âWhat? You want me to seal my powers?â
âNo way!â Lunafreya shouted so hard that she didnât even sound like herself.
To her, sealing her powers in this situation was no different than committing suicide. Her companions
were yelling back as well, saying that this was wishful thinking on Alexâs end.
This was especially true for the chaperone, who has been quiet this whole time, Alexâs words formed
thorns in his heart, causing him to glare at Alex with sheer rage. âIn your dreams! How dumb can you
be? These outsiders had set up a formation, theyâ re here to capture you! Not only do you refuse to
cooperate with us, but you want us to seal our powers? What are you? A twat?â
âAwh⦠You even know how to call us twats. Very good! Then just treat me like a twat. If youâre that
smart, then go fight them yourself!â Alex shrugged nonchalantly.
âYou think Iâd be scared? I just donât want to take the fall!â
âThen leave. No oneâs stopping you.â
The chaperone was so angry that he nearly vomited blood.
They couldnât escape, and the Novian trialists were treating them like weaklings. They wanted to kill
them off as a threat to Alex.
âF*ck. Thereâs nothing worse than this.â
Despite this, Alex stood still, neither helping nor running.
If the Novians hadnât set up the flag formation, he wasnât sure that he could turn this around. Yet, the
circumstances had changed. He realized that those formation flags were a wonderful set of mystical
tools.
However, the formation setter wasnât quite familiar with formations. They were wasting all potential of
this treasure and only managed to set up a trashy formation. Alex was able to break out of this within
seconds, and he had taken the set of flags as his own. With these formation flags in hand, he would be
even more powerful within the Underworld.
Mystic Maiden was interested in the flags as well. She asked Alex telepathically to snatch it over.
âDonât worry. I was just going to!â Alex responded.
He had inserted his divine conscience into the ground, using the Chaos roots to burrow further. He then
managed to surround all twenty-four flags. Hence, he would be able to activate them whenever he
wanted to.
He would break through this formation, plus he could take this mystical tool as his own.
The battle was still ongoing at the time.
Even though the chaperone was quite strong, he still couldnât handle this many Novian trialists at once
despite using all his treasures. Within minutes, his defense broke through. With dozens of fractured
bones, that significant impact nearly killed him.
He fell next to Alexâs feet with a loud thud, unable to crawl back up no matter how much he wanted to.
âIs that all youâve got?â Alex lowered his head to meet his gaze, shrugging.
Ringâ¦
The chaperone felt immense embarrassment within his soul. Unable to bear the humiliation, he fainted
instead.
âI agree!â
âWe agree to seal our powers!â
Suddenly, Lunafreyaâs best friend rushed over and hugged her tightly, yelling, âOkay, weâll seal our
powers away and join your team! But you have to keep your word and protect us then weâll tell you
information about your companion. Donât worry. We wonât disappoint you.â
Lunafreya was obviously unhappy with her best friendâs decision. She wanted to struggle free.
âLune, just listen to me! Surrender when necessary. You might even get rewarded in the future, right?â
âSurrendering would only make us losers.â Lunafreya sighed. She was a prideful woman, so she didnât
want to plead in such a manner to anyone. To her, it was equivalent to being a beggar.
Her best friend, however, seemed quite open minded and whispered, âDonât be so pessimistic. Youâre a
gorgeous beauty! So youâre definitely not a loser. Besides, you won the lottery at birth with your big
Lunafreyasâ¦â
âThat guy is pretty strong, and he might be handsome. As long as you surrender today, you might
actually seduce him with your beauty. You can have him at your beck and call.â
She wasnât speaking telepathically, having already sealed away her powers.
Hearing this, Alex was quite stunned.
âIs Lunafreya not her actual name?â
âItâsâ¦â
âUsing the moon to describe her chestâ¦?â
âLuna⦠Freya⦠A woman with two full moons?â
âI guess itâs somewhat accurate.â
However, as they were all skeletons, whatever âmoonsâ she would have had were more like craters
now. It was then that the trialists realized something was wrong. The two groups were fighting not too
long ago, but they seemed to have agreed now, cooperating.
It was unfortunate that they couldnât understand what Alex and the others were talking about.
