Chapter 68: Searching For Her
Maximus didn’t think that Alexandra would run away from him. He ran behind her for some time, but he sensed dark and strong magic around.
He tried to call for her but she didn’t listen to him and ran away from him. As she distanced herself from him, he felt the dark magic getting more stronger and powerful.
Even the beasts didn’t like that dark magic and since it drained them, they returned to their plane. He has powerful mana but that didn’t compare to the strength of that dark magic.
«Why does this seem familiar?»
He remembered most of his past except for the incidents around his death and how he died. He could only do guesswork on how he died. And so it cannot be entirely dismissed or entirely accepted as the whole truth.
But he had a feeling that he encountered this particular dark magic before. Or at least Alexandra did as he could guess from his memory. None of his memory is without her, after all.
He followed along the trail and after a while, there was no sign of her as if she had vanished. But he had a feeling she is just there and so he stopped at a clearing that lacked trees and looked around.
He cried out her name but there was no reply. He figured she is in danger.
Closing his eyes, he tried to sense if he could figure out her feelings. They have connected after all. But he couldn’t even sense her even a bit as if someone had entirely taken her off of him. Like she was carved out of existence.
He tried to contact her summoned beasts but even they didn’t answer him. They usually do but this time even they stayed away from him.
And that could only mean...
His heart skipped a beat.
