My head is spinning. From the fairy transformation to the use of Genesis magic and now being transported by the powerful Dyrad, I am seriously dizzy, wobbly and every equivalent synonym of it. I can tell that Linda's spell is working because it allows Sister Farhana and Elegast to be transported along with me. The powerful Dyrad now take me hostage. She didn't hurt me. No, she didn't. In fact, she pampered me by telling me how delicious my mana is. In a way, I feel like a rabbit being petted by a tiger, which is kind of scary. Not as scary as THE THING or The Devil King, but still scary.
"Tchh! Useless lion. As expected from Beastman" [Alagst]
"Says the one who gets help from a dyrad to do all his work" [Elegast]
"Silence! I have no need to hear from a fallen elf like you, my brother!" [Alagast]
"Alagast! Why are you doing this?" [Farhana]
"Why? Isn't it obvious? Just as that stupid, useless lion wanted a kingdom of all awakened beasts, so do I! I wanted to create a paradise where all elves are like our primordial ancestors! Beautiful! Elegant! Prideful! Powerful! Now we are nothing but a shambles, toyed with by the human kingdom left and right! None of this would have happened if the previous elf-saint policies had been in place!" [Alagst].
"So much yelling... Can you keep it down a bit... My head hurts" [Diana]
"As she said, dear Alagst. She's not as tasty when she's so sick. Poor little girl. I'll help you. Please, drink my nectar." [Dyrad]
"Ooh! It's not poisonous! Thank you so much!" [Diana]
(Why is she getting comfortable there... Doesn't she know she's in danger...) [Farhana]
It's like a farmer fattening up his chicken for dinner. That's the situation I'm in. I better enjoy it while I can. Besides, she's on her way here, so I don't have to worry. I should probably keep it to myself since no one but me knows about it. I'm worried, but if there's anyone who can turn the tide of a battle against the elves and Dyrad, there's no one better than her.
Still. What he said earlier. I can kinda understand why Alagst needs something related to the World Tree for his ambitions, hence, why they risk on attacking our group, but the True Beastmen group, why would they risk raiding us? The more I think about it, the less it makes sense. Are they so drunk on their power that they think they have what it takes to go against us, especially knowing that Nar and Sas are here? Or is it because Nar and Sas are here that they want to show the world how powerful they are by killing them? Honestly, I don't care about them anymore. If I meet them again, I will definitely capture them all! They are a despicable group!
"Sister! I asked you. Come over to our side. With your help and Father's approval, we can strengthen our kingdom and bring it to its rightful glory" [Alagast].
"And that's by imitating those human scum you despise?" [Farhana]
"If they can do it, why can't we? Just as we are an acceptable sacrifice for them, I feel the same way. Those filthy humans, those worthless beasts, those pitiful demons, they're just statistics for a greater good" [Alagast].
"Aah... Your mana when you're like this... Gets me drunk" [Dyrad].
"Really? So he's just like wine to you?" [Diana]
"In a way, yes. Though I was promised the World Tree if I followed him" [Dyrad].
"Somehow, it's just sad" [Diana]
"Silence! What does a little girl like you understand?" [Alagast]
"Not much. But I do understand that you're in the wrong and Sister Farhana or Elegast wouldn't fall for your ambitions" [Diana].
"!!!" [Farhana, Elegast, Alagast]
That much is obvious. I don't want to get into a debate about which species is superior. As Saintess Rumia said, all are equal in the eyes of the goddess, the only measure she takes is how many good deeds we do throughout our lives. Isn't that more than enough?
"Dyrad, just strip her naked and take everything that has to do with the World Tree. You can do whatever you want with her after that" [Alagast].
"That's not nice of you! Treating a lady like me like that! Grandma Farhah, he is really bullying me!" [Diana]
"There, there. I'm sorry for what he did." [Farhah]
"When did you...!" [Dyrad]
"Mother!?" [Farhana, Elegast, Alagast]
And the World Tree Priestess, Grandma Farhah, enters the stage.
