Gacha Sovereign
chapter-323

After settling everything, he finally flew toward Nemu Forest. Unbeknownst to him, the moment he left the sect, there were two people that had decided to leave.

They were Song Yu and Putri. Putri decided to go on her own journey. She wanted to get stronger so Alex would not be ashamed by having a disciple like her. After all, their master and disciple relationship was her fault.

Although Alex did not really mind about that and only worried her well being, Putri could not accept it. She wanted to try her luck in the Northern Continent.

It may be foolish for her to go to that place while carrying Alex's unique sword-spear technique. But there was no written manual for that. As long as she did not tell anyone about it, the technique would be safe.

She had prepared for torture if anyone wanted to get this. She would reveal her wind element first before revealing her weapon.

Unfortunately, she did not know that Song Yu also decided to go back to the Northern Continent. After strengthening her resolve, she decided to go back.

If she waited for another year, Alex might already be out of her reach. It was not funny if she was the one receiving it in just three years after becoming his Senior Sister. And there was also Maxwell's advice.

So, she decided to prepare for it herself. And tried to know the truth about Alex's VIP card. After she bought the promised medicinal ingredients, she left the sect.

Charya, who knew her two disciples had left the sect, could only sigh.

…

A few days later, Alex finally reached Nemu Forest.

"Young Master." Leoz, Fabio, Vera, Jeanne, and Greg immediately welcomed him.

They had been informed that he would arrive, so they stopped hunting and welcomed him.

"Thank you for your hard work." Alex smiled at them. He already summoned Anna and Anya as soon as they arrived at Nemu Forest. "I am sorry, but I want us to spread out and search for the special realm that my master left behind.

"I will soon make a breakthrough to Martial Lord, and I want to use this realm to hide the golden lightning tribulation."

"Understood." Leoz nodded. He then looked at Anya.

"?!" Alex was confused.

"Alex, if I may?" Anya asked him. Even though she had been openly seducing him, she never went over the line. She never stripped and tried to do the deed because she knew Alex would hate her if she did that.

She also asked for his permission for this. After all, unlike Anna, she had yet to gain a status in his heart.

Alex did not understand but still nodded his head.

After the confirmation, Anya's eyes became sharp. She asked, "How much have you explored this forest?"

"Around ten miles in radius," Leoz replied.

Anya pondered a little. She was picturing the map inside her head. It was not like she did not do anything in these two months.

Since all spirit cards were in Anna's hand, she borrowed Nelson's card from her. It was to investigate the regions on this continent. As an expert, Nelson was not focused only on the Zhou Kingdom. He also investigated the other regions for at least the basic things about them.

Anya knew about this and took advantage of it to learn everything she needed to learn.

"I presume you want to check the undead region, Alex?" Anya asked.

Alex nodded his head. He looked at Anya in confusion.

Anya then looked at the rest of the spirits, "We will make that region as the center since this place is the south of that region. Leoz will use his full speed to cover the north area. Vera and Fabio will cover the west while Jeanne and Greg cover the east.

"After you finished the search in the east and west area, immediately went to the north to assist Leoz. You will try to search the realm in Northeast and Northwest respectively. If we do not find anything, we will move farther to the north.

"Since Alex wants to observe the undead region, Anna and I will accompany him. We also have Sherry and Kyle with us. And Njomo! You cover their previous area of investigation. It might be a little big but you only need to make sure they did not leave anything behind. So, it would be pretty easy."

Alex was dumbfounded when he heard all of that. And even Njomo, who was in Shadow, suddenly came out and nodded his head repeatedly.

Alex was bewildered as he could not comprehend.

Anna suddenly came to him and said, "Her characters aside, she always comes up with the plan for us. Of course, you can stop her if you want."

Anna did not say Anya was smart since it would indirectly tell him that she was an idiot. After all, they were the exact opposite. She only told him that Anya was a strategist while she was not.

It was like what Anna said. After Anya finished instructing the others, she looked at Alex.

Alex did not have a problem with the plan, so he nodded his head. If he were given time, he would also come up with the same plan.

Anya just came up with that plan a bit faster than him.

Anya then looked at the spirits, "Go!"

They nodded and disappeared.

After they disappeared, it was time for them to move too. Alex took out Maxwell's token. Maxwell said it would react if they were near his realm, so it would be better to carry it so they could find it faster.

Although it was a shame that the spirits could not have this token, he did not mind that much. He pictured the special realm would be like Zwaka's place, so it might be easier to spot for his spirits.

Alex then flew toward the undead place. And the worst possible thing he happened.

When he arrived in the undead region, the token in his hand suddenly shone.

