Re:Immortal

Chapter 157

The mood around the table was grim. All those present had a dark face, even Lacess the lazy lion had his eyes open as a grim air seemed to surround him.

The room was silent as everyone was currently trying to digest the information that Dina had just brought. At first, they had a hard time believing her, Omis for one found it to be almost ridiculous that an entity that was not considered Immortal could have such a high damage output and great battle prowess.

Yet he had no choice but to acknowledge this as a fact when Dina brought out the corpse of a fallen master 'Hunter' and using the orb on it. The silver light was like a hammer that fell on his chest, the 'hunter' was most definitely a 'mortal'.

A part of him thought if it was truly a good idea to share this information with the 'Hive'. Although they had just fought together, nothing was for certain in this world. There was no such thing as eternal friends especially not when they were essentially just forced to fight alongside one another due to their special circumstances.

On the other hand, they were bound to know. Hiding the news might not necessarily be a good thing either. At the moment an even larger threat loomed over their heads, a threat that forced them to be united.

And until that threat was resolved, the two factions had no other options but to rely on one another to survive. A frown made its way to Omis's eyes as his mind spun thinking of various options and possibilities, his eyes suddenly lit up as he remembered something.

"Dina!" He abruptly called out breaking the heavy silence in the room.

"En?" Dina raised her head to look at him with a questioning look.

"How good are you at extracting information from people?" He asked with a grin.

"Tsk should just let me do it instead I tell you." Adding clicked his tongue and muttered under his breath as he seemed to understand what Omis wanted to do.

"Extracting...information?" Dina repeated his question with an even more confused expression.

"Mister Omis, you mean you want to let the job to the 'alchemist'?" Asked Krano with a frown. He seemed unconvinced, and rightfully so, Dina was not a God realm cultivator. Although Krano appeared to be easygoing when dealing with Omis, he was still the leader of the 'Hive' and was extremely proud, the only reason he treated Omis, Addi, and Tizzy with respect was due to their strength.

For him, anyone who was not at the God realm did not have the qualifications to speak to him on equal terms, hence he would usually not bother with such people.

Although the 'alchemist' had quite the reputation even amongst the 'Hive' her personal strength was still lacking, hence Krano was feeling a bit skeptical about the entire thing.

"Trust me on this one mister Krano." Omis's smile did not leave his face as he replied with confidence before turning to look at Dina who still had a confused look on her face.

"We just so happened to have been able to catch a few outsiders. They don't seem to belong to the 'Hunters' faction, so they are our only source of information since we have no idea what the world is like outside our realm." Explained Omis. He gave Dina a few seconds to absorb the information before continuing.

"No one here can be considered that experienced when it comes to 'extracting' Information, Addi volunteered but I'm afraid he'd just end up killing our only source of information before getting anything useful out of them." He added with a shake of his head, Addi on the other hand simply harrumphed and rolled his eyes in annoyance yet refrained from saying anything.

Dina's eyes widened as she muttered to herself. "Outsiders!" She raised her head to look at Omis and asked.

"Could they also be the same as the master 'Hunters'?" She asked with a low voice.

"Only one way to find out." Tizzy was the one to reply as he motioned towards the orb with his chin.

At that, the eyes of everyone present seemed to shine with anticipation and curiosity. Could it be possible that the locked outsiders are also considered nothing but mere mortals?

"Wait, I still have this." Omis suddenly spoke up. He quietly waved his hand over the table causing a corpse of one of the disciples who were present on the boat to suddenly appear on top of the giant round table.

"This?" Dina muttered, her eyes seemed to shine as she glanced at the corpse of a young man, traces of blood seeping out of his pores were still visible.

"He was one of those present alongside the surviving Outsiders." Answered Omis.

Nodding, Dina carefully brought the orb closer to the corpse her hands steady as she hovered it above the body, seconds later a bright silver light rushed out confirming their suspicions, the corpse indeed belonged to a mortal.

"Well, i'll be damned." Muttered Addi.

"Let us go, we still have a lot of questions that need to be answered." Said Krano with a grim expression.

Soon, the group made their way back towards the underground dungeons where the two captives were held. Dina glanced at them from outside of their cells with gleaming eyes.

"How fascinating, they look the same as us." She mumbled.

"A child?" Unconsciously muttered the man who was bound to the wall, as he raised his head and glanced at Dina with a frown.

Hearing him refer to her as a child, Dina's lips twitched as she glanced at him with a forced smile. "Say dear, mind telling us why you were spying on us and what brings you here?" She asked.

"Hmph." The man simply harrumphed and refrained from speaking. The lady who was bound to the wall in the cell next to him had her eyes closed as if she refused to acknowledge their presence.

"So what do you think Dina, can you get them to talk?" Asked Omis.

Dina glanced back at him and replied with a savage toothy grin that seemed unnatural on her cute childlike face. "Piece of cake."

"You can stay and watch if you like." She added before bringing out a large bag from her spatial storage.

Mace who was standing at the back stood up and spoke. "I'll pass, I need a drink." He said with a shake of his head before leaving.

Rolus the monster butler suddenly clapped his hands causing chairs to appear behind everyone who was left. The alchemist was about to start her work, and it was bound to be a good show.
