Invicinble Colorless Butler

Chapter 213 6

After Ziel heard Azalia's question, he realized that he had never thought of that possibility until now. He was sure that while fighting Azael, they intended to kill each other. But in the end, Azael cast his curse by sacrificing his life force on Ziel instead of dragging Ziel to death with him.

Ziel finally thought of the strangeness that Azalia felt about the story. But no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't find a reason for Azael's actions back then.

"I do not know. It's probably only Azael who knows the answer." Ziel sighed heavily and tried to put the matter aside for now.

p "I understand, and I trust you. I'm sure my brother has other goals in keeping you alive, Ken." Azalia removed the veil covering her face to show her trust in him.

Lilith froze after seeing Azalia's transcendent face behind her veil. She thought Kalya was already excellent, but Azalia in front of her was no less beautiful than Kalya. Even in certain parts, Azalia looks much prettier than the Elven Royal Princess.

"Thank you for your trust in me. So can we put that problem aside and move on to my original purpose of coming to see you?" Ziel nodded when he saw Azalia's actions, but he didn't react like Lilith. Other than Ziel having seen Azalia's face once when he fought her nine hundred years ago, the current Ziel had no emotions to admire her beauty.

"Hmm… you're boring! What's with that response of yours!? At first, I thought I could tease you after showing my face. You should at least say that I'm beautiful, or you're mesmerized with a flushed face!" Azalia pouted and looked a bit disappointed by Ziel's calm reaction.

"Whose fault is this?" Ziel sighed lightly in response to Azalia's complaint.

"Okay... okay. I understand. So, what exactly do you want to ask me?" Azalia smiled bitterly, knowing that Ziel's current state was her brother's work. Then her face suddenly became serious.

"What was the real purpose of the divine race coming to the Clorius continent, and why did you suddenly collect the fragments of the World Altar in this era? I think your current goals are very different from the past." Ziel asks about the problem that made him come to see Azalia. He actually didn't care about the goals of the divine race on the Clorius continent as long as they didn't interfere with his life or those around him. But Ziel felt that he should know the answer to that question because the emergence of the divine race on the Clorius continent and the collecting of the World Altar fragments had indirectly involved his life.

Azalia narrowed her eyes after hearing Ziel's question. It was an essential secret for the divine race, and only a few people from her race knew about it. When Azalia saw the seriousness in Ziel's eyes, she knew she couldn't help but answer him. Azalia let out a light sigh and gave up. She was about to open her mouth to answer Ziel's question but was interrupted by a knock on the door.

<br/>"Miss, may I come in?" Aghares' voice was heard from outside the room. Azalia frowned as she was displeased by the sudden arrival of Aghares and interrupting her conversation. Even so, she still allowed Aghares to enter.

"Come in." Azalia said coldly.

The door opened, and Aghares entered with a gloomy face after seeing Ziel and Lilith standing not far from Azalia. The two of them didn't have time to sit down due to the tense situation earlier due to the misunderstanding between Azalia and Ziel. Besides, Aghares was shocked to see Azalia taking off her veil and showing her face in front of them.

"What is it? Didn't I tell you that I wanted to talk to an old acquaintance?" Azalia asked Aghares first before he could say anything.

"That is… I want to report that I have brought Fornius to the treatment room and that he is fine. He just lost consciousness for a while." Aghares said nervously, fearing that Azalia would find out that it was just a fake reason he came to her room.

"Just because of that? Can't you report it to me later after I finish my conversation with him?" Azalia felt even more displeased that Aghares seemed to be hiding something from her.

"I… I just wanted to check that you're okay, miss." Aghares forced his true reason on Azalia. He couldn't lie to her anymore for fear that she would be angry with him. Azalia sighed heavily after hearing Aghares' honest answer.

"I'm fine. Haven't you seen it yourself? Then you can leave since I still have a conversation with them." Azalia didn't want to spend her time with the overprotective Aghares and wanted to resume her conversation with Ziel quickly.

"If you're having a conversation with an old acquaintance, isn't this woman's presence unnecessary in this place?" Aghares pointed his finger at Lilith.

Even though Aghares didn't like the two of them, Ziel was an old acquaintance of Azalia, and he didn't dare to be rude to him directly. But it was a different story with Lilith. She was nothing to Azalia and just a former subordinate of Aghares, who he thought had betrayed her race.

Ziel frowned upon seeing Aghares' attitude towards Lilith. Azalia sensed that Ziel's mood had suddenly changed and wanted to get Aghares out of her room as soon as possible. But she was too late as Ziel had already disappeared from her sight and reappeared in front of Aghares. Ziel grasped the finger of Aghares that was pointed at Lilith and bent it upwards until it broke.

Crack!

"Aaahhhh!" Aghares screamed in pain and tried to pull his finger from Ziel's grip, but he couldn't because Ziel seemed unwilling to let him go. He tried to use his full strength, but Aghares felt that he was being suppressed by a hungry beast, and he couldn't bring out the slightest bit of his power.

"I will tell you once, so listen. I invited Lilith to come here not only to accompany me but also to hear what I was talking about with Azalia. Besides, I wasn't stupid enough to make her wait outside and let you bully her. Do you understand?" Ziel said coldly to Aghares.

Then Ziel threw Aghares out of the room and locked the door. He added a barrier in the room to prevent Aghares from re-entering, and the sound from outside was not heard. Ziel didn't want his conversation with Azalia to be interrupted again.

