Chapter 209 Brave Hidenbrid.

"Although my stay on the other planet did not last longer than expected, I guess it still gave you enough time to think calmly about your decision. Depending on your answer, I will act accordingly. As for your silence, it will mean your indecision, so I would apply the third choice on my own."

Asssiaphir, who has just heard Alvine's words, did not frown, not to mention losing her calm. After that, she cleared one’s her throat before speaking in a bland tone. "You said you welcomed anyone among us as long as you have the guarantee that they won't betray you, didn't you?"

"..." Alvine remained temporarily silent in the face of his question. "We have already had this conversation before. You already know the answer to this question." He replied.

"...What proves to me that you are going to follow these words to the letter?"

"The proof? I don't have any, and I don't intend to prove anything to you even if I had. You worked with Randolph who used me as a kind of laboratory rat. Even if I am not sure of his ideal, I can guess that his intentions were not good for me. But it no longer matters...

But before Alvine finishes his sentence, she slams her tongue with annoying air.

"Working with Randolph? I had never worked with this vicious guy who was obsessed with my dad's powers. It’s just that...

"I don't care about your motives! Now stop wasting my time. If you are free, I have many tasks to be accomplished. Your explanations, you can keep them after making your choice." Alvine, who was becoming more and more impatient, did not give her time to waste his time.

The little confidence he had in Assi collapsed when she sneakily tried to charm him.

"..."

"It's a shame." After a sigh on her part, Alvine pronounced this word when she saw it silent.

Following this simple word, he moved away from Assi and sat on the throne. "Yet, I didn't want to get there with you, little demoness...but, it's a shame." Even if he uttered these words in a sad air, his placid and impassive eyes were the opposite of his words.

"..."

Seeing her always undecided, Alvine's impassive eyes switched to Darka. "Greed, Kill...

"IF YOU KILL ME, you will no longer have the chance to know the truth about...

"I don't care about that, a power that only brings me problems doesn't interest me. It is not because of the unique talent that has led me to where I am now, it is also thanks to the people around me, and the countless dangers I have faced, I have had to fight against enemies whose level far exceeds mine, and not just once. If I didn't have the ability to regenerate, this guy you currently see...would be covered with scars."

"Do you think I used the powers of my loved ones to get rid of all my problems? A power that is not in my body is like a weapon in hand, if you rely only on it, you will become shit when it breaks or when it vanishes."

"My enemies are destined to be killed by my hands; even if they are primordial beings or more than that. Controlling a small army of succubuses is nothing more than a seed of sand in a desert; I would submit all existence under my command, it is only a matter of time before this inferior race enters under my command... or I would exterminate them in their turn, to resolve any problems."

After this little speech to Assi’s intention...

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

"If that's your goal, then detach me." Her words resounded in the room when she saw Alvine try to order Greed again.

"Why would I do that? You made your choice. Your silence was your choice." He replied, being guided only by his madness.

"What?! Will you really order him to kill me?!" She asked in an incredulous tone.

"No, I changed my mind." From the moment he spoke these words, even before Assi achieved her relief sigh, a black jet sword appeared in Alvine's hand. "It's no longer Greed who will kill you, but myself."

"!" Hearing these words, and seeing Alvine coming to her with a sword in hand, all her senses were on maximum alert. But she could not break Greed's shackles were impossible to unseal for her, no matter how hard she tried to get away from Alvine.

Alvine stopped in front of her while pointing his sword at her throat. "Honestly, I'm not happy to kill you, but you are one of the people who know the identity of the people around me, it's a weakness that I wouldn't let any potential enemies discover. So please, hate me as much as you can hate a person. It will be your only possibility of revenge, my dear little demoness." Then, He slowly pushed his sword’s tip into Assi's throat.

-Ack!!

But unlike before, he could not hide his sadness; his eyes turned red as his sword perforate deeper into Assi's throat.

At the same time, he was interrupted by Sabrina who knocked behind the door.

Instantly, the door opened following his will. "Lord Alvine, I have...!"

Sabrina who had just crossed the doors of the throne room was accompanied by a hair and green-eyed succubus, but she stopped in her sentence when she saw the situation. Her confusion did not last long when she roughly understood the situation; seeing Alvine's expression.

"No!!" She shouted alerts while using her gravitational magic to remove away Alvine's sword, three inches of which was in Assi's throat, and stopped her hemorrhage at the same time.

-Cough!! cough!!!

Assi spits off the blood that was in her throat and looked at Alvine with disbelief, but her disbelief turned into hateful anger when she crossed the bloody eyes of Alvine who did not seem to have given up her intention. At the same time, Sabrina had already finished treating her injury.

For his part, Alvin did not care about Assi's bloodshot eyes, he was rather concerned about another detail.

Sabrina's alert voice and actions made him frown. As it was the first time Sabrina prevented him from killing someone, he could guess that it was not out of sympathy for this girl.

