Endless Journey: Infinite Realms Chapter 634 Corruption

Chapter 634 Corruption

[ Alina ]: Oi Delia, how many days do we have left before we leave this world? I already lost count.
[ Delia ]: Tsk, we only have 1 day remaining before we will be forced to leave. How the hell did you not know that? Your manic professor just said that earlier!
[ Alina ]: Hah? Why do you sound like you're patronizing me, huh? I'm worried for Alex all this time, so don't expect me to think about anything else!
[ Delia ]: Yeah… I can see that you're really worried for him. When was the last time that you even ate? 1 week ago? 2 weeks ago?
[ Alina ]: Don't you dare say those words. It's just making me hungry.
[ Delia ]: Hmph, as if you even need to eat….
[ Alina ]: What did you say?
[ Delia ]: Nothing.
[ Alina]: ….
[ Delia ]: ….
Surprisingly, even though the two women held hostile feelings for each other, they appear to have accepted their differences at this point.
Sure, they are still raring to cut each other's throat, but the way that they talked to each other now was much better compared to before.
[ Delia ]: Oi Alina, you've been observing Alex's condition all this time, am I right?
[ Alina ]: Yes, I am doing that. What is it to you?
[ Delia ]: ….I am just curious on how his body holds up now.
[ Alina ]: What do you mean by that? Do you think that his body is close to breaking down? There's no way that can happen.
[ Delia ]: ??? Don't mess with me, Alina. I know that something wrong is happening with Alex's body.
[ Alina ]: ….
[ Delia ]: Even if you had quickly hidden Alex from our sights, and you banned anyone form seeing him, I know for a fact that Alex is undergoing something dangerous now.
[ Alina ]: ….
[ Delia ]: You said before that he was just in coma and was just using all this time to recover, right? Heh, I doubt that. With all the things that he had done in the fight against the Rainbow Dude, do you except me to believe that he will just rest?
[ Alina ]: ….
[ Delia ]: Come on, Alina. Alex is in coma for 7 months, and you think that I will still accept that he's sleeping? Hmph, there's no way that is the truth!
[ Alina ]: ….
[ Delia ]: So what is it then, Alina? Was Alex so injured that he's about to die, or did something happen to him that you did not want us to see? Hmm, maybe it is related to the-
[ Alina ]: Whatever is happening to him is something that you should not worry about. After all, he's-
[ Delia ]: Hah? You're saying that I should not worry? B***h, I may be Alex's ally now, but that does not mean that I will tolerate these secrets!
[ Alina ]: Whatever Alex is going through right now is not something that you can just meddle. So why don't you just stay there and guard him? If you try to look for Alex, his status might be in more danger….
At this point in time, the conversation between the two women became filled with tension again, as the aggrieved Delia began to question Alina's suspicious actions.
Such suspicion from Delia was acceptable, as what Alina did was really suspicious.
After all, why would Alina hide Alex from everyone right after he fell into a coma?
And why would Alina not allow even Professor Frances and Queen Mother to see Alex? They're his companion's for f**k's sake!
Even Alina herself did not visit Alex that much. She only visited him thrice during the 7-month period, and even those visits only lasted for a few minutes.
[ Delia ]: ….I don't get it. Why are you so deadset on hiding Alex from us? What is happeing to him? Is it so bad that you don't want anyone else seeing him? Is that the reason why you haven't left his side ever since?
[ Alina ]: …
[ Delia ]: …
No matter which way Alina tried to explain herself, it was already obvious that she was hiding something about Alex's condition.
As for what it is, Delia found herself wanting to know about it today.
[ Delia ]: Since he had helped me, of course I should do something to help Alex. But if you will not tell me about his condition, how would I be able to assist him?
[ Alina ]: ….
[ Delia ]: … Come on, Alina! Remember what you said earlier. There's only one day left before we were forced to leave! Do you know what that means? That means there's only one day left before I can know what is happening to Alex. With that kind of limited time, how the hell can I help him? Will I just allow him to-
[ Alina ]: Just like what I said earlier, there' no need for you to worry about Alex. Why would you even worry about him? Once our time in this world is done, you and your Companions will be sent to a different world. You will be separated from us, so technically speaking there's no need for you to worry for us.
[ Delia ]: But-
[ Alina ]: Delia, I appreciate your initiative to guard for Alex. Even if I want to beat you up, I am still happy that you're here to aid me. But that's the best that I can accept. Any more intrusive aids at this point will not be accepted by me anymore. So please, just give up on observing Alex.
[ Delia ]: …
[ Alina ]: ….
[ Delia ]: …
[ Alina ]: ….
