Chapter 397 Unexpected Guests!
A little rather...
When the fairy Reha had left Alvine's territory, he proceeded as planned.
He waited a minute, and after this time, he opened his eyes, which were becoming almost entirely dark.
'... I don't have much time left; let's finish before it's not too late.' As soon as he pronounced these words, the three previous clones reappeared before him.
And this time, their destinations were the three planets of rank one on Reha's territory, the planet of the Punishers, Leaders, and the ancestral beasts.
This destination was intended to ransack the three celestial libraries to find the books of the lives of all those dead and still alive with him.
'With their life books, I could resurrect them without any problem. But I needed to know more about their lives, experiences, and everything to avoid being mistaken. The names may resemble or change with several reincarnations, but their soul signatures remain the same.
-If I didn't have their bodies, it would be impossible for me to acquire their memories.
He remains in his thoughts while waiting for his henchmen, who have just left.
The reason for Reha's rage with him was she learns that Alvine had taken advantage of her meeting with her other self to desecrate her three sacred libraries. It was partly because of this event that she refused to leave the command to the fairy. She had concluded that she had allied with Alvine just to regain her freedom, hence her lack of confidence in her.
--
After a determined moment, his henchmen reappeared in front of him rather than expected. But he did not wonder what they committed; the most important thing for him was to see the hundreds of thousands of pounds of lives they brought with them.
With a simple look, Alvine could only smile slightly with joy.
'I'm not powerful enough to... it doesn't matter. The important thing is that I'm powerful enough to resurrect these two.' He whispers as he looks at the two pale corpses dressed in silky white sundresses.
With this conclusion, the books vanished before him, leaving only two books, one blue starry and the other white snowy.
'... Unfortunately, Sylvia is still a pure soul until her last breath.' He lightly caresses the white book with sad eyes.
He knew that Sylvia and Linn would no longer be able to be out of the darkness. Like the other shadow soldiers, Sylvia, which he considered his guardian angel, will look more like a fallen angel than anything else. As for Linn, even Alvine didn't know what she would become or how powerful she would become.
But all these details didn't matter to him. These two souls may coexist with the darkness, but they will remain the same, just like Heepha and those resurrected by him.
With that in mind, hesitation was an unknown word to him, and failure was intolerable.
He leafed through Sylvia's thick book of life and did the same with Linn's to learn everything about their experiences.
After finishing reading and understanding the essentials, green flames began to manifest themselves in his hands and consumed the two books in both his hands.
-Whshhhh!!!
Suddenly, a fierce aura and vital energy escape from the ashes of the two books. At the same time, Alvine waved his hand, and two small black spheres appeared before him. The black spheres, the same size as a basketball, which was only two black holes, absorb all the aura and vital energy of Sylvia and Linn in the process.
[Shadow Concept: condensation and elementary fusion.]
-GRUUUU!!!
Barely finished pronouncing these words in his mind, the two black holes begin to vibrate and tremble like a monster shredding its prey.
Alvine frowns. 'Even after many years, I still can't get used to this unpleasant sound. By burning these two grimoires with the flames of souls, it frees them from their prison, which is none other than these books that seal every soul of their owners after their dead.
But a soul without a body envelope is destined to evaporate. It is necessary to reach the transcendent rank to keep a spiritual form like Zakiel.
And since the primordial cannot bring their memories with them, they leave them in their old bodies, more precisely in their brains. But everything is fine; their bodies and cells are intact, so they should not have problems at this level.
While waiting for his spell to finish its activity, he was thinking deeply about preventing all the eventualities that could lead to failure.
But after a short time, the spheres began to turn jet black, and the more time passed, the more they remodeled into tiny smooth, black jet beads.
Arrived at one point, they became as small as greenish seeds the size of a jewel.
Feeling that it was the right time, the two jewels flew toward Sylvia and Linn, levitating above them.
'For the last time, I apologize for what I'm about to do.' He whispers these words in his mind while watching the two pearls sink into both bodies.
