Chapter 437 The Request Of The Two Crystaluses.



Seeing that she had no say, Elena sighed nonchalantly. "Do as you want."

Meanwhile, Alvine stopped behind Cindy. 'The other girl is as cold as a soulless, so I don't think I can confirm my suspicions about them if I focus on her, but this Cindy...heh, she will do.'

While mumbling these words, he reaches out his hand, spreading each finger from the other, then...

-Spank!

"!?!" Elena remained speechless when she saw Alvine spanking one of the two women dressed as a maid.

While her chunky ass echoed harmoniously with the walls, Alvine's smile became sadistic when he noticed Cindy's murderous aura.

Even if it was only a thousandth of a second, it did not escape his senses.

'Heh, does she still want to play this little game? ALRIGHT THEN!' At the same time, his dark side threatened to take over him.

Raising his hand a second time, he gives another spanking, but stronger.

Still not satisfied with Cindy's reaction, Alvine rolled up the sleeves of his black shirt while taking a brief look at the two spectators, who were staring at him, without being able to say anything.

'What the heck is he doing!? Is he the same person!?' Elena had trouble thinking properly after seeing this new version of Alvine at work.

"Assi, come and help me lift this girl's skirt. I won't be able to do my job properly if this dress skirt constantly prevents me from reaching my goal."

"...What are you doing... exactly, Alvine?" Even if the current Alvine was more familiar to Assi, she still had difficulty understanding his goal.

Not wanting to waste time, Alvine then ignores Assi's help and raises Cindy's short dress himself.

But just before he went on the offensive, two navy blue daggers appeared under his throat in a flash!

"Hoo~? You cracked out faster than I thought." Seeing Cindy's bloodthirsty eyes, Alvine's shock turned into a vicious smile.

"One last word before you pass off?!" Cindy retorted as if she were possessed by an evil spirit.

Her words, which she has just spoken with more murderous eyes than those of Reaper in person, not only surprised Alvine but made her convinced of one thing.

'This girl's not really worthy of being a Crystalus; according to her aura, I can conclude that she has massacred so many people who could populate an entire planet.' He mutters with contracted eyebrows.

But against all odds, Alvine was not among the most surprised. Elena, despite her sharpened brain, had difficulty keeping up with the current.

She no longer knew if it was Alvine, who had just knowingly broken his mind control over Cindy, or if it was Cindy who, guided by her rage, finished breaking Alvine's spell by her simple will.

"What are you...

But unfortunately for her, no one could hear her voice, not to mention the question she mumbled to the attention of two.

"Oi, Oi, little Crystalus, how can you attack me when you're supposed to be under my control?" Alvine asks with a sneaky smile.

Cindy's aura became more fierce when she heard Alvine's sarcastic comments, who did not seem to take her threats too seriously.

She reaches her sharp blade directly on Alvine's skin. "Do you think I'm joking? Or maybe it's your last will!?"

"...Sigh." While sighing with nonchalance, Alvine focused on Rendy.

But the latter no longer tried to pretend, understanding that Alvine had also unmasked her from the beginning.

She looks at her sis with bleak eyes. "Keep away your daggers, Cindy." She says in the form of an order.

"What!? Do you think I'm going to let this fucking perv...

"Sigh, don't make yourself more stupid than you are now; if he were easy to slay, we would not be here to discuss it." She speaks in a sober voice despite her sister's dissatisfaction and enraged eyes.

"...Tsk!" The latter could only give in to her sister's rationales.

She didn't need a drawing to know this since she felt like she was pricking her dagger against a well-cut crystal.

As for Rendy, she looked at Alvine with intrepid eyes. "How did you know that...-

Alvine cut her off. "Don't force me to repeat the words you just said to your sister."

By dint of being in the dark, Elena asks. "Were they yes or no under your control?"

Seeing her fierce eyes and knowing her temperament similar to that of Heppha, Alvine explains himself, before the other crazy woman turns to wild.

"It's easy to understand, these two followed me willingly by acting as victims."

"...That explains why you asked me not to question them." Satisfied with Alvine's answer, Elena nods her head. "But Why?" She continued.

"That's what I ask myself," Alvine mutters while looking at both with curious eyes.

"It's...

"This place is not made for that." He spoke as a black portal demonstrated behind him.

"Follow me; I want to hear your story." He continues before crossing the portal followed by the others.

Instead of the palace, Alvine and the others appeared in an icy area, more precisely where Isolet's real body was supposed to be.

