Lord Shadow

Chapter 1731: A Hunter and An Alchemist

Nowadays, she would feel tired when she uses her energies.

The pressure of the world weakens themes when they uses their energies.

In the past, eating and drinking for Disk Formation levelers is more about feeling.

Azief himself did not eat or drink when he reaches Disk Formation leveler but he eats and drinks just because it is like a habit.

Eating itself has some flavours.

So eating is no longer a need but a want.

And eating itself has evolved in this new world with many cuisine that have properties to it that make people ”want” to eat.

The same case for drinking. Azief drinks coffee.

He is not thirsty nor he needed to drink. But for Azief when it is about eating and drinking, he simply does it so that he did not forget that he was human.

This feeling of losing oneself is hardly understood by Sofia. Only after she reached the same level, she understood how terrifying it is to lose..... yourself

But nowadays, feeling of hunger returned.

Though this hunger could be alleviated by absorbing energies, it is not as good as eating and drinking

It is still did not reach the level of ”need”

But, food and drinking could no longer so easily be ignored like in the past.

As for her? Right now? Dipping her toes on the stream? It is because water had also evolved.

Now, as she puts her toes inside the stream, she could feel the energy that is in the water travels across her body.

And she takes a deep breath, smiling as she feel herself rejuvenated

Looking around, she looks as the crane finally had its fill and with one swing of its wing, it flew high up in the sky, and as it flew toward the clouds, it become translucent before becoming totally invincible

The antelopes that had run before returns back. Looking at her and then after seeing that she did not do anything to them, this antelope drinks the water of the stream

Sofia look at all of this with wonder.

Then she look back at the sky. She squint like she wanted to see something. But the things she wanted to see could not be seen and so she could only sigh. ”The world become even more complicated” and she could not help but sigh. Then she closes her eyes and enjoys the feeling of the water running over her feet.

Sofia regarded herself as more of a hunter.

She was never at ease at her position in Pandemonium. And she is not good at political maneuvering in the World Government either.

In the beginning of the Fall, she did try to be more like Azief. She tries to be more like Sina. But everyone makes mistake

And it is because she try, she makes mistakes. And because she makes mistake, she knows who she is.

Those who did not make mistake, never try. And when you make a mistake, you could let that mistake define you, or you could let that mistake guide you to be better.

And her mistake makes her learns more about herself than most of her success.

She knows who she is now. she found it easier just to hunt. Maybe it has something to do with her class. Or maybe she likes that when she pulls her bow, look at her target, her mind is not scattered.

She likes that in that one moment she could just focus on the target in front of her. That in that one moment, all that exist in the world is her and the target.

She is not like Azief. Azief is a temperamental man. His like and dislike is easy to fathom. At least it was. When Sofia first knows Azief, he was this gloomy man

But there is honesty in his words. And it is easy to see what he likes and dislike. What he wanted and did not want.

Then life happens to him just like it happens to her.

And he changed. Just like she had changed. And as time passes by, Azief become more and more unfathomable. It is hard to see what he is thinking about. It is even harder to know what he likes and dislike. Behind that cold expressionless face of him, who knows what he is thinking

And before, his gloominess is easy to detect. But as Azief grows stronger, he become more majestic and more mysterious that it unnerves people. And whether Sofia wanted to admit it or not, she too become a little bit scared.

Sofia even if she did not say it, she relies a lot on him.

She opens back her eyes and once again look at the sky ”You are still up there, huh?” she mutters to herself. And then she got up and wears back her shoes and decided to turns in for the day.

When she returns to her camp, she was surprised to see someone waiting for her.

It is Sina, leaning on her cabin, a smile on her face, dressing in her green robe. She smiles a little and then chuckles ”Hey” she greets her while waving her hand

Even though Sina wears a veil to disguise her face she immediately recognize Sina. And that voice.

There is also the fact that Sofia did not share her location to many people and only a few people knows that she is here.

And one such person is Sina. ”Come in” she said as she come close to her cube cabin and the door opens almost immediately.

The cube cabin is like a futuristic cargo container. It is stored easily inside a Space Pill. When one throws this pill to the ground it will turns into a large cabin.

The Order of Thinkers took the idea from Dragon Ball.

The container itself does not look like normal container room.

Instead, it looks more like a luxurious glamping experience when you enter it.

And Sofia is not someone with a lack of energy stones. Her cabin is not only large. It could fly, could float and when you enter inside the cabin, the protective formation would instantly be activated.

The inside itself is like a luxurious room, decorated with modern design like a high-end apartment before the Fall.

Azief likes those classical themes and sometimes he likes his residence to have nature on them like those traditional wooden houses in Japan.

But Sofia likes this kind of modern design. Some people like to decorate it medieval style but she always feel more at ease with this kind of modern design

Maybe because before the Fall, she wanted to live in a place like this.

Sina enters the cabin and when the cabin door closed, it is like she had enter a different world. ”Nice crib”

Sofia only smiles as she take a seat on one of the chairs. Sina on the other hand seat herself on the bed. ”Want some tea?”

Sina only smiles and then waves her hand. The cup on the kitchen desk floats and goes to the sink

The faucet turned on, water falls down inside the cup and then gently floats back toward Sina before landing on a small table.

The small table then slide itself toward Sina and stop just a few inches away from the bed in front of Sina.

Then Sina clicks her finger and the water inside the cup is quickly heated as she bring something out from her sleeve.

It is a pouch ”Whatʼs that?” ”My tea bag. Itʼs my medication nowadays”

She smiles as she said it. She brought some of the tea leaves and put it in the hot boiling water as the tea leaves dissolves almost immediately and her tea is complete

Sofia on the other hand frowned ”Youʼre sick?” just saying it makes her feel incredulous.

Before the Multiversal Convergence it is generally accepted that when you reach a certain level, you no longer feel sick. It is just that they did not understand the world

Sickness of those who reach high level is different from mortal sickness. And sickness also had evolved.

The virus also evolved. Humans grows strong, the world grows stronger, the monster grows stronger, so how could the virus also not get stronger

They also get stronger. And people like Sina, even though she is already in Disk Formation level also has sickness

Sina could see that Sofia face pales and she shakes her head ”The illness is not that bad” ”Is it a virus?”

At this Sina did not immediately answer. Instead, she took the cup in front of her and take a sip

Feeling the freshness and the rich flavor of the tea, she could not help but close her eyes and shakes her head with a smile, appreciating the flavor of the tea

Opening her eyes, she put down the tea cup ”Ah, that hit the spot”

Then she look back at Sofia and shakes her head. ”donʼt worry. It is not a virus.”

There is silence in the room. Sofia is still staring at her. And Sina chuckles

She clearly wanted some explanation ..
