Artemia walked into the city with light steps and as soon she entered, everything around her darkened almost as if she got swallowed in the mouth of a giant beast.
On the outside she appeared to be calm like the surface of a lake but not on the inside, she was quite anxious wondering where she would appear and finally appeared before him.
''Finally, you arrived I was tired of waiting.'' The dragon said while looking down at her. Artemia shuddered and unconsciously took a step back.
'Why out of everything she had to meet him?'
The situation seemed hopeless.
''What are you doing here Bahamut?''
Artemia asked while cautiously stepping back. Out of everything she was expecting to see, facing this dragon was none of them. He was the one responsible for the apocalypse w although it was because they opened the world door, there was no denying that this beast was responsible for the tragedy.
"I was waiting for you I have a proposal for you." Bahamut's shadow ignored her question but instead focused on his goal.
''I'm not interested.'' Artemia flatly refused, she did not want to hear anything from Bahamut as no matter what the other party would say it would be poisonous.
''Oh?" Bahamut's shadow said before attacking.
Swoosh!
And even though Artemia was on guard, fearing something like this to happen and yet despite all her preparations she still got stuck in the chest as she flew across the hall before her body violently slammed onto the wall at the other end of the big hall.
A burning sensation radiated from the princess's chest. A fist clamped onto her skin, nails digging deep into the flesh in search of relief from this agony. Surely this pain would stop soon. Surely there's an end to this. She wasn't so sure and ready to give up because of it. Several voices echoed through her head. Some tell her everything will be fine, others tell her it won't be.
She took a deep breath, then another, and then another. A state of calm returned to Artemia's mind for a moment. But she desperately kept her mind busy with mindless tasks, but nothing helped to ignore the pain.
''Tell me how did you remove your curse? Is this the boy doing?"
''Cough! Cough! Don't ask questions to which you already have the answer to. You are nothing but a shadow of the real thing so stop acting as if you're a big deal.''
While saying those words Artemia stood up and wiped away the blood coming out of her mouth, she was afraid thinking about what she would do if this was the real deal but fortunately for her and unfortunately for the shadow of Bahamut, he was not the real Bahamut, probably a shadow born from the curse previously on her soul, he must have escaped somehow when Alex was curing her and he was now here to do a last ditch effort, to accomplish something before disappearing like a dying amber.
She confirmed this after she got attacked, under the real Bahamut's attack, her soul would have been crushed. She knew this better than anybody. But after confirming that this thing was not strong as the real thing she was furious at herself more than anything, furious that she got easily scared and now she wanted to vent and there it happened to be something she wanted to test.
The ground started freezing as she got up from the hole the impact of her body crashing into the wall generated.

Immediately upon seeing the name of this unique ability, Artemia felt like it was an ability she had a long time ago, she instinctively understand how to use it and the shadow of Bahamut happened to have launched an attack that moment, a more powerful and devasting attack, however, everything, even the dream world came to standstill when Artemia called out the name of her unique ability.
''Frozen World!''
He was annihilated and Artemia was forcibly brought back to reality, too exhausted because of this ability, she immediately fell into a deep slumber.
°°°°°°
Back to Alex's location.
He was still processing what the Slaughter King had said, his condition was a bit unusual if he must say but when the other party confirmed this again and again, he could only acknowledge the man's condition.
''Good let's start, I don't have much time left.'' The Slaughter King beamed after getting Alex's promise, his left hand moved like a whip before suddenly piercing his chest.
Alex could feel something being forcibly transferred from the other party inside his body, it was an extremely painful process, so painful that it cost him his vision.
Alex's vision went blurry as tears filled his eyes. Biting the pain was barely an option as agonizing cramps seemed to crush his insides from within. Every part of the Black Prince's being ached for an answer to this feeling of misery and any answer that could bring relief was one worth considering. For a second he considered listening to his body which was telling him to stop, to just give up and drop to the floor.
He let out a moaning yelp, part desperation, and part determination. He had two options: fight or give up. But he was no longer able or perhaps simply unwilling to deal with the pain right now. Ready to block out both the pain and the world he closed his eyes and patiently waited.
Buzzz!
Finally, after what seemed to be an eternity Alex was forced to open his eyes z the pain subsided and he heard a buzzing sound, following a notification sound.
[New ability acquired: Unique ability (Enhanced) inherited from ××××××××× Nickname The Slaughter King.]
''That's good, have a nice journey and don't forget your promise.'' The Slaughter King said before his body started to slowly fade away. It was a shame they his time had arrived and he could not stay behind and watch over this interesting boy. Still, he didn't regret it as he was able to meet someone this outstanding in his final hours.
'Be blessed.' He played, he who didn't believe in any God. He hoped for a less hellish road for Alex, may he reach his final destination without changing too much.
''And one last thing, once in the Higher World never tell anyone that you have 3 different bloodlines, especially the Asura's and the Dragon's bloodline, you will be hunted down.'' The Slaughter King left behind this last message, a warning which was engraved deeper in Alex's soul.
With this Alex was forced out, he didn't meet the girls (Silveria and Nyx) before waking up in the real world.
Alex got up from the bed and went to freshen up and after he was done, sitting on the edge of the bed he summoned his status window. It was time for some experiments.
