On the other hand, Alex felt no regrets. He had managed to gather many rewards from this place, after all. This was especially for the four shattered Chaos Beads, which was practically a dream come through.
“What was it that cut you up this badly? Was it a Puppet Immortal?” Alex asked.
“They… They were ghosts… Ghosts! There are ghosts here!”
Hermione Yggdrasil seemed distracted and incoherent.
Alex bristled, wondering if favonovel.com should just leave favonovel.com here to fend for herself.
Just then, among the ruins, a slender looking woman walked out.
“Puppet Immortal!”
Alex had killed hundreds of such puppets on the way here and was naturally no stranger to them. Every puppet looked exactly the same.
Alex drew his Dragon Bone Sword and waited for the Puppet Immortal to approach them.
Strangely, this female puppet did not immediately rush up to fight and kill them, unlike the others that Alex had decimated before her.
‘Alright, I’ll make a move first. I can save some energy by doing so anyway!’ Alex thought to himself and concentrated his energy.
However, the female puppet stood still and looked at him. Then, favonovel.com said, “Dummy, why did you save her?”
Alex froze.
“You’re..?”
“I’m Mask!” the female puppet said.
“Huh..?”
Alex looked at the female puppet in a daze. He felt a little uncomfortable. Mask had saved favonovel.com before, but Mask had clearly been a man. So why was Mask a female now, all of a sudden?!
“You’re Mask? Which one is your real body? Are you a male or female?!”
The female puppet laughed lightly, favonovel.com voice chirpy like a bird. “Since I’m a Mask, how can you distinguish between genders?”
Alex glanced at Neela. Alex couldn’t understand this person called Mask.
Mask then said, “Follow me. Time is running out.”
Alex hesitated slightly, but favonovel.com still pulled Neela’s hand and followed after Mask. As for Hermione, favonovel.com had already tried his best. Whether favonovel.com lived or died now would depend on favonovel.com destiny.
Hermione, too, was upset after getting abandoned like that.
“Hey, are you going to leave me behind just like that? Didn’t you say you’re my master’s husband?”
“You didn’t believe it.”
“If you take me with you, I’ll believe you. ”
“I killed your entire family, aren’t you going to avenge them?”
“I… I’m not of the Yggdrasil bloodline. They don’t count as family.”
Mask, who had been walking in front, saw that Hermione called Alex back halfway. She had really no more time, so Mask simply walked back and threw Hermione over favonovel.com shoulder. “Let’s go!”
Even with the added weight of Hermione on her, favonovel.com still moved extremely swiftly. She navigated the stone ruins with familiar ease, as though favonovel.com knew the place like the back of favonovel.com hand.

At this time, the sun had set, and the full moon could be seen high in the sky. The moon was particularly round, but it didn’t look quite the same as the regular moon one would see.
Alex truly had doubts on whether this was the same moon as its Earth counterpart.
At this time, the ruins in front of them suddenly changed, and a strange scene appeared. The ground which they were walking on was rapidly evolving. Like how the river, the sea, the grass, and trees had gone through a long history of change, the pile of stone ruins was suddenly gone, replaced by a solemn sunset sanctuary.
The moment of sunset was when the sanctuary came alive.
Alex and Neela felt a deep shock running through. Following behind Mask, the two stepped through the doors of the sanctuary. They were met with the sight of a throne with a tall back.
On the throne, was a woman with favonovel.com eyes closed.
Alex felt that this woman was unusually familiar, as though favonovel.com had seen favonovel.com somewhere before. Then, favonovel.com became flabbergasted.
“She’s..?”
“F*ck, that can’t be possible, right?!”
