Endless Journey: Infinite Realms - Chapter 772 Why hast thou Betrayed thy Master?

Professor Frances was pissed, and rightfully so, as all of her plans in regards to Alex has been ruined by the rowdy attitude shown by the Abyss Sprites.

She did not even have the time to compose herself from all the destruction created by the quarreling sprites, so she could only curse at them silently from her 'safe spot'.

"Argh!!! These little s**ts always do not know when to behave! They fight whenever they want, and they don't care about the destruction that they make!"

"In fact, I was almost killed just a second ago, and none of them even apologized to me!"

"Argh!!! This is obviously bulls**t, yet I can't do anything about this!"

"F**k!!!"

Cursing silently at the sprites did nothing to change her situation, but this is the least that the professor could do to improve her feelings.

"They are already so bad when Alex is still lucid, but they even got worse when their master has become like this!"

"Argh!!! Will they get even worse once Alex becomes fully corrupted?"

"F**k, that is not something that I want to see!"

"…"

"But I think I will actually see it, since I am stuck with all of these s***y sprites…"

"…"

"…"

"F**k."

Oh… if she just had her way, Professor Frances would be happy expressing her unhappiness on these tiny 'distractions'…

Not that she could actually do something at them, as their presence alone is making her feel scared of making a move.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here I am, ready to fight for my life against Alex, and yet I get scared of these little s**ts…"

"Tsk, why did I have to become like this?"

"I was a professor meant to conquer a galaxy, dang it! I should have been a scary person by this point!"

The professor was also pissed at Alex, but just like the impertinent sprites of his, she was also indecisive against him.

"Oh, and I can't even find any weaknesses from Alex because of these distracting sprites. Yeah… this is so f**king great."

"I could have many chances to shoot at Alex now, but look at where I am now."

"I am stuck here watching him, and I don't even know if I can survive until tomorrow…."

"F**k, now that I thought about it, my situation really is messed up…"

Although she was fearful of his power, Professor Frances was still itching to send her arrow sailing towards Alex, as she felt that the latter was distracted from whatever he was doing on the True God Artifact.

The man was just too engrossed on pulling out the artifact's soul, and she reckons that her attack might hurt him.

But since it was Alex that she was talking about, Professor Frances would not just attack him with an attack that 'might' hurt him.

Only an attack with a 100% certainty of hurting Alex will be the kind of attack that the professor will uses, which she unfortunately does not have.

"…Since I can't hurt Alex for now, does that mean that I am stuck on watching him until he gets tired of me?"

"F**king hell, won't that mean that he just used me as a decoration, and one that he will eliminate once he was bored?"

"F**k f**k f**k f**k f**k f**k f**k ! I don't want to end this way!"

The combination of all the negative factors around her, along with the assurance of her incoming death was enough to make the professor feel nihilistic about her situation.

In fact, her internal calculator was telling her that she only have a 5% chance of surviving her current encounter with Alex, which technically means that she's about to die.

And when she's saying that she's about to die, she is 100% serious about it.

"Judging by what I can see, it seems that Alex will be fully corrupted later…"

"Once that happens, the first thing that this fully corrupted Alex will do is to kill me…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"So I can't escape, and all my senses are telling me that I am about to die later…"

"Since that was the case, then why am I even bothering to help Alex out? If I will just be killed later, then shouldn't I do something to prevent it?"

"Of course I want to do something to prevent my death! But how can I even do that, when I can't even think of any way to escape?"

"F**k! F**k! F**k! All of this s**t sucks!!!"

"Should I just kill myself now? Well yes, I ca-"

"What the hell?"

With the power that Alex had displayed, Professor Frances knew that nobody will be interested of suddenly attacking him. Even she herself was scared of landing a blow on him, and that is even when she was feeling reckless today.

It was because of this line of thinking that Professor Frances became surprised, as out of nowhere, the 7 quarreling Abyss Sprites suddenly attacked Alex.

D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏

The 7 sprites did not show any indication of attacking Alex, as they suddenly attacked him altogether.

They did not speak, or even taunt their master as they sent out their attacks.

They just attacked, and they did so with ferocity comparable to that of a rushing flood.

D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏

Blades made up of black flames sprouted out of Wrath's hands, which he then sent hurtling towards the relaxed Alex.

Each blade burned with the ferocity enough to melt almost anything, and space itself was also affected by it.

"Crackle crackle…"

Even Alex's skin was no match against the blades, and the professor could only watch in fascination as the blades sank into his skin like tofu.

D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏

Pride also sent out his own set of blades, but instead of being made up of black flames, his was composed of golden leaves.

"Hong long~"

Yes, this imagery is hard to imagine, but Professor Frances could swear that she can see the golden leaves, and she could also confirm that they are sharp enough to cut Alex's fingers.

D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏

The third sprite to unleash an attack was Envy, which she did so through a violet-tinged lance that she hurled towards Alex's left foot.

"Schwing!"

Professor Frances is not that 'magical' enough to know what the effect of the lance could be, but judging from the blood-curdling scream that Alex made when the lance touched his foot, the effect could not be that mild.

D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏

Sloth did not appear to have made his attack, but the bubbles of space-time that he discreetly tossed to Alex were still noticed by the professor.

"Glu glu glu…"

The target of these bubbles was Alex's head, which the latter naturally tried to move out of the way.

Unfortunately for Alex, the bubbles still hit his head, resulting in a distortive effect that made even the hardy professor wince.

D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏

Even without seeing her attacks, it was obvious that Lust's targets will either be Alex's ass or d**k.

In this case, her flock of crows were sent straight towards his ass.

"Wak wak wak!"

As for its effects, the professor did not have time to observe it as she focused her attention on the remaining two sprites.

D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏

Greed's attack was not visible at all, but the sudden disappearance of Alex's domineering presence and aura made the professor know that the greedy sprite must have stolen something from Alex.

Oh, and a portion of Alex's clothes had disappeared too, so the injured man was also left partially naked.

D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏

Gluttony's attack on the other hand was not subtle at all.

In fact, his attack was the most flamboyant, as he summoned a black hole that covered the entirety of Alex's torso.

D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏
