Alice looked at Alexia in front of her, her eyes filled with shock.
When did Alexia's magic power become so strong? It's almost as strong as mine.
"Sister, you go first, I'll stop this guy!"
"But you!"
"Sister, you don't have any magic power left, do you?"
Alice fell silent; she knew that if she stayed here, she would only become a burden.
"Then, Alexia, please be careful!"
Alice retreated, while the other Knights Order members merely watched from a distance.
Jeno in this state was not someone they could approach; anyone who dared to get close would be killed.
At this moment, Jeno stood up.
Alexia was just showing off; her current strength was no match for this monster.
Suddenly, a huge explosion sound occurred in the distance.
Purple magic light illuminated the sky.
Jeno let out a roar and stood up.
He swung his fist fiercely towards Alexia.
"Alexia!!!"
Jeno roared in a hoarse voice.
"Boom!"
Alexia gathered magic power onto her magic sword, and with a burst of white magic power, she slashed upwards.
The two forces collided, and Alexia clearly felt that her strength seemed unable to block the current Jeno.
The opponent seemed to have regained a sliver of consciousness.
His strength became even greater.
"Rumble!"
At this moment, it started to rain, and lightning raged in the clouds.
Alexia gritted her teeth and held on, clearly seeing the Phantom flying towards him.
"I'll have to trouble you again, Lord Phantom!"
The Phantom appeared between Alexia and Jeno.
He kicked Jeno away.
Jeno's huge body was sent flying at extreme speed by the Phantom's kick, rolling several times before finally stopping.
The Phantom's cloak began to billow without wind, invisible magic power surged, and the cloak swayed.
Alexia could feel the magic power around the Phantom surging.
"Rumble!"
The dark clouds in the sky became denser and denser.
A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky.
It accurately hit Jeno.
Then, one after another, bolts of lightning struck Jeno.
"How can this be? How can a person control lightning! Is he really human?" Alice exclaimed, looking at the Phantom.
At the same time, five bolts of lightning struck Jeno, making him experience the feeling of being struck by five thunderbolts.
But this was not the Phantom's limit; six bolts of lightning, seven bolts of lightning, all struck Jeno's body simultaneously.
Jeno let out a tragic scream.
"Don't repair it anymore!"
Jeno let out a pained cry; he couldn't control his body, which kept repairing his injuries, making him feel endless pain.
At the same time, ten bolts of lightning struck Jeno. At this point, Jeno's body finally couldn't withstand the medicine, and his body began to rot, eventually returning to his original human state. However, he was pitch black, looking as if he had been charred by the lightning.
Jeno's body fell and crashed to the ground.
Everything ended; the sky, which had been covered in dark clouds just moments before, became clear in an instant.
The moonlight shone on Alexia's and Alice's faces.
At this moment, Alice clearly saw Alexia, who was exceptionally disheveled all over.
"Alexia, you must keep my matter a secret!"
After the Phantom finished speaking, his body gradually dematerialized and finally disappeared.
The next day, the capital's newspapers reported everything that had happened in the Royal Capital.
There was a sudden explosion underground; there were no witnesses, and no one knew what had happened or why it exploded.
Fortunately, no one was sacrificed in the explosion.
Meanwhile, the giant Jeno killed many people by himself.
A large portion of them were members of the Knights Order.
Alexia returned home and took a comfortable hot bath.
As she came out of the bathroom, she saw her sister, Alice.
"Alexia, who kidnapped you, and what's going on with your strength?"
"The one who kidnapped me was Jeno Griffith!"
"How could it be him? Isn't he your fiancé?"
"It was that guy! He wanted some royal blood and was doing research. As a result, he was injected by that researcher and turned into that monster!"
"You mean that big guy yesterday was Jeno Griffith!"
"That's right. As for my strength, it was bestowed upon me by that man. I believe you saw it too, Sister! He struck Jeno dead with lightning."
"Who exactly is he?" Alice asked.
"Sorry, I can't say! I promised him I wouldn't tell anyone about him!"
"I'm tired! Let's talk about it tomorrow. I haven't had a good night's sleep these past few days!"
"Then you sleep!" Alice left.
The events of these past few days left Alice feeling very lost. She suddenly realized that her strength seemed insufficient, and the prestige of her Martial Heart Festival champion title had diminished significantly.
Xi Nuo returned to his home, where Beta was already waiting.
"Greetings, Lord Phantom!" Beta knelt on one knee and said.
"Greetings, Lord Phantom!"
The people behind Beta repeated.
"You may rise!"
"Beta, do you need something from me?"
"I brought these people to meet Lord Phantom! According to Lord Phantom's order, only those with stronger abilities can have names. They are the 16 strongest individuals besides the Seven Shadows!"
"Besides the Seven Shadows and Omicron, all other named individuals are here!"
Xi Nuo looked at everyone, scanning them with his magic power. These individuals were not weak at all, only slightly inferior to the Seven Shadows, and three of them were even stronger than Milia.
These three people were very familiar. They had appeared in the original plot.
Lambda, the one-eyed instructor.
The golden-haired elf, Xi, the 22nd letter of the Greek alphabet.
The black-haired dark elf with a mark on her face, Omega, the 24th letter of the Greek alphabet.
"Well done, I recognize your strength!"
"For our first meeting, I'll give you some gifts!"
Xi Nuo waved his hand, and purple magic power covered everyone. Each of them felt their magic power grow stronger.
"Thank you, Lord Phantom!"
"Lord Phantom, Alpha has planned to build a base in the Royal Capital. This place will become a branch base of Shadow Garden in the future. The location will be chosen by Gamma! Mitsugoshi Company will be our overt cover! This is Alpha's plan that she asked me to convey to you!"
"Well done, you've worked hard!" the Phantom said.
"You all may disperse. Lord Phantom and I have private matters to attend to! I'm giving each of you a day off; you can do whatever you want during this time!"
"Yes!"
The 16 coded members left.
"Nu, what kind of private matters do you think Lord Beta and Lord Phantom have? Why did we have to leave?"
"I don't know, it must be something very important!"
"That's right, perhaps only the Seven Shadows and Lord Phantom are qualified to know such things!"
At this moment, a person walked towards the group.
"Have any of you ever had a boyfriend?"
"Who are you?" Lambda asked coldly.
"Me? I am Lord Phantom's maid, code-named Omicron!" Milia said.
"I am Lambda!"
"I am Mu, please guide me in the future!"
"Sigma!"
..."I am Omega!"
The sixteen individuals introduced themselves one by one.
"I can tell none of you have ever had a boyfriend. Lord Beta's intentions are written all over her face!"
At this moment, in Xi Nuo's room, Beta looked at the Phantom with affectionate eyes...
