Endless Journey: Infinite Realms

Chapter 439 The End of Time!

To the surprise of Black Alex and White Alex, nothing dangerous had happened to them once they entered the storage.

Nothing stopped them from walking and observing all the items in the vault, which made Kid Alex feel less tense.

Black Alex and White Alex however did not lower their wariness, as they both knew that something is up with this scenario.

"...Even when this place held important objects that can tempt the original Alex, there’s no traps that were prepared against him? How interesting..." White Alex said aloud as he looked around him.

Even though he was currently tense from any unexpected attack, his eyes were glinting especially when he saw the treasures gathered around him. Greed, an emotion which was usually unseen from White Alex, was clearly visible in his eyes as his gaze roved on all the treasures.

If it were not for the threat of possible traps, then White Alex could have already started gathering all of these treasures with him. Black Alex appeared to be on the same dilemma too, although he was not exactly showing his greed at all.

"Oh well, if there’s no traps, then I guess we should start getting what we came here for." White Alex finally said after a few more minutes of staying inside the storage vault. "Maybe Emperor Litch forgot that this place is vital to him. Maybe he did not know that original Alex is interested on this place. Hehehe, if that’s the case, then it will be just easy pickings for us!"

White Alex then started walking imperiously towards the treasures, with both of this arms raised above his head.

"Black Alex and Kid Alex. Don’t just stand there. Come here and start gathering our needed items too!" White Alex bellowed as he began to access Alina’s Storage. "If we delay this, the Dao might give us some unfortunate delays!"

[DELAYS, YOU SAY? YOUNG MAN, IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT DELAYS, THEN YOU ARE LOOKING AT ONE RIGHT NOW.]

"Who?" White Alex blurted as he whipped his head around. The voice that just spoke up right now was something that caught him by surprise, so much so that he almost dropped his sword.

[IS THAT HOW YOU ACT AFTER HEARING MY VOICE? HOW RUDE. IT APPEARS AS IF YOU ARE IN DIRE NEED OF SOME DISCIPLINING FROM ME. BUT I AM IN A MISSION HERE, SO YOUR DISCIPLINE LESSONS WILL COME LATER...] The voice complained as White Alex, Black Alex and Kid Alex began looking around them with suspicion.

Even when these three was hearing this voice inside the storage, none of them can detect where this voice comes from.

Even when Black Alex used his emotion sensor to observe his surroundings, he still could not detect the source of this voice.

This seemed to have amused the owner of the voice, as a hearty laughter was suddenly heard from it.

[HEHEHE.... YOU DON’T NEED TO LOOK FOR ME ANYMORE. I AM SHAPELESS, AND I AM NOTHINGNESS. THERE’S NOTHING THAT YOU CAN DO TO DETECT ME, SO JUST STOP YOUR FUTILE ACTIOSS ALREADY!]

"Shapeless and nothingness? You... you are Assan, the Thousand-Bodied Assassin!" White Alex exclaimed as he huddled together with Black Alex and Kid Alex. At this point, all the three of them were in their battle stances, as if White Alex’s declaration had flipped a switch on them.

[OH.... SO YOU THREE ARE NOT JUST MINDLESS DRONES CREATED BY ALEX. YOU HAVE INTELLIGENCE THAT IS COMPARABLE WITH MY EXTRA BODIES. INTERESTING...] Assan murmured in interest, with his reverberating voice still spreading inside the storage. [AND HERE I THOUGHT THAT ALEX WAS TIRED ON HAVING EXTRA BODIES... SO HAS HE GOTTEN OVER HIS PAST ALREADY? THAT’S SURPRISING...]

"Assan. Even if you are a heinous assassin that is feared by many, you are still Alex’s friend. You know about his situation. Since you can clearly sympathize with him, then just let us off here." White Alex hesitantly said as he raised his sword above him. "Even if you are one of Emperor Litch’s best assassins, I know that you are also someone who values friends. Alex is one of your closest friends, so please, just don’t bother him anymore."

[BOTHER HIM? HEH, IF HE WANTS ME TO STOP LOOKING FOR HIM, THEN HE BETTER SAY THAT TO MY FACE!] Assan shot back with derision present on his tone. [HOW DARE HE COMMAND ME TO STOP BOTHERING ME, WHEN HE WAS JUST HIDING HIMSELF FROM ME? HMPH, SINCE HE DOES NOT WANT TO SEE ME, THEN I WILL FORCE HIM TO SEE ME!]

"Assan, you-"

[I DON’T KNOW HOW ALEX WAS ABLE TO CREATE YOU THREE, BUT FORM WHAT I CAN SEE, YOU ARE IMPORTANT TO HIM. I WONDER WHAT WOULD HAPPEN... IF I CAPTURE YOU HERE? WOULD HE COME AND SEE ME ALREADY? HMM... WHY AM I EVEN ASKING ABOUT THAT? I SHOULD JUST DO IT ALREADY!]

"You!"

