Chapter 455 - 443: Inside The Void 1
Some said death is the end; some said during your last moment, you will see your life flash before your eyes; however, Alex experienced none of these things. It was questionable whether or not he was genuinely dead after receiving that unexpected attack from Priscilla, which crushed his heart.
At the moment, Alex was inside a void, only darkness; he couldn't see his body. He tried to call Silveria many times but failed; naturally he was also unable to communicate with Nyx.
Alex doesn't know what state he was currently in, sighted before reflecting upon everything that happened to him recently. At least by doing this, he could kill some of the boredom he felt.
He was careless; he should have stayed vigilant until the very end; if he had done that, he wouldn't be in the state he was currently in. He had thought Priscilla received sufficient damage and had fled, but on the contrary, after using the Night Lord to turn into countless bats, she secretly sneaked behind him and crushed his heart; she ist have combined the Night Lord with her Ethereal form to deal the deadly blow.
''Sigh! I'm still lacking. I'm still lacking in the defensive area; only Loki is not enough. If only I could create a defensive bullet.''
Alone in this God knows where place, Alex decided to use his brain, he must think of a possible solution, as he said he lacked defensive bullets; not only that, he must have a diversity of bullets as well to be able to help him in different situations.
Slowly Alex became lost in thoughts; he forgot about everything, only focusing on acquiring new skills or, more accurately, a new type of bullets.
Outside, his body was slowly sinking in the abyss of Stryrix River; there was still a large hole in his chest where his chest used to be; however, it was stopped bleeding but showed no sign of regenerating.
?Master, Master, please wake up, Master...?
Silveria desperate voice echoed through the deep water; however, as she feared Alex didn't wake up, to make matters worse, something seemed to be blocking her, she was unable to come out, and she was also unable to provide any assistance; she could only watch helplessly as her master sunk deeper into the Stryrix River. She didn't know when it began, but she ended caring for this man whom she didn't take seriously at the start. She couldn't bear to see him die, not again, not after staying lonely during all these years; he was like his family; he was precious. She would never let him die.
''Wake up!" Silveria roared, silver light burst from her body and tried to pierce through her world to reach Alex's body but failed at the end. The silver-haired body roared and kept trying, again and again; she was too focused on what she was doing; if not, she would have noticed that Alex's heart was not destroyed, a small fragment was left, and this small had crimson light surrounding it as if trying to restore it, it was working albeit slowly.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Athens, the capital of the Asura's empire was the disguised Sakuya, she was disguised as a Succubus, she was slowly moving toward the meeting point the three had agreed upon when suddenly she froze, an intense feeling of loneliness assaulted her, almost as if she just lost something important. Still, it happened too fast; she returned to normal shortly after; she shook her head and continued walking forward.
Meanwhile, Lilith, who had impersonated one of the guards, slowly escaped from the underground hell prison, currently, she was on the sixteenth layer, only two more layers and she would be out; it was then the same thing that happened to Sakuya happened to her, however, unlike Sakuya she was able to guess to some extent what happened. It must be Alex who faced something unexpected; her complexion changed; while planning, she had considered many scenarios but hoped for the worse to never happen; for example, if one of them were to face one of the dukes, what should be done? Most of the time, a Duke wouldn't be dispatched, not after she let herself get caught, but somehow the worse case had happened; strong as he might be, Alex couldn't survive facing a Duke-level existence; they are an absolute monster.
'I need to hurry and see him.' Thought the demon's princess as she walked faster toward the exit of the sixteenth hell. While passing other guards who questioned her about what an upper-level hell guardian was doing here, she ignored them before knocking them out; the eyes of the surrounding prisoners shined, they thought that someone had come to rescue them; unfortunately, it was not the case, Lilith had once thought releasing the prisoners also known as Hell residents but finally decided not to. She might wish for Lucifer's destruction; it doesn't mean she would destroy something her ancestors had built with her own hands.
Ignoring the Hell residents of the sixteenth Hell desperate shouts, Lilith departed; shortly after she arrived at the seventeenth floor, like on the previous floor, she knocked down all the guards before moving to the eighteenth floor.
However, the moment Lilith stepped on the eighteenth floor, she knew that something wasn't right; it was too much quiet, blood splattered the ground, Lilith felt chill down her spine, unconsciously she gulped, without hesitation, she shot toward a certain location she had once used, it was her exit's ticket; unfortunately, her worst fear was proven to be right.
Just as Lilith was about to use one of the hidden exits on the eighteenth floor, she was bounced back; she glided across the eighteenth hell's floor, she was forced to use her sword to stop her advance; if not, her back would have been pierced by a sharp rock protruding from the eighteenth-floor wall.
''Come out; I know you have been waiting for my arrival..'' Lilith calmly stated, her face was cold as a block of ice as she waited for the hidden enemies to show up.
