Chapter 200: CHAPTER 200 – Getting out of the gate.
Chapter 200: CHAPTER 200 – Getting out of the gate.
[Just like you have demonic energy in your body, some other high-ranking demons have that in their bodies.
But there are some special demons that have the power or skill to convert others into demons.]
Sophia was about to continue but Alex stopped her with a question.
'You mean demonification?'
Alex already knew what demonification was, after all, he had seen the Aquathrens turn purple.
[No, not like that, the one that turns into a demon with that process, although low, but still, they will have the real demonic energy in their bodies.]
'I see…'
Alex nodded his head and Sophia continued.
[The ones they convert into demons will have demonic energy as well, but it will be very much diluted. Its quality will be low, just a little above mana.]
'What's the profit then?'
Alex didn't understand why someone would want to have that low-quality demonic energy.
[It can regenerate at the same speed as mana.]
'Ah…'
Alex finally understood the reason why people would want to turn demons through that process.
But then something clicked in his mind.
'Diluting the demonic energy, that means mixing both mana and demonic energy….'
Alex was cooking some kind of theory in his mind, something that would come as a surprise even for Sophia, but on the outside, he explained what he could make out of the situation to Alice, Ann, and Misty.
(Noctura is not even listening to the conversation, so we will focus on the reactions of only those who are listening.)
"All right, so about what happened to your friends, well, they were used as a sacrifice on the altar…."
Alex muttered and Alice and Ann frowned. Misty, on the other hand, remained still, she didn't show any emotional fluctuation.
"Sacrificed for what?"
Alice asked with a frown.
"This altar here is something that is used to take in living beings and create pills out of it, those pills can be used to power up oneself."
Alex spoke as he looked at all three of them simultaneously before he continued.
"Her friends, they were alive as she said, but Argon kept them alive because he wanted them here.
He wanted to use them to get that pill to power himself up.
With the bodies of more tha 100 raiders which consisted of S-rankers, A-rankers, and others, the pill that this altar would make could turn 50+ S-rankers into SS-rankers.
After he was done, he probably ran away, and since we didn't see him on the way here, that means he is already out of the gate."
Alex explained his point, but then Ann asked the question that Misty wanted to ask so much.
"Then what happened to the bodies?"
"The bodies, the bodies were used for the other function of the altar…."
Alex spoke as he turned toward the altar and pointed at the center of it where the black gooey stuff was still present.
"You see that gooey stuff over there?"
Alex questioned.
Alice and Ann nodded their heads while Misty just looked at it, but that was enough to let Alex know that she was looking at it.
"That thing is the waste left out of the bodies," Alex commented.
Alice and Ann's eyes widened as they heard it.
"It is as you are thinking, that is what is left of those raiders.
If we were to test take a sample of that gooey stuff, we could find the DNAs of all the hunters that Misty was looking for."
Alex nodded as he spoke.
"What is the function?"
Ann asked as Alex had yet to tell what the second function was.
"It is to create a body," Alex replied to Ann.
"A body?" Alice asked in confusion.
'What do you mean a body?'
'What kind of body are we talking about?'
But she wasn't the only one confused, even Ann was confused, as for Misty, well, she was still looking at that gooey liquid.
"A body or a vessel for someone incorporeal, someone who doesn't have a body."
His words made Alice and Ann widen their eyes as they knew about Aurora.
'Isn't she a spirit?!'
They remember Alex telling them Aurora didn't yet have a body, that she was like a ghost, without a body and only spirit.
"But since Argon has a body, he didn't take it for himself.
He probably took it for an experiment, or maybe because he didn't want to leave the bodies behind.
I don't know why he did it, but he did take them away. He has the pill/ pills, and the body."
Alex concluded, but no one said anything.
Alice and Ann were still processing all that, same for Misty.
But Alice and Ann were things something else as well.
'We were going to 'negotiate' whatever Argon took from here….'
'Now he is going to get stronger than before….'
'He will probably reach EX-rank.'
They were thinking of many things but then Alex's voice was heard.
"I will now remove the skill effect on you.
You might feel a bit dizzy, but you will be fine after that."
Alex spoke as he looked at Misty who was looking into his eyes, and then he snapped his finger.
*Snap*
Misty's eyes regained their color before she fell forward.
Alex moved to catch her, but Alice beat him to it.
"It's fine, I will help her."
Alice spoke with a smile that didn't look like a smile.
"All right, all right," Alex raised his hands in surrender as he moved back.
Alice and Ann moved close to Misty and supported her for a while before Misty smiled and said, "I'm fine now."
They let go of her, but they still kept an eye on her.
They knew that Alex's ability was still working but they could see some strain on Misty's face, it was as if she was dissatisfied with something.
"I know you might feel wronged by the fact that I used my skill on you without saying anything, but please know that you are the only one who can prove that we are not the bad guys here."
Alex's words made them all realize just how big this matter was.
'All of the strongest raiders of the Blue Empire other than Misty are dead if we don't take Argon into account.'
Ann analyzed the situation inwardly.
"We don't know what Argon did after he went out of the gate, so we need you with us to tell them what actually happened."
Alex continued and Misty nodded her head.
'He had no other option…'
She thought that Alex did what he did because he had to.
How could she have known that Alex could simply wipe the minds of all the humans and make them believe what he wanted to?
Alex was doing all this because he didn't want to use that power if not necessary.
"Let's go and see what's happening out there."
Alex spoke as he looked at Alice.
Alice nodded her head before she took the lead and walked ahead of them.
"Let's go."
