Chapter 582 Operation: Raid!

During the time that Alex has succeeded on his breakthrough, there was a pair who also had succeeded on their ventures too.

Alina and Delia, the two women who had spent the last 5 minutes attacking each other, has finally achieved breakthroughs on their own respective power systems.

Delia was finally able to form the 6th pair of her wings, which allowed her to become a 6th Stage, 6-winged Holy Order Angel.

As for Alina, the dark and menacing presence on her back has finally achieved a material form, with a large and cute-looking tabby cat currently floating behind her. This cat, which exuded an aura comparable to that of a primordial beast, was the catalyst that allowed Alina to become a 6th Stage Dark Magician.

[[ Alina ]]: ...

[[ Delia ]]: ....

Delia’s 6 pair of wings and Alina’s tabby cat both moved slowly as the two women spent the next few seconds staring at each other, with Delia’s wings flapping around like an excited moth, and Alina’s cat rolling around the floor like a playful kitten.

These two objects seemed to have not noticed the hostility present on Alina and Delia’s gazes, which seemed to have actually increased even after they helped each other on their breakthroughs.

[[ Alina ]]: Not bad, tongue woman. How long did it take you to refine my attacks again? Around-

[[ Delia ]]: 3 minutes. Give or take 5 seconds. That’s how long it took for me to refine your weak-ass attacks. How about you, huh?

[[ Alina ]]: Hmph, I only took 2 minutes and 50 seconds to refine your attacks! Ha, if you compare our times, it’s much obvious that I am better than-

[[ Delia ]]: Shut up! My Holy Order Power has a different focus compared to your Dark Magic, so of course my breakthrough will be a few seconds slower... Hmph, don’t expect that you’ve gotten the better of me just because you have shorter time!

[[ Alina ]]: Tsk, and here I thought you’re becoming less irritating to me. Turns out you’re still as petty as before.

[[ Delia ]]: What did you say? Do you wanna fight again?

[[ Alina ]]: Fight? Hmph, if it’s a fight that you want, then I will give you a fight!

[[ Delia ]]: Bring it on then!

"Boom boom boom!"

With a signal from the two women, Delia’s wings and Alina’s cat both straightened up as they assumed attacking poses.

Delia’s wings started to glow with the power of the virtues, while Alina’s cat began to exude the mysterious and ephemeral dark matter from its body.

The release of these respective powers brought forth another series of pressures inside the area, bringing in more damage to the ground which had already been wrecked by the fight between the two women earlier.

Seconds passed by and the pressure continued to increase as none of the two women were willing to back down from the other. They kept on staring angrily, with their newly-broken through powers seemingly raring to be used already.

[[ Alina ]]: The only reason that you were able to refine my Dark Magic earlier was because it is still at the Fifth Stage. But now that I have become a Sixth Stage Dark Magician, your weak Holy Order Power will not be able to tank my attack anymore! Hmph, even if you are the Holy Order Envoy, there’s no way that you can resist this!

[[ Delia ]]: Hmph! You think your Dark Magic now is enough to hurt me? Go on, and try it then, b***h!

[[ Alina ]]: Oh, oh, oh... You did not just call me a b***h, you little sl*t.

[[ Delia ]]: Hah? Did you just call me a sl*t? Tsk, where did you learn that word, Miss Alina? Don’t tell me that’s what Alex calls you every time you service him? Are you his little sl*t?

[[ Alina ]]: You! How dare you call me that!

[[ Delia ]]: Ho ho ho, why are you looking that angry? Shouldn’t you be a happy?

[[ Alina ]]: Oh, the only way that I can be happy is when I finally smash your head into the pavement. So why don’t you just stay still while I knock some sense into that empty head of yours?

With the curses between Alina and Delia already escalating into the forbidden area, the two women were finally unable to take any insults anymore.

[[ Delia ]]: Go on, come near me then, Alina. Let’s see if your slut*ness can boost your power!

[[ Alina ]]: Argh! Now you’ve done it! Prepare to get punished!

Without any care for their surroundings, the two women quickly flew towards each other, with their eyes showing their intent to fight once more. Delia’s wings and Alina’s cat made this more obvious as even they were also oozing with murderous intent.

But before the two women could resume their clash, someone who was not involved in their fight at all suddenly swooped between the two.

This person was of course Alex, who seem to be happy as he placed himself between Alina and Delia.

[[ Alex ]]: Heya ladies. Congratulations for your breakthrough. Now that makes the power of our group much higher! With this kind of achievement, shouldn’t we celebrate it by raiding another continent? What do you think?

[[ Alina ]]: What?

