The atmosphere in the room beca silent after Azalia said those words. Ziel frowned because he felt that his life would be more complicated in the future if those prival gods really ca to the Clorius continent. He was confident he could fight three or four divine races simultaneously, but it was a different story with a prival god whose power he still didn't know.
On the other hand, Lilith trembled from feeling the sa fear as Azalia. As soone from the divine race, she naturally didn't want those prival gods to co to the Clorius continent and start hunting down the people of her race one after another.
"So that's why Azael left the space beast to you and didn't use it when he fought with . He had no intention of taking the monster to death with him because he wanted you to keep it to protect your race." Ziel nodded after understanding why Azael didn't have a space beast with him when fighting against him.
"You are right. That was the original goal, but didn't you kill the beast? So we have no other trump card to use against those prival gods. Space beasts are the only monsters my parents left behind that can fight them or buy ti until we can escape." Azalia smiled bitterly after rembering that she had lost the space beast. She couldn't bla Aghares for releasing the monster or Ziel for killing it.
"Hmm… I'm sorry, but I had no other choice but to kill the monster." Ziel didn't think that space beasts were essential for the survival of the divine race.
"At first, I did bla you, but not anymore. What I have to do right now is hasten the collecting of the world altar fragnts and regroup the people of the divine race who were scattered to various corners of the continent." Azalia smiled to reassure Ziel that she no longer blad him for the matter. She would instead think about plans for their race than regret what had happened.
"What do you an regrouping the people of the divine race? Aren't all the people of the divine race under the auspices of the god's domain organization?" Ziel raised his eyebrows after hearing Azalia's plan. He thought everyone from the divine race would automatically beco mbers of the god domain organization, but he seed wrong.
"I hope so too. Unfortunately, the reality that happened was different from what I expected. The people of the divine race have been divided since my brother's death. So gathered together and lived peacefully in a remote place on the Clorius continent. The rest, I have absolutely no idea of their whereabouts." Azalia shook her head helplessly.
"If you say you want to gather them back, you already have a way, right? Because you can't search for them one by one on this continent." Ziel said indifferently to Azalia. Even though it was only his guess, he was 80% sure that Azalia already had her way.
"You're right. I already have a way. The thod is the sa as when I invited people from the divine race who wanted to beco mbers of the god domain organization. But I'm sorry that I can't tell you about this." Azalia said apologetically to Ziel. Lilith nodded after hearing Azalia's words because she also accepted the invitation.
"You don't need to apologize because I wouldn't ask that far either. But I'm guessing that you can find out the location of the world altar fragnts must use that thod too. Isn't that right, Azalia?" Ziel once wondered about how the people of the divine race found the location of the world altar fragnt. It turned out to be related to Azalia. Although it didn't show the exact location, it made it easier for them to search for the world altar fragnts.
"Looks like I can't hide that from you." Azalia smiled broadly and didn't deny Ziel's conjecture.
"I was just guessing, but I didn't think my guess would hit the mark." Ziel didn't want to talk about it anymore because he didn't want Azalia to think that he was looking for Azalia's way of finding that world altar fragnt. After all, he had never been interested in it in the first place.
"Hey, Ken..." Azalia looked like she wanted to say sothing but got stuck in her throat from hesitating.
"Hmm...what's wrong?" Ziel looked into Azalia's eyes.
"Why did you get in the way of my plans, Ken? Why do you kill people from my race and always fail in collecting the world altar fragnts? Are you still siding with the human race until now and hostile to our race because you are a hero?" In the end, Azalia ventured to ask Ziel.
Even though Azalia had only t Ziel once in the past, she didn't want their current good relationship to be damaged because of that question. But because she was carried away by her curiosity, Azalia couldn't help but have to ask. Lilith glanced at Ziel beside her. She more or less already knew why Ziel killed the people from the god domain organization.
"You seem to have misunderstood. First, I'm no longer a hero. If you ntion heroes, you must already know that the Rubelia Kingdom has summoned four new heroes from another world. Second, I don't really care about the human race or any other race on this continent. I killed people of your race because they touched the people around . Otherwise, I don't care what they do." Ziel answered Azalia's question with a serious face.
"Would you still not care if the people of my race and I massacred every living thing on this continent?" Azalia asked Ziel with a sweet smile on her face.
After hearing Azalia's words, Lilith felt a chill run down her spine. She didn't know if Azalia's words were serious or a joke.
"I don't care as long as you don't touch the people around ." Ziel replied indifferently.
"Hahaha… I'm kidding, Ken! Please don't take my words seriously. But I'm a little jealous of those people around you." Azalia laughed and glanced at Lilith next to Ziel. Even though she looked like she was joking, the jealousy in her heart was real as it was clearly displayed on her face.
"I understand." Ziel answered curtly. After that, the two of them fell silent, and neither started a conversation anymore. After a while, Azalia finally broke their silence.
"Hey, Ken. Can you give the two world altar fragnts in your possession? Don't worry. I won't ask for it for free. You know I don't have anything that catches your eye. But I will give you everything I have as long as you give the world altar fragnts." Azalia asked with a hopeful face. Her face was slightly red when she said her last sentence because she realized what she ant.
