Chapter 866 - A Warm Meeting
After the fall of their elders, none of the devils actually had the strength to resist Alex and his group, including those who aimed to be the leader of this tribe. The gap between Martial Saint and G.o.d Rank was simply that enormous; it was hard to even be resisted by number alone.
That was also the reason why G.o.d Rank Experts were gems for a Divine World.
The battle only lasted for an hour before all the ten thousand devils fell in battle.
Alex closed his eyes, raised his head and let out a long sigh. As much as he didn"t want to kill the remaining devils, he needed to because they were different from normal enemies. Their poison was too dangerous to be left alive.
Alicia slowly flew toward him, looking at him with a gentle expression. Worry and anxiety bothered her heart because she was the reason Alex destroyed this tribe and killed the ten thousand devils, despite knowing that the elder was supposed to be the only one they needed to kill…
"Alex." Her voice was soft and soothing.
"Yes?" Alex gradually opened his eyes and glanced at her. "I am fine. I have done this a few times, so you don"t need to worry about me. Besides, we need to clean up here, making sure that we don"t leave anything that can lead to us behind."
Alicia glanced at the group and nodded. Considering her status, if she wanted the others" help, she only needed to ask the spirits to do so. But that thought never arose in her mind because they were already in her heart.
Alex and Sherry burned all the corpses along with the poison while Alicia dissolved the barrier that the tribe used. To think that this barrier became the weapon that trapped themselves, it was hilarious.
Nelson erased all traces behind, making the battlefield look like it had been shattered by G.o.d Rank Expert"s strength alone. So, any spies that would come here would think that this tribe had been attacked by several G.o.d Rank Experts, including a Rank 8 G.o.d.
And this would surely incite many suspicions to other devils whether only in this continent or another continent. In other words, they would have their own civil strife while the real culprit had gone.
It took them a whole day to clean up alone, but it was worth it. Alex and the group returned to the inn they stayed before and rested there.
Alex was sitting in a soft red chair, staring at Alicia with a smile.
Anna and Anya were present as well, while Sherry stood and hugged Alex from behind.
"This might be the first time we"ve met, Anna, Anya."
"Yeah. We have been talking from time to time, but I guess this is the time we"ve officially met." Anya nodded.
However, Anna was the first spirit Alex summoned, and he had introduced her to Alicia in the past, so Anna only smiled. "It"s been more than a decade, I guess. To think that you abandon your humanity and become one of us…"
"Abandon huh…" Alicia looked down before shaking her head. "You can say that, but never a single time I regretted my decision."
"Is that so?" Anna nodded with a smile.
"Before that, let me introduce myself again. I am Alicia Van Rizertia… Well, my homeworld doesn"t have this kind of custom, but I should introduce myself as Alicia Sirius." Alicia wanted to thank them, but she realized that they were only helping their husband, so she didn"t need to say thank you.
Anna and Anya also knew that and said nothing about it. There seemed to be something clicked in their mind before Anya decided to liven up the situation with her question. "In one thousand ultimate techniques, which one do you prefer?"
"One thousand ultimate techniques?" Alex tilted his head in confusion, glancing at Alicia and wondering if she knew about this.
On the contrary, Alicia"s eyes lit up as she answered without hesitation. "Mine is the 254th."
"Hmm… To think you love that one. I like the 500th. By the way, Anna is a bit shy, but she turns out to have two. The 599th and 801st." Anya ignored Alex"s question as well, so he looked at Anna, demanding the answer.
However, Anna had gotten embarra.s.sed by Anya, so she looked away, afraid to lock her eyes with Alex.
In the end, Alex raised his vision and looked at Sherry. "What are they talking about?"
"Ehehe…" Sherry scratched the back of her head, not knowing what to say about this. "I think Master shouldn"t know about this. This is a girl"s secret."
The moment he heard the word secret, something clicked in his mind as he finally understood what they were talking about. He could only shake his head in defeat.
In that instant, the two seemed to get even more fired up talking about it. Alex coughed up, lowering their excitement. "Ahem!"
"Ah!" The two girls smiled weirdly before gently stroking their cheek embarra.s.sedly.
"Anyway, I would like to ask about all the things I need to know about spirits, including the six rulers in the Spirit World."
"Where do I start…" Alicia looked at Anna and Anya, asking her to correct her words if she was wrong before proceeding to her explanation. "To put it in a simple world, there are five grades of spirits. Low, Mid, High, n.o.ble, and Ruler cla.s.ses. If we take a look at the grading of the system, all your Common, Uncommon, and Rare ranked spirits were grouped in Low to High cla.s.s respectively.
