Alexander jumped from the balcony without delay
Rustin's face turned pale
While Gray's eyes widened in fear
"Don't worry, Gray, we'll land safely." Alexander issued a reassurance while in the air
What about me...Rustin turned his eyes to Alexander in despair
Alexander smiled at him. "You're strong. I'm sure you'll be fine."
For the first time in his life, Rustin felt unhappy about receiving praise from someone else
Alexander let go of Rustin's waist and left him to land himself
“Damn you...” Even though he expected this thing, he was still shocked by this betrayal
After Alexander was twenty meters from the ground, he used his free hand to grab the saw and plant it in the wall to slow his fall.
They were able to land safely and without any problems
Alexander threw Gray to the ground and started walking towards Rustin
Rustin was staring at the sky while he was on the ground in the middle of a human-shaped hole
Alexander took him by the hand and helped him up. "This is not the time to think about the meaning of life. You should go find a safe place."
Rustin got up with Alexander's help, but he was surprised by his words. "You won't come with us?"
"Okay..." Alexander rubbed his neck. “If I go with you, I will cause unnecessary trouble.”
Alexander scanned his surroundings as he looked through the window before leaving the apartment
He didn't see any body
All there is is damage to the surrounding buildings
This has one explanation, which is that the people responsible for this attack are here to achieve a goal
Attacking the academy is just a means to achieve their goal
Who are the crazy people who don't have enough brain cells to do this?
He can easily figure out who is responsible for this mess
Vitae energy is the most unstable type of energy, so people who use this energy are mentally unstable
This energy would drive its users to extreme actions that harmed those around them, and often harmed themselves in the process.
People who use Vitae energy are the group most vulnerable to becoming hollows
Therefore, the reputation of this energy was the worst in the multiple worlds
The energy of despair...this is the name given to the Vitae energy
It is a force derived from pain and suffering, and it requires death and destruction
It is like wine that does not quench the thirst of the thirsty
No matter how much you drink, you will never be able to get enough

“Go…” Alexander closed his eyes and pointed at Rustin and Gray
Rustin nodded, grabbed Gray's hand, and started running
Alexander kept his eyes closed for a while, then put his hands over his eyes
After twenty seconds, he removed his palms and opened his eyes
His irises dilated and turned purple with black lines emanating from his pupils
He looked around cautiously and stopped in a certain direction
A crazy smile appeared on his face. " I found you..."
Alexander disappeared from his place without leaving a trace
Seconds later, he appeared on the roof of a building hundreds of meters away from his previous location
He was following the traces of Vitae energy left behind by the person who attacked the academy
Despite all the powers granted by Vitae energy, its instability made it easy to trace
This is why users of Vitae energy had difficulty escaping from hunters and assassins who specialize in chasing and tracking their enemies.
"Hmm..." Alexander's purple eyes moved towards a dilapidated building that was close to the area where his target was located.
There were two slight traces of aura emanating from there
There seemed to be two people hiding there... Alexander frowned as he thought about what to do
But after much thought he decided to leave it to luck
If these two can escape, it will be for the best
Alexander stood on the edge of the roof and began jumping on walls and roofs with inhuman speed
It only took moments for him to reach the location where his target was
His enemy was right in front of him
But the effects of the auras are still present inside the building. Alexander's eyes returned to normal as he stood on the roof of a tall building
“Are those idiots hiding there?” He didn't know why they chose this bad place out of all the places around them
The roof of the building was destroyed and it was easy for anyone standing at the right height to see inside
“This!...” Alexander’s eyes widened when he saw the two people hiding in that building
Sella was lying on the ground, bleeding from her waist, while Louise was sitting on her knees, trying to bandage Sella.
"Why them of all people." Alexander hit his forehead in distress
He couldn't let Louise die
There was still a lot of information he had to get from this girl
Such as her relationship with Thomas Dior, and most important of all is the treasure that Thomas stole from the earth
I have to get her out of this place....With this thought Alexandre rushes towards Louise's location
-----------------------
“Hold on a minute…” Louise was trying to bandage a wound on the side of Sella’s waist
Sella gritted her teeth in pain, but looked at Louise with some reproach. “You should have gone when I told you to.”
