'That's the first time I have seen a presence threaten my existence at this point. And as this madwoman only trusts what she sees, she is unaware of the current danger. I don't know why, but this guy must die! No matter how much effort I have to devote to it!' While making this decision, he handed his palm towards Feyre with intrepid eyes.
"...So I'm going to go straight with you; hold my hand and see through my eyes what is really happening in this room!"
eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ "...Do you want to tell me that I'm blind?"
"Don't waste time before it's too late! Contrary to what you think, the affinity of the shadow is only one affinity among many others. I don't need to rely only on my perception to see through certain illusions that I currently see. That's wh--Keukh!
Just before he finished his sentence, he suddenly stopped with beads of sparkling sweat on his forehead while strengthening his shield, which began with cracks even though the guy was still attached to the pillars.
"Now!" He then shouted these words with dark eyes in the face of Feyre's skepticism.
"...Sigh, I hope it will be worth it." She finally sighed while giving up.
Her nonchalance even forced Alvine to frown. 'I don't understand; her excessive confidence is almost doubtful.' He whispered, grasping Feyre's hand while sharing his five senses with her thanks to his energy-sharing skill, which was no longer what it was because of its current advanced level.
As for the latter, when she touched Alvine's hand, her environment suddenly changed!
The person she saw tied to the pillars vanished suddenly. She noticed him ten meters from them, sitting casually on a strange chair with a more suffocating aura than Alvine could not even dream of having.
Subsequently, she realized that the man in front of her had nothing to do with the one she had experienced from the beginning, whether it was his appearance, aura, or even his cultivation level.
But strangely, her surprise was only short-lived before she regained her calm air.
"What is an executor doing here?" She asked, tightening her grip on Alvine's hand.
'This confirms my suspicions; even if I didn't expect her to know this guy, it's obvious that he's not an ally.' Concludes Alvine by noticing Feyre's hostility towards the stranger present with them.
'Just now, this guy talked about treason, which can't mean that this crazy woman was working with them; does that mean he also belongs to the order? -Sigh, everything is jostling in my head. I feel like I'm missing something. This detail bothers me to the highest degree. I can't know if she's serious or not.' He continued while standing in checks.
"Tss~, why be so suspicious of me? My mission is only to learn more about your intentions." He retorted by creating a golden dagger he threw towards Alvine's shield.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt-BAM!!
And unlike the first time, Feyre understood why Alvine's shield had suddenly almost collapsed.
And not only that but just by seeing the trajectory of the golden dagger of the mysterious man who targeted Alvine, she also understood where Alvine's hostility towards the guy came from.
"But not only that, but I also have the order to deliver a message from the order in connection with your answer." He continued after seeing Alvine's shield resist his casual attack.
"Tell me, executor squad head, if you are only there to play your role as a messenger pigeon, why did you kill the other guy in this room?" Feyre's calm voice, accompanied by her fake smile, emerged as she asked this question.
"Ah, him? Let's say I didn't intend to reveal my presence initially, so I decided to replace him. But apparently, I would need to work on my spell of illusion. That you see through my illusion passes, but on the other hand, that such a weak and insignificant existence sees through my illusion is an unbearable shame!"
He stared at Alvine while retorting these words with an unsightly air.
But unlike him, Alvine had dark eyes having a sudden awareness.
'Before we came here, she told me I would die if I attacked the guy in this room. And above all, she was reluctant to take my hand despite my trying to show her what I saw. - Sigh, I now understand what bothered me in this story from the beginning; this twisted knew from the beginning the identity of this man, but she was just pretending to ignore it, maybe to gather information?' He hypothetically had these doubts as his gaze switched between Feyre and the mysterious man.
*You knew it from the beginning, didn't you?* He then asked for confirmation from the main interested party.
*... Sigh, I am not surprised that the members of the order keep an eye on my actions. But there are things I don't understand myself. This guy is trying to save time to hold me back here voluntarily so as not to--!
*Hm? What's wrong?* Asked Alvine when he saw her face turn pale to the point of worrying.
But Feyre, who seemed to have suffered a short circuit, did not answer Alvine; she focused on the man in front of her with slight grunts.
"Let's get out of here!" She then retorted after reviewing the confident smile on the face of the demonic man and the mysterious aura around him.
"No, this man must die!" Alvine retorted by going straight to the point despite noticing Feyre's dark expression.
"Let's not waste time! I think they are preparing something bigger and more vicious than, according to my predicts!" Feyre retorted while slamming her hand to make a dimensional portal appear before her.
-RUMBLE!! RUMBLE!!
But just as her dimensional portal was half-formed, it suddenly collapsed following a fierce tremor of an unknown cause.
"..! What's happened?" Alvine asks when he sees this incredible spatial distortion.
