Alex stood still on the ghost shark, taken aback by her words.
âSheâs calling me her darling now.â
âIs this Holy Maiden still sane? Did she bump her head or something?â
âThatâs not her style, though?!â
Seeing the two peacocks closing up on Ynes, he took a leap and dropped right in front of her. Standing
on the ocean water, he pointed the Golden Spear at the peacocks and turned to Ynes. âGet on the
shark first.â
Ynes didnât dare to get up since it was indeed an Undead beast. Its appearance was just way too ugly.
The two peacocks turned pale once again.
âWow. Real great! As a human, youâre hanging out with those Undead beasts. You prick! Youâre a one
in a million traitor! A parasite!â a peacock shouted.
âIâm not in the mood to debate with you. Iâd just like to use your bodies to sharpen my tool.â Alex said,
then ordered the shark, âSharkie, protect this shameless brat! And help me out if I canât defeat them.â
Ynes was extremely annoyed, never expecting Alex to call her a shameless brat. âWhat a jerk! I only
ended like this because of youâ¦â
She had been experiencing the worst treatment in Western Ridge for the past few days. She had to
suffer things she never had to before. She just couldnât accept the fact that she was insulted out of the
blue.
Everyone else was calling her an unloyal wh*re who cheated on her own fiancé.
She had tried explaining with all her might, but no one wanted to listen. In the end, she decided to just
go with it, telling everyone that Alex was her childhood friend. She also said that they had decided to
marry each other long before Donovan proposed to her. In the end, Donovan had to force the Yorkshire
Palace into complying. Hence, her clan chickened out, arranging her marriage with the Sun Shrine and
sacrificing her love life.
However, wanting to fight for her love, she was unwilling to obey her clan. She wouldnât marry anyone
else but Alex. She didnât care if she died from this. It didnât matter as long as she could be with Alex in
the afterlife.
By employing this messy story, several people actually showed their sympathy and commended her
courage. Those who longed for love or youths madly in love empathized with her as well. All of them
started supporting Ynes, and their attitudes towards her completely changed.
Hence, it was unsurprising that she called Alex her darling when she saw him.
Just as she was about to talk back, Alex had already lunged towards the two Immortal peacocks
without hesitation.
This was precisely what the two peacocks wanted. âYouâre Alex Rockefeller, right? You worked with the
Undead to kill our sacred nun and ate our peopleâs flesh! Such audacity, yet you still dare to challenge
us out of spite? Youâre asking for it at this point!â
The peacock grabbed a sword. The colorful and shiny sword looked like a feather. It was actually made
out of real peacock feathers, where every Peacock tribe member had one. Using part of their body and
soul, these swords were indeed treasures.
Along with the increase in their powers, the quality of the sword would increase as well. It was a
powerful weapon all in all.
Clank!
The Golden Spear clashed with the sword.
Alex felt a strong force coming from it. It almost sent his spear flying out of his hands as well. His body
had to endure a harsh impact, causing him to nearly vomit blood.
Immortalization and Imminent Immortals really did have a large difference in power.
The peacocks laughed. âYou dare to fight me with that puny power of yours? I really wonder how on
earth you killed the sacred nun. Sheâs such a powerful being! So what did you do to her?â
Alex used the Ultimate Book of Medicine to calm his blood energy down. He knew that he was biting off
more than he could chew. He was overconfident after his power improved, thinking he could break a
whole universe with just one punch.
However, a mere Immortal snapped him back to reality.
âImmortals really are pretty strong!â
Moreover, peacocks had the blood of ancient divine beasts, their bodies naturally strong. Since they
were quite an old clan as well, they had myriad talents and skills. Without the help of the Seventy two
Heavenly Immortal-slaying Formation, it would be quite hard to handle them.
With this, Alex was able to find out even more about just how horrifying the formation was.
âWhat did I do to her? Do you guys not know yet? I cooked her alive!â
âDonât worry, you two would follow in her footsteps as well!â
Since he was forcefully enduring this, all 499 of his golden cores were activated at full power, making
him rush over immediately. His current speed was just too quick. A mere step was able to bring him
straight to where the Peacocks were standing.
