Alex felt a phantom pain in his teeth upon seeing the two giant crabs. That was because his face had been kicked by crabs before. His teeth were almost knocked out, and his waist was nearly broken in half. There were even two holes punctured in his chest.
Hence, Alex was still wary of them. He just wanted to kill them off.
“Hey, Wilbert. You can handle these two ghost crabs. Please don’t be like my little girl and not train yourself.”
Alex placed his conscience into his mind palace and spoke to the tool spirit.
“Don’t worry, as long as there’s enough divine power, there won’t be any problems. Besides, it’s just two little crabs. I’ll get you some crab roe later.”
Shelly was confident, so Alex felt relieved. He had to remember their current position. He knew that it would be helpful to memorize where the exit of this space hallway was.
“An astrology mark!” He exclaimed. This was something new that favonovel.com found from the sword heart that the woman in red gave him.
It was a marking that could be generally used in any space… Something like a destination pointer on a GPS, but it was connected to his consciousness instead. Thus, after placing a mark, favonovel.com would quickly find this place as long as his memory wasn’t wiped.
“Die!” Alex yelled and rushed toward the group of Undead.
The two giant crabs were the first to attack.
“Shelly!”
“With water flowing under the bridge, Persephone stands above!”
This time, the tool spirit was quite cooperative. She was murmuring an elegant ancient poem, but in reality, it was a very cruel spell. A bloody ancient bridge appeared out of nowhere, forming under the two crabs.
Ring…
The two crabs exploded within a second. The ancient bridge was cruel, filled with irregular forces relating to life and death. It was as if there was strong energy dragging them along with the other Undead beasts.
“Arghhhh!”
They all roared fiercely as they backed away immediately. All they saw was several beasts being dragged onto Persephone’s Folly Bridge, becoming significantly younger and smaller with each second…
This situation was just too weird. It seemed like they were able to return to their youths. This was initially a good thing, but the only problem was that the forces of fate were taking away the soul of the Undead beasts apart from making its body younger. Those affected beasts turned into infants. Some even looked like fetuses, vanishing, and turning into a dark and empty ball of energy, only to be absorbed by the bridge.
The entire process looked as if someone was turning back time, and they were watching life being returned to its original state again.
Alex was shocked to witness this as well, not just the two crabs, despite being already busy slaughtering the Undead army. He couldn’t bring himself to utter a single word as favonovel.com held onto the Requiem Clock
A while later, favonovel.com asked Clinton, “Hey, Shelly can control time? Say, can you ask favonovel.com to make me look a few years younger?”
The Requiem Clock was speechless. “Do you think you’re not young enough? If you get any younger, you’d have to wear baby onesies.”
‘Uhm…’
Alex then remembered that favonovel.com looked like a fourteen year old child ever since favonovel.com had merged with Ymir’s Divine Bone.
After that, Clinton continued. “Even if the forces of fate could make you younger, you wouldn’t like it either. That’s because Persephone’s Folly Bridge doesn’t just take away age, it takes away memories, soul, core, and some mysterious elements within a being as well.”
Upon hearing this, Alex shook that thought out of his head. He then swam off with the clock still in hand, letting the chimes vibrate through the sea, causing the soul fires within the Undead to shake vigorously.
He just needed to use Bodhi’s Dragon-Tusk punches to demolish the soul fires successfully in such circumstances. With this, favonovel.com would get the chance to harvest their lives.
Whoosh!
Alex then took notice that the bridge didn’t drag the two crabs onto it. Instead, it used immortal chains to restrict them. It would seem to be using this method to absorb the crabs’ life force and energy directly.
“Hey Clinton, it looks like Shelly is stronger than you!” Alex said.
“Ah, I’m getting old. I can’t compare to these youngsters.”
“But you’re still pretty strong, though.”
