"Well, the reason we gathered here to conclude a global alliance is that magic beasts of the other dimension began to invade our territories, and kill everything that lives there! These are world-class calamities that must be contained and controlled as soon as possible otherwise, extermination is the only thing we will face." The King of the Kelspies made a brief and clear introduction to the cause of holding this meeting.
"Are they so strong, the magic beasts of this planet?" Asked Sylvia in a calm and placid voice.
The reason for her curiosity is that she knew more than anyone else that this planet is a Tier 3 planet that probably houses several low-ranking deities. But strangely, since she landed on the said planet with her master, they have only met weak races. Only Noddra deserves to be the native of this planet. Even if he hides his strength, Sylvia's piercing eyes could unseat the mystery behind him, regardless of his efforts.
Hearing her question, for the first time, the queen of the ice elves made Sylvia hear the sound of her melodious voice by answering her question: "The territory of magic beasts and ours are divided by a powerful protective barrier, it's like living in two separate worlds. Normally, the inhabitants of our two worlds should not be able to invade the territories of the other. But the problem is that this powerful barrier that protects us weakens after each century. First, only low-level magic beasts were able to cross the barrier. But this was no longer the case since the last century when we were invaded by magical beasts whose powers far exceeded ours. From then on, we were no longer even able to venture ten kilometers from the barrier, the magical beasts that had come out of the barrier conquered this place like their new territories. And the barrier will soon collapse for good this time!" She briefed the information she knew about the magical beasts of the last century.
Slightly raising her eyebrows, Sylvia found that something was wrong with their information.
"I don't understand." She mumbled.
"At what level exactly?"
"You say that the barrier will collapse and not weaken as usual, what proves to you that the barrier will collapse?" She asked for one of the parties that concerned her the most.
"It's..." Not knowing how to answer Sylvia's question, she looked at the person who had brought them the news. Namely, Noddra.
Feeling the restless look of the queen of the ice elves, he sighed with laziness and answered Sylvia's question in a thunderous voice: "It was our queen who instructed me to inform them. After each century, monsters took advantage of the weakening state of the barrier to venture outside their domains. They don't do this out of pure pleasure, but because they are constantly chased by monsters stronger than them who see them as their prey. The reason they could not go far even though they were stronger than the Kelspies and ice elves, is that we always monitored borders to prevent monsters from invading other kingdoms." He revealed information that was apparently unknown to the leaders of the two kingdoms today.
"How is this possible? Is it possible that you can prevent their progress that even we, the ice elves had failed? It's impossible!" Suddenly Tugra thundered, the king of the ice elves.
"Tsk, now that the predator is no longer there, the prey is agitating. Kuku, how interesting it is." Sarcastically replied Noddra by referring to Alvine who stubbornly wanted to kill Tugra just ten minutes ago without Sylvia's intervention.
Knowing that this bastard had been looking for problems from the beginning, Tugra grided his teeth with irritation but could not find anything to respond to Noddra's provocations. He who thought he was the ace of this meeting obviously did not expect to suffer so much humiliation during this meeting.
*Cough! *
As if she Trying to calm the atmosphere, the queen of the Kelspies intervened among themselves: "Please, Sir Noddra, this meeting aims to unite us to face a common enemy. The reason your queen asked for this meeting without being present is a lack of respect in itself. Just because you are probably stronger than us doesn't mean you have to be so arrogant. Don't forget the purpose of this meeting." She says in a calm and placid voice. Then she continued, after making sure that Noddra was not angry with or irritated: "What if you started explaining to us the details we don't know?"
Hearing the words of the queen of the Kelspies, Noddra was not angry. He just made a "Tsk" against Tugra and then he continued.
"Unlike you, and the ice elves, our longevity is almost more than a thousand years! And if we cultivate the energy of heaven and earth, we will be able to live forever. That's why you don't yet know the agreement our queen had made with your ancestors when we came to this planet after the destruction of ours." He made a brief summary before starting to answer the question of the Queen of the Kelspies.
But unlike the others, Sylvia had a completely different thought when she heard his words. But she let him continue as if nothing had happened.
"The agreement was that we must help them push the monsters back into the depths of the dead earth. The reason we know that the barrier will break in three weeks is simply simple, it is because the people who had put this powerful barrier were the king of the Elves, the king of the kelspies of the time, and our queen! For your information, Queen of Kelspies, the reason our queen was unable to attend this meeting is that she fights day and night on the front line with our commanders to prevent the new hordes from attacking the kingdoms!" He ended his short story with the justification for the absence of their queens.
Stupefied, they all remained silent for a long time. They expected a link to exist between them and this mysterious new race, but they never expected that they and their ancestors would have fought together to seal the beast area.
"Wait, why don't our history books mention this major event?! If that's really the truth, then why didn't we know anything about it? Just seeing Tugra's expression, I can say that he didn't know anything too. How are we supposed to believe you? And why did you live secluded, far from all of us if we had such a link between us?" Asked the king of the Kelspies while slightly raising his thick eyebrows. He naturally had doubts about his words.
