"Guys, it seems we've been misdirected. Our line of thinking was wrong from the beginning." Fein said solemnly.
"What do you mean?" Sofia asked.
Voli and Aoi perked their ears as they saw that Fein was about to answer. They felt quite dispirited at the result of their attack. Obviously, it was the first time they used their powerful abilities after they evolved, only to result in failure. This is quite unacceptable to them.
Fein walked towards the narrow passageway, went beside one of the holes, and looked at them. "I think these holes are the key to get out of the loop. I might be wrong, but this is our only option."
"Huh? In those holes? What if they were traps and something dangerous is inside? Won't that simply mean seeking our death?" Sofia said with a hesitant face.
Voli looked at the holes and felt that something was staring at him. He didn't know if it was only his imagination. The fur on his body stood on its ends and he suddenly felt cold.
"What's wrong, buddy?"
Fein quickly noticed Voli's abnormal behavior. Because of this, Sofia and Aoi's attention went to Voli.
? "I don't know, master. I'm feeling that something or someone was staring at me in those holes!"
Hearing Voli's words, Fein didn't hesitate any longer. "Wait for me here. Don't follow me!"
Sofia only saw Fein jump to one of the holes swiftly. Seeing this, Aoi turned to Sofia. "Would he be okay?"
"My man is strong. He could do it." Sofia gave a smile. But she was worried inside. The only thing she could do was trust Fein.
"What kind of question is that? Of course, the master would be okay!" Voli went beside the hole. He really wants to follow Fein and see if he could help.
...
Fein, who jumped into the hole, was now falling into the darkness. He couldn't see anything at all. No walls, no light, and no sound. It was as if he was deprived of his five senses. But she could feel the friction of the wind on his skin. That's also the reason why he guessed that he was still falling. Not to mention, he hasn't landed on anything.
Just like that, thirty minutes passed, but he could still feel his descent. The speed became faster and faster yet still hasn't landed. 'I just need to be patient. I don't believe that this is really bottomless!'
Four hours passed, but it was still the same darkness and the same sensation of falling. 'Damn it! It won't really be bottomless, right!?'
Fein couldn't see the hole where he jumped anymore. If the hole didn't really have a bottom, then he was completely trapped. He would just fall without landing, literally a perpetual motion! He would just keep going.
'Fuck it! This is similar to an infinite loop from before! How to do?'
Suddenly, Fein saw a white light below him. And he could see another place on the other side of the light. Fein dove into the light without hesitation...
"Impressively, you made it here."
Just as Fein landed, he heard a feminine voice in front of him. When he raised his head, he saw a woman in a purple robe. He could feel that the woman was extraordinary and extremely dangerous.
"Who are you?" Fein stepped back vigilantly. He could feel that even with his current strength, the one in front of him wouldn't be easy.
"I'm Erica, the leader of the witches. You suddenly intruded on our base, isn't it trespassing? And you are to ask who am I?" the woman in a purple robe said with an amused expression. "I'm the one who should ask. Who are you? Are you related to Niki?"
"Huh? You are the leader of the witches?" When Fein heard this, he stood still. The long-time suppressed hatred in his heart began to erupt.
But he immediately took control of it. He wasn't the same as before anymore. He was the master of his emotions!
"Niki? Why are you asking me that? Isn't he your boss?" Fein responded.
Erica was surprised when she heard the answer. 'How did this man know that Niki is our boss? It seems he came here with a purpose. This man isn't simple. Plus, he really looks like my boss!'
Erica wonder if the one in front of him was her boss but just dye his hair white. But she knew Niki won't do such a thing with his character. It wasn't Niki's personality to do stupid pranks. Plus, the voices of the two were slightly different. Niki's voice was a bit deeper than the one in front of her.
"Well, forget it. It seems you're really not related to Niki. It's just the two of you look like twins." Erica shrugged. "What's your purpose here?"
'I look like Niki's twin brother?' Fein's eyes widened at this. Then he took out the sword in his hand, as he didn't need to talk anymore. He needs to kill the woman in front of him.
Fein determined that Erica wasn't worse than him in terms of strength. So he couldn't afford to underestimate the other party. He really wants to torture her, but now he decided to kill her directly because of her strength.
Seeing Fein not answering. Erica felt bored. Then she looked at the sword in Fein's hands with a faint smile. "Good sword... Well, just chill. It's not the time yet to fight me. You aren't worthy. You couldn't even escape my curse, infinite loop."
"That infinite loop is your curse technique?" Fein felt a chill on his back. Such a high level of power, if the one in front of him could really cast an infinite loop. Then the power of the witch should be higher than him, if not equal!
"Yes, you're only talking to me now because the consumption of the Infinite Loop curse is quite astronomical. I can't maintain it for a day, at least nine hours at best." Erica smirked. "Well, enough talking. You are currently on the first floor of our base. Our base has fifteen floors in total. We will meet again on the final floor if you have the power!"
Fein swung the sword towards Erica, but Erica turned into ashes and disappeared. He was at a loss for a while.
'Fifteenth floor, huh? Wait for me there!' Fein's eyes became determined after a few seconds of daze.
