Chapter 495 Niki, Carbon Copy
'It's time to see where the fuck are these witches hiding.' After he got the break that he need. Fein finally stood up from the ground, which attracted his friend's attention.
Aoi, Sofia, and Voli looked at each other with tacit understanding. The thought of fighting a strong opponent gave them pressure. 'It is finally time?'
Fein used his perception and directed it underground. The physical matter couldn't stop his perception, it immediately spread until it reached thousands of meters below the ground. To the point that he saw traces of magma, minerals, fossils, and coals. But nothing about the witch organization's base or any trace of the entrance. 'Fuck this! Did Lionel and Derke fool me?'
As his face was about to become ugly, he felt a familiar feeling register itself to his perception. He didn't know why, he couldn't sense it earlier... But as his perception immediately locked the familiar feeling.
Then Fein saw it! The entire underground has flowing blue energy. It was eight hundred meters in length and width. Now, Fein finally, why it was familiar... It was the law of space! He couldn't sense it earlier because the space element in the underground had a higher level than his understanding, so it took time.
Fein's eyes lit up suddenly. 'Lucky!'
"Don't disturb me, okay? I have something to do first and it might take fifteen days. Just take out the foods in your storage space for the time being when you get hungry." Fein immediately sat in a meditative position and began to focus his perception on the vast, rich blue energy.
Since there's a source of a space element in the underground, he couldn't let the opportunity slip into his head! He has to take advantage of it and improve his understanding of space. Even if it delays his goal for days, it would be worth it!
...
"Your sit, It was detected that a man manage to sense the entrance of our base underground. Should we take action and solve him?"
In a room filled with mosses and ancient text, seven women are bowing to another woman dressed in a purple robe. Around them, there are four giant gargoyles. They had ugly faces, dark ink pupils, two horns, a muscular physique, pale-white bloodless skin, and wings similar to a bat.
Such a scary creature acted like a guard around the woman in a purple robe who sat on a throne made of bones.
"Hmmm... This sit is curious as to who this capable person is. To be able to sense the elemental technique, Lord Niki used. It seems an intruder with space capabilities has arrived this time. This is troublesome." The woman in the purple robe had an ugly expression. 'Who is it? Is he finding trouble with us or he just accidentally wandered into our territory and happened to sense our base?'
The woman in a purple robe is also the leader of the Order of the Witches who have lived for millennia. Erica, Sunshine, Kyla, and other thousands of aliases that she has used in her life. Due to this, she doesn't believe in coincidences. She knew that the man's purpose should be for them. And she understood the other party was at least an S-rank to be able to sense the space force.
For a possible enemy that wields space element. Erica was apprehensive because of this. In her entire life, the only space user that she knew was Niki and a terrible guy from Central Plains.
"Quick, look at the guy's appearance and describe it to me!" Erica looked at her subordinates and ordered.
She wants to see if the guy that was above their entrance was the one in the Central Plains or another guy.
"Yes, you sit." The six witches bowed, one after the other. Then the six of them walked to a blue crystal ball lying on a shiny stone that has an eye pattern design on its center.
"Zuzo, elesiyo, meryenda, gorururu!X4"
The group of witches opened their mouths, crazy murmurings came out from their mouths as they made various gestures with their hands on top of the crystal ball. When suddenly, the crystal ball became hazy, then it projected a real-time image.
Erica looked at the image projected by the crystal ball. She saw a long, white-haired man, with almost perfect facial features, sitting in a meditative position on the ground with his eyes closed.
As soon as Erica saw the man, her body shook intensely. 'How could this be!? This man?? Who is this!??'
She became confused for a while that she ignored the strange lineup of golden bear, purple phoenix, and woman in the background. Her eyes were still fixed on the man's face with an incredulous expression.
'How is this possible?' Erica was very familiar with the face as she was fascinated by the same face her whole life. The only difference was, the guy have long white hair which wasn't in line with the picture in his mind.
However, the rest, such as the facial feature, frame, physique, and other aspects were perfectly similar and she couldn't even see the difference.
'This isn't Niki? But who is it!? Does Niki have a long-lost brother?? No, that's not right. Niki is an only child.' Erica denied her speculation, as she knew more than anyone about Niki's origin.
Erica calmed herself down. She was thoroughly shaken to the core. Because what she thought was already the perfect human with an angelic face, the one she became crazy with, would have a look-alike! The guy outside looks like a carbon copy of Niki that she won't be able to tell the difference if not for the white hair color the guy has!
'I need to know if this man is related to Niki in any way or not.' Erica felt an inexplicable unease in her heart as if she discovered something terrible.
...
Fein was busy with his meditation, and his understanding of the space law was improving every minute. He didn't even know that his enemies were already aware of his presence and had spotted him. What's more, mistaken for someone, no not just someone, but the world's most dangerous criminal...
