“Oh my, Alex. Why did he disappear?”
Even Luna had come out long ago. Her performance in the trial was considered suitable as she had killed a demon beast. Presently, she screamed in shock when she saw Alex suddenly disappearing.
Claudia also hurriedly asked, “Sir, what is this situation?”
The old protector wore a rather strange expression, also surprised.
“It can’t be!”
“The trial in the True Martial Shrine shouldn’t have harmed his main body. Even if he were to fail, he would be sent out. Oh, I remember…”
The old man suddenly slapped his thigh and looked exceptionally regretful.
At that moment, Luna’s heart skipped a beat. “Sir, what have you remembered? Tell us quickly!”
The old man said, “I suddenly remembered that he was carrying the shell of Genbu, my tribe’s ancestor, for the trial. My ancestor was the only one who pass ed the trial at the True Martial Shrine. When Alex was carrying the tortoiseshell, he would possess a bonus tenth of the ancestor’s will, but it would trigger a kind of mechanism at the True Martial Shrine.”
“What kind of mechanism?”
“In his case, the consequence of failure is different from yours. He will be instantly obliterated. Look at him now…”
“Ahh..!”
Luna exclaimed after hearing the old man’s words. As though petrified, and she could not even stand in place. If Metztli hadn’t hugged her, she would have collapsed.
Luna, the little witch, had an unpredictable behavior and seemed passionate and open in love affairs, but was in fact, committed to a relationship. Having the personality of being brave in love and hate, whenever love came, she would pursue it without hesitation. Hence, even if Alex had long been married and had a wife, she had no qualms about it.
It was because she had once loved him to the core.
How could she not be heartbroken, now that she heard Alex had been obliterated?
‘I didn’t expect something like this to be on the heads of these beasts.’
Alex held a bloody crystal in his hand. It was the demonic core from the demon beast that he had killed. Then, he directly summoned the flaming lotus of Buddha’s wrath and threw the demonic core into it.
The flaming lotus rotated and melted the demonic core right away. Alex absorbed a mass of mysterious factors that had erupted from inside.
Presently, a pair of extremely obscure eyes as huge as mountains revealed themselves in the endless sky, blinking gently as an extremely subtle voice muttered to itself. “How strange. How did the Ancestral Bodhi Tree from Dairaionji Temple get into his body? What is the origin of this guy?”
“The Ancestral Bodhi Tree dragged his physical body into this place. Is that considered cheating?”
“Forget it… Forget it. Since he has acquired the Ancestral Bodhi Tree’s recognition, it’s considered a kind of ability.”
That was right. Alex, who had disappeared from the True Martial Shrine, hadn’t been obliterated yet.