"It was the will of your ancestors and one of the conditions to allow us to live peacefully on this planet. We would not have interacted with you if the situation had not worsened." He says these words as naturally as possible as if he were waiting for the king's question.
"And why did our ancestors take such measures against you?" This time, it was Tugra who asked frowningly.
"..." As Sylvia imagined, he did not answer Tugra's question.
When they saw him silent, their mistrust of him went up a notch. How were they supposed to trust and fight side by side with dubious people? It was naturally impossible. Even Sylvia could understand their feelings.
"Sigh, The reason is simple. It's because of the characteristic of their races." Calm and placid as always, Sylvia's soft voice resounded in the room when she spoke these words.
Naturally, she attracted all their attention, including Noddra who frowned when he heard her. "Don't be so hostile to me, I'm not your enemy. You must be blind and deaf not to understand that the problem will not be solved as long as this mystery persists around you. You see, people are afraid of the unknown." She told Noddra who looked at her with suspicious eyes.
Hearing her words, he sighed and briefly replied to Sylvia: "It doesn't matter to me. As long as it is not me who reveals the information about us, then it means that I have not disobeyed our queen's orders." He said by closing his eyes while his hand placed on the table lazily supported his chin.
"What do you mean by that, Lady Dylvia?" Suddenly asked Tugra because of his curiosity and impatience.
No longer wanting to linger on them, Sylvia began her explanation. "The race to which Noddra belongs are called vampires. It is a very special breed that is very rare that generally lives in underground castles or on planets that are immersed in perpetual night. The reason your ancestors made this decision was simply to protect their descendants. Vampires are creatures that feed on blood! Only blood, where very bleeding (little cooked) meats and strong wines. But their main foods are blood! So in your opinion, how would your ancestors react knowing that they are neighbors with species that are more powerful than them but also likely to empty them of their blood at any time?" She revealed with a salacious smile on her lips when she saw their unbelieving expressions.
Then she continued: "Don't be that surprised. Where my master comes from, vampires are not such amazing and scary races unlike you, the Kelspies and ice elves. The universe is immensely large and almost unlimited. If I can add something, I would say that the queen of vampires was lenient towards your ancestors by accepting their stupid conditions. Planets belong only to their creators. Whether it is the container or the content, he alone has the right to decide who will live on its planet and who does not have the right. So what right do fictitious souls like you decide for others? Frankly, if I were in the place of this queen, I would have massacred you all for this simple affront!" She thundered with annoyance when she saw the eyes of others toward Noddra change their nature.
"It's just that it's surprising to see a race so different from us. We are not like you who travel between the worlds. We know practically nothing about the outside world. So it's normal that we are suspicious of them, right?" adorned with an incomprehensible expression, the king of the Kelspies was really beginning to ask the question about Sylvia's position.
"Sigh, it's not your surprise that annoys me, but it's your mistrust of those who have protected you for centuries so far. While all you do is stay undecided because they are vampires. No matter, if they agree with me, I will bring them to a planet that will be more peaceful for them than any other planet. This breed deserves a billion thanks from you instead of mistrust." Unlike appearances, the most surprised person was Noddra.
He believed that Sylvia wanted to reveal their identities to sow dissent between them and broke the alliance that had just been formed. But contrary to his expectations, she had not only erased the doubt in their minds, but she installs guilt in their hearts that force them to apologize to him. At that moment, without himself realizing it, he began to appreciate and respect Sylvia.
Seeing them apologize to him with a guilty air, he sighed with boredom and said to them: "It was normal to be wary of us, I understand. But however, if you want to apologize you must do it in front of our queen, not me. I think the meeting is over now. You must be sufficiently prepared within a week to help us contain the horde. Our queen knows how to make a breach in the protective barrier. Thus, we must first do cleansing from the inside before the barrier breaks to prevent the horde of magic beasts from dispersing on the continent." He says by rendering his verdict. Then he looked at Sylvia and thanked her with his eyes.
Just when Sylvia wanted to give him back his smile to reciprocate him, her heart began to beat vigorously in her thorax! The sudden nervousness scared her so much that she suddenly got up from her chair. "N- no, not now!" She shouted these words with a restless expression that no one in the room had yet seen on her face.
The moment they wanted to ask her the reason for her sudden agitation, a fierce earthquake followed!
"Fuck it! I'm sorry Lady Rina but I have no choice. I think it's too late to prevent him from making unnecessary victims." She said, looking at the sky. Even if there was a ceiling, her vision was in no way obstructed by it. Above her, Alvine floated in the sky about two hundred meters from her. He was completely covered with thick black fog that strangely resembled a jet black substance that continued to grow at a crazy speed.
"It starts!" She says, frowning with a dark expression.