"Some of your SR rank, like Ngina, are still considered high cla.s.ses. Nicole and the others that have humanoid form can be considered n.o.ble Cla.s.s but barely. Most of the spirits in UR rank are n.o.ble Cla.s.s, except a few ones.
"Anna and Anya are considered Ruler Cla.s.s. Although they haven"t inherited their t.i.tle to govern Light and Dark Element, they can be considered one. If I am not wrong, the current rulers of Light and Dark Element are your parents, right?"
"Yes." Anna nodded. "Father is the ruler of Light Element, Light Fairy Spirit, while our mother is the ruler of Dark Element, Night b.u.t.terfly Spirit. Well, we inherited our mother since I am Dark b.u.t.terfly Spirit while Anya is Light b.u.t.terfly Spirit."
Anya added. "As you know, there are six elements that a spirit would grow with. Each element will have their respective ruler. Jeanne is the current ruler of Lightning Element. Although her strength is a bit low at the moment, she will get the rank back after regaining her previous strength."
"There are two more rulers, but I doubt you know any of them, so we will leave it at that." Alicia shrugged.
"So, you are considered as one, right?" Alex looked at Alicia with a serious expression.
"Yes. You can say so. Wait a minute…" Alicia suddenly noticed something amiss and couldn"t help but exclaim in surprise. "Alex has taken three rulers as his wives. Although Anna and Anya haven"t inherited the t.i.tle yet, their parents already want them to take over.
"Although Jeanne currently doesn"t have an interest in marrying you, the other two rulers might come to you to have a hand in marriage."
"Wait, so the other two rulers are females?" Alex twitched his eyebrows.
"Nope. The first one is your butler while the other one is an old man. Well, they can offer their daughter or something."
"I think the first one won"t… But the other guy might truly do it." Anna nodded in agreement.
"Eh?! Why are you not including me?" Jeanne suddenly sneaked outside before pouting.
The group turned their heads to Jeanne as Alex twitched his eyebrows, knowing that trouble had come.
"How about it, Master? I can be your bride as well… What? You want to say that you are going to jail? Don"t worry. I am a few thousand years old, so I am legal." Jeanne made a s.e.xy pose with her childish body while joking with Alex"s knowledge.
"And your true attention is…" Alex closed his eyes and sighed.
"Maybe we all can start having S&M pl—"
"Alright, you go back first!" Alex recalled Jeanne to the card and prevented her from coming out.
"Pfft." Anna and Anya chuckled as they both knew that Jeanne was just joking. Alicia suddenly dropped a bomb but said it in a playful tone. "By the way, sister Xingzhi has bought all the equipment for that."
Anna and Anya rose from their seat and hugged each other, looking at Alicia while sweating. They screamed at the same time. "Are you serious? No! She won"t hold back even for the first time. She looks gentle, but she is a s.a.d.i.s.t inside."
"Hahaha… I am joking." Alicia laughed hard. Since they were in the mood earlier, she decided to come up with this and got a good view of their expressions. It was precious.
"Huft…" Anna and Anya finally sat down while wiping the sweat. It might be a joke on Alicia"s side, but Anna and Anya were truly scared just now.
However, the matter didn"t stop there. A blue screen popped out of nowhere, saying.
[I have though.]
"…" The group fell silent, widening their eyes to the maximum. It was at this moment they knew they f*cked up.
[Just kidding.]
"You are not fooling anyone! Because we can"t hear your tone, we don"t know if you are joking or not!" Anna stuttered while rebuking her.
[So, you don"t want it to be a joke? Alright… I will buy it from Blackwade Clan. They are the biggest merchant around our planet, so their equipment must be the best.]
"Oi, oi. Are you mistaking them as an online shop?" Alex commented with a weird expression.
[Well, we can propose it to them if you want. Let"s see… Teleportation Array might not be able to send the package between worlds, but if we have the cooperation of the undead and their Teleportation Rune that can send something at a wider distance, I believe they can create a branch in many worlds. And they can start the delivery program. That is just a concept though.]
"Let"s stop at this, shall we? Stop! Okay?" Alex pinched the bridge of his nose. "I know that a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p must be too expensive to make, but I won"t comment farther than this."
[But you are going to meet them sooner or later to inform them about Song Jiaoren. I think this will be the perfect time to suggest something like that. And you must want a perfect Divine Sword and Divine Spear for you, so I think they can help that as well.]
"Alright, alright. Let"s talk about this at a later date. For now, let me finish the discussion about the spirits, alright?" Alex let out a long sigh.
[Fine.]
Anna and Anya exchanged looks and chuckled. Alicia was smiling and Sherry was humming. They all knew that Lin Xingzhi deserved this, so they let her flirt around like that.
