289 Chapter 288 (1/2)
Despite saying that kind of thing while smiling, Leon felt a terrible taste in his mouth. Physical and psychological torture… he never imagined he would fall so low. He fought against numerous monsters and humans, he didn't take pleasure on that, but even though he killed a lot, he never retorted to torture… causing pain to an already defeated foe was… unsettling.
Leon begun to feel even worse when Alurelle started to tremble and bite her lips, it looked like Darya was right, the harvesters came from the same world… or from at least the same solar system.
”It is your choice, this may end with you, or I will continue with your friends…” Leon said. ”In fact, I'm looking forward to creating magic weapons using their spirits too.”
”… Why do you want to learn that?” Alurelle asked.
”Why do you care?” Leon frowned. ”… Well, keeping that as a secret or telling won't change anything… I want to return to my world, that is why. A lizard bastard brought me to this place, hoping that I would die here…”
”You are not from this world…” Alurelle said, surprised. ” Even if I told you, you wouldn't be able to return to your world.”
”Why?” Leon asked.
”A lot of mana is necessary to use that method, fair more than you or I have,” Alurelle explained. ”Besides, you would have to know the precise location of the planet you want to go to. You don't know that, right?”
”Shit…” Leon bit his lips and clenched his fists.
”We had to collect mana from millions of monsters to have enough mana to travel to the nearest planet that also had been assimilated,” Alurelle said. ”We searched for other planets to divide ourselves, but there wasn't a single planet that had been assimilated by the system in this part of the universe… Your planet is probably on the other side of the universe. Even if you sacrifice mana of a few planets, you wouldn't be able to return.”
”I will return… that bastard summoned me with a single spell, and he didn't look tired,” Leon said. ”You guys method is just crude, that is why you need so much mana. Besides, you are from a race of warriors, so it doesn't surprise me that you managed to learn such a low-level of teleportation… Still, maybe by learning that, I can find a way to learn the real teleportation. Tell me about the spell you guys used.”
”I don't know the details… What I do know is that to travel between my world and this world, we had to create a bridge made of mana,” Alurelle explained. ”You connect two places with enough mana, and you will be able to Transfer to the second point.”
