Misty World: Start with SSS skill-Chapter 42 First Meet, I’m Sherwin!
Petran took a deep breath, trying to calm down. However, Petran suddenly remembered Hikaru.
"Not good. I have to hurry up and see Hikaru." Petran thought. After all, Hikaru was the Void Lord's pawn. If something went wrong with Hikaru's plan, Petran certainly wouldn't survive.
Although Petran speculated that Hikaru and Sherwin's strength wouldn't be too far apart, Petran feared that there would be a problem or an element that he was not aware of that could hinder his plan.
Besides, Petran thought that the Void Lord was watching over the people of this world, especially Hikaru and possibly himself. Therefore, Petran wanted to show that he also had the potential to become the Void Lord's pawn.
Ratia suddenly asked Petran: "Do you have a way to move faster?"
Ratia: "Heh? Of course there is, but you said moving too fast would alert the monsters lurking in the fog."
"There's no time left." Petran hastily said.
Ratia found it difficult to understand. Before, Petran walked slowly, but now he wanted to get there as fast as possible. Ratia could not understand the young man in front of her.
"Alright!" Ratia yelled in annoyance. She reached out her hand, a magic circle appeared, then a mechanical spider came out of the magic circle.
Petran saw this, frowned, and asked: "A Spider? Where's the armored tank from before?"
Ratia looked at Petran as if he was an idiot. She sighed and explained: "Are you stupid? With this terrain, using a tank to move is no different than using a submarine to explore a reef."
"Tsk!" Petran clicked his tongue but obediently climbed onto the back of the spider. The robot spider was quite large, so there was still plenty of room for two people to sit on its back.
Following Petran's instructions, Ratia easily controlled the robot spider to keep moving.
…
In Hikaru's domain, he suddenly opened his eyes and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
In fact, Hikaru did not have the ability to manipulate space or time; it's just that he used the Void Cloak's abilities to use his consciousness to meet Petran in the Simulation Space.
Hikaru was basically a god in the Simulation Space.He could manipulate space at will and choose from the five types of environments that the Simulation Space offers. Simply changing the environment from "city" to "jungle" and adding some flair is the same as him controlling time backwards.
However, as the excitement wore off, Hikaru began to think about what Petran had said.
Petran said he had no intention of fighting but still fights frantically because something is motivating him. Hikaru thought carefully. He thought maybe it was the fog affecting Petran, or was it because the system programmed the other players to fight?
"Rika, what do you think?" Hikaru suddenly asked Rika.
[I don't know, Master.]
Hikaru sighed. Even though he expected Rika wouldn't know, he was still a bit disappointed. However, Hikaru ruled out the system's ability to affect the consciousness of other players. If the system had that ability, why wasn't Hikaru affected?
If it's because of the fog, it makes more sense. But the problem was that Hikaru had also been exposed to the fog, but there was still no change in him.
"Have I changed without my knowledge or am I immune to the mist?" Hikaru thought to himself.
Suddenly, Rika spoke up: [Master, is what you said true?]
"What did I say?" Hikaru confusedly asked again.
[You stated that you would appear if the fog lifted.]
"Hahaha..." Hikaru laughed so hard that tears flowed from his eyes: "Rika, did you believe those words?"
[But, Master you said...]
"Hahaha... nothing. I just felt those words were cool, so I said them. Besides, this place is Misty World; there's no way the fog will disappear." Hikaru said while smiling.
A Misty World without the fog was like a bad joke. What will Misty World be called then? non-misty world?
Rika: [...]
Rika was silent. Hikaru also stopped laughing. He took out the other card and looked at it. The other card was the function card. However, upon seeing this card, Hikaru suddenly frowned.
Hikaru pondered thoughtfully and tapped the table for a long time, then mentally ordered Saraya and Vuni to return. Besides, he also asked them to bring Anno back safely.
…
When they were returning, Anno walked to the front of the city gate and was startled to see the magic symbols drawn on the wall. She shouted: "W-what, is that a magic symbol?"
"Yes," Vuni said in a normal tone, as if it was obvious.
Anno was surprised and said to herself in a whisper: "No way, this poor territory has an Enchanter."
Although Anno had made her voice as low as possible, Vuni and Saraya were, of course, still able to hear it. Saraya frowned and said: "You seem to be looking down on us, don't you? Let me cut off your tongue and see if you can still speak."
Saraya's cold voice scared Anno, who hastily covered her mouth and explained: "S-sorry, I didn't think there was an enchanter in this little place."
Saraya heard Anno's words and assumed that she was insulting her master. Anno was the master of this territory, and insulting it was no different than insulting her master.
Saraya angrily waved her hand, and the thunder spear immediately appeared in her hand. The wind suddenly rose up like a hurricane, and Saraya's body was covered in countless arcs of electricity.
