Chapter 1614 Chapter 1435: Sleeping Beauty

"How strange..."

Alex circled the woman and couldn't recall with any similar incidents after racking his brain.

After some hard thinking, Alex resolutely gave up on the idea of wasting anymore of his brain cells. He lifted his head and gazed at everyone.

"Apologies my lord."

Upon hearing Alex's question, two among his group pondered for a few moments before shaking their heads. They couldn't be blamed. Even though they more or less knew the secrets on this continent, this place was outside their territory, so it wasn't surprising that they didn't know any of them. In an instant, everyone was at a loss for words. Of course, they knew that the power in the mysterious woman was amazing. However, the fact that she didn't have a spirit was the strangest phenomenon of all.

They used their spiritual powers to analyze her body, but were shocked to discover that there wasn't even a single remnant of spirit, not to mention an entire spirit. This was almost impossible because living beings could only grow with the fusion of the spirit and flesh. Even if one were dead, one's spirit would leave a mark on one's corpse. That was also why the Dali Kingdom was able to use undead spells to reawaken the dead and imprison their spirits inside their bodies. But now, this corpse seemed to be completely separated from its spirit. She didn't look like a living being, but more like a robot made to simulate humans. According to Erie's analysis, it seemed like any spirits could enter and successfully take control of this body.

From a certain aspect, this body had a complete lack of integrity and would refuse no one...

"What a headache..."

"What a headache..."

Alex couldn't help but let out a sigh at this fruitless result. If it weren't for time-constraints, he would have returned to where the woman was discovered to search for clues.

"Marybeth, get Zola here. Ask him if he knows who that woman is.""

Facing Maggie's criticism, Marybeth spread her arms apart with a helpless expression. It was apparent that even though Marybeth also didn't believe Zola's words too much, she conveyed his 'gibberish' to everyone in full detail. It was due to this reason that Alex's group received new information about this woman.

"According to Zola, that woman seems to have appeared in one of the tribe territories a dozen years ago. The tribe found a white... crystal and discovered a human inside it. Back then, she was just a child. But as days passed, she grew larger inside the crystal and became what she is today. Of course, in their legend, this woman is possibly a savior of their tribe or something... though there isn't any meaning behind it now."

[This girl is definitely important as for what is her identity I'm still clueless about.) Silveria seemed frustrated not being able to come up with an answer.

The others were racking their brains as well, trying to find an answer and it happened.

"Ooo---!!"

At that moment, an emergency siren sounded and threw everyone into confusion. Even though they set up security measures in the surroundings when setting camp, that was more like going through the motions. After all, there weren't any worthy enemies in this plain. With Marybeth around, Alex refused to believe that any creature would break through the defenses and stirr trouble with him. Due to this reason, the group was taken aback when they heard the siren. They left the tent immediately and headed to where the security was breached.

Boom!

The instant they stepped out of the tent, they heard a massive explosion and spotted a fierce battle ahead. The soldiers who were guarding the periphery were battling against a shadowy figure. But what surprised Alex was that the soldiers didn't have the upper hand.

That's right. Even though the strength of these soldiers wasn't as powerful as his Elites, they weren't weaklings either. But even so, they failed to resist the intruder's attack. He witnessed a fully-armored swordsman raising his sword and flourishing it at the enemy in a stunning blade ray. But facing that attack, the shadowy figure turned around swiftly and lashed out a long whip to strike the soldier away. Looking at this scene, Alex narrowed his eyes. At the next moment, he dashed ahead in a string of

afterimages. Awhite sword appeared in his hand as he aimed straight at the target!

As soon as Alex launched his attack, the shadowy figure seemed to detect his presence. He heard the lash of the whip and before he knew it, a long whip had emerged in front of him. The seemingly-conscious whip blocked off his retreat like a deadly viper. However, Alex wasn't flustered at all. Instead, the sword in his hand shook and at the next moment, the sky was filled with sparkling stars that clashed with the fluttering shadowy whip head-on.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The instant their attacks met, they swayed and took half a step back. At that moment, he heaved a long sigh of relief. He withdrew his sword and gazed helplessly at the smiley young lady ahead, clad entirely in a black cloak. It was an acquaintance.
