"Taking over a side base?" Drayce suddenly asked as Reign and the others nodded at him.
"We were thinking of infiltrating one of their side bases, we already know the location of a couple of them, as well as how the main base is connected to them, and more thanks to the soul of one of the enemy combatants we managed to capture."
"I got a lot of info out of him, and because of that, we were thinking of slowly taking over the core of one of the side bases, stopping right before we completely take it over."
Reign continued taking, telling the Queen, as well as Drayce, of what they had originally planned, as well as what they managed to uncover from the soul of the fake Tier VI. Of course, he stayed quiet about Aethion and his involvement in the entire thing, making it seem as if he was the one who managed to save the soul of the enemy and the one who had interrogated him.
"That is certainly not a bad plan, but ... how did you even get the idea to do such a thing?" The Queen suddenly asked as she stared at them.
"Yeah, did Eldar or Jack tell you about the cores and how to take them over, and what if the base is a special one that doesn't have a core, what would you do in that case, huh?" Drayce asked them, prompting Reign and the others to scratch the backs of their heads.
"We learned about the cores not long ago, as well as the method to take them over, I ... I'm sorry, but I can't divulge how, it is somewhat of a touchy subject, one connected to me, to what I am."
"A Nephilim told you, or wait, memories, the ones Nephilims inherit?" Drayce asked in a low voice as he started thinking before shaking his head.
"It doesn't matter, what matters is that the plan, although not bad, is quite risky, after all, you would need to move right after making the core almost yours, even though such a method is difficult to notice, there's no saying whether or not the enemy doesn't have a way to notice you."
"Not to mention the fact that you will be inside the main base of the enemy, you will be placed in a dangerous situation at the very start, and you don't know just what defensive measures they have in place there, making it even more dangerous for you."
Drayce's words made Reign and the others nod as they were well aware of what he was saying.
"If you can find their base in that area, at least you will be able to plan some things ahead of time, you can lie in wait and attack their members, picking them apart when they are oblivious to what is going on, not to mention that if things go south, you will have a much easier time getting to safety."
"Don't forget, the enemy base is probably where the source of the corruption lies, the enemy will definitely be more powerful there, not to mention the fact that the corruption itself might become your enemy as well."
"We all know you're right, so we will do that, I just hope nothing unexpected happens while we try to find their base." Reign said as they all thanked the two Transcendents before leaving the chambers.
"The inherited memories of the Nephilim, do you truly believe he found out about the cores from them, that is knowledge usually given by the system to those that have reached the Power Realm, I've never heard of memories being that specific." The queen asked Drayce who chuckled.
"Of course I don't buy it, but what can we do, the kid doesn't want to speak about it, which means the subject is a touchy one, he has his reasons, perhaps one day he will tell us, but not today," Drayce said as he crossed his legs and stared at the large door that had closed.
"You should have realized by now that this planet is not a simple one at all, the fact that there is a Nephilim here is already surprising enough, but the speed at which these humans are progressing, the seeds of hope they have who are sprouting, the fact that even gods came here to mark some of them, and the shocking news that even The Immortal staked a claim on a part of the planet, none of it is normal."
"Reign is a seed of hope, but also a Nephilim, he holds many secrets inside of him, that much is expected out of him, as long as he doesn't do anything that will jeopardize his own life or the entire territory, there's nothing we can do to help or stop him."
"I understand that, I still do not feel comfortable being left out like this, I would have liked to know at least how he managed to learn all of that, not to mention his control over soul power, just who did he learn from, I know that a Nephilim will always have incredible innate talent for soul manipulation, but the way he talked about isolating the soul fragment and then the speed of which he managed to extract information out of the soul, it is not something a person that never learned from somebody can do."
Drayce nodded his head and then stood up.
"The best thing we can do is to expect that he has a teacher, one that is probably a Transcendent, or perhaps even somebody higher than that, maybe even a Nephilim, they do send one over to monitor a newly discovered Nephilim after all, it wouldn't be weird if a Nephilim decided to teach him a bit during his observation."
With those words, Drayce slightly bowed to the Queen before leaving her chambers.
'He knows more than what he is saying, honestly, I can barely stand talking to people like him.' The Queen thought as she placed her hand on the side and leaned her head on it.
'I would gladly grab his throat and start choking him until he told them what he knows, alas, that is not possible.'
'I can't do anything about it, he is a part of the Alliance, even though it is a fragile cooperation that exists between the Ashen Temple and the Alliance, and he is more powerful than me, much more powerful.'
'As long as he doesn't do anything to jeopardize what is happening here, I will tolerate him, but that boy, just what is he hiding, could that be the reason I cannot read the minds of him and his friends?'
