As for why the 'Elex' in front of him was not his undead, Xingyuan could tell this from the fact that he could easily grasp the Sword of Samsara in Cai'er's hand without any damage.
Although Cai'er at this stage, because she failed to pass the trial set for her by the reincarnation inheritance, is unable to use the full power of the artifact passed down by the previous Son of Reincarnation and unlock the new form of the Sword of Reincarnation, which is the real undead killer, the Scythe of Death.
However, even if it was the Sword of Samsara, Xingyuan believed that no matter how powerful the undead creature was, it would not be possible for it to take on this blow so easily like the other party did.
With the fate of Alex, after confirming that Cai'er's life would not be in danger for the time being, Xingyuan's rationality quickly regained its high ground and his thoughts kept turning.
On the other hand, look at Cai'er.
Although she had never seen Alex's true face, she recognized his voice.
"Zheng——"
Cai'er let go of the Sword of Samsara in her hand and let it fall to the ground, making a crisp sound, and then turned into a stream of light again.
'Electrolux' did not move, but subconsciously withdrew his hand. He was still immersed in looking back at the past.
He was not worried at all that Cai'er would try to commit suicide again in front of him. After all, he was standing in front of her now, so it didn't matter even if Xingyuan didn't release super gravity to slow down her movements.
"Lord God of Law."
Cai Er didn't know how to address the other party, so she could only imitate what Xing Yuan had called him before, "If one of us must become an undead creature, then let me do it."
Since 'Elux' at this time exuded an extremely strong 'evil aura' which was completely different from the aura of darkness and the undead, Cai'er did not think that the other party stopped her from committing suicide because he did not want to see her die here. Instead, she thought that the other party just made such a move out of his evil taste of wanting to see her and Xingyuan kill each other.
Xingyuan had thought of this possibility, but as his rationality returned, he began to deeply analyze what he knew about Alex's life and found that there was still room for recovery.
"Just like Xingyuan, my lover said just now, my weapon will never be pointed at him, so we will not kill each other in front of you."
This was the first time Xingyuan heard Cai'er use a pleading tone when speaking to others, "If you must choose one of us as your personal disciple, then he is the best candidate. He has magical talent that is far beyond my reach..."
"... Cai'er."
"How strange, how strange...how strange!"
With Alex's strength, even if he did not have an instrument like the Sword of Samsara that could detect lies, he could still know that what Cai'er had just said to him was all from the heart, without a single falsehood.
Especially since Cai'er had just proved it to him with her actual actions, if Xingyuan had not cast the strongest super gravity spell he could instantly cast at her position as soon as he got rid of the restriction, even he, Alex, would not have been able to stop Cai'er from piercing her heart with the Sword of Samsara in such a sudden situation...
When Alex was speaking, both Xingyuan and Cai'er, along with each other's strong emotional fluctuations, once again felt that extremely strong sense of oppression that made it difficult for them to even move a finger.
"Son of the Earth, Son of the Earth, tell me, how did you make this girl so devoted to you? Even when she was ready to die for you and use her death in exchange for your safety, I didn't feel any resentment from her."
Alex froze Cai'er's body, then slowly walked towards Xingyuan, his expression confused and a little distraught, and the solidity of his "body" also became thinner as his emotions changed.
"Why, why?" Alex walked up to Xingyuan, grabbed the collar of his tattered magic robe, and made him look into his eyes. "Obviously, there is no contractual connection between the two of you. What made her willing to do this for you?"
Under the hood of the simple robe is a weathered, not young, face of a man.
This is Electrolux.
Seeing the bewilderment and confusion in the other's eyes, Xingyuan, who felt that he had regained control of his body, looked at Alex calmly.
"It is the most useless thing in the world as you said, Lord God of Law."
"Boom-"
Electrolux released his hand that was grabbing Xingyuan's collar, causing him to fall straight to the ground after losing control of his body.
Xingyuan noticed that Cai'er was trapped behind Alex and unable to move. Her face was full of fear, as if she was telling him not to provoke her with words anymore.
However, Xingyuan didn't know whether his understanding was correct, so he could only give Cai'er a smile to reassure her as usual, and then continue to speak to Alex slowly.
"is love."
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"
Following Alex's order, Xingyuan once again lost the right to speak freely. Obviously, at this stage, he has not yet been able to break free from the other party's control.
Electrolux's figure began to become more and more illusory. However, just when Xingyuan was worried that he might use too much force, Electrolux's figure suddenly became solid again.
What's going on here?
Although Xingyuan felt that Alex and Cai'er's lives should not be in danger for the time being based on his understanding of Alex's character, since the current issue had not been resolved, there was no reason for him to relax the tension in his heart.
When he saw Alex's face clearly again, he realized that his original appearance had changed from a middle-aged man to a man who looked obviously much older.
But his voice no longer had the confusion and bewilderment it had just had.
"...Son of the Earth, your name is Xingyuan, right?"
Alex lifted all the restrictions on Xingyuan and let him stand in front of him. The dark green soul fire beat in his slightly withered palm, and he looked at Xingyuan with his cloudy eyes.
"Are you like Cai'er, the Saint of Reincarnation, who is willing to sacrifice her own life in exchange for your safety?"
"I do not want to."
Xingyuan gave his answer without hesitation, "Without me, she will die." (End of this chapter)
