Imdiately, the two of us dressed. Althea wore a stunning crimson dress that clung to her curves, flowing like liquid fire around her body. Her icy blue hair cascaded down her back, catching the morning sunlight with an ethereal glow. Despite her cold personality, there was no denying her divine allure.
As for , I threw on a plain white T-shirt and a pair of black pants. Nothing fancy. I looked incredibly average—at least on the surface. But my piercing green eyes gave so charm beneath the mundane exterior.
Althea said nothing as we stepped outside. Cars Drove outside People occasionally glanced our way,
Their eyes lingering a bit longer than normal. Perhaps it was her beauty. Or maybe, deep down, they sensed sothing unusual about the pair of us. Still, she refused to enter my soul today.
"It’s boring in there," she said bluntly.
I sighed. Of course, she wouldn’t make this easy.
We arrived at the sa quiet location where we had previously t Clara. There she stood—elegant and composed—dressed in a light yellow T-shirt that complented her silver hair. Her A-ranked sword was
sheathed at her waist, a weapon atleast C ranked of Accessories B-C rank, each pulsing faintly with contained power. Her perfu was sweet, subtle, yet distinct. Combined with Althea’s own naturally cold, divine scent, the two created a silent battlefield of fragrances as we approached.
Clara’s golden eyes observed us with her usual unreadable expression. She gave a brief wave, nonchalant as ever. Without a word, she summoned a mask—elegant, white, and shaped to only conceal the top half of her face. Recognizing that we were now in a relatively secluded area, I summoned my clone.
With a shimr of light, an exact replica of myself appeared beside us. I placed the mask on its face and calibrated its behavior to mimic Clara’s personality and habits.
The clone imdiately analyzed Clara’s movents and expressions, adapting to replicate her seamlessly. In just a few monts, it was like a second Clara had been born.
She smiled faintly, pleased with the result, and began explaining to the clone its duties for the next few weeks.
It would stay behind and act as her within the school,
carrying out her routine, managing interactions, and deflecting suspicion. Thanks to my advanced control, the clone could think independently—at least within programd limits—and execute Clara’s expected behaviors perfectly.
Once the preparations were complete, the clone left to perform its assigned task. Unfortunately, I still lacked the power to create more than one clone. That ability would co with ti—and strength.
Althea, who had remained silent the entire ti, stepped forward and handed each of us a small, sleek device—about the size of a coin. "These are teleportation" she said coolly. "They’ll take us directly to a concealed entry point near the Abyss Tower. Untraceable."
"You already had access to the Tower?" I raised an eyebrow.
"My father showed once," she replied, brushing a strand of silver hair behind her ear. "I left a mark there. It should still function."
The Abyss Tower was located deep within the South Region—far from where we currently lived. Accessing it normally would require high-level permission, or the backing of one of the great Family or Union The journey alone would have taken days. But with these marker.
We could easily Go right in.
In my past life, I had only arrived in the South once—forced to flee from the chaos in the West. I rembered that trip clearly. The tower had left a lasting impression.
Without hesitation, we each pressed the button.
Our surroundings blurred, spinning rapidly as a feeling of weightlessness took over. And then, suddenly—we were there.
The world settled. In front of us stood the legendary Abyss Tower.
It was an enormous, cylindrical colosseum constructed of strange, yellow-tinted stone that glead like gold in the sunlight. The structure stretched impossibly high into the sky—so high that clouds seed to cling to its upper levels like fog. At its base stood a massive, glowing blue portal—the only visible entrance. The portal pulsed with ominous energy.
Behind us, an enormous wall lood, patrolled by guards and equipped with monitoring arrays. These were likely in place to watch over the tower and contain any potential threats. But thanks to Althea’s mark, we had bypassed all of it. We had arrived re ters from the tower’s entrance.
Seeing the Abyss Tower again sent a shiver down my spine. mories flooded in—painful, haunting. In my past life, I had managed to reach the fourth floor as a re C-rank. That feat was almost unheard of, and it hadn’t co without its costs.
This place. It was a living nightmare.
Once inside, escape wasn’t simple. The only way to leave was through special safe zones—each floor had one,
hidden deep within its interior. These zones were difficult to find without proper knowledge. If you failed to locate one, you were trapped until death
But it was Fine for since i know every Route of the 1st floor the only thing i were worried about is The Beast.
Thought it’s high risk and high rewards Every Floor is abundant with Treasures that i don’t really know how it was Made.
Once we three entered Althea just Yawned clearly bored.
And once inside we see ourselves in a Forest the Forest is wasn’t ordinary it was collosal looming over us as if we’re ant.
Clara eyes sparkled her usual cold expressions Gone.
i sighed then handed her out a Bottle She tilt her head curiously what’s up with the Bottle
"It’s for hiding are presence don’t worry we will still Hunts Monster so Drink it" She didn’t hesitate hearing my words.
Honestly she is too Naive if she see how Greedy and Evil People were she would have hesitated drinking it.
While Althea already hide her own Presence and She Warned The Two of us There’s a Threat coming in. From my experience the sound of The.
Footsteps was a Phantom moving really Fast. Though it was not fully dangerous if not careful we might get injured.
Which is not a option doing it would attract more our blood will leak out.
