Alexander jumped from the balcony without delay

  Rustin's face turned pale

  While Gray's eyes widened in fear

  "Don't worry, Gray, we'll land safely." Alexander issued a reassurance while in the air

  What about me...Rustin turned his eyes to Alexander in despair

  Alexander smiled at him. "You're strong. I'm sure you'll be fine."

  For the first time in his life, Rustin felt unhappy about receiving praise from someone else

  Alexander let go of Rustin's waist and left him to land himself

  “Damn you...” Even though he expected this thing, he was still shocked by this betrayal

  After Alexander was twenty meters from the ground, he used his free hand to grab the saw and plant it in the wall to slow his fall.

  They were able to land safely and without any problems

  Alexander threw Gray to the ground and started walking towards Rustin

  Rustin was staring at the sky while he was on the ground in the middle of a human-shaped hole

  Alexander took him by the hand and helped him up. "This is not the time to think about the meaning of life. You should go find a safe place."

  Rustin got up with Alexander's help, but he was surprised by his words. "You won't come with us?"

  "Okay..." Alexander rubbed his neck. “If I go with you, I will cause unnecessary trouble.”

  Alexander scanned his surroundings as he looked through the window before leaving the apartment

  He didn't see any body

  All there is is damage to the surrounding buildings

  This has one explanation, which is that the people responsible for this attack are here to achieve a goal

  Attacking the academy is just a means to achieve their goal

  Who are the crazy people who don't have enough brain cells to do this?

  He can easily figure out who is responsible for this mess

  Vitae energy is the most unstable type of energy, so people who use this energy are mentally unstable

  This energy would drive its users to extreme actions that harmed those around them, and often harmed themselves in the process.

  People who use Vitae energy are the group most vulnerable to becoming hollows

  Therefore, the reputation of this energy was the worst in the multiple worlds

  The energy of despair...this is the name given to the Vitae energy

  It is a force derived from pain and suffering, and it requires death and destruction

  It is like wine that does not quench the thirst of the thirsty

  No matter how much you drink, you will never be able to get enough

  “Go…” Alexander closed his eyes and pointed at Rustin and Gray

  Rustin nodded, grabbed Gray's hand, and started running

  Alexander kept his eyes closed for a while, then put his hands over his eyes

  After twenty seconds, he removed his palms and opened his eyes

  His irises dilated and turned purple with black lines emanating from his pupils

  He looked around cautiously and stopped in a certain direction

  A crazy smile appeared on his face. " I found you..."

  Alexander disappeared from his place without leaving a trace

  Seconds later, he appeared on the roof of a building hundreds of meters away from his previous location

  He was following the traces of Vitae energy left behind by the person who attacked the academy

  Despite all the powers granted by Vitae energy, its instability made it easy to trace

  This is why users of Vitae energy had difficulty escaping from hunters and assassins who specialize in chasing and tracking their enemies.

  "Hmm..." Alexander's purple eyes moved towards a dilapidated building that was close to the area where his target was located.

  There were two slight traces of aura emanating from there

  There seemed to be two people hiding there... Alexander frowned as he thought about what to do

  But after much thought he decided to leave it to luck

  If these two can escape, it will be for the best

  Alexander stood on the edge of the roof and began jumping on walls and roofs with inhuman speed

  It only took moments for him to reach the location where his target was

  His enemy was right in front of him

  But the effects of the auras are still present inside the building. Alexander's eyes returned to normal as he stood on the roof of a tall building

  “Are those idiots hiding there?” He didn't know why they chose this bad place out of all the places around them

  The roof of the building was destroyed and it was easy for anyone standing at the right height to see inside

  “This!...” Alexander’s eyes widened when he saw the two people hiding in that building

  Sella was lying on the ground, bleeding from her waist, while Louise was sitting on her knees, trying to bandage Sella.

  "Why them of all people." Alexander hit his forehead in distress

  He couldn't let Louise die

  There was still a lot of information he had to get from this girl

  Such as her relationship with Thomas Dior, and most important of all is the treasure that Thomas stole from the earth

  I have to get her out of this place....With this thought Alexandre rushes towards Louise's location

  -----------------------

  “Hold on a minute…” Louise was trying to bandage a wound on the side of Sella’s waist

  Sella gritted her teeth in pain, but looked at Louise with some reproach. “You should have gone when I told you to.”