*She still doesn't know it, but I can see that her soul is connected to the planet's core. Her death could lead the planet to its self-destruction! * She gives her explanation, following the confusion of her master.

*Is it even possible to do that? You know like me that the cores of the planets are different from the vital cores.*

*Precisely, this planet is different from other planets. We have reasons to believe that this planet is one of the fragments of the original planet, after the disappearance of the supreme tree. I would give you more explanations about this, but I don't think the time is at your disposal for now. *

*...tsk, It's getting annoying. * He instantly changed his cape after hearing Sabrina's words. He could afford to lose the chance to have the succubus race under his command but, losing an entire planet by the death of one person would be too expensive to pay for him. Not to mention that this planet's destruction would be the worst act to do at the moment.

He looked at Assia who was always tied and wrapped in Greed's scarlet shade cape like a potato bag with a mischievous smile. "Greed, detach her." He ordered.

Her face lit up with surprise when Alvine suddenly changed his mind. It was too fast to the point of attracting her suspicions, but she didn't care about that. Death was not a good decision for her, especially when it came to dying at the hands of the human-looking monster.

"Nelda, bring her to the others; tell Ashia to watch her closely. If she tries anything suspicious, you have the order to kill her." He continued, following the release of Assi, addressing Nelda who was the succubus Valskar who accompanied Sabrina.

Seeing her confused eyes, Alvine nonchalantly gave her a brief explanation. "Let's say Sabrina proposed to me to gift you with another chance." He said, beckoning them to leave.

Assi briefly looked at Sabrina with a glimmer of surprise. Now that she could see Sabrina's power, she was more and more surprised and confused to see Alvine surrounded by so many divine beings who had the same rank as her.

But she did not insist for long, she followed Nelda and the two went out into the throne room; with her hatred for Alvine, who had reached its climax.

*Luna, watch her closely, and if possible, prevent Ashia and others from killing her by immobilizing her; if she tries to do something suspicious.* At the same time, his shadow wavered, followed by Luna's appearance. But she was still invisible, while she was watching Assia.

At the same time, Alvine sent Greed back to the dimension. Only he and Sabrina remained in the great room of the throne.

"Sabrina, can you give me some details about the current situation?"

...

Meanwhile, on Alzania’s planet, more precisely on the continent of demons, a man with short golden hair and eyes of the same color, was sitting in a meeting room with five other divine generals. His expression was black anchored while his finger constantly slam the table in mithril because of his impatience.

But even if his actions were nonchalant, the table that could not be scratched even with the most powerful attack by a holy mage had cracked under his finger; coupled with the expression that distorted his handsome face with unique features, no one dared to cross his gaze in the room.

"Zanac, the other two divine kings have still not given news?" He asked one of the divine generals who was a black elf with long silky white hair and tanned skin.

Zanac's appearance was no less handsome than Emilia's father, who was none other than the person who wanted to kill Alvine during his ordeal in Brisht's tower. "Not yet, my lord. According to our estimates, they will have to arrive from one moment to the next." Zanac gave this answer in an impassive but imposing tone.

Whether Zanac or the four other generals of Brave Hidenbird... they were all high-level divine mages!

'Tsk, Tsk, they take the situation less seriously. We must solve this crisis without alerting this madwoman who likes to kill everything that moves. What the hell are they thinking?!' He says to himself with cold sweats thinking of the person who seemed to scare him himself, who is a divine magus at the top!

But he calmed down immediately so as not to show this fear to his subordinates. "What about the news of my daughter? She's still in the hands of this bastard of incubus?!"

"...For the moment, we are not sure. But according to the reports of the two new generals, it is very likely that she is a prisoner by them." Zanac answers once again.

"Tsk, Tsk, without your recommendation, I would never have named these two incapable as generals. Instead of accomplishing this simple mission, they came to enjoy life on this planet."

"I am the only one to fault for this unfortunate problem, my lord. Be sure to punish me, my lord for my mistake."

"Don't worry about that. Your punishment will wait until our return. The most important thing is to collect all the information about our enemies. Did Grimor and Barthod reveal all the information they had in their possession?"

"Yes, my lord."

"Good, then execute both tomorrow, in front of the rising sun."

"As your orders, my lord. But why do we have to wait for the other kings? According to our information, our skirmishes have only a few divine mages. Without talking about waiting for the other kings, you should not have moved in person for that. My squad alone could be able to exterminate all the ignorant who dared to capture the princess." Zanac gave his opinion after answering King Brave's question.

Hearing his words, Brave remained temporarily silent with an expression of surprise. Then,

Hahaha...

He laughs crazy in the face of the daring words of his subordinates. "You are powerful, Zanac, surely one of the most powerful among my elite generals. But...sigh, drop it. All I can tell you is not to underestimate our enemies. Do you really think I would move in person and summon the other two divine kings just for simple low-ranking divine mages? Our enemies...are not normal beings." He announced these words as the room became silent.

'Maybe, in the end, we will need the help of this paranoid goddess.'
