"What do you still want?" Sabrina asked while looking at Dalvine, who had just entered her cultivation room.
"Kuku, I have the right to leave wherever and whenever I want. If you don't like it so much, you just have to try to send me back." He responds to Sabrina with a provocative smile.
Hearing his words, Sabrina closed her eyes and continued her practice, acting as if she was still alone in her bedroom.
"By the supremacy of my lord, I don't know what he finds you, really. You're so weak and yet so important to him. Maybe I should kill you for fear that you will influence him more." He retorted by appearing behind Sabrina while murmuring in her ear.
"..."
But the latter did not even frown, not to mention open her eyes or respond to his provocations.
Seeing her indifference, Dalvine nonchalantly waved his index finger over Sabrina as if drawing an invisible circle.
And the next moment, tiny water droplets appeared above Sabrina's head.
-Smirk!
With his sarcastic smile, he points his index finger in the middle of Sabrina's head.
Following this action, the water droplets fell on Sabrina as rain.
"Tsk, tsk, I see that you are still on your guard." He retorted in a frustrated tone when he saw that his vicious tricks were countered by Sabrina, who had erected a tiny barrier around her body, just strong enough not to be wet by Dalvine.
"Sigh, I see that your new toys don't amuse you enough; otherwise, you won't come to bore me so much." She said, finally opening her eyes, which bore frustration.
"Ah, them? They suck to the point of being idiots. They are currently fainted by exhaustion while we were in the middle of our training." He said as he sat on Sabrina's bed.
"Sigh, idiotic victims. But it will teach them to curb their thirst for power." That was the only answer she said without asking for more.
"Heh, your coldness will never cease to amaze me. I think it's this personality that attracts my lord. Finally, let's talk a little, but let's talk well; a question, what're you preparing in the shade?"
"A straightforward answer...
Seeing her triumphant smile, Dalvine frowns with a bad feeling, but he lets her end her sentences.
"...Yes, I have a straightforward answer to give you to satisfy your frantic curiosity. But instead of giving you this answer, why won't we play a fun game?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"A fun game, you say? Why not~? This place is to die of boredom." Even if his words seemed to be said joyfully, his expression and frown contradicted everything.
"How do you think I discovered your identity?"
"Hm? Your question is so simple that I can answer it even while being sleepy."
"Ho? Because you sleep, you?"
"...?? In short, it's probably by spying on my lord's memories. Even if I doubt it's intentional."
"Hm? You are right. But this is not the only factor. I had already seen you in the debris of the memories I had obtained from my goddess. You were the entity who had almost killed her before sealing her!"
"...! So what? She was the necessary sacrifice to guarantee my lord's sleep. As you know, light and darkness cannot coexist. In the presence of one, the other weakens or disappears. Finally, it is only her powers; in reality, apart from her powers, your dear goddess has nothing to do with light. But I guess you already know that."
"..."
-Smirk.
Seeing her silence, he continued while keeping his wicked smile on his lips.
"And as my master was a supreme being, it was impossible to erase his memories or force his sleep normally without his consent. This decision had, therefore, not been made by me but by him." He revealed calmly with a sarcastic smile when he saw Sabrina's dark eyes.
"Hmm~ but how come you're not surprised to learn this? Decidedly, you're more informed than I thought. In short, everything I had done, I did only on my lord's order. But think again; I loved fighting against an opponent of my size. She was...hmm~ strong and funny!" He continued seeing Sabrina regain her usual calm.
"Sigh, no matter what you say, it wouldn't concern me. So I have no interest in listening to your stories. In short, as I said, I intended to reveal to him the truth about where I had found him. But when he awakened powers familiar to me, more precisely, this cursed affinity that is the shadow reign; I changed my mind and waited before I found out more. It was only after I realized this truth about your identity as the enemy of our world, but also one of its three former transcendent generals."
"... Hm? Former? Kuku, I am still under his command, but he's simply not powerful enough to command me. I'm waiting; yeah~ I'm waiting for him to regain his sovereignty and charisma from before, my dear little one~." Unsurprisingly, Dalvine's nonchalance was still present in his pulpit.
"But you're not at the top of your powers. So the conclusion I drew in this story is that you are nothing more than a shadow of yourself. Your power is as low as ever. If I give an approximate idea, I'd say you're at least 50% weaker than before."
"50 percent? Sigh, it's unsurprising to hear you make such estimates; as my lord says, ignorance is also considered a luxury in certain situations. Let's admit this is the case; what do you intend to do with this information? Although weak, I can still care for you and your band of wimps that collapse after a few stretches and some strength training."
"Haha, me? I don't intend to arrest you since you have recovered some of your powers, unlike our last head-to-head. But there's someone capable of it. And unlike you, I'm convinced she'll love me since we share the same passion!" Sabrina retorted as she got up from the floor and sat on the chair opposite.
"The same passion?"
"Yeah~ same passion. Just like me, this woman hates you as much as I do. No, I'd say she hates you, even though you're in the same camp!"
