Stay tuned to empire\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His form was obscured by a swirling cloak of black energy, but his eyes glowed with an unsettling crimson light that pierced the gloom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is everything prepared?\" His voice was deep and resonant, carrying an unspoken authority that demanded obedience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord X!\" Kofuku practically leapt forward, his excitement barely contained. \"We've been waiting!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dominic stepped forward, his expression calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everything is ready, as planned.

Leave no witnesses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to his commands, the shadowy arms launched toward Alex, Alice, and Aurelia at terrifying speed, seemingly wanting to take them by surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The Heart of Calamity senses an ominous power approaching from behind.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The Cursed Eyes of the King advise immediate avoidance.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord X's status as a Tier-10 entity, a level 1500 powerhouse, meant Alex stood no chance against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with his strongest allies, including the [Three-Headed Calamity Hydra], [Alphox], and the [Undead King], Alex's odds were nonexistent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You could triple all of their powers and merge them together, and it still wouldn't be enough to defeat Lord X.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Alex refused to surrender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"DEATH CALL!\" he shouted, summoning the [Undead King].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeletal monarch, materialized above Alex, his hollow eyes glowing with grim determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, the king would have surely said that the help back inside the carriage was the [Death Call], but this time he actually let it slide, helping out Alex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can't win. Escape now,\" the king advised, his voice firm as he stared at the shadow arms heading toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silver energy enveloped the [Undead King] as skeletal arms erupted from the ground, meeting the shadowy limbs mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clash only held for a second as his skeleton arms weren't strong enough to hold the shadow arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that second was all Alex needed to grab Alice and Aurelia's hands, opening his [World Map] and selecting the [Fox Tribe Village].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flash of light, they teleported away just as the shadow arms struck, resulting in a massive explosion that obliterated the street where they had stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Undead King disappeared as well as Alex teleported.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aftermath was devastating, charred ground, shattered structures, and utter chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord X stared at the destruction in silence, his eyes narrowing. \"Where did he go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scanned the surroundings, his senses sharp, but Alex's presence had vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, realization dawned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex had escaped again, eluding him just as he had before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had stolen the [Heart of Calamity] and [Vial of Undead Blood], and escaped them several times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet despite the setback, Lord X remained composed.
