Chapter 986 An Idea TO Bring Back The Whole Haul

Everyone's head turned to him as curiosity took hold of their minds.

The sudden attention made Winston gulp nervously, but he quickly pushed aside that feeling.

"I think if we can strike at the wall right here," he said, pointing to a spot between some crystals, "We can break through. It feels hollow on the other side, so there might be a split tunnel there."

Alex looked at him with narrowing eyes.

"Did your dwarven instincts tell you that?"

Winston shrugged, unsure what made him so certain about his deduction, either.

"Then I'll trust your word for it," Alex said, walking to the spot Winston had pointed at.

"Right here?" he asked, double-checking, to which Winston simply nodded.

Bringing his arm back, Alexander changed his fist into his demonic body's fist, which could barely be perceived under the dim lighting, and punched at the wall with ferocity.

A deafening boom echoed through the tunnel, as dust and gravel were kicked in every direction, forcing everyone to cover their faces from the flying debris.

But, just as the boy had said, the wall crumbled, and behind it appeared a small cave, in which many more of these white crystals glistened in the firelight now shining on them.

Whispers of awe at the sight of such beauty echoed in the tunnel, and Alex grinned wide.

"What a haul!" he exclaimed, turning to look at Winston.

"Nice catch, man. What about the other side?" he asked, pointing to the opposite tunnel wall.

Winston shook his head no.

"I can't sense the same thing on that side. I think that one is just a plain wall. Maybe there are crystals inside the bedrock, but I can't tell for sure. We would have to dig."

But as he had this thought, he realized something.

'Wait... I have a teleporter of my own,' he realized, his eyes going wide.

Reaching inside his mind, he manifested inside his soul space, interrupting a loud conversation between Paimon and Asmodeus.

"Why would you get to spend more time near the soul than us?!" Paimon howled at the tall demon.

"Because I require more power to stay in peak condition than you, vixen!" Asmodeus seethed back.

"Hah! Who cares about your peak condition, you talking portal gate?!" the succubus mocked, making Asmodeus' black skin take a darker tone.

"What did you call me, you lesser slut?!" he growled, his hands lighting up with black flames.

"Alright, knock it off, you two!" Alex interrupted them.

"Master!" Paimon immediately cooed.

She ran at him, trying to lunge into an embrace, but with a snap of his fingers, Asmodeus made her reappear where she started, making her lunge into the ground.

She growled at the tall demon, who smirked at her before looking at their host.

"What can we do for you today, Master Astaroth?" the demon asked, playing the deference card.

"Don't mock my intelligence, demon. I know you still hate me. Plus, my name is Alexander, not Astaroth. Astaroth is my game name. We are not inside New Eden." Alex spat back, giving him a stern look.

Asmodeus's eyebrow twitched, but he kept a smiling face, if somewhat less sincere.

"Still. There must be a reason for you to come here in the flesh, so to speak. You could have talked to us mentally, but you came here directly. What is it you want to ask of us?" Asmodeus asked.

Alexander grinned, walking up to him directly.

"Not us. Just you. I need to know something about your powers, and I don't have time for riddles and playing games."

"Huh?"
