Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

Chapter 321: Inside The Room

To normal eyes, Jake may have only flicked his finger, but Alex saw what really happened.

He could see the shadow gathering on Jake's finger, turning into a sphere.

Then, with a flick, he shot it like a solid object.

'His ability is related to shadow…. It seems this type of energy causes a special reaction. But why?'

Alex then started coming to a realization. In the first place, what is shadow?

It's nothing more than darkness created from light. It's not a real object or even energy, just a term used to address this phenomenon.

Then how could it be used as an attack or something solid?

'It's all thanks to Mana… but there should be more rules on this. Wait, the fireball I created before was using Qi.

Does this mean there is something more about Mana than what I know?

Something that could make all these weird abilities come true.

Even in the cultivation world, Mingyue has never heard of anyone with abilities overshadowing or any other abstract concept.'

Alex felt he was getting into something, but he knew it wasn't the priority for now. Alex created another small fireball, but this time, he mixed it with a bit of Mana.

The barrier rippled once more; this time, it was reflected with stronger momentum. 'It seems it's true, Mana will be returned with more power.'

Curious, Alex moved closer. There was one more energy he hadn't tried, and that was lifeforce.

He raised his palm forward, and blood seeped out from his fingertips, moving like a snake, slowly creeping into the barrier.

The moment it touched, there was no ripple. The blood snake kept moving in without any hindrance. Alex's lips curled into a smile. The next moment, his body glowed with green energy.

Alex walked forward, entering the room.

Jake looked at it in a daze, 'I am right. He is not normal at all. Just what is that green energy? I am sure it's not Mana.'

For a hunter like Jake, who was already used to Mana, Qi didn't feel much different. Find your next read at m_v l|e-NovelBin.net

The only exception was people like Isolde; she invested a lot of time and resources learning about Mana to reach a new level of strength.

However, the lifeforce was different; it gave out a unique presence that made them feel like they were seeing a living being compared to energy.

Inside, Alex's eyes quickly locked onto the floating object in the middle of the room. He didn't even look at the surrounding area.

An eyeball was floating inside a glass container, releasing a weird energy that seemed to be transferred upward.

Alex's instincts flared, embershift hammer appearing in his hand as he leaped forward.

BAM! PRANG!!!

The glass smashed into pieces, but the moment it hit the eyeball, Alex felt like he was hitting a very strong resistance. It was like he was using a normal hammer trying to destroy a wall.

His muscles tensed as he focused more strength on the attack. Flames started appearing on the hammer's surface, creating a sizzling heat that melted the resistance.

Alex didn't use any Qi or Mana, wanting to avoid any reaction.

He still didn't know if this eyeball was the source of the weird barrier outside, but he could guess what this eyeball was for.

It looked like the one in the outer gate, meaning with this eyeball, the gate above could probably connect to the universe hub.

If not because he had met the strange eye creature, Alex would try to capture it. But since he already knew how strong it was, Alex took the safe route; he just wanted to completely destroy it.

Feeling its protection starts breaking, the eyeball's pupil narrowed.

A black fog started coming out from its body, turning it into a humanoid monster with one big eye and no other features.

The black humanoid creature leaped forward, its hand clenched into a fist, then moved toward Alex's face.

Alex tilted his head, trying to dodge, but the creature seemed to know where he was going to move as it adjusted the angle to make sure it hit him square in the face.

Since he couldn't dodge, Alex created a blood barrier covering his face. He then stomped on the ground, creating an explosive flame to knock everything away.

But the creature didn't even flinch. The fist hit Alex, crashing into the blood barrier and launching him into the wall.

Alex could feel his cheek was sore, but it lasted only for a moment before it healed. He then took back the hammer and covered his hand with solid blood.

The creature had already gotten close to Alex again, preparing to pummel him. Alex quickly stabilized his body, and his hand hit the creature in the torso.

Seeing its reaction, Alex quickly realized what he was up against. His lips turned into a grin.

Light started materializing in his hand, forming into a cube. In the next moment, the creature felt a pull toward the cube.

A black fog started coming out once again from its body, canceling the pulling force.

Alex raised his hand, throwing more of the awecube, creating more suction. This made the creature let out more black fog to protect itself.

Based on its movement, Alex realized the creature didn't have any sentience; it was more like a golem, a dead object that could move.

This meant he shouldn't have any problem imprisoning it into the awecube.

Capitalizing on the opportunity, Alex manipulated the blood on his fist, turning it into a spear, the tip twisted like a drill head, while it started emanating heat.

Then he started manipulating it into a spin, like a drill.

Alex crouched his body down, then sprinted toward the creature.

Screeching sounds followed by sparks filled the air as Alex tried to pierce its torso. The creature gazed down, looking at him.

Alex grinned. This was the moment he was waiting for; he knew if he directly targeted the eye, the creature would react very differently.