'So I was right; they are trying to break my alliance with him!' Feyre inwardly growled these words with dark eyes.
"Kekekeh! It took you a long time to understand it, Miss Feyre." The exterminator laughs in front of Feyre's mad eyes while taking out a starry blue crown under his armor.
"!!"
"Yes, it's the Diadem of Sedinas! You must wonder why the elders will entrust me with such a treasure for a simple information-gathering mission, don't you?" The exterminator giggled with crazy eyes while the starry blue diadem manifested an oppressive aura of a nature unknown to Alvine, who was lost in their discussions.
"..."
But seeing Feyre's stern look and her hands that begin by having sweat through their physical contact, Alvine could roughly guess that the crown was not a simple object of royal decoration.
"As I said instead, my mission is to know your intentions, and now that I am certain that you are no longer one of ours, I also have the right to use this little diadem to seal you here for good; while waiting for my troops to take care of cleaning behind you!" He continued by putting the tiara under his armor.
"...What do you mean by that?" Alvine's restless tone suddenly thundered behind his dark barrier, feeling bad.
"Hm? It's simple to understand; you are why the elders gave me this tiara. I know who you are and where you live. Your existence is harmful to the world. You are the person who must never exist in the universe.
-You are a pure threat that must be purged. The elders are currently working on it to find a solution to make you disappear for good.
-But now that we have arrived here, let me give you some interesting information; the two planets that were affected by you will be destroyed as a whole in exactly three months."
"..."
Seeing Alvine's expression not change an inch, the exterminator's smile grows on his lips.
"Ah! Did I forget to mention that the time lag of this place is more important than the dear universe you housed? Just like planets with different ranks, the domain of the transcendents follows the same pattern. The more powerful a transcendent is, the more powerful his domain will be; this also results in a greater time lag.
-Sigh, but I doubt it's important to you. You will not have the means to inform anyone in this prison, and even if you manage to leave this place, you will not have the strength to avoid the inevitable!" He continued while waving his hand, followed by the appearance of a mirror similar to Feyre's mirror.
But unlike before, the mirror showed him a scene that made his back cold.
He could glimpse a chaotic field that could not even appear in his scariest nightmares.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut just before the scene continued, Feyre broke the mirror into a piece of glass!
"Don't listen to him! This guy is trying to provoke you for--
"Tell me, Feyre; are you in league with him?" Alvine's monotonous voice sounded in the vicinity as he asked this question without the slightest ounce of emotion or aura around him.
"Huh? What are you telling me here? I don't--
"No, by the way, I don't care about your answer." He said, revoking his shield.
'I now understand why I couldn't reach Shadow or my other subordinates. Sigh, I should never have let this bitch go!' A sorrowful smile emerged on his lips as he released Feyre's hand.
Seeing his actions, Feyre tried to stop him.
-Slice!!
"...H-Huh?!"
But just as she was going to approach him, a black sword dismembered her left arm, splashing her blood, which was strangely a silvery white!
"Keukh!" She clenched her teeth while staring at Alvine with incredulous eyes.
She could have avoided Alvine's attack with her reaction speed, but being convinced that Alvine's attack could not be able to inflict a scratch on her, not mention to slice her entire arm, she let herself be fooled to try to stop Alvine, who wanted to go to the end of his madness.
"Get out of my way if you don't want me to kill you first!" Alvine replied without turning around.
"Ho! You have an interesting weapon. But it's a mess that you possess it." After a brief silence from the exterminator to digest the shock, a greedy smile emerged on his lips as he retorted these words with sarcasm.
"I didn't know why I felt the need to kill you as soon as our eyes were first crossed. I also noticed that my spatial affinity was sealed as soon as I entered this room. But all this did not bother me, despite the fact that I had also realized that my bond was broken and that I could no longer feel my domain and my shadow soldiers. But I will first kill you and make all this clear. Whether the content of your mirror is true or not, I must satisfy this desire that I have developed towards you; the desire to see you die!" Alvine murmured while drawing a blood-red pentagram under his feet without making any movements.
[Rupture.]
-D0000M!!
From the moment he murmured this word, his body suffered three consecutive explosions while the locks of the seals, which he had placed on each of his three cores to contain almost all of his aura and froze his level of cultivation, jumped successively as if his body was going to self-destruct the second.
'Huh?! Is he really an intermediate divine mage?!' Feyre thundered in her thoughts when she finally saw through Alvine's cultivation rank.
But it only took a second before she noticed another derisory factor that exceeded all her imagination.
After that, Alvine's golden aura began with strange and mysterious changes. The golden glow around his body slowly turned into a bloody red!
'...I knew it! He is the person I would need to carry out my supreme quest and satisfy my greed!' She exclaimed, looking at Alvine's back with hands trembling with excitement just thinking about the infinite future possibilities that Alvine would offer her.