"…" Anna and Anya were surprised when they saw the token glowed. Alex was speechless.

At this point, they knew the special realm that Maxwell made back then was the undead region in front of them.

"Anna, Anya… We are not wrong, are we?" He asked in disbelief, clenching the token in his hand.

"I believe we are in the right place, Alex." Anna nodded.

"We do not need to call everyone right now. Let them search around the area to see no one close to us. After all, we can only enter this place later. We will need to know if it will be a full moon tonight or not." Anya immediately said.

Alex pondered a little. "We are going closer to scout the area with my Spirit Eyes. Prepare to fight."

"Understood." Anna and Anya nodded.

Alex activated his Spirit Eyes. Back then, he had not gotten used to his Spirit Eyes after he improved his eyes.

The current him could finally see the trace of a big sphere around them. It was pretty concealed that even his Spirit Eyes had a hard time to see it.

The sphere was really big. It was around three miles in radius, and judging from the energy sign, the fight would not be easy.

After Alex was able to discern the big sphere, he finally noticed that the terrain they saw was not the real terrain. Alex could see a shadow behind that terrain. They needed to go inside first before they knew what kind of place it would be.

They could only clearly see the edge, including the undead that was moving around the edge of the sphere. They could not see anything further than that.

There was another matter. When he tried to get closer to the special realm, the token started shaking in his hand. It was like a magnet that attracted each other. He then tried to get closer to the barrier.

There were two undead around it. Their appearance was close to a zombie but neater. They did not have that disgusting appearance. In fact, their appearance was close to a human. But there were a few noticeable things why Alex thought their appearance was close to a zombie.

It was because there were many wounds on their body, but they were still walking just fine. Their eyes were like dead fish, and they did not behave like a human.

When Alex arrived in front of the barrier, the undead noticed him. They walked toward him. Surprisingly, they walked toward him without touching the barrier. They stopped just in front of the barrier while gnashing their teeth again and again.

According to his Spirit Eyes, these two undead had 1-Star Martial Lord cultivation.

Anna took out her scythe while Anya took out her staff. Anya's staff was a golden color with butterfly wings at the top of the staff.

"Curse… No." Anya looked at them.

"It is a kind of forbidden technique that keeps death in this world. The technique forced the soul not to leave their body. But their body function should also stop and their body should start to root. But they did not, so there is only one possibility." Anna said as she was versed in this type of thing.

"What is that?"

"Alex, you can see the massive dark energy, right?"

"Yes."

"The forbidden technique is releasing this energy. From the look of it, the dark energy is keeping their body from rooting. But they could not come out of this barrier as this barrier is the only one that prevented the dark energy from leaking.

"They will lose their body if they have a shortage of this energy. I do not know how they can enter the barrier, but it should not be possible to open it. So, the forbidden technique kept releasing this massive energy until it was saturated.

"At that time, the barrier would leak the energy to the outside world, and the barrier would open for a little bit. And the barrier would open every full moon where the dark energy was on its peak." Anna explained.

Alex and Anya frowned. Alex raised the token and pointed it on the barrier.

Suddenly, a small hole appeared in the barrier.

"Roar!" The undead also noticed the small hole, and they immediately roared as hard as they could.

Alex was startled and took back his token.

"Alex, that…" Anna and Anya were shocked when they saw a small hole appear after Alex pointed his token to the barrier.

Alex was also speechless, but everything was clear. Alex affirmed in disbelief, "Yes. This must be the special realm, and this token is the key to open the barrier."

"Then, we should assemble everyone and start clearing this undead." Anna said.

Anya also agreed with her.

Alex nodded his head and took out everyone's card. "We are-!"

"Young Master, there is a group of ten coming toward your place. All of them are women. What should we do?" Leoz suddenly asked.

"Their power levels?"

"Most of them are 2-Star Martial Lords or 3-Star Martial Lords. From what I saw, their target was not you but that undead region. And you seem to have met their leader."

"I have?" Alex asked, confused.

"Yes. Since you have recalled me to the card in the war between the Zhou Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom. I got a few more fresh memories about her. She is the daughter of Rainbow Flower Sect sect master."

"!!!" Alex obviously remembered her.

"Alex, should we stop them? If not, they might know about this token, and we don't want your tribulation to be disturbed by the likes of them." Anna asked.

Alex nodded. "You go first, I will follow you after I summoned the others. Since they came from Leoz's direction, then they should come from the north."

"Understood." Anna nodded and disappeared. Alex chose Anna because that person had met her.

"Summon." After Anna disappeared, Alex summoned all his spirits back. "I want all of you to conceal yourself first."

He then flew toward Anna.
