Chapter 410: Saint

At the same time that the mysterious lady got caught, Nyx and Silveria disappeared; outside, Alex coughed blood while his body violently shook. 

''Ahhhhhhhh!" 

Alex clutched his chest hard; his breathing quickened for a short period before returning to normal. The dungeon started shaking before Alex was violently thrown out and before his body disappeared, a crimson light entered his body.

A few hours later, Alex woke up in the middle of a forest; he sat up and checked his body. 

''Nothing wrong, I'm perfectly fine.'' 

Alex heaved a sigh of relief before suddenly remembering about Silveria; he immediately called her out. 

''Sil, Sil, Silveria!!" 

No matter how many times he called her name, Silveria didn't answer. He then called Nyx, and the same thing happened, none of them answered his calls which was odd; knowing that he could only wait for them as there was nothing he could do, Alex decided to move, to leave the forest and search for his companions, but before that, there was something he must do, check his status as he was feeling mighty at the moment as if he had stepped closer the highest level in this world.

''Status!" Alex called out, and following his call, his status window appeared right before his eyes.

''I'm Saint, huh?!" Alex mumbled; his face showed neither joy nor surprise; he could now be counted in the rank of the strongest. While it's true that he had stepped into the Saint Realm at the age of 17, Alex knew well that he must become arrogant; there is still lot of people out there stronger than him, the road is still long. 

''Hah! I wonder what the question mark is? Is it somehow related to that crimson-eyed lady? I feel something in my chest, some kind of connection; it is faint, almost as if it could disappear at any moment. Well, let's forget about it for now. I should check that new special ability; somehow, I got the feeling that I would love it.'' 

[Asura For-]

''Alex!!!!" 

Before Alex could test his new ability, Alex heard someone calling his name; Sakuya ran toward him with Lilith on her back. 

''Sakuya, Lilith, you guys are fine. It's good to see you again!" Alex was forced to cancel his plan for later; he welcomed Sakuya, who immediately put the weakened Lilith down. 

''What? Alex, what happened to you?" 

Sakuya suddenly froze in her steps; she couldn't approach Alex; his body exuded a terrible amount of strength that made her knees almost give up; it was like Alex had become an insurmountable wall.

''Sigh! Congratulations on becoming a Saint, Alexander.'' Lilith said with a weakened sigh.

Lilith's words were like a clap of thunder in Sakuya's ears; she staggered back and fell on her butt. 

''No way!" She mumbled feebly; she couldn't believe what she was hearing. 

''Hahahaha! It's not a big deal.'' Alex scratched his head while he did his best not to smile like a fool; it was a pretty good feeling to be praised for your hard work; the road hadn't been smooth sailing, only he knows what he went through, how many hardships he faced for him to arrive here, well, it's just the beginning. 

''Congratulations! Alex, I'm happy for you.'' 

Finally, Sakuya regained her composure and congratulated Alex; however, if one pays close attention to her, you should see she was trembling, her voice was shaking, she clutched her hands so hard that they had become white. 

Lilith shook her head; it was understandable if you think about it; from what she recalled, they started at the same time; no, the other seven had stronger status, better environment, they were surrounded by people that made it easy for them to get stronger quickly, at the start they were ahead but now none of them could hold a candle to the boy that was once deemed as failure due to his sealed Gift, how ironic, truly ironic. 

Sakuya thought that she would catch up soon as she had almost reached Rank 10, and yet Alex widened the gap by becoming Saint; it shocked her; the shock was too much, she almost lost confidence in herself. And as if he could see through her like an open book, Alex taunted the S queen.

''Thank you, Sakuya, but what with that face? Don't tell me that you are scared of chasing after me? I will be disappointed with it was the case; I thought I would have a good fight against you one day; I guess it was my wishful thinking.'' 

''Fufufufufu! Hahaha!''' 

Sakuya burst into laughter; she laughed hard, so hard that her laughter echoed in the forest. 

''Fufufu! Bring it; I will catch up to you and soon surpass you. I shall then step on you like your queen. Fufufu! Just wait.'' Sakuya made a bold declaration. 

Although Alex wished to ignite Sakuya's fighting spirit, he wished he had not done that as he believes that he just gave birth to something terrible. 

Looking at Sakuya, who had regained her confidence, Lilith sighed, feeling happy for her; she was not far from the Saint Realm as well, it would have been good if Sebastian was here with her to celebrate with her on the day she succeeded, however, this wish of her would never come true simply because Sebastian was no more.

''Don't worry, I will be there, everyone will be there you're not alone.''

Unexpectedly, Alex's voice reached Lilith's ears and brought a bit of warmth into her heart. 

''Thank you!" She said.
