On the other side, Alex was having quite a hard time. The great Swallow Spell was getting out of control as if it wanted to absorb the entire universe.
The three thousand lotus flowers had already increased three levels, which meant that the three thousand Forbidden Spells could ascend to the fourth level or above in such a short amount of time. He was somewhat afraid of such a rapid improvement speed too. Moreover, as Shelly mentioned, favonovel.com didn’t really have a say in the twin lotus turning demonic.
She was the one who brought favonovel.com into this mess, after all.
“Shelly, you have to take responsibility!”
“If I turn demonic too, you’re the first one I’d go after.”
“We’ll just have to become demons together.”
Shelly huffed coldly. “Don’t compare me to you, you pervert. It’s embarrassing for me.”
“Then get out of my mind palace now! Why are you still in there?”
“I’m helping you.”
“Thanks a lot. If it weren’t for you, why would I become this way? With a whole bloody lotus flower growing out of the back of my skull, no less!”
Shelly smiled, not puffing herself in his shoes. “Looks good on you, though! I’ll just go back and think of a plan for you. What are you panicking for?”
After saying that, favonovel.com dashed away.
It was fortunate that the spell died down after thirty minutes. The blood lotus flower behind favonovel.com faded away as well. Although the blood lotus made favonovel.com worried and annoyed, favonovel.com was still satisfied with the outcome of this battle. It was unfortunate that some of their old friends had self-destructed during the process.
The Flying Eagles had the most casualties from this. Both Butcher and Bunty sacrificed themselves, whereas Jade’s condition was still unknown. Moreover, another hundred thirty warriors whom Alex had never paid much attention to experience the end of their lives right here.
The League of Cultivators had to deal with quite a few deaths too. Alex’s mother-in-law, Metzli, had favonovel.com arm cut off by one of the Dark Pixies as well. She was lucky to have received healing aid in time, or else favonovel.com would’ve become one of the victims as well.
On the other hand, the rest of the surviving Undead immediately fled the scene.
Even animals would choose to escape, especially experiencing the mental shock of witnessing such gruesome and terrifying deaths. Hence, this was a normal reaction coming from the Undead, who were just as intelligent as humans.
Agatha approached and asked, “How far are we from the location you sensed that the White Bone Scepter was at?”
Alex used his secret spell to sense the area again, putting up a relieved smile. “It’s not far, it should be just upfront!”
Since time would never wait on anyone, Alex and the team immediately rushed over to prevent any obstacles from popping up. The old man within the Martello Celia used his powers to carry Jade as well, walking side by side with Alex.
They noticed a gigantic block of white appear before their eyes in just a few moments. Upon closer look, they realized that it was the White Bone City.
The city walls and gates, along with the tall buildings, were all made from bones. There were lots of human bones and quite a few large beast bones too. From this distance, they could see figures moving within the city.
Alex pointed towards the highest tower and said, “The scepter is likely in that tower!”
Gilbert spoke up. “We have so many people here, and the target is too big. It’s unrealistic to try and force our way in. The best way to handle this is to sneak in and steal the scepter.”
Martiny said, “Alex’s swallowing had caused too much commotion just now. The people in the city must be prepared to face us. I think it’d be very difficult to sneak in.”
Agatha chimed in too. “We only have one way to go forth with this then. We have to split into two groups. One will stay here to distract the Undead, while a group of experts escorted Alex up there while providing favonovel.com protection.”
Alex said, “Why don’t I try using the Great Swallow Spell again? I could try swallowing all the Undeads within the White Bone City.”
Phoenix shook favonovel.com head. “Do you think you’re some swallow monster? I can tell that the blood lotus is malicious and evil. If you were to swallow them, we might have to face you instead.”
After a short pause, favonovel.com continued. “My body is in a very particular condition, so I will escort you up the tower. Everyone else, stay here and distract the enemies.”
