"So... Laila Osborne... Let's get her ass and start moving towards the dinsional crack!"
"This mission is supposed to be secret" She sighed and shook her head with an expression of defeat that only worsened after I said the sa thing again, just this ti in a whisper.
"Are you a child?"
"Nope. Just a very happy person" I chuckled behind the mask that I had put on before I had left the 4th floor.
"I wonder why that is?" She rolled her eyes
"Best night of my life" I smiled aloofly.
Subconsciously, I had beco a lot more confident with my body than before, which showed in the way I handled myself.
While before I might have been too subconsciously weirded out by my female body, now I confidently walked around in it, showing everything but my face while also wearing clothes that were a lot more suitable for a woman my bodily age and size.
'Hmmm...' A disturbing thought went through my head, yet I quickly shook it off while thinking to myself 'I'm technically over 40 years old'
"Why are you waiting here?" The assistant asked with a grunt of annoyance, making raise a brow in confusion.
"Waiting for Miss Laila Osborne," I said
"What? Do you think I can just magically teleport her here?" She blurted out in outrage, yet I just looked at her weirdly before tilting my head and saying
"Yes?"
"Get out of here... Now" she pointed towards the door, making nod my head imdiately before bolting off the door without looking back, feeling as if sothing really bad might have happened if I didn't
[You didn't ask where Laila is...]
'I didn't need to' shrugged and walked in a specific direction
[Oh yeah... Because it tells you in the note that she is drunk, smokes a lot, and likes to hook up with guys, you assud she will be at the most popular bar. But it's like 9 am and the sun has barely risen... Why would she be there]
'Look? You are finally using your ability to mind-read ! You can figure out why she would be there by yourself.'
[Because she had nothing else to do...]
'Exactly' I smirked under my mask before finally flickering from my spot and disappearing with a gust of wind, causing everyone in the area to look at where I stood in a mixture of both shock and disbelief
As my figure blurred through the skies, I heard Hela's voice ring out within my mind, causing to halt mid-air and look down at what she was telling to look at.
'An imposter?' I thought as I inspected a person with a mask that looked almost identical to mine as well as wearing clothes that looked similar to mine, yet not as closely resembling the mask.
[I am guessing people are using your mask to commit cris...]
'I don't care.' I imdiately blasted back into the direction of the bar
[What?]
'As I said before... I don't care... Things happen and so things are simply out of our control. What we should do is ignore them unless they purposely co in our way. Plus, soone can easily spot the differences between and the imposter. The fact that that person doesn't have the fire affinity already tells you a lot about how authentic they are. Plus, my golden arcane magic has basically beco my signature move that anyone can recognize from miles away' I explained before shrugging and landing right in front of the bar's door, slowly sliding it open and walking in just to be t by a scene that I could not say I was expecting.
'What the fuck...'
[Well, that would have been my reaction if I hadn't just watched you and Rose go at it for hours straight without stop.] Hela chuckled while my expression soured
'Can't you like, close your eyes or sothing?'
[Do I look like soone who can close their eyes?]
'I don't know! I don't really know what you look like either. To , you are more like an ethereal being inside my head who happens to hear my thoughts while also being able to control my system every now and then...' I replied nonchalantly, yet I could feel the annoyance coming from Hela even though she did not have a physical body, nor did she say anything that would indicate her annoyance.
'The mind reading thing might go both ways though...' I smiled as I walked towards Laila who was currently surrounded by n she told a story about one of her adventures while sipping what seed like whisky as she smoked a cigarette.
'The fact that cigarettes even exist in this world says enough about it' I sighed and sat down around her alongside all the other n, simply listening to her detailed story on how she had killed 5 arch-duke tier beasts on her own without the help of her rookie companions.
She went on to talk about how her next mission was likely to be the sa, and since I knew I was going to be her next partner, I could not help but feel a little anticipation about how it would go down since I was pretty sure I was stronger than her, even though my cultivation level was leagues below hers.
Still, both our power levels had reached over 500000 while at the sa ti, she happened to be in the 2nd diamond tier, aning that her power had still not reached its maximum.
[People like her are the true prodigies of this world. While so simply have good cultivation speed, others have enough power to fight people way above their ranks, an example being her and Rose, both of them being able to fight across cultivation stages]
'Are you saying that Rose can fight a solidus rank on equal bases?' I asked with mockery in my voice. While yes, I am probably going to be able to do sothing similar when reaching the Liquidus stage, the fact that soone like Rose, a re mortal, could attain enough power to fight across stages, especially in the higher stages, seed slightly far fetched.
The higher stages had gaps of power between them that could not be simply ignored. The gaps were huge, therefore making it extrely hard for soone in the peak of the Liquidus stage, no matter who they were, to fight against soone at the initial ranks of the Solidus stage.
[You are getting wrong. I am not saying that she can fight soone in the initial ranks of the Solidus stage on equal bases... I am saying that she could kill multiple people in the lower Solidus ranks while only gaining a few injuries... That is the kind of monster you are f*cking]
When I heard Hela's final words, I could not help but feel a shudder go through my very being. This shudder was not one of fear or shock, instead, it was one that was filled with excitent for the future.
I had already made my mind up in the past that I was most probably going to leave everyone being with my cultivation speed and my limitless potential, yet after hearing what Rose was capable of before even eting , I felt a rush of excitent pass through , completely making forget where I was, allowing my mana fluctuations to be released out of my mana with a mixture of my excitent within it, flickering with the vigor of my soul fla.
