Alexia

The two of us simply move straight past the soldiers without paying them any mind other than my initial observation of their fear, going into the city without pause. And even as we pass through, or rather, above the city streets, everyone we pass by looks at us both with terror in their eyes.

But I can’t help but notice something.

It’s not just terror.

I also find respect in their gaze. Awe.

Which quickly makes me realize that the people living in this Block don’t just fear Lucas.

They also respect and are in awe of his power.

Understandable, I guess. Considering that he has one of the most powerful Legendary Feat bonuses in existence.

One granting him complete immunity to magic.

Although my racial skill is a nice boost to my own power as well, just like his Legendary Feat bonus. Even if they aren’t quite even.

What with mine having a downside and not a complete one hundred percent immunity but an eighty percent immunity instead.

But it might as well be a complete immunity at this point, especially considering that my gear raises it to a ninety percent immunity to physical damage.

Certainly makes it amusing to see sometimes. Like when some of those Cataclysm Class monsters focusing on physical strength tried to punch me, only to realize that all they managed to do was a tiny scratch. Especially considering the sheer difference in size between us.

I’m still pretty sure the bizarreness of seeing a giant gorilla whose index finger is larger than my head punching me with their massive fist only to barely bruise me was enough to shock some of the bystanders back there out of their fear of me for a split second.

It was hilarious.

And the weakness to magic is already gone as well thanks to items.

Items are great. They make the world go round.

Anyways, me and Lucas continue moving through his city until we arrive at the massive theatre. And Lucas doesn’t bother with the front entrance, instead landing on a balcony and walking inside. So I follow suit while ignoring the guards staring up at us in shock from the front entrance beneath us. Not to mention the guards standing on the sides of the balcony.

Stolen story; please report.

Or rather, staring at me in shock. They don’t so much as look twice at Lucas.

Guess he does this a lot.

“I have something I need to deal with inside first, but I’ll take you to look at my house after that,” Lucas says with a glance at me as I follow him through the upper floors of the theatre building. And he turns to face forwards again after seeing me nod.

We continue walking through the building for a couple minutes, going through one nearly empty hallway after another, only rarely running into people in the process. People who instantly bow towards Lucas, who proceeds to ignore them.

Interesting.

After one last hallway though, we both emerge into a large balcony over some sort of grand theatre. A circular one with a stage at the center. But instead of some play or something there, there’s a round table with chairs all around it and people seated on the chairs.

Meanwhile, at the back of the theatre is one singular throne that stands out as it’s the only part of the sitting area around the table that isn’t like a regular theatre.

There’s also a staircase going up towards it.

Almost like it’s meant for the ruler of the nation.

Which is probably exactly what it’s meant for.

Also, Lucas doesn’t hesitate to slam the door to the balcony shut after I pass through it, making the gazes of the dozens of people having a meeting around the chair instantly turn towards us. And just as quickly, they all turn towards me and grow slightly fearful.

During our trip to the capital itself, we spoke about whether I want people to know my relation to Lucas. And in the end, we both decided to keep that little detail hidden for now.

At least until I’ve earned more of a name for myself across the Dimensional Blocks that having an infamous biological father won’t make my already scary reputation even worse.

Of course, I don’t particularly care if someone reveals it or something in an attempt to hurt my reputation.

Couldn’t care less.

I think this is mostly just Lucas’s attempt to not hurt me in any way through his name.

So it comes as no surprise to me when he floats down to a few meters above the round table and declares, “We have now entered into a mutual alliance with The Reaper. Treat her as you would me.”

Too bad it’s not the same for the people surrounding the table. Since they’re all absolutely shocked when they hear his words.

I wouldn’t be too surprised if a lot of them probably assumed I would end up fighting with Lucas at some point in the future.

So to suddenly hear that we’ve become such close allies is probably, well, shocking.

Lucas looks around at the gathered people with a frown on his face, making shivers run through the lot of them, clear to my eye. Then he flies upwards again before heading towards the door without looking back.

I glance at the people around the table who all still look rather shocked, only to give a mental shrug and just follow after the Hound of the Apocalypse without a word. Quickly beginning to make my way through the halls again until we both leave the building and begin heading towards a massive mansion on one end of the island far from any other buildings.

Guess he likes solitude.

Once we arrive, I notice a few people in the building. Some of whom appear to be cleaning, but one is currently heading outside of the building as if to meet us.

And when she steps outside, I realize she’s a vampire.

One who begins to speak normally with Lucas once she sees him, apparently not noticing me yet.

Interesting.

Wonder who this lady is?
