Chapter 180: I will show you the difference between us

It wasn’t just Dollar killing others.

That natural disaster devoured forest fairies alive, murdering them in the worst ways possible. Some forest fairies had their heads squashed by the falling debris. Some simply had their legs swallowed by the earth whirlpool, having only up from their torso free. Their hands flailed in search of help as they hoped for someone to save them.

Some people literally drowned in the moving earth. Their deaths kept escalating as the whole phenomenon increased its size one by one.

It was as if the whole capital soon would turn into a dungeon.

Alex looked up, finding the forest fairy with ease. She stood with her hands clenching the balcony’s rails tightly. Her fairy wings flapped behind her as she started channeling her mana through her body.

Her face was scrunched with disgust and hatred, her eyes locked on the laughing villain, “Villain… You will pay the price… I will make you regret your choice!”

After the queen’s ears became longer, her whole royal mood heightened. She looked like the forest fairies’ unquestionable authority, her slim hand summoning an army of forest monsters.

She used the same skill as Remia did against the ghoul. But in her case, the queen could use the whole forest as her ally.

Around ninety percent of Tree Houses moved. Of course, their content, such as furniture and other private stuff, disappeared into a unique forest pocket. After their forms emptied, they became the forest guardians.

Yumia ordered them to help all her subjects. She then called forth her personal guardians; three giant tree monsters were like three big brothers to Remia’s big boi.

Their whole equipment was made out of wood. They had thick armors, weapons, and even veins moving around their forms like snakes for additional power and versatility.

Alex didn’t hover his eyes on Remia’s mother, even though she had a peculiar charm around herself. He couldn’t with many people dying; their cries had been reaching his ears ever since the disaster.

He inhaled deeply, then let out his feelings, “VILLAIN!”

His anger swept through the forest capital, momentarily silencing the scene. The phenomenon stopped for a second, the forest fairies’ screams halted, and even the queen shifted her eyes to Alex.

His hatred toward Villain matched hers, even though Alex was a foreigner! She couldn’t fathom what exactly went through Alex’s heart to reach such emotions.

Was he really just that angered because her subject’s death would hurt Remia’s heart and hers, too?

Or was there more to his heart?

Although Yumia suddenly got too interested in a young man, she couldn’t satiate her curiosity. Her eyes immediately retracted to her people, her three strongest tree giants unleashing their skills at Dollar.

Surprisingly, Dollar avoided them all.

Alex looked at Stella, “I’m going.”

Stella nodded, “Me too.”

After wrapping her hands around Alex’s back, Stella’s wings sprouted from her back. She flapped those on her own, her wind magic becoming the secondary engine! Stella darted out of the room with these two combined, carrying Alex straight to the villain.

Alex uttered, “You will heal the forest fairies. Take care of them, please. I think you can give enough boost to their strength to allow them to leave the earth whirlpool on their own…

I will help the queen take care of the villain!” Alex ordered.

Stella had no problems with that, her lips parting slightly, “Ok.”

She wasn’t worried about him because he would work with the queen. She also would keep an eye on his stats. And even better, Stella would never miss Alex’s health, mana, and stamina points because they were in a party!

After dropping him down, Stella rose to the sky. She spread her wings, blocking the sun… But as she stopped sunrays from falling onto the scene, Stella apologized to everyone with something better and much warmer.

Her holy skills rained on everyone. Their bodies lit up in golden light, their heart turning hotter. They felt so much energy and new power that they had enough leverage to lift their heads to stare at one of their saviors.

Alex’s Goddess became Goddess in many forest fairies’ hearts.

At the same time, Remia had been staring at the catastrophe from her balcony. Remia could only use her abilities to help people in need in her current state. She couldn’t fight and prevent Dollar from killing others.

Luckily enough, her mother and Alex had already engaged in the combat with him.

However, as Remia looked quite dejected, she inwardly had a little hope. Out of all fairies, she had a peculiar skill.

Berserker.

If Dollar had friends or some monsters came out from the shadows, Remia would intoxicate the forest with the Berserker power, bringing out more of their ability.

That was a power she would only use if necessary, though.

As Remia got stronger, her abilities became sharper. And if she used the Berserker on such a grand scale, Remia wasn’t sure whether she would be able to stop the maddened nature.

“It’s you, cat!” Dollar shouted as he also heard Alex’s voice.

He couldn’t miss him as Alex’s feelings had swept through everyone. He glared in Alex’s direction, surprised to see Alex’s handsome looks.

He chuckled, “Must be much easier to swoon girls now, right? Have you boned that princess and her mother already? The way she looks at you… I’ve to say, you know how to gather girls’ attention.”

Alex took out his two swords, “It seems you haven’t changed. I thought you would already have a few gold diggers around you.”

Dollar snickered after looking at Alex’s level, “Both of us changed.”

He threw his hand into his pocket, taking out many gold coins. Those were fake coins, as Dollar’s heart would bleed if he were to use the real money in the battle. He spread them around himself and Alex while still avoiding Yumia’s assails.

Those coins let out bright golden light, “I got more ways to play around with your vision.”

He then let the light gather around his sword, hurling it into Alex’s eyes. Even though the source of this light stemmed from coins and Dollar’s swords, the ray was hot and painful, wounding Alex’s eyes.

With his eyes closed, Alex nodded, “Yes, we’ve changed… I will show you the difference between us now.”

He didn’t let Dollar’s power hurt him.

[You have cast Stella’s Heal on yourself.]

Alex opened his eyes, which for a moment, shone goldenly.
