The moment Alex's mind snapped back to reality, he didn't hesitate.
His body reacted the instant he was back in control, pushing forward with explosive speed.
Fwish! Dash!
His feet barely grazed the ground as he launched himself toward the Hatred Demon, moving as fast as his body allowed.
His mind had already made the decision, and now his body was simply following through.
[The Crown of Calamity acknowledges your intent. We will protect you.]
That was all the confirmation he needed.
He didn't care about the size difference, about how this monstrosity towered over him like a living mountain.
The Hatred Demon was at least five hundred times his size, but that meant nothing.
Even giants could fall. Even gods could bleed.
The laughter of the Hatred Demon echoed through the air like a chorus of voices speaking in unison.
Its hole-like face twisted, the dozens of glowing red eyes following his every movement.
