Chapter 218 The Real Enemy.

"Are you nervous?"

"Heh~ nervous, do you say? Of course, I am."

"It's understandable since you're going to meet the crazy woman who loves only kill...

"I think there is a misunderstanding there. When I say I'm nervous, it's not about this woman, but it's the first time I've moved away from my original. On top of that, I am more so about my mission. Apart from this crazy Greed, I am the second who disappointed him, I swear to accomplish this mission to perfection."

Sylvia, who was floating outside the barrier that protected Frayja's planet, was talking with the Alvine clone floating next to her.

Hearing his words, a glimmer of surprise crossed her dark black pupils as she nodded her head with a feeling look.

"I understand, but you don't need to blame yourself for that, I'm sure he didn't really think so. Not to mention that it was partly my fault if your identity had been revealed to others."

But the clone shook his head in the face of Sylvia's attempts to cheer him up. "I'm not looking for an excuse in the face of my failures. But thank you anyway, little angel. I want to be a subordinate who, according to the wishes of his master, will perform all his tasks without mistakes. And to become so, I must prove him with deeds and not with words."

"... I understand."

'It seems that I had despised myself on one thing from the beginning, the loyalty of these strange beings to my master compete with ours... maybe they finally exceed ours.' She said to herself in her thoughts.

Then, neither she nor the clone dwelled on the subject in question.

"So it's better not to come back with your head down, this time." She prevents, opening a milky white dimensional portal in front of them.

The clone:- "Hehe~, from the explanations you gave me along the way, I know what I have to do."

"It's time." Sylvia stammered these words when she saw the strange smile on the clone's lips.

Following this, the clone crossed the portal and immediately disappeared in front of Sylvia.

The latter immediately closed the portal as ordered by her master.

"Good luck, Milord clone...I guess. Even if it's strange, your existence is proof of his superiority. Although he's an emperor-ranking mage, he can do things that go beyond our understanding. Sigh, I guess I'm becoming strangely sensitive in this last time."

After saying these words to herself, she stops for a while extending her perception to check the surroundings of a potential enemy. Then, she turned to the planet, without being stopped by the barrier around the Freyja planet.

...

Meanwhile, Alvine, who was still assisting Assia to help her assimilate his legacy... suddenly frowned when he saw the cocoon turn white.

Unlike before, it looked better after absorbing some of the energy contained in the Magic Orne. Not only had he regained the magical energy he had before, but it was more fivefold than he had before; since Greed's orb had absorbed all the matter more than a hundred kilometers away. While his old black hole had absorbed only hundreds of meters of space.

'It's strange, why did this cocoon suddenly go white? Sigh, the main thing is that she's alive inside.' He said while continuing to absorb the energy of the orb while his other hand was on the cocoon.

He was not the only one to frown, Sabrina who stood behind him had eyes that were full of all kinds of complex feelings.

Master, will you be able to do such things? When you woke up this legacy for the first time, I wondered if it was a good thing or not, but to see you doing incomprehensible things even for me...I still can't know if it's a good thing or not. Too great a power is not only beneficial but also dangerous for you and your loved ones.'

Despite all her strange thoughts, except for her eyebrows, she looked impassive and imperturbable.

...

-Voop!

In a dark forest where the clearing was not present, a dimensional portal appeared in front of the cave of a pack of emperor wolves; in the forest of green hell.

Unsurprisingly, 'Alvine', who was dressed in a leathery black coat, appeared in front of the cave; surprising the two wolves who stood guard.

One had dark black fur, while the other had crimson red fur.

"Sigh, all that was missing, I bet that this demon with an angelic appearance pretended to bring me close to their territories." He whispered to himself while looking at the eyes of the two wolves' blood-injected eyes.

"A food?!" The crimson wolf growled as he licked his lips.

"Sigh, and me who wanted to keep a low profile? What to do with them? I don't want to compromise my mission when I've just landed." He said to Himself in a boring tone.

The two wolves loaded toward him without losing an extra second.

But instead of taking care of them, he jumps into the air, easily evading two wolves' assault.

The crimson wolf growled as a flame blaze rose around his body.

But Alvine made only a nonchalant movement with his hand followed by a strong agitation in the forest while the trees, stems, and plants around them did rush towards them and instantly immobilized them.

-Awwuuuu!!

At the same time, the wolf's pack ran out of the cave to hunt Alvine; after hearing the call of their comrades.

"Tsk, I don't have time to take care of you." After saying these words, Alvine took altitude and reached the top of the trees.

After passing the tops of large trees, he was suddenly dazzled by the moonlight.

But it was not the moon that dazzled him, it was rather the presence of a girl with long black hair, two sharp horns on her temples, and a long scaly black tail... in the air.

Alvine frowned, instantly recognizing the identity of the familiar silhouette.

-Sofia Blake, the current empress of demons.

But his frowning was due to this girl's purple eyes. As far as he remembers her, just like Ashia, Sofia had garnet red pupils; but that was not all, she had in fact a golden aura around her.

"Fufu~, did you think you were escaping my surveillance by coming alone? In this unexplored place?" 'Sofia' asked 'Alvine'

"Heh~, interesting, so are you able to possess the bodies of your creations?" He said, guessing Serena's identity.

"Fufu~, don't pretend to be aware of this little detail." She said as she approached Alvine and looked at him, turning around him as if she was looking for something.

After a while, a cruelly diabolical smile appeared on her lips.

"Interesting, you are interesting too. Did you think it would be easy to deceive me?"

Frown...

"What do you mean by making a mistake?"

"In short, it doesn't matter anymore, yes, the most important thing is that you came in person. I look forward to seeing you." She said, making Alvine even more confused.

But the latter did not have time to ask. Sofia's body suddenly became soft and fell into free fall.

Seeing Serena's ruthless actions, Alvine unconsciously caught Sofia who was unconscious after Serena left her body.

'Sigh, she's worthy of being crazy. Why give me such a welcome if the goal was to leave me alone with an unconscious person? In short, I’d kill her after collecting enough information from her.' He said to himself by flying south, to the continent of the Alzania natives; while taking Sofia with him.

'As she already knows that I am on the planet, she’ll no longer threaten the peoples of the three queens. In other words, it's a good opportunity to save more time.' He said to Himself while slowing down.

Even if he could teleport directly to the kingdom of demons, his mission was to save time to allow his original to complete the process of Asiaphir's assimilation. As for his second mission, it was intelligence.

'I couldn't dream better. Not only can I save more time, but I can also collect information after this girl wakes up.' He said to Himself as he was looking at Sofia with garnet eyes.

...

After an hour of slow flight, Alvine suddenly felt Sofia's abnormal breathing while waking up in her unconscious state.

He suddenly stopped near a lake and tied her with shade chains on a thick tree.

Although he was flying at a slow speed, he still managed to fly over the green hell forest.

"!!" Sofia who comes to open her eyes suddenly alerted herself by finding herself chained by black chains.

But soon, a ridiculous smile emerged on her lips when she saw the mysterious handsome man with white hair in front of her. Even if she did not know Alvine's identity, she knew she was in another situation similar to her daily life.

"Who are you?" She asked in a calm voice but she still couldn't hide her anger.

Seeing such hatred in her eyes, Alvine had an ironic smile. "Do you want to be free?" He asked.

But Sofia had cold sweats when she heard this familiar word.

She immediately tried to get rid of the chains that hindered her movements. But she instantly realized that not to mention breaking the shade chains, she could not even use her magical energy.

"I hate bastards like you. You only think about satisfying your sexual desires. Tsk, tsk. If you want to kill me, you'd better do it, I'm tired of this world anyway. But be sure that I prefer to die rather than be raped by another demonic beast." She replies with hateful red eyes.

"... Are they the side effects after Serena's possession?" Alvine wondered, looking at her with complex eyes.

'Sigh, in short, anyway, I didn't intend to ask her for her permission to read her memories.' He said to Himself by touching Sofia's forehead, between her horns.

"Remind and show me all !!" He murmured to himself.

At the same time, Sofia's red pupils turned golden again as she was bleeding from her nose, eyes, and ears.

But even if Alvine's action did not last more than ten seconds, he easily collected all the information he wanted to collect.

"What an ironic, I now understand why you are so afraid when you hear the word 'freedom'. So you're just a puppet finally?" He said in a monotonous tone while looking at Sofia who had once again fainted.

"Sigh, my original is right when he says that everyone's true enemy is nothing more than our own weakness; this girl is living proof. In short, I suppose that granting her a painless death will be the best remedy for her."
