System's POV

Chapter 966: You’re Just An Extra, You Know?

Two days after the fight between the Skavari and the Marten ended…

Krag stood with his arms crossed over his chest as he stared hatefully at the teenage boy in front of him.

Princess Laventia stood not far from the Skavari Commander. However, her focus wasn't on the teenage boy whom she had agreed to meet.

Her gaze was focused on the beautiful lady standing a meter behind Zion.

"So you're still alive?" Princess Laventia asked Princess Aracelle, whom Zion had brought with him. "I thought that you've already become monster poop by now."

Princess Aracelle didn't even bother to reply and completely ignored the Succubus Princess, making the latter curse her in her heart.

"Where is the Prince?" Krag asked, doing his best to keep the anger from leaking into his voice. "You better not be toying with us, Zion Leventis!"

The Skavari Commander didn't even try to hide his killing intent, which was exuding from his body.

Clearly, Zorren's death was something that he wouldn't be able to accept so easily.

"Your Prince is here, of course," Thirteen replied.

A moment later, Khan, who was a Rank 8 Sovereign, suddenly appeared behind Zion, catching everyone by surprise.

They also noticed it was carrying the Skavari Prince, who looked very relieved that he was about to be freed from his suffering.

"You're free now," Thirteen said to Prince Zorren. "Make sure to tell your siblings and your father not to mess with me again in the future, okay?"

Prince Zorren didn't give any reply and simply hurried to Krag's side as if his tail was on fire.

After securing the prince's safety, Krag checked his body for injuries. He had seen how Zion had repeatedly skinned and healed his Prince during the live broadcast, and even now, he had no idea how the teenage boy had done such a thing.

A healing ability of that level could only be used by the Veltharim Race, whom they refer to as the Fallen Angels of Gomorra.

"It's your turn now, Princess Laventia," Thirteen said to the succubus princess, who visibly flinched after hearing his voice.

Seeing her reaction, a faint smile appeared on Princess Aracelle's face, as if she found it quite amusing.

Not wanting to embarrass herself further, she summoned her Nightkiss Moth, whom Thirteen had asked for.

"Are you sure you're not going to harm my subordinate?" Princess Laventia asked.

"I won't," Thirteen promised. "In fact, I assure you—your pet will have a very comfortable stay during his time with me."

The Nightkiss Moth's eyes locked onto the teenage boy, who was being protected by Khan and Princess Aracelle.

It felt really reluctant to willingly follow the teenage boy's orders, but Khan, who was a Rank 8 Sovereign, was giving off a pressure that made it stop thinking of doing something reckless.

A giant pithole then appeared a distance away from where the teenage boy was standing. If one looked at it from above, all they would see was darkness with no light in sight.

"Get inside that pit," Thirteen ordered. "Don't worry. You won't be harmed."

The Moth begrudgingly obeyed and flew down into the darkness.

What it didn't know was that Giga and the Ogres were there waiting to beat the crap out of it before sending it to the Domain of the Apocalypse.

A loud screech emerged from the pit, making Princess Laventia's face turn pale.

"You said that you wouldn't hurt it!" Princess Laventia complained.

"You're right." Thirteen nodded. "Do you see me hurting it? I'm right here, standing in front of you."

"Y-You deceived me!" Princess Laventia said angrily, making Krag sneer at her for being a naive princess.

"Don't worry. Just like Prince Zorren, we will return your Moth to you without any injuries on its body," Thirteen stated. "We're just making sure it won't do anything funny before we bring it back to our base. It's still a Rank 7 Sovereign, while I'm just a weak Rookie. Do you even know how easily I'd die if that thing spat on me?"

"Nightkiss Moths don't spit."

"Exactly."

Thirteen nodded, which further infuriated the Princess.

But before she could even say more, the teenage boy raised his hand, gesturing that she stop.

"Our business is done, so I'll be taking my leave," Thirteen said. "All of you should lie low for now until your reinforcements arrive. The real fun will begin then."

"You sound so confident, and yet, will you still be here on this continent when our forces cross over to this side?" Krag asked in disdain.

"I will," Thirteen replied. "It wouldn't be fun otherwise, no?"

"You really talk big." Krag scoffed. "I'm really looking forward to seeing your expression when the Skavari annihilate everything you hold dear in this world."

"I'm also looking forward to seeing where your confidence is coming from," Thirteen replied.

"If the Skavari are that strong, then it would have already ruled the entirety of Gomorra long ago. You can't even fully eliminate the Martens, so why are you talking as if you're the strongest faction here?"

Thirteen's voice was filled with greater disdain and contempt than Krag's, making the Skavari Commander speechless.

It wasn't able to refute the teenage boy's words because it was true.

"I'll remember this," Krag said before taking Prince Zorren away.

"That's what all third-rate villains say," Thirteen said. "Also, you shouldn't be saying those words. You're just an extra, you know?"

Krag had no idea what the teenage boy was talking about, nor did he care. He simply signalled for his people to leave the place as soon as possible.

The Skavari were still thinking that this might be a trap to finish them off. Fortunately, Thirteen had no intention of dealing with them right now because he wanted Kesari to return to the Skavari Headquarters safely.

He even asked Zed to guard the Skavari from the sky, just in case the Marten Race had gotten wind of their plan to retrieve their prince.

Princess Laventia, who had also brought her subordinates with her for her own safety, decided to ask Princess Aracelle a question.

"Are you his prisoner?" Princess Laventia asked.

"Yes and no," Princess Aracelle replied.

"What does that mean?" Princess Laventia inquired.

Princess Aracelle shook her head, which was her way of telling the princess that she had no intention of continuing the conversation.

Since the princess of House Pavareth refused to answer her question, Princess Laventia shifted her attention to Zion.

"If possible, I don't want to become your enemy," Princess Laventia said. "But I am not the one who calls the shots for the Velmoria Royal Family.

"I understand," Thirteen replied. "You're just an extra as well, so don't push yourself too hard, okay?"

"E-extra?" Princess Laventia asked. "What do you mean?"

"Don't worry about it," Thirteen replied. "Behave, and don't mess with me again. As long as you obey, I'll spare your life if we ever meet on the battlefield again."

Without another word, he held Princess Aracelle's hand, and both of them vanished out of thin air, making the Succubus Princess and her subordinates look at the spot where the pair originally stood with dumbfounded looks on their faces.
