After placing Gracier near Alex, Silveria created a white chair which she used to sit on, crossing her legs she patiently waited.
[I say, why are you idling here instead of going back? You know those two needed rest.] Ignia asked after a long mont of silence.
''Oh?! Don't worry I'm not idling I'm waiting for that little girl to co over. The one using the na Leena.''
Hearing Silveria's explanation, Ignia finally understood that she was waiting for soone and as for why she was clueless, hence her next question.
[I see, however even If I found her interesting with big potential, I don't understand why you would wait for her here. Is there a particular reason?]
''Reason you ask? Indeed there's a reason. I forget that you can't use your sense as I can therefore you won't know. The little girl is coming back with sothing interesting. Even if I have my little idea of what going on, I need confirmation and that little girl is bringing that confirmation.
You may sleep all ti to replenish your energy to work on the seals but I know you saw what happened to those two. Aren't you wondering why that monster seed to be especially targeting our hosts?"
Silveria ended her explanation with a question.
[Naturally, I asked myself this. However, I couldn't find the answer as I'm missing so pieces of the puzzle.] Ignia responded.
''The missing pieces are about to co together once that girl brings what she caught with her.''
[I shall wait then.] Ignia said silence descended as none of them continued speaking.
In her fla dinsion Ignia was ditating while so strands of red energy were sent to Gracier body, strengthening her body for the sole purpose of increasing her magic reservoir, the more MP she'll have the more powerful skills (spells) she could cast.
And also to strengthen Gracier's body, Mage's body is weak after all, if a swordsman bypasses their spells and arrives in front of a mage it was a checkmate, however, a powerful body (e.i Defense) can survive close combat for a mont before the Mage complete the next spell.
Outside Silveria whose eyes were closed suddenly opened them and stared at Gracier, she saw Ignia's fla essences slowly strengthening Gracier's body.
''You are sure generous,'' Silveria said with a smile on her lips because she knew how precious those things are.
[You are being sarcastic here. I'm not the one that gift skills like candy, though. You gave the boy two of your divine abilities, if I rember correctly it's Divine Sense and Accel, even that Danger Sense's skill was your doing. I'm poor, I can only do this much.] Ignia responded while continuing to do her job.
Silveria's lips twitched when she heard Ignia ntioned how poor she's.
''Touché. However, I don't give one of my eyes like it's nothing.'' Silveria counterattacked.
[Ugh! I didn't have a choice. It would have been unfair if I haven't done that. Besides, the boy a-]
''Finally, she's here.'' Silveria cut Ignia mid-sentence and announced.
Indeed as she said, Leena appeared with the unconscious demon floating not too far from her.
Stopping thirty ters from the silver-haired girl whose beauty was out of this world, Leena cautiously stared at the mysterious girl whose presence she couldn't feel even this close.
The girl didn't emit anything as if she was a simple mortal which was strange considering what happened earlier, a simple mortal couldn't do that.
''Welco, I was waiting for your arrival, ********," Silveria said still sitting one leg crossed over another.
Imdiately as she heard Silveria's words, Leena loses her cool and released powerful energy and killing intent that makes the surrounding space quake, the poor demon was flung away like a ragdoll destroying few trees in the process.
Flicking her fingers, Silveria created a barrier around Alex and Gracier to shield them before saying in an amused tone, ''So, you can also lose your cool? Interesting, however, you should keep your calm or else so people may take notice of, Well, you know what I'm talking about anyway.''
Seeing the silver-haired girl talk so nonchalantly as she was not the one at fault, Leena cald down, hearing words she was not expecting she montarily lost her cool and acted in a way normally she would never do.
Even before they started talking she had already lost the initiative as the other party said that word. She knew that she could regain the initiative anymore, hence,
Taking a deep breath, Leena asked, ''Who are you and what do you want?"
''Little Leena no need to act so cold,'' Silveria said with an amused grin on her face.
Even when she was being called Little Leena, Leena was unfazed, her expression didn't change as she kept staring at Silveria waiting for the latter answer.
Pouting as if to say, you are not fun at all, Silveria said.
''Alexander is my master.''
