"Argh…."


    re groaned as she tried to stand up.


    She had her body smashed on the wall with a force so great yet so controlled that other than some bone injuries she didn''t feel anything else.


    But those bone injuries were still painful….


    "Did you think that you can do whatever you want to in this ce?"


    Just then, Alex''s voice was heard, and the next instant, Alex was standing right in front of re.


    re, who was trying to stand up by the support of the wall, which was surprisingly still fine, without a scratch, fell to the ground again.


    "Do I look that easy to you?"


    Alex let out his bloodlust mixed with demonic energy as he spoke.


    He didn''t want to kill her, after all.


    "Argghh…."


    re''s body fell to the ground and her breathing started getting shallow.


    Right now, Alex looked like a bloodthirsty beast looking at her with its jaws open, ready to bite her head off, and she realized her mistake.


    She gritted her teeth as she looked at Cecil from the corner of her eyes, although her eyes were almost closed.


    Then she pressed her head on the ground.


    "I-I am…. sorry…."


    It took all of her willpower to be able to mutter out those words, but she somehow felt that it was all she had to do.


    *Woosh*


    A wooshing sound was heard and the next instant, all the pressure she was feeling vanished as if it was never there.


    *Pant**Pant**Pant*….


    re was left panting as shey on the ground with her back resting on the floor.


    ''I need to calm down….''


    re muttered to herself as she tried to calm her breathing.


    *Inhale**Exhale*


    She closed her eyes and started taking deep breaths.


    ''I should think carefully about my every move….''


    She opened her eyes and muttered to herself.


    ''I almost died….''


    If Alex continued to do what he was doing then she might''ve actually died.


    But then her eyes fell on the wall she crashed into.


    ''Not even a scratch….''


    She sighed inwardly.


    ''There''s no way this wall is simple….''


    She an SSS-ranker had her bones have hairline fractures and some crakes in them by crashing into the wall, and the wall didn''t even have a scratch, how could that be normal?


    Of course, it was not normal.


    Alex had reinforced the whole house, two times.


    The first time was when he bought a barrier crystal from the store and used it to ce a barrier on every inch of the house.


    That barrier was SS-ranked, which didn''t fit well with Alex''s power, soter when he bought the craftsman skill from the shop, he modified the barrier, and now, it could take at least 20 hits from the strongest EX-ranker.


    ''I don''t like dealing with mysterious people….''


    re muttered again as she tried getting up.


    She already knew that Alex was mysterious, his origin was not clear, how he suddenly became so powerful was still a mystery, and the biggest mystery of all….


    ''How the hell did he reach legendary level???''


    This was something that had been bugging re for a while.


    She was someone who had been to that level, so she knew the mana pressure of that level, and she knew how mana reacted to that level.


    In the past three months of observing him, and that much time was enough for her to guess just how strong he actually was.


    ''He is close to reaching legendary or he is a tier 1 legendary ranker already….''


    If Alex heard her thoughts, he would just shake his head with a smile.


    But re was not at fault here, she was thinking logically, and logically, it didn''t make sense for someone to go from EX rank to almost Mythical in just around 3 months.


    It took people decades to do that, or at least that''s whatmon sense says.


    But was Alex someone who could be judged bymon sense?


    re shook her head inwardly as she stood up.


    She looked around and what did she find?


    Alex was sitting between Alice and Ann as if nothing had happened, while Luna was now sitting next to Cecil or number 1.


    "What are…."


    re red at Luna and she took a step toward her with a frown but then she felt a pair of eyes on her and she froze.


    ''Ah….''


    Her body rxed and she shut her mouth.


    She didn''t want to be mmed into the wall again.


    Alex who was staring at re looked at Luna when he saw that re stopped.


    "So, Luna, what''s happening?"


    He questioned as he looked at Luna.


    "The memories that I had been trying to make her forget were triggered after she heard re''s name, and when she tried to recall them, her mind got strained causing her to feel the pain."


    Luna replied as she looked at Alex, but after shepleted her words, she turned back toward Number 1.


    "So, you can manipte memories as well?"


    Alex questioned with his brows raised.


    "Not really, I just make it so that they won''t be able to recall those memories."


    Luna replied.


    "And how do you do that?"


    Alex knew that it was not good to ask these types of questions, but since his incubus aura worked the same as Luna''s ability, knowing more about it mighte in handyter.


    Luna, who was looking at Number 1 with worry hidden in her eyes turned toward Alex.


    She looked at him for a bit, and although she could see nothing other than curiosity in his eyes, she still smiled.


    ''At least you have interest in something rted to me….''


    "Well, it''s a long process…."


    Luna replied to Alex.


    "Oh, I''m fine talking about itter if it''s that long."


    Alex just waved his hand as he voiced out.


    Then he added.


    "But you see, these girls are confused about what''s happening, so if you don''t mind, could you exin the situation for them to understand?"


    ''Sigh….''


    Luna sighed inwardly and her smile dropped.


    ''I should''ve just exined it….''


    Luna sighed with regret.


    When Luna said that it''s a long process, she was expecting a reply like, ''I have all the time you can ask for'', or ''It''s fine, I still want to hear it'', but she forgot that although Alex wasn''t a softie, he didn''t like invading people personal space without a reason.


    To him, Luna''s answer looked like she was making an excuse, so he backed away.


    ''Well, I will find some time to exin that to himter.''


    Luna nodded to herself before she stood up with Number 1 in her hands.


    She walked up to the sofa in front of Alex, Alice, and Ann, and ced Number 1''s unconscious body over it.


    "Before I exin what''s going on, I would like to show you something…."


    Luna looked at Alice, Ann, and Noctura as she spoke.


    Alice and Ann nodded their heads while Noctura just stared at Number 1.


    ''Her blood smells like thatdy over there….''


    Noctura spoke through the mental link between her and Alex as she looked at Number 1 and re simultaneously.


    Alex smiled when he heard her words.


    ''My pup is now getting good at using her abilities huh?''


    Alex questioned with a smile as he mentally patted Noctura.


    Noctura looked away from Number 1 and re as she looked at Alex with a smile.


    ''Hehe…''


    She giggled inwardly since being praised by Alex was one of the things she liked the most.
