Become a powerful shadow master in the new world

"There's no problem this time. To be more precise, the problem with the one I gave you before was because you wanted to default on your debt. If you can complete the transaction honestly, I will also modify the spell in the crystal on the spot."

"Ahahaha, that's good. After all, if there are any problems this time, I'll just have to blow this place up to wake myself up."

Taking out a photo from his arms, Jade Xiu threatened coldly.

Seeing the photo, Aiba Asagi also showed an angry expression, clenched her fists tightly, and then loosened them after a moment.

"Now that I have the things, please take me away quickly. Staying with you for even one second is torture."

The fact that he was almost scolding her made Jia Dexiu a little angry, but he didn't show much reaction on the surface. He looked at the time before speaking seriously.

"Ms. Magician, you may have some misunderstandings about us. I think we need to clarify them. Fortunately, I still have some time to explain it slowly."

"Tsk, can you put away your hypocritical expression? If you have any purpose, please tell me directly. You make me sick."

"Okay, okay, it seems that Miss Magician doesn't like to be nagged, so I'll just say it straight.

Join us, Miss Magician. I need your unique talent. With your help, when the plan succeeds, we will build a kingdom that belongs exclusively to the orcs, and you will be the only human in it. "

"Heh... it's really disgusting. Why do you think I lack the support of other forces? You even said you want to establish an orc kingdom. You are really pushing the issue without thinking. What do you think you can do to establish it? Just based on your identity as a terrorist."

With a sneer, Lan Yu Qian Cong mocked Jia Dexiu unscrupulously.

"It seems that Miss Weaver doesn't believe it. It's okay. We can wait slowly. But I have to tell Miss Weaver first that the thing you want is very rare, so if Miss Weaver wants it, you must join us."

"Isn't it enough to get something for nothing once?"

"..."

Jadexiu's face darkened. Lanyu Qiancong's repeated failure to give him face had exhausted all his patience. With a wave of his hand, an orc strode forward, took out a rope and wanted to tie up Lanyu Qiancong.

"Ms. Magician, you are not in a clear state right now, so you made this choice. It's okay. I can wait until you figure it out, Miss Magician, and then I will let you go."

Seeing the orcs walking towards him, he surrendered himself obediently. Lanyu Asagi knew that he was no match for them, so he let himself be tied up.

"It's clearly coercion, but they use such high-sounding excuses. It's really despicable that they beat around the bush when doing bad things.

But I'd like to see how you guys are going to convince me."

Before leaving, Lan Yu Asagi made a sarcastic remark.

Chapter 153: Awakening and Fighting the First Stage Boss

In the dark, cold world, Setsuna Himeragi curled up, feeling inexplicable pain all over her body. It was not the pain that usually comes from physical injury, but the pain as if there were bugs gnawing at her flesh and blood inside her body.

As the light in this dark world grew dimmer and the temperature dropped lower, the aches and pains all over my body began to subside.

But as the strange soreness subsided, Himeragi Setsuna's limbs gradually lost control and sense of touch.

Low temperature, darkness, and paralysis are truly torture to the soul.

Unable to escape the mental torture by falling asleep, Himeragi Setsuna is in a state of wide awakeness, but unable to sense the outside world. She can only feel the cold and see darkness.

There is no point in calculating time. Himeragi Yukina's paralyzed senses cannot perceive the outside world. The only thing she can do now is to try her best to prevent her mind from collapsing.

……

Such familiar warmth!

It might have been a few seconds, a few minutes, or even a few days, but for the first time, Himeragi Setsuna felt something other than the cold.

At the same time as this warmth appeared, the feeling of her limbs reappeared in Setsuna Himeragi's senses.

Although she still felt weak and couldn't see anything, Himeragi Setsuna still followed the direction of the warmth she felt.

This was her only chance of survival now. She had to follow whatever was ahead. She couldn't imagine how long she could endure if she returned to her previous state.

I don’t know how long I followed that warmth, but a ray of light appeared in the endless darkness.

Following the light, Himeragi Yukina vaguely saw a figure. Who was that figure?

"Senior?"

Sid's keen hearing allowed him to hear the faint sound coming from his back, which was almost inaudible.

