Amidst the clash, Alex couldn't help but notice Derek's unwillingness to engage further. His eyes narrowed, the intensity of his gaze shifting from the Sin of Greed to the tumultuous battlefield unfolding below them. The soldiers clashed with ferocious beasts, a chaotic dance that painted the battleground in hues of crimson.

As Alex observed the relentless battle, a realization dawned upon him. The beasts, despite the brutality of the conflict, were not succumbing to the fatal blows inflicted upon them.

A wave of suspicion gripped Alex as he honed in on the peculiar phenomenon. The battlefield was a tapestry of carnage, but amidst the chaos, a strange energy permeated the air, colorless yet pulsating with an unseen vitality.

Alex's keen senses detected the anomaly; an energy with extreme healing properties preventing the beasts from meeting their demise. His eyes narrowed further as he dissected the nature of this mysterious force.
