Only a few minutes had passed, and the battle was already over. The two Envoys were standing on the ground, bleeding from their nose, mouth and eyes.
They hadn't even managed to touch the little girl yet they were the ones who were seriously hurt. This was something they never would've believed if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes.
What was even more strange was that the little girl didn't kill them, despite having multiple opportunities. It was as if she didn't care whether they lived or died, like they were just some ants before her who she was too lazy to crush.
Ten minutes with the Bloody Sword still weren't over, yet the two Envoys already understood the difference between them and the little girl.
Both of them sent their swords back. There was no use keeping it out any longer since they had already lost their life span and still couldn't do anything.
"May I ask who Your Highness is? And why were you trying to help people awaken the Forbidden Army?" Litvia asked, wiping the blood with the back of her hand. "After our battle, I'm sure you aren't from this place. Then why do you want to get involved?"
"The Forbidden Army?" The little girl asked, as her eyes shone in amazement. "You mean the army of the Death Star?"
"Death Star?" Gabriel smiled wryly. Even though he was standing in the distance, he could still hear their conversation.
"That was the name given to Karyk by them," Alion explained.
"Did you also have a name like that?" Gabriel asked, slightly intrigued. Death Star wasn't a bad name after all.
Back in the castle, Alion scratched the back of his head, as if slightly embarrassed. "Cough, you don't need to know that."
However, his embarrassment disappeared as he thought of the name of the little girl, which was even worse than his. "Though I can tell you the nickname of that little girl before you,"
"I'm listening," Gabriel responded. "She's quite strong so her name should be nice as well."
"She was called Crazy Loli," Alion answered.
Even though Gabriel couldn't see the face of Alion through their conversation, he could feel that Alion was trying really hard to control his laughter. The name was certainly strange.
"Who decided on these bizarre names?" Gabriel asked, wondering just who was capable of giving this girl a name like that and still surviving.
"There was no system of officially naming gods and demigods. However, there were times when gods and Demigods came up with nicknames for others on their own. When these names spread enough, everyone started calling them these names more than their real names," Alion explained vaguely.
"As for that little girl's name, this name was given to her by me," he further added. "I thought I was anonymous when spreading her name to mess with her. Who knew that crazy loli would find my real identity. Ever since then, she's been chasing after me to kill me for that name."
Hearing the response, Gabriel felt slightly awkward. His impression of Alion changed by a lot instantly. He previously thought Alion was a serious Demigod, somewhat like Karyk. However, it was clear that Alion was more mischievous than he thought.
"So she was here for you," Gabriel muttered. "That's good. It would've been a hassle if she was after the Palace and the Army too."
"That's right. With the opening of the Castle, the aura protection around this place became quite weak. When I was fighting, I think she sensed my aura thanks to that, and found out where I was. I didn't expect her to still be looking for me after all these heard." Alion said, getting somewhat serious. "This girl really knows how to hold a grudge."
"However, this is also an opportunity for you!"
"Opportunity?" Gabriel asked, observing the proud little girl in the distance who was talking with the two Envoys.
"This girl is crazy and her presence in this place is a big headache for you. However, if you can use her well, and get her support, we might have a decent backing in the future." Alion explained while he kept applying some of his energy to the sphere in front of him. "With her around, you should be able to delay the other side for a month at least."
"Death Star's army is in this place?" The little girl asked the two Envoys. It was only now that she sensed her surroundings properly and sensed that there was indeed some present of the aura of death.
Previously, she was so distracted by Alion that she didn't even notice that.
"You didn't know that? You weren't here to help that man in freeing the army?" Litvia asked, finally realizing that something was wrong.
"Why would I help him?" The little girl asked in return. "I was here to capture him and take him away. I didn't know he was hiding in this prison. If I had known, I would've come here sooner."
The two Envoys finally realized that they were fooled by Alion! The little girl before them was so strong that she had no reason to lie to them after all.
The envoys started explaining everything that happened since their arrival and how a misunderstanding was created by Alion.
At the same time, Gabriel was also wondering about something. "What did she mean by hiding in Prison?"
Despite Gabriel's question, he didn't receive a response.
The silence made Gabriel feel even more curious. It was clear that Alion was trying to hide something.
Gabriel didn't request again. He had a better way now to convince Alion after all. "Fine. Don't tell me. Let me go to that little girl and tell her where you are. Don't blame me for what happens next."
"You!" Alion felt like choking. "Stop! Don't tell her where I am! I'll tell you!"
"That's much better. So what's this about?"
After a period of silence, Alion sighed. "You went to that tomb recently, right? What do you think that place was?"
"It was the prison created by Alion for the Goddess of Nature. What about that?" Gabriel asked. "Don't tell me the little girl was talking about that prison. You were hiding in the tomb?"
"Wrong. She wasn't talking about that prison. The tomb that you saw wasn't the only prison... There was an even bigger prison that you don't know about."
"What's that?"
"Where you stand currently... And as far as your eyes can see! As far as you can travel, as far as you can go, it's all a prison. This entire World that you think is the starting and the end of life, is just a prison created by Karyk himself," Alion said in full seriousness. "That's why even Gods are scared to descend here…"
