Chapter 122

Sitting by the campfire opposite the couple, Sierra looked at them attentively, then, using her Soul Force, said:

"You pleasantly surprised me by sending me a message in such an unusual way."

In response, the couple just smiled.

"Why did you call me? I don't think you went to such lengths just to have me by your side to fulfill the rest of our deal." Sierra herself could have completed her part without having to come here, as she had already found out and found a group of outsiders who were looking forward to the couple's return.

"It's nice to meet you too, Sierra," Arabel finally said, this time making a mental link with Sierra.

Sierra was surprised to hear Arabel's voice in her head. Serra didn't pay much attention to the way Arabel addressed her directly by her first name.

"Ah, little sister, have you finally decided to use this ability on me?" Sierra asked, and her words made it clear to Arabel and Idan that the other side had already guessed the existence of their similar skills.

Knowing that Sierra did not like him, Idan decided to take the role of a simple observer, only deciding to intervene if necessary.

"Do you have any news for us?" Arabel asked eagerly, wanting to know what Sierra had been up to during their absence. Arabel was sure that by this point Sierra should have already found out where the ambush was and how many people were gathered there.

"During these days, I realized how seriously the consciousness of this world treats you. So many people gathered that before I drank the potion, I wasn't sure if I could keep my end of the bargain." Sierra wasn't exaggerating.

"About a hundred people gathered, including four diamond, thirteen platinum, half gold, and the rest silver. You have to understand that not only outsiders are gathered here, but also local residents."

Arabel and Idan weren't particularly surprised by the number of people. They also ignored Sierra's warning that there were locals among those who had set up the ambush. Geminia had already made it clear to them that it didn't matter to them who had set up the ambush, locals or strangers. Idan and Arabel can perceive everyone as one.

"Did you find out what attracted the outsiders to Limbo Consciousness and the locals to hunt us? We were both interested in finding out what could attract the attention of outsiders," Arabel asked.

"It looks like the locals have discovered your very existence. As residents of another world, you are strangers to them, and you pose a danger not only to Limbo, but also to the outside world. In addition, the locals promised those who will take part in this process and help Limbo absorb you, to share the information gained from your absorption. It could be new techniques and abilities," Sierra replied. During this time, without revealing herself, she listened attentively to the conversations of the audience and was able to gather a lot of rumors to come to this conclusion.

"Just that? And how can outsiders so easily believe the words of the locals? After all, both sides can be considered enemies, and only the rules of Limbo himself restrain them both," Arabel couldn't help but ask.

"As for the details, you can go look for someone who knows exactly what, how, and why. You're asking the wrong person," Sierra shrugged off Arabel's questions.

Seeing that Sierra didn't really show any desire to talk in this direction, Arabel gave up and decided to stop asking questions and decided to go straight to the reasons why they invited her to meet at this place.

Yes, it was Idan and Arabel who purposefully called her and decided to take the last place on duty today, waiting for Sierra's arrival.

That was one of the requests they asked Geminia for: to deliver a message to Sierra using one of the doppelgangers. And, as it turned out, Geminia did all this without much difficulty.

"When we decided to go to the Forbidden Zone, we didn't have a clear plan on how to avoid an ambush. We understood that Limbo's consciousness would not just let us go and take some action, so the ambush did not come as a surprise to us. However, we didn't expect Limbo's consciousness to attract so many Diamonds and Platinum rank to his side." Arabel had to admit that they had seriously underestimated Limbo. "But let's forget about them for now. A lot has happened in the central layer these days, and we have some ideas that we need your help with, Sierra. That's why we invited you to this meeting."

Sierra couldn't figure out what this couple wanted from her, but she was curious about what they would offer. Under the terms of the previous deal, Sierra was still obligated to fulfill her part of the obligations. If she does not do this, then according to the soul contract, she will face consequences that can harm her soul.

"How about a new deal?" Arabel asked with a smile, looking at Sierra.

Sierra showed no emotion in response to this question.

"This time without any contract. We both already consider you to be a reliable partner we can rely on," Arabel added.

Sierra continued to stare at Arabel in silence, not noticing Idan, who had been silently watching their negotiations all this time. Idan noticed some changes in Arabel's behavior. Compared to the last time, Arabel looked more confident and held herself straight while talking to Sierra.

Arabel even addressed her by her first name.

"Before I make a decision, tell me, what do you want from me?" Sierra didn't immediately agree, deciding to listen to them first and then make a decision.

Arabel and Idan looked at each other, and both of their eyes were already glowing, realizing that they had attracted Sierra's attention and decided to share their idea with her.

The next morning, a surprise awaited Alois and Liam, the master and disciple.

After breakfast and gathering tents, all of the elf's disciples suddenly informed them that from that moment on, their paths would diverge and that they could leave without participating in the ambush.

The master and disciple had a complicated expression on their faces when they heard this.

Even though they were attracted to this because of their master, they had gotten a little closer these days and now they didn't want to just leave them when they knew they would be ambushed. But, realizing the seriousness and danger, Alois did not want to risk putting his disciple and himself in danger when the elf's disciples themselves gave them a way out of this situation.

Based on this, Alois made a decision and, taking his disciple, left the group, after saying goodbye and wishing them good luck.

Liam didn't want to just leave them, especially the elf. Liam didn't know why, but he didn't want her to put herself in danger. But he couldn't resist his master's order, and he had to follow him and leave the group.
