777 The Blackened Emperor

"Alex… you know that I am still your ally. But for this time, please let me be free for now. This might worsen my image to you, but come on, we are friends. Surely you will forgive me too, right?"

The temptation for her freedom defeated Professor Frances' self-preservation tactics, thus she did not hesitate to unleash her arrow on Alex.

"Swoosh!"

The arrow flew unimpeded through the emptiness of space, and straight towards Alex, who only bared his teeth in anger as the object drew closer to his mangled torso.

 "Thunk!"

With his body unable to move due to his heavy injuries, Alex could only watch in rage as the projectile gouged his remaining body parts, which took pieces of his flesh and soul into the oblivion.

"Argh!" Alex on his own was already mad enough, but the additional injury that he just incurred has spurned his madness further.