On the other hand, Lilith's face turned red after hearing Ziel's words. She didn't think Ziel would care about her so much. Lilith was happy because Ziel invited her to come to that place was not as his servant but as a person who had the right to know the contents of their conversation. Her heart was fluttering because she felt Ziel considered her an important person.

"I apologize for my actions. So, can we continue our conversation?" Ziel said casually to Azalia as if the appearance of Aghares before had never happened.

"Okay. But I didn't think you were the type of guy to be overprotective with your girlfriend." Azalia looked sullen, whether because Ziel had injured Aghares in front of her eyes or for other reasons.

"That's… I'm not his…" Lilith's face blushed even more, and she tried to refute Azalia's words for fear that Ziel would be offended by it. But she didn't continue her sentence after seeing Ziel's calm face next to her.

Azalia smiled in response to Lilith's behavior and invited Ziel and Lilith to sit on a chair near her bed, and then began to answer Ziel's question.

"So, where should I start? Oh, yes. I'll start with the divine race's purpose of coming to this continent. This is an important secret for our race, and only a few people know it clearly. I will grant you an exception this time, but I beg you to keep it a secret." Azalia spoke with a solemn face to Ziel and Lilith. They both nodded in response. Then Azalia took a breath and started to talk.

"Our real purpose in coming to the Clorius continent was to avoid our enemies." Azalia said in a voice trembling with fear.

"Enemy? Does the divine race have such a strong enemy that you must flee to this continent?" Ziel raised his eyebrows after hearing Azalia's answer. He could tell that Azalia was scared just by hearing her voice. On the other hand, Lilith was focused on listening to Azalia's story like she didn't want to miss a single word of her explanation. Lilith also didn't know why her race fled to the Clorius continent because when she came to this world, she was still very young.

"Hmm… originally, we did not have any enemies in the divine realm. Ah, that's where we used to live. That realm is located in another dimension in outer space of this world. Our race is the ruler because we are the strongest among the other races. We are considered gods in that world, and we accept it. Under our leadership, the angel race and other races in that realm live in peace. Until one day, those people suddenly appeared." Azalia's face darkened after saying the last line of her story.

"Those people?" Ziel and Lilith asked simultaneously.

"They call themselves gods from ancient times or so-called primeval gods. Their strength is extraordinary. if humans and other races, including the divine race can only have a maximum of ten aura seals, magic circles, or god rings, they can have up to eleven." Azalia stopped her story, took the glass on the table near her bed, and drank it. After that, she continued her story.

"They considered the people from the divine race an eyesore and a threat to their existence. That's why they started massacring our race one after another. But it turns out that it's not only our race that experiences it. The other races suffered the same fate, and even the angel race in our realm became extinct." Azalia trembled violently after remembering her past. Azalia suddenly found it difficult to breathe, and cold sweat dripped from her forehead because the incident was a deep trauma for her.

Ziel stretched out his hand and pointed at Azalia. He shot a gray light from his fingertip towards her forehead. Azalia's body was enveloped in the warm gray light, and her breathing stabilized.

"Thank you, Ken." Azalia smiled and took a deep breath before opening her mouth again.

"At that time, my parents, who were kings and queens of that realm, gathered the remaining races and declared war with those primeval gods. Although the number of our enemies was few, they were powerful, and the battle ended in the victory of the primeval god. We were at a disadvantage from the start of the war, and we knew that but refused to give up." Azalia took a deep breath and tried to stabilize her heart.

"The war lasted for several months until all the races in the divine realm were annihilated, leaving only our race. In the end, only our race can go to war with those primeval gods. In the final battle, my parents and the rest of my race sacrificed their lives to destroy space in the divine realm and create a portal for us to escape." Azalia had tears in her eyes and felt a pain in her chest when she remembered her parents' sacrifice.

"Dozens of people from the divine race managed to escape. We didn't know where the portal was taking us and when we opened our eyes, we were already on this continent. But the most surprising thing is that we lost our divine power when we came to this world." Azalia smiled sadly and wiped the tears from her cheeks.

"Hmm... so that's how it is. Shouldn't you mingle with the natives of this continent instead of doing subjugation as those primeval gods did in the divine realm?" Ziel narrowed his eyes and said coldly to Azalia.

"I can't do anything about it. The people of the divine race had a certain arrogance after being rulers in the divine realm for a long time. After we found out that the people of this world were so weak even after we lost our divine power, the people of my race decided to become the rulers of the Clorius continent." Azalia smiled bitterly in response to Ziel's words.

"Then what is your goal in collecting the world altar fragments? Do you intend to return to the divine realm and seek revenge?" Ziel repeated his second question to Azalia.

"How could I dare to return to the divine realm. It would only lead to complete annihilation for my race. After all, I don't know how far this world is from the divine realm. So I never thought about it." Azalia shook her head weakly and denied Ziel's conjecture.

"Can you tell me your true purpose?" Ziel felt that Azalia was reluctant to give him an answer, so he pushed her a bit.

"I want to take my race to another world by using the world altar." Azalia answered Ziel honestly.

"Why did you do that?" Lilith entered into their conversation because she was curious about Azalia's reasoning.

"My brother has the mark of one of the primeval gods, and he knows that they are looking for the whereabouts of our race. My brother feels that those primeval gods will come to this world sooner or later." Azalia answered with a frightened face.
