章 353: MTTITC III

"Come on, Alex!" she shouted, her voice filled with frustration. "We need to do something!"

Alex's eyes snapped open, a determined glint in his gaze. "Just wait," he said, his voice low and menacing.

With a deep breath, he focused his energy on the golden sage box. The box began to glow brighter, its surface pulsating with an ethereal light. A surge of power coursed through Alex's veins, and he felt a transformation taking place within him.

Suddenly, a golden ring appeared around Alex's head, pulsing with a soft, ethereal light.

"Sage Awaken V2"

Brittany watched in astonishment as the ring expanded, enveloping Alex in a cocoon of golden light. When the light faded, Alex stood before her, transformed.

"Just like that time..." Brittany muttered to herself, a sense of déjà vu washing over her.

Alex, his focus unwavering, raised his hand, a golden glow emanating from his palm. With a swift motion, he pointed it at the approaching ice demon.
