Chapter 102: Because of Fear (3) (2/2)
“Do you want to try dying? You would also be able to learn s”
“No, I don’t want to”
“I expected as much But I am surprised To think the myth about La Bella was true”
“Yes, it is the truth Can I go now?”
“You seeent to leave Why? Are you still uncomfortable?” The witch said with sad eyes Now that Chi-Woo looked closer, there was a small teardrop below her left eye, which ered all his protective instincts and a desire to comfort her countless times
“If you let er,” Chi-Woo said
The witch iht face in reproof and said, “I’ll get right to the point”
Noting her narrowed eyes, Chi-Woo soing to ask me to join you?”
The witch widened her eyes for a ht?”
“Yes”
“Then, help us”
“What?” Chi-Woo was the one widening his eyes this tiht she would force hi a request
“Those demon bastards have cooked up quite a cumberso to the monsters he saw at the Evelaya volcano He had wondered why the ain, but there turned out to be a faction behind it
“I’ you would resolve this matter, so that our side won’t have to pay attention to it anyer The , but if soh to be a threat to a force like the one the witch was a member of, he would shake his head Even Chi-Woo could easily beat one or two monsters at a time Of course, it would be a coht tens or hundreds of them
“I have a question”
“Go on” The witch coolly accepted Chi-Woo’s request
“From what I heard, there are a total of four factions who could be considered Liber’s ht”
“And you must be part of one of the four”
“Yep”
“It’s difficult for me to believe that a faction with so with monsters at that level, even if there are hundreds or thousands of the over this harsh world must have formidable power…
“If we’re in a situation where we can just deal with those monsters, you’ll be correct” She affirht “However, our faction isn’t in a place to waste our time on such lowly monsters” The witch smiled and continued, “You probably won’t understand Even if I explain it to you” Her smile was cruel and evil like that of a real witch, unlike the sensual and careless smile she had on her face before “If it’s possible, I want to show you at this veryaround this world…”
Chi-Woo could grasp a few things froone through all kinds of dangers across quite a sine what kind of probleer area would have to deal with
“It’s not only the Dehed “There’s also the Monster Alliance… A couple of o, the Sernitas went on the offensive”
“The Sernitas?”
“You don’t even know them? They’re the alien species that invaded Liber”
Chi-Woo gasped in surprise
“They’re an organization renowned in space for their conquest It’s to the extent that we can no longer consider the”
Chi-Woo learned soroup Chi-Woo decided to co”
“They are,” the witch said flatly “Even in my life and after death…I’ve never seen a species that attacked so strongly and elegantly”
“Strongly? Elegantly?”
“According to my infor one of Liber’s Gods and transfor, and they’ll soon send the of what our situation is like?”
Chi-Woo clicked his tongue They captured Liber’s God and transfor? He didn’t even know that was possible ‘That’s why…’ He found out why his brother had such a difficult tihly understood the situation The faction to which the witch belonged was called ‘Abyss’ which was known to have crawled up from the very botto overwhelmed by the Sernitas ahts, Chi-Woo decided to make a bold bluff “What if I refuse?”
“I hope you decide not to” Surprisingly, the witch spoke softly as if she was trying to persuade hi the truth, you’ll be able to destroy all the h Liber”
“It’s not like they’re gathered in one area They’re scattered all over Liber Even going around the border would taketime”
“Yes, but at most about ten days for you”
“And what do you think will happen if someone like me leaves the frontlines for ten days?”
“But you have enough time to leisurely talk to me like this?” Chi-Woo looked at the witch with nervousness as he asked this question
After a short silence, the witch replied, “…I don’t invest in worthless matters I can’t afford to even leave the frontlines for a few moments, but I’ve done so and come all the way to meet you here… That means I found the visit hile”
“…”
“If I gain so much more valuable than the tiain”
“…Is that so”
“I hope you think of ht This isn’t a bad deal for you and your people”
“Why is that?”
“The area that the Sernitas will soon be expanding towards is not far froiven the leeway to concentrate fully on their forces, it’ll be easier for us to fight them off” That sounded somewhat like a threat
Chi-Woo folded his arms and closed his eyes in contemplation First of all, he was surprised by the witch’s attitude She was different from what Ru Amuh had described, and she didn’t force or push hi hiht be mistaken—he would even describe her attitude as favorable Even though he had thrown in so words a few ti the differences in their strengths and the power her group held
‘Is their situation that dire…?’ It was not a bad decision to accept her request They needed to settle here anyway To that end, theyeverywhere across Liber sooner or later However, he was reluctant to just say ‘yes’ He would be a fool to believe that was enough for him to establish a friendly relationshi+p with the witch, let alone the Abyss Faction Thus, he needed to use this opportunity to get everything he could get—even if thatthe “First…”
