Alex froze, instantly sensing the oddities around him. There seemed to be a mysterious force within this
land, sucking the life out of him at rapid speed.
He could obviously feel his energy depleting by the second. After that, this sensation arose within every
single person here.
âGod, this place is weird. I can feel my life depleting⦠Itâs being sucked away.â
âI feel it too. I feel like Iâm getting older.â
âWhat is this? Why would something like this happen? Quick, quick, letâs leave this creepy place.â
Everyone was panicking at this point, running as fast as they could away from this place. They used
every way they could think of , hoping to defend themselves from this mysterious force. However, in
mere moments, everyone was met with disappointment.
No matter how much they fought, they couldnât seem to fight back They were even unable to slow
down their aging.
Channing lost his cool, clearly freaking out. Since he was the oldest within the group, he didnât have
much life force left. At this rate, he would be drained within an hour and die.
He didnât want to die at all. He looked at Daya and asked, âMy queen, do you have any ideas? I think
Iâm dying soon. Help me. Please help meâ¦â
Daya was slowly losing her life force as well. She looked around the place, yet it just seemed endless.
The place was filled with a neverending silence, devoid of the slightest hint of life. The sky was grey
and cloudy, where neither sun nor moon was visible. One wouldnât even be able to identify directions
here.
âSaintly Luna Branch!â
Daya stabbed the otherworldly treasure of the Pixie tribe into the ground. She intended to set up a
natural boundary within this place, hoping to stop this mysterious force. However, the branch couldnât
seem to function here. It wasnât doing anything at all.
If this were any other place, a large tree should âve sprouted from the ground, forming a large forest
boundary.
Ynes used a form of mystic art as well, but even that didnât work either.
Alexâs Chaos tree might be able to absorb Chaos energy, but it couldnât stop his life from being drained
either. He even tried setting up boundaries and realms, yet none succeeded.
More importantly, he had lost all connection to the Cleansing Vase and all his storage treasures. He
initially tried to consume pills that provided more life force, but he couldnât do so in the end. The only
thing working was his mind palace.
Shelly and the Mystic Maiden were just as confounded when it came to such an extreme situation.
Thus, the group of people had become rather anxious.
âYnes, you⦠Your hair is turning grey!â Shirley pointed towards her and shrieked in surprise.
âHuh? My hair is grey?â
As a woman, her hair was quite an important issue. Beauties like her couldnât accept even a mere
strand of grey hair on their pretty little heads. However, as she untied her hair and looked at it herself,
she realized that Shirley was telling the truth.
She felt her heart drop to the bottom of the sea. Nonetheless, she still managed to calm down after
glancing at Shirley. âYours too.â
The two women looked at each other awkwardly. As their eyes locked, they felt like going insane. Not
only were their hair turning grey, but wrinkles were also starting to appear on their faces.
Their life force continued draining, happening so quickly that they were starting to notice the effects
with their naked eyes.
âNo, I donât want to be old and ugly!â
âAlex, think of something!â
Daya and Alexâs appearance didnât change all that much, but the effects were still apparent. They were
aging quickly, too, just slightly slower than the others.
Pigsy screamed hysterically. âOh my god, this place is way too ominous. There are age spots on my
body too. Iâm still a virgin, and I donât even have a family yet! My future son is still waiting for me, so
how can I die of old age here?!â
Alex said, âPigsy, youâre fast. Carry us on your back now, then run in one direction!â
When Pigsy heard this, it wanted to escape on its own and leave the others behind. However, Dayaâs
branch snagged it, and it couldnât struggle free. Without any other way out, it expanded its body and
carried everyone on its back as it complained loudly. It then turned into a ray of lightning and decided
on a direction to run in.
âArgh, argh!â
It zoomed off at ten times the speed of sound, then twelve, then twentyâ¦
Pigsy was already at its maximum speed, but this wasnât just its power alone. Alex, Daya, and the
others had used other various tools to assist, throwing in everything they had. They just used multiple
talismans, spells, mystical treasures, and even divine supporting arts.