“Do you want me to leave you facing that person alone?”
“I can face him alone.”
A voice came from the entrance of the building. " I can see this clearly."
Louise grabbed her weapon that was beside her and took a fighting stance
But she was surprised to see that Alexander was the person standing at the door
"Mr. Alexander?..." Louise didn't know why Alexander was here
"You should get out of here..."
Alexander moved towards them, but suddenly stopped and turned back
He couldn't help but let out a tired sigh
His senses were telling him that danger was only meters away from him
With this distance, he wouldn't be able to make Louise and Silla escape in time
“Mr. Alexander—” Louise wanted to approach him
But a huge explosion occurred, completely destroying the wall overlooking the street
A man wearing a black robe with red stripes appeared before them, and a long sword in his hand
Alexander narrowed his eyes as he looked at this man with a frown
This man had dark blue-black hair
But this person's face is close to someone he knows
This suspicious man looks like Edward
His hunter's instinct was telling him so
Alexander turned his attention to a masked figure standing behind this swordsman
This masked man was wearing a black cloak covering his body, bandages on his hands, and a white mask covering all of his face except for his blue eyes.
There was no mortal danger emanating from this man, but Alexander could still feel the raging Vitae energy coming from this person.
There were no monsters around
But this did not make him feel reassured because the lack of a monster with this man was a serious indicator of the level he had reached
The blue-haired swordsman smiled as he placed his hand on his chest like a gentleman. "I am Merlin Creed..."
Suddenly the masked man spread his arms
The masked man's shadow began to expand and formed a circle with a diameter of ten meters. Merlin and the masked man stood in the center of the circle made of the masked man's shadow.
Grrrr!
A ferocious growl emerged from within the shadows as the head of a giant wolf emerged from the shadow at the feet of Merlin and the masked man, and soon the wolf's entire body appeared.
“This!...” Louise and Sella looked at this with awe and horror
Only Alexander remained calm as he looked at this carefully
When a person who follows the Metamorphosis' path reaches the fourth level and passes through the Heaven's Gate, he turns into a Shadow Master
Where he can keep the monsters he controls under his shadow
Of course, the amount of monsters he could keep in his shadow varied from one person to another depending on the individual's level of strength and prowess
As your level increases, you will be able to control stronger monsters and keep a larger number of them in your shadow
Having an entire army of monsters everywhere you went was terrifying
He didn't expect his enemy to be at such a high level
Even this man named Merlin is at least at the third level
Merlin and the masked man stood on top of the wolf, which was emitting a feral aura
Merlin took a step forward, smiling cheerfully. "Alexander Ford, we're here for you..."
“…” Sella and Louise turned their eyes to Alexander in astonishment
They realize that these two men in front of them are the people who attacked the academy
But they do not know what this man meant by this statement
“For me?...” Alexander feigned shock and looked at them suspiciously. “If all this is what you want, then we could have met in a café instead of making this scene.”
"Unfortunately, this opportunity was not possible..." Merlin shook his head with some sarcasm
“Then why are you here for me?”
“We are here to give you an irreplaceable opportunity...” Merlin pointed towards Alexander. “We will give you strength.”
"strength?" Alexander asked in amazement
"This is correct." Merlin's smile widened when he saw Alexander listening intently to him. “We will give you the power to regain everything you lost, the position others took from you, the respect you lost because those around you despised you. Joining us is all it takes.”
Merlin extended his hand forward in a symbolic gesture of his desire to help Alexander
Alexander lowered his head in deep thought
"What do you think?..." Merlin asked, pressing Alexander in an attempt to get him to accept this offer
"I have one question." Alexander raised his head towards Merlin with a prickly gaze
Merlin's confidence increased when he saw that Alexander did not reject his offer, because this indicates that he does not reject the idea of joining them
"what's your question"
Alexander pointed his finger at the masked man standing behind Merlin. “Was this man working in magic tricks show?”
