[Third Step – Wraith's Crossing]!
Alex dashed towards the mountainside where the Divine Dragon had detonated.
One might have expected Peyton's body to be completely obliterated, given that he had been at the epicentre of the explosion.
However, that was not the case.
With the aid of his Truth-Seeker Eyes, Alex had already spotted something hurtling into the mountainside in the aftermath of the blast.
What he found was none other than Brock Peyton.
The man was barely recognisable. His face and limbs were horribly scorched, flesh charred and broken—yet somehow, he clung to life… if only by the faintest thread.
He was incapable of moving on his own.
Alex's gaze shifted to the man's armour.
Despite everything, it remained largely intact. Once the soot was cleared, it would require only a modest amount of repair and refitting to be usable once more.
Without ceremony, Alex began stripping the dying man of his armour.
