A crimson aura exploded outward, consuming the space in violent waves as a system panel flashed before Alex and Lord X.

A chill spread through the air, suffocating and thick with an unnatural weight.
The ground trembled beneath their feet, the force of the energy release cracking the stone floor.
Lord X, who had moments ago been frozen in fear, now stared wide-eyed at the notification.
He had watched in horror as the [Hatred Demon] convulsed violently, its monstrous body twitching as if suffering a seizure.
He thought Alex's interference had ruined everything.
But now… now he knew the truth.
A crazed smile spread across his face as a feverish gleam lit up his eyes.
"THE LORD IS HERE!" he screamed, his voice filled with fanatic devotion. "AMAZING!"
Alex barely glanced at him, "Yeah, fuck that," he muttered, dashing forward without hesitation.
