Alex looked down and saw some kind of scarlet writing on the green slab of rock at the Shoraionji Temple’s entrance…
[Alex, it’s been a month. You have been missing for a month. None of us knows your situation, but I believe you are undoubtedly still alive. The neighborhood of the small temple is no longer safe. Some trialists appeared and targeted us, so we plan to return to our previous residence first. If you see this message, come and meet us quickly.]
In other words, this writing was left behind one month after Alex and the Mystic Maiden entered Shoraionji Temple, and it had been two years and eleven months since then. It was too dangerous for them to be targeted by the trialists at that time. So, favonovel.com wondered how they were now.
Anxiety overwhelmed Alex.
However, some other writing appeared on the green slab of rock.
[An entire year has passed. Are you still fine? I miss you so much! The trialists destroyed the cave and hunted us down for a whole year. Fortunately, we all are still alive. Those trialists who hunted us down are dead. We plan to head south. I heard that an ancient city with countless opportunities has appeared in the south. When I get a little stronger, I’ll definitely come back to demolish this ruined temple]
[Hubby, I’m here again. It’s been two and a half years since your disappearance, but I still couldn’t break open the door of this ruined temple. Many powerful corpse soldiers appeared in the ancient city in the south, and each of them had bone patterns other than red ones. Lowe Henderson is dead. He died because of me. I’m ashamed to face the Henderson family. Shirley is gravely injured and lost one hand. This place is no longer safe. The corpse soldiers of the ancient city have come out, so we plan to head east. If you still can come out and see these words, be extra careful… I’ll be waiting for you, Daya!]
There were three messages in total. The most recent one was written half a year ago. Then, there was no further message.
Those fonts were of the recent American fonts. They had also used phonetics and abbreviations in some critical areas. This was also the Internet habit of modern American society. Even if the trialists looked at these words, they would surely fail to understand them.
“Charming Henderson died!”
“Shirley Hancock lost a hand!”
Alex and the Mystic Maiden looked at each other for a while and could not help feeling heavy-hearted.
What on earth were corpse soldiers?
Just as the two were heavy-hearted and looking at each other, the small ruined temple behind suddenly glowed brilliantly as countless Buddhist texts and wonderful melodies appeared. Even light beams rushed out of the entire small temple.
Immediately afterward, Shoraionji Temple disappeared into thin air under Alex and the Mystic Maiden’s astonished gazes. Only an expanse of sandy rubble was left on the original site.
“This is…”
“He has probably gone into seclusion. Revealer Maha’s strength has somewhat declined. I think that it’s difficult for favonovel.com to suppress this Underworld alone. He most likely still has to rely on the Dairaionji Temple’s ability, so he’s just some sort of spokesman.” Alex agreed with the Mystic Maiden’s guess.
Just then, the two sensed something. It was as if something was staring at them.
“Is there someone nearby?”
The two immediately became vigilant. They soon discovered that bushes were swaying with surging Chi in front of the lush greenery. At least six people rushed out of the bushes at breakneck speed, besieging Alex and the Mystic Maiden at once.
Judging from the outfits, they were neither the Olympus Tribe people nor the trialists of Galaxy Nova. Everyone wore the same battle robes, distinguished by only black and white.
There were four black and two white outfits among the six people. From the differences in their actions, the ones in black outfits should be males, whereas those in white outfits were females. Underneath the battle robes, they were the same as them-they were all skeletons.
Whoosh!
Alex took out his Athena’s Golden Spear.
Meanwhile, the Mystic Maiden held the Arash’s Bow in favonovel.com hands.
The two faced the incoming enemy back-to-back.
“Wait a minute! Don’t attack!” Just as both parties were about to attack each other, someone in a white battle dress suddenly spoke. Unexpectedly, Alex found that favonovel.com could understand this person. It was a common ancient language belonging to the universe. When Alex received the legacy of the Ultimate Book of Medicine, favonovel.com had already learned it.
The Mystic Maiden also heard that, so favonovel.com coldly asked, “Who are you people?”
