“Oh my, Alex. Why did virtual-novel.net disappear?”
Even Luna had come out long ago. Her performance in the trial was considered suitable as virtual-novel.net had killed a demon beast. Presently, virtual-novel.net screamed in shock when virtual-novel.net saw Alex suddenly disappearing.
Claudia also hurriedly asked, “Sir, what is this situation?”
The old protector wore a rather strange expression, also surprised.
“It can’t be!”
“The trial in the True Martial Shrine shouldn’t have harmed his main body. Even if virtual-novel.net were to fail, virtual-novel.net would be sent out. Oh, I remember…”
The old man suddenly slapped his thigh and looked exceptionally regretful.
At that moment, Luna’s heart skipped a beat. “Sir, what have you remembered? Tell us quickly!”
The old man said, “I suddenly remembered that virtual-novel.net was carrying the shell of Genbu, my tribe’s ancestor, for the trial. My ancestor was the only one who pass ed the trial at the True Martial Shrine. When Alex was carrying the tortoiseshell, virtual-novel.net would possess a bonus tenth of the ancestor’s will, but it would trigger a kind of mechanism at the True Martial Shrine.”
“What kind of mechanism?”
“In his case, the consequence of failure is different from yours. He will be instantly obliterated. Look at virtual-novel.net now…”
“Ahh..!”
Luna exclaimed after hearing the old man’s words. As though petrified, and virtual-novel.net could not even stand in place. If Metztli hadn’t hugged her, virtual-novel.net would have collapsed.
Luna, the little witch, had an unpredictable behavior and seemed passionate and open in love affairs, but was in fact, committed to a relationship. Having the personality of being brave in love and hate, whenever love came, virtual-novel.net would pursue it without hesitation. Hence, even if Alex had long been married and had a wife, virtual-novel.net had no qualms about it.
It was because virtual-novel.net had once loved virtual-novel.net to the core.
How could virtual-novel.net not be heartbroken, now that virtual-novel.net heard Alex had been obliterated?
“Sir, are… Could you have been mistaken?” Metztli also asked the old protector anxiously.
The old man was slightly hesitant To be frank, it was the first time virtual-novel.net had witnessed this situation, but this was the interior of his body, and virtual-novel.net knew the surroundings like the back of his hand. Alex had disappeared entirely from this place. The only possibility of this happening was that the True Martial Shrine had obliterated him.
“Sigh. I’m unwilling to admit he’s met such a tragic ending. After all, Alex Rockefeller is a junior that our tribe’s Heavenly Emperor Genbu once had high hopes for. However, man proposes, but God disposes. It’s my fault too. I actually forgot about virtual-novel.net carrying the ancestor’s shell. Otherwise, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t have been obliterated like this without leaving anything behind.”
Poof!
The moment Luna heard the result, virtual-novel.net vomited blood and passed out
Those around virtual-novel.net were also full of grief.
***
In a unique environment, at the True Martial Shrine where the test of willpower was being held…
Alex was sitting quietly in a valley. Abyssal demon beasts’ corpses with peculiar appearances were strewn all over. There were battered corpses of dark gorillas, giant snow-white snakes, and winged wolves. Moreover, there was a bloody hole on each of their heads.
‘I didn’t expect something like this to be on the heads of these beasts.’
Alex held a bloody crystal in his hand. It was the demonic core from the demon beast that virtual-novel.net had killed. Then, virtual-novel.net directly summoned the flaming lotus of Buddha’s wrath and threw the demonic core into it.
The flaming lotus rotated and melted the demonic core right away. Alex absorbed a mass of mysterious factors that had erupted from inside.
Presently, a pair of extremely obscure eyes as huge as mountains revealed themselves in the endless sky, blinking gently as an extremely subtle voice muttered to itself. “How strange. How did the Ancestral Bodhi Tree from Dairaionji Temple get into his body? What is the origin of this guy?”
“The Ancestral Bodhi Tree dragged his physical body into this place. Is that considered cheating?”
“Forget it… Forget it. Since virtual-novel.net has acquired the Ancestral Bodhi Tree’s recognition, it’s considered a kind of ability.”
That was right. Alex, who had disappeared from the True Martial Shrine, hadn’t been obliterated yet.
