Hikaru saw the message in front of him and felt that what he had just done was pointless.
"Rika, where is that woman's real body?"
[I don't know, Master. It seems that it was only the clone that was here.]
Hikaru sighed and checked the number of soul points he possessed.
"Make a copy of Morital!"
[Ding! To create a copy of Morital, you need to spend 100,000,000 soul points.]
"Less than that of the mysterious woman?" Hikaru saw the message, and a thought popped into his head: 'So that means... he's weaker than her.'
Hikaru felt that his assumption was correct, because if Morital had been stronger than that mysterious woman, he would not have run away.
"Accept!"
Then, Hikaru entered the simulation space. Five seconds later, he opened his eyes and asked Rika: "Where is Morital's location now?"
[Mortal and Sherwin are on the run.They're about 2,000 meters in the 2 o'clock direction. Master, you intend to...]
"Yes." Hikaru was determined to destroy Morital.
He just wanted to come and see the progress of the battle between Sherwin and the other players. If Sherwin was in danger, he could intervene and save him. Although Morital ran away with Sherwin, Hikaru did not think much of it.
However, Hikaru was used by Morital to fight someone even more powerful than him. and this made him angry.
He wanted to let Morital understand that not everyone could be taken advantage of.
Hikaru immediately opened the information board, which showed the positions of the players in the group.
…
Morital hugged Sherwin and ran continuously without stopping to rest. At Morital's current speed, he was covering 3,000 meters in less than 10 minutes. Suddenly, Morital stopped, and a puzzled expression could be seen on his face.
"Strange, why do I feel a bit sick? It feels like... something terrible is about to happen. Morital muttered
Even though it was just an alarm from his intuition, he trusted his intuition a lot. Thanks to his intuition, Morital had escaped danger many times. Now, too, Morital believed that something terrible was about to happen, which would certainly threaten his life.
Morital's heartbeat was gradually getting faster. He laid the unconscious Sherwin on the ground, then pulled out a sword and began activating his skills.
"Shield Buff!"
"Speed Buff!"
"Attack Buff!"
…
Morital continuously used 7 types of buffs, which caused magic circles to fly around his body. Morital put the Misty Lamp on the ground and gripped the sword in both hands as sweat dripped from his shirt.
Morital's heart rate still hadn't dropped, and it was still beating like a battle drum. His intuition was still warning him that he was in danger.
Suddenly, Morital dimly saw a black orb above his head. He was startled and wanted to dodge, but somehow his body couldn't move. The magic circles around him also strangely disappeared.
Is space warped? Impossible?' Morital was screaming inside. He realized that the orb above his head had warped the space around him, so he couldn't move. However, he didn't understand why his skills didn't work.
"Who? Who is that?"
No one answered his question. However, he clearly felt the weight of gravity on him; it felt like there was a mountain on his back.
"BAM!"
Morital, unable to withstand gravity, immediately fell to his knees. His knees touching the ground caused the ground to shatter, and cracks like those of a spider's web appeared. Morital felt that his knees were broken. Besides, his nose, ears, and mouth were bleeding profusely because the blood vessels couldn't handle the heavy pressure.
A faint shadow appeared in the fog. Morital frowned at the somewhat familiar shadow.
"Who are... you? Why are you attacking me? " Morital spoke with difficulty because his body was struggling from the enormous gravity that was pressing down on him.
That black shadow entered the Misty Lamp's illumination range, and Morital saw the person in front of him and immediately widened his eyes, his face showing disbelief.
"You are... Hika... No! You were turned into a puppet by that bastard. You can't be that strong." When Morital saw Hikaru, his heart filled with disbelief. He felt that the reason that Hikaru had become so strong was that he had become a puppet of the mysterious woman, so he was strong enough to defeat him.
Hikaru didn't answer him but extended his hand and lowered it. The Void Hole immediately flew down and crushed Morital. His body was then sucked in by the Void Hole and crushed to ashes.
[Ding! You have successfully destroyed Morital's clone. You have received 7,000,000 soul points and a level 2 territory destruction certificate.]
Hikaru saw the message pop up and frowned. He was not surprised to see this notification. In any case, the mysterious woman and Morital were both players from another world, and they would certainly have skills which would help them preserve their lives while in Misty World.