Ziel raised his eyebrows after hearing Azalia's request. If Azalia was serious about taking the people of her race to another world, she had to get the world altar fragnt from Ziel's hands, either voluntarily or by force. Ziel had been waiting for this question. But he didn't expect Azalia to say such a bold thing. It shows how much Azalia cares about the survival of her race.
On the other hand, Lilith was shocked after hearing Azalia's words. She didn't think that Azalia would make such an exchange. It was the sa as Azalia exchanging herself for the world altar fragnt and Ziel not responding to Azalia's request right away. He was silent for a mont and furrowed his brows. This made Azalia even more nervous.
"I don't know what you're thinking right now, but I would never make an exchange like this to anyone else, even if they have a world altar fragnt! I dare to do this because I believe in you. I'm explaining this, so you don't misunderstand what I said earlier!" Azalia explained in a panic after thinking about why Ziel was silent after hearing her offer.
"Are you sure you will give anything?" Ziel looked at Azalia's beautiful body from top to bottom. What he's doing looks like a pervert if other people don't know him. But Lilith knew that Ziel was thinking about sothing else. Even so, she couldn't help but frown as she watched Ziel's eyes keep staring at Azalia's body.
"Of course!" Azalia answered firmly as if she was challenging Ziel. Her face blushed without her noticing.
"Give the tool you used to trace the world altar fragnts." Ziel said flatly.
"It's not that I don't want to give it to you, but it can only be used by , and there's no way to transfer ownership." Azalia was surprised by Ziel's request. She was disappointed that Ziel didn't seem interested in her at all. She felt she had lost her charm as a woman.
"I was only joking with you. I'll give you my world altar fragnt after you've collected all the rest. I'll give it to you for free, so you don't have to give anything to ." Ziel just wanted to see how Azalia would respond when she asked for the tool.
Lilith sighed in relief after hearing Ziel's words. She was glad that Ziel didn't take advantage of Azalia's offer. If it was another man, Lilith was sure that person would not be able to resist the charm of a perfect woman like Azalia.
"Okay. I will collect it soon." Azalia smiled weakly in response to Ziel's words.
"Looks like you already know the location of the last world altar fragnt. Please be careful. You must have known that one of the world altar fragnts was in the Rubelia Kingdom. If not necessary, don't kill too many humans there when the fight breaks out." Ziel didn't an to defend the human race. He knew Azalia liked to mingle with other races, so Ziel didn't want to see her force herself to slaughter them.
Even though he only t her once in the past, Ziel could tell that Azalia didn't like killing. The massacre of humans and other races and the divine race experint had been carried out without Azalia knowing. Ziel could tell from his chat with Azalia, and he felt that Azalia was still the sa girl he t 900 years ago. Even so, Ziel didn't tell Azalia about the matter. He wanted Azalia to find out herself.
"Okay. Looks like it's ti for to go back. But before that…" Ziel stood up from his chair and pointed at Azalia. Gray light erupted from his body and filled the room. Azalia opened her eyes wide after seeing sothing floating behind Ziel.
[Ti Rewind]
A giant spirit circle appeared behind Ziel and then rotated. Ziel gathered the gray light at his fingertips and shot it at Azalia's hand.
"What are you doing...!?" Azalia wanted to dodge the gray light, but the spirit circle behind Ziel rotated again and stopped her movent. Azalia couldn't help but accept the gray light.
A gray light enveloped Azalia's hand and slowly restored her hand to its original state. Not long after, Ziel pulled back the gray light and the aurora from Azalia's hand. The aurora was the power that made the wound on Azalia's hand unable to heal until now.
"Ken… this is…" Azalia felt that her hand no longer hurt. Then she removed the bandages covering her arms. Azalia was surprised because the wound on her hand had disappeared and returned to her white and smooth skin. She had tried various ways to treat the injury over the past week, but all her efforts were vain. But Ziel easily healed her in a matter of minutes. Of course, this made Azalia amazed.
"It was the gift of our eting after so long. All right, I have to go back. You'd better rest to recover your condition fully." Ziel removed the barrier he had created and exited Azalia's room. Lilith followed obediently behind him. At the door, aghares were already waiting for him with piercing eyes, but Ziel just ignored him.
"Miss, your hand!" Aghares was shocked after seeing Azalia folding her long-sleeved shirt and showing the skin on her hands. Azalia just smiled and didn't answer. She left Aghares and intended to accompany Ziel and Lilith until they ca out of the barrier of her castle. Aghares was stunned and then followed Azalia from behind.
After Ziel crossed the castle barrier, he turned around and looked straight into Azalia's beautiful eyes.
"I know you bear a heavy burden after Azael's death. You must maintain the survival of your race on this continent. I just wanted to say, if you run into a problem you can't solve, co to . Think of it as my sense of responsibility. But if you or people from your race touch the people around , I will kill you without rcy." Ziel said seriously to Azalia.
"I understand!" Azalia smiled broadly after hearing Ziel's words. Even though Ziel's words sounded like a threat, she could feel Ziel caring for her.
"Okay. See you again." Ziel patted Lilith's shoulder, and they disappeared from Azalia's sight.
"Miss, what are we going to do next?" Aghares trembled after hearing Ziel's words earlier.
"We will hasten the collecting of the world altar fragnts. I will go with you to the location the Cardinal Mirror points to. After Fornius wakes up, we will imdiately depart for the Beast Kingdom." Azalia smiled like a blooming flower and kept staring at the place where Ziel had disappeared.
