As the two bodies fell into the ground creating a thud sound, a dead silence fell upon this zone of the forest, it was as if time had stopped.
None of the remaining wolves had expected this outcome, they were expecting their enemy to be shred to pieces under the combined might of their alpha and their number 2. Unfortunately, it was not what happened, it was their alpha and their number 2 who died at the hand of their enemy.
Currently, there was only thought inside the mind of the remaining wolves,
'Flee.'
Immediately, without looking at each, as if they shared the same thoughts, the remaining wolves turned tails and ran for their lives.
Alex grinned before starting to massacre the poor wolves one by one. Even so, some had managed to escape, he chose to let them go.
After killing the last wolf in his vicinity, Alex heaved a sigh. He started digesting his gain. Previously he too focused on killing the remaining wolves to take the time to digest what he got.
Just as he kills the alpha and the black wolf, he noticed something unusual, something flew out of their corpses and entered his body. His body became light all of sudden as if he had gained something. Somehow, even without checking, he was sure that his stats must have experienced a slight increase.
''So that's it. If I kill a stronger opponent such as these two. My stats will quickly increase compared to killing a lot of low-level monsters.''
Alex murmured, his eyes flashed in understanding before he sighed when he thought about Silveria not informing him about something this important.
''Well, knowing her she must've done this intentionally. She must've wanted me to find out on my own. There's no need to cry over spilled milk. What's left for me to do is to go massacre some high-level monsters.'' Alex mumbled, his heterochromia eyes were shinning, he couldn't wait to go slaughter all of the high monsters inside the forest to see how much his stats would increase.
However, he quickly calmed down, nothing good would come out with him acting recklessly as killing high-level monsters will not an easy feat. Better carefully plan things before going all out.
After he decided what to do, Alex wanted to continue forward but he suddenly stopped because Silveria appeared right before him.
She was floating in the hair. Locking eyes with Alex she announced.
''Time out. Let's go back. It was already night. Little Alexandra is anxious because you're not responding to her calls for hours.''
''What? How much time passed since I came here?'' Alex asked.
''Five hours outside. Ten here.'' Silveria answered.
Alex sucked a mouthful of air, he hadn't thought so much time had passed, he was too engrossed in his fight to notice the passing time. He decided to go back and continue his training later.
''Let's go.''
Silveria nodded before flicking her fingers, everything disappeared.
Back in the real-life, Alex woke up feeling exhausted. It must be because of what he experienced inside his dream when he was training.
When he opened the door, he saw a worried Gracier standing in front of his door.
''Evening Alexandra.'' Alex greeted her while scratching his head.
Gracier was elated when she saw her big brother, she wanted to hug him, but she stopped and pouted.
''Big brother is a meanie. You were inside the whole time and yet you did not answer my calls. I wonder what you've been doing all the time that keeps you so busy that you can ignore your sister?"
Alex could only smile helplessly when he saw his sister's mood.
''Let's go eat. I'm rather hungry. Don't worry, I will tell you what I've been doing once we're done eating.'' Alex announced, he was trying to soothe his sister.
As expected when Gracier heard Alex's promise, she calmed down before dragging Alex with her.
When they finished eating, Alex explained what he had been doing. He explained about his training.
Gracier could not hide the envy she felt when she heard her brother's words. She pestered Ignia to also devise something like that for her. She didn't want to be left out, the gap between the two was already wide even before this training, it was going to widen more if she stays silent not doing anything.
Considered the incoming Mock battle in few days she ought to train to perform well during this mock battle not to put shame on her brother, shame on the Touch's family. In this mock battle they must show that even though it is a small family, it was not to be trifled with.
•••••
Back inside his room, Alex sat on his bed before calling Silveria out.
When she appeared, she was looking sleepy like some who just finished exhausting work. Curious as to why she was looking like this, Alex asked.
''Nemesis, what happened?"
''Nothing, I'm just a little bit tired after performing such arduous tasks like creating the training tower,'' she explained while laying on Alex's bed as if she owned it.
Alex's face twitched when he saw this, however, he decided to not comment because he just heard something interesting.
'So, The Illusionary Battlefield is a tower? I wonder how many floors there is in a total?' he wondered, he could have asked Silveria about it however he decided not to as the latter was already sleeping.
She seemed so defenseless that does who don't know her would think of assaulting her. However, Alex knew he'd be doomed if he were to attempt anything. How knows maybe it was a trap she'd carefully planned.
Shaking his head, Alex decided to focus on something more urgent. Now that it seems he would not be going into the Illusionary Battlefield because of how tired Silveria was, he decided to check his status to see what he gained.
Thinking about his status, a blue window panel appeared right before his eyes.

''So, I gained only 10 points after all my kills?" Alex mumbled a little bit dejected.
If others were to hear him complaining, they would have cursed him. This is not farming for XP, it was training, you train in your dream to be able to perfectly display your power and at the same time, you gain few stats points. Others would kill to have what Alex has and yet here he's complaining.
Shaking his head as too ridiculous his behavior was, Alex decided to sleep. Now that he was aware of what he gained, he ought to try to clear the Level 1 of the Illusionary Battlefield, The Endless Forest.
'I wonder how much I'll get once I cleared the Level 1?' Alex wondered, his eyes were shining, if not because of Silveria's state he would have continued his intense training. If he were to do this it wouldn't have helped him because he must first digest what he gained before continuing. It seemed that Silveria was aware of this, it was why she feigned being exhausted, it was not that she was not exhausted, just it was not to the extent that Alex could not continue training.
Alex went to bed, he did his best to not stay too close to Silveria because knowing her she may use this as an excuse to strike.
•••••
The next morning Alex woke up feeling refreshed, when he checked if Silveria was sleeping beside him, he did not see her. It seemed that she had already left going to her world.
Alex let out a small chuckle as he had expected her to try something. Not that he was not prepared if she did anything, his divine sense was activated all night.
After doing his morning exercise, taking a shower, and switching into his school uniform. Alex with his sister left for school.
Chris's class ended after few hours, after exchanging jokes with Leon and Ferris. Alex approached Luna, the two greeted each other before discussing the meeting place to start their date.
Just when Alex was about to leave after he finished talking with Luna, Maria stopped him.
''Alex, please take care of her. I hope you will listen to her story,'' she said, her gaze when she was talking was serious.
Alex nodded his head before leaving. He ignored Damien who was glaring at him. He had more important things to do, he was hoping to use this opportunity to train like he did yesterday.