Hikaru looked at Sherwin. He was lying on the ground and seemed unconscious. Hikaru glanced at Sherwin, and he immediately wanted to kill him. After all, he and Sherwin were enemies. For Sherwin to continue to live and become stronger, the one who was in danger was him.
Suddenly, Sherwin woke up. He gasped and said, "It's you."
Hikaru frowned, seeing Sherwin lying on the ground and looking at the sky filled with fog. Sherwin took a deep breath and said, "The bombardment just now...Was your creation right?"
Hikaru didn't answer. He just stood there looking at Sherwin and remained silent.
"Did you also kill Morital?"
Hikaru still didn't answer. He held the Void Hole in his hand, which could be instantly thrown at any time to kill Sherwin.
Sherwin didn't hear Hikaru's answer, but he already knew the answer. He smiled and laughed bitterly, "So... Why are you pretending that you are so weak? You can kill me easily, but you pretend that you are afraid of me. Why?"
Hikaru then said, "I don't like trouble."
Although Hikaru's answer was modest, Sherwin had other thoughts. He felt that Hikaru was like a giant and he was a small ant.
And when a giant looks down at an ant, no matter how much the ant shouts or screams, the giant would not be able to hear it. No, to be more precise, they were not on the same level, so the giant didn't need to listen to the ant.
"Are you going to kill me?" Sherwin said.
"Yes. Do you think that after the conflicts between me and you, I can let you alive? Like I said, I hate trouble, and most of my troubles right now come from you."
Hearing Hikaru's words, Sherwin felt extremely distressed. So... what he did in Hikaru's eyes was just antics, which caused him trouble.
He continued, "Can't you and I become comrades?"
"No!" Hikaru replied decisively, he said more: "It's fine if you accept to be my slave."
As soon as he said this, Hikaru also asked Rika: "Is there any skill that will help Sherwin break the slave contract?"
[Master, there is a way to help Sherwin break the slave contract. However, this can only be done by entities that have overcome the system's control.]
Hikaru was relieved to hear that. He also wasn't worried about Morital helping Sherwin break the slave contract. Hikaru was not worried because Morital was afraid the system would detect him, which means that Morital is still in the system's control.
He believed that existences beyond the system's control were already GODs. However, at the moment, he was not concerned with these matters; he was more concerned with Sherwin's decision.
Hikaru wanted to kill Sherwin. However, if he agreed to be his slave, he would be willing to accept him. Hikaru felt that Sherwin's potential was great, and with his help, Hikaru could develop his territory quickly.
"Do I have another choice?" Sherwin said.
"No! Become my slave or die!"
Sherwin heard Hikaru's words and laughed a little. In the past, Sherwin was the one who said this to any player he saw. Now he was the one hearing it.
"Will you change this world?"
"No! I just want to survive until the game is over. If you want to ask more questions, I can't answer them." Hikaru didn't want to hear Sherwin rambling about things like dreams, changing the world, or being just.
He had no interest in them.
Hikaru just wanted to live and become stronger so that he could escape the system's control and also escape from all the rules. He wants to be immortal and travel around the universe. He also wants to control everything.
Hikaru wanted a lot of things, but he knew he couldn't do anything because he was too weak. Even though Hikaru was now a powerhouse compared to a normal person, compared to existences beyond the control of the system, he was just a tiny ant.
Hikaru shook his head. The Void Hole in his hand could easily destroy Sherwin at any moment. He felt everything had changed so quickly. A few days ago, Hikaru was worried that Sherwin would come for him, but now he was able to look at Sherwin like a mouse. As long as Hikaru waved his hand, Sherwin would surely die. He felt that he could control Sherwin's life in his hands.
"It seems..." I have no other choice. Then, I choose to be your slave." Sherwin sighed, then spoke. Sherwin's face showed hope. He thought that if he was still alive, he could start all over again.
Even though Sherwin became someone else's slave, he believed there was a way to break the slave contract.
Seeing that Sherwin was fearless, Hikaru also sighed. Brother Sherwin is the main character motif. In these desperate times, he still has hope and never gives up. Hikaru knew what Sherwin was thinking. However, he confirmed with Rika that breaking the slave contract was extremely difficult.
"Good! Relax, don't resist!" Hikaru said Then he sent a slave request to Sherwin.
[Ding! You have received a request to become a slave from player Hikaru. Do you agree or not?]
Seeing the notice board in front of him, Sherwin took a deep breath and said: "Accept!"
