Chapter 324 If I am really the one

Chapter 324 If I am really the one

?It took Haylee a whole minute to digest Alec's words. He gazed at the human from head to toe again and again. At first, Kyle's presence itself was an anomaly for him, and now Alec as well.

"How the hell do you know about Odiak?"

Alec jolted when Haylee's sharp eyes narrowed at him.

"I .."

He opened his mouth but was at a loss for how to explain himself. His eyes flashed with conflicted emotions as he looked back and forth between the glowing screen and Haylee's face.

Inside his mind, Alec cursed at the system, but it remained eerily silent. However, fortunately, before he could have a mental breakdown under Haylee's sharp eyes. The system screen flashed again.

Alec's eyes widened when the system asked him to tell the boar about its presence.

Opposite him, Haylee's eyes flashed with skepticism as he observed Alec's strange behavior. For some reason, the human was just staring into the air.

Alec sucked in a deep breath and spilled everything. He began by recounting the time when he first received the system and how it started assigning him missions.

He didn't go into many details, but while he was talking, Haylee fell silent. The boar listened attentively from start to finish.

Once Alec finished, Haylee let out a big sigh. He moved his paw and massaged his head. From Alec's explanation, he immediately understood the origin of Odiak aura within the human body.

It was Soul, the first and last divine artifact constructed by Odiak.

'So, from the start Odiak consciousness chose Alec?'

Haylee's mind wandered as he processed the information. He knew that Odiak had left a part of his consciousness behind, but he never expected the dwarf to also leave behind the divine artifact. After all, divine artifacts, just as their name suggests, are incredibly precious and rare. Not many have the ability to create them.

Suddenly, Haylee thought about the time he told Kyle about James and Odiak, and a dry smile appeared on his face.

Haylee let out a chuckle.

"Consuming the divine essence is not an easy task. I believe there is something special within his body."

Alec's eyes narrowed in contemplation. He remembered when he discovered Kyle's talent in the tower, but now he wasn't so sure. If Kyle could consume the divine essence, did that mean his talent was even greater than Alec had imagined?

'Ah... what am I thinking? Does talent even matter now? I believe I have more important things to focus on.'

He gazed at the clear sky. The weight on his shoulder increased. At first, he wanted to save the innocent people from the destruction he witnessed through the system but now what? With the new knowledge Haylee shared, he realized things were not as simple as they seemed.

If Odiak and James were truly successful in defeating the Shadow General then why haven't they returned? And why would the system choose him if the planet is already safe?

While Alec was lost in his thoughts, Haylee spread out his wings with a faint smile.

"I'll come see you later. I should go check on Kyle. Maybe he's cursing me right now?"

Alec watched as Haylee soared into the sky and disappeared from his sight. With a sigh, Alec gazed at the sword hanging on his waist.

He clutched it tightly with a sigh.

"I wonder if I am really the one...? Everything is so confusing."

He shook his head and jumped on his feet. With a last glance at the system status window, Alec ran off toward the nearest treasure island. After all, he needs to get stronger. So, much so that he could fight against the danger lurking outside the planet.

A faint smile appeared on his face when he thought about his friends.

"I believe I won't be alone."

But after he climbed the stairway and stood opposite the castle gate, his smile stiffened.

Alec's eyes twitched as he scanned the castle gate, where a prominent and unmistakable warning was displayed.

"Caution; Don't enter the little phoenix took everything."