  “Do you want me to leave you facing that person alone?”

  “I can face him alone.”

  A voice came from the entrance of the building. " I can see this clearly."

  Louise grabbed her weapon that was beside her and took a fighting stance

  But she was surprised to see that Alexander was the person standing at the door

  "Mr. Alexander?..." Louise didn't know why Alexander was here

  "You should get out of here..."

  Alexander moved towards them, but suddenly stopped and turned back

  He couldn't help but let out a tired sigh

  His senses were telling him that danger was only meters away from him

  With this distance, he wouldn't be able to make Louise and Silla escape in time

  “Mr. Alexander—” Louise wanted to approach him

  But a huge explosion occurred, completely destroying the wall overlooking the street

  A man wearing a black robe with red stripes appeared before them, and a long sword in his hand

  Alexander narrowed his eyes as he looked at this man with a frown

  This man had dark blue-black hair

  But this person's face is close to someone he knows

  This suspicious man looks like Edward

  His hunter's instinct was telling him so

  Alexander turned his attention to a masked figure standing behind this swordsman

  This masked man was wearing a black cloak covering his body, bandages on his hands, and a white mask covering all of his face except for his blue eyes.

  There was no mortal danger emanating from this man, but Alexander could still feel the raging Vitae energy coming from this person.

  There were no monsters around

  But this did not make him feel reassured because the lack of a monster with this man was a serious indicator of the level he had reached

  The blue-haired swordsman smiled as he placed his hand on his chest like a gentleman. "I am Merlin Creed..."

  Suddenly the masked man spread his arms

  The masked man's shadow began to expand and formed a circle with a diameter of ten meters. Merlin and the masked man stood in the center of the circle made of the masked man's shadow.

  Grrrr!

  A ferocious growl emerged from within the shadows as the head of a giant wolf emerged from the shadow at the feet of Merlin and the masked man, and soon the wolf's entire body appeared.

  “This!...” Louise and Sella looked at this with awe and horror

  Only Alexander remained calm as he looked at this carefully

  When a person who follows the Metamorphosis' path reaches the fourth level and passes through the Heaven's Gate, he turns into a Shadow Master

  Where he can keep the monsters he controls under his shadow

  Of course, the amount of monsters he could keep in his shadow varied from one person to another depending on the individual's level of strength and prowess

  As your level increases, you will be able to control stronger monsters and keep a larger number of them in your shadow

  Having an entire army of monsters everywhere you went was terrifying

  He didn't expect his enemy to be at such a high level

  Even this man named Merlin is at least at the third level

  Merlin and the masked man stood on top of the wolf, which was emitting a feral aura

  Merlin took a step forward, smiling cheerfully. "Alexander Ford, we're here for you..."

  “…” Sella and Louise turned their eyes to Alexander in astonishment

  They realize that these two men in front of them are the people who attacked the academy

  But they do not know what this man meant by this statement

  “For me?...” Alexander feigned shock and looked at them suspiciously. “If all this is what you want, then we could have met in a café instead of making this scene.”

  "Unfortunately, this opportunity was not possible..." Merlin shook his head with some sarcasm

  “Then why are you here for me?”

  “We are here to give you an irreplaceable opportunity...” Merlin pointed towards Alexander. “We will give you strength.”

  "strength?" Alexander asked in amazement

  "This is correct." Merlin's smile widened when he saw Alexander listening intently to him. “We will give you the power to regain everything you lost, the position others took from you, the respect you lost because those around you despised you. Joining us is all it takes.”

  Merlin extended his hand forward in a symbolic gesture of his desire to help Alexander

  Alexander lowered his head in deep thought

  "What do you think?..." Merlin asked, pressing Alexander in an attempt to get him to accept this offer

  "I have one question." Alexander raised his head towards Merlin with a prickly gaze

  Merlin's confidence increased when he saw that Alexander did not reject his offer, because this indicates that he does not reject the idea of ??joining them

  "what's your question"

  Alexander pointed his finger at the masked man standing behind Merlin. “Was this man working in magic tricks show?”
