Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

It's not that Olivia is weak, but she is just a healer; even with Cultivation, she is still barely able to fight. With Zold on her side, they should fare better no matter where they were.

'Vesa, what race do you think this Hellgate made contact with?' Alex asked in his mind.

[Based on the description, the Ifrit race should be the closest, but this is only based on the symbolism used that Emily showed me.]

[There are a few other races that use this, too; I need more information to be sure.]

Alex didn't ask further; he already knew what to do now. After some thought, he stopped and took out another awe cube, from inside which a fairy came out.

He looked around, confused, as he suddenly found himself in the forest.

Alex then said, "Tell your queen, does she know the race called Ifrit?"

"My Queen? Ifrit?" The man asked, still confused about how everything progressed.

But Alex ignored this, gave him a direction, then left the man.

On the way, William asked, "You can put living beings inside that cube?"

"This one is different from the one you have; you will know more later. For now, prepare yourself for a fight."

Alex took out a mana rifle and then threw it toward William. He then told him how to use it. William easily understood how to use it since he had used something similar.

As they got closer, they could hear fighting sounds. Alice, Lily, and Aurora were fighting while Blaire and Sasha shot from the side.

At first, Alice wanted to use Aurora's ability to create illusions to slip through the portal; unfortunately, although it's useful against humans, for the skeletons, it has no use.

The undead are only programmed to attack nearby creatures; they don't use their senses to feel their presence. This quickly turned into a fight.

In the middle, Lily came and joined the fight. She was late because she needed to make sure her comrade was alright.

BANG! CLASH! BOOM!

Alice, Lily, Blaire, and Sasha were fighting against the skeletons, while Aurora fought against the man with the blade. Despite her realistic illusion, the man's instincts were so sharp.

Somehow, her attacks kept getting deflected by the man, no matter what kind of illusion she cast.

She tried creating an illusion, baiting him to attack forward, then using the gap to stab him from behind, but it always hit something before it reached the target.

"Just give up already. You will never beat us, beauty," the man said with a smirk on his face. He then added, "Let's have some fun instead, hahaha."

His expression made Aurora feel disgusted; she didn't reply to the man. Instead, she proceeded to launch a barrage of attacks.

Alex started thinking about what the mana ability was; after some consideration, he realized the man could create an invisible partial shield to protect his body.

It can be used to block attacks from any angle, but he needs to expect the attack first.

The reason he thought this was because there were some wounds on the man's body when Aurora attacked non-vital parts at weird angles.

Slash!

Aurora's dagger slashed through the man's torso, but instead of grimacing in pain, the man seemed to enjoy the situation.

He raised his blade toward Aurora's neck, but the sword phased through her body as she disappeared before reappearing some distance away.

At this moment, BANG!

A bullet pierced through the air. It targeted the man's temple, and just inches away, it hit something invisible, like a wall.

Then Alex appeared at the man's side. His ember-shift hammer hit him straight in the chest, giving out a cracking sound. The hammer then disappeared as he gripped the man's neck, smacking him to the ground.

But even after all this, the blade didn't drop from the man's hand; like not connected with his body, the hand moved by itself, targeting Alex from the back.

Alex could dodge, but he decided not to since he didn't want to waste time. The blade pierced through his body, but he didn't even flinch; his grip on the man's neck intensified, and at the same time, his pupils glinted red.

Green energy started coming out from the man's body; he started turning into a husk before Alex released him. Without saying a word, he captured the man into the awe cube.

Alex planned to use him as the first experiment to be the first person captured. He will let Vesa interrogate him and then force him under a slave contract.

"Where did you put him?" Aurora asked. She was surprised by his sudden intervention but felt relieved that Alex had defeated the man easily.

"Let's talk later," Alex replied, as he pulled the blade out and then put it inside his storage ring.

He looked through his shoulder at the many skeletons, then back to the entrance of the Mother Tree.

After some consideration, he decided it was better to enter the Mother Tree than waste time helping them clean the skeletons.

He then addressed Aurora, "Let's check the Mother Tree.

Oh yeah, use your illusion ability on me; make me look like the man with the blade while you make yourself invisible."

Aurora was confused at first but then realized what he wanted to do.

"I can make you look like him and even change the voice that he heard, but you will still need to talk like that man."

"Don't worry, just do it, I will take care of the rest." Alex wasn't worried since Vesa had already started the session with the man with the blade.

For any strange question, he can just let Vesa ask the man. And it's not like he plans to ask many things; he just wants to find out their goal, what the portal is, and how to look for Olivia and Zold.

Entering through the portal, the bangle on Alex started giving out a glow. Looking at it, Alex quickly realized he was too brash.

There are protection barriers before reaching the Mother Tree; without this bangle, he would be trapped in the illusion barrier.

Looking at his side, he could see Aurora already started moving in random directions; she was clearly inside the illusion barrier now.
