Chapter 346 Tower
The formation seemed almost sentient; as Alex reached its center, the surrounding light arrows abruptly halted. Seeing this, Alex raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected the formation to control so many light arrows.
This was going to be troublesome.
Standing in the center of the formation, Alex stared intently at the light arrows in front of him, pondering how to destroy this large formation.
Suddenly, the previously still light arrows began to spin wildly as if provoked by some unseen force.
"Not good!"
Noticing the change in the light arrows, Alex's pupils contracted. The power of the light arrows was continuously increasing, and they were constantly shifting positions, making them incredibly difficult to track.
"Hahaha! Wretched human, do you think you can destroy the great God's formation? What a foolish dream! Today, you will die under this formation!"
At that moment, an arrogant voice echoed from the sky. A giant axe descended from above, crashing down directly in front of Alex. The axe shimmered with a pale blue light, emanating an incredibly terrifying aura.
"Damn it!"
Alex cursed. This guy dared to ambush him, the only king in this world. Unfortunately, Alex had no time to retaliate and was heavily injured by the giant axe. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his gaze cold as he looked up to see a burly man standing in front of him, looking at him with a mocking expression.
"Who are you?"
Alex wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, staring intently at the man before him.
The man was clad in a black robe that covered his entire body, leaving only his head and a pair of fierce eyes visible. He was tall, a full head taller than Alex, and his body was bulging with muscles, exuding explosive strength. This sheer physical presence alone was enough to crush Alex.
"I am a divine emissary, guarding this realm by the will of the gods."
The man's tone was arrogant, completely dismissing Alex.
"Gods? Hmph! Mere ants."
Alex sneered. The man's power was undoubtedly extraordinary. Based on Alex's estimation, he was at least at an A-level strength, possibly even stronger.
However, Alex was unafraid. He now possessed S-level strength and had integrated the memories of the Demon Lord. If he encountered that monster again, he was confident he could match it.
"You're courting death!"
Seeing Alex's disdain for the gods, the man roared in anger, raising his giant axe and slashing at Alex. The axe glowed with a ghostly green light, clearly laced with poison, which made Alex wary.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Alex snorted, swinging his short blade to meet the attack.
"Clang!"
The two weapons clashed, sparks flying, and a violent gust of wind blew Alex back. He stumbled, nearly falling to the ground.
"How is this possible?"
Alex's eyes widened in shock as he stared at the man. He couldn't believe the man had forced him back with sheer power alone.
"Heh heh…"
The man grinned wickedly. "Foolish human, I am a divine emissary, wielding the power granted by the gods. How could you compare?"
"You…"
Alex's face darkened, knowing the man spoke the truth.
"Since you understand my power, be a good sacrifice for the gods!"
The man roared again, charging at Alex once more.
Alex took a deep breath, realizing he had no other choice but to fight to the death. Even if he couldn't win, at least he could buy himself a chance to escape. He deflected the light arrows coming at him while searching for an opportunity to flee.
"Swish, swish!"
Suddenly, countless light arrows converged behind the man.
"Heh, you can't escape."
A sinister smile appeared on the man's face as he extended his hand, and a spear materialized in his grasp.
"Thud."
With a dull sound, the spear pierced through Alex's chest.
"You!"
Alex's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the man in front of him.
"I told you, you are no match for me."
The man's face was full of arrogance, but the next second, Alex smiled. He had already become immortal; there was no way the man could kill him.
"You are truly foolish."
Alex sneered and threw a punch. The sound of bones cracking was clear, and the man let out a scream as his arm snapped instantly.
He looked at Alex in horror. "How... how are you still alive?"
He had just attacked Alex; how was he unscathed?
"Because you can't kill me!"
Alex shrugged, looking somewhat exasperated. He was no longer human; how could he fear death?
"Impossible! I killed you with my own hands!"
The man roared, unwilling to accept this reality. He charged at Alex again, determined to kill him.
"Boom!"
Countless light arrows shot towards Alex once more, far more densely than before.
The power of these light arrows was far greater than before. Even Alex felt a hint of mortal danger.
"No, I have to get out of here quickly. If the full power of these light arrows is unleashed, even I might not survive."
Alex squinted his eyes. He couldn't confront them head-on; he had to evade the light arrows' assault and move swiftly towards the exit.
"Heh heh... Trying to escape? Too late!"
Seeing this, the man's face lit up with excitement. Instantly, his figure vanished from where he stood. The next moment, he appeared behind Alex, his giant axe already raised high.
"Not good!"
Sensing the danger behind him, Alex turned sharply and thrust his sword backward.
"Clang!"
The giant axe and short blade collided, producing a metallic clanging sound. The tremendous force from the axe surged through Alex, sending him flying and crashing hard to the ground.

"Cough, cough…"
Alex coughed twice, a flush spreading across his face as he struggled to get up, glaring coldly at the man. Although he was unharmed, the man's attack had seriously injured him.
"Who are you? Why are you helping the enemy against us?"
Alex frowned and asked.
"Heh heh... I am a divine emissary under the great god, here to do the god's work. You filthy, lowly creatures dare to offend the great deity. You deserve death."
The man laughed maniacally and charged at Alex once more.
