It was indeed quite weird how Acht came to that conclusion since he had no idea about this empire that resided in Ecrasia. He had also never heard of it in the book which also proved even more that this world was very different from the book.
It had some elements that resemble the book, but in general, it was a whole different world.
So, he had already disregarded what he knew about the book and focused on what he had on hand at that exact point and also what he witnessed with his own eyes.
'The Origin Warrior…I can somehow see some of the memory fragments he has. It isn't much but he seems to have allowed me to see what I needed to see.' Acht thought to himself.
He gave him some very rough information about the Land of the Reincarnated and also their general location. One of those pieces of info was a system these reincarnated people created which was the 'Exiled System'.
It is essentially a law they created that basically made every single Reincarnated person, man or woman, young or old that did something wrong get exiled into space with no chances of ever going back.
The catch about this system is that the more this person contributed to the empire the more he will get to bring with him in case he was exiled at some point. The man in front of him was one of those cases.
Acht woke up from his trance and asked another question.
"Was it because you wanted them to forgive you if you performed a great achievement? Or did you want to get revenge on your country by creating a country of equal strength?" The boy asked with a cold look.
The man's face was already sweating buckets as he wiggled left and right trying to free himself from the invisible power that was tightly restraining his limbs.
"Sigh, I guess it's pointless to ask you this question since you won't stay alive," Acht muttered as he pulled his dark sword and pointed the tip at the enemy.
The tip of the sword touched his chin as he tried to arch his neck back instinctively.
"This world is restraining your powers greatly yet you still were able to toy with the strongest hunter alive. You have my respect for that." Acht muttered before lifting the sword up.
"Mmmmm!!!!!" The man groaned loudly as his eyes widened while looking at the sword that was about to end his life.
However, Acht's next words made his eyes almost pop out of their sockets.
"You don't have to worry…It's already over."
Before he could fully comprehend what he meant by those words.
*Swish*
His vision suddenly turned upside down as he felt himself fall down to the ground. What fell however wasn't his full body but only his head.
When that fact dawned on him, it was already too late.
"What a pathetic death." The boy spat down at the man with a disgusted look.
He didn't even feel like torturing him since he didn't even want to give him the chance to stay in this world for any more seconds.
"Go back to that bitch goddess." He muttered before looking back at Leislet.
However, what welcomed him instead was total darkness and a very soft feeling.
"Woah." He made a weird sound as he almost fell down.
"It's over!!! It's over, the war is over!!!" She Shouted as she basically suffocated him with her massive boobs.
The feeling wasn't bad but Acht was also slowly losing the oxygen in his lungs at an alarming rate.
So, out of pure worry over his life, he tried to push her away but ended up doing something that made the situation even worse.
*Boing*
His hand fell on one of those massive melons and groped it tightly.
"Yaaah!!" Leislet shrieked instinctively before blushing slightly.
"You can do that later, we are out now."
Acht almost spat blood at her weird comment before shouting.
"You are suffocating me, woman!"
Leislet heard him and gave him one last hug before letting him go.
He looked at her as he took breaths. He felt as if his soul was about to leave his body.
"You were about to kill me!" He shouted.
Leislet smiled proudly and replied.
"You liked that, didn't you?"
Acht glared at her before pointing at her chest.
"Your boobs are unnecessarily big. Are they made to kill people or what?" He said.
Leislet covered her breasts and frowned.
"Hey!! My breasts are beautiful and fluffy. How dare you disrespect them?"
"They are already a great disrespect to every woman in this world with how big they are. If I die one day, it will probably be because of your boobs." He scoffed.
"Y-You…" Leislet found herself speechless before tightening her fist.
"How about I beat you to death you little brat?! Come here!"
She approached Acht while threatening to punch him to death.
However, as they looked at each other, they started chuckling slightly. It was all a joke that they went along with and somehow ended up being very funny for both of them.
Then, Leislet smiled sweetly and muttered.
"Welcome back, Acht!"
However, Acht shook his head before looking back in a certain direction.
"You can say that to me after I deal with my last problem. I will be back in a minute."
He then walked to the middle of the city where the destroyed portal was located. It was basically a flat land now but it still somehow worked like any normal portal.
Leislet wanted to follow him but refrained from doing so.
'I have to trust him. It's his problem and he wants to deal with it alone.'
She thought to herself as she finally took a look at the whole city around her or to be more precise whatever was left of the city.
Immediately, reality dawned on her.
"Fixing all of this is going to be hell. Sigh, I should just retire at this point." She muttered to herself with a long sigh.
*************************
Back at Evernight City, Acht reached the place and it was as desolate or even more desolate than Lagradon. Everything was destroyed with nothing being fully intact or even partially intact.
After taking a glance around, he walked straight to where the fight ensued, searching for some people.
After walking for a while, he finally found them.
5 people were laying down on the ground, fully covered in blood.
Acht didn't say anything as he approached them quietly.
Lein, who was the closest to him, was somehow still awake as she looked at him with her hazy eyes. Her mouth oozed blood out endlessly.
He took a long look at her before asking.
"How did you even lose this badly?" He asked with a lighthearted tone.
Lein chuckled and said.
"It was very sudden. They somehow appeared out of nowhere and attacked us sneakily."
"What about Lenny?"
"I..don't know." She shook her head as she started coughing violently.
"Sigh…I can see the world turning whiter and whiter. Is this death?" She muttered.
"Probably. But, I could save you, you know?"
"And then what? What should I do?"
Acht sighed as he sat down next to her before looking up.
"You know…I feel tired right now…very tired. Mentally and physically. I feel like I would lose my life at any moment and this robbed any possible relaxing time I could get…"
"Cons of having too much strength." She replied sarcastically.
"So…I was thinking of buying a house in some forest or small village and spending a few years there. I want to relax and live a normal life for a while. I had enough blood and full-on daily action for the time being… I will certainly return to this lifestyle after some time but for now, it's over for me…"
He then sighed before continuing.
"Why don't you do the same thing, Lein? I know how much you love your team members. Look, they are all dead and it's all over. I think it's time for retirement. You have no way of continuing the mission Nightingale wanted to do."
Leislet didn't answer his question. Her eyes seemed to drift away as she looked at her team.
Uli, Weltz, Kin, Jack, Torn, and even Lenny. Every one of them had lost his life. Yet, she somehow didn't feel like crying or cursing. How could that be? Her eternal friends died horribly yet she didn't feel anything from that fact.
She just felt an emptiness in her heart. It was as if her only goal in life got robbed of her. She had somehow set her mind to try and accomplish Nightingale's dream and never thought about her own goals and desires.
"Why are you trying to help me? You had always said that you wanted to kill all of us. Why? You fell in love with me?"
"Consider it a payback for telling me about the army that was moving toward Lagradon when it appeared. You have saved my life and I will save yours."
He then stood up again and asked.
"So, what do you think? Is it not time for the finale? You could finally find your own path in life. A path that isn't filled with blood and hatred. I think that suits you better."
