Chapter 81 - The Ark Of Understanding Umbras (1/2)
”As I said, part of it doesn't seem to make sense.”
Mavislin perked her ears up.
”The Element of Existence, it would just be too overpowering, right?”
”Yes, that's why they got food-poisoned. Let me finish my account,” said Mavislin, ostensibly annoyed at Gab.
”Sorry, you may continue.”
”As I was saying, the Umbras ate the food, thus getting food-poisoned. They then went mad and took a voyage across the Universe. Unfortunately, Earth happens to be one of their pitstops,” explained the Valkyrie, looking at the world map.
”One of their pitstops? You are telling me there are more of them out there?” asked Earl Yan.
”Well, of course. It's called a family for a reason.”
The Earl shrugged his shoulders.
”And when they do get food-poisoned, they consume any being without limits.”
”Like a starving madman,” said Gab.
”The only safe bet for us is their physical form. Once they have taken a physical victim, they are stuck with it for the next hundred years.”
”That's something worth working on,” said Earl Yan.
The room was silent before the Earl decided to break it.
”You say as if the Umbra family are taking a vacation here. A happy family reunion,” said the man, holding his feather pen up.
”I did not mention anything about the whole family coming here at once.”
”Wait, what?” asked the two men.
”Holy crap, if the whole family was here, we would be doomed. Earth wouldn't even be able to see the sun. All 10 of them would be able to take out the whole Solar system,” said Mavislin, almost cracking a smile.
”So how many are there?” asked Earl Yan.
”Four of them. One for each domain.”
The two men looked at the Valkyrie as if she had lost her mind.
