Blake felt a chill run down his spine when he heard Grace's crazy talk. He really did not want to get involved with crazy people. But her words also made him frown quite a bit. "Listen, lady, I have no idea who you are, but I will say this now. This world does not belong to just humans. It never has. The history you knew about this planet was not the true history of this world.
"So I will say this once more. Leave this place and go back to where you came from. I already took all your slaves from you. You do not have enough strength now to even invade the Beastkin clan." Blake's statement caused Grace to snap out of her crazed state as she remembered that her Tobie had been taken from her.
Grace looked up at Blake with narrowed eyes as she said: "You think we are weak just because we do not have the slaves? The slaves were nothing but meat shields for our true forces. I alone can wipe out these dirty demi humans!"
Blake could see that this woman was what he would call a human supremacist. She was someone who thought only humans were great. If she knew the things that he did, would she still think like this in the days ahead?
A crackling sound was heard as the clouds overhead began to grow dark, and lightning streaked across the sky. Grace's hair fluttered in the wind that was suddenly generated as she raised her hand towards the sky. "Since you are also a demi human now, Blake Harris. I can only give you salvation by killing you here and now."
"I do not see what you get out of trying to kill me, but I guess in your current state of mind, you are unable to think straight. But before we fight, tell me…. What is your name?" Blake did not even know the girl's name, so he could not think of anyone who would recognize him even now.
"Grace Townson…." Grace replied as a tear rolled down her cheek. The one man she loved for so long was now a demi human. How he came to be like this, she did not know nor did she care. She could only bring him salvation. Her mind had long been twisted over the years. With how everyone called her Your Holiness, she had begun to think she was some kind of goddess of the human race. This was why she was able to wield magic the way she was. She was someone who was supposed to bring the human race back to being at the top of the food chain.
"Hmmm?" Blake finally understood why this girl recognized him. It was this same woman who had caused all of his grief before the apocalypse. She was the reason Dylan had made his life a living hell. All because she liked him. He could not fault her for that, nor did he resent her at all, but he did not like the fact that she wanted to kill him because he was a drakani now. "I see… Well then, Grace, I hate to say it, but while your power is good for a first stage evolution, it is not enough. I will say it once more, go back to from whence you came."
Blake did not want to fight. He would prefer if the humans would just return. This was why he snapped his fingers loudly, causing a burst of wind to spread out in all directions causing the clouds above to dissipate instantly. The magic Grace prided herself on was canceled out with a snap of Blake's fingers.
"Wha!? How!? My power is omnipotent!" Grace cried out. She went to wave her hand once more to cast the spell over, but it was once more canceled out with a snap of Blake's fingers.
"I hate to tell you, Grace, but your magic is no good here. No matter how many times you cast it, only a snap of my fingers is needed to make it disappear. So go back. Do not make me use force." Blake's words this time were very cold as he let out his aura. Weighing it down on all the humans present.
Everyone affected by it was now kneeling on the ground. Even Grace, as she bit her bottom lip, was forced to her knees. Blake was showing them his power. That they could not win even if they tried. Through gritted teeth, Grace had to admit that she was not Blake's match. Not yet, anyway. She could tell from his display of power that he was truly much more powerful than her and her army combined.
"You…. You will let us leave this place? We may come back and attack later on." Grace shouted. She now had to think of her humankind. She could not allow them to be wiped out here if Blake decided to actually attack them.
"As long as you turn around now and go back from whence you came, I will not do anything to you all. But Grace, I suggest you think about how you treat the other races. Slavery is not what you should be striving for. You should first think about how you can live in harmony with the other races. After all, my Destiny City was only just recently built, but now it is one of the biggest powers on this continent. Maybe even the world. Human supremacy is not the answer." Blake hoped his words would get through to this woman.
"Heh…. Harmony!? Harmony!? You want humans to just let these invaders go!? They destroyed our world and killed billions of our population! But you want us to let it go and live in harmony with these disgusting beasts!? It is already good enough that we are allowing them to work for us as slaves, never mind being equal to us!" Grace felt Blake's words were laughable. But then again, he was also a demi human now. "Heh… We will retreat for the time being. It seems we truly do not have the strength yet, but let me warn you, Blake. One day I will set you free and allow you to be reborn."
Blake sighed as he shook his head. He would need to slowly try to make this woman see reason. Even if she did grow in strength, the current way she is going about things is not correct. He could give her help but not with her current mentality. He would be stupid to help out his future enemy.