Hearing her words, Dalvine frowns slightly. But the next moment, he regained his usual calm by noticing that Sabrina would never be able to know the identity of his lord's enemies.
"Be brief." He murmured in a slightly impatient tone.
"Fufu~ I see the nervousness on your face, my dear~!"
"..."
'Does she really talk about these bastards? Sigh, I'm just getting ideas. If these traitors had discovered our location, this universe would already be on the verge of extinction. The reason I am trying to regain my power from before is to protect my lord from these bastards until he is strong enough. But despite my efforts, I could barely recover 30% of my power. It's frustrating.
-But given the almost infinite numbers of universes and parallel universes, they'll not be able to find us anytime soon. And as my lord's powers, if so weak, they will be unable to locate him quickly. That's why I let him do what he wants in this slut's universe, to leave false clues to these bastards. And as this slut is a low-ranking transcendent, she will never dare to hurt my lord, no matter how weak my lord is, and she could defeat him with a simple finger movement.' He said to himself with even darker eyes.
Seeing his distant look, Serena frowns.
"I don't know what you're afraid of, but I wouldn't like to find out."
Hearing her statements, Dalvine focused on her.
"Are you right? The universe becomes more frightening as we know more about it and the overpowered entities that threaten our lives. Finally, it's not important at the moment. Let me know instead who you are talking about exactly. You may not know yet, but there are not only allies that my lord has. Among his circle, more enemies desperately wanted his powers but dared not show themselves. But now that he is weaker than he can die by my snoring, it's--
"Are you really sleeping?"
"...? What do you have against me and whether you sleep or not?! In short, let's talk a little but let's talk well. Who is it exactly?!" He insisted on his question even though he was frustrated by Sabrina's strange curiosity.
"Sigh, Heepha, does this name remind you of someone?"
"?! Ah! This Bitch?!" He suddenly jumped out of bed with eyes both agitated and nostalgic.
"Apparently, that's the case." Sabrina nods when she sees Dalvine's restless look for the first time.
"How did you know this name?!" He asked suddenly, looking straight into Sabrina's eyes.
"Hehe, as if I was going to answer you." She retorted with a victorious feeling.
"Fuck! Stop joking; it's not a game! This slut doesn't know a certain thing yet. If she wakes up without containing her magical powers, she will risk having us spotted. And if this ever happens, you, including this universe, will only be ancient history!" He retorted with dark eyes, unlike their ruby-red gleam.
"... This is only a hypothesis. But according to my research, my sister had sealed certain--??
Before she finished her words, Dalvine instantly appeared before her and touched her forehead.
Almost instantly, Sabrina's pupils became dark like those of Gargas.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut it took only a thousandth of a second before she regained the usual color of her eyes. And when she regained her spirits, Dalvine was no longer in the room.
Seeing this, instead of the joy of getting rid of the thorn in her feet, she was furious and worried at the same time.
'Are there really such enemies chasing my master? Are they really so powerful to the point of making this arrogant mother fucker so agitated?' She whispered in her thoughts with empty eyes on her seat.
She then touches her forehead with sore eyes.
"The power of this bastard is like heaven and earth with mine. Sigh, no wonder he's so arrogant. But what exactly has he just done? He can't acquire all my memories just by simple contact, can he?"
-Bang!
At the same time, Sylvia entered Sabrina's bedroom with agitated eyes.
"Sabrina, are you doing well?!" She asked while looking at the bedroom with sharp eyes.
"Hm? Why wouldn't I be better?" She asked confusedly.
"?? Sigh, come outside and look for yourself!"
Hearing Sylvia's words, Sabrina instantly teleported over the palace and looked at the entire kingdom with her primordial perception to be sure not to miss a single detail.
"?!!! What happened...here?!" She murmured with incredulous eyes.
In front of her, apart from Linn and the other three primordials, all the other residents of the kingdom were lying on the floor. They were in a similar state to those with Alvine in front of the sealed door; they fainted.
"Who was with you in this room?! I had thought that a new threat had appeared after feeling this strange aura whose nature was unknown, coming from your apartment; that's why I came to see and ask others to protect those who fainted because of the pressure. But who was it at the end?!" Sylvia asked persistently.
"Sigh, just the guy who annoys us all the time."
"Huh? Are you talking about Sir Alvinos' master? Is he that powerful?!"
"Apparently... yes," Serena murmured, still in her thoughts.
'What could make such a powerful entity so anxious? I wonder.' She murmured to herself, ignoring all Sylvia's questions.
"Sylvia, make sure you take care of these people. I'm going to be away for a while!" She said while drawing runes in the void.
"Huh?! In such a situation? But where are you going?!"
-Vhhoooop!!
Instantly, a gigantic portal appeared in front of her, and she passed through it instantly.
But her voice always resonated in Sylvia's ears.
"On Alzania planet and also on the place where I had found my master to have more information and clues about him!"
