Aurora glances over in an apron and smiled as she waved.
"Hey Miya!" Aurora shouted with a wave as she places down barbecue on a plate.
Miya glances at the plates and notices how many piece of meat there is on the meat. She chuckles as she sat down.
"How've you been?" says Miya with a smile as she takes a plate of barbecue.
"I've been well. You?" Aurora continues putting barbecue on the plates and trays.
"I've been ok. Although, the Dark Sea was one of the scarier places to be in." she chuckles nervously.
"Ah yes. You escaped in one piece. Although, I'm assuming Karlie helped you out?" says Aurora.
Miya glanced at her, having a piece of meat in her mouth with her eyebrows raised.
"You know Karlie Katagari?" Miya asks with curiousity.
"Hm? Yup, we've been friends." her answer was short but simple.
"I see." Miya responds calmly.
Aurora sat down next to her as she summoned a bowl of rice and vegetables and added the barbecue into the bowl.
She started eating while Miya was already on her second piece of meat.
Aurora notices this and was in total surprise, not expecting someone to be this hungry, even after a suicidal mission.
"Here I thought you were just a copy variation of yourself, but knowing you're actually here and survived is interesting, although you would be dead a long time ago." says Aurora as they both finished their piece of meat.
They both throw the meat bone away into the trash can as Aurora snaps the grill away.
"Well, I'm only here to say congrats on surviving the Dark Sea Universe. I could survive by myself pretty easily if I wanted to head over there." says Aurora wuth a smile as she disappears.
"Thanks Aurora." Miya murmurs to herself as she smiles rhen stood up.
Miya vanished in thin air, but was actually so fast, it looked like she teleported away. She had continued hopping from mountain to mountain.
She continued hopping, until she noticed someone in the far distance.
Who's that? Could be an innocent citizen, but their mana level is high and their presence is immense... I'll go check it out. Miya's thoughts were calm as she went to them.
"Hey, you ok? You're on top of this cold mountain. You should get down!" says Miya with concern.
The guy glanced over to her and his eyes were pitch black as he collapsed.
Her eyes widened and stood there confused.
What the—? Pitch black eyes? I'll need to check his pulse. She became worried and concerned, yet suspicious.
Miya puts her two fingers on his neck and wrist, checking for a pulse. But there was none.
No pulse. Possession? Can't be... this is getting weird. Her thoughts became suspicious as she stepped away from the body and started looking around.
«Hey, it's me, Aurora. I heard about the body. What happened?» says Aurora telepathetically.
"Not sure! That's what I'm trying to figure out right now. It can't be possession, someone would need to move out quickly if it was that. But it wasn't. Possession is different from this!" Miya shouts as she continued hopping from mountain to mountain at light speed, wind hitting her face.
«I see.. if it wasn't [Possession], then it could be a [Curse Possessor], a skill that requires no magic, but some type of debuff skill on a molecular level to cause something like that.» says Aurora telepathetically as her voice carries some concern.
"Maybe! I'll contact you whenever I find this person who's doing it!" Miya continues shouting as she hops through mountains and caves.
«Got it. Stay safe!» Aurora shouts telepathetically as her voice disappears.
Miya continues glancing around looking for the person, but has yet to find them,or something.
Dammit... where could this person be? Could it be an object that grants curses? No. Can't be. It must be a person, a skilled one at that. says Miya as she lands at a vast grassy area.
She notices somebody standing in front of her, flipping a coin upwards, wearing a suit, black hair and piercing red eyes.
They glanced over and notices her presence.
"Oh? I've been found." sighs the mysterious person.
"Well then, I've been waiting for a challenger for hours, but one has yet to appear, until now. Surprised it's a girl as well." he says with a smile on his face.
Who does this guy think he is? Also, is he the one who put a curse on that guy on top of the mountain? Her mind analyzes him carefully as he shoots a glare at her.
"Well, my name is Vōniur Ito. Pleasure to meeting one of the Katagari family." his smile was calm, making it seem like he is an innocent bystander as he flips his coin constantly.
Vōniur? That's a name in the language of Welsh... interesting name.. Miya's thoughts remained calm as she continued analyzing him carefully.
"Oh? Analyzing me I see.." Vōniur chuckles softly as he glances at her power level and mana level.
Oh? Her power level is insanely high, and mana level? Almost infinite. That second awakening from that Fragment Crystal must've been a massive power gap than that first one she achieved.. she's more powerful than I thought. His thoughts were calm as he stood there and caught his coin.
He had a smug look on his face and stood there, six feet away from Miya.
What is he so smug about? He's confident he can beat me... I'll have to put in some effort... his presence is overwhelming though. Her thoughts slowly became panicked, but mostly calm.
Vōniur had put his hand out into a finger gun motion and pointed at her. Miya glances at him confused about his hand gesture.
What—? A finger gun? No. Keep your guard up.. it could be dangerous. She stayed calm and summoned out her mana imbued katana. As Vōniur's hand went up, a short light beam had flew towards Miya.
She blocked it with her katana, but the beam had a massive amount of force via [Magic Control] in which caused her katana to crack.
Holy shit! How much mana did he put in that one singular attack?! Her thoughts went from calm, to surprise immediately as she stepped back few meters.
"Oh wow, didn't think you even blocked that. You must've coat it with a large amount to even leave a crack, how impressive." says Vōniur with a calm smile. He was being smug as he stood there.
"Thanks. Your attack though... was overwhelming a bit." says Miya as her hand trembles a lot from blocking that attack.
Overwhelming a bit my ass! That was extremely overwhelming! I thought I wouldn't be able to stop that! Her mind panicked, knowing her words were a lie.
Vōniur stood there like nothing happened, it was like he was waiting for something.
Huh? He's just standing there... waiting for me to attack? I'm not that stupid. She tries to calm down, and slowly stopped the shaking of her hands.
"Finally done trembling? Well, let's continue our little fun sparring shall we?" says Vōniur as the wind picks up aggressively.
His black side and middle bangs flows through the wind as he puts his hands in his red suit coat. His pants were black and his shirt was white with black boots.
This sparring match is more like death... Her thoughts calmed down as he puts his hand out.
"Let's see how well you do in space yeah?" says Vōniur with a genuine and calm smile on his face.
Miya shoots a glare at him and charges towards him at light speed. Vōniur kept his hand out and his smile widened.
[Battlefield Attack: World Removal]
As Miya was as far as a meter from attacking Vōniur, his invisible attack had sent Miya all the way up into space at such a speed that it was instant.
Miya, was then sent to the moon. She had crashed landed into the moon. Vōniur kept his smile on his face.
"That worked really well. I'll meet her up there right now, now that I think about." says Vōniur as he disappeared and floated in front of Miya while floating in empty space.
Miya laid there on the moon while Vōniur floated in front of her three feet away.
"Is that all? Although, I expected you to be stronger, but I know that's not everything." says Vōniur as Miya stood up and wiped off all the moon dust from her clothes.
"Oh? You're interesting. I've faced one of the family from your little family, she was powerful as hell I can tell you that much." he says with a smile.
"Who...?" says Miya as she glances at him confused.
"It was Karlie Katagari, she's not as weak as I thought." Vōniur smiles as the mention of Karlie had brought memories to Miya.
"You know her?" says Miya as she was confused.
"Yeah, your ancestor from 5,000 years ago who obtained immortality, I was alive that time." says Vōniur as he continued smiling at Miya.
"Well, no more talking, let's continue this fight shall we?" Vōniur cuts off as he floated there, three feets away from Miya.
