"Ummm…. But I don't know how to get out of this place…"
I spoke, and she turned at me with a stumped look as she spoke,"Wait! Wait! Wait! What do you mean by that?"
I then stretched a little as I explained,"well. I was called here by Voltaire, and I connected my consciousness to this place. Though, honestly, I don't know how to get back… I was going to ask Voltaire, but he just… vanished before I could ask him that."
Her expression turned a bit complicated, and I pondered a little before speaking,"staying here is not going to yield any results though. Come. Let's check the lowest floor. If I am not wrong, we might find answers there."
She looked at me and nodded with the same complicated look before we started moving down the dungeon floor by floor. Slowly and slowly, we crossed the 100 floors before we reached the place where Voltaire was held captive.
The wall against which Voltaire was bound was half broken, while the chains had fallen on the ground without much activity in them. Reaching a bit closer to it, I observed the wall and touched it while keeping my skills activated.
Touching the wall shattered it into pieces before I observed another message appearing in front of my screen.
[The Wall of Nexus has been shattered!]
[Dungeon confers that Voltaire is gone!]

Immediately I held Enkonimiya in my hands as I used [The Defier!] once again with a serious and hurried expression on my face.
…
My eyes open up as I find myself back at the same place where I asked George and the others to watch over me.
'Did it work?' I thought as I had used the Skill to bring Enkonomiya with me. Though my answers revealed themselves as I found the core in front of me shining brightly before a figure of a young girl graced me with its presence.
The core slowly vanished before the girl completely took the shape of Enkonimiya in front of me. Those pink hairs over that lavishing body, I slowly took a couple of clothes from my [Time Space] and moved closer to her as she stood up with her eyes slowly opening.
"Wear this," I spoke as she looked at me with a serious face before immediately changing into the dress that I gave her. Her eyes were still focused on the surrounding before she spoke,
"Is this your world? Quite unique, to say the least." I turned back to George, who was observing both Enkonimiya and I, and questioned,"how long was I out for?"
"4 hours," he answered immediately, and I nodded as the timing more or less matched before I turned to Enkonimiya as I asked,"are you okay? You don't feel dizzy or anything, right?"
"No. I am just a bit annoyed," she said as she glared at me,"you said you didn't know anything about getting back to your world, but here we are not even 30 minutes after you said that. I almost had a heart attack back there, you know?"
"Trust me. I didn't know for real. I just had some hunch which I checked and it worked. Well, better than getting trapped on that planet, isn't it?" I spoke as I looked at her, and she sighed this time.
"Well, if you put it like that… " she then slowed her voice before she changed the topic,"what next? Since I am more or less stuck with you, what shall we do now?"
I pondered as I began walking out and she followed me,"What do you want to do?"
I saw Irene and Walter moving towards her. Looks like they went to check the perimeter. As they saw me, relief entered in their eyes before it reached Enkonimiya and they observed her with their footsteps getting slower.
"I am going to find my father someday. But for now, I guess, I should live with you and see things around and get stronger enough to not become a problem for Voltaire and the others," she spoke, and I kind of understood it.
My eyes then reached the duo coming towards us and I spoke,"How are things outside?"
Irene, who was a bit confused looking at Enkonimiya, turned to me and said,"it's clear. Though the 4 guys whom you have left alive are making a bit of noise outside."
I nodded as I recalled them clearly, despite ages having passed for me. I then pondered a bit before turning at the System Screen
[Ethereal Power: Chronomancer!]
[Allows you to manipulate time according to you!
Cost: 5000 Golden Cronas/Seconds]
'Hmmm… I feel like the other one [The Illusionist] was better for me, but looking at the future, the more Ethereal and Time Powers I have, the better I guess,' I thought before looking at Irene, Walter and the others.
"George. Where are Alex and White?" I asked as I looked at him with a bit of curiosity. George nodded before speaking,
"Gramps and Alex went on their own way, doing their own things. If I remember correctly, Alex too went to the Liqua Country to find a distant relative of his own while White returned to the Black Military of the Pallegia Archipelago to finish an unfinished business or something. Never heard from either of them again though," spoke George as he looked at me with a slightly embarrassed expression.
"Liqua Country, huh?" I spoke as I recalled that it was our neighbor country. I guess we can visit there after helping Irene out here. Shouldn't take much time, either way.
"Yeah, the last time I have heard from him was a month ago," George added again and I nodded as I turned to Irene and said,"Once I take care of your business, we will be leaving."
A smile blossomed on her face as she looked at me while I turned to Enkonimiya,"Miya. This one is Irene. This is George and this is Walter. They work with me. Guys, this is Miya. Another addition to our group."
Miya nodded at each one of them before peeking at me slightly.
'What?' I signaled silently, and she whispered in a low but audible voice,'they look weak.'
Hearing her words, I smiled as I didn't answer her, instead let them see each other's powers and stuff.
The four of them, especially Irene and Miya, started talking. Their topic was about what those guys did to Irene and, hearing her story, Miya was really fuming. By the time we moved out, I saw those 4 guys whom I didn't kill were still chained there, protecting themselves as they fought against the incoming zombies.
"Release them," I spoke and Walter chanted something, unbinding them at once. Those guys then turned towards us with an angered expression before their eyes turned towards Miya.
For a few moments, they turned numb before a lust filled expression appeared on their faces.
"Are they one with Mallorn?" asked Miya to Irene, and she nodded. Though before Irene could speak anything more, Miya moved a few steps forward, making everyone, including me, look at her.
Those 4 men, like rabid dogs, ran towards Miya at a rapid speed.
"Hey, George. Maybe my sense of beauty is distorted, but can you answer a question of mine?" I asked without turning my eyes from Miya, and George nodded.
"On a scale of 1 to 10. How beautiful is Miya?" I asked again, and he looked at me for a brief moment and answered with a slight gulp,
"15? Maybe 16." His words betrayed his expression as it looked like he was still underestimating her beauty.
"BY THE GODS OF NEXUS, I COMMAND YOU TO BURN!!!" Spoke Miya with a disgusted tone and, as those 4 men were running, they started burning in a rapid black fire that slowly consumed all 4 of them at once.
We could hear them crying frantically as they withered in excruciating pain before completely turning into ashes. Irene, George and Walter could only observe her with a fear filled expression as they turned at me, with a simple question,'Who is Miya?'
Moving closer to Miya, I patted her shoulder as I spoke,"Calm down. Don't tell me you are so easy to emotionally manipulate?"
Hearing my words, she stumped a little as she then bowed her head down. Her previously garnered expression was washed away immediately with that one sentence, and I patted her head before speaking,
"It's all right. Let's go now. Next time, let me handle things first, though."
She nodded slowly before I turned back to the three duo,"Take me to Mallorn," I spoke in a dominant tone. I was about to meet this so-called ' The King of the Gifted.'
