Despite saying that kind of thing while smiling, Leon felt a terrible taste in his mouth. Physical and psychological torture… he never imagined he would fall so low. He fought against nurous monsters and humans, he didn't take pleasure on that, but even though he killed a lot, he never retorted to torture… causing pain to an already defeated foe was… unsettling.
Leon begun to feel even worse when Alurelle started to tremble and bite her lips, it looked like Darya was right, the harvesters ca from the sa world… or from at least the sa solar system.
"It is your choice, this may end with you, or I will continue with your friends…" Leon said. "In fact, I'm looking forward to creating magic weapons using their spirits too."
"… Why do you want to learn that?" Alurelle asked.
"Why do you care?" Leon frowned. "… Well, keeping that as a secret or telling won't change anything… I want to return to my world, that is why. A lizard bastard brought to this place, hoping that I would die here…"
"You are not from this world…" Alurelle said, surprised. " Even if I told you, you wouldn't be able to return to your world."
"Why?" Leon asked.
"A lot of mana is necessary to use that thod, fair more than you or I have," Alurelle explained. "Besides, you would have to know the precise location of the planet you want to go to. You don't know that, right?"
"Shit…" Leon bit his lips and clenched his fists.

"I will return… that bastard summoned with a single spell, and he didn't look tired," Leon said. "You guys thod is just crude, that is why you need so much mana. Besides, you are from a race of warriors, so it doesn't surprise that you managed to learn such a low-level of teleportation… Still, maybe by learning that, I can find a way to learn the real teleportation. Tell about the spell you guys used."
"I don't know the details… What I do know is that to travel between my world and this world, we had to create a bridge made of mana," Alurelle explained. "You connect two places with enough mana, and you will be able to Transfer to the second point."
"Transfer, is that the na of the skill?" Leon asked. "It looks like it is an improved version of Checkpoint."
"I gave you the information you asked for," Alurelle glared at Leon with her unfocused eyes. "Now promise that you won't touch them."
"Well, that will depend…" Leon said. "Why did you guys left your world? Why are you guys attacking the people of this world?"
"… We lost our planets because we weren't strong enough when the third stage of assimilation started." Alurelle bit her lips. "We lost them before we could even react… without any other choice, we created a plan to flee to another assimilated world, where we still could grow stronger… until one day, we obtain the power to reclaim our worlds."
"You guys have a decent goal… but you guys are killing the people of this world and, at the sa ti leading them to their doom," Leon said. "So, I guess you are not much different from the creatures that took over your planets."
"You are wrong! We are here only to challenge the dungeons and strengthen ourselves!" Alurelle shouted. "Assholes like Ivolaer and Inglar kill the soldiers of this world, but that is not the goal of our group."
"Inglar? Who is that? The fire titan?" Leon frowned. "Either way, it looks like despite having a common goal, your group isn't that cooperative. Regardless, it doesn't an anything to if you kill the people of this world or not… In any case, if your friends don't bother , I promise I won't do anything to them."
After that, Alurelle lowered her head and prepared herself. The fate of those who drop their guards on the battlefield was obvious. She was in another world, where she was the enemy of the dominant of that world. Still… she was attacked by surprise, so Alurelle accepter her death.
Noticing her resolution, Leon could only sigh. For the first ti of his life, Leon was afraid of himself, while his hand approached Alurelle to use Seal, he noticed that he was trembling like a leaf. Those harvesters weren't his enemies, but he was willing to use their lives just to achieve his goals faster… he obtained the information he wanted, despite that, Leon was still willing to treat those who weren't his enemies like tools… in a sense, he wasn't much better than Donan.
"Tch…" Leon clicked his tongue in annoyance.
Leon grabbed a mithril staff and hit on Alurelle's head. He would probably regret that later, but at the mont, Leon was unable to shut up his conscience…
Alurelle woke up in the middle of a random island, and at that very mont, she recalled every single part of the conversation she had with that strange individual. In the end, he spared her, but for what? Alurelle didn't even have her… her limbs were back, and all the wounds of her body disappeared.
"What the…" Alurelle murmured in shock.
