Versatile: Alternate World-Chapter 609 New Beginnings

After the eventual death of the Tormentor, the cult leader went unconscious once more, perhaps due to the fatigue that accumulated throughout the entire time she bash the core for an hour just to break it to pieces. I hurriedly catch her and she fell into my arms.

"Master, what are we going to do with her? She is still an enemy at the end of the day. Should we kill her?" Atlas asked.

"We can just leave her here. We don't have any reason to keep her and I think she can choose what she will do in the very end. It's not our responsibility to help her especially since she almost caused the downfall of this continent."

"I agree with you, Master," Atlas is clearly in favor of my decision.

However, someone else is not in favor of my decision and decided to interject.

"I object to this matter. If you are not willing to take care of her, then I will be the one taking care of her."

Then, the Summon's Area's entrance opened and the half angel half fallen appeared before us.

"If you guys are not willing to save her and take care of her then I will take her in."

"What are you saying Laga!? Do you want to help an enemy like this? Are you aware of how dangerous she was?" Atlas is against the decision of the Half Angel-Half Fallen kid which I just knew the name of which is Laga.

"What's dangerous about her? She still holds powers but she no longer bears the powers she got from that false god obviously after it died. What are you all even afraid of? Aren't you guys strong enough to handle her if she ever made something wrong? Why are you guys not even bothering to help her?"

Atlas can't say anything. Although it is indeed annoying to take care of her who still views us as enemies, if Laga sees something on her, perhaps she had something that made this silent kid take action instead of just idly watching what is happening. However, I still needed to know why this guy wanted me to take the girl with us.

"What are your reasons for helping this girl out? She is a fallen and she clearly is a hostile one who can definitely pose a threat to us. What makes you think she is worth saving?"

"I know you guys don't care about her because she was an enemy but I care about her and I don't want her to die. I cannot let her go and just die out in the unknown. I don't want my sister to be separated from me again. Not after for so long, we have finally reunited." ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m

When we heard his reasons, I can't believe what he just revealed to us. The cult leader herself was the sister of this Half Angel-Half Fallen Kid all along? 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗ｎovel.𝐜o𝒎

"Why you didn't tell us she was your sister?"

"Because she changed so much. She wasn't like this when we were still together before which is why I wanted to learn whether she is indeed my sister or someone else using her body and face to look like my sister. After all, there are monsters that are able to shapeshift or even take over a dead body for them to control."

Laga was not wrong. Enemies that can shapeshift or take over a body is a fairly common monsters in Alternate World. It wouldn't even come as a surprise if there are some dead NPCs coming back to life but has changed too much that no one can recognize them now only to find out they have been taken over by something else.

"After analyzing her, I realized that she is still the same sister as I have before. She might have changed a lot but it was still my sister. So I beg of you, don't kill her or leave her here to die. If you really don't want her to bring along with us, then I will stay behind. You can leave me behind and besides, I am not an obligation for you to bring. I am not even part of your followers or a pet at all. Don't bother with me and leave me with her here just fine."

I sighed and scratch my head after hearing his reason. I am not cruel enough to leave him with his sister there to die and as he said, this cult leader no longer poses any danger to us especially after she personally killed off the main boss that retreated to a defensive form to remain alive after being killed. And even if she wanted to kill us, every one of us will be able to beat her up easily, well except for Cotton and Cath Palug for obvious reasons.

"Alright, fine. You can keep her with you. However, if a problem arises due to her, you better solve it yourself. I will only intervene if things are no longer salvageable."

Laga clearly showed visible happiness but he didn't show it so quickly and went serious as he inspected the situation of his sister.

"It seems she is fine. She was just under too much fatigue which is why she is not in a good shape. She just needed some sleep and a good amount of rest. Rest assured she will not cause any trouble."

I nodded and allowed him to carry his sister inside the Summon's Area. Atlas looked at me and shook his head.

"I apologize for that, Master. I didn't know that it was his sister. If I have known that I..."

"No need to apologize. We don't know anything so we just immediately assumed it. Anyways, since he will be handling the well-being of his sister right now, then we don't have any choice. Anyway, our job here is over. Let's collect our loot and go on our way."

There was a treasure chest that dropped after the destruction of the core not too far from us. Since I was not the one who finished off the Tormentor, the experience I gained after the death of the boss was significantly lower but is enough to close the gap for me to have a small amount of exp left to collect before I reach the next level. I just needed to grind ahead of time until I reach level 200. After all, now that the first phase of the event is over, the boss rush area of the Luminous Continent will finally be unlocked and I am planning to reach level 200 there while also grinding different materials as well. It will take as long to grind there but it's at least much faster than grinding on dungeons and fields.

This can ease up my leveling problems for a while. Now, back to the treasure chest. It popped up after the death of the boss though no one else but me noticed it appear there. The chest was locked but kicking the lock will immediately open the chest immediately. It wasn't even necessary for me to pick the lock open.

Once the lock is gone, I proceed to open the chest, and there, a few pieces of equipment appeared before me. A long black and blue coat with some style here and there. If I compare it to something similar, it looks like the assassin's robes in Assassin's Creed game franchise though leaning more similar to the coat of the male character of the game's franchise that took place in London.

It doesn't have the same hoodie but it looks stylish enough that even I who have no fashion sense would look awesome wearing it. I didn't check the item just yet and checked the other content of the chest and realized that it wasn't just the coat currently there but pants, boots, gloves, and a hat is available. Based on their name, this is an entire set.

Not only that but there are also some materials dropped by the boss, a few gold coins, a few bottles of Hp Potions, and Mana Potions that can fetch a hefty price if sold and can be repurposed for something else too.

I don't want to waste my time there and just put the set into my inventory and everything inside the chest into my inventory.

With the boss gone, I think it is time to report back to the commander of the angels about the situation. Since it all happened in just a few days since my arrival here, the procedure has yet to progress much on their side.

Once that was done, the second phase of the event will immediately begin. This is where the main fun of the expedition begins. Not only will this divide the players in an ideology of some sort but they will be waging war in the faction and choosing which faction will win. This time around, I am going to use this chance to finally cripple and humiliate Kazuki further. If he thinks this event will bring him glory and fame, perhaps he might have meet the one that will bring his downfall instead.
