Abyssal Terra / Floor 2

The time was night, but somehow it was very bright. 

"Aaawww! My eyes!"

Alexander could not bear the brightness, his eyes almost got burn. 

To overcome Darkness Walet, a constant light like the sun was needed. 

That left the Abyssal Hunter league with two choices: 1. Waiting till Morning. 2. Summons the user's Light Arts.

There, Hera gave a third choice. 

["Eve Horizon is a place of everlasting night. But, there is one time that Huxian uses her power to light the region with her power."]

Now, Huxian uses the same power to light the Middle Region. 

Because that happens in Middle Region, the other region also got enlightened. Many questions arise as a result of the event.

"Use this."

Ars gave the tormented Alexander a sunglass.

With Huxian had become their constant light, Darkness Walet disappeared to ashes.

They will no longer be a threat as long as Huxian became the light for Floor 2.

But of course, their enemy, Echidna, will not let that to happen for long. 

Quite far behind the Mountain Snail, Ars could see a bright red light starting to emerge. 

That came from Red Humanoid. There were a dozen of them. It seemed Echidna drop them off because she knew Huxian would become the second sun. 

The group of Red Humanoid will unite their power to shoot Huxian. 

"Al, you take care of them."

"Me?"

Ars ordered Alexander, but Ars did not call his name with Alexander like everyone does. So he quite confused in the first place. 

"Who else?"

Ars really ordered Alexander to carry out the orders. 

"Y-y-yes! Yeah, of course! I will get rid of them."

Without further ado, Alexander fell to the surface and became an eagle. Then he dashed towards the Red Humanoid group.

When flying, he remembers the previous incident where Ars called him by a short nickname, namely Al. Short for Alexander

That made him so happy he can't stop smiling. Even though he is now in the form of an eagle.

"Alright, I will destroy all of you!"

Right now, he is in high spirits. Whereas in the past, he was very reluctant to join conquest expeditions. What made him join was only the unwillingness to take a hit from the Spear Saint.

However, at the time, all his doubts and fears disappeared because of the spirit that Ars gave to him.

Ars actually did not give him that spirit or something. He just told Alexander to get rid of the Red Humanoid. But that was enough to make him move forward without hesitation.

"Eh?"

Unfortunately, he was too late. 

The group of Red Humanoid already shot their red laser simultaneously to the sky. Precisely to Huxian's position. 

"Oh, no! Master!"

He cannot do anything. All he can do is hope Ars can do something.

"[Dragon Arts – King Scales: Sky Disc]"

The power of the Red Humanoid red laser merged into a huge shot into the sky.

But it stopped in the midair. There was something that blocked the huge red laser from rocketing to the sky. 

That was Ars doing.

Ars raised his left hand to the sky. It looked like he was controlling the barrier that blocked the huge red laser. 

Alexander looked at Ars, and Ars looked back at him with a sharp gaze, like saying, 'What are you waiting...'

That sharp gaze told Alexander to hurry. 

Ars really relies on Alex to carry out his duties.

Given this great trust, Alex felt ashamed that he had doubts.

With that, Alex dashed to the Red Humanoid group once more. 

Ars actually could get rid of the Red Humanoid himself. But he prefers to Alexander do the job. 

The reason? Because Alexander already too comfortable with his life on Floor 2.

He did say he would follow Ars down to the 3rd Floor. But there is no guarantee that he will be of use to Ars. Because of that, Ars tested him to carry out a trivial but important task.

"Whaddu hell?"

The Red Humanoid Group has been eliminated. Annihilated by the great alaska worm that crushes them all in its coils.

"H-he actually could transform into any kind of creature?"

That big worm must be Alexander. Ars did not think that Alexander was actually that strong.

He got curious. If Alexander had a chance to touch Fafnir, did he also could transform into the red dragon?

Before that, why did Alexander name himself Alexander the Black Dragon?

Can he also become a black dragon if he wants to? Is the black dragon form is his ace, that's why he doesn't use it now?

Whatever that is, Ars believe that Alex could be used to him in the future. 

"Now, focus on this snail first."

Because previously Skadi had opened a gap to destroy the Mountain Snail shell, Ars has several ways to deal with Mountain Snail.

"I want to try that."

Mutiara City / South gate

At the south gate, there was a caravan owned by a merchant who wanted to evacuate.

"Hurry up! Or else we will be crushed by that big monster!"

The caravan owned by Jiang He. He had remained in the city all this time in hopes of seeing Huxian.

However, his efforts were in vain as Huxian only appeared when his enemy returned from disappearing.

"Hey! Hurry up, what are you waiting for?!"

All the workers suddenly fell silent when something was happening at the back.

Impatient, Jiang He barged towards where everyone was looking.

"Just, what are you-?!"

He thought there was a problem that brought his men to a halt. Sure enough, two of his greatest bodyguards were talking to one.

"How is it?"

"Hmm? The problem is not the price, but what are we going to do next?"

His two guards were discussing something. Where in front of them stood a person he hates the most, the Greedy Young Master.

"One million is not enough? Since you guys getting paid by the old man only 600k annually, so I think that is quite a lot. Should I round it in half? So 1.2m??"

The Yellow Sky Scimitar and Purple Sky Schyte popeyed when Ars give an offer to increase the price of their salary per-year. 

"You!!"

Jiang He who was furious approached Ars.

"After you took everything from me! You want to take my two bodyguards?!"

Jiang He is really furious.

However, Ars showed an astonished expression. 

"Who are you again?"

Ars didn't recognize him.

That made Jiang He even more furious.

"We will take it, bos."

In the midst of Jiang He's anger, his two guards approached Ars with their weapons in hands.

Ars was about to receive the Purple Sky Scythe and Yellow Sky Scimitar. However, their user immediately withdrew before Ars accepted them.

"How about the payment?"

"Look for an old man named Lee Wai. Tell him to give you each the price we agreed on. Don't try to fool him."

"Of course, we wouldn't do something so stupid. Especially after we lost our beloved weapon."

With that, Ars received the two of Seven Colour Weapon. Then disappeared.
