Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

That is why he put the parasite inside Derrick.

This will introduce a third party that tries to take over his body, making them fight each other.

Seizing the opportunity, Alex took out his awe cube again, trying to capture Derrick. But the dark red light shot out from his body, yielding the same result.

Alex clicked his tongue with annoyance, "Vesa still not making progress from that one."

[No king, he keeps quiet, but I can try to do it aggressively, although he will not survive the process then.]

'Do it.' Alex ordered from his mind.

The more time wasted, the more danger Olivia and Zold face.

Looking at the transforming Derrick, Alex then asked in Ifrit language, "Did you come for the tree?"

"A human that knows our language?" Derrick replied with a beastly voice.

'So they are really the Ifrit race.' Alex thought while saying, "Surprised? So what do you need the tree for?"

"Why should I tell you?"

"Don't you feel curious about where I learned your language? Actually, I learned it from your kind. He also sent me here to take this tree."

"Elthazar sent you here? Don't lie to me. No one should have known the fairy tree exists here."

'Fairy tree? So this is related to the fairy race?' Alex thought to himself while he smirked.

"How else do you think I can enter here? You should know how protected this place is."

"Hmph! The outer gate is open for everyone as long as they know the code and pay the cost. Don't you lie to me? Who is the spy?" The entity replied back.

He believes someone is behind Alex since that is the only way he could enter this place and learn the Ifrit language.

In reality, Alex learned this from Vesa just a moment ago.

'Outer gate? Everyone can open it. Is that some kind of universe transit system?' Alex asked himself. He then asked Vesa for information about the Fairy tree.

[The fairy tree is very important for the fairy race; many things are unknown about it since the Fairy race keeps it hidden. Rumor says that it's the main source of their power.]

[Based on how things progress, I speculate the fairy race progenitor is also defeated; either she was killed and reincarnated, or she was captured. The secret of the fairy race then becomes public.]

"I will tell you the spy's identity, but not here. Give me the code for your place, and then we will talk there. You should know why," Alex replied with a confident tone, while in reality, he didn't even know what he was talking about.

But the Ifrit believes what he said; at this moment, he has already succeeded in overwhelming the parasite, gaining control over the left hand.

The hand then moved, carrying symbols in a circular manner. There are twelve symbols in total, separated just like a clock.

The symbols at first looked weird to Alex's eyes, but after some thought, he realized they looked similar to zodiac symbols in his world, but they had some modifications on them.

[King, this symbol is used as a cardinal direction. Each of these corresponds to a massive star system that could be seen anywhere as long as you are in the universe.]

'So like north, south, east, and west, but how do I use this symbol?'

Despite wondering about this, Alex doesn't show it on his face. He still looks confident, like someone who knows what he is doing.

"Go back now, I will bring the tree later."

The creature hesitated for a moment before finally giving in.

"I don't know who you really are, but I don't want to get involved in politics. I am just doing my job. I will tell my lord the Fairy tree is in Elthazar's hands."

After saying this, Derrick's body turned into a dry husk of flesh.

'Vesa.'

[Yes King, this is because he emptied out his life force energy, I am sure this outer gate is using our technology.]

Alex could feel anger coming from Vesa.

'I will need to look into the ritual that Hellgate used to find a way to use this symbol.'

He then erased the symbol on the ground, making Aurora feel puzzled.

"What is that symbol?" Aurora came out from her invisibility since the situation was now safe.

"Believe me, it's better if you don't know; for now, let's go back; your mother is still fighting the king," Alex said, reminding Aurora that the situation is still dire.

Outside the secret realm, the skeletons now turn back into a pile of bones. With Derrick dead, no one is sustaining the undead.

Sasha was there sitting with Blaire, and so was William, but Lily and Alice were nowhere to be seen.

"Did they go to the king?" Alex asked.

Looking at him coming out from the portal made them feel relieved.

When the skeletons all died at the same time, they already thought that Alex and Aurora finished the job.

"No, Lily and Alice were going out protecting the settlement. Do you forget the real plan?" William asked. Meanwhile, Aurora went to Blaire and Sasha. As Blaire asks if she is alright.

"I see. Let's go then." Alex replied.

He really forgot about this because his mind was worried about Olivia and Zold.

Since the beast king and other beasts are not teleported to the sentinel place, it doesn't mean the berserk drug Alice gives them automatically disappears.

Experience the best on mvl _emp _yr.

This still creates a beast wave attacking the settlement. And the wave is now even stronger with all the beast kings present there.

Looking back at Blaire and the others, William asked, "Don't you need to bring them?"

"Left them alone. They will go to Lily and the others soon. We are not going there."

"Where are we going then?"

"Of course, to the source of the problem," Alex replied.

In the middle of the forest, to Freya's surprise, the portal stopped growing bigger, and Belthazar seemed annoyed.

"It seems playtime is over now," Belthazar said as he pointed his finger toward Aimu.

A black-red energy started gathering, creating a big sphere before it shot out like a laser toward Aimu.
