Let's go fifteen minutes back.
Luna, who was running with the unconscious Gracier, stopped and erected a shield around Gracier.
''Stop hiding and come out,'' Luna shouted.
Suddenly, Alice appeared; she looked at Luna with a surprise inside her eyes; however, it stopped there, she didn't say anything before vanishing, and when she reappeared, she was behind, a white sword aimed at Luna's neck.
Clangs!
The sword got stopped by a white barrier before an explosion occurred.
Boom!
Alice jumped back, at the same time, she slashed her sword downward; she intended to cut into half Luna's Holy fist; however, upon coming into contact with Alice's sword, Luna's Holy fist exploded. Because the Holy fist was big, the explosion was terrific.
KaBoom!
Alice glided across the air; strangely, she mimicked Luna's skill, the Holy barrier to shield herself from the terrible explosion.
''Water Dragon!"
''Roarrr!"
A fifteen meters eastern water dragon appeared and roared before trying to swallow Alice whole. And because previously she had suffered twice underestimating Luna, Alice did not rush to attack; she waited; she only erected two Holy barriers around her body.
Even so, she got tricked again; just as the water dragon was about to swallow Alice, the water dragon changed strategy; using its body, the water dragon wrapped it around Alice, which was using the shield.
It was at that moment that Alice knew that she had fallen into Luna's trap, she sensed extreme danger, the hair at her back stood up at the end, like a ghost Luna manifested behind Alice, Gracier was nowhere to be seen.
The moment Luna appeared, she instantly activated that domain she just acquired, the one that makes her enemies age; however, before Luna's domain could show its effects on Alice, the latter figure turned blurry, Luna froze in place, the sensation of imminent danger struck her.
Rapidly, Luna constructed five Holy shields around her body; even so, she was still struck.

Luna was sent flying; she destroyed numerous rocks before crashing against the wall on the opposite side; the crash even leaves a small crater on the wall, her body slide to the ground while she coughed blood.
''Cough! Cough!"
Alice slowly approached Luna; she was frowning; for the first time since she awoke, Alice talked.
''Where is the little girl?"
Unexpectedly, Alice possessed a charming voice, and it was soothing contrary to what one might think because of her face; her voice was not cold.
''Cough! Fufufu! She's already gone.'' Luna declared. Using the second explosion as cover, Luna secretly lets the unconscious Gracier ride a small water dragon to escape. Luna knew fully well that she couldn't protect Gracier while at the same time fighting against this white-haired girl; she is a monster far powerful than her; if not because of love, love for her family, Luna would never choose to fight this girl.
''I see.''
Those two were what Alice said before vanishing, a white light descended toward Luna's neck at frightening speed, Luna closed her eyes, she was almost out of MP, she was waiting for the last moment before unleashing her ultimate attack to take Alice with her, or at least severely injure her; however, a black sword appeared and black the sword beam.
Alice jumped from the ground, a hand made from earth missed her by air breath; however, she was slammed to the ground by an invisible wind hand, it was already too late when Alice noticed it.
Luna smiled when she saw Sera appearing, there was another green-haired young woman with her; although she had the impression to have seen this woman somewhere, she couldn't remember where before darkness took over her consciousness, she had lost consciousness.
Alice stood up and stared at the new incomers for a moment before looking past the first floor; then, she smiled before beckoning Sera and Pandora (Meera) to attack her.
Although Sera and Pandora (Meera) were curious about what Alice's smile meant, they decided not to think about it; maybe she was excited to fight two opponents simultaneously; either way, they must quickly deal with her and assist Alex.
Sera disappeared before reappearing again with her sword ready; she had placed Luna somewhere safe.
''Let's go,'' Sera said before disappearing; Pandora (Meera) nodded before disappearing as well.
Alice smiled before summoning a second sword, she disappeared in turn, and soon the sound of weapons clashing against each other could be heard; however, those wielding the weapons couldn't be seen, only sparks and weapon's sounds.
•••••
Back to Alex's location.
Alex stopped using his domain to conserve a bit of MP; the young man who got injured smiled before a long white sword in sheat appeared in his left arm.
''Time to attack.''
〖Master, careful.〗Silveria warned Alex. At the same time Alex's sixth sense ringed alarm bell, his head almost exploded, without hesitation Alex used Xerox, crisscrossing his guns, Alex went on full defensive moves
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Bang! Bang! Bang!!
Alex was able to deflect the sword strikes sent at him; he didn't even see the young man unsheath his sword, which means that in the art of the sword, the young man was at an advanced stage.
''Not bad, I shall get serious.'' the young man said before taking a deep breath; he brought his sword toward his left as if he wanted to unsheath it, and then.
Swoosh! Boom! Clangs!
Alex only saw a white light; he reacted only on instinct; using Silveria, he blocked the young man's sword; it was a beautiful white sword.
BANG
The impact sent him crashing on the few remaining half-broken experimentation tubes. The floor behind him caved in, and the glass panels exploded into tinkling shards.
SCREECH~
"Cough!"
Alex coughed up a mouthful of blood. His chest and hands ripped open, and hot blood splashed out.
Still, he ignored the pain as the impact sent him flying. He put his feet on the ground forcefully and stopped himself from dragging back any further.
''Not bad.'' the young man clapped before he furrowed his eyebrows and smiled.
''Hehehe! We got an unexpected guess. Come.''
At the man's command, a tiny Imps-like monster appeared holding Gracier; some part of her cloth was ripped, blood oozing out of a wound on her left shoulder, there were claw marks on her face.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBoom!
A big explosion occurred inside Alex's mind, Silveria sensed it, the man sensed it, the person hiding in space sensed it, the feeling of death.
The young man went immediately on the offensive; he slashed at Alex to finish him; however, Alex, who was in a trance, dodged the sword; however, his left arm got sliced off, Silveria fell to the ground, even so, Alex showed no emotions, emitted no cry.
The young man tried jumping back; however, he soon found himself locked in place.
Ba-dump! Ba-dump!
Alex's heartbeat accelerated; it began to beat like a drum; outside the sky above, the whole continent darkened.
Rumble!
Lightning struck; it was like the arrival of a supreme being.
Back to Alex's.
With his remaining arm, Alex pointed it in the young man's direction; the person hiding in space happened to be in that direction.
A black gun appeared inside Alex's hand, his black hair elongated, his right eye shined like a beacon amidst tempest.
When the young man saw the black gun, instinctively he knew that death had come, he tried to flee; unfortunately, he couldn't even move his fingers, even the person hiding couldn't move.
A cold voice entered Alex's mind,
[Detect two opponents. A different of Four Ranks.Requirement: 3 Ranks. Begin!]
Alex fell drained then a black bullet left the black gun.
BANG!
''The end!"
Somehow, Alex wanted to say this, so he said it.
The young man and the person hiding disappeared from this world. At the same time, black lightning struck Mysthia's world, shaking it to the core. Even the sleeping black dragon awoke for a moment before closing its again.
The reappearance of the Death goddess was sensed everywhere in the universe.
