Chapter 51 - The War Inside the Torture Chamber (4)

I can see it! I see it! Dae-ha! Can you hear my voice, Dae-ha? No, putting that aside, are you alright?

'I'm okay. No, to be exact, I'm not okay, but it's not to the point where I'd die. Where are you, Ares?'

How did she hear that?

'No.'

'It's not my mind that she read. It's Ares'.'

This shitty.

What the hell, Dae-ha. Why are you with a Legion?

'Beats me. They locked us up together.'

'Can you talk without making a sound?'

'Mmmhmm. You.'

 'Mmmhmm. You. I like you.' 

'What do you like about me?'

'I just like you.'

'...?'

'I see. There's not a single artificial intelligence nearby because of her.'

'But why was I locked up here? No way.'

'Hey, you. Can I ask you something?' 

'Mmmhmm.'

'...You're weirdly amenable.'

'Feels good.'

'...I don't know what you're on about. But, are you on the same side with the demi-humans?' 

'Nope, I'm not.'

'Then is there any possibility of you being on the same side as them?'

'Do you want me to be on the same side with the demi-humans?'

'No, that'd be a problem.'

'Then I won't do it.'

'…?'

'By the way, is Albatross nearby, Ares?'

No. The Albatross ship is still amongst the lightning clouds. This carrier is a little far away in the atmosphere. But I don't think the demi-humans have any intention of leaving here. The repairs of Astral Drive is slowly coming to an end, and as soon as we break the encirclement, we can immediately make a getaway. When Albatross escapes from here, the Union will hear of the fact that the demi-humans are employing the help of Legion. These demi-humans will be biting the bullet soon.

'But once the battleship accelerates, it would never get caught up. The pursuers would have to also go through the accelerating process to speed up. So, if they didn't have an engine with overwhelming performance, the pursuers wouldn't be able to catch up to their targets that departed first.' 

'Hmmm, then... Are they preparing for a rescue mission?'

They're prepared, but they still can't bring themselves to carry it out. Everyone's anxious because of the Imperial Princess rather than you. And most of all... The Saint's betrayal had everyone drowning in confusion. Why the hell did he hand over the Imperial Princess to the demi-humans?

'What the, you. How did you know he sold us out? Did you speculate it after seeing me being held captive here?'

Of course not. Those demi-human bastards started threatening to hurt and kill her if we didn't reveal ourselves. We obviously didn't believe their words, so we didn't show ourselves, but internally, our opinions are divided. 

'They probably tried giving it a shot.'

I see… but I can't believe he took advantage of a loophole in his mission that way. It seems that Cheong Won dude must be particularly strong even among the Saints. 

'Other Saints can't do that?'

Haha. If the Saints could distort their missions recklessly like that, there would be no room for Noblesse to stand. The missions are a strong restriction, but at the same time, it is also the reason why the Saints are given the power they possess. It's a rule that the Saints must absolutely adhere to.

'But still... Thank you.'

What, what are you talking about, you idiot. Stop spouting nonsense and just connect your brainwaves with me. You have to save yourself!

Connect with me. Use the Brainwave Control and control all the Gigas around you. There's no way these guys here will do anything. You have to save your own ass.

'But... Is that even possible?'

What kind of stupid thing are you saying? Of course it's impossible. In the first place, the distance between us is close to hundreds of thousands of kilometers apart, so do you think it's even possible to synchronize your brainwaves with me? Above all, it's futile to activate the King of All Armaments from that distance.

'...'

That's if we're talking about other people.

'That means... If it's me, it's possible?'

That's right. So say it. Order me. Though this is something that's absolutely impossible and unimaginable.

If you order me... I think I might be able to do it.
