Chapter 145 Taking Angelica And The Kids, Blaze



After contemplating for a while about his new unique skill, Alex started walking out of the Trial Tower.

On his way out, he passed by the stone monument's ranking and saw that it had changed.

At the very top, the name that was written became 'Zero'.

That means, Alex has just become the one that cleared the 2nd Tier trial with the highest points!

"It seems like choosing the Abyss difficulty was the right choice. I don't know how the Trial Tower scores its trialists though."

Alex fell silent for a moment before saying, "I wonder if anyone else can really complete the Abyss trial..."

Alex thought about that for a few seconds before shaking his head.

"Well, since I'm the first one who was able to do it, then I guess not."

Next, Alex opened his inventory and saw that his other reward, the [Random Treasure Chest] has also arrived.

"Since there's nothing else for me to do here, it's about time I leave this place."

Taking a step forward, Alex soon saw the outside of the Trial Tower.

Closing his eyes, Alex took a deep breath.

"Hais~ I'm back~."

When he opened his eyes again, Alex turned his head in a certain direction and saw Ferri and the Flame Lion already looking back at him.

Smiling, Alex walked towards them and said, "It took me a while to clear the trial. I hope you two didn't cause any problems, huh."

Hearing Alex's words, a serious expression appeared on Ferri's face and he barked,

"Woof!"

It seems like he's telling Alex that they didn't do anything while he's gone.

Alex smiled more and rubbed Ferri's furry neck.

After playing with Ferri for a while, Alex looked at the Flame Lion next and said, "I guess you also didn't cause any trouble."

Unlike Ferri's enthusiastic mood around Alex, the Flame Lion seems to still want to maintain the last bit of dignity that it has by acting calm all the time.

It gently bowed its head to Alex in response to his words.

Alex nodded and didn't say anything more to it.

After that, Alex decided to go back to Kupido Town.

"Well then, let's try to journey back to Kupido Town on foot this time."

"Ferri, I will be riding on your back again this time."

Hearing that, Ferri began to get excited.

"Woof! Woof!"

Alex patted its head that was lowered in front of him.

"Let's go. We have to go somewhere first before we really leave Nagels."

Saying that, Alex started moving in a certain direction.

Behind him, Ferri and the Flame Lion both stood up at the same time and followed Alex.

When Alex left, a lot of eyes that had been looking at him the moment he left the Trial Tower also headed back to their respective places.

Noticing that, Alex walked closer and patted her on the head.

"Sure, take your time preparing your things."

"I will wait for you and your brothers to come out here, okay?"

The gentle warmth that comes from Alex's hand being transmitted to her head calms down Angelica's worried heart.

Nodding, she replied, "Oum!"

Seeing that she calmed down, Alex said, "Go now, prepare your things so that we can leave this place."

When saying that, Alex's eyes can't help but fall into the black ground that's been covered with dirt and other garbage.

Honestly, Alex isn't unfamiliar to this kind of environment.

After all, his house stands just near the dumpsite and even the items in his house are from that place.

It's just that Alex has noticed that this place actually has a weird smell that Alex is positive that it's toxic.

So, Alex doesn't want the kids to stay in this place any more seconds.

They are still young and their growth might get affected by this kind of thing.

Anyway, sitting with Ferri and the Flame Lion, Alex doesn't have anything to do as Angelica is preparing their things.

Turning his head at the Flame Lion, Alex said, "Before I went inside the Trial Tower, I told you that I'll be giving you a name, right?"

The Flame Lion that has a frown on its face since it entered the slums looked at Alex.

To Alex's words, it nodded calmly as a response.

"Okay, then I guess it's about time I give you a name."

"Since I have nothing to do right now, let me think about it."

Alex propped his hand on his chin and started thinking of the Flame Lion's name.

"Hmm, lion, flame... fiery, pride, king... I wonder what name would fit..."

"Ah! I know!"

Finally, after thinking long (about 3 minutes) and hard (not really), Alex has come up with what he thinks is a suitable name for the Flame Lion.

Looking at the Flame Lion, Alex smiled and said, "From now on, you'll be called Blaze!"

Nodding his head, Alex felt very satisfied with his own naming sense.

Of course, it's only him who's satisfied.

Hearing its new name, the Flame Lion looked at Alex with a blank face.

But from the look on its eyes, you can see that it seems like it wants to tell Alex not to name him with a simple name like that.

However, 'Blaze' still decided not to do so.

It's not because he's scared that Alex will beat him up if he disagrees, yeah, it's not that for sure.

While Blaze is experiencing some complex emotion and Alex is feeling happy, Angelica and three other small kids came out of the house at this time.

Alex looked at them before focusing his eyes at Angelica, saying, "Are you guys done? Are you all ready to leave now?"

Since only Angelica is a little familiar to Alex, she replied, "Yes, Brother Zero."

Clap!

Alex clapped his hands and said, "Good! Then let's leave Nagels and head out to Kupido Town immediately!"