He was slightly stunned, looked back, and met eyes with Himeragi Setsuna, who seemed still sleepy. Then he turned his head to look at Kirasaka Sayaka on the right, who had not yet noticed that Himeragi Setsuna had woken up, and spoke in a low voice.

"Kurosaka, Setsuna is awake."

Upon hearing the news, Kirasaka Sayaka subconsciously turned her head to look at Setsuna Himeragi on Cid's back. Seeing that Setsuna Himeragi had a listless look on her face but was indeed awake, she showed a hint of joy and went forward to check.

"Xue Cai, you finally woke up."

Himeragi Setsuna, who was concerned about Kirasaka Sayaka, did not answer her, but looked around in confusion as if she had not woken up yet.

"Senior... Sayaka? Where am I and why can't I move my body?"

"Relax, your whole body is just paralyzed and you have lost your sense of the outside world. To be precise, you can still move your head."

After pinching Himeragi Setsuna's face and seeing that there was no sign of pain on her face, Sid chose to tell the truth.

"Have you lost your senses? Then where are we now?"

"The base of the terrorist group that kidnapped you. We just rescued you."

"Oh...wait, Sayaka, why is Senior here?!"

As if she had just realized that his appearance here was unusual, Himeragi Yukina looked at Kirasaka Sayaka and asked.

She could understand why Kirasaka Sayaka appeared here. Given their friendship, if she was the one who escaped at that time, she would also sneak in here and try to rescue Kirasaka Sayaka.

But she couldn't understand why Sid was here. This matter had nothing to do with him. Why did Sid appear here?

"This……"

This question made Kirasaka Sayaka, who was standing beside, freeze up and she didn't know how to answer.

At that time, she only wanted to grab Sid, the only life-saving straw, but she never thought about how to explain to Himeragi Setsuna.

According to the deal she made with Sid, she needed to keep Sid's powerful strength a secret from Himeragi Setsuna in order to get Sid's help.

But the problem is, if Sid's hidden strength is not revealed, then in the eyes of Himeragi Setsuna, she, Kirasaka Sayaka, is a bad person who deceived a senior who was very kind to her and used him as a cannon fodder in order to save her life.

Keeping secrets is the first principle, but Kirasaka Sayaka doesn't want to be disliked for this, so she is in a dilemma during the interview.

"I took the initiative to ask Huangsaka to bring me here. One of my friends was also captured by these terrorists, and I want to rescue her."

When Kirasaka Sayaka was in trouble, Sid took the initiative to speak up to help Kirasaka Sayaka.

"Senior, you..."

After hearing this excuse, Himeragi Setsuna opened her mouth to persuade Sid not to do such dangerous behavior, but she got stuck halfway through her words. Her expression changed and she sighed.

"Forget it, it's not surprising if he's a senior. It's better to say that this is a senior."

Hearing this, Sid suddenly stopped moving forward and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"No, what's with your tone of voice that says you know me better than I do? And you said that if it's me, I'm not weird. Do you mean to say that I'm weird?"

"But you are indeed such a good person, Senior. Didn't you risk your life to save me before?"

"You think too much……"

Kirasaka Sayaka, who was standing by, had a strange look on her face as she listened to the quarrel between the two. She knew Sid's true strength, and the life-threatening danger that Himeragi Setsuna mentioned was probably her unilateral opinion.

"Speaking of which...Senior, is your friend the woman with long black hair and red eyes?"

"Eh? Setsuna, have you seen her?"

"Ah."

Thinking of the woman in front of her, Himeragi Setsuna nodded.

"Then do you know where Xue Cai is now? To be honest, the terrain here is a bit too complicated. I have been looking around for a while but still can't find where she is being held."

"I don't know, but she left me something saying I could find her and escape with her when the time comes."

"What is that? Can you show it to me?"

"Sure, it's in my pocket."

With the permission of Himehira Setsuna, Sid reached directly into Himehira Setsuna's pocket, and after some groping, he indeed took out a hard object that was half the size of a palm.

He spread it out in his hand and touched this thing that looked like an electronic component.

"Hi, hello everyone, I'm Moguwai."

A mechanical electronic sound suddenly came from the small component in front of them, causing Cid and Kirasaka Sayaka to look at each other in bewilderment.

"Moguwai, I'm Sid, I'm here to save..."

