Alex’s heart skipped a beat as he saw the two golden bugs.
The others, too, knew how bad the situation had turned. The appearance of the two bugs was as if the queen of all bugs had arrived, all the other red bugs started crawling to the ground and shuddered in fear.
“F*ck! Why do we have to encounter such things!” Alex complained, his heartbeat quickened.
He immediately said, “Principal Lewin, you drive the boat and bring them forward. Go search for my master and the others. I’ll handle things here.”
Of course, Luna disagreed with him. “No. If we leave, we leave together. How can we just ditch you here? I can stay back and fight, you know?”
“Alex, I’ll stay too,” Freya said.
Alex grunted. “What’s the use of you two staying? You’ll only be a burden. Principal Lewin, go, now!”
“Alex, don’t act tough. Can you really handle the situation?” Xerxes asked quietly.
Alex smiled. “Have you forgotten how I killed the Immortal Emperor while we were in the Underworld? Why would I fear a few bugs if I could kill that emperor? Don’t worry, I’m invincible. They can’t harm me, but they might hurt you guys.”
Xerxes indeed had a strong impression of Alex’s powers while they were in the Underworld, and thus, felt assured by Alex’s words. “Okay, I believe you. We’ll wait for you at the front!”
Whoosh!
Alex jumped from the boat and landed on the ground.
Luna’s cry could be heard from above. “Honey, you have to return safely. If you don’t, I… I’ll find another man and cheat on you…”
‘This… Was this a reminder or a threat?’
Freya wanted to say something, but she couldn’t bring herself to say anything bold like her sister. Thus, she stomped her feet and shouted, “Alex, don’t you dare die! We’ll be waiting for you, alright?”
“Would the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell be able to freeze them?!”
Alex thought of a plan and secretly summoned the furnace of forbidden spells. He would definitely not give up his life. Worst case scenario, he could still hide in the Cleansing Vase.
Whoosh!
The two bugs turned into two rays of golden light. They moved at the speed of lightning and headed right towards Alex. They were getting closer…
The two human locusts gave a cold expression, obviously full of themselves.
“Such ignorance for a bunch of natives. Just die already!” One of them said.
Alex activated his primordial and divine eyes simultaneously, watching the bugs closely and clearly catching their flying route. He then lifted the Xavion Sword while the furnace of forbidden spells worked secretly.
