Chapter 47: Soul Bond
"No, no, don't be too tense, Johan, I don't think he can see into the past—it's impossible." Melodis's hopeful voice rang in panicking Johan's ears.
"Then... this?" Johan asked hesitantly.
"Probably just his instincts, like... you kinda feel it when someone looks toward you. Take that to another level... let's just leave. No need to take risks." Melodis sighed.
'But you said it's impossible.' Johan mumbled a complaint before controlling the camera. "If he can't do anything, then let's just watch what he does..." Johan made a quick decision.
But just before they could leave, they heard mocking laughter.
"Don't be too happy. I will find you!"
The 'camera' flew higher, a few hundred feet. Lucifer looked just like a dot, but they both still felt pressure from his deep stare and angry laughter.
Lucifer took a deep breath and gently clapped his hands. The 'camera' changed—they were near a sea—the Dark Seas, the known deepest water body said to be infested with billions of creatures, most of them dangerous predatory monsters.
There were thousands of quests made every year to the Hunter's Guild to find new things about this sea from different kingdoms, but 95% of them always failed completely. Only the quests led directly by Mantles with support from kingdom high powers had any chance of succeeding at all.
Like the one where Radhaan, Velmire, and the Mantle of Rust went with a 100-strong team of hunters, all Stage 0.
Lucifer, with an unpleasant expression, flew over the visible center of the Dark Seas, scoffing as he threw away the dead body, turning the surrounding water crimson for a moment before it mixed with the currents.
