The moment Alex saw that the paw print on his left bicep was gone, he immediately jumped into action.
He spread his spiritual sense in a wide area, locating many of the important people in the palace. "I'm going away for a while. I'll be back soon," he told them.
Then, he teleported away, arriving on top of the teleportation platform behind the palace. He activated the script without hesitation and in the next moment he was gone.
Alex arrived in the northern desert of the Western Continent and immediately flew away from there, moving in the direction of the Beast realm.
His speed was far faster than any boat artifact he could use, and as such he would arrive by the Beast realm in just an hour.
Alex checked his arm again, to make sure he wasn't mistaken. He even hoped he was. However, the mark was still gone, which meant… Alex didn't want to think about what that meant.
