A chaperone rushed over, standing right in front of the two women, taking the attacks head-on.
His deep, black sockets seemed to be glaring at Alex with malicious intent. âAre you not going to fight
back? These people are here for you. Weâre being dragged into this for no reason.â
Alex shrugged. âThanks, I guess. Want a medal for that?â
These people were here to give him trouble, too, so he obviously had no intention to save them.
Frustrated and annoyed, the chaperone had no choice but to face Novianâs hot weapon attacks. He
knew that one sword wasnât enough, so he took out another. Placing both swords in front of his body,
he managed to flick the bombs away.
Alex and the Mystic Maiden, on the other hand, had been treated like mere ornaments no one paid
attention to.
With that, Alex went to the Mystic Maidenâs side, disappearing from behind Lunafreya. He then hugged
her tiny, boney waist and said, âI donât think weâre needed here, so ciao!â
Lunafreya had been staring at Alex this whole while. So she was surprised, least expecting him to use
Instant Teleportation.
âOh no, theyâre going to run.â
âWait, I know something about your companion!â she abruptly called out to Alex.
âIf I canât find any other way around this, weâd definitely die here today.â
âWhat?â Alex froze, not activating Instant Teleportation just yet.
âYou know my companion?â
At the same time, the Novians were relieved as well. When they noticed Alex using Instant
Teleportation, they knew that something wasnât right.
âThe two most important people here must be trying to escapeâ¦â
âHuh.. Yet again, they have exceeded our expectations.â
In reality, this group consisted of the first four trialists who first appeared in Galaxy Nova. When Alyssa
died, they summoned someone capable and found out that some natives had likely mastered the
power of ancient Buddhism. After hearing that, these people were shocked to the core.
They all thought that only those who had mastered the powers of ancient Buddhism could genuinely
enter the Dairaionji Temple.
As itâd been many years since anyone with ancient Buddhist power showed up, they figured that this
was a rare opportunity. They then proceeded to look for whatever information they could find on Alex
and his group.
It was a pity that Alex and the others set their hearts on researching bone patterns after obtaining
Alyssaâs ring. Locking themselves up in the cave for three months, the Novians couldnât find any clues
on them at all.
Later on, the group left the cave and found the Shoraionji Temple.
However, as Alex went deeper into the temple, Daya and the others went back to the cave so they
could hide. Yet the Novians found their tracks, which was why Daya left a message and told him that
they had been chased down by the Novian trialists for a year.
It was fortunate that these people werenât all that strong, so their ambush ended up in them being
defeated instead.
Yet this team was clearly stronger. They knew that the dilapidated temple was special since they were
unable to break the door open despite using every way they could think of. It was simply unusualâ¦
After that, they even found out that Daya had left a message around, so they figured there must be
some sort of big secret hidden within.
Despite this, Daya was just too tremendously strong. She had lots of miraculous skills up her sleeve as
well. They couldnât get a hold of her, so they could only stay here and be on standby.
Now that Alex and Mystic Maiden had shown up, they didnât expect Lunafreyaâs surprise attack, let
alone the fact that Alex knew about Instant Teleportation.
âTheela, seal this space!â someone shouted.
Just then, some person in a purple suit grabbed more than twenty flags and stuck them into the ground
at the speed of lightning. Placed in an odd formation, the flags glistened with a mysterious glow. Energy
flowed about, shooting rays of light as the flags burrowed into the ground.
With this, this place was locked down. Alex couldnât continue teleporting. Alex glanced at the flag, then
at the formation on the ground. He couldnât help but smile srnugly, his eyes tinted with disdain.
âThese formation flags are pretty good, but your formations are just puny. What trash!â
After making this remark, he waved to Lunafreya. âDo you really know information about my
companion? Then come over here and seal off your powers. I will ensure that you donât die.â
