When Davis' plot armour is reduced to cinders, and his ailing body is crucified to be pecked to death by hungry carrion will be the day of MC's ultimate victory. Looking forward to the defeat of the protagonist template!
Not a fan of how hes got plot armor hes in the books world yes but now its reality and reality shifts and changes so now he should just be someone with a good fate unless that fates protecting him then lucky duck
Alex could make Davis realize he is being manipulated thus making him clash against the church. That way it makes a distraction for them and weakens them. Though there is many ways to go about it so will see what happens.
So I'm guessing some magical item he had saved him rather than the universe itself preventing mcs attack.... I'd just pick him up and take him with me to wear away the spell.... sure they probably have tracking items but the aether probably has some on it too
