久久一本通凹凸一道久视

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.

p "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."

"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."

"Well, that will depend…" Leon said. "Why did you guys left your world? Why are you guys attacking the people of this world?"

"… 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.
