Chapter 328: You didn't have a legendary harem, though.

Alex entered the battle mood, his form changing.

Wings littered his back, and four arms came out from their spots. His equipment shone, for Alex channeled his mana.

He calmed down his fast heartbeat, focusing on the important matters, "We won't make a safe zone in this capital with ants crawling below us. We must leave their reach, so escaping the capital's grounds is the way."

While everyone tensed because of the betrayal of two kings and races, Alex controlled his heart, which beat with battle lust. He saw many enemies ahead, wanting to slash through them for their deeds.

He needed a high focus to not lose himself in his natural battle lust, or he would become like Elias Deathwill, thriving alone on the battlefield. Of course, Alex's love for his wives and their skills helped him significantly with this flaw.

His voice reached the forest fairies' queen, who was already standing at the helm of her people, "We will ensure an escape route.

Connect with the forest and bend nature to our will, my fairies!" Yumia's voice and intent reached everyone.

Her people, those in the white hall and outside it, promptly summoned their wooden equipment. The Queen called forth her guardians alongside the royal descendants.

They turned behind, preparing a path toward the safe zone.

And as the chaos continued to billow, Alex faced the lion king. After their match, Burford Fang's life belonged to Alexander Deathwill.

There wasn't an official bet between them, though. Of course, if Burford won, he would've continuously threatened Alex about it. He wouldn't let him go without getting enslaved.

Anais and Yumia noticed it beforehand, yet the latter was still worried because she knew beasts and their tendencies.

But Burford was a man of principles as well. Amidst the chaos and incessant rumbling, he stood before Alex, for his life was no longer his.

"You..." Alex whispered, momentarily confused. He never wanted to enslave others. If anything, he would rather have a healthy master-servant relationship.

He even forgot about the bet, first focusing on his girls' and forest fairies' safety. He didn't think he could use Burford here.

And as level one hundred and fifty, Burford was a considerable force, to say nothing of him calling his people to work with the forest fairies.

"What do you want me to do?" Burford asked with a stoic expression. He didn't have problems hiding his emotions now, for he compared his current situation with his meetings with Anais Foxtail.

That woman was much smarter than him, so listening to her was often beneficial. It was somewhat similar now.

Thus, Burford could make a stone face when necessary.

"Lead your people and have them work closely with forest fairies. The antagonists will attack us soon too, so everyone should work with White Spiders like Miss Anais had told us before," Alex replied without wasting too much time on his thoughts.

At first, he thought about using Burford as a shield for his beloveds.

But that would significantly lower the lions' presence. He didn't know how many enemies were out there, so weakening one demi-human race could turn the sides of this mini-war.

It would be a huge blow to their forces.

The most significant reasoning was that Alex never thought about commanding one of the beast kings and their people. He came here with a resolution to help the forest fairies with his strength.

He would protect them and his beloveds with what he had at hand.

And thus, Alex decided that he would just order Burford to work closer with the forest fairies.

"We should kill fox woman," A man in a noble suit with a glass of wine in his hand whispered while staring at the scene from the sky.

He took a sip after saying those words to his buddy, Erik.

"Roy..." Erik whispered his friend's name, not looking around the battlefield in the same way. His antagonist's eyes had been locked on a certain man whose presence stood out in the background with many demi-humans.

He added while his eyes narrowed at the man's strength, "I will catch him."

Roy shifted his attention to the person on Erik's mind, "Alexander Deathwill... Is there a reason you are so fixated on him?"

It was true that Alexander Deathwill had the blood of the traitors. But his presence didn't mean much on the current battlefield.

Anais Foxtail meant more, for she could basically influence two demi-human kingdoms. If nothing happened to her, she would soon alliance herself with the human kingdoms, posing an actual threat to their plans on this continent.

If this plan failed, their next move would be to give more attention to the demi-human kingdoms, keeping them busy with suicidal tactics.

And then, the antagonists would have to either call their forces from other lands or think of something else.

"Alexander Mao," Erik corrected his friend, clenching his hands, "I don't know why... It might be because I was the first to meet him in that guy's soul. Maybe because my player self is somewhat similar to him, I want to deal with him alone.

That all mean nothing, though. Alexander Mao is a serious threat to us, just like other guardian's descendants. They can enter the game after all." Erik bit his lips.

Roy took a sip of his wine before whispering, "Deathwill or Mao, he might as well just use two surnames. ...You didn't have a legendary harem, though. You actually never had a girlfriend, didn't you?

I don't see how you two are similar," Roy asked before shrugging, "You do you." He swayed his glass a few times, eyes fixed on a dancing wine.

Erik smiled faintly, preparing for a spectacular drop, "Yes... We can take many chances until the whole world unities against us.

I will do whatever I want... And today, I will show him my demon." Erik hopped from the sky, falling like a star toward Alexander Deathwill's location.

Roy watched him with narrowed eyes, not showing any emotion, "You were always someone who didn't know what to do in life. This resulted in you making stupid choices and having too many emotional outbursts...

And now that you have a goal, you follow Yasir blindly, even imitating him. At least you are more of yourself in my presence, Erik. I hate how you act like him, though... I want that simpleton back..." Roy commented before shifting his attention to Anais Foxtail, "I will allow myself to become stupid too.

Let's challenge the girl... I hope Miss Yumi won't get mad at me later," he finished his glass of wine, then dropped himself from the sky as well.

His fall was much slower and more elegant, unlike Erik, who had fallen like a wild beast.

BANG!

Suddenly, an unknown and terrifying power slammed against the forest fairies' forces, creating smoke through the dirt. After cover subsided, Erik revealed himself, his sword pressing against Alex's swords!

"Alex!" Remia, Schnee, and Sara shouted, turning around to their beloved's location.

Erik and Alex exchanged glances, their techniques channeling through their weapons.

"It's our second... No... It's our third meeting, son of a traitor," Erik said in a lethal tone, enough to plant fear in his surroundings.

[Erik Lv. 165 HP: ??? MP:???]

"Son... of a traitor?" Alex muttered, his eyes fixed on his enemy.

And hearing his words, Sara's heart sank...

[Don't let Alex rely on the Guardian Mana. He has to form his own style and power before using it. His Guardian Mana must be the supportive power.]

Harvey's words rang in her mind.
