Chapter 420: Kitty is high level now, too!
Conrad's eyes gleamed, for suspicion mostly sprouted within his heart. He hadn't expected one of those annoying guys to propose such an offer. No one could casually enter the divine cat's mirror world.
In that world, people would face different kinds of enemies related to their roots. Anyone would benefit by spending time in that world, yet it wasn't as simple as it sounded.
People could die here. And no one could just enter and leave upon a wish. The least time one could spend in that world was an hour.
Thus, if someone faced an opponent that they couldn't handle, their chances of dying skyrocketed, and it was no longer training but a battle to the death.
Mirror World was also tricky as participants could meet each other under a few conditions. History already had some greedy folks fighting each other here alongside their mirrored enemies.
"It's up to them whether they want to enter the world. I will speak with them about it," Conrad replied, then asked the last question, "Anything else?"
"Not really," the man chuckled, then turned around. Everyone else except Conrad's friends followed him. And after some casual talk with his friends, Conrad entered his house, looking at the patriarch's pleased face with a grin.
He gave him a taste of cat food, then the odd event began.
"Heaven!"
Follow current on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlex and Schnee were at a loss of words.
"Mirror World? Why not?" Schnee tilted her head. She wouldn't chicken out before a challenge, and that world helped people advance significantly. Perhaps, Schnee would increase her sin energy and become even stronger here.
Alex also looked forward to that world. He knew that Elias Deathwill fought himself here, and he formed a great skill that significantly raised his power. What would Alex receive from that world?
What would he face? He was interested.
Conrad voiced his opinion after the patriarch agreed with two youngsters, "It's just suspicious that those annoying folks brought it out right off the bat. There's a chance they might be using the old tactic."
"Old tactic?" Alex asked.
"Our thirty-fourth patriarch had been killed in the mirror world by the opposition. It's a long and old story, but he was ganged up by others. Bastards who faked the adventure outside had hidden in the mirror world, then killed him." Conrad's explanation brought uncomfortable vibes to the room.
The patriarch stepped in, "There's always a risk. But since Alex and Schnee are players, nothing bad should happen to them."
"As you said, there's always risk…." Conrad sighed. He glanced at Schnee, then clicked his tongue. And even though he looked so fed-up with the events, there was a genuine worry behind his eyes.
Schnee's mother was still gone, and her status was unknown. She could've been already killed or died in the vast world — no one knew. Her name was Myu, and she was the daughter of a woman that Conrad genuinely loved.
He had many of these women, just like other people of his status.
And the granddaughter, the only one carrying her blood, just returned home to be thrown into the mirror world? Conrad was genuinely worried and irked by those events.
"Don't be such a worrywart, grandpa! I will survive, and Alex will find me in case it takes too much time," Schnee reassured her grandpa without any of her usual teases and troublesome personality, looking warm and innocent.
"Sigh… I can't stop you, even if I want," Conrad sighed, then helped Schnee prepare for the event. He glanced at Alex's level, then took his granddaughter to the leveling ground with monsters.
Schnee had been grinning like a kid who was about to get the best present.
Alex followed them, enjoying the bonding of grandpa and granddaughter.
[Schnee Deathwill Lv. 345]
It only took half a day for Schnee to level up to such heights. Her grandpa caught so many monsters and weakened them through odd means. Recalling how Schnee also could use those bizarre techniques, Alex had been gawking at the show with big and curious eyes.
The sky was turning darker, yet the day was far from over. With her new strength, Schnee needed an opponent to adapt to her might. She naturally clashed with Alex.
And as the night took over the realm, Alex and Schnee went to the mirror world.
That would be the real challenge, and they couldn't wait anymore.
For some reason, there was quite a big crowd here. Alex spotted many men around Schnee's age who had been daggering him with their eyes ever since he appeared.
Follow current on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThose hundred years old existences were jealous of him, for Schnee was beautiful and surely a strong woman!
He smirked, then entered the highly protected mansion together with his girl. But as Schnee also could read the mood, she put her hand on Alex's — which was on her waist, then slid it down to her ass.
Alex knew she wanted to rile up her admirers, so he played along. He grasped her ass tightly, causing many pairs of eyes to go bloodshot. He couldn't help but enjoy their reaction, then his mood quickly evaporated as Schnee's grandpa and patriarch glared at them.
"Hehe."
"…"
While Schnee was in a good mood and kept grinning to herself, Alex remained silent and looked quite apologetic. It was not a time to tease others as many respectful people were around.
Had it been only people around Schnee's age, he wouldn't have had such a reaction.
"This is the only way to enter the mirror world," the patriarch pointed at the vast mirror, which was like a wall itself. It didn't reflect everything. But as Alex and Schnee wanted to enter it, their reflections soon appeared within it.
Conrad nodded, then warned his granddaughter and her beloved, "Stall for an hour if your enemy is too strong. No matter what, you will be able to leave the world after an hour, and no creation will chase you.
The same can't be said about real living beings, but I will be on standby." Conrad's eyes flickered with killing intent.
The patriarch chuckled, then added, "I will be with you. Today's night bodes to be long." He glanced outside, then smiled at youngsters before urging them to enter the mirror world.
And the most world-changing event started immediately after these two entered the mirror world.
