Misty World: Start with SSS skill



Hikaru carried Seraphen through the palace, he discovered that although this palace was extremely large, it was nothing special.

This place didn't look like a royal palace, but more like a church.

Hikaru frowned, there was only one room in this place, the hall. The hall was very large, it was made of a special stone, and even Hikaru didn't know what kind of stone it was.

In the front, facing the door about 100 meters, was a giant statue over 20 meters high.

That statue was sculpted into the shape of a man dressed like a priest, with his arms spread wide, and behind his back there were two wings like an angel.

"This seems to be… a Sanctuary."

"Citadel of Tang?" Hearing Seraphen's words, Hikaru felt a bit confused.

Seraphen, who was now carried by Hikaru like a princess, raised her head to look around and explain: "Yes, the Cathedral is a place for believers to gather and pray. It seems this is the Cathedral from ancient times."

Hikaru nodded, if this was the Cathedral then it wouldn't seem like it would be of any use to him. However… Perhaps the most useful things were the Runes.

While Hikaru was feeling extremely disappointed, Seraphen spoke again: "It seems that there is a secret door on the other side."

Hikaru looked into the distance, below the wall was a small wooden gate, above which there was a sealed rune like the main door.

He carried Seraphen close to the gate, then used Void Energy to erode the seal.

The Sealing Rune was corroded by Hikaru's energy, to reveal a large hole. Of course, he carried Seraphen inside the hole.

…

The surroundings were all dark, so he couldn't see anything. Hikaru didn't understand what had just happened when he felt Seraphen hugging him.

That's right, she was no longer holding his shirt, instead she was hugging him, hugging him tightly. Even Hikaru could feel the two huge mountains pressing on him, causing them to deform.

More importantly, however, he could feel Seraphen shaking violently.  Hikaru could even hear her sobbing.

Perhaps Seraphen was so scared that she wanted to cry, but she didn't dare to cry out loud, so she could only whimper. Although the sound was very low, Hikaru could still hear it.

He said softly: "Don't worry, I'm still holding you, there's nothing to be afraid of."

When Seraphen heard that it was as if she had been given a strong sedative, she nodded slightly, but her hands were still tightly wrapped around Hikaru and showed no sign of letting go.

Hikaru sighed, he was only able to take out the Misty Lamp from the space bag.

Ten Misty Lamps controlled by Hikaru flew around him, illuminating the place.

At this time, Hikaru discovered he was standing in a tunnel about 5 meters high and 10 meters wide. The surrounding area was reinforced with a special stone.

It could be said that this was a giant tunnel built by human hands.

Hikaru frowned, looking at both ends of the tunnel, he did not know which way to go.

"This side." Seraphen hugged Hikaru tightly with one hand, and pointed the other forward.

Seeing this, Hikaru was puzzled, he asked: "Have you been to this place before?"

Seraphen rested her head on Hikaru's chest, her face still filled with fear and said, "I don't know, I've never been to this place, but my intuition tells me to go that way."

Hikaru secretly asked Rika: "Which way should I go?"

[Master, this place is a bit special, I cannot guide you. However, Seraphen is right, you can trust her.]

Hikaru now felt extremely confused. Why couldn't Rika help him and instead let a stranger like Seraphen help him.

Could it be that Seraphen has some special ability that can predict directions accurately.

"You… you don't believe me?" Seraphen's voice sounded a little angry, but Hikaru saw a sulky lover.

He felt extremely tired, and wondered why things gradually tended to turn into a Galgame like this.

Hikaru said, "Okay, I believe you."

"Huh!" Seraphen snorted, and pouted, but she still felt extremely confused in her heart.

She didn't understand why when she was with this man she didn't feel disgusted. In contrast, Seraphen felt extremely safe and warm.

Hikaru walked slowly, after walking about 100 meters, he saw a mirror in the middle of the tunnel, no, to be more precise it was a mirror in the middle of the tunnel.

Hikaru frowned and asked Rika, "What is that?"

[It's a mirror of memory, it seems that you have to touch it to see the memory as a kind of inner overcoming challenge.]

eαglesnᴏνel [But master cannot use Void Energy to corrode it.]

"Why?"

[Because it doesn't have the function of absorbing energy to regenerate itself. This glass is supporting the tunnel, if it breaks, the whole tunnel will collapse as well.]

