Chapter 219: Anima(Part 18)
"Woaaahhh...so, this is what this truth Spell feels like," Grinned Lyon, restrained in the APF police station.
"Let’s get started. First, the teleportation trap you set, was it really random?" Inquired one of the APF members with a grimace.
"Hahaha, yup, sure was! I set it to identify areas that are highly concentrated in Monster Mana and then teleport targets to one of the identified locations at random. It’s still a work in progress though. I’m still trying to increase its range, right now it only teleports targets to places within Anima. Heh, but it’s fine, I bet everyone who got teleported are dead now!" He cackled gleefully.
"Surely you realize, if that’s really true, this could trigger a war?" Frowned another of the APF members.
"Yeah, duh! That’s what I’m after! Seeing all these people walking around all peaceful and stuff, it’s so boring. I want to see their expressions twist in despair, and triggering a war is the best way to do that! And with this whole alliance thing, I saw the perfect opportunity. I gathered up a bunch of people who were prejudiced against humans, gave them a dramatic speech about protecting the future of our nation and shit like that, and just like that, I had a small army under my command! Honestly, I didn’t expect it to work so well!" He laughed in amusement.
A couple of hours had passed since the attack on Anima Shield’s hideout. Lyon had been restrained and taken to the APF after Raven knocked him out.
The APF made a report to the Anima government, after which they began preparing for the interrogation. Raven and Tacitus had requested to sit in on it, wanting to find out exactly what happened to their friends and allies.
"Yeah, that explains a lot. He never gave a shit about the alliance, he just wanted to stir up some chaos," Surmised Raven with a grimace.
"Yup, this guy gets it!"
"You’re nothing more than a fool. Everyone who got caught in your teleport trap is extremely strong, they’ve survived far worse than having to fight off a few Monsters. Well, I can’t exactly speak on the Adventurers in that regard, but they certainly seemed plenty capable when we destroyed your hideout and wiped out your followers," Pointed out Tacitus icily.
"Yeah, they were all losers. They had you all outnumbered, like, ten to one, and they still lost, in a matter of minutes, and without inflicting so much as a single casualty to your side," He sighed in disappointment.
"How petty. And what a waste of talent too. I’ve never seen any Spells formulated as creatively and uniquely as yours, but you don’t even make the most of your talent. If I were you, I would’ve set that teleport trap to teleport its targets out to the middle of the ocean, deep underground, high up the sky, into a volcano, stuff like that. I-..."
