Yet she remained silent and didn't speak at all. Arthur also remained silent while the world around the two was coming to its end.
Monsters and mages regrouped again and attacked the two from literally everywhere. Aemie acted like before, one sword swing and it was all solved.
That made Arthur wonder what if she stayed on his side and fought with him to stop the portal. He also wondered if she came here to stand on their side and protect the portal.
And the latter thought made him shiver inwardly from fear and despair.
'Ding! You have a clue. Just tell her that…' the system kept speaking despite the fact that Aemie could sense his presence.
At such a critical moment, it was no use for any of them to keep their cautiousness and not help Arthur.
The latter listened carefully to the system's words before he finally understood what he was speaking about.
And finally he opened his mouth and calmly gave her his anwer.
"She is aiming to destroy this world using whatever is inside that portal," Arthur slowly said.
"Nonsense," Aemie's face turned so cold, "you are bluffing."
"I'm not!" yet Arthur wasn't fazed by her terrifying aura.
Even the mages and monsters around got scared and didn't dare to come near her, like she was the monster and they were simply ants.
"Then tell me how did you know about this portal's threat in the first place?" she seemed on the verge to attack and kill him, yet she calmly crossed her arms on her chest.
She was so confident in killing him at any moment she wanted, and so she spoke to him as if she was speaking to a dead man already.
"Her behavior with you made me think that way," Arthur slowly said before adding, "I watched the fight between the two of you. She was burning her life force in exchange for gaining extreme power."
"She has to burn each ounce of her strength to fight on par with me," Aemie shrugged as this was nothing worthy of her attention, "is that all you got?" she asked while narrowing her eyes.
Arthur felt he had one leg already passing the door of death. Aemie's look gave him the impression that the scythe of death was already over his neck. One single push and his head would fly off his body.
"She can run away using this," Arthur slowly said, "didn't it ever occur to you to wonder why she remained behind and didn't run away?"
The moment he said those words, Aemie's face changed and her eyes grew wider. "She… was trying to keep me busy…" she tried to come up with a reason against his logic.
"She was trying to buy time," Arthur corrected, "she didn't care anymore about her life. And hell she could be caring about anyone in this world, including her daughter."
The moment Arthur brought Nicole to the table, Aemie regained her dangerous vibe once more. "How do you know this portal is the root of this threat?"
"By two ways…" Arthur raised his hand and showed two fingers before adding one more, "three actually."
"Then tell…" Aemie's face didn't change yet her voice grew colder with each word.
"First there was the strange act of those forces around," Arthur knew he was getting her on the path he desired, so his worry started to grow thinner with each word he said.
"They acted in a defensive way to protect this portal at all cost. Hell, this meat dam and strange dome is proof that this portal holds something significant to this war."
"Not enough reason for me," Aemie shrugged, yet her tone lost a lot of its coldness and aggressiveness.
"Second," Arthur didn't care to reason himself for the first point, before adding the next one, "your presence here."
His words made her raise an eyebrow. "What about that?" she slowly asked.
"I bet she manipulated you to come, played you to waver and forget what role you should play here."
His words were harsh and daring. He even hesitated in saying them yet he decided to not falter. If he wanted to come out unscathed, he had to cross all boundaries and not fear what he would say.
Words were a lethal weapon if not used properly, and the ultimate protective tools if used properly.
She didn't speak and only nodded for him to continue.
"She knew I was so close to get to the portal. In fact I'm ready to sacrifice myself for that cause, but what about you?"
"What about me?" Aemie asked in a light way as if she was taking his words as a silly joke.
"You lost your compass cauldron clan grandmaster," Arthur coldly said, "you should put the wellbeing of everyone here on top of everything, even your life. But here you are, standing between me and saving your people, and for what?"
"Shut up!"
This time Aemie couldn't take his words anymore and screamed in extreme rage. She lost her composure and with it a deadly pulse of energy erupted out of her, expanding fast, so fast all around.
And in no time it reached Arthur before passing towards the dam and the portal and hit them both.
"Boom!"
The explosion that occurred was so brutal that a cloud of dust appeared for hundreds of meters above their heads. Yet Arthur remained unscathed with that attack.
And it wasn't thanks for Aemie's mercy, but for Gege's timely intervention to take him away in her portal before returning him back in a fraction of second.
"You… aren't less trustworthy or honest than her," Aemei saw all that happened and her face grew colder.
"At least I'm on your side," Arthur calmly said, "not trying to kill every single one in this world, including your life and the lives who are so dear to you."
Aemie seemed to unleash hell upon him at any second, yet her body trembled in front of his eyes. She was struggling, struggling to keep her calm and composure.
Struggling to keep herself true to her beliefs and responsibilities.
"What's your… third reason?" she asked with great difficulty as if listening to him was a torture to her.
