BOOOOOOOOM!
As Alexander said before, the timing was perfect.
Perfectly against everything he wanted.
He stepped in and slammed into the Nox, throwing him back towards Alucard and Commander Huo.
At the same time, those two men finished off the Nox clones they were facing and turned around to rush towards the younger group to save them.
However, what they found was a Nox clone conveniently flying at their faces for them to kill!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
The origin of those sounds didn't need to be mentioned.
Once the two of them understood the situation, they saved the questioning for later and directly destroyed the Nox clone with their combined strength, not giving it a single opportunity to counterattack.
And that was how the battle ended.
The four original members of the party regrouped, while Alexander stayed with his back leaned against the entrance wall.
It was clear they needed to mourn the loss of those two men who died, and while he wanted to use this moment to run away, Damien was clear on the personalities of these four.
The second he put on a mysterious facade, they'd use their information networks to dig up every tidbit recorded about him throughout the universe.
If people of their status took actions like that, those watching them would also become aware of Alexander's presence, and it would blow up into something beyond his control.
So he waited for them to finish dealing with personal matters and greet him.
Eventually, they did, with Alucard at the head.
"First and foremost, I am Alucard, an instructor from Hidden Death Valley. We sincerely thank you for your aid in this matter."
Alucard stepped up and gave a formal bow of respect towards a man he considered at his same level, suppressing his curiosity for now.
"Hmm…"
Alexander looked at each of them before turning his eyes back to Alucard.
In their eyes, he was scrutinizing them arrogantly, but in his mind…
lightsΝοvel 'Wow…instructor, huh? Did this guy grow into his position insanely fast, or is he lying to me right now?'
He steadily raided Mystic Realms and reaped rewards, but right before he reached a point where eyes would be directed at him, he went over the age of 500!
His name was etched into the Legacy Board, but it was barely visible amidst the countless names around the same position.
"I truly hope we can become friends, however, it seems you do not feel the same," Alucard continued with a wry smile.
"Indeed, I've been trying my best to hide myself, you know? If it wasn't for this extraneous situation, you wouldn't have seen a hint of me for a couple thousand more years."
"That is…oddly specific."
"Consider it a hint."
"A hint at…?"
"If I told you that, it wouldn't be a hint anymore, would it?"
As the two conversed, Luciel and Lucifer kept their eyes peeled as if they were trying to discover every little piece of information about this strange man that they could.
In reality, they were older than their strength gave them credit for.
They'd been alive since the previous Great War, and had even participated in it.
However, because of suspicions about the Nox's potential return, they purposefully suppressed their strength and chose not to increase their levels.
Because if the Nox truly came back, there needed to be strong people who could still fight on the frontlines, unlike the Demigods who were forced to sit still and watch as chaos ensued.
It was incredibly fascinating for them to find an existence like Alexander who they couldn't read, and Damien knew that as well.
To drive their curiosity just a bit more, to give them some motivation to become the figures he expected them to become, he intentionally veiled his aura in just the right amount of mystery.
Yet again, he was acting for the sake of his amusement.
But his conversation with Alucard still continued productively.
He managed to gain their favor, as well as a promise that his identity wouldn't be revealed or investigated.
And afterward, he agreed to join them on the rest of their expedition.
After all, while the Nox being was destroyed, his presence hinted at a far grander scheme.
Not just concerning the owner of the labyrinth, but also a potential experimental Nox force being created within the universe's bounds.
No matter what, it needed to be found and destroyed.
Even Damien agreed on this much.
Though, he wasn't that concerned.
Because while this was a problem in the current era, it wasn't prevalent at all in the future…
…or was it?
