Alex felt a phantom pain in his teeth upon seeing the two giant crabs. That was because his face had
been kicked by crabs before. His teeth were almost knocked out, and his waist was nearly broken in
half. There were even two holes punctured in his chest.
Hence, Alex was still wary of them. He just wanted to kill them off.
âHey, Wilbert. You can handle these two ghost crabs. Please donât be like my little girl and not train
yourself.â
Alex placed his conscience into his mind palace and spoke to the tool spirit.
âDonât worry, as long as thereâs enough divine power, there wonât be any problems. Besides, itâs just
two little crabs. Iâll get you some crab roe later.â
Shelly was confident, so Alex felt relieved. He had to remember their current position. He knew that it
would be helpful to memorize where the exit of this space hallway was.
âAn astrology mark!â He exclaimed. This was something new that he found from the sword heart that
the woman in red gave him.
It was a marking that could be generally used in any space⦠Something like a destination pointer on a
GPS, but it was connected to his consciousness instead. Thus, after placing a mark, he would quickly
find this place as long as his memory wasnât wiped.
âDie!â Alex yelled and rushed toward the group of Undead.
The two giant crabs were the first to attack.
âShelly!â
âWith water flowing under the bridge, Persephone stands above!â
This time, the tool spirit was quite cooperative. She was murmuring an elegant ancient poem, but in
reality, it was a very cruel spell. A bloody ancient bridge appeared out of nowhere, forming under the
two crabs.
Ringâ¦
The two crabs exploded within a second. The ancient bridge was cruel, filled with irregular forces
relating to life and death. It was as if there was strong energy dragging them along with the other
Undead beasts.
âArghhhh!â
They all roared fiercely as they backed away immediately. All they saw was several beasts being
dragged onto Persephoneâs Folly Bridge, becoming significantly younger and smaller with each
secondâ¦
This situation was just too weird. It seemed like they were able to return to their youths. This was
initially a good thing, but the only problem was that the forces of fate were taking away the soul of the
Undead beasts apart from making its body younger. Those affected beasts turned into infants. Some
even looked like fetuses, vanishing, and turning into a dark and empty ball of energy, only to be
absorbed by the bridge.
The entire process looked as if someone was turning back time, and they were watching life being
returned to its original state again.
Alex was shocked to witness this as well, not just the two crabs, despite being already busy
slaughtering the Undead army. He couldnât bring himself to utter a single word as he held onto the
Requiem Clock
A while later, he asked Clinton, âHey, Shelly can control time? Say, can you ask her to make me look a
few years younger?â
The Requiem Clock was speechless. âDo you think youâre not young enough? If you get any younger,
youâd have to wear baby onesies.â
âUhmâ¦â
Alex then remembered that he looked like a fourteen year old child ever since he had merged with
Ymirâs Divine Bone.
After that, Clinton continued. âEven if the forces of fate could make you younger, you wouldnât like it
either. Thatâs because Persephoneâs Folly Bridge doesnât just take away age, it takes away memories,
soul, core, and some mysterious elements within a being as well.â
Upon hearing this, Alex shook that thought out of his head. He then swam off with the clock still in
hand, letting the chimes vibrate through the sea, causing the soul fires within the Undead to shake
vigorously.
He just needed to use Bodhiâs Dragon-Tusk punches to demolish the soul fires successfully in such
circumstances. With this, he would get the chance to harvest their lives.
Whoosh!
Alex then took notice that the bridge didnât drag the two crabs onto it. Instead, it used immortal chains
to restrict them. It would seem to be using this method to absorb the crabsâ life force and energy
directly.
âHey Clinton, it looks like Shelly is stronger than you!â Alex said.
âAh, Iâm getting old. I canât compare to these youngsters.â
âBut youâre still pretty strong, though.â