[ Delia ]: …
[ Alina ]: ….
The two women stared at each loftily at this pont, with each one of them unleashing powerful stares that are enough to make anyone feel fear.
Even the companions of these two women will feel fear too, as Alina and Delia looked like they were about to destroy everything.
This led to another tense situation, as a hint of a possible fight could possibly break out of the two women.
Fortunately, the irritated Delia withdrew her stare with a sigh, effectively ending the silent confrontation between the two.
[ Delia ]: You're right, Alina. We're about to have separate paths in the future, so why would I even worry about you and Alex? We're just temporary allies, so what happens to Alex should not really be my worry.
[ Delia ]: I am only guarding Alex now since I owe him one. But just like what you said, there's no need for me to observe him anymore….
[ Alina ]: … Good. At least now you understood me.
[ Delia ]: ….
Because of Alina's extreme willingness to hide Alex, even the irritated Delia found herself at loss on what to do.
She was still interested on seeing Alex, but because of Alina's extreme insistence to hide him, Delia felt that pushing matters right now won't be of any help to her.
Instead, Delia had the inkling that if she really tries to see Alex right now, Alina might resort to some drastic actions just to stop her….
Delia would not want that happening now, especially since she's about to go into a different world.
[ Delia ]: I did not understand your logic Alina. I was just exasperated by it, to the point that I do not believe you. But since you looked like you will do everything just to prevent me from seeing Alex, I have decided to not observe him anymore. Doing so will just weaken me, which is not good since I am about to go into a different world.
[ Delia ]: Tsk, you really are a-
[ Alina ]: Watch out!
"Gryaaa!!!!"
The conversation between Alina and Delia, which was as harmonious as it could possibly be, was suddenly cut off when a monstrous, malicious aura covered the area around the women.
"Gryaaa!!!!"
The appearance of this aura was accompanied by a loud, pained shriek, one which was enough to make Alina and Delia feel fear.
[ Alina ]: Argh!
[ Delia ]: Argh!
Aside from fear, both Alina and Delia displayed emotions of panic too, as they realized that the malicious aura was actually suppressing both of them right now!
Such feeling was enough to made even the serious Delia worried, as she now knew that something big is about to happen again!
[ Delia ]: What the hell is this aura, Alina? How come it suddenly just appeared here? You owe me an explanation!
[ Alina ]: Tsk, I don't have time for your questions! Why don't you just focus on surviving first, huh?
[ Delia ]: You-
"Gryaa!!!"
Before the two women could bicker again, the malicious aura above them continued to intensify, eventually reaching the point where the two women had to do their best just to resist it.
[ Alina ]: Argh!!!
[ Delia ]: Argh!!!
This aura appeared with so much maliciousness, that both women heard countless whispers inside their minds, all which were urging them to do evil actions.
Alina and Delia were able to ignore all these whispers, although their pale faces showed how much effort they have to exert just to push these voices at the back of their minds.
[ Alina ]: Argh!!!
[ Delia ]: Argh!!!
Eventually, the effects of these whispers and the suppression of the aura reached to the point that Alina and Delia found themselves unable to take it anymore.
[ Alina ]: Argh!!!
[ Delia ]: Argh!!!
Because of this, Delia found her rationality slipping away as time passed by.
But before her mind could fully give in to the maddening whispers, she suddenly discovered something wrong about her situation, one which was enough to rouse her.
[ Delia ]: What the f**k is this? Why is my mind being corrupted like this? I am an angel, someone that should not be corrupt- Wait, corruption? Isn't this… an effect of an Abyss Monster that had reached Transcendence? Why would it happen here, where there is no Transcendence Abyss Monster present?
Delia appeared as if she was about to break free from the whispers, but for some kind reason, her almost-calm face suddenly changed.
[ Delia ]: Abyss… Transcendence … Corruption…. Wait. Aren't those things related to Alex? Since that was the case, then… f***k!!!!!!
Instead of seeing a struggling face, what could be seen on Delia right now was an extremely angry expression, one which was enough to unnerve even the still-struggling Alina.
This angry expression was so livid, that the nearby Alina could say that this was the angriest expression that Delia had ever shown in her life.
This made Delia look as if she became crazy, but that was not really the case.
Delia was just extremely angry right now, something that she did not hesitate to show.
Why would Delia feel this angry? Well, it was because she discovered something that was enough to make her so enraged.
As for what this discovery was, the next words uttered by Delia made it apparent.
[ Delia ]: Alina! You… you scum! How dare you hide the fact that Alex was 'Corrupted' by the Abyss? You clearly knew it, and yet you did not tell it to us? How could you? This is the Abyss we're talking about!
