438 437: She's A Monster
'Who am I?'
'That's what I should be asking you.'
'What sort of a monster are you?'
Corey remained silent for a full seven seconds, his mind entirely preoccupied with the strangeness of the woman before him.
His stars of consciousness flared brightly as they ca up with several hypotheses, each one more insane than the last. After a full seven seconds, the woman was about to speak, but Corey eventually ca to a decision, and that was to check out her stats.
With a thought, he instantly used Record on her. His left eye changed, and the woman's eyes widened in shock and a tinge of fear. She took a step back and stared at Corey with visible fear and disbelief.
"What? How?"
She asked, but Corey's mind was on the translucent screen before him.

'Unlimited Energy? Infinite Mana? Rune Sage? Arcane Human? Violet Star?'
'What the fuck is this?... She's a monster.'
Corey's expression changed multiple tis as his gaze remained fixed on the translucent screen before him.
'Did she wish for unlimited energy? What's a Rune Sage? What's an Arcane Human?'
He had so many questions he wanted to ask, and he suddenly beca wary of the woman before him.
'The racial limitations of normal Humans is yellow star, High Humans is green star, Ascended Humans is Blue star, and Primordial Humans is Indigo Star.'
'According to what I learned in one of the most expensive books in the Inner Library, the human race has not been able to achieve an evolution that would allow them to break the racial limitation of being able to reach the Violet Star realm.'
'In fact, according to what I read, the number of Primordial Humans are so few that in the entire universe, they could actually be counted.'
'But here I am, witnessing a human who has achieved the Violet Star realm. How did she do it? Is she actually an inhabitant of New Earth?'
Corey's expression beca solemn as he focused on the translucent screen before him.
'Would she be stronger than the Capra King?'
'What would happen if I face her?... Would I lose?'
'Just who is she?'
Barely three seconds had gone by from the mont Corey used Record on her, and after regaining a fraction of his calmness and composure, he shifted his gaze back to Pala, although he had seen so of her stats, he could not help but ask solemnly.
"Who are you?"
Pala stared at Corey with a deep frown, and her expression also beca more solemn as she stared at Corey.
'He scanned and was able to see so of my stats even with all the protections I have… Even though I tried to block it in the next second, just that second was all he needed to so of my stats.'
'He was able to scan , but I wasn't able to scan him.'
'What a monster… Who the fuck is he?'
Pala's eyes flashed with wariness, and just as she was about to speak, a voice resounded in the ears of both Pala and Corey.
"Ah! No wonder you looked familiar. You're Pala, the leader of The Destroyers of Darkness."
'The leader of The Darkness Destroyers? That Pala? Wait…' Corey froze as he suddenly recalled sothing, 'She also wrote the book on Fundantals of Magic, and I also learned from her about runes through the books she wrote.'
'I never expected her to be a monster.'
Pala shifted her gaze from Corey to Selene who stood beside Corey with a surprised and baffled expression.
'I was so shocked and awed by his presence that I failed to notice her presence. Who is she by the way? She seems normal, unlike this monster beside her.'
"Who are you?" She asked with a tone of pure curiosity.
"I'm Selene," She gestured to herself, and then she gestured towards Corey, "And he's Smile Reaper, my Master."
Selene had noticed the strange reaction of both Corey and Pala and though she had no idea what was going on, she wanted Pala to know that Corey was her master.
09:55
Although she had no idea why she had such a thought, it just naturally ca to her.
anwhile, Pala was slightly taken aback by Selene's words, she never expected to hear such a thing from Selene but after thinking about it, she nodded slightly and mumbled.
"I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for you to have such a monster as your Master."
"Monster?" Selene tilted her head with a slight frown, but Pala ignored her.
She looked at Corey who had been silently staring at her throughout the conversation, and then she smiled slightly.
"I'd love to get acquainted with the two of you… if you don't mind."
Corey glanced at her for a second, and then he nodded his head slightly.
"We don't mind."
Pala's gaze brightened, and she clapped her hands, "Alright. Do you guys want sothing to eat? A place to rest? Or do you have sothing you have to do?"
Pala asked since she had no idea what their plans were. If not for the runes telling her to wait behind, she would have never encountered the two of them in Gravenborn City.
Corey glanced around, and then he slowly said, "We were planning on going to the City Hall… We're new here."
Pala was slightly taken aback, and then she chuckled, "I guess I should have expected that."
"Well, I can help you with the citizenship process. It'll be much faster if I go with you."
Corey nodded slightly, "Thanks, we'd like that."
Pala's smile widened a little, and then she turned, "Let's go then."
Both Corey and Selene followed Pala from behind, and when Selene saw that Corey and Pala were no longer talking, she could not help but ask Corey what was on her mind.
'What happened back there?'
Corey remained silent and gave no response for a few seconds before he finally responded.
'She's strong. Extrely strong… I'm not confident in a fight against her.'
Selene's eyes widened in disbelief, and she almost stood rooted on the spot.