Leena's eyes widened when she heard this, she alternatively glanced between the unconscious Alex then at Silveria for a mont while inwardly thinking how Alex could have soone so powerful and she had never heard about. She had never sensed this girl's presence even when she probed Alex.
So, where did this mysterious and powerful girl popped from? Considering that Alex was otherworlder, the hypothesis of this girl being his ancestor, no protector can be ruled out. Besides, the girl said Alex was her master, how can soone so powerful be a weakling (considering his current level) servant? It doesn't make any sense unless-
Thinking of a certain possibility, Leena's eyes widened again for the second ti since her arrival, she stared at Silveria's not daring to believe her assumption, she had never heard of sothing like that.
Having been observing Leena as she was lost in thoughts, Silveria couldn't help but smile as she saw her reaction that indicates that she concluded sothing, however, she dared not to believe it.
Silveria finds her reaction entertaining therefore she said, ''Indeed it's as you think. I'm what you are thinking am I.''
''Eh?" Leena exclaid mouth agape as she heard Silveria's confirmation.
''Fufufu, that's so nice reaction you have there,'' Silveria said amused before, her expression turned solemn all sudden and she said.
''As for my goal, it's pretty simple, it's to ensure my master's wellbeing. I hope you are not planning to use my master and discard him? I hope you not plotting sothing harmful in his back? That you'll not betray him?
Not drag in into sothing that will cost his life?'' She stopped there before continuing, however this ti she released a powerful killing intent that was so dense that it was materialized into a world of slaughter full of corpses. Leena didn't even want to know how many people or monsters she'd killed to possesses this kind of killing intent that could twist reality.
''I do hope, you will not harm him, not sche against him, not put him into a dangerous situation or else I swear I'll obliterate you alongside those dear to you. And do not doubt my words, you know how powerful am I, you have felt it earlier.
Freezing everything radius fifty kiloters is one fraction of what I can do, and I do hope you'll never do sothing that would warrant using my full power.''
Leena unconsciously nodded her head, she felt scared, sothing she had not felt since that battle a long ti ago. This girl was giving her a dangerous vibe not different from that monster.
anwhile, Ignia who was ditating in her fla dinsion fell into the hot lava beneath her as she heard Silveria's shaless words, swimming back up, she asked.
[I say, Silveria, is shalessness contagious?]
'I don't know what you are talking about.'
Silveria answered, acting innocently.
Ignia facepald.
[Indeed, it's contagious. For you claim another person's achievent as yours even without a change in your voice, it was so natural that if I didn't know the truth I would have fallen for it. Truly shaless, acting all mighty when-]
'Shut up little Ignia. Even if I lied, it was not false. Even though it was not , it was my Big sister who did it, it doesn't change anything because the little girl doesn't know about it. So shut up and let pl- do my job.' Silveria shouted at Ignia in her mind.
[You never change, do you? Aren't you planning to say let play?] Ignia asked.
'I dunno what you are talking about.' Silveria said refusing to acknowledge that she was trying to say that.
[Whatever] Ignia said before restarting her to ditate as she sent more fla essences into Gracier's body. Gracier's hair beca redder, her physical was getting strengthened.
~Back to Leena.
She had managed to calm down, looking directly at Silveria in the eyes she spoke.
''I promise not to sche against him, not to betray him. As I said to even himself, I have been waiting for him. A long ti ago an oracle predicted the arrival of Otherworlders and among them would be a person that could help us.
I wouldn't deny that what I need him for is dangerous but it's not like he will be the only one participating, I'll also participate alongside nurous other individuals.''
Leena stopped and observed Silveria who was still coldly staring at her.
Sighing, Leena continued.
''It won't happen too soon, in the anti, I'll help him grow and shelter him. He's essential for what is about to happen, after all, it won't work without him so I'll gain nothing if I'm on his bad side, you don't have to worry, even without your warning I've never planned to harm. If I were to do, all I believe in, all have sacrificed to co this far would be for naught, I'm not that foolish.''
After saying that Leena waited for Silveria's reply, however, only silence answered her, glancing at Silveria she was astonished when suddenly the latter vanished and reappeared in front of her with a smile on her lips.
''You pass.'' She said.
