Chapter 751: Is something about to happen?

    ?

    Alec gazed at Sinon, who sat cross-legged within the barrier he had created.

    It had been two days, yet the demi-human showed no signs of opening his eyes or moving from his position.

    ''How much longer will it take him?''

    He asked Soul, but the system had no idea at all, so it remained silent.

    Suddenly, Carcel tapped his shoulder, and Alec turned to him with a questioning look. The golden-haired man assessed him from head to toe before clicking his tongue.

    "You have been here for two days. Go take a bath and change your clothes. It''s not like we can''t guard him."

    He pointed at Lara and Mia, who were floating behind him. The three had come here when they noticed Alec''s absence and found out that he was guarding Sinon, who was in a state of deep concentration. But since Sinon hadn''t moved from his place, they could only watch him silently.

    Alec wanted to stay but agreed to leave when Lara gave him a piercing stare, clearly displeased with his condition.

    "Okay, I will be back soon..."

    He turned to leave toward the resting area but paused and glanced at the two girls.

    "Did they come out of the building?"

    Lara and Mia both blinked at his words, confused. But then their eyes widened, and their faces flushed when they realized what Alec was talking about.

    Mia coughed lightly. At least telling Alec was easier than coaxing Bia, who wanted to go and check on Kyle. In the end, she had asked Elli to take care of Bia and buy her as much food as the phoenix wanted.

    "No, we haven''t seen Yue."

    Alec''s eyebrow twitched violently.

    Why did he get the impression that Kyle had come here not to participate in the ongoing war but to celebrate his marital retreat that he wasn''t able to have after his marriage?

    He didn''t dare to ask anything more, fearing he might worsen his good mood.

    After Alec disappeared toward one of the islands to bathe and change, a sudden loud blaring sound echoed through the air.

    The sound echoed for only a few seconds, but everyone on the floating islands who knew the reason behind the noise froze when they heard the alarming sound.

    Complete silence engulfed the area before numerous older individuals with panic and alarmed expressions floated into the sky.

    Odiak and James also emerged from their residence with dark expressions. The loud sound came from the center of the floating islands, where an artifact was situated that would warn them if the seals of the Realm of the Dead were under attack.

    James turned his attention to Odiak.

    "Gather the elders and any strong individuals who aren''t engaged in the war and meet me in front of the seals."

    He didn''t say anything else, and before Odiak could respond and remind him that he needed rest as his soul hadn''t fully recovered, he vanished into thin air.

    The old dwarf cursed his recklessness and rubbed his throbbing forehead. Sophia and a few other older figures appeared before him with solemn expressions.

    "What''s going on? Kurt contacted us a while ago, which is why Razial and Elizabeth left. He didn''t mention that the seals were being attacked, so why is the artifact acting up?"

    Odiak''s eyes hardened as he looked at Sophia. The previous worry on his face faded into a monotone expression.

    "I have no idea. This is an emergency."

    Odiak spoke up before Alec could.

    "We are going to check the seals of the Realm of the Dead because we just received an

    emergency signal."

    "Do you want to come along?"

    Kyle''s brows knitted together.

    The seals of the Realm of the Dead?

    He wanted to check on the seals as well, so he nodded, and everyone resumed entering the teleportation portal. He glanced next to him when Yue grabbed his arm.

    "I will come along as well."

    Kyle wanted to nod, but then suddenly glanced at her lower body with an uncertain expression, wondering if it was okay for her to fight after what they had done... Sensing his inappropriate thoughts, Yue pinched his arm with a furious expression.

    ''Stop thinking useless things!''

    Her voice echoed in his head as she left to join Lara. Kyle blinked and watched her with a wronged expression, wondering what he had done wrong this time.

    He turned back when he sensed Bia, and the phoenix landed on his shoulder with a look of bliss. Her tiny stomach was bulging, and Kyle understood she had been doing nothing but

    eating in his absence.

    "You''ve gained more weight."

    He raised his finger and flicked Bia''s forehead with a sigh, and the phoenix responded with a

    grumble.

    -"Talk about yourself! You''ve been absent for two days! Why is your body cold again?"

    Kyle didn''t answer; he moved and entered the teleportation portal. When everyone had left, Odiak also stepped into the portal, and it scattered into particles in the air.

    The air surrounding the many floating islands was very tense after the powerful individuals

    left, but it suddenly began to grow louder and more intense. A low rumble echoed through the atmosphere, and whispers of wind swirled, vibrating the air with a strange sensation that made everyone feel a sense of anticipation.

    As the noise grew, a few murmurs echoed in the air as the poeple training on the islands began

    to float to find the reason.

    With most of the powerful figures in the area gone, they felt even more agitated by the

    sudden movement of the wind.

    "Now what is happening?"

    "Is something about to happen?"

    "For some reason, I can sense a powerful natural force in the sky..."

    Silence settled in the air when suddenly a bright light began to illuminate a particular spot in

    the sky with an otherworldly golden glow before it disappeared, and the wind returned to its normal pace as if nothing had ever happened. Only Mia and Carcel, who had witnessed what transpired, were left shocked and at a loss for words.
