Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Chapter 248: CHAPTER 248 – Can I accompany…

People who can copy or steal abilities were looked upon as evil people.

It was not that their ability was evil, no ability is completely evil.

It's just how one uses it.

The people with those kinds of abilities often kill the one they steal an ability from, because they don't want trouble.

Because they don't want people to come chasing behind them.

But there are some people who kill their victims because they want to, they do it because they feel pleasure from it.

A devour-type ability is similar to copy and steal, it's just another level up.

It needs its victims to be devoured by them.

So, if this ability were to fall into the hands of someone psychotic, then it's the worst combination.

"I once heard that they had someone who could devour their enemies and extract their abilities….

An evil man, who would like to see his victims suffer as he devours them in the worst way they would want."

Clare grounded her teeth, trying to control her emotions.

"I once heard that he made a girl watch as he devoured her husband in front of her, while she was raped by the public.

He did all that in public, and no one said anything, instead, the males were busy enjoying the girl who screamed for them to stop…."

Alice, Ann, and Luna were now clenching their fists as well.

No girl likes hearing about things like this, after all, if you hear about something, for once, you will try to put yourself in their place.

And just that thought was enough to make Alice growl inwardly.

Her red hair started firing up, but just then a sweet and calming fragrance spread in the air.

"Calm down, we don't want this house to be blown apart…"

Alex sighed as he looked at Alice who nodded dumbly.

Alex had used his incubus aura as an area of effect ability for the first time, so he wasn't sure it would work, but it seemed to have worked fine.

The girls were now calm, although a bit dazed, but calm.

"All of you as well, calm down…."

Alex looked at the others and purred.

He then deactivated his ability.

"Continue when you have calmed down."

Alex then turned toward Clare and muttered.

"Un."

Clare nodded with the same absentminded expression as others.

..................….

(6 minutes later)

After calming down and drinking some water, everyone sat together again, and Clare started speaking.

"They call that guy the devour dragon, and he's very strong, one of the strongest generals in that empire.

If my guess is correct…."

Clare's voice turned into a mutter as it reached the end, but that pleasant sensation from before was still lingering inside her, not letting her get mad.

"The members of my family that were caught must've been devoured by him, and then the abilities that he extracted from them must be used to create a new batch of assassins that would be completely loyal to them."

Clare concluded by saying that.

This was the only thing she could think of.

There was a chance that the family members who were captured could be working for the empire, but she refused to believe that.

'There's no way anyone from the Grenefled family would give in to their enemies!'

She was confident about that.

"Wait, so you mean to say that these guys are from your world?"

Suddenly Alice pointed at something that everyone ignored till now.

Yes, were those people from the mysterious group from another world?

"…."

Clare's eyes widened in realization.

"Yes!"

She exclaimed as her body trembled.

This time, it was not because of rage, shame, anger, or excitement, this time it was in fear.

"That means people from her world can come here, and the gates aren't stopping them…."

Luna muttered to herself.

Clare who had the same thing in her mind was now about to panic.

If the people she ran away from, could come here, then they were doomed.

Much more so when her power was still suppressed.

However, before Clare could start panicking, Alex commented.

"No, not everyone, only the weaker ones can come."

'Right?'

Alex questioned inwardly.

[Yes, for now only the weaker ones can come.]

Sophia replied lazily.

She had been doing nothing but lazing around these days, Alex didn't need her help right now.

But she was not sad about it, instead, she was happy, after all, Alex would only need her help if something went wrong.

And that, she didn't want.

'So, what happens after the barrier is down?'

Alex knew that anyone could come here if the barrier was down, but he felt like there was something he was missing.

[This world's limit is EX rank, which means anything created or conjured by this world will not exceed EX rank, and that includes gates.

So, if someone tries to come through the gate, then they can't be higher than EX rank.

But if they find another method to enter this world, then there's no limit to their power.]

Sophia explained it the best she could.

'Another method? Is it common?'

Alex asked the two questions that came to his mind the moment he heard her last sentence.

[Yes, methods like space artifacts that could trace back to a world, or something like that, but no, it's not common, at least not in the lower worlds.]

Sophia replied to Alex, but Alex became curious about something else when he heard her words.

'Lower worlds?'

Alex raised a brow inwardly.

[You know that I can't tell you that.]

Sophia knew that Alex was asking it even though he knew that it was something she couldn't tell.

'Well, I was trying my luck…'

Alex just shrugged inwardly.

"What do you mean?"

But Clare who heard his last words, quested hurriedly.

There was hope in her eyes.

If what Alex said was true, then she could live well in this world, after all, she was strong enough to protect herself and her sister from the weaker ones.

"It is as I said, only the weaker ones can come here, the maximum limit of this world is EX rank, and that's the highest they could go."

Alex didn't tell them about the fact that there are other ways, it was better to keep it to himself for now.

Or at least not say it in front of Clare.

That girl almost had a panic attack, and Alex didn't want someone to die.

Alex's words were the most relieving thing that Clare heard till now.

She felt lighter now like the mountain that kept her pressured was blasted off by Alex's words.

Even before today, she was concerned that maybe someday, the people from her world will come here, and their lives will be miserable again.

But since it was someday, she was not panicking.

However, now that she heard Alex's words, she was tension-free.

She didn't doubt Alex, she knew that he wouldn't say something with that confidence if he was not sure.

She could tell that Alex was not that type of person, but then her face turned serious and she looked at Alex and Alice one by one.

"Can I accompany you guys whenever you plan to go to clear them out?"

Clare asked with hope in her voice.

She didn't need to mention who she was talking about, they were smart enough to understand that.

Alex and Alice exchanged a glance before Alice smiled and turned toward Clare.

"Sure, the more the merrier, right?"
