Chapter 14: The Reason Behind The War!

"If you don't want to tell me, it's completely okay. I will simply also refrain from telling you the truth about us and..."

"It's called Aetheria..." The words resounded as Nyx raised up her eyes and saw Hael's ocean blue eyes staring into hers.

"The world I come from is called Aetheria. A world where magic is a pretty common thing and we don't have the metallic objects that the humans carry around, nor those spaceships that fly in the sky. We are a planet that mainly operates based on the power obtained from the runes..."

"Your world is primeval. It was taken from ancient times.." She responded as Hael shrugged.

"Due to an unfortunate incident, I drowned, and at the bottom of the sea, I found this dark portal. Of course, I got sucked into it and then I found myself on the spaceship heading towards this place. That was how I got here..."

"You have not even a clue at all, do you?" Nyx asked as Hael shook his head.

"My Eldritch race comes from just a world like yours, Primeval, or you all it ancient. And we also had this magic too, even though it wasn't really called that. More of a natural ability..." Nyx began as Hael listened attentively.

"We were transported to this world, Earth, due to an apocalypse that happened in my world. One day, the sky opened up, and within it were terrifying vortexes that exuded a dragging force that dragged the majority of us into it, and when we opened our eyes we were welcomed by the sight of a new world."

"To dominate Earth, and rule over the humans..." Hael completed as Nyx's eyes flashed in visible shock.

"How do you know that?"

"You said that the Eldritch can use magic that the humans can't. They are far superior in abilities compared to the average human, and they saw no way back home, meaning this Earth would be their last abode. Then the only choice is to make this world a new safe abode and to do that, the original occupier of it would have to be wiped out. It is even more a bold idea since the humans are weaker than them. It should be easy to dominate earth and regain their future in their hands. Nothing is stopping them from declaring a war. It is a tactical move..." Hael replied as easy as breathing and true to his word, that was what really caused the war between the humans and the Nyx.

"You got it right..." Nyx said with a nod as Hael gave a nod before his eyebrows furrowed.

"So why is it a war then? You said the Eldritch can use magic. These guns that they use are really fancy but in the world I come from where people use magic, they are nothing but fancy toys. So why is this even a war? It should be a smooth massacre..." Hael said out loud. He knew well if his Winterfall dynasty had been the Eldritch instead, then people like Captain Aleia would be easily ripped apart by a person who has unlocked his first gate and had a good grasp of his first petal element. There was no way those toys were superior to true powerful arcane abilities.

"That was what the higher-ups thought. But the humans found a way. A way to fuse themselves with their strange technology, and then they insert nuclear core into their heart to power the machines that are present in their body. An example is that Captain of yours, while she might look like a human. She actually has a core in her chest rippling with energy that powers the machines that have been placed in her body, massively boosting her accuracy and her combat attributes, like speed, agility, and stamina.

There are seven stages to the human cultivation level, and your captain is only at the second level. As for those humans at the 7th, they can match our leaders on equal ground.

Besides, the humans' numbers are simply too great. If they are not strong enough, they make up with numbers and their deadly weapons."