[[ Delia ]]: What?

When Alex has appeared, Delia and Alina both thought that they will ignore him first, as the fight between them was more important right now.

But the words that Alex just said made the two women almost fall down the ground, making them instantly lose interest on their fight.

[[ Alex ]]: Hm? What’s the problem? Why do you look so surprised? Is there anything wrong with what I said?

[[ Alina ]]: ...Alex, you just said that you want to raid a continent. You... you must be joking, right?

[[ Alex ]]: Joking? No, I am not joking! Who told that-

[[ Delia ]]: You’re not joking? You... you’re really serious on raiding another continent?

[[ Alex ]]: Of course I’m serious. Isn’t that the reason why we created an alliance with all the newly arrived Rookie Travelers? With their power combined with ours, we can easily raid other continents, which will increase our overall power!

[[ Alina ]]: ...

[[ Delia ]]: ...

With this explanation by Alex, Delia and Alina finally lost any desire to fight anymore. Both of them just landed on the ground as they stared at Alex with uncomprehending looks on their faces, as if they were both at loss about his words.

[[ Alina ]]: Alex.... When you suggested to create the ’alliance’ with the other Rookie Travelers, you did not mention anything about raiding other continents to them. Heck you did not even tell that to us! Because of that, I assumed that you have a different plan about this alliance. But now you’re telling me that you want to use the alliance to raid a continent? This... this is confusing!

[[ Delia ]]: I hate to admit this, but this slu- Alina is right. Alex, what you’re saying here is off-the-script. You should have told this to us before, and not just today! By telling this to us right now, you’re just making the situation appear more confusing. Why would you want to raid other continents at this time? Decisions like this should be made through careful deliberation and not because you just wanted it!

[[ Alina ]]: Exactly. Just like what the bitc- Delia said, this decision of yours is hasty Alex. I think you should talk first to all the people involved in the alliance before making a move....

[[ Delia ]]: Alex, if you handle this situation badly, then it will backfire on us greatly. So don’t just f***king make a move this quickly! Remember, I am also a leader of this alliance too, so my word must also be heard!

With the seemingly irresponsible words of Alex, Delia and Alina obviously were quick to point out all the fallacies of his words. They did not hold back their logic as they tried to explain to Alex what was wrong with his actions, something that Alex has allowed to happen.

The rebukes that they uttered at this point were surely enough to make Alex cave in, but to the surprise of the two women, Alex only smiled as he listened.

This smile was still there once the two women had stopped talking, making it obvious that Alex was not deterred by any of their words.

And this was shown further by the next words that Alex said.

[[ Alex ]]: I know, I know. I get why you two are worried, okay? But don’t be this pessimistic. A lot has happened while you two were busy fighting, and these events has brought the whole situation of the Traveler’s World into our favor....

[[ Alina ]]: ??? Something has happened earlier that made the situation favorable for us? What are you talking about?

[[ Delia ]]: Hmph, favor? And what exactly has happened, Alex?

The way that Alex said his latest words was enough to show how pleased he is. With this kind of look, Alina and Delia were of course curious on how he could be this happy, hence their questions.

But before Alex could answer them, two small, high-pitched voices interrupted him.

[[Immortal Empress]]: Junior Brother! These two women are cute! Are they your lovers? How romantic!

[[Arcane Sorceress]]: Huhuhu, my candy.... Huhuhu...

[[ Alex ]]: H-hey! Cut it out you two! Didn’t I say that you should stay quiet? Why are you interrupting me now?

[[Immortal Empress]]: Big Sises, can you give me candy too? You have candy, right?

[[Arcane Sorceress]]: Waah! Give me candy too!!

The ones who interrupted Alex was no other than the Immortal Empress and the Arcane Sorceress, who were still both stuck in their child form.

Their cute faces which were enough to charm anyone were in full display at this point, although these looks did not charm or even entice Delia and Alina.

Instead, the two women only stared at them angrily, as if their existence was an unpleasant surprise for the two women.

[[ Alina ]]: Alex, who the hell are these two kids? Why are they with you? And why are they acting familiar with you, huh?

[[ Delia ]]: Oh my, don’t tell me you’ve had an illicit affair while we’re busy, Alex? Tsk, tsk, tsk, how disappointing...

[[ Alex ]]: Hey! Don’t think of it like that! These two kids... are the reason why I want to raid another continent, ok? So don’t treat these kids with suspicion.

[[ Delia ]]: ???

[[ Alina ]]: ???

[[ Alex ]]: Treat these kids with care, for their presence will be vital for us raiding a continent. So stop looking like they’re leeches, Alina! You’re just scaring them!
