This was why the undead guide was hurt after his first battle with Alex.
The destruction of the domain had damaged him.
The area of the maze where the domain had formed also gone, and with it, his strength had weakened.
He gritted his teeth.
The Death Maze was connected to him.
Its destruction was his destruction.
Alex crossed his arms, watching the Undead Guide's reaction with amusement.
He took a step forward, his voice taking on a teasing edge.
"Though, of course, this is all just an assumption," he continued. "But I bet it's pretty close to the truth, isn't it?"
The Undead Guide's glowing eyes narrowed.
He didn't respond.
Not because Alex was wrong, but because he was right.
Alex grinned, watching the hesitation flicker across the Guide's face.
"Oh? No rebuttal?" He let out a chuckle.
"Guess I must've hit the mark, huh?"
