CHAPTER 374 - We were late!
Alex was going to come back here to the Phoenixia Empire; this empire had some protagonists within it, and a protagonist meant a coin farm for Alex.
All he had to do was reap the protagonist, and he will have the rewards.
Even the Phoenix, whose name is Emberlyn Ashborn, was going to be reaped by him sooner or later; it would entirely depend on what her response was.
He could've just killed her and left with the rewards, no one would've even known that it was him, they would've thought that the phoenix died on its own.
But he gave her a chance, as he knew that she wasn't a bad entity; she might instead be the only one he found until today who could be called a good entity.
So, he let her be and moved toward the spot where he had left Ann and Noctura, as he could sense the presence of someone from legendary rank moving toward them.
He could sense the presence of three strong phoenixes—all of them with their powers reaching the peak of legendary 2—from the chamber Emberlyn lived in, but he just waved it off.
He didn't care about what others did until they did something that could harm him or the ones he cared for.
*Woosh*
"ARGHHHHHHHHH! FATHER WON'T LET YOU OFF!!"
Alex arrived there in less than a second, only to hear an enraged scream from Edmund, the young master who was getting played by Ann and Noctura.
Alex didn't even spare a glance at that guy, but the moment he appeared in the area—the busy marketplace—everyone froze.
His commanding presence and strong aura were enough to suffocate anyone who gazed at him—at least the normal people with low power levels.
"A-Alice..?"
It was then that Ann came out of the space cover she was hiding in, her steps unsteady as her gaze trembled.
The way Alice was lying in Alex's hand, unmoving, gave her worried mind a much different picture than it actually was.
"She's sleeping."
Just then, as if sensing Ann's unnecessary worry, Alex smiled at her, and the moment Ann heard his words, her body relaxed.
"Sleeping..."
She muttered as her gaze finally caught sight of the light, comfortable smile on Alice's face as she had her arms wrapped around Alex's neck.
She finally smiled with a shake of her hands as she moved closer to Alex.
Noctura, who had turned into her larger or original form, also moved toward Alex before she lunged at him.
If it were a normal person, then they would've had their eyes widened at the sight of a 2+ meters high wolf jumping on them, but Alex just smiled.
*Swoosh*
The next second, Noctura, who was about to reach Alex, turned into her chibi form, and her body landed exactly at her rightful spot—his shoulder.
But just then...
"Y-You bastard! Are you with them as well—?!"
A loud yell, filled with pain and rage, echoed through the area as Edmund, who was stunned for a second, finally broke free.
He saw Alex, and the first thought that appeared in his head, much like everyone else, was, 'Fucking handsome.'
He couldn't believe that having such divine features was even possible.
But as soon as the guy noticed Ann moving toward Alex, his gaze froze again before an unfiltered rage coursed through his veins.
If he had seen it, then he wouldn't have taken these steps.
"Why should I answer a dead man?"
Alex muttered as he squinted his eyes, and the next second, a blade made of space, which was only visible to those who had space elements or perceivable by those who had sharp senses.
The Duke of the Phoenixia empire should be able to perceive it, but that was only if he had a normal state of mind, which he didn't have right now.
Right now, his eyes were clouded by rage and remorse as the dead body of his son was still spewing blood on the ground.
"YOU BASTARD—!"
Calderon gritted his teeth, rushing toward Alex with his hands coated with a strange orange flame, but before he could even take a step forward...
*Slash*
*Thud*
His head was decapitated by the space blade, and it fell to the ground with a thud, followed by a heavy this of his body.
*Thud*
"Shall we go now?"
Alex then turned to look at Ann while still holding Alice in his arms.
He had to move out of this area first and then maybe try teleporting all of them to the demon empire.
"Yes."
Ann nodded her head, moving closer to him with a smile; neither of them even spared a glance at the dead bodies of the people in the surroundings, including Edmund and Calderon.
It was as if all of this didn't bother them in the least, which it didn't.
*Woosh*
As Alex willed to, all four of them were zapped out of this crowded area, moving toward a more secluded area as Alex needed calm and silent surroundings to try teleporting.
He did learn some things from Azaroth in the free time he had, and his mastery over space had increased a bit, so maybe he might just be able to do it.
{Sigh...}
Sophia, however, just sighed in defeat as she knew that it would take no more than 2 tries for Alex to learn teleportation.
The marketplace, on the other hand, was left frozen, a deathly silence enveloping the area; the ones in the area had yet to understand what had just happened, but just then...
*Swoosh* X3
Three whistling of winds were heard and the next second...
"Shit! We were late!"
"Sigh..."
"He was killed in a single strike."
Three voices were heard as Agni, Pura, and Griva arrived in the marketplace, although a bit late. Experience exclusive tales on empire
They tried to spread their senses, trying to look for Alex, but after being unable to find a single clue of him, they just sighed and waved their hands, lifting the bodies of the deceased, attending to them, and checking if any of them were still alive.
With that, Alex's visit to the Phoenixia Empire was over, at least for now.
