Chapter 322: Irjas Suspicion (2/2)
”And? Aren't you just going wild with your assumptions? If I'm really as special or unique as you think, why am I here with you assisting this tribe? They should've sent me far away by now, right?”
Stumped at my question, Irja took a whole five minutes without being able to come up with a correct response. Embarrassed, she left the tent with a reddened face.
How old is she to still act like that? Well, my Companions also act cutely like that whenever I tease them after all.
Besides, I can't really blame her. She came here to confirm her suspicions about my identity but the result was she ended up being confused instead. And I doubt she will stop at this.
For that woman to confront me this early, her self-proclaimed sensitivity to anyone observing her was probably the reason for it. Also, Klement knew about her suspicion and probably had a part in why she chose to come here. Otherwise, if he's truly someone who doesn't care about small things, he wouldn't tell me the same words as her before we separated yesterday. Beneath that lazy façade of his, he's also sly and clever.
I wonder how Alwyn or the one observing them will take this visit of Irja? Will they kill them? Also what about Yatapa? Sometimes it's the silent ones who are the most deadly.

A day instantly passed by after Irja visited me. That night, Alwyn once again paid a visit to me, informing me that Klement and Irja met after the woman left my tent.
I summarized what happened and like I expected, she was already about to tell the one monitoring the two to take care of them. But I stopped her.
It's not that I pity the two but like Udann, I might be able to make use of them. I need to know their real thoughts. That's why when I saw them the morning after, I greeted them normally but I already added to my character what I revealed to Irja.
The Oxflame Monarch and the other Monarchs put in charge for defending this Dimensional Space already determined the time when the Dimensional Barrier will weaken.
It will be tonight.
Because of that, the Exalted in charge of the supplies called upon us to start preparing to enter it while introducing the cargo we will be carrying inside.
”This is one of the weapons that you will be carrying inside the Dimensional Space. The Thunder Ripper.”
Carried by one of his two Rank 2 Transcendent assistants, a gigantic long-ranged weapon that looked like an artillery cannon was put down in front of us. It was at least 10 meters tall and weighed more than how it looks. Considering that it instantly embedded itself onto the ground, it's more than a metric ton. Upon observing it with my Adaptability, it's far from modern weapons on earth. The weapon is just simply forged in that shape and in place of mechanisms, it's filled with at least three Formations.
However, being a Transcendent, everyone already had at least 100 Strength, lifting something like this is easily done.
They had those black pouches in this world but even to a Prime Tribe like the Dafirae, it's still a precious commodity. Apparently, they looted most of the black pouches from the Transcendents sent by a Transcendent World long ago. They then researched on that to produce their own but it's hard to reproduce even until this day. That's why energy stones and weapons such as this Thunder Ripper were still needed to be carried. If not for that, we would become their infantry aka cannon fodder instead.
As the Rank 1 Transcendents looked at it in awe, it appears that only large tribes like the Dafirae possessed this kind of weapon. It can only be operated by three Rank 2 Transcendents and will have the power of close to Rank 3.
Some of the freed Rank 2 Transcendents' role is to operate these weapons while a part of them will be fighting at the front.
After that, he continued to introduce more things that we needed to carry. Apart from the large weapons like the Thunder Ripper, crates of food and medicine were also included.
It wasn't explained before but thanks to Alwyn, I'm already aware. Once we enter the Dimensional Space, we will only be allowed to leave it after a week.
When those freed Rank 1 Transcendents, whose hope was reignited yesterday, heard about it, they instantly raised a ruckus which was also instantly quelled when the Exalted subjected them under his Transcendent Aura.
