“Do you really think you can escape?”
Even though Julian hadn’t suffered any actual harm, he was in a rather messy state. It was mainly because he had his guard down when the first image attacked. Although he’d destroyed the image in one hit, he still got hit by its thunder attack, which injured the left side of his stomach.
Moreover, the impact of the following seven self-destructions was also quite powerful. If he hadn’t had his ancestor’s defense treasure on him, he would’ve really died there.
“A mere weakling with Core Formation actually harmed me?” .
“Those mirror images are definitely not his own power, but from an invincible treasure!”
Julian clenched his teeth, his eyes turning blood red. He wanted to get his hands on such a treasure. Most importantly, Nolan was too valuable. The Fourcade ancestors had searched for the holy book for thousands of years, after all, and now that they were only one step away from attaining it, his ancestor would definitely be furious if he messed things up.
“Callum, Collin, guard the entrance of the snow valley. Don’t let them get away!” Julian shouted to his grandsons. He then rushed into the snow valley on his own and left the two behind.
Alex could clearly sense that he’d been targeted by the old fellow since a faint soul imprint landed upon him and tangled his soul. Under such circumstances, he couldn’t remove it by force even if he wanted to, not in such a short time, at least.
“My dear grandchild, please put me down. I still have some mental strength. I can hold them back for a while, and you take the chance to run as quickly as possible!” Nolan said urgently to Alex.
Alex’s answer was obvious when he placed Nolan into the cleansing vase.
He didn’t go in himself because he had an imprint on his body, afraid they’d still be found by Julian even though he hid him in the vase. If that were to happen, he would definitely be caught.
“Hmm?” Julian’s divine sense had been following Alex.
“What? The tree can heal itself while in hibernation?” Alex was shocked and utterly speechless.
“Oh! The Ancestral Bodhi Tree is a divine tree that grew during the beginnings of Earth, its longevity and powers way above humans like you. It can almost literally do any thing.”
However, the truth was far from that. Before leaving, Shelly had given orders not to help Alex unless he was in immense danger. The aim of that was to force out Alex’s true potential when he was caught in a life and death situation.
“How long would it be in hibernation? Can it stop halfway?” Alex asked.
“Of course not!”