Anno felt hostility coming from Saraya. In her eyes, Saraya was like a death god who was holding a sickle to her neck. Although Anno was scared, and she also knew how strong Saraya and Vuni were, she was not the type to accept death calmly.
Anno waved her hand, and a protective magic circle appeared and enveloped her. She tried to hold back her fear and shouted, "I'm the top student of the Royal Magic Academy anyway. Don't look down on me."
Vuni originally intended to stop their fight, but suddenly she received orders from Hikaru.
"Ignore them."
"Yes, Master." Vuni, of course, obeyed Hikaru's orders and watched Saraya fight Anno.
Hikaru in the room also saw Saraya and Anno's battle through Vuni's vision. It wasn't that he was angry because Anno insulted his small territory; it was true. What he wanted to see was Anno's Hidden Buff [The blessing of the goddess of luck].
If Anno's Hidden Buff was really effective, no matter how strong Saraya was, she wouldn't be able to threaten Anno's life. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚
Saraya took the Thunder Spear and threw it at Anno. Suddenly, the thunder spear that was flying suddenly pierced the ground and then exploded.
"BOOM!"
There was a loud explosion, and dust and dirt flew through the air. However, through Vuni's vision, Hikaru could still see a familiar figure in the distance, hidden behind the fog.
"Gravity Catfish"
Hikaru didn't understand why the Gravity Catfish appeared here and bent the direction of the Thunder Spear. Was this due to Anno's Hidden Buff?
The Gravity Catfish looked towards Hikaru's territory then disappeared into the mist. Hikaru thought for a moment and decided he didn't want Vuni or Saraya to pursue it.
Right after that, the ground suddenly shook. Giant vines pierced the ground, rushing up. Those vines were more than 10 centimeters thick; even with a sword, they wouldn't be cut.
Saraya saw this and quickly flew up, but a vine wrapped her legs tightly. Then there were many other vines that also tied her up.
Saraya was angry and wanted to retaliate, but then she suddenly realized that she couldn't use her mana.
"The vines are sucking my mana." Saraya suddenly realized that the vines used to bind her were not only restraining her but also absorbing her mana.
"Huh! My vines do not only absorb mana, it also restrict movements and cause a person to hallucinate and die slowly. "Anno stood in the distance, said confidently.
Seeing this, Hikaru was astonished. Anno was too lucky. If the first thunder spear pierced her,she would surely be grievously injured even if she used defensive magic.
Despite being a succubus, Saraya was not weak. On the contrary, her stats were very high. She even had the bloodline of a fallen angel. Also, the element Saraya uses was lightning, and the element Anno uses was nature magic. Saraya's mana was limited, and it was being sucked by the vines, so she quickly ran out of mana, and her lightning did not have enough power to destroy the vines.
Saraya was almost one-sidedly overwhelmed by Anno... And it was not due to strength but to luck.
"Looks like Anno's Hidden Buff is really powerful."
Afterwards, Hikaru ordered Vuni to stop Anno. Vuni heard Hikaru's orders and shouted, "Okay, both of you stop."
Anno was immersed in the feeling of victory when she heard Vuni's words. Anno originally didn't want to listen to her, but when she saw her face, Anno felt fear again. Like a rabbit seeing a wolf.
Anno drew her magic quickly and stood with her arms crossed.She pouted, her face showing displeasure at not being able to continue the fight. Saraya could only grit her teeth and cast a hostile glance at Anno.But because of an order from Hikaru, she could only keep quiet.
On Hikaru's orders, Vuni led Anno to meet him. On the way, Anno was puzzled and asked: "Where are we going?"
Vuni smiled and replied, "To meet our Master."
"Master?" Anno yelled in surprise. Her voice was so loud that Vuni and Saraya frowned in annoyance.
Anno's surprise was natural. In her heart she thought: "the Master of Vuni and Saraya? No way, Vuni is so strong, how can she be someone else's subordinate? Is it... a certain sage who wants to live in the wilderness?"
Anno thought of the old sages, whose wrinkled faces in witch costumes she had met at the royal academy.
In the living room, Anno saw a young man about 175 cm tall with short black hair, which was combed back slightly. The young man was a little thin, his face indifferent looking at her.
If Anno knew anything about anime or manga, she would surely have realized that Hikaru was a bit similar to the character Aizen in the anime series "Bleach".
However, there was only apathy on Hikaru's face, not a fake smile like Aizen. Anno, of course, did not find Hikaru handsome. On the contrary, she felt that Hikaru was quite ordinary. After all, among the Dark Elves, there were many people more handsome than Hikaru.
However, to Anno's surprise, Hikaru was completely different from what she had speculated.
Hikaru looked at Anno and said: "This is the first time we meet. I am the owner of this territory. My name is Sherwin."
