Chapter 93 Option of taking a life

"Core asks whether if it was really okay leaving by Velena to Era."

"That's the other way around, it is Era that was left to Velena."

I laughed at Core while at the same time I was getting used to my new eyes. While on the surface they remained the same that cannot be said to the inside.

I can clearly see what is in front of me and so far there isn't any problem in my eyes other than that I could somehow see them on a third view everything they are doing.

In the back of my mind I can currently see an ogre devouring everything on its sight, he hadn't stopped in doing that other than sleeping or resting for a bit. He would go hunt a powerful entity, fight against them and then eat them if killed, and then go to find another entity to eat. And I'm not talking about monsters like goblins or werewolves but entities that could easily destroy a nation like dragons or even lesser gods.

I noted to myself that this one is currently too powerful for any of us, not even Era can defeat it, she might be able to wound him by sacrificing herself but he would heal its body in no time. I saw how that ogre fought and he isn't the type to care about its own body until either him or its enemy die.

As for the two others, I couldn't obtain any useful information about their powers. It was not because they didn't attempted to use them but seemed that their powers were weakened to the point that only a fraction could be used. I deduct that since it is like that, they do not need to use them.

Of the two, the succubus one was the most dangerous for the time being, it is not because she is powerful as the ogre but is accompanied by entities that could raze a town in a matter of seconds and because she is located in this world. Located in the Northen section of human territory, they have been walking towards the land of fairies. No drone was able to get near before it would be destroyed by her party so the only way to monitor her is by me.

While the last one was the most peculiar one. Because he is currently being sheltered by a dwarf and so far didn't any sign of wielding an 'End'. Other than staying with the dwarf the child didn't do anything other than helping the dwarf in daily matters such as cleaning the house or cooking.

Because I told this to Velena she became serious and went out to find another dungeon to level up and sharpen her skills and with that I left Era to her.

"Core states that Velena is really happy in taking care of Era despite not showing it."

"I know that, I'm her wife after all. But what about the others? When will they return?"

"Core says that depends on the difficulty of the dungeon and on themselves. Core reassures that if they end up dying their death will be reported to us by an item given by this very Core."

"There's something like that?" I asked amazed instead of being worried with the prospect of them dying since they know how to flee when needed.

"Core proudly declares that she herself came up with that idea and went to create them."

"You also recreated Velena's weapon..."

"Core changes subject and asks what will you do for the matters of 'End'."

"Wait." I said calmly.

"Core asks wait?"

"Yes, the two here will be staying for a long time.And if they cause trouble? Even better, they will have to face the warriors Intris has to offer and when weakened enough we will then strike them if they are not already dead. So we need to get stronger and might fight them but that might happen in the future."

"Core asks that aren't they weakened already?"

"One of the golem appraised them right? Two lesser gods, a divine fairy, three high elves, the succubus and then there are others that she wasn't able to appraise. They are beings born already powerful or evolved from a weak one and become what they are now, either way just their racial characteristics make them dangerous and not even once they separated from that succubus. So the better way to handle them is by attacking them after they are extremely weakened by others.While for the other you just need to monitor him for the time being."

"Core ponders that then using our authority in the underworld we should make others attack them."

"That's right, provoke them in attacking others and create a conflict between two sides. If they are weakened enough for us to kill them then we will strike but if not we will continue on encouraging others to attack them."

"Core then asks why in being so passive or maybe even a bit disinterested."

Core asked again and I responded without hesitation.

"Because despite some otherworldly being gave me these eyes and the mission to hunt them, the threats they speak of might not even reach us or even be taken of by another third party. While it can give us a reason to become more powerful there's no way that will happen soon or quick enough for us to not find a solution to deal with them without casualties on our side."

Expecting a response I soon became impatient with Core being silent but before I could ask what happened to her she opened her mouth.

"Core cries as she didn't expect to Deva to care so much about us to the point of being branded as the scummiest of all." Core sobbed but there wasn't any tears but a mocking smile.

"I'm not! We are just using the brain to deal with them, that might be cold but the better way to deal with someone is by the hands of others. No one will seek you for revenge or hate you."

As I said that, in a corner of mind I saw something gushing out from the child body. I watched as something similar to my aura coated the child's body, ominous and black it corroded and corrupted a small piece of wood and it spread to the floor but stopped in its tracks moments later as if it run out of fuel.

As I wasn't the only one on observing him, Core nodded her head.

"Core says that it is corrosion and then corruption. It first corrode and then corrupts and the corrupted object or being inherits its effects.While still weak to the point of affecting for a brief moment small objects it will soon get stronger. Core advices to take care of the child as soon as possible."

Core suggested something that some might find cold and cruel and it was but also the best way to eliminate a threat that might destroy Intris.