Hikaru could only sigh when he heard that, he felt like returning. He came here to harvest resources, not to take on bullshit challenges like this.

"That is…"

"Hm?! You know this glass?"

Seraphen nodded and said: "It's an introspector, the Church often uses it to baptize those who have gone the wrong way."

"So… is there any way to overcome it?"

Seraphen shook her head: "I don't know, but perhaps it is only possible to enter the world of that glass, and overcome the inner challenge to reach the other side."

Hikaru found this extremely annoying, he just wanted to find useful things, not come here to do the 'beyond myself' challenge.

He tried to use his teleportation skill to pass through this glass, but soon he realized that the area behind the glass was an area of space without energy.

Hikaru felt extremely strange. In fact, Void Energy was everywhere in the universe, even in the ground there was also Void Energy.

However, the space behind the glass not only did not have Void Energy, no other type of energy sources existed.

"Rika, is it necessary to pass the test of this glass to get inside?"

[That's right, master. Inside is a special space, and it doesn't have any energy source.]

Hikaru sighed, this time, he decided to enter the world of glass.

Seeing that Hikaru was about to touch the glass, Seraphen shouted, "Are you going to go inside the world of the glass?"

Hikaru nodded: "That's right, if there's no other way, I'll just have to pass the test of this glass."

Seraphen was a little hesitant now. She wanted to go inside but when she saw this glass, she immediately hesitated.

Seraphen knew what she would encounter if she entered the world inside the glass. Therefore, she was afraid, she was afraid to see the dark memories of the past.

Hikaru saw Seraphen shaking violently, her hands gripped the hem of his shirt, and she frowned.

He said, "If you don't face it, you will forever live in those dark memories."

Seraphen shouted: "Shut up!"

"You haven't been through what I've been through, how do you know I can make it through?"

Hikaru sighed, he said softly: "Yes, I haven't been through what you've been through. I don't even know what you've been through."

Hearing that, Seraphen gritted her teeth, her eyes were wet as if she was about to cry, and her body was trembling a little.

"But… even though I don't know, that doesn't mean you can't get over it. The past is the past, I was in the past just like you."

"Even after I possess tremendous power, and  a lot of beautiful, and angelic women who love me, I  was still afraid of everything."

"At that time I was like a coward, and I did not dare to face the past and the future."

"But then, thanks to another person, I was able to come out of the darkness of the past."

"The past can kill you, but if it doesn't kill you, it can only make you stronger."

When Seraphen heard that, she raised her head, and she looked at him with wet and surprised eyes.

Hikaru also lowered his head to look directly into Seraphen's eyes, he smiled and said: "How about now? Are you confident again?"

Seraphen didn't answer, she suddenly felt that Hikaru in her eyes was giving off a blinding light.

She realized that… she didn't seem to hate men that much either.

No, she still hated men, except for him.

Seraphen smiled and said: "Your words are truly wonderful. You're right. The past can kill you, but if it doesn't kill you, it will only make you stronger."

"Thank you."

Hikaru shook his head: "No need to thank me, as long as you don't slow down my discovery of these ancient ruins."

"Huh!" Seraphen pouted: "Men, you don't know what is romantic."

"Romance won't keep you alive."

Seraphen snorted contemptuously, but her face showed a very bright smile.

Hikaru suddenly let go, and Seraphen immediately fell to the ground.

"Who dares! Are you crazy!"

"If you are no longer trembling then you should go by yourself. Do you think you're light?" Hikaru glanced at Seraphen and then walked towards the mirror without paying any attention to her.

Seraphen gritted her teeth angrily. Huh! I'm not heavy! You're the fat one! Your whole family is fat!

Damn men!

Seraphen felt her butt sting from the impact with the ground. Seeing Hikaru touch the glass with his hand, she also hurried to his side.

At this moment, when Hikaru touched the glass, it seemed to turn into a curtain of water. He could easily pass through that glass without using magic.

However, he knew that he could not go through this glass, he was entering the world inside the glass.

"Wait for me!"

Hikaru only heard Seraphen scream, then everything went dark again. All around him everything was black, there was no light, no sound, nothing.

A second later, Hikaru suddenly saw a familiar sight that met his eyes.

He was in his room, on Earth.
