Book 3: Chapter 35.2: Rescue Part II

The Street Next to the Grand Hotel

Less than a minute ago

Alexander ignores the sounds of his sister fighting the arachnae and over a dozen other Class V demons at once inside of the building as he focuses on the blood lycan and her six Class V Nobles. The battle had been going relatively well for him, but something about the way the Marchioness has been blanking out recently tells him something unexpected and most likely unpleasant was about to happen.

Despite that, Alexander doesnt feel all that much about it. He hasnt felt that much at all since his run-in with the Lady of Devouring, where she simply ate any emotions of love and compassion he once had, along with a large majority of the rest of his emotions.

He doesnt consider that a bad thing, necessarily. But he does occasionally wonder why hes fighting.

Alexander shakes his head, keeping his dead gaze locked on the blood lycan right as its eyes begin to glow with a much brighter crimson light than before. Then he notices little glowing crimson veins spreading throughout her body, the Marchioness stiffening up in the process.

I was right. Unpleasant.

Even with that thought though, Alexander just lightly shakes his head and begins backing up a little while preparing to use his mythic skill.

Blue Knight, as I am in a hurry, I will give you one chance to run, the Marchionesss mouth begins to speak, but Alexander can easily tell that its not her speaking.

Alexander just shakes his head, not feeling much care for the Demon Lords proposal which wasnt a proposal.

Looks like my niece is in danger. That is the only reason he is likely to risk his mind by connecting across worlds.

The Knight stands in place for a few seconds before coming to a decision.

He may not care about that girl, nor does he necessarily care about his sister anymore, but he feels like a favor owed to him would be of great use. So without hesitating, he calls his sister through his terminal, not taking his eyes off of the Demon Lord in the Marchionesss body even for a moment.

As soon as it connects, he hears explosions echoing out from the other end as she shouts, What is it?! sounding angry that hes distracting her.

Guess it would be unpleasant if someone interrupted my battle. Like Leonidas did.

Your husband is here, he states, not explaining any more than that. And out of the corner of his eye, he notices her eyes widening in shock. But she appears to be too locked into her battle to leave with the fifteen Class V demons hounding at her from all sides. If you wish for it, I will let the Blood Lord go save your daughter. In exchange for a favor.

Whites eyes widen on the screen before narrowing for a moment and then she finally grits her teeth and says, Fine, do it. But make sure you-

Alexander hangs up the call, not needing to be told to follow him and continue the fight after the Demon Lord is done with the blood lycans body. He then narrows his eyes slightly and calls out to the Demon Lord who seems to be preparing a skill, Let me keep an eye on you and we have a deal.

The Demon Lords eyes go wide in shock before he snaps out of it and nods his head.

After you leave the Marchionesss body, I will continue my battle with her, Alexander further states, to which the Blood Lord seems to have no issue as he immediately turns around and begins flying through the air in a swirl of blood in a specific direction.

Without even a glance towards the Grand Hotel or the other Class V demons they just left behind, Alexander follows after the man by encasing himself in water and flying through the air in a similar manner as the Demon Lord. They then fly through over a third of the citys length before reaching a park where Alexander notices his niece standing awkwardly in a large barren wasteland of an area in the middle of the park.

Alexander glances at the Demon Lord, vaguely recognizing the effects of the mans skills in the area. And he quickly finds the man looking both extremely worried and proud at the same time.

The two land in the middle of the glowing red and black ash filled wasteland of a park clearing before Alexander stands off to the side and watches as the Demon Lord walks over to his daughter. And once he reaches her, Alexander finally notices the tanuki floating around her seemingly in a panic.

Her fae.

Leonidas doesnt waste a single second, immediately waving his hand and sending a wave of blood all around him that he then begins to use to write runes in the air. Runes that Alexander have no idea what do, because every time he tries to understand any of the runes himself, he gets a major headache, and the meaning of the rune simply slips by him along with the memory of what it looked like.

Blood Runes. One of his mythic skills.

So Alexander focuses his attention on the girl instead as a bright crimson light shines from the runes and waves of the blood begin rushing into the girls arms and legs, slowly reversing the petrification until her arms and legs are fully restored. And immediately after the man finishes that, he simply waves his hand, causing blood to rush in and clear out any infection or bacteria that may have gotten into her wound before another blood rune fully heals the gaping hole in her collarbone. One that Alexander assumes must have been much bigger before they had arrived considering his knowledge of the girls regeneration.

Probably has the weaker Blood Regeneration. It wouldve healed long before we got here, both the wound and her petrification, if she had her grandfathers Lycans Regeneration.

After the girls wounds are all healed and she is no longer in danger, Leonidas lets out a sigh of relief and brings the girl gently into his arms, cradling her like a newborn baby despite her age. And the look Alexander can see in the mans eye even hits him somehow despite his loss of compassion. A look of pure love. Of regret, joy, grief, happiness, and just a simple enjoyment of holding his daughter for the first time since she was a baby.

Alexander blinks at that look before shaking his head.

Blood lycans. So obsessed with their family.

He begins to turn around as the Blood Lord does the same with his daughter in his arms. But he stops after a second as a thought comes to mind.

What wouldve happened if my family was like that?

The thought worms its way into his head somehow and he cant seem to get rid of it. He doesnt feel much of anything towards the thought though, so he isnt sure why it wont leave his head.

Eventually he shakes his head again and follows the Blood Lord back to the Grand Hotel.
