Endless Journey: Infinite Realms-Chapter 47 How painful can a bite be?

Chapter 47 How painful can a bite be?

Looking at the current situation, it might look like Alina and Alex have the advantage, since they have Lord Ergo with them.

But that is not the case, since Lord Ergo would not be able to fight for them.

Because of what Alina did earlier, Lord Ergo has no way to fight right now.

According to Alina, because of the awakening of her sister, Lord Ergo was currently in stalemate situation.

Both the minds of Lord Ergo and Elizabeth were struggling to take control of her body, which led to Lord Ergo currently unable to fight properly.

Lord Ergo was only able to fly earlier because at that time, Elizabeth was still the dominant personality.

But right now, both Elizabeth and Lord Ergo has equal control of her body, which led to the struggle that made her currently powerless.

And from what Alex could understand from Alina's words, it will still take around an hour before Lord Ergo can fight properly.

But at that point, it was highly likely that it will be Lord Ergo that will have the control of the body.

And of course Alex knew that once that happens, the first thing that Lord Ergo will do was to murder them all.

Since that was the case, Alex was left with no choice but to administer the computer virus ball towards Lord Ergo right now.

"Alina…" Alex muttered as he showed the virus ball that he was holding on earlier. "I will use the virus inside this ball to erase Lord Ergo inside your sister… However, I am not sure on what will happen to your sister. Since her mind has fused with Lord Ergo already… There is a chance that she will die."

Alex was supposed to say 'high chance', but he found it hard to say these words, so he tried to make his words as gentle as possible. "Even if your sister can possibly die here, do you still want to go on with this?"

To the surprise of Alex, what Alina first did was to cup Alex's face with her soft hands.

Alina then brought her face closer to Alex, with her fragrant breath dancing all over his face.

Alex could only stare at Alina's mesmerizing eyes as his whole body froze on the spot.

"I detected a little lie in your words, Alex." Alina said as Alex could see her luscious lips moving on their own. "But I understand that you were lying to make me feel better…"

"Um.. um.." Alex stuttered as he found it extremely hard to focus right now. "So should I continue on treating your sister or not?"

"Do it." Alina replied with her gaze were concentrated on Alex. "My sister… she had already gone through far too much. Besides, I was able to converse with my sister earlier… And she gave me the permission to allow you to treat her. So, you should have no qualms on what you were about to do."

"Wait, you were able to talk to your sister?" Alex mused as he momentarily ignored the proximity between him and Alina. "How were you able to do that earlier?"

To Alex's surprise, Alina actually giggled a little. "That's a little secret that you are not allowed to know…" Alina replied as her gaze at Alex softened.

"Okay, I'll do it then…" Alex took a deep breath as a determined expression appeared in his face.

Since Alina and Elizabeth allowed him to do the treatment, Alex will still try his best to make sure that the treatment will be a success.

Even if that meant facing Lord Gallius without any aid from Lord Ergo himself.

"Thank you." Tears started to flow from Alina's eyes, dripping down to her chin in generous quantities.

Alex was again dazed as he found it hard to believe that something this beautiful could exist in front of him.

Alina then brought her face closer to Alex, and before Alex could know it, he was already closing his eyes as he somewhat knew what will happen next.

But before Alex could feel what he was expecting to feel, he suddenly felt pain in his nose which violently jolted him from his daze.

"Ow!" Alex shouted in pain as he opened his eyes.

With his eyes open, he saw Alina biting his nose with her perfect teeth.

Even though Alex appreciated the view that he can see, he was obviously confused with what he saw.

"...."

"...."

After 5 seconds of her biting Alex's nose, Alina withdrew her head back, leaving Alex with a painfully throbbing nose.

"What is that?" Alex inquired as he cupped his pained nose. "Why… did you do that?"

"Because I want to." Alina replied as she wiped the tears on her face.

Alina also looked like she was slightly blushing, but she deftly covered it up by averting her gaze away from Alex.

"Ok… People have fetishes, so maybe nose biting is your fetish. Nom nom nom." Alex muttered as he massaged his nose with a smile in his face. "But frankly speaking, I actually liked what you did. Just don't… overdo it next time."

"Ugh, did you two forget that I am here?" Ricardo, currently disguised as Elizabeth, mumbled in complaint as he leaned back against a tree nearby. "Tsk, youngsters these days…"

"Alex, I thought my hooman will give you a kiss… But it seems like your nose is more desirable than your lips." Asteria declared as she looked at Alex's nose with curiosity. "Maybe she did not kiss you since your breath smells bad."

"…."

With the presence of Ricardo and Lord Ergo nearby, all that Alex and Alina could do was both blush red as they both swore to themselves to punish Asteria's loud mouth later.

