Chapter 500 Consequences
'If even half of this army entered the Human Continent, they could burn everything to the ground in less than a year,' Alex thought as he saw gathered soldiers covering the ground and sky for as far as eyes could see.
Alex could see countless battleships and flying demonic beasts suspended in the murky, dark sky, stretching as far as his eyes could see and casting ominous shadows over the land.
Below, armored soldiers stood in impeccably straight lines on the barren land, their sheer numbers creating an unending sea of darkness. Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com
'I don't have the luxury to waste time,' Alex thought in panic as he began to look around in search of his target, hoping he was not too late.
'I am not missing this chance,' Alex thought as he located Leviathan, standing in the sky before a portal, ready to step inside.
Alex used the Temporal Dilation Aura skill at maximum capacity without a moment's delay, knowing this was his last chance and being a step too late was not an option.
In an instant, twenty-five hard-earned levels were gone, and for Alex, the world came to a near-complete halt. Every noise from the roaring of demons and the flickering of twisting space from the massive gateway behind him went silent, while Leviathan, who was one step inside the portal, also slowed down to a near halt.
It was a surreal experience, one that stunned Alex so much that he forgot to even move when he used it the first time, but with his mind and body occupied with the only goal of reaching the chained entity, he did not even pay attention to the frozen surroundings this time.
Alex crossed the distance in a single step, appearing a few feet away from Leviathan and inches away from the chained-winged entity.
'It would be nice if he is dragged with me to the domain,' Alex thought as he clipped his hand around the winged entity's neck, his fingers tightening into a firm grip.
A mear moment later, violet runes began to manifest intricately, weaving together to create a large magic circle.
Leviathan, who was about to vanish into the portal, stopped and took a quick step back, with oceanic blue eyes stopping at the ancient runes weaving together to create the massive circle.
"I forgot to tell you, but the Demon Continent is—------ " Leviathan began to speak with a smirk, likely planning to explain how foolish it was and whatnot, but he stopped like he had seen a ghost.
The creature had four arms, all ending in clawed webbed hands, while its towering physique was covered in deep onyx armor, and as much as he appeared different, Alex knew instinctively that he was Leviathan.
The winged entity was gone, so the mission was a success, but happiness was the last thought that crossed his mind because he realized that he had messed up big time, and it was going to cost him dearly.
There were barely a few seconds left before the potion effects wore off, and Alex didn't see any way of escaping from the twisted monstrosity before him.
The sheer pondered of getting his existence erased, his link to the Ancient world cut off, made pure fear grip his mind, but he also realized that Zero could help him.
[Protection wish rejected]
[Player Hidden One Avatar is not in danger of getting erased]
'Is this bastard joking with me?' Alex thought, seeing his protection wish getting rejected.
Leviathan, who was crushing his neck with all his strength, suddenly let go of it, with his eyes going dull for a moment, and while Alex noticed it, he couldn't care less about it in his current situation.
'My king, I take full responsibility for my failure,' Leviathan said after the enraged voice of Ahrimon led him back to his senses.
'Erase all of his skills, strip him of his armor and weapons, erase the soul mark on him, seal away his continental teleportation skill, and then place a mark of death on him, before throwing him on the closest island,' Ahrimon's voice sounded in his mind before the connection was cut off.
'My king, My king, My king,' Leviathan repeated the words, yet they fell on deaf ears, and the realization of not being acknowledged by his master tore his very being.
'I was so close to perfectly executing my orders, yet this hateful vermin ruined it all,'
'It is all his fault,' Leviathan thought, rage filling his mind, yet his king's orders were as clear as day in his mind.
