Chapter 74: Dark Valkyrie's thoughts
The Dark Valkyrie had been following the group relentlessly for the whole day. Arabel, who, like herself, was a Valkyrie, especially attracted her attention.
However, something was wrong, and she couldn't figure out what it was.
Her bloodline clearly told her that this was a Valkyrie, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't detect any signs of their race in her.
Even when Valkyries disguise themselves as members of other races, they cannot hide their true identity from other Valkyries.
She herself was a Valkyrie of the "Legendary" rank, and all Valkyries below her could not hide from her eyes and Soul Force.
Even in this strange place called Limbo, where her rank was suppressed to the lowest realm, no other Valkyrie could hide her true identity while she was below her.
But for some inexplicable reason, she couldn't see the true nature of this Valkyrie.
It was only then that she remembered the rumors she had heard about this girl and the guy who was almost always by her side.
She came to Limbo's third city to find the couple and verify the truth of the rumors. Unlike other outsiders, she was attracted by simple curiosity.
She knew that this strange and separate world had its own consciousness, but due to her rank, the element of darkness, and abilities, she could easily hide from his gaze.
From conversations with locals and other outsiders, she found out that this couple appeared in this world differently from the others, and that they came from another world other than Junonia. Although Limbo is considered a separate small world, it still belongs to Junonia.
This was indisputable, because all the inhabitants of Limbo and everything in this world belongs to Junonia.
Looking at Arabel, she began to become convinced that the rumors were true, and with a high probability this Valkyrie really came from another world.
A guy in a mask also caught her attention. She was amazed to see the wounds on his body, and especially the pendant he wore around his neck. She was familiar with such jewelry. In addition, she felt the presence of a piece of soul inside the pendant, which once again confirmed its authenticity.
It was a pendant that Valkyries usually gave to their partners. This young man with terrible injuries was the partner of one of her sisters. And even though he was related to another Valkyrie, she had no intention of harming him.
Although there were some of her sisters who didn't get along with each other and constantly tried to find ways to annoy each other by targeting each other's partners, she wasn't one of them.
As for Idan, she wasn't particularly interested in him. She only noticed him because he was apparently close to this Valkyrie and, according to rumors, also came from another world. However, his value in her eyes was small compared to Arabel's.
As for the elf and the other two members of their group, she didn't notice them at all.
After making sure that everyone except the couple was asleep, she decided to make contact with Valkyrie and chat with her for a while.
She wanted to satisfy her curiosity and try her luck. If this Valkyrie really is from another world, perhaps she has a solution to a problem she couldn't solve in her own world.
Compared to everyone in the group, she was already so strong that if she wanted to, she could just kidnap this Valkyrie. However, she hesitated to use force out of respect for her Valkyrie bloodline. Besides, she remembered the words she had given the elf in the Adventurer's Guild, that she would not lay a hand on her disciples.
She was just curious.
At this time, Arabel and Eulalia were talking through a mental link.
"So, tell me, do you like Idan?" suddenly asked Eulalia.
Arabel was taken aback. She had just been talking about herself, when suddenly Eulalia started discussing her relationship with Idan.
"I, I do not know," Arabel said uncertainly.
After all the events that had happened to them, Arabel began to feel a certain interest in Idan. She no longer perceived him as an outsider and wanted to learn more about him. She didn't know what love was, and she couldn't figure out if she was in love.
After what had happened to them, Arabel still couldn't shake the idea that their relationship was only possible because of the System. If it wasn't for the System, they would never have met, and this created a kind of psychological barrier between them.
The situation became even more complicated after the ascension trial.
Their complementary bloodlines were obtained through the System. They got even closer, but again due to the interference of the System. Arabel didn't know what to make of it.
On the one hand, when she considered the issue from the point of view of her upbringing and family values, she was not against Idan. But looking at the situation with her own desires, she wasn't sure. Given this chance, she wanted to make decisions on her own, without outside interference.
That's why she hesitantly answered Eulalia's question.
When she heard Arabel's reply and noticed her confused look, she just sighed. It was obvious that she liked Idan, but they were both so awkward and insecure. She understood that they needed a good push in their relationship to finally accept each other.
Although she would like to help them, she decided not to interfere and just watch them. Perhaps in this campaign they will be able to take a step forward and overcome their doubts.
The Dark Valkyrie, who was watching them, despite her strength, could not even catch a hint that the two women were talking to each other.
This was the feature of the Pair System. Their ability wasn't based on the Soul Force that stronger beings could detect. Only those skilled in mental strength could grasp the System's ability, "Mental link".
"Little sister, come to a small clearing that is not far north of your camp. Let's talk like a Valkyrie to a Valkyrie. Come alone." With that, the Dark Valkyrie used the Soul Force to send a message to Arabel, and only she could hear it.
What do you think?
