Chapter 1849: No one will know if there is no one to tell.
"Huh? Where did she go!?"
The enemy leader shouted, panic surging in him since he couldn't find Aeliana and those mercenary women.
He quickly expanded his senses, ready to look through every single corner of the world. However, his expression froze when he found the woman much earlier than he expected.
"You could have lived longer if you hadn't targeted those women."
He heard a voice. The leader quickly turned around, widening his eyes in horror. In an instant, he activated all his defensive abilities, protecting his head and energy core, and then,
Slash
The woman cut off his arm, the arm that was holding the Relic he was so proud of.
"AAAaaagaaAAGgggghhh!!!"
The leader screamed in pain. Aeliana kicked him away without mercy.
It was only then that the rest of the Primordials were able to react and rush toward her.
All of them were confused as to how that woman appeared next to their leader or where the rest of the mercenaries suddenly disappeared to. They, however, didn't have the time to think about it.
Killing this monster was the priority.
Aeliana, on the other hand, turned into mist again and reappeared next to where the leader's arm had fallen, ready to store the Relic in her storage ring.
Soon, however, a frown appeared on her face, and then Nux informed her.
'The Relics are connected to their holders. Unless the holder is killed, they cannot be used by anyone else or even be stored in a storage dimension without the holder's permission.'
'Hmm? You are still here?'
Aeliana tilted her head in confusion.
'I entered a soldier's shadow when you slowed time.'
'What about that Dreadborn?'
'Still with me.'
'How did you even…'
In the end, Aeliana decided it was better not to question this man.
Yes, even she was now gaining Nux immunity.
"Those portals! Rush into those portals!"
Suddenly, the leader of the Primordials screamed in rage. He extended his hand, and the Relic under her moved on its own, returning to its owner.
'It even has that feature, huh.'
Aeliana noted.
'Most Relics do. Think of them as weapons with their own consciousness.'
The Vampire nodded, and as their calm conversation continued, one of the Primordials, who was closest to the portal, jumped in. As if waiting for it, the portal closed the next instant. The rest of the portals followed, leaving no way for the man to return.
Aeliana stared at the leader who had given the order and tilted her head in confusion.
"So you sent one of your soldiers to the enemy's base alone…? That's an interesting decision. What was the thought process behind such a decision?"
Aeliana questioned with a curious look on her face. The leader, on the other hand, just stared at her, taken aback.
"Base…?"
"Yeah? Where else did you think I sent them to?"
Aeliana tilted her head.
"They were mercenaries…" Continue reading on My Virtual Library Empire
"You still think us to be mercenaries? I thought my performance proved otherwise.
I still have a lot to learn, huh…"
Aeliana noted.
She would learn and continue to improve so she doesn't get mistaken as a mercenary in the future.
"You! Who are you people!?"
The leader questioned, his eyes glaring at Aeliana in rage.
These women! They ruined everything!
They were simply sent here to ensure Tandris didn't lose! His eyes then fell on that General, and it didn't take him long to realize how her presence affected the entire battlefield and how useful of a resource she was.
He was certain that if he gave her to the Faction, they would be rewarded.
Who knows? They might even get more than a few relics for such an important war resource, especially right now, when the flames of war had engulfed quite a major part of the Universe, and it didn't seem like the situation would calm down anytime soon.
Once he confirmed that the woman had no backing and was only a normal mercenary, he decided to make a move.
At first, he decided to ask the Tandris leader to bring her to their side. She was a mercenary; enticing her with a few rewards should be more than enough for her to even sell herself.
But for some odd reason, that fool didn't return.
The Velcria leaders saw this as an opportunity and made an appearance, wanting to end the war, and he couldn't let it happen.
He was sent here for one mission, and he couldn't fail. Those bastards back in his own world would definitely use this as an opportunity to get back at him.
Not to mention the Tandris leaders wouldn't let this go either. If they are going to die, those leeches would do everything in their power to ensure he and his world died with them.
In the end, he made a decision.
Yes, it was risky since they were going against the rules, but it would have been fine if they killed everyone here. This was a small corner of the Universe with just two lower-level worlds going at each other.
Honestly, in the bigger picture, these people didn't even matter. No one would miss them, neither would anyone report or care about their disappearance.
His plan was perfect.
He just needed to capture the mercenary, and everything would be perfectly fine, but then,
This monster appeared.
Apparently, the mercenaries had some connections.
It wasn't a big deal. She was just a single Primordial.
'How strong could she possibly be?'
That was his thought when he first saw her.
But now…
Four of his sixteen loyal subordinates had died. One had apparently entered the enemy's base, and this woman…
She stood in front of him with that repulsive smirk on her face.
The leader could now see it.
She was no ordinary Primordial.
They were no match for her.
'She is at least as strong as him.'
The leader thought inwardly, recalling the Primordial from a high-level world who once visited their world and managed to defeat 20 Primordials on his own without breaking a sweat.
That confirmed it.
This woman…
She was at least from a high-level world, but the question still remained.
"If you are not mercenaries, why did you come here!? Do you plan to interrupt the Faction War? Do you think you would be able to handle the consequences once our Faction finds out about it!?"
The man screamed. Aeliana, however, just tilted her head and chuckled.
"Well…
No one will know if there is no one to tell, was it?"
The Vampire's smile widened, resembling a demon.
