Chapter 68 Fusion Impossible: Mysterious Intruder (1/2)

Actually speaking, Alex originally had no idea on how to do congeal an Abyss Core, but it seems like his Elderitch body already had an idea on what to do.

As such, Alex decided to just get it on with absorption.

Alex kept his eyes closed as he stayed focused on absorbing Abyss Energy.

Alex knew that for him to reach the Grade 3, he must be able to congeal a Core made up of Abyss Energy inside his body.

Once he successfully congeals his Abyss Core, not only will Alex gain access to more spells, his overall bodily strength and power will also be improved.

But just one hour after Alex started the absorption, he suddenly felt a powerful presence rushing towards their location.

”Who is it?” Alex bristled as his eyes shot wide open.

Alex's body was tense, as he could feel that the presence approaching their location was an extremely powerful being.

Alex was saying 'being' since he was not sure whether this new presence was a Human or a Monster.

If it was a Monster, Alex already have some ideas to talk peacefully to it.

But if it was a Human, well… Alex can just say that it will not be good for either of them.

”Someone's coming.” To Alex's no surprise, Alina also felt this intruder. ”This intruder… seems strong.”

”Yes, it's strong indeed.” Alex muttered as he patted Alina's right shoulder.

”!”

Alina jumped a little from the skin contact, but she did not do anything to shove his hand off. Alex smiled after seeing this, blatantly ignoring the snickering Asteria in the background.

”So, what happened with the golden girl?” Alex inquired, as he did not notice what happened earlier. 'Is she sti- oh, she passed out again. What did you do to her?”

”It's a long story that I will tell you later.” Alina replied with a slight twitch in her eyes. ”For now, we should worry about intruder.”

”Well, the first thing that we should do is to hide that woman first.” Alex said while pointing his index finger at the golden woman. ”No matter what kind of creature the intruder is, it will not be better for it to see a woman like this.”

”Got it.” Alina said as she waved her hands, making the golden woman disappear.

Alex could some trails of dark smoke after the golden woman disappeared, indicating that what Alina did was something new.

”Oh, that's a neat trick of yours. How did you manage to do that?” Alex neutrally said as he tried to not show emotions in his voice.

”Ah, I just combined my Dark Magic and my Esper Ability!” Alina enthusiastically replied as she gave Alex a smile.

”Ok…” Alex found himself somewhat speechless from what he heard.

”Is something like that even possible?” Alex thought to himself as he waited for Alina to talk more. ”I certainly… did not expect that.”

”Actually,” Alina droned on as she seemed to not notice what Alex was thinking about. ”I never thought that my Dark Magic was actually compatible with my Weak Space Manipulation. I only found it out when I got the Dark Magic Tome earlier!”

”After I fused with the Dark Magic Tome, it immediately reacted with my Esper Ability, which resulted in me gaining some new abilities!” From the way that Alina looked right now, it was quite obvious that she was happy with her situation.

”….” Alex tried his best to not show it, but he was feeling slightly jealous with what happened to Alina.

Earlier, Alex actually tried to combine or fuse his Abyss Magic with his EM Wave Manipulation.