[I HAVE BEEN STAYIGN INSIDE THIS STORAGE FOR OVER 10 YEARS ALREADY. THE EMPEROR TOLD ME THAT AS LONG AS I STAY HERE, SOMETHING INTERESTING WILL HAPPEN. AT FIRST I DID NOT BELIEVE HIM. AFTER ALL, WHO WOULD WANT THIS STORAGE, WICH ONLY CONTAINS ANTIQUE S**T? BUT LO AND BEHOLD, YOU THREE ACTUALLY CAME HERE! HAHAHAHA, THIS JUST MAKES MY LIFE MORE INTERESTING!]

"Gloom..."

After Assan said these words, the walls of the storage vault began to shake as multiple bodies began sprouting out of the walls.

These bodies all donned the same appearances, with their bodies covered with silky clothing. Nothing could be actually seen from their faces, as even these were covered by their clothing.

Tight metallic belts could be seen wrapped around their foreheads, necks, and waists, making them look like tightly-bound body bags. The only difference here was that these bodies were moving in a normal fashion, although their movements were veering towards the eerie side.

To anyone who sees these bodies right now, they will surely be unsettled as all of these bodies looked exactly alike each other. These bodies have the same height, same width, and same mannerisms. To say that these bodies were exact copies of each other is not a wrong thing to say, as this was the only thing that can explain the behavior of these bodies.

Once these bodies came out of the walls, they began to form a line which blocked the door that White Alex had entered in earlier.

[ALEX IS A COMPETITIVE GUY. THAT MEANS THAT IF HE WANTS TO GET WHAT HE WANTS IN THIS STORAGE, THEN HE MUST FIGHT FOR IT.] Assan said as the bodies began to walk towards the Alex Trio. [I DON’T CARE ON HOW HE DOES IT, BUT AS LONG AS HE WINS AGAINST ME, THEN I WILL LET HIM OFF HERE....]

"Ugh, why is the Dao so bad today? Did I jinx myself earlier?" White Alex complained as he let out a sigh. He then placed Kid Alex behind him as he fed power to his blood-red sword.

"Hum...."

The sword let out a murderous hum as White Alex fed his intentions on it. The stench of blood filled the air as the sword continued to hum, making even the bodies pause for a second.

[AN IMMORTAL CULTIVATION BODY? DAMN BOY, HOW THE HELL DID ALEX GET SOMETHING LIKE THIS?] Assan exclaimed in a light tone as the bodies resumed their movements. [AND WHAT IS THAT BLACK ONE BESIDE YOU? HMM... THAT’S THE POWER OF THE ABYSS! HOO BOY.... I’M SO JEALOUS OF ALEX ALREADY! HE WAS JUST GONE FOR A FEW YEARS, AND HE ALREADY HAD THINGS LIKE THESE? HMPH, I MUST MAKE HIM CONFESS TO ME LATER!]

"Boom!"

Without any prior warnings, all the bodies ran towards the Alex trio, brandishing weapons that suddenly appeared on their hands.

The killing intent form the bodies as they approached the trio were not fake at all, which showed their seriousness on killing the trio.

In face of this attack, both White Alex and Black Alex held their ground while Kid Alex continued to hide behind them.

"Scwhaa..."

Without any delays on his movements, Black Alex quickly recalled his Abyss Sprites towards him. He then had them transform into his Abyss Sage attire, bringing him to his peak form.

At the instant that he reached this point, Black Alex let out a low growl as he pointed his finger at the incoming bodies.

There was only anger and rage in his voice as he glared at his attackers, making his subsequent attack appear both spiteful and venomous.

"Boom!"

Alex’s signature Seven-Branched Tree appeared behind Black Alex, radiating a fearsome power that threatened to shake the whole place.

Unlike before, the size of this tree had been reduced, making it fit inside the storage vault. But even with this size, nobody inside the vault paid it any less attention.

From this tree’s seven branches, only three were dim and lifeless. The other four branches were glowing with such malice and evil that even White Alex could not help but back away from the tree.

Assan appeared to be surprised by the sight of this tree, but instead of showing any signs of fear, he just laughed as he regarded the tree with enthusiasm.

[HAHAHA! I LIKE THIS ONE! AN ORIGNAL ABYSS SPELL? HAHAHA! FIRE IT TO ME ALREADY! LET’S SEE IF YOU CAN BEST MY OWN POWER!]

"You asked for it, Assan. Don’t regret it once you have been consumed by the Abyss." Black Alex mumbled as he grabbed the Tree with his hands. He then ripped off one of the glowing branches, which elicited a roar of pain from the tree.

"Gryaa!" This pained roar sounded both graphic and vengeful, although Black Alex just duly ignored it.

Instead of tending to the tree that he just hurt, Black Alex placed his attention to the branch that he just obtained.

His eyes, which glowed red from the red light emitted by the branch, narrowed in anticipation as he crushed the branch into a tiny ball.

"Crunch..."

Once he had a piece of spherical wood on his hand, Black Alex let out a roar as he threw this ball towards his attackers, who appeared to be unable to stop him from his actions.

The only thing that they could do was to receive this ball head-on, something that seemed to have not worried them.

This lack of worry however, was quickly wiped away when Black Alex began to chant words of power right into the wooden ball.
