My Second Life in Another World

Chapter 12: Behind The Scenes

??? POV

"Are we going to make a move against him?" asked a muscular old elf with blue skin, long silver hair with a single long strand dangling over the right side of his face, blank white eyes, and round ears. He wore a ragged white cloak with a black collar over a tattered white shirt, ragged black pants, and a pair of black boots.

Then he looked towards the other three people who were present he didn't want any of this as he didn't think the person they wanted to deal with was worth their time.

"Yes, we can't have another unknown factor coming into play when we don't even know where Ashborn's vessel is." muscular man with tan skin, glowing yellow eyes, sharp teeth, and wild black hair. When using his powers. He also wore silver fur pelts, a ragged skirt with a thick silver fur waistline, and gold-trimmed white armor on his right shoulder and over his groin area. While releasing killing intent if there was a hunter here they would have passed out from the intense killing intent but the people he was with didn't even feel a tickle.

"That's why I am saying that we should find the vessel of Ashborn as soon as possible." The old elf said causing the Tanned man to be annoyed as he was about to say something.

"We are going to kill them all anyway, one more doesn't matter." a beautiful young woman with glowing red eyes, pale skin, long flowing black hair, purple lips, a perfect hourglass figure, a large bust, and insectile hands and feet. She also wore greenish-black armor that left her upper cleavage and shoulders exposed said with a blood-thirsty expression.

"I also think there is no need to go this far for a feeble human. We should use this time to find Ashborn's vessel" an old man with gray hair, light red eyes, and a blood-red blob symbol on his torso. He wore a tattered blackish-purple hooded cloak, a pale yellow bone-like mask over his mouth, and two metallic horn-like objects extending from his upper back. Also, when using his powers or agitated, his eyes glowed pinkish-purple said while looking at the tanned man.

"Cowards you do not dare to kill a human." The tanned man said while snorting at the rest. Trying to provoke them into taking action but...

The old elf ignored him while making his plans.

The woman was thinking of how she was going to slaughter the humans.

And the old man was thinking that it wasn't worth his time.

The tanned man was furious when saw that no one was paying any attention to him he wanted to shout but...

"Why are you all causing a ruckus here don't you have anything to do." everyone looked in the direction of the voice and they saw a handsome young man with blonde hair and green eyes. He wore a long white coat with a glowing blood-red collar, black pants and shoes, small earrings, and a simple gray undershirt.

"We are talking about that anomaly you told us about." The old elf said causing the man who came in to raise his brow. As he said,

"We all have a job to do, Don't we." He said as he understood what was happening as he looked towards the tanned man asked.

"Don't tell me you are afraid of a single human. I don't want to imagine what will happen when you face Ashborn again." The handsome man said smiling arrogantly at the tanned man which caused his killing intent to shoot through the roof, As he said in a low voice.

"Don't get ahead of yourself." Everyone knew why he was angry as his sore spots were poked.

"Hey, can I go and kill that human." The woman with a voluptuous body said licking her lips sadistically.

"No, Querehsha you haven't completely integrated with the body. It isn't a good choice for you to go out now." The old elf said as he looked toward his 'comrade'.

"What a shame. The will of this human is way higher is it because she was an empress. Well, I'll conquer it soon anyway." She said as she started to think about how to kill people ruthlessly again. But there was a voice in her head only she could hear.

'I...Won't…..le…..t....Y...ou.....Do.....wh….at....yo…..u…..di…d….to...…my….world…..to...another…world...' the voice spoke in broken intervals.

The woman just smiled more gleefully as she thought of how to break the spirit of this Emperess.

"So what are we going to do now. Are we going to leave him alone?" The tanned man said annoyed.

"I already prepared for this. I have sent someone to the dungeon that human entered. And gave them the artifact that masks mana. He will be taken care of. So let us get back to our work of finding Ashborn's vessel and killing the ruler's vessel. After the catastrophe is brought on that island and the human world is reinforced. We can start our war against the rulers in full force." After saying that the handsome man opened a portal and vanished.

After that, everyone left one by one only leaving the tanned muscular man behind.

"Tsk." He clicked his tongue in annoyance and left.

...

BACK TO M.C

After a while, we reached the entrance of the dungeon and saw it covered with a spell barrier. That isn't going to allow anyone to go outside. Hae-in went to check what kind of barrier it was.

I had my Sharingan activated and saw….

Hae-in who was about to touch the barrier I quickly her hand and pulled her towards me. She was surprised by my action as she tripped and fell on my chest I supported her with my arms as I asked worriedly.

"Are you alright?" She wasn't answering as her face was buried in my chest. So I wasn't able to see her expression.

'Did the spell affect her? I should've been faster.' I supported her with one arm as I held her waist and with the other hand, I lifted her chin...

I looked at her eyes which were spinning and she had a blush on her face that went down to her neck. 'Looks like she didn't get affected with the spell. Then what happened.' I thought as I looked at her state with my Sharingan. And her expression got a bit clear. Then she looked at me and the red on her face became more vibrant as it reached her ears.

"H-H-Ha-Haru W-W-Wha-What are y-you d-doing?" she asked me while averting her eyes from me.

And I saw our situation and there was only one thought in my mind

'FUCK.' As I released her she then looked away but I can see her ears were red. But looking at her shy appearance I felt my heartbeat race as well.

I shook my head and explained to her what had happened.

"Hae-in there was a curse on the barrier, if someone touches the barrier it would activate and as the curse's type was not known I pulled you towards me quickly, I'm sorry for what I did," I said while scratching my head as she was glancing at me.

"I-It's o-ok. I un-understand you don't have to apologize." She said as she turned towards me. while looking down and not looking at me.

I sighed in relief as she understood. Then she asked.

"So what are we going to do now we can't contact the outside and asked for reinforcement." She said as she calmed down now. And looked at me.

"I guess we can only try to finish it as soon as possible," I said as I looked towards the way we came from.

She was a bit hesitant at first.

"Believe in me alright. We'll be able to go out soon, Say wanna go out for some Dinner. I'll treat you." I said with a smile.

She was in a daze again as she looked at me but nodded while showing a beautiful smile.

"So let's go and finish this," I said to her we went towards the depth of the dungeon.
