Luna was weak, and she knew that as well.
But she never asked Alex to make her stronger, even though she knew that just a word from her was enough to make Alex do it.
Alex cared for her - that was enough reason for Alex to make her powerful enough to protect herself in this world.
Luna, however, didn't want that.
She didn't want to ask for a power boost from Alex.
Stay connected with empire
That would make it seem like she wanted power from Alex, but she never really desired power; she only wanted Alex.
'I will be fine.'
That's what she thought.
She thought that she would be fine in any situation; she could talk her way out or fool her way out in any situation.
But that misconception of hers shattered as soon as she felt the pressure of four different beings crashing down on Alex.
Those were not even aimed at her, yet she felt her body slowly tearing apart.
She was in pain—a lot of pain—but she just kept quiet.
She felt like she might die the next second, but she still remained silent.
She knew that she just had to ask Alex to help her, but looking at Alex's expression, she didn't.
The look on Alex's face was enough to stop her.
It was as if he was desperately looking for something.
She knew what it was, and she knew why Alex was behaving like that.
'Alice and Ann are not here.'
It broke her heart when she saw Alex completely ignore her, but she still remained still.
She was not showing any emotion or expression of discomfort, or at least she tried not to.
Tears were slowly pooling up in her watery pink eyes, but she held them in.
However, just as she felt like it was her end and she might die, she saw Alex looking at her.
The way Alex looked at her made her smile gently at him.
She couldn't speak right now; it was hard to stand straight, let alone speak.
So, she just did what she could to let Alex know that he's not at fault here.
'Took you long enough...'
Luna muttered inwardly with a smile.
She could tell that he was finally back to normal, and she could tell that he was blaming himself.
She knew that Alex was strong, but that didn't mean that he was invincible.
She realized that the moment she felt the pressure from the four beings, their pressure was stronger than Alex's.
However, her body froze, and her eyes widened.
Her thoughts came to a halt the next instant as she heard a cracking sound.
*Crack*
But that was not all.
The crack started to widen.
*Crack**Crack**Crack*....
Until finally, it shattered.
*Shatter*
Luna's body jerked involuntarily; that was all. Her body wasn't even moving for her to be able to do anything else.
Her eyes, however, were fixed on the being standing right in front of her.
Her heartbeats, which were calming down, started to elevate again.
Just looking at the person in front of her was enough to make her realize that it was not something the four from before could stand a chance against.
The being was much more than any of the four from before could ever hope to achieve.
Luna, frozen on her spot, was now hyperventilating.
She couldn't think straight.
Yet, what worried her most was not her situation.
'Will Alex be able to survive this person....?'
This was the sole thought running through her head on repeat.
She could feel the heat of the surroundings burning her skin slowly; the soles of her feet were melting as they came into contact with the remnants of the previous destruction.
Yet all she thought was about Alex.
But just as her mind was about to turn into a mush because of all the pressure and hyperfunctioning, a gentle wave passed through her as she heard a voice.
"I am sorry for the initial pressure.
It has been a long time since I came in contact with a being whose power is lower than legendary rank, so I forgot to lower the mana pressure."
The voice sounded ancient and mighty—one that could incite awe from anyone who heard it—washing away all the fear and panic Luna felt an instant ago.
The image of the being in front of her finally registered in her mind.
