Chapter 432: New Allies
The last three hours had been a blast for Alex.
Yumia was the same, surely, as she needed more time in the infirmary after having sex with Alexander Deathwill… She returned from the bathroom with a dazzling smile, then went asleep still wearing it.
Alex relieved a lot of his stress. In fact, it was as if his stamina bar had become a stress bar for his time with Yumia; she sucked — or perhaps better, erased — a significant part of it.
Alex’s mind was still clouded by Yumia’s happiness and softness, so he spent a lone time outside the castle, sitting on a bench like an old man. He then headed straight to the Deathwill Castle’s prison.
It was time to talk with the antagonists.

While Alex spent time with his family and boned the queen, the antagonists within his prison had enough room to talk with each other. The prison bars hadn’t stopped them from exchanging thoughts, as absolute confinement wasn’t Alex’s intention.
The man who wielded a bow and caused some damage to Schnee parted his lips, “Yasir could’ve won the battle… He could’ve saved two worlds… This… This fucker!”
He howled like a werewolf, his hands balled and ready to punch someone. But as he was archer and tended his hands, he hadn’t punched the wall. He remained rooted on the spot with his face twisted in a fury.
Yumi’s eyes gleamed in hatred, “He’s the traitor… We could’ve saved many lives… Now, we fight for a mere one resurrection each… And our chances have plummeted significantly.”
The antagonists had a simple plan to take down Alexander Deathwill and increase their chances of winning the battle. However, not only had Alexander caught them, but the reveal on the scene utterly destroyed morales of famous antagonists such as Yumi and the guy with a bow.
Their victory would give them a pass to Paradise, and they would be able to reunite with one dead person here. But that was only one, and some surely had different wishes than resurrecting back their beloveds.
Many were like Harvey, who used to have many sweethearts, so no one could easily pick one of them.
Many had friends who were outside the top 200 or weren’t players at all.
The memories from the past hit them heavily, and they trembled from indignation, locked behind prison bars.
“I can see some allying with Yasir, even though he had committed such a crime…” Yumi continued, then added, “I won’t be siding with him anymore…”
Clearly, she wanted to see Yasir dying, even if it cost her life. Yumi wasn’t someone who would blindly believe in some miracle. Her words caused a chilling silence as other antagonists thought about their future.
It was really hard to tell whether Yasir truly would lead them to Paradise. What if he protracted the war for his selfish goals, or did someone entirely differently? Some antagonists shivered as they realized that they had never understood Yasir.
At last, Alex entered the prison. He instantly gathered the attention of every antagonist, and if their red eyes were like lasers, Alex would’ve been riddled with dots. He smiled and took a seat between two rows of prison cells.
“I’ve received the antagonist sword from the goddess… And her powers have already sent shrines across the world. When we had worked together against Blackburn Blade, my weapon became stronger. This gives me hope that I will be able to save your life and keep them intact in the Avander World.
So I will be blunt; I want to kill Yasir and Blackburn Blade. Do you want to support me?” Alex asked without saying what would happen should they refuse him. He wouldn’t let them go, that was obvious, and if he were candid, the effects of his speech surely would be weaker.
It didn’t take long for a second voice to ring out in prison.
“I will support you,” said the tanned woman now Alex was too familiar with. He nodded at her, then glanced around. A few breaths later, more people decided to follow her lead, pledging allegiance to Alexander Deathwill.
It would take some time for everyone to change sides, for the antagonists had to give up on many things, mainly abandoning their chances of seeing their beloveds.
Alex was still surprised as he had expected a different kind of talk. Moreover, Yumi and her people hadn’t asked for anything. Did they believe he would support them with items and stuff, or they simply wanted to see Yasir gone?
Alex collected his thoughts, then stood up, “I must solve one issue known as Elias Deathwill. My power should bloom then, and I will be able to face Yasir and Blackburn Blade.”
The prison cells opened.
“Wait for me in your realm,” Alex told the antagonists who decided to side with him, and he chuckled at their bewildered faces as Alex simply opened cages and gave them back their powers.
He decided to trust them, so it was a show of trust. Was it naive? Perhaps, but Alex always followed his feelings, and his guts told him to do exactly that.

[You have entered the Dullahan Kingdom.]
“It’s dark here, too,” Alex glanced at the dark sky in a new realm, not so surprised by it… It felt just natural and obvious for Dullahans to live under such a sky, and Celia surely wouldn’t be able to live in the castle if it weren’t for her dullahan blood.
And now, as her father and Sara’s husband, as dullahans’ friend, Alex entered their realm to visit the Ancestral Grounds with his beloved.
Alex didn’t have enough time to comment on the scenery and the kingdom’s capital architecture as a beautiful woman embraced him from behind. Feeling her warmth and soon the fragrance, Alex knew who it was.
He missed her dearly.
“Let’s go straight to the Ancestral Grounds, Alex. I can’t stand this kingdom and their problems no more!” Sara acted like a frustrated student who wanted to run away from her parents, which was odd as she had never shown him that on Earth.
As a player, Sara had to log out. But she surely hid some of her problems from Alex since he couldn’t enter the dullahan kingdom.
But now that he could, she was ready to spill all for him.
