"Please, I beg you, please leave me be." The man kneeled in front of the Herman. He was a test subject of the Herman. This man was a captured mage that stole resources from the magic tower. Herman didn't care, and continued his experiment. Mana around them started to move, and then it flowed into man, who struggled to fight against mana invading his body, but few moments later his body went limp. Dark mana escaped from his mouth, and floated towards Herman's body. Herman took that energy inside. He grabbed his head, but few moments later he started to laugh.
"HAHAHA. I'm beyond humans. I can absorb memories and skills of the living. " He then kneeled on the ground, and bashed his head against the ground multiple times." Oh, thank you, great one. I will be your loyal servant until the end of my life." Herman went for more test subjects.
....
"BOOM" Beast man was sent flying, his body was burned, and half of it was missing. The boss of the group looked fearfully at what was happening. Queen of Phoenix Kingdom, burned people alive, but didn't kill them. And the King of Dragon Kingdom cut off limbs of his people with his sword. Elizabeth was flying around, while shooting fireballs at enemies. She created cages of fire around them.
"Burn motherfuckers. Burn, you little shit." She lowered herself to the ground, and hit one beast man with her staff in the arm, that became ashes." That's for when I couldn't say anything against Jax." She kicked another beast man in the nuts." That's for having my marriage arranged against my will." Elizabeth started to list her grievances, while hitting more and more men. When the victims of Malcolm saw that, they were happy, that at least he, didn't torture his victims that much. Few minutes later everything ended. All beastmen were still alive, barely but alive.
"Did you let out all your anger?" Malcolm asked. Elizabeth let out the breath.
"No, but still it feels, a lot better. Jax is not at this level yet, if he was, I would beat him up a long time ago." She shook his head. Elizabeth used her magic to paralyse every soldier. She then gestured to Malcolm to begin. Malcolm took out the box. It was smaller than the one that created the hologram in front of the council. He walked towards one of the beastman. Half of beastman was burned away, Malcolm was able to see his skull. He put the box on the chest of the beastman. The edges of the box pull away from the box and became tiny pincers. The box walked towards where the heart of the soldier was located. It pierced the skin of beastman, and a moment later, he was dead. The pincers hid away.
"Did it work?" Malcolm nodded.
"Yeah it did. I can't see souls, but I felt how something moved from the body of that beastman into, the box." Then he walked towards other soldiers. Normally they would commit suicide, by beating some hidden poison, or destroying their hearts using aura or mana, but Elizabeth prevented all of it. 'You thought you can just kill yourself? You should be grateful, I just burned you. He would probably use something that you wouldn't use even on your nemesis.'
....
"It's nice to see my wife getting some anger off her chest. Also, it's good I wasn't around."
Jax smiled. He checked the progress of his experiments. And he frowned.
"Too slow. It's not like I can't force them, to act. I don't like doing that, but I don't have that much time. The more danger they face, the faster my research will go."
....
Somewhere deep in the woods, the beast opened its eyes.
...
"What should we do with the bodies?" Malcolm asked. Elizabeth wanted to reply, but something else gave the answer. Portal appeared next to them. And from it two beings appeared. They looked like humans, but their bodies were completely pale, and their faces devoid of all life. They couldn't tell if these creatures were male or female. Malcolm and Elizabeth discovered they don't have any life signature.
"What are they?" Malcolm asked.
"I don't know. They don't look have any life in them, it's like they are just empty husk." Elizabeth saw that these two creatures turned towards them, and bowed.
"My lady, we are here to take the bodies of deceased, by the older of our master and your husband." The voice was unnatural it didn't belong to man or woman, nor the child or the old. It was like an echo. They took the bodies through the portal, and when they took the last body the portal disappeared.
"How many secrets he has?" The creatures bothered Malcolm's mind. 'They aren't living, but also they aren't undead. They don't have any presence.'
"I don't know, and maybe it's better for us to just don't ask." Malcolm nodded in agreement.
"They will not announce that these people are missing. If they did, and said we killed them, they would confirm we were attacked. For now the best course of action is just to help countries that wants to make a deal."
"I agree. To be honest, I want to test, machines made by Jax." Elizabeth smiled. 'These are cars. I want to feel the air and everything, while driving at hundreds of km per hour.' The more knowledge Elizabeth gained about Earth, the more she wanted to experience all of it. And then out of nowhere, a portal appeared above her, and a rectangular shaped item fell out of it. Elizabeth took it and opened it. Malcolm was starting to become numb to this. 'I don't care any more. If he were to cut the world in half, I wouldn't be surprised.' Elizabeth's eyes went wide, when she opened it. 'Laptop! It looks like a laptop from Earth, and it even has QWERTY.' She then saw a note that was attached inside.
"Internet!" Elizabeth yelled. She clicked the start, and then saw an icon of the web browser. She didn't know much of English. But she knew few words, she searched the word love. She was happy when she saw it worked. She jumped from joy.
"Ekhem. We have a lot of tasks." Malcolm interrupted Elizabeth joy. Elizabeth was embarrassed.
This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.
"Ahh, yeah. Well let's for now go back to our countries." She wanted to try her new laptop as fast as she can.
...
