Chapter 402 Your argument just sounds so stupid that even an idiot could not understand it!

"So it's you…"

Even if Alex was gone for a few months away from the Four Moons World, he can still recognize the voice of the one who just spoke up.

It sounded both haughty and righteous at the same time, which was just similar to how this speaker spoke to Alex before.

But instead of making him more worried, Alex appeared to be somewhat interested by the speaker. He did not appear to be fearful at all as he began to approach the door leisurely.

His body seemed to lack tension as he got closer to the door, which was a direct contrast to Alina and Professor Frances' tight expression.

"Yes, I am here, Delia. Now, what do you want to talk about with me?" Alex said in a lazy tone as he stopped right in front of the door. He then held the door k.n.o.b with a light grip, creating small rattling sounds as he began to shake the door a little. "You have guts going here to talk with me. You must be up to something…"

"Alex! Why did you answer her? You know that she's a Traveler too!" Alina hissed at Alex as she realized what Alex was doing. "Didn't you say that one of her powers was the mortal enemy of your Abyss Power? That means that she could be out for your throat at this moment!"

"Oh, I don't think that Delia's aiming for my life right now. After all, I can't sense any danger coming from her at all." Alex replied as he kept his hold on the doork.n.o.b. "Besides, I can also sense that she's restraining her power just like us. That just means that she's also careful about using too much power. In this kind of situation, for her to attack me is almost impossible…"

"But-"

"Alina, I know about your irrational hate with this woman, and on how much you want to smother her. But please, I need you to resist it for now." Alex said as he interrupted Alina's complaints. "Even if Delia is our enemy, our current situation forces us to be flexible. So what if Delia's powers were hostile to me? She cannot do anything against me, not with the current situation that we are in! So don't worry about this woman, Alina. Even if she had ulterior motives against me, she will only use it once our crisis here is solved…"

"Hoho, I never expected Alex to be this eloquent. Now I understand why you became a Traveler." Delia, who was still in front of the door, suddenly said as she let out a haughty laugh. "Just by hearing one sentence from me, you already recognized my intentions. Bravo, bravo."

"So you actually want to cooperate with me? Now that's something I don't get to hear from someone like you." Alex replied as he tilted his head. "What would someone like you need with me? Even if you know that the current state of this world is unfavorable for us, you could have done something to thrive by yourself, right? Why approach me then?'

"Tsk, instead of questioning me, why don't you just let me in, devil?" Delia hissed angrily as she let out an aggressive knock. "Don't tell me that you're scared…"

"Hmph, you're the one who's scared. You can't even use your power to force your way in. How could you call yourself as a Traveler if you act like this?" Asteria said in a hostile tone as she glared at the door. "No wonder you only had two companions with you. You seem to lack the skills needed to become a great ally!"

"Shut up there, b**ch. Do you think I am talking to you?" Delia shot back, in a tone that was just as hostile as Alina's. "You're just Alex's trophy girlfriend, so don't you interrupt with our business transaction! Just go and eat your veggies in a corner while we do the important stuff!"

"Trophy girlfriend? You dare call me that?" Alina shrilly said as she marched towards the door with red eyes. She then held the hilt of her katana as she focused her red eyes on the doork.n.o.b itself. "Say that word one more time, and I will hack you down right here!"

"Oh… did that word trigger you? I'm sorry about that. I never thought you can be this sensitive." Delia said with a laugh as she seemed to have not noticed Alina's aggressive pose right now. "Are you really sure that you are well-suited for this? Your boyfriend here seems to be burdened by you already."

"Hmph, so what if I am not good at negotiations? At least I have a boyfriend." Alina replied as a sneer made its way on her face. "How about you, Delia? Where's your boyfriend? Is he with you? Oh, I actually don't need to ask that question. WIh your b**chy att.i.tude, having a boyfriend is an impossibility for you!"

"You s.l.u.t! You dare call me a b**chy woman! You really want to get beaten up!" Delia roared out. "Good thing I brought my spear here, for someone's getting skewered on it tonight!"

"Ha! Bring it then! I will slice you to pieces first before you can do it!"

"Slice me? Hmph, every sword user that I have met before had all died on my spear. You… you will just be included in that list!"

"Oh really? Prove it to me then!"

"HEY YOU TWO. SHUT YOUR MOUTHS!" Alex could not take the argument between these two women anymore, which prompted him to shout out angrily. Some traces of Wrath were mixed with his shouts, which made his following statements sound heavier. "IF YOU WANT TO QUARREL JUST DO IT LATER! FOR NOW, LET THINGS HAPPEN AS THEY SHOULD BE! I DON'T CARE IF YOUR DIVINE SENSORY ORGANS ARE FORCING YOU TO QUARREL! IF YOU WANT TO QUARREL, DO IT ONCE WE'RE DONE WITH EVERYTHING! HOW HARD IT WILL BE FOR YOU TWO TO RESTRAIN YOURSELVES? PLEASE BE MINDFUL OF YOUR ACTIONS! YOUR ARGUMENT JUST SOUNDS SO STUPID THAT EVEN AN IDIOT COULD NOT UNDERSTAND IT! ARGHH!! PLEASE JUST DON'T TALK WITH EACH OTHER FOR NOW, OK? SEEING YOU TALK WITH EACH OTHER WILL JUST DRIVE ME NUTS AGAIN!"