"Well, I know, I know. You are the helpers specially found by the young lady. Now you have to go and save the young lady, right?"

"……Correct."

"Please point the camera forward. I'm going to compare the route the young lady took just now. Just follow the route."

As he finished speaking, a route appeared on one side of the device in Sid's hand.

With a free guide, there was no need to check every place one by one. Sid was willing to relax and followed the route pointed out by Moguwai.

"Hey, you're not really going to save anyone, are you?"

She quickly approached Sid and saw that Himeragi Setsuna looked listless. Kirasaka Sayaka put her head next to Sid's ear and questioned him in a low voice, lowering her voice.

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

After looking behind him, Sid also lowered his voice and replied to Kirasaka Sayaka.

"Of course there is a problem. It is wrong to watch someone die without helping. But now Xue Cai is poisoned. We don't have time to save a stranger."

The voice was very soft, but judging from the accelerated speed of her speech, Kirasaka Sayaka was anxious.

"Do you remember the group of orcs who led us to this place? The woman they kidnapped was indeed my friend."

Retracting his gaze, Sid explained

"…I'm sorry, I don't know your relationship with her."

After being stuck for a moment, Kirasaka Sayaka's gaze shifted to the right guiltily.

Putting herself in Sayaka's shoes, Kirasaka believes that to be called a friend by Cid, a cold-blooded person who is suspected to be the big boss behind the scenes, the relationship between that person and Cid must be similar to that between her and Setsuna, and both parties regard each other as an indispensable part of their lives.

If anyone dared to tell her to give up on saving Himeragi Setsuna, she would definitely stab that person with a sword immediately.

"Aren't you going to save your friend? I won't trouble you anymore. Leave the snow greens to me. I will go find the antidote myself. I will come back to you after I find the antidote."

Reaching out to hold Setsuna Himeragi on Sid's back, Kirasaka Sayaka felt that she had to shoulder the responsibility of saving Setsuna, and it would be better to wait until Setsuna Himeragi was cured before going to find Sid.

In response to Kirasaka Sayaka's offer of help, Sid just shook his head and shrugged his shoulders. Sid said this in a half-indifferent, half-comforting tone.

"It's okay. We're friends, but we're not that familiar with each other."

Hearing this, Kirasaka Sayaka was shocked, stopped and stood there in a daze.

"But, but you just didn't..."

"It's the same thing. My friend's position in my heart is similar to that of Himeragi Setsuna. I'd feel a little sad if they died or parted ways, but that's all.

So in a sense, you don't actually need to ask me for help, because even if I hadn't met you, as long as I saw my friend being kidnapped on the road, I would most likely come here to rescue him.

And if I knew that Setsuna was here while I was rescuing people, I wouldn't mind bringing her out with me."

Kirasaka Sayaka was so shocked that her mouth opened wide.

Ignoring Sayaka Kirasaka, Sid followed the route displayed on the screen. When he saw that he was halfway along the route, he stopped.

A little puzzled by Sid's sudden stop, but not too concerned, Kirasaka Sayaka took a big step forward and tried to pass Sid, but was interrupted by Sid raising his hand halfway through. At the same time, she leaned close to the wall and listened attentively at the corner in front of her.

Kirasaka Sayaka is not stupid. When she sees Sid's actions, she realizes something is wrong and moves closer to the wall with Sid.

"Heh, heh, heh..."

Very faint but scattered footsteps came from around the corner.

"There are about fifteen of them. They probably don't have any weapons, but it's possible that they have guns, so I suggest you avoid them..."

After judging the approximate number, Kirasaka Sayaka planned to avoid them. Himeragi Setsuna's awakening meant that Cid's fighting power was sealed. She didn't have the confidence to defeat all of them by herself without using any techniques.

But before she could finish her words, Sid interrupted her by placing a hand on her shoulder.

【Don't be timid, just go ahead. 】

Turning around and meeting Sid's gaze, Kirasaka Sayaka's face twisted when she understood what Sid meant by his eyes.

[Are you serious? We are infiltrating. It is impossible to conceal the disappearance of such a large group of people. Didn't we avoid them when we met them before? ]

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Kirasaka Sayaka didn't dare to speak anymore and could only express her doubts with her eyes.
