Chapter 632
INSIDE A CERTAIN SOMEONE'S MIND .
[Surrender to the Abyss, my young Envoy . There's nowhere for you to go anyway, so you might as well give up…]
"No… I can't give up! This is my body!"
[Envoy, this may be your body, but didn't you offer it to us during your fight with the Child of Chaos?]
"I didn't offer my body to you! I just allowed you to occupy a portion of it!"
[Oh right, that's actually what we talked about . My bad . ]
"Your bad? Ugh, do you know how much nightmares and suffering I experienced all this time? It's just too much that I am almost about to get crazy!"
[Well, well, well, at least you had managed to retain your sanity . Isn't that a good thing for you too, Envoy?"
"You!"
[Okay, chop chop . I failed to completely occupy your body, so I might as well leave . You're really lucky this time, Envoy . But don't expect this to happen again…]

TRAVELER'S WORLD .
9 MONTHS LATER .
The battle between Alex and the Rainbow Dude went down as one of the greatest events that had happened in the Traveler's World .
Nothing that happened in the past could even compare to the sheer scale and magnitude of this fight, and many doubted that such fight could occur again in the future .
Even the Returners who were able to survive that day's events all agreed that this fight was something else .
Alex can say that too, if it were not for the fact that he fell into a coma right after he killed the Rainbow Dude .
Not much was known on why Alex suddenly plunged on a coma, but many suspect that it was because of the power-up that he used to defeat his opponent .
The other Returners and Alex's followers did not say anything related to these matters, leaving many wondering on what really happened .
But since Alex is still alive, then there is actually no cause for anyone to worry .
After all, with Alex's abilities, he can surely recover from his coma .
However, that notion was quickly put into challenge when Alex's coma did not stop for just a day .
It went on for many days, and before anyone could know it, Alex's coma had already lasted for several months .
9 months to be exact .
With this kind of long coma, even those who believed greatly in Alex started to doubt themselves, as they knew that for someone like Alex to stay in coma for 9 months is not a good scenario .
So much was their worry, that these people tried to probe Alex's exact condition .
These people's attempts were quickly thwarted however, as Alex's allies and followers stopped anyone who tried to investigate something .
No matter where these people came from, or what they tried to do, all of them were easily chased away . Even the Returners themselves who wanted to check in on Alex were all kicked out too .
With this kind of security in place, there should not be many idiots that will try to push their luck .
But on the contrary, many hardheaded people still attempt to visit Alex every single day… .
*************
Such thing was also happening today, with a group of powerful Travelers currently flying towards Alex's resting place with excited looks on their faces .
With the power that their bodies were releasing, one can say that they might have a chance to actually force their way in to see Alex .
But just like all the ones who had arrived earlier, these people were easily slapped away by Alex's guards .
[ Alina ]: Tsk, why won't these people stop coming? I know that they idolize Alex because of what he did, but don't they know that he needs to rest? Tsk, these people are grating on my nerves already!
[ Delia ]: If you're not happy with what's happening, then you should know that I am not happy too . I should have been sleeping inside my room, fully bathed after an intense training . But look at what I am doing here! I am forced to guard that man just because he's y in grave danger! Tsk, this is so much irritating to me… .
The ones that are currently guarding Alex's body today were Alina and Delia, both who looked like they were already tired of what they were doing .
Both women certainly had power enough to be guarding Alex, but there was no excitement or solemnity on their faces as they did their task .
Instead, only an expression of irritation could be seen on their faces, one which was compounded by their increasingly angry words to each other .
[ Alina ]: If you don't want to stay here, then fine . I will guard Alex myself . But if Alex wakes up today and he finds out that you slacked off on him, what do you think would he do?
[ Delia ]: Ha? Are you making me feel guilty again, Alina? Hmph, nice try, but that won't work on me again! So just-
[ Alina ]: Alex is the Envoy of the Abyss Realm, and yet he placed his life at risk just to save many . Isn't that a noble deed, one that can only be deemed as 'Justice'? With that kind of action, shouldn't you, a person who cherishes justice, do your best to assist him?
[ Delia ]: You…
[ Alina ]: Hehehe, what do you think will happen when the Holy Order Realm hears that you actually abandoned a person who saved a world? Do you think they will be happy? I guess not .
[ Delia ]: Tsk, do you really think that you can make me stay? So what if Alex did a noble deed? He's still an Abyss Monster, and he's lucky that I am not trying to kill him now!
[ Alina ]; Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get that, Delia . But even if Alex is an Abyss Monster, I am sure that you are already treating him like an ally . You can't deny that, as my eyes can see your feelings now .
[ Delia ]: !!!
[ Alina ]: Heh, you can't rebuke what I just said, right? Tsk, tsk, tsk . So you really treat Alex as an ally now . What a surprise… .
[ Delia ]: H-h-he… .
[ Alina ]: There's no need for you to say anything, Delia . Just stay still on your spot and continue guarding Alex . As long as you do that, I assure you that Alex will not know what we just talked about here .
[ Delia ]: … .
[ Alina]: … .
[ Delia ]: …
[ Alina ]: … .
[ Delia ]: You… you are becoming more like Alex, Alina! Ugh, why did you end up like this? You're supposed to be a hard-headed fighter, not an effing schemer!
[ Alina ]: Just shut up already and do your job, Delia . Because if you keep on slacking off, I will really spill a lot of your secrets to Alex once he wakes up… .
[ Delia ]: … .
[ Alina]: … .
[ Delia ]: …
[ Alina ]: … .
[ Delia ]: … Fine, you win this time, Alina . But don't expect that this will happen again!
[ Alina ]: Yeah, yeah, yeah . I've heard that threat so many times already that is just sound bland to me . Don't you have any better threats?
[ Delia ]: … .
Although the way that Alina and Delia interacted with each other makes everyone worry that a fight might break out, the two women were able to actually hold themselves back before their bodies could swing at one another .
Such restraint made the area around these two women look peaceful, although not many still dare to get near to them .
