Novel Bin 288 Chapter 287
Alurelle didn\'t drop her guard even ten minutes after the end of the battle. A long time has passed since the last time the soldiers of Miebos followed her to the ocean to ambush her on her weakened and tired state. But for a warrior that fought for hundreds of years, one or two more hours of caution after a battle were nothing.
"Ahhh… So tired…" Alurelle massaged her shoulders. "I\'m tired of eating krakens and whales… maybe I should revisit the crab\'s dungeon."
Although Alurelle didn\'t drop her guard, she trusted on her eyes and her experience a little bit too much. The fact that never a soldier of Miebos managed to inflict a big wound on her aside from Donan played an essential part in her fall. The fact that she was flying in a straight line also would make her regret for the rest of her life… and he started to feel like that when she felt a sharp pain coming from her knees.
"Wha-…" Alurelle muttered in shock when she the part of her legs under her knees, falling to the ocean.
Once Alurelle recognized the origin of the pain, things only got worse. The pain became almost unbearable, and thanks to it, her transformation was undone, and then she returned to the size of an ordinary inhabitant of her world, which was between 1,80 and 2,20 meters of height. Although she was on the short side of her race, she was still taller than Leon.
Regardless, the pain warmed her warrior\'s instincts. Instead of thinking of running away, she looked for the bastard who attacked her by behind. Alurelle found a single man, inside of a vehicle that resembled a little bit the aircraft that she saw hundreds of years ago on her world. She also saw nine red-ish spears flying toward her, but it was too late. Those also cut off her arms. Fortunately or perhaps unfortunately, Alurelle wasn\'t bleeding, and she noticed why… she got attacked by one heck of spears that were made of a combination of earth and fire. The attack was so powerful that it immediately cauterized her wounds. Despite having such high-level resistances, she still got easily cut.
"What the…" Alurelle murmured in shock.
Along time has passed since Alurelle felt something like that… utterly hopelessness. No…, only twenty years have passed. She felt like that when she left her planet and arrived on Miebos… not even Donan made her feel like that twenty years ago. Alurelle instincts told her to escape instead of fight… and so she did. However, Alurelle felt an incredible force pulling her toward that figure was.
"Gravity… Telekinesis, too?" Alurelle said, surprised while she was watching the figure approaching.
Alurelle started to sweat cold, with her limbs cauterized, recover wouldn\'t regenerate them, and without her arms, she couldn\'t grab her swords that were on her hips. She only had two options, escape or headbutt the enemy. However, the very moment she tried to attack, the figure changed his control over Telekinesis and Gravity. He really didn\'t want to let her get close
"You!" Alurelle shouted.
"Sorry…" Leon said and then made he made several mithril staves attack her.
Leon\'s mithril staves were two times bigger than Alurelle; despite that, she took dozens of hits before she finally passed out. Regardless, that had been much easier than Leon expected… he couldn\'t face an army of hundreds of soldiers of Miebos, so it was clear that the harvesters were hiding some tricks.
"Mmm… I guess I succeeded thanks to Multi-Conjuration, Pyromancy, and Lion\'s pride… those basically increased the power of my Magma Spears at least twenty times… although I can only use their full power two times without running out of mana."
Regardless, Leon could think of those things later. First, he had to return to his base and start to extract information from Alurelle. He succeeded in the first part of his plans, but things would only get unpleasant from that moment onward.
When Alurelle woke up, she was tied up on a steel chair. Since she could fly, Leon made sure to tie the chair to the ground. To make things difficult for her, Leon sharpened the parts of the chair that were in touch with her body. If she tries to move too much, she would only hurt herself. Not only that, but Leon also impaled his mithril spear of the devourers on her left side, and he was currently using her own mana to keep a fireball above themselves… since they were in a basement Leon created under his base. The place was deep, but not large. If Alurelle tries to escape by becoming big, she would only get stuck on the hole.
"Sorry about this, but I needed some countermeasures," Leon said.
"Ugh… kill me," Alurelle murmured barely being able to open her eyes.
From Alurelle perspective, everything was spinning. She was too dizzy since Leon\'s spear was draining her mana and making her bleed… she wouldn\'t last half an hour in that state.
"I will probably end up doing that, but first, I need to know how you guys manage to travel between worlds," Leon said.
"Go to hell…" Alurelle said.
"Do you guys also have that kind of insult, or is this the will of the worlds translating the insult in a manner I can understand?" Leon frowned. "... Do you know how I\'m able to drain your mana? It is thanks to this spear. It is a magic weapon that I created using the spirit of a devourer… a monster of another world that eats anything that has mana… This will be the first time I will use the spirit of someone I can talk to as a catalyst to create a magic weapon. I don\'t know if you will stay \'alive\' inside my weapon, but I don\'t think it will be fun nonetheless. If you okay with that, then it is fine. But you must know that I will use the magic weapon I will create using your spirit to interrogate your friends… unless you give me the answers, I want."