"That should make her happy." Jax doesn't give people things for free, unless it's someone close to him. And Elizabeth is one of the closest people to him. He also had an additional reason. "In my free time, I will have someone to play games with. So it's win-win."
.....
Elizabeth was using her laptop at the palace.
"Hey. Can you put knowledge into my head?" Elizabeth asked the doll. When doll heard the question, it raised it head.
"Yeah it is possible, but I don't recommend it." It replied, and shook it head.
"I want it. Give me Jax knowledge about languages on earth." She demanded.
"Are you really sure?" Doll asked. Elizabeth nodded her head.
"I'm sure!" Doll jumped from the table, and climbed her bed. It then touched her forehead.
"It will be one of the worst feelings you can imagine." Doll said, after Elizabeth felt that something is entering her head. Doll created bucket in front of Elizabeth, and she started to vomit into it. Few moments later she passed out. Doll only shook it head.
"I told you. It will take while until she wakes up." Doll covered Elizabeth with the blanket.
....
Few weeks later, Elizabeth and Malcolm. Visited most of the countries, that wanted to make deal. Fortunately, kings and queens of these countries understood, that this deal was a small price. Always, when they sighed a deal with the country, a portal appeared and machines walked from it. Some of them were the same as those that dragged bodies. Some were in shape of giant spiders and more. Elizabeth said only one thing to Queens and kings.
"Ask these machines to do anything you want." First countries were uncertain, but when they asked machines to do something, they did that better than any of slave or worker. Although Jax created some limitation on them. He didn't want to cause entire country to run only on his machines, so every machine could only do simple tasks, and needed to be ordered. Thanks to that only the most dangerous or repetitive jobs were replaced by machines. It caused people to be happy, and allowed them to accept machines. When news spread, no one objected terms of contract. Until they arrived at Hydra Kingdom.
"They didn't rise their hands." Malcolm said.
"Yes, but if we want to take over Beast Federation, we need the leader to be on our side." Elizabeth said. Some time later they arrived at the palace of Enna. When they entered, they saw that Enna was sleeping on her throne. Elizabeth shook her head. 'How someone can be a leader like this?'
"Hey Enna!" Elizabeth yelled. Enna jumped from her sit, but when she saw that it was just Elizabeth and Malcolm she calmed down.
"Oh hey there. What's up?" She asked. Elizabeth shook her head.
"We want to make a deal with you."
"I don't want to." She said. Elizabeth wanted to say something, but she felt a sting on her forearm. She heard a voice in her head. 'Give it to Malcolm'. She transformed the device, back to its cube form, and gave it to Malcolm.
"Why do you give me that?"
"Don't ask, and just place it on your forearm." Elizabeth ordered. Malcolm placed it on his forearm, and then he held his head. Elizabeth saw he was shaking his head, as if he was talking to someone. 'What a weirdo' Enna thought. A few minutes later, Malcolm spoked.
"Alla dulo emha imbris" If Elizabeth didn't know Malcolm is a supreme swordsman, she would think he has a stroke, but what surprised her was the look on Enna face. She stopped playing, and her face turned serious.
"Are you sure about what you just say?" She asked, while the air became filled with threatening intent. Malcolm didn't flinch and nodded.
"Yes I am." He replied. Enna disappeared and appeared in before Malcolm. She punched him, but he redirected her punch. Elizabeth wanted to help, but Malcolm stopped her. "Don't intervene. It's my fight." He yelled. He attacked Enna using his sword, but she just punched his sword, which caused both of them flying away. Elizabeth covered herself in a protective shield. A few minutes later, Enna's body was covered in cuts, while Malcolm had internal bleeding and broken bones. Elizabeth wanted to ask what happened, but then she saw that box was back on her forearm. She sent her mana into it, and a minute later she received a message. Which caused her to laugh.
"Hahaha. Oh, my Gods. He will kill you, Hahaha. Oh my stomach, it hurts so much, but I can't stop laughing. Haha!" Elizabeth leaned against her barrier while laughing without being able to stop. Malcolm and Enna didn't see this, because they were focused on the fight. Enna transformed into her beast form. Enna was a hydra. In legends hydras could grow up to nine heads, but no one was able to do that, Enna was able to grow five heads, which was something extraordinary. Each of her heads had different power, and she could regenerate her heads with ease. Malcolm blocked or parried the attack of her fists, or legs. And now was protecting himself from the elemental breaths of her heads. 'Fuck, when you come back, you will make me a full pledged dragon.' Malcolm thought.
....
Hours later, Enna was laying on the remains of the palace, while breathing heavily in her human form. Two tattoos were gone, which means two heads were cut off. Malcolm was full of injuries, and even greater regeneration had problems with healing.
"So I won?" Malcolm struggled to stand, let alone talk. Fortunately, Malcolm's dragon blood and regeneration allowed him to not receive any permanent damage. Enna smiled and pounced on Malcolm. He wanted to protect himself, but he was too weak.
"My husband. I finally met you. I accept your proposal." She started hugging Malcolm. Malcolm was confused, but a moment later something clicked in his head. He was furious.
"JAX! YOU MOTHERFUCKER! I WILL RIP YOU TO SHREDS! DO YOU HEAR ME?! I PROMISE!" Malcolm yelled
