What came into sight was endless corpses, dismembered limbs, and a horrific bloodbath.
A woman, drenched in blood, held a three or four year old child in her arms. Numerous spikes had penetrated the child’s chest, and its abdomen was exposed in the front.
“Mom… Mom, it hurts…”
Tears streamed down the woman’s cheeks. Her face was filled with panic and despair. She kept holding the child, channeling her Chi into it as she coughed blood. However, as the child lost more blood, he became increasingly weaker and paler… He no longer showed a sign of life after a certain moment.
“Ahh!”
Holding the child, the woman trembled and bawled. Next to her knee was a corpse of a kneeling man. His hands were wide open as if he wanted to hug or protect that little child, but he was gravely injured with a bloody hole as huge as a bowl on his chest and abdomen. His internal organs had been hollowed out, and half of his neck was also broken.
“Boo-hoo…”
The woman bawled sorrowfully without tears.
While holding the child in one hand, she held the man who had lost his life beside her with the other hand.
They were a family.
Consequently, the woman’s husband died in battle, and her child also passed away. Her family was ruined. The woman had lost the most important people and towers of strength in her life. She was devastated and became crazy.
Her consciousness was trapped in this nightmare all the time, experiencing the torment day in day out.
‘This is the Crazy Crone’s nightmare-like story!’
Alex appeared in the nightmare. His blood ran cold when he looked at the boundless wilderness with piles of corpses all over the ground. Where was this place?
What had she experienced?
Then, he discovered that all the corpses on the ground were… The Undying Clan members. Judging from the size, they were all extremely powerful existences among the Undying Clan, but at least tens of millions of them ended up dead here.
Did they come to hunt down this family?
This was undoubtedly the result of Alex’s forceful interference. Those words were all a nightmare he made up. Afterward, the man also left. He turned into a phantom and disappeared before the woman. All the corpses, including the Undying Clan members, also rapidly vanished like vapor.
Alex said to the woman, “You should wake up!”
To the woman, Alex’s words were like a wake-up call. It seemed that she just noticed a stranger standing in front of her, so she jumped up abruptly. She pointed a long sword, which suddenly appeared in her hand, at Alex and asked sternly, “Who are you?”
“I’m someone who came to wake you up,” said Alex.
“Did you do that? Did you take away my babe and my husband?” The woman’s eyes were filled with madness.
“Yes. I took them away.”
“I’m going to kill you!”
The woman swung the sword in her hand to slash him without hesitation.