'As I imagined; she didn't bother to take away the roots that contain almost all the energy of the tree.' He immediately concludes while looking underground with his perception.

'Perhaps since she was too hasty, she couldn't take it with her? - No, it's rather because she was afraid that Isolet would resist her if she regained her former powers. Finally, no matter her reasons, it was really stupid of her to leave such an amount of energy in this place.

-In addition to the five planets that I could purify into evolutionary seeds, the roots will greatly serve to boost my level. It's unsightly; Don't think about it anymore, to the great evils the great remedies!'

"Why are we here?"

Hearing Rendy's voice, Alvine answers without turning to her. "Since you have big on your heart, I have to put you in the mood."

"...It's amazing to see you so relaxed despite the death waiting for you in the shade," Rendy mutters in a calm voice that testifies to her indifference to Alvine's joke.

"Hide in the shade, you say? Well, I guess you meant in the light? Because the shades and I are one." As soon as he finished retorting these words, he put his palm on the floor and then closed his eyes.

In the same second, the icy area trembled fiercely under their feet and the layer of ice gradually began to melt as if it were subjected to a volcanic tempera.

Not knowing what he was preparing, Cindy and her sister, while counting Elena and Assi, began to levitate above the crater suddenly manifested under their feet by Alvine's actions.

In just two more seconds, the crater a few meters became as deep as a giant hole created by a natural formation.

"What exactly’s he doing?" Cindy growls between her clenched teeth.

It seems she was still mad with Alvine.

But the person concerned’s voice sounded behind her when she asked her question. "My concerns are not yours." Alvine reappeared on the surface with his sleeves still rolled up.

He then continued before one of the two asked him what he had just done.

"Since I don't have much time at my disposal, I took the trouble to take care of this task as a bonus. Now, tell me what your mistress has behind her head to send you to me in this way."

The two twin sisters looked at each other instinctively when they heard Alvine's sudden question. It was not just his question, even the tone of his voice was no more like before.

Considering all these notable factors, Cindy and her sis could guess that they now had all his attention.

"Our queen wants to cooperate with you as an ally for...-

"I'll stop you right away, Miss Rendy. It's not because you always have your head on your shoulders that it means you have my confidence. As for your queen, I'm in no way interested in any alliance with her."

Rendy slightly raises her thin eyebrows. "Is it for personal reasons?" She asks.

"No, not quiet. I know that something’s wrong with her, otherwise, she would not get involved in such a dangerous war that will probably cost the lives of thousands, no, billions of people." He contradicts Rendy while shaking his head.

"...She does not act of her own will." Cindy then reveals.

"That, I had already guessed it. But on the other hand, I can't know how much she's influenced by this spell which had almost created great upheavals during my absence." He says in a nonchalant tone.

The eyes of the two girls dilated when they heard him say these words.

"How do you know she's under control?" Cindy takes the lead against her sister once again.

"...Even if the Crystaluses can cancel the effects of the magic of others on them, they still remain ordinary creatures like any other species governing this universe. They are therefore not invincible.

-As for how I was able to guess this, it was by making the link between the inaction of others, who didn't doubt the fact that I was able to take control over you, and the powers of this woman, who even managed to control a being as old as Isolet."

After hearing his explanations, the two sisters nodded.

"Yes, you are half right."

"...In short, for reasons you need to know, I’m not interested in allying myself with a few, who are not able to defend themselves. Plus, since she's with my enemies I'd have no choice but to do the strict necessary to free her; except that there's a problem, I don't have time for her." Alvine gave his verdict even before listening to the full story.

Hearing his ruling, even Rendy's lethargy threatened to fade on her face.

"Do you think we will be deadweight?"

"You already are, Miss Rendy." He said without breaking the eye contact with her.

The latter frowns with skepticism.

Seeing her doubting his words, Alvine kept on. "But since you don't seem to understand where I'm going, I'm going to be direct without chewing my words." He took a brief break, thus captivating the attention of others to him.

"First, assuming it's not a trap and I accept your request, I should cooperate to break the spell that submitted her beyond her will. Given her identity and kinfolk, I’m surprised that she was able to be enslaved by a spiritual skill; in other words, this skill, despite her managing to keep her conscience, is of a higher level. Breaking it would thus require resources that I would very much like to invest in my army.

-Secondly, she's only head of the order by name, in other words, she no longer has any military force. And finally, as a Cristalus, she's against all bloodshed; you are therefore not qualified to be allied with me.

-We do not have the same cause to defend, nor the same principles. That's why the word alliance will be a joke for both of us."
