Chapter 179: Frozen Coffin

If he stays here, he knows he will only live like a zombie. Time may make him accept this situation, but he doesn't want it.

William refused to accept this as the truth, even though he knew it was just denial. He preferred to live this way.

"This path may lead to even more regret. Are you sure?

I will be straight with you; going with me is not free. You need to assist me in my mission and swear your loyalty to me. In exchange, I will help you find her soul," Alex replied.

It was not just an empty promise; he genuinely wanted to find out the truth about the soul. It wasn't his priority, but at some point in his life, he knew he would do it. This was not a problem for William as long as he followed him; it was just a matter of time before Alex turned him into a vampire.

It may not be a pure vampire, but it would still be enough for William to become ageless.

Other than his true loved ones, like his sister and mother, Alex would wait until he finished the game he had planned in his mind before even considering changing to a full-blooded vampire.

The game would allow him to check their real nature. Alex believed a person's personality is built by experience and the situation they are in, but a person's real nature will never change.

After agreeing to his request, Alex took out a new contract for him to sign. This one ensured he would stay loyal to Alex in exchange for Alex's help on his quest.

William didn't hesitate to seal the deal. He then asked for Roxy's body.

Alex flicked his hand, and a coffin that looked like it was made from marble appeared on the floor, with Roxy's body lying inside, encased in solid ice.

It didn't take long for Alex to build this; he had already prepared many chemicals to freeze a specimen inside the dungeon. In case he needs it.

As for the coffin, he made it in the forest using wood there; the marble finish was something like a coating to ensure the coffin could hold the water before he froze it.

Touching over the clear ice, seeing Roxy's face filled with a smile made William's heart thug. "Why are you smiling like that? Are you that happy leaving me alone?"

"This is a special ice. As long as she is inside it, there will be no change in her appearance.

I don't know what kind of tradition you have here, but if you want to burn her body, tell me.

You will need a special way to remove the ice; a normal fire won't do it," Alex said.

Hearing that Roxy's body could be preserved forever made William feel relieved. "Thank you, Alex. No, I don't want to do anything like that."

William hesitated for a moment, then asked Alex if he could have the item he used to hold Roxy before.

Alex didn't mind since William was not his people. He gave him the storage cube and a method to start cultivating.

Time passed on.

In the chariot flying high near the sentinel mansion, Alice was staying with the king.

"Finally, after all these years, we can start our plan," the king said with excitement.

"Yes. It's time to start," Alice replied coldly.

The king didn't feel weird since that is how Alice usually talked. "Where is your sister? She won't join us?"

"There are some problems on my side, so I need to send her to take care of it. But don't worry, everything is taken care of."

"If you say so. Let's start then."

Alice nodded, then started contacting a few people.

In the dark of night, five pillars of light rose to the sky and then started connecting to each other, creating a circular link.

As Alice saw what happened, she asked, "Since we've already come this far, can you tell me where you got your power?"

It was their plan to make the king the villain. She also provided him with some drugs to make the king stronger. But the power the king showcased now was beyond her imagination.

The king raised his palm, a dark aura starting to come out of it, followed by a creepy laugh. "Kekeke, this is thanks to you. After I drank the elixir you gave me, I realized my true power!

I always wondered how the sentinel could be so strong and stay immortal all this time.

Finally, I got the answer. Our race has this power sleeping within them. The sentinel knew this but just hid it from us!"

Alice felt even more confused hearing this. She knew more about the Felidaens than the king. Felidae does have power, but it's a shadow glyph, and based on her knowledge, it's nothing like this.

Different from Amu, Freya shared information about the progenitor, the universe, and the war with their descendants. She did this so they would know where they came from and the reason why they are in this place now.

"I still don't understand. Do you mean every Felidaen has this power?"

The king laughed loudly. The dark aura surrounding him became even more intense, and both his hands started to turn into skeletons while his tail moved around energetically.

"This is my power, and in fact, I can do even more. I have been keeping this as a surprise for you."

Boom!

Dark energy exploded from the king's body, piercing through the sky and affecting the golden light.

In front of Alice's eyes, the king's whole body changed into a skeleton, giving her a sense of dread and making her want to leave the chariot.

The golden light was a teleportation circle created by Alice by combining a few fairy abilities. She also took many countermeasures to hide any fairy dust marks from the ability.

This is why Aimu didn't realize the presence of this golden light.

At this moment, Aimu was in the central area of the secret realm, where the big tree where Alex appeared.

He was now double-checking everything, making sure it would run smoothly since he would send out multiple people at once. At this moment, the sky at the tree suddenly changed, turning red.

This made Amu's eyes flicker with rage. Sёarᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
