Ares was in a complex mood.
As the son of Zeus, with the power of a Supreme Deity and the renowned title of God of War, Ares found himself threatened and tasked with such menial duties.
Yet, the items William offered were enticing.
He had no reason to refuse William.
After parting ways with William, Ares discreetly followed Alice, observing her from the shadows.
Alice's speed in aerial flight was decent, but her pursuers were veterans.
A barrage of magical artifacts and spells forced Alice to defensively encase herself with the alchemical furnace to escape.
"Ha! Really now…" Ares couldn't help but laugh at the sight.
Such a top-tier alchemical furnace was being used by Alice as a turtle shell.
The attackers, mostly at the Nature Deity level, couldn't breach the defense of the alchemical furnace with their magical artifacts and spells, barely causing Alice any harm.
