Chapitre 118: End of the Event, Task from the Dark Queen

'Five…'

'Four…'

Erix continued the countdown while feeling slight tremors in his body and rising internal nervousness amidst soul and consciousness trapped in a blank space.

'Two…'

'One…'

Like a dying man receiving his breath of life, Erix's senses returned to him at once, overwhelming him for a second as his silent space world suddenly crumbled.

Erix drilled out of the ground, scaring the fox girl as she jumped back with a startled yelp.

"You scared me! Hehe, but I knew there was someone underneath," the fox girl giggled. 

Erix looked at her while dusting himself and said, "Hi. I don't want to fight you because I have a target to hunt. What about you?"

The fox girl's dark orange ears fluffed left and right a bit as she grinned. "You are handsome, so I'll spare you. Let's meet outside."

"My seeds are reserved for someone else," Erix wryly smiled. "Sorry."
