289 Chapter 288 (2/2)
”Transfer, is that the name of the skill?” Leon asked. ”It looks like it is an improved version of Checkpoint.”
”I gave you the information you asked for,” Alurelle glared at Leon with her unfocused eyes. ”Now promise me that you won't touch them.”
”… We lost our planets because we weren't strong enough when the third stage of assimilation started.” Alurelle bit her lips. ”We lost them before we could even react… without any other choice, we created a plan to flee to another assimilated world, where we still could grow stronger… until one day, we obtain the power to reclaim our worlds.”
”You guys have a decent goal… but you guys are killing the people of this world and, at the same time leading them to their doom,” Leon said. ”So, I guess you are not much different from the creatures that took over your planets.”
”You are wrong! We are here only to challenge the dungeons and strengthen ourselves!” Alurelle shouted. ”Assholes like Ivolaer and Inglar kill the soldiers of this world, but that is not the goal of our group.”
”Inglar? Who is that? The fire titan?” Leon frowned. ”Either way, it looks like despite having a common goal, your group isn't that cooperative. Regardless, it doesn't mean anything to me if you kill the people of this world or not… In any case, if your friends don't bother me, I promise I won't do anything to them.”
After that, Alurelle lowered her head and prepared herself. The fate of those who drop their guards on the battlefield was obvious. She was in another world, where she was the enemy of the dominant of that world. Still… she was attacked by surprise, so Alurelle accepter her death.
Noticing her resolution, Leon could only sigh. For the first time of his life, Leon was afraid of himself, while his hand approached Alurelle to use Seal, he noticed that he was trembling like a leaf. Those harvesters weren't his enemies, but he was willing to use their lives just to achieve his goals faster… he obtained the information he wanted, despite that, Leon was still willing to treat those who weren't his enemies like tools… in a sense, he wasn't much better than Donan.
”Tch…” Leon clicked his tongue in annoyance.
Leon grabbed a mithril staff and hit on Alurelle's head. He would probably regret that later, but at the moment, Leon was unable to shut up his conscience…
Alurelle woke up in the middle of a random island, and at that very moment, she recalled every single part of the conversation she had with that strange individual. In the end, he spared her, but for what? Alurelle didn't even have her… her limbs were back, and all the wounds of her body disappeared.
”What the…” Alurelle murmured in shock.
