Chapter 634 - 633 – Extermination – Part 2.

"A game will be like this." – said Phantasia.

"The question will be asked and you just have to answer."

"Depending whenever or not you had lied or don't want to answer, we will be killing the people over there."

"Each time you screw up? We will be increasing the count of people getting killed by plus 1."

"Meaning, lie once? 1 dead. Lie twice? 2 will die."

"Get it?"

"And if we run out of people… Well, we will start disassembling you."

"Understand?"

"…"

(How… How am I in this kind of position?) – thought princess Assinia as her expression straight up told everything.

Despair.

(I was… Meant to become something great….)

"…"

"Hey. Answer me?" – said Phantasia as he grabbed the princess by her hair.

"Do you understand?"

"…"

"…If I… Answer you… Will you spare me and my people?" - asked princess Assinia.

"Hm… Depends on your answers." – replied Phantasia.

"Anyway, ready?"

"Before… That… Anwer me. Why? Why did you attacked us!?" – asked princess Assinia in desperation.

"…"

"I've told you before. Your mother declared war on the organization." – said Phantasia.

"Not only that, but we know that your clan is working for nature and light dragon clans."

"They are also the ones that gave you that power of necromancy, weren't they."

"?!"

"What?!" – said shocked ice dragonewt as the crowd of people were dumbfounded upon hearing this.

"…Huh. I guess they didn't really knew that." – said Phantasia as the princess was nervously sweating after being exposed.

"Anyway, now you people know even why we want you more dead."

"Since the nature and light dragon clans declared war on the organization as well as our dragon allies."

"But I think that there were SOME necro ice dragons who are still alive, that were aware of this truth." – said Phantasia as the ice dragons stared at the necro ice dragons, who found themselves in dangerous predicament, as some of the ice dragons started throwing blames at them.

"So, now my question." – said Phantasia.

"Why did they recruited your clan?"

"…"

"They… Contacted us." – said Assinia.

"They wanted a meeting. With us."

"Or more exactly, with mother."

"She had a private meeting with them… And then sometime later, they brough something."

"The flesh?" – asked Phantasia.

"…Yes… It was it." – replied the princess.

"The mother, me and the other high-ranking dragons gathered and heard about the deal."

"She said that with that flesh we would evolve."

"But we didn't trusted her. Even I. We were truly skeptical about this."

"However, once she shown one of ours undergoing it. We saw it."

"Evolution."

"There was no side effects or anything."

"The only thing that this thing gave us was evolution into dragons that could wield two attributes."

"Then another and another one."

"We all saw it and confirmed it."

"The evolution was real."

"The dragon race has yet to reach its final poetical!"

"And she said it wasn't all."

"She said that these guys had something even greater!"

"…And what was it?" – asked Phantasia.

"…We don't know." – replied princess as Phantasia was slowly raising his hand.

"!"

"SEAL! SHE SIGNED SOME BOUNDING CONTRACT THAT SEALED HER FROM HAVING ABILITY FROM EXPOSING EVERTYHING! EVEN FROM US!" – shouted princess in panic.

"…"

"I see." – said Phantasia.

(Still, the fact that she didn't denied the whole "recruitment"….) – thought Phantasia.

"Okay then." – said Phantasia.

"Next question,"

"The arcane dragon clan."

"What happened to it?"

"Why were these guys in this state?"

"And by any chance, yours and other clans truly behind everybody's backs had truly betrayed one of your own?"

"W-what? No… I honestly don't know." – replied panicking princess.

"We, fire, wind, earth and light dragon clans went to confirm what happened to the arcane dragon tribe… And we confirmed that they had been exterminated."

"You say that… But how do I know that you didn't took part in it?"

"Since those arcane berserker dragons were sent by the traitor dragon clans to exterminate your clan."

"?!"

"WHAT?!" – shouted the princess.

(They… They were the ones to sent them?! But how!? No! That shouldn't be possible!) – thought panicking princess who couldn't believe what she just heard.

"…"

(Based on her expression, I can tell she is clueless.) – thought Phantasia.

(Still, fact remains that the traitor dragons unleashed a berserk savage arcane dragons here… So, the possibility of them helping out in their extermination is still extremely high.)

"Next question." – said Phantasia.

"What were your orders from these traitors?"