"So, um… can you administer it now?" Alina replied as she put her mask back on. "Time is running out, and the earlier we finish this the better it will be for all of us."

"Oh right, here we go then." Alex hastily replied as he held the computer virus ball tightly.

After a few seconds of waiting, a small hole suddenly appeared on top of the ball, which prompted Alex to make his action.

He plunged the holed part of the ball on Lord Ergo's forehead, making sure that no part of the hole was exposed to the outside air.

"Grya!!!"

An inhuman growl came out of Lord Ergo's throat, promptly terrifying every living thing that lived 50 kilometers around them.

Even Alex and Alina felt the same fear, and all that they could do was to gather strength in their legs as they tried to resist the fear.

"Quick! Place the restraints!" Alex shouted towards Ricardo as Lord Ergo started to thrash all around the ground.

"On it." Both Alina and Ricardo moved deftly as they produced thick steels of reinforced ropes which Alina brought earlier before they met up with Lord Ergo.

Right now, Lord Ergo is unable to use any abilities, so Alex was perfectly fine on using ropes on Lord Ergo.

Once the restraints were placed on the right spots, Alex, Alina and Ricardo all scooted backwards in order to see how Lord Ergo fared.

"!!!" Aside from the still thrashing body, Lord Ergo's eyes were also wide open, as if Lord Ergo was currently experiencing great pain.

Alina, who saw what was happening, could only tremble in nervousness as she obviously wished for her sister to prevail.

"It will be only up to your sister to survive this…" Alex mumbled as he tried patting Alina's head to comfort her.

This seems to be effective, as the tremblings on Alina's body had reduced greatly.

Alex was not sure how long the virus attack will last, but he knew for a fact that it will be at most 30 minutes.

That means that Alex and Alina should protect Lord Ergo for a maximum of 30 minutes if they want Elizabeth to be treated properly.

"But can we last 30 minutes against Lord Gallius?" Alex thought as he saw the airship that was not moving in its place anymore.

Alex found out that even when he was administering the virus ball at Lord Ergo earlier, Lord Gallius did not make any move to stop them.

Lord Gallius only stayed in the airship to watch the whole process from happening.

This made Alex somewhat suspicious, as naturally Lord Gallius should have been attacking them already.

Lord Gallius' current actions makes it look like he was waiting for something to happen.

"So the afro guy is actually right…" Alex's body jolted as he heard Lord Gallius' voice coming out of the airship. "Lord Ergo really did have a major problem… and from the looks of it, he is being treated at this very moment…"

"… So that is why Lord Gallius did not attack immediately." Alex said as he let out a small laugh. "He wanted to see and confirm what the fuss was all about. And now that he saw it, there is nothing that can stop him now from attacking."

Both Alex and Alina let out simultaneous sighs as they flew up towards the airship. Just one look at their faces makes it extremely clear that they are ready to fight.

"So, you two dare to fight me huh." Lord Gallius' said as he stepped out of the airship. "It's about time I face the mettle of you two!"

Lord Gallius's body was strapped with armor and weapons that even Alex had no idea on what they were.

His current demeanor was calm and composed, as if he already had a grasp of the situation.

"Alex, you should know that this time, it is not a virtual match anymore." Lord Gallius said as he brought out a longsword, which looked way more dangerous than the longsword that Alex saw before. "If I cut you to pieces right now, you will stay that way forever."

"Of course I know that." Alex replied as he cracked his knuckles. "But did you forget the fact that Alina is with me? There is no way that you can easily defeat us! So you just better leave right now!"

"It a barely passable threat, something that I can just ignore." Lord Gallius nonchalantly said as he pointed his longsword towards Alex.

"I do not know what Lord Ergo's problem was, but I came here with the intent of cutting him down. Form what I can see, Lord Ergo has no way to fight back right now. That just means that I can kill him easily. And even if your reasons for helping Lord Ergo are compelling, I still cannot allow someone as crazy as him to live, especially when I have the chance to kill him right now."

"I figured that you will say that." Alex replied as he and Alina held hands together. "If you are that serious, then I and Alina will be also serious on stopping you."

"Heh, bring it on then." Lord Gallius replied as he purposefully ignored the PDA being displayed in front of him.

"Don't worry, we will give our best here." Alex said as he and Alina prepared their battle stances.

Lord Gallius did the same too, with all three of them staring at each other, waiting for the first one to make a move.

Their silent confrontation was mixed by Lord Ergo's screams in the background, resulting in a somewhat tense and awkward face-off.

"Boom!" It was Alina who made the first move, as she unleashed 25 Space Slashes towards Lord Gallius, who watched with wide eyes as the numerous Space Slashes arrived in front of him way too quickly.

"I told you…." Alex muttered as the Space Slashes collided with Lord Ergo. "We will give our best here."
