Chapter 117: Sis-con
It was not the end, of course.
After Nektor fell onto his knees, it was clear that his soul had been severed. He would soon enter the state where he would be worse than a killing machine!
Alex wouldn’t allow him to cause more problems, though!
“Quickly! Break the cage and take Celia away! Run back ho!” Alex’s voice woke up everyone from their stupor.
From his side, Schnee felt his urgency the most. She also heard an order, but Schnee naturally noticed Alex’s feelings behind that ordering voice.
On her four, she rushed toward Celia’s cage. Schnee broke the cage in one sweep, taking Celia away from the den.
“No! I want to be with Alex!” Celia extended her hand toward Alex’s back, to no avail.
Sara, Stella, Remia, and Olivia also didn’t stay idle. They charged through Nektor’s headless body; their target was naturally the exit.
Olivia wanted to stay behind with Alex since she was also a player. However, Alex shook his head, telling her to go with everyone else.
His close ones had used their Ultimate Skills. It was a matter of ti before they would pay the price for it.
While they still could move, Alex wanted everyone to escape and recuperate back ho. To make sure that everyone escaped, Alex requested Olivia to keep an eye on their state and protect them if need be.
“Take this sword back ho!” Alex threw the black sword to Olivia.
In a nutshell, he didn’t want his girlfriend to sacrifice within the den. He wanted her to sacrifice herself for her friends!
“AHHHHHHH!” Nektor finally let out his howls.
His voice ca from one direction, far away from his body. At the sa ti, his headless body stood up. An imnse power oozed out of him.
His wounds opened wider, and more blood fountained out from him. He couldn’t control his anger, mana flow, and skills. All of those exerted pressure on his body, which hurt him more than it did well in his current state.
Alex took out his Ice Breath, then smiled, “I will improve myself too.”
Of course, those were rely words. Alex’s stats had been severely decreased, and the backlash from Ultimate Skill also hit him already.
He barely could stay on his two legs.
“Nektor,” the third princess’ voice rang out, “Shut up.”
BANG!
Nektor’s headless body let go of his sword.
“Huh?” Alex uttered, confused.
The sound of the sword’s fall confird what he had just seen. His enemy, the third prince, completely stopped moving.
He didn’t even dare to move an inch after the princess’ order.
From afar, Nektor’s head slowly made his way toward his race. His face was pale and scrunched from pain. Nonetheless, he still looked handso. Even in such a state, his golden hair and blue eyes would’ve chard many ladies.
He awkwardly floated behind his sister.
“But… how co? Sara told that you can’t stop this hysteric state…” Alex asked from the other side.
The princess replied, “He’s a sis-con.”
“I understand,” Alex nodded.
“Do you?” the princess asked in a slightly curious tone.
Alex nodded, explaining that he could tell about Nektor’s genuine love for his big sister. Those words made Nektor look at Alex differently, as if they had beco friends through sword’s battle.
The third princess didn’t react, “Why didn’t you kill Nektor?”
It was Henred’s turn to react. He glanced at the royal siblings with mouth agape, then looked down as no one even paid attention to him. He clenched his hands, staring at the pebbles.
Alex made quite an uncomfortable expression, “It was my selfishness.”
The princess raised her eyebrow, forcing Alex to continue with her royal beauty.
Alex sighed, “If the battle continued, my headless body would’ve probably won…”
Nektor’s last attack had a flaw. He needed to gather his energy, then make a slash. That would give enough ti for Alex’s headless body.
Of course, Nektor hadn’t expected that flying slash. He believed Alex didn’t have any long-projectile skills.
Alex continued, “So I guess I could’ve killed him… But that wouldn’t be , but Elias Deathwill’s skill. I wanted to add sothing from myself. I want to be part of Deathwill, not a substitute for their king.
It was a hard decision, though…” Alex pointed his finger at Henred, “But when I saw that Sara hadn’t killed that man, I knew I could selfishly act.”
From Stella’s state, Alex inferred that the third princess had been not trying to kill them. He didn’t say it out loud, but he had a feeling that his guess was right.
The third princess nodded.
She fished out a token from her inventory. After throwing it into Alex’s hands, the third princess took out the two battle dresses.
Those were similar to her own dress.
She also passed it to Alex.
“Big sister?” Nektor asked with wide eyes.
The princess replied without looking at him, still hovering her eyes on Alex, “You had your plan; I had my own.”
“…” Nektor looked down like an obedient little brother.

“May I know your na?” Alex asked before introducing himself, “I’m Alex Deathwill.”
The third princess lifted her battle dress, then languorously bowed. Her manners were quite hypnotizing, drawing Alex’s attention.
She whispered, “Natalia Miseles.” Her eyes went up, looking into Alex’s hues, “If you promise to visit the Dullahan Kingdom at the level three hundred, Sara and Celia will be no longer on our wanted list.”
“I promise,” Alex imdiately nodded, “I also have a question, though.”
“…” Everyone silently stared at him.
Alex asked, “You all have reset your levels, right? If your levels were higher, you wouldn’t be able to enter these lands… Am I correct?”
He prayed inwardly that he was correct.
Natalia nodded, “Correct. The soul grave-keeper is probably limited too. Otherwise, he would’ve already snatched us from this den.”
Nektor spat, “Speaking of this den that Wolfen Demon must be hiding sowhere. You better kill yourself and respawn sowhere else.”
Although his words sounded heartless, Nektor had been looking at Alex with different eyes.
Natalia added, “If you drop an item, we will deliver it to your castle.”
Alex analyzed his situation, then nodded, “Uh, I’m sorry for asking so many questions, but the soul grave-keeper has been inactive in your Darkmana Empire. I heard he is your enemy.”
Nektor replied, “He’s been here for ages. Who knows what he is up to? We haven’t clashed with him for a long ti in the current generation. Either he has different plans, or he’s preparing sothing big.”
Alex nodded, “Thanks.”
He glanced at his stats. His severe bleeding had been taking down a lot of his health points. In just a few minutes, he would die. Alex decided to help himself a little, cutting his arm a few tis.
At last, he died.
His body turned into particles while his vision beca black.
[You have died.]
[23:59:93 until you can log in back.]
Natalia turned around, “Henred. Deliver the dropped item to the Deathwill Castle. Just throw it over the wall.”
Henred nodded begrudgingly.