"…"

"…"

Both women were immediately silenced by Alex's words. Even when Alina looked like she wanted to take a piece out of Delia, she did her best to keep her cool.

Delia was at the same case too, as none of her threatened spear attacks made its way across the door.

"Good…. At least you two can still act like civilized people…" Alex said as he let out an exhausted sigh. "Seriously, just keep your cool if you're near each other. We can't afford any stupidity right now."

"Just talk with me right now, Alex." Delia said in a low tone as the sounds of a shuffling spear could be heard from the door. "I need to talk to you about something important, so come out now and face me."

"Oi, even if I think that you are interested in allying with me, the way that you said your request sounds fishy to me." Alex replied as he took note of the spear sounds. "Do you really want to talk to me, or do you just want to poke me with your spear? I can't seem to make a difference with it."

"I mean no ill-intent against you, Alex. I just want to talk with you right now." Delia replied as she resumed knocking on her door. "Come on, just go out and face me. If you don't, I will continue knocking on your door. Trust me, the sounds of repeating knocks can make you feel crazy if you will hear it long enough. If you don't go out here, I can a.s.sure you that your friends will be rendered crazy by my knocks…"

"What the h.e.l.l is wrong with you? That's not how someone requests to have a talk." Alex sourly said as he shook his head. "If you want to make me talk with you, please do it in a proper way."

"This is my 'proper way', Alex." Delia said in an unyielding tone. "Now come out already. You don't want me resorting on my 'improper ways' to make you talk…"

"Improper ways? Ah whatever, let's just get this done over with." Seeing that Delia will not be perused from her goals, Alex only let out a sigh as he decided to open the door for her. "Even if you will try something funny here, none of it will work against the current me."

"You think I can't do anything against you? Really?" Delia casually said these words as the opening on Alex's door began to widen. "What makes you sure about that?"

"Hoho, you won't know the answer to that question of yours. Just behave and talk politely with me." Alex replied calmly.

At this point, he had already fully opened the door, which revealed Delia's appearance to him.

Unlike her previous clothes, the current Delia was wearing what appeared to be a combination of jeans and t-s.h.i.+rt, which surprisingly was a good fit for her.

She was also wearing sneakers and gla.s.ses, which exemplified her already 'fas.h.i.+onable' appearance.

"Woosh woosh woosh."

Delia was currently waving her spear right now, and she did not stop on doing so even when Alex was already seeing her.

She even sped up her waving of the spear as her eyes swiveled at Alex.

"Alex, don't try to mask your actions here with 'sincerity.' I can already taste what you are feeling right now…" Delia said in an irritated tone as she slowly unfurled her tongue. She then started licking the air in front of her, making 'slurp slurp' sounds along the way.

"Hmm… the air around you was concentrated with the tastes of power and confidence. Aside from that, I can also feel some kind of condescension from you. Hmph, so you are looking down at me right now." Delia said after she retracted her tongue back. "Are you so confident about your power that you are not worried about me anymore?"

"You can say that again, pal." Alex replied cheekily as he just smiled at Delia. "Why don't you try it for yourself?"

"Oh, I will try it for myself. You don't need to ask me that." Delia replied quickly as the movements of her spear suddenly changed. "Don't blame if you get hurt. After all, you're the one who requested me to attack!"

The spear, which was previously waving around Delia in random directions, let out a keening sound as she suddenly thrusted it towards Alex's head!

The air seemed to have split itself apart as the spear lunged across it, making its approach on Alex appear both forceful and elegant.

The thrusting sound, which should have been created by the sudden attack was practically non-existent, as if the speed of Delia's spear thrust was enough to overcome all sets of limitations placed on spears.

The spear was only silent as it got nearer and nearer to Alex, making it look like a brooding stalker that was about to take him down!

If one can see Delia's attack in slow motion, that person will exclaim one thing.

'What a smooth attack!'

However, this was not the only thing special about Delia's spear attack

When the spear reached the distance of a few inches away from Alex's forehead, roaring winds suddenly manifested itself on the spear head, creating a raging tornado that quickly turned the air on the whole area into a vacuum.

This tornado was then compressed into an extremely thin line, which merged itself with the sharp edge of the spear head.

The formerly smooth spear attack now changed to become a turbulent one, with the power of the compressed tornado spurning the spear to tremble greatly.

This made the spear extremely unstable, with its approach towards Alex drastically slowed down.

In fact, it was so slow that even a normal person can actually see its movements now! That's how slow it was already!

But even if the spear was slower right now, Alex had no more chance of dodging it, as by this point, the tip of the spear was almost touching Alex's skin!

Even if Alex tried to do something, the power inherent in the spear will render any of his attempts useless!

The only way that Alex can survive this attack was to face it head-on, which is a hard thing to do, especially now that the spear was about to pierce him!
