Chapter 506 Reuniting with Ricin

The encounter with the nameless lady and the two Elemental Rulers was a bit chaotic, but it was still better than what Alex had previously planned.

Alex had planned to corner one of the clan elders when he came for him, and if they could agree to a deal, then great but otherwise, he planned to kill him and hope that the remaining elder would be sensible enough to give him an entry spot.

In this entire process, Alex might need to get his hands dirty by killing more than just a single individual and that was something he wanted to avoid.

While in his second life, he had killed others, it had never been solely for his own benefit and even those he killed were the scum of society, such as the demonic cult members and actual demons.

Alex could comfort himself by thinking that it was self-defense or that the Cult elders were not really good individuals, as they were waging war for power.

But he knew that the first was a lie because he was initiating a conflict to take something that belonged to the other party, and while the other reasoning was correct, it was not wrong because that's how life worked in the ancient world.

If one of the elders was a tyrant trying to force his rulership on others, then Alex could think he was doing the right thing, but in the current circumstances where both elders were equally supported by their people, he knew better than to believe such a fallacy.

So the best Alex could reason was that he would give them a chance and while if their leader was stubborn, then many could still die, but that was an inevitable outcome if he was going to get an entry spot in the ancestral realm.

The entry into the realm held paramount importance for Alex, as his strength was crucial to many matters at hand and he could not afford to sit around, driven by a sense that he was not completely right in his actions.

However, now things had changed, as Alex had what he wanted and knew things were more complicated than he previously believed.Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

So, while he did not plan to get involved with the Morvoren clan's internal conflict if the two clan elders tried to stop him, then he would not hesitate to put them to rest.

After acquiring the key, Alex informed his guardians about it, because if Leviathan was watching, what was the point of hiding it, and as he expected, their reaction was as he expected it to be.

The guardian Alex knew would have forced him to not enter the ancestral realm at any cost in his condition, but they agreed as if they knew he possessed the cure.

Alex had his doubts from the start, as the very nature of the quest that Lady Enigma gave prohibited him from using the potion to break free of the curse, and instead, it forced him to search for the entrance portal.

Now, after almost two weeks, and with his guardians not discovering the island despite all the info he shared, he was certain they knew about the entire situation, and their response just proved him right.

Alex concluded that they wanted him to get a taste of what it was like to deal with situations independently, fully aware that any mistake would lead to facing their consequences with no elder being present to save him.

Alex had no issue with it.

There was no further development in the following days, and the day of the realm opening was drawing closer and closer. Just three days before the big day, Alex received truly good news that he had been waiting to hear for months.

This ethereal essence emanated from the end of his body, casting him in a ghostly gray aura tinged with ominous violet hues.

"Oo boy, you look amazing," Alex uttered as he welcomed the towering beast into his embrace.

"SSHHHRRRIIIKKKKKK"

Alex reached out, tracing the white and black features on Ricin's neck to confirm that the white ones did not deform to the touch as he was expecting.

But he couldn't shake off the feeling that they were somehow different and a simple appraisal answered his question.