"…"

"Transform, evolve and wait." – said princess.

"That was it."

"Our orders were to evolve our entire clan with the usage of the flesh while at the same time not making any public appearance."

"For what?" – asked Phantasia

"…"

"I don't know. The contract forbit queen from talking." – replied princess.

"…"

(I mean, this is no brainer.) – thought Phantasia.

(War.)

"What about other clans? Were they recruited too?" – asked Phantasia.

"I don't know." – replied princess.

"Did you had contact with any of the other world invaders?" – asked Phantasia.

"No." – replied princess.

"…"

"How exactly did you evolved with the power of that flesh?" – asked Phantasia.

"…"

"…"

"Rebirth Chamber." – said the princess.

"That chambers is directly linked to that flesh."

"A special liquid is produced by that flesh, that when absorbed, it will cause the creature inside of the chamber to evolve."

"Are there truly no side effects?" – asked Phantasia.

"The only side effect is exhaustion by evolution, since it was forced. But that would go away naturally." – replied princess.

"There was truly no side effects."

"…"

(Makes sense.) – thought Phantasia.

(If there was some, like for example limited lifespan, they wouldn't bother deploying the berserkers.)

(Still… That thing that Thanatos told me about… These guys were definitely aiming for the flesh.)

(I guess they cannot remotely destroy it.)

<<I've continued asking several different questions from then, looking for anything that was weirdly odd or had caught my attention… But it seems they were truly kept in dark about many things.>>

<<However, the princess and the queen weren't the only ones that knew about the flesh. If anything, a lot of people knew about it.>>

<<As for why the first princess didn't knew? Well, her own mother didn't trusted her to keep her mouth shut or that she may end up doing something stupid… I guess she was right, since her stupid daughter straight up caused a civil war as soon as the queen was gone.>>

<<Still, there is also the fact that the queen was "FREE" meant that she wasn't forced to take the deal.>>

<<If anything, SHE WANTED it.>>

<<However, there was something that I needed to ask at the end.>>

"How did you people knew about divinity?" – asked Phantasia.

"You people knew about them, which is why I've ended up encountering your queen and how she declared war on the organization."

"How?"

"…"

"She said that she was told to keep in place and just don't touch them." – replied princess.

"She was given a direct order to just stay quiet."

"We weren't told much about the divinities of the elder gods… But we knew what kind of beings the elder gods were."

"Not only that, but obtaining one attribute was enough to evolve us into a higher beings."

"What if we were to obtain the power of the elder gods too? The power of divinity that didn't bare the corruption of heaven or hell?"

"Our clan could possibly become the strongest dragon there was! We wouldn't even need to be subordinates of these two bastards!"

"WE COULD BECOME HIGHER BEINGS!"

"…"

"And yet, because of that greed, now your clan is pretty much destroyed, because you messed up both your allies and organization at the same time." – said Phantasia as it instantly shut up the princess.

"…"

"Well then, this is over. I don't have any more questions." – said Phantasia.

"For now, you will live."

"!"

"You mean it?!" – asked surprised princess.

"I've said for now." – said Phantasia.

"You still need to be questioned by somebody else and your clan created so big of a mess that we cannot really just let you go and be free."

"If anything, did you forgotten? You didn't just made us into your enemy, but also your former allies."

"The moment we will let you go, you all would just get hunted down."

"So don't you dare to complain and sit tightly."

"But if you will try to pull any tricks. All of the people here will get exterminated, understood?"

"…"

"Yes." – replied the princess with defeated look as moment later Phantasia alongside Maparapara walked away.

"…"

"I don't see any point in keeping them alive." – said Maparapara.

"Wouldn't it be just better to kill them?"

"Nah. Handing them over to 'Kid' will be smarter choice."

"The blood of the dragons is apparently a rich and potent food for vampires."

"Huh?! You mean you want to power them up?! Didn't you said that-"

"I know what I've said, but the trust 'Kid' in us have got somewhat damaged, since of our little hunting for divinities we did in secret."

"So it would be good if it got somewhat restored."

"Not only that, he will also need to present 'SOME' of these people as proof."

"Once we hand them over to the 'Kid', we will start our construction."

"But first thing first."

"Let's see for ourselves, what in the bloody hell is that flesh."