-RUMBLE!!! RUMBLE!!!... RUMBLE!!!
As the lightning rumbled as if it announced the world's end, the two pale corpses began to regain color.
Alvine's shadow falters under his feet, accompanied by his immeasurably large aura that exposes itself and permeates both.
At that moment, time stopped in the throne room under the influence of Alvine's excessive energy.
He had a sweaty body, and black blood came out of his eyes, mouth, and ears as he was forced to use a power far exceeding his current rank.
But he didn't care about his suffering. He continues to spend as much energy as he can to help the two souls return to their carnal envelopes.
And little by little, Sylvia's black hair turned silvery white like Sabrina's. But her body slowly begins to turn smoky black, her angelic white wings that have emerged have become jet black, and her halo has also turned to mist black!
Seeing this, a small and sad smile stands on Alvine's lips. 'I was right; She could no longer keep her purifying and holy powers. But it doesn't matter; I expected this result.' He said to himself, focusing on Linn.
The latter also had black skin, darker starry blue hair, and black wings like Sylvia's.
But her three horns curved in crowns widened and pointed upwards. She had red horns like Alvine's unicorn in the middle of his forehead.
While seeing their changes, Alvine's smile grows into a macabre smile.
'Maybe I should stop there; their bodies would no longer support my power if I continue; they risk dying again.' With these last words, his body shrinks to its humanoid size.
Just before the two, supported by his gravitational magic, fell to the ground, the three appeared in one of the royal chambers.
At the same time, Alvine's body also collapses because of exhaustion.
But even if his body had reached its limits, this was not the case for his soul,
In the middle of the crowd, one of the shadow soldiers, with a spear as his main weapon, suddenly had empty eyes.
His blood-red eyes turn to black abyssal.
"Shadow, prepare your troops and go welcome our first guests."
Seeing a low-level soldier give him this order, Sahdow does not even frown; he bows slightly to the shadow soldier,
"I was looking forward to your orders, my lord." Shadow expresses himself with an insane smile.
Seeing Shadow's respectful behavior towards this subordinate, Sabrina understood what was happening.
She stands out from the crowds with questioning eyes.
But seeing the smile and nod of the spearman, Sabrina sighed in relief and could not hide the joy that made her smile cheerfully.
But Alvine did not explain.
He focuses on Shadow, who discussed with Luna.
'Scouts? Probably, given their weak ranks.' He whispers while looking into the sky.
In years of light, a group of ten entities flew to the planet of Alvine.
Shadow and The others had not yet noticed their presence, but Alvine knew these people were not mere scouts.
"Wait." He stops Shadow, who wants to take off.
Shadow was alone with Luna, but the hundreds of thousands of his subordinates were hidden in his shadow, and those under Luna's orders were with her.
"??" Hearing Alvin's orders, Shadow stops and looks at him with questioning eyes.
'My powers are weak, but my enemies will not have to locate me immediately. These people, they remind me of some people. But what are they doing here? Tsk, it's not the time to dig my head.'
With this conclusion, he looks at Heepha and Sabrina. "Come with me."
Without saying a word, he vanished before Shadow and the others and appeared in the night sky with Sabrina and Heepha.
The two who had just appeared in the middle of nowhere did not ask a question, even if they did not know how Alvine had done for the teleported with him.
'Well, did they come as messengers or as enemies? It's time to find out.' Simultaneously, the planet behind him was covered with a transparent dome that made him almost invisible.
And at the same time, the ten humanoid creatures resembling humans, except for their skins, which were blood red, appeared in front of Alvine and his two subordinates.
[...]
'As I thought, they are indeed the subordinates of these bastards who mingle with everything that attracts them. But I had not calculated these people in my plans; it would be painful if they were added to the list of my enemies. Their powers far exceed those of the order.
But if I save enough time and recover at least 80 percent of my power--
Sigh, that's the problem; they know it's the perfect time to bother me. They know very well that this is the right time to come and put obstacles in my way! What vicious creatures!
