"Well, well, to be honest, I was starting to worry that I was wrong and missing all the fun, but as usual I was right." Reto smirked, jumped off the rock, and headed toward the man.
'Hmm? Who is he? Am I unlucky enough to run into the owner of this Void? No... it's unlikely... his aura is too weak...' The man inwardly muttered as he blinked.
Whoooooooooosh.
Once he opened his eyes again, a mont passed before Reto was right in front of him, though there had been a great distance between them before.
'No!' He flinched as he prepared to fight, but stopped because of Reto's actions, as he simply extended his hand toward him.
'Hey, there's no need to be so frightened. We're two strangers who just t, so shouldn't we tell each other our nas, for starters?" Reto grinned, "My na is Reto Windon, how about you?"
The man was completely puzzled, he couldn't believe Reto was saying sothing like that, but for so reason, he responded to the handshake.
"My na is...Felix Dalton..." Felix said uncertainly, not understanding what was going on.
"Fine, you have a pretty good na. Felix, may I ask why you ca here? Is it all a coincidence that you showed up here when my Void is in the midst of a battle with other spaces?" Reto said in a calm voice, exuding a benevolent aura as if he and Felix were old friends.
In a strange way, it affected Felix as he no longer felt tense. He didn't expect anyone to et him, but he was ready to fight for such an occasion, but it all ca down to this in the end.
"No...I just wanted..." Felix said with a smile on his face as suddenly he stopped, he realized he couldn't tell Reto the truth.
Reto grinned as he squeezed Felix's hand tighter, "Don't worry, you don't need to answer. You're an Undead, by all accounts a good assassin, that's pretty obvious."
Reto continued staring intently into Felix's eyes among which fear was appearing, "You ca here to quietly take the resources and leave, didn't you?"
Felix wanted to object, as the intense tension returned, but he just couldn't say anything since he was too scared.
"Agh, I have to admit you had a great plan. You noticed that our Void was involved in the war and based on a large amount of energy and the fact that we were attacked by two spaces, you realized that there was definitely sothing of value here. Am I saying this right?" Reto asked with a sly smile while his calm voice seemingly hypnotized Felix.
"Yeah... That's how it was..." Felix replied and only then realized that he had actually said it.
"Hah, just as I thought. You're a pretty honest guy, I like that." Reto chuckled as his laughter magically cald Felix who was already ready to run away after Reto had figured it all out.
Reto remained silent until he asked rubbing his chin in thoughtfulness, "Hmm, if you could see that, then you have your Void too, right? Maybe you used so kind of special artifact?"
Felix shook his head, "No... I don't need artifacts... I have my own Void, but it's not as big as this one. I use my space as my personal treasure trove, where I keep everything I could get from the other Voids."
"Oh, doesn't that an you have a lot of rare resources, materials, and artifacts?" Reto's eyes went wide.
"Sure, I have a large collection. This Void is far from the first one I was going to rip off..." Felix replied with a smile, he seed completely oblivious to the situation he was in, "I try to quickly find the best of the Void and get away unnoticed, it works every ti!"
"Hah, that proves you know how to do your thing, you're a true master." Reto narrowed his eyes in sincere praise for Felix.
"Well, I have to admit that every ti I'm afraid soone might catch , but luckily that hasn't happened yet." Felix shrugged nonchalantly.
He waited for Reto to answer, but he just stared at him as if trying to see sothing.
"Hmm? Is there sothing wrong? Is there sothing on my face?" Felix muttered as he pointed at himself.
"Nah, I was just wondering what to do with you. Honestly, I didn't expect our conversation to get to this point... I think it's ti we moved on to the next phase." Reto sighed, let go of Felix's hand, and reached over to his head.
Felix was puzzled, he didn't understand what Reto was doing, but he wouldn't back away since he trusted him completely.
Snap.
Reto snaped Felix on the forehead. This simple action caused a small shockwave with the wind flow and threw Felix back a few ters.
Felix hit the tree trunk with a loud crack. He wasn't in much pain, but his mind was in chaos.
"You're a good assassin and a pleasant conversationalist, but you'd make a damn bad secret agent since you're too inattentive." Reto calmly spoke looking at Felix.
"Agh...? What the hell are you talking about? Wait... What's going on?" Felix muttered in disbelief looking at his hands.
After Reto's snap, a purple mist began to erge from Felix's body, which all along was covering him like a shell. Then all their conversation passed through Felix's mind again, only now there was not a slight smile on his face, but a frightened expression as a shiver ran through his body.
"Hahahaha, Reto may not be the most active mber of my Void, but damn, he's a genius! Hahahahahaha!" Wain laughed as he was thrilled with what he saw, "Gladius, you saw that too, right? That's incredible! He fooled him so cleverly that even I would have had a hard ti noticing it!"
"Yeah, that's really impressive." Gladius nodded, "Now that was the most interesting part for . What's he going to do next?"
