Unravelling Secrets

So seek help from the humans to return the core to neighbouring Alis planet, Altis.

_________

Alsezh now had a general idea of what must have happened, he also discovered to some extent why the Dark guild made this mission public.

Alsezh's thinking was indeed right.

The core had a defense mechanism of its own which would attack on detecting other life forces near it just like what happened earlier. If even the B-rank expert didn't came in, this must mean that the Government must have sent someone even more powerful to bring the core back but was devoured instead that's why the Empire made this public after its failed attempts and decided to let others give a try before the news spread to the Altis planet.

"In the probable case bringing back the core will also give the empire an opportunity to strike a one sided business deal with the Alis."

"but still it seems the empire just thinks this is weapon of mass annihilation if they knew what it really is then the empire could reap many more benefits from this deal."

"hehe guess I should exchange this information for some benefits for myself after all I am the only human knowing Alis language"

Alsezh also came to know how powerful his cultivate skill was depending upon the fact it had absorbed the entire Alis force and that too within 30 mins. That was the life force of the entire planet.

But Alis core could only absorb the life force of Alisians as for why it attacked Alsezh that was a defense mechanism against other species.

Still Alsezh was quiet unhappy after knowing he was one of the lab rats recruited by the Empire unknowingly, but unlike others not only he did not die but in return he devoured the devourer itself and had also collected valuable info.

"When I become strong enough I would head to other Alis civilizations."

"hehe may be take there cores too so that they wouldn't annihilate themselves…..Alas only a merciful man like me can do them this selfless act for them...sigh"

3 hours had passed since Alsezh came inside the cabin,

"its time too go out"

Alsezh after speaking some words in Alis language which managed to open the door he carried the still unconscious Shiv and left.

The floor was now littered with 7 corpses,

"seems like there was a fight here .In any case the core is a useless shell for me now, might as well let them take it after all one should not be too greedy"

Alsezh then started memory alteration on Shiva,

"this brat despite being young is quiet capable, he has good potential"

After activating his skill Alsezh went ahead to wash his brain but he suddenly remembered the words spoken by Shiv just before becoming unconscious.

So Alsezh first decide to looked into his memories and came to know something surprising.

The boy was captured and trained by an assassination organisation similar to Dark Gloves and when he retaliated by trying to escape they threatened to kill his mother.

The worst part was that every mission he completed would guarantee 3 months of life for his mother. And if he couldn't complete his mission this time his mother would have only 5 days to live.

And professionally speaking performing an assassination within 5 days was almost impossible.

This time his mission was to get the codex(core) which was issued by the organisation to him.

"sigh seems like I have to get the core after all…..hmm might as well take the brat under my wing he indeed has good potential"

"but the cost for taking him in is destroying the Velvet organisation…..hmm forget it if i take him under me by destroying the org it will be just continuation of another slavery for him"

"he should decide his own future all I can give him is a little help"

Alsezh then tied Shiv to his back and opened a parachute to glide down from the top floor.

After brushing past the wind swiftly Alsezh opened his parachute not too far from the base of the tower he could see three assassins running along the main road in haste while also fighting each other from time to time.

Alsezh smirked he had already prepared a plan to sabotage their ambition for the core by taking it for himself.

"I better hurry up or things wont be fun if they kill each other, hehe"
