Chapter 177 - 175: Illusionary Battlefield
Everyone present was mesmerized by Luna's beautiful smile, whether it was men or women.
Alex quickly gets hold of himself, he smiled toward the girls before leaving. Damien was still surprised by Luna accepting Alex's invitation. Even though he speculated that there must be something between the two, it was only speculation, and judging by the way Luna smiled just now, what he feared the most was going to happen.
''I need to do something,' Damien mumbled before leaving the class.
Maria and Sakuya started to tease Luna on their way towards the Magic Classroom. Gracier joined the two.
•••••
On the way back to his villa, Alex was chatting with Silveria, the latter was asking Alex a question.
〖Master, why did you try to provoke Damien ?〗
'As you may have sensed it, his gaze was full of hostility toward me. The reason is because of Luna. He's treating her as an object that belongs to him, she's not an object and she doesn't belong to anybody. As he has already regarded me as an enemy, I decided to do the same by declaring that I accepted, I'll be going after Luna, I'll get her.' Alex explained before sighing.
'At the start, I may have not planned to date Luna but now it's different.'
〖Is it because of Maria's condition?〗Silveria asked.
'Yes but not entirely. I don't know if you have noticed it but some part of my memories are blurred, no missing would be the correct words.' Alex explained while leaving the academy, he decided to tour the capital on a later date, maybe with Luna, or Gracier.
Silveria nodded at Alex's words. Indeed as he said, some part of his memories were missing, she wondered why, she considered asking her master why but she refrained from doing so as she was afraid that this question may bring some unwanted memories if the latter had suffered some kind of trauma, and due to this trauma, unconsciously he had chosen to seal some of his memories.
However, from Alex's words, it doesn't seem like it was the case.
〖What happened?〗Silveria could not help but ask, she was curious.
Alex heaved a long sigh before answering,
'It is because of amnesia. My parents died in a car accident you already know that but you don't know that I was with them when it happened. Even though I survived, I stayed in the coma for almost one year and when I woke up, I had forgotten some part of my memories, I forgot everything except my name and my parents, I don't even remember the name of my elementary school. Doctors said it was partial amnesia due to the violent shock my head experienced in the car crash, that my memories would come back, it may come back in a month or years. Unfortunately, these memories never came back even after I reincarnated.'
〖I see so that's why. I would have never thought it was because of something like that. However, what does Luna come to do in this? Because from your words she may know something, she may be related to your past.〗Silveria asked a little bit puzzled.
'In the past, I didn't think too much about it, however recently I started to think about her unusual behaviors and I concluded that she and I, know each other. I have this feeling, and recently I got stronger whenever I see her. I don't know if it's true or not but Maria must be aware of something it's why she suggested that I must start with Luna first. I'm not that dense and even if I have interacted with her few times, I noticed some facts, she treated me differently, look at me differently, especially today when I invited her, she was happy as if she had been waiting for this. Well, everything will become clear after our date.'
Alex said before entering the Blue Haven Villa.
He directly went toward his chamber.
Meanwhile, Silveria was thinking that her Master's words were right on the mark. Luna knew him. Shaking her head she announced,
〖Master, go eat and after you're done, we will start the training.〗
Alex nodded before he asked his maid to prepare him something to eat. After he finished eating, he went back to his room, lay on his bed, and closed his eyes.
'Let's start.' he said.
Silveria smiled before clapping her hands together.
Immediately, Alex's consciousness got teleported inside a world. This world was different from the one he usually trains in.
Alex appeared in front of a forest, this forest was gigantic, it seemed that there was no end to this forest. There was a sun in the sky, he could feel the wind caressing his face, he could feel the solid ground under his feet. It was like he got teleported to another world, this seemed too real, not an illusion.
''Where is this?" He asked while looking around, eyes filled with vigilance. He had the feeling that the forest in front of him was dangerous, it was like a sleeping dangerous beast, one wrong move you will die.
Suddenly, Alex heard a giggle followed by the appearance of Silveria, floating in the air with her arms crossed haughtily looking down on the world like some kind of Goddess, she proclaimed.
''Welcome in the Illusionary Battlefield, this is my self-created little world. This is the first Level: The Endless Forest. Your training is about to start. Because it's not your real body, you can revive after death, however, there's a penalty, every you die, the gravity inside the forest will increase by 100, and what you gained will be lost. Mind you, you will not gain any level but your stats may increase. This is random, though. To clear this level you'll need to kill the boss in the depth of the Endless Forest. Without further ado, let's the fun begin.''
Alex did not have the time to ask any questions before being hurtled into the Endless Forest at an extremely frightening speed. He silently cursed Silveria's shameless behavior, she must be enjoying it.
Indeed, Silveria was enjoying it, after sending Alex into the Endless Forest with a rather brutal method, she was grinning, when suddenly her expression contorted for a moment before she smiled again as if nothing happened.
''Ops! I forget to tell him that the gravity is around 150 Kg. Well, it doesn't matter, fufufu I shall see I long he will survive.''
•••••
Back on Alex's side.
Just as he entered the forest, he tried to stabilize his fall to peacefully land, however, due to the sudden shift in gravity, his head almost collided against a gigantic tree, he hastily used his arms to not crash against the tree.
Because the gravity was still at a bearable level, he managed to safely land on the ground after almost colliding against the tree trunk.
Just as he set foot on the ground, he heard a whooshing sound, Alex immediately sidestepped on his left to avoid a sudden attack.
Looking at the culprit of this sudden attack, his eyes couldn't help but widened. It was five meters long green python, above the python head was a small white window, It was written : [Level 25 Green Python].
''What? A level 25 monster at the edge of the forest? You must be joking with me.'' Alex cursed under his breath before throwing a knife at the startled monster.
Even though the monster was stunned that its surprise attack had fallen, its instinct was still sharp, he quickly avoided the fast knife and at the same time his eyes turned vicious, glaring at Alex, he spat a green venom in his direction.
Kicking the ground Alex dodged the Green Python venom, the green venom melted the ground with a sii sound. Alex's scalp tingled, fortunately, he had dodged if not his skin may have melted.
Whoosh !!
Two Black Bettie's were thrown at the green python, the green python was ready to dodge however suddenly his body stiffened because without turning Alex aimed his silver gun to his left and fired.
Bang!
There was a thud sound, something heavy seemed to have fallen onto the ground, and the green python in front of Alex was injured, he started thrashing left and right destroying everything in his sight, he seemed extremely enraged by something.
Alex sneered, he did not hide his contempt.
''How cunning of you. Unfortunately, your little plot has fallen because you meet me. Another Green Python was waiting patiently in ambush to give the coup de grâce. It must be a female python, maybe it's your wife?"
Alex's words made the thrashing python act more violently, Alex chuckled before finishing the green python.
Just after the python was dead, his body disappeared, it was like what you experience in-game.
''Seriously?" Alex wondered before he suddenly jumped back.
Bang!
In the place where he was previously standing, a stone landed there.
''Gyi~ Gyi~''
''Gyi~....."
From the other side of the forest, five monsters suddenly appeared, it was goblins, however, unlike normal goblin whose skin is green, the five goblins in front of him skins were red.
''Don't tell me they are all rare species?" Alex asked nobody in particular before sighing.
He used Xerox to create another silver gun, he was ready for battle. Coming from another side were a group of another monster.
Without a doubt, things were not going to be peaceful for him, yet Alex was grinning, eyes full of battle intent.
''Let's see how far I can go before experiencing my first death,'' he muttered.
