Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

Chapter 186: Change of Plan

Alex doesn't quickly help Aurora; he looks around the area and searches for the other person, Derrick, the other infiltrator.

After some time, he doesn't find anyone. Despite not getting attacked by the illusion barrier, Alex's vision was still limited; he could not see too far nor use Vesa Map.

He then decided to wake Aurora first. "Aurora, wake up," he said as he put his hand over her shoulder.

Aurora suddenly felt a refreshing energy pass through her body, changing her world. Before, she found herself in a forest filled with many big trees and cliffs.

"To think I got hit by an illusion."

"It's not weird. I think the one who made this is your mother. And probably, she even used your fairy dust in the process."

Looking around the area, Aurora mumbled, "Maybe."

With her mother's understanding, it's not weird Freya can utilize her Fairy Dust. Although she doesn't know how.

Based on her knowledge, fairy dust can only be used by the one who created it. Otherwise, fairies would be hunted to extinction already.

But then a thought surfaced in her mind, 'What if this limitation is made on purpose? In reality, Fairy Dust could be used by anyone?'

"What are you dazing around about? Touch my shoulder and follow me; we need to move quickly," Alex reminded me.

"Ah, sorry, just realized something." She then held Alex at the wrist, "this will be easier in case we need to fight."

Alex didn't mind; they then kept moving deeper toward the mother tree.

On the way, they don't meet anything; this doesn't relieve Alex since this means Derrick has already reached the tree.

Based on the information he got from the man with the blade, there are two people entering this place. As for the purpose, the man still remains silent even after some intense sessions with Vesa.

[King, I think there is a mechanism that blocks him from saying anything about this matter in his mind, but I can speculate the purpose.]

[There are only two; either there is something important in the mother tree that the Ifrit race needs, or personal reasons like the hate toward Aimu and Freya.]

'I doubt it's hate. If that were the goal, they would just order the hell gate to wreak havoc on this secret realm.

Based on how they do things, they should have gotten information and are sure Feiladen exists in this place.

Emily, me, and the others were just involved by accident. Although, with the situation now, I cannot let this just pass by.'

If Olivia and Zold were captured by the Ifrit race and they found out he is a progenitor heir, things would go out of hand quickly. He will need to take extreme measures, sending all his friends and family to the Cultivation world while he acts as bait.

Alex has decided since no one knows Alucard's heir is a pair. He plans to take on that role while letting MingYue grow in the shadow.

He plans to give the bangle from Freya to her if he fails to find a way to replicate it.

There are a few reasons for this, but mainly, it's the most logical. He will go to the category five dungeon to find his father; this will mean he will need to face off against the half-dragon race.

It's only a matter of time before they find out he is of the vampire race or, worse, a progenitor heir.

A thought then came to his mind, 'I should prioritize powering up first, recovering Vesa's power, then raising my progenitor transformation before looking at my father.'

After seeing the King, Aimu, and Freya fight, Alex realizes going to the frontline now will only result in suicide.

Time passed; they finally reached the mother tree. What he saw confirmed his suspicion.

He could see many skeletons digging around the tree. It's clear they don't want to destroy it; they want to bring the whole tree out.

A man could be seen standing on the side; he had a rough appearance with a black beard and mustache. His body was bulky and muscular, making him look more like a warrior, not a necromancer.

"Do you know anything about this tree?" Alex asked in a low voice.

"I only know it's important, and we need to protect it. It's the core of protection of this place."

"What happens if it gets uprooted?"

"Something bad," Aurora replied.

Alex's lips twitched, "if that is what I wanted to know, I wouldn't ask you. Forget it. Let's ask the source."

Turning his gaze toward Derrick, Alex took out his embershift hammer. Seeing the hammer, Aurora tugged his hand. "Don't tell me you want to use fire. We cannot damage the tree."

"Don't worry, I know moderation, and it's not easy to burn the tree," Alex replied confidently. But Aurora is not convinced.

Since she was a kid, her mother always pointed out how important the tree is. She doesn't want to take any risks.

Seeing how adamant Aurora is, Alex decides to relent. He doesn't want to waste time convincing her. Since the hammer is out of the question, he decided to use firearms.

His mind started thinking about the best way to destroy all the skeletons to dust without damaging the tree. brought to you by mvl-empyr

He wants to take out Derrick's skeleton without hurting him to give him enough pressure so he can bait some information.

At first, his plan was to disguise himself as his comrade to get more information, but looking at the man's skeleton, he changed his mind.

Aurora's illusion won't be able to trick this skeleton. Then, an idea came to his mind: the skeleton was not living. It's just like a robot.

He may have limitations on putting living beings into the awecube, as he needs to subdue them first, but for a skeleton, he feels this is not needed.

Even if the worst happened and the skeleton started losing parts of his body, that would not be a problem for him.
