Chapter 229 229 – Conflict
Nick looked at the table with a crestfallen expression.
A Fallen.
An Adversary.
Level seven and level eight Specters were the biggest enemies of humanity.
One would think that the Eternals would be the true enemies, but it wasn't as simple as that.
While the Eternals did whatever they wanted, many of the Adversaries actually tried to eradicate all of humanity.
This difference in mindset and action could be compared to how an aggressive animal would treat its territory.
If something of a similar size or slightly smaller size entered its territory, the animal would aggressively defend its territory and kill the invader.

However, if something vastly smaller and weaker than it entered its territory, it would mostly just ignore it. nove.lb/In
After all, that thing was no danger whatsoever.
Rats would kill other rats, but they wouldn't care about a tiny fruit fly. In the same way, the Adversaries were far more aggressive towards humanity than the Eternals.
The Eternals just did their thing and terrorized humanity like it was a small hobby or a daily chore.
Meanwhile, the Adversaries actually wanted to attack and destroy humanity since the seven level eight Extractors in the world could fight and kill them.
Even more, if the level eight Extractors managed to capture an Adversary, they could attempt to use the Adversary to become level nine Extractors.
Because of that, Adversaries were more of a direct threat to humanity, while the Eternals just represented an inevitable rule of nature.
And now, a servant of one of these Adversaries had set Nick as its target.
Envy.
A Fallen.
A level seven Specter.
It was stronger than any Specter in the city.
It was stronger than any human in the city.
If it were to appear at this instant, all of Crimson Fungus City would be doomed.
The only possibility of survival would be the Heroes uniting and fighting Envy in a group.
However, there was still a huge gap between them, most likely.
Nick wasn't sure, but he assumed that Envy wasn't an Initial Fallen but stronger.
"Nick," Aria said, taking Nick out of his thoughts. "Envy isn't interested in you. You're only a level two Extractor. We're all in this together."
Nick looked at Aria.
