"Tiki!"
Kieran cried out in shock.
He sized up his surroundings.
In front of him was a straight stone path, behind him was a stone door, and in front of him was Tiki, who had retracted all four of its hooves and was yawning non-stop.
Of course, that was not the most important thing.
The most important thing was that when Kieran appeared, the system notifications popped up one after another.
[Sub Mission: Support (Completed)]
[Main Mission: Open the Unknown Stone Door (Completed)]
[Player will leave the special dungeon in 5 minutes …]
[Please take whatever items you wish to keep with you!]
(Note: Items that exceed the maximum weight limit will be automatically identified as items that cannot be brought out of the dungeon!)
...
Kieran stared at the notifications.
As long as Kieran was not an idiot, he would know that the stone door behind him was the one that he could not even take a look at the last time.
And now?
Pushing the stone door open?
He had not done anything, yet he had entered it.
He even saw an unexpected "person" inside.
Tiki the cat.
Kieran could not describe the cat, so he could only treat it as a human.
-T!
"Yes, yes, it's me!"
Tiki nodded repeatedly, looking at the surprised Kieran with a smile on its face.
The smile on the fat cat's face made it look like a charmingly naive cat.
However, Kieran did not care about the cat's expression at all.
"So this is all Rei's plan?"
Following Tiki's appearance, almost all of Kieran's doubts were answered.
From the prophecy, followed by the Sunshine Mary, then Mardos, followed by the Holy Knight's trial and the appearance of the God's shadow.
Every single piece of information seemed to be independent.
They formed a crisscross network of clues.
Why would Nikorei, the God of Earth, make such a prophecy?
It might seem like a joke, but it was all part of her plan.
It might have started from the moment Kieran became her assistant.
The Sunshine Mary, a mystical auction ship that had been missing for many years, appeared on the golden beach of the West Coast.
Coincidentally, Mardos was also among them, and it began to attract the attention of the East Coast mystics.
Some evil spirits and monsters appeared soon after. Various mysterious forces, organizations, and even the Templars appeared.
Coincidentally, 'Mardos' was able to restrain the most astonishing existence among them: the afterimages of 'gods'.
Hu!
Kieran couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He was suppressing his anger.
Anyone who was deceived and manipulated like a puppet would be enraged after being toyed with.
"Angry?"
Tiki asked with a smile.
"En!"
Kieran had no intention of hiding it.
He was used to disguise himself in front of strangers, but he was willing to reveal everything in front of acquaintances.
Especially when the source of the anger came from the other party.
"What if everything I told you is really a coincidence?"
Teach asked.
"Do you think I'm a fool?"
Kieran snorted coldly and secretly raised his guard.
He had already prepared for the worst.
Fortunately, he only needed a little more time to leave this dungeon world.
"Then do you really think Rei is omniscient and has predicted everything from the start?"
Tiki didn't seem to notice Kieran's guard. It yawned again and asked.
"Why not?"
Kieran frowned. He didn't think Nikorei could really be omniscient and omnipotent. Although many people described some 'gods' as such, Kieran knew it was just a lie. However, it didn't mean that Kieran was willing to believe that Nikorei didn't have any arrangements at all.
"You appearing here … and the invitation from before, don't tell me it's also a coincidence!"
Kieran said.
"Of course I have my own arrangements for appearing here. I am the last line of insurance, the last line of insurance!"
"As for the invitation?"
Tiki was sizing Kieran up with a special gaze as it said that.
Under the gaze, Kieran felt chills running down his back. Inside [Fusion Heart], the Devil Force, Eye of Chimeras and the Holy Knight's soul started to beat rapidly.
Just when Kieran thought Tiki would make a move, the fat cat returned to normal.
It continued to look at Kieran with its lazy gaze.
"It's fate. Rei sent out a lot of invitations and the only ones who could understand, believe and come to West Coast City are the few of you!
In fact, I never believed in fate. "
Tiki sounded like it was stating a fact.
However, right away, the gaze that sent chills down Kieran's back appeared again.
But soon enough, it faded away again.
"Until you appeared!
"Incomparably coincidental events have appeared around you, and you've always been able to turn danger into safety through these coincidences, increasing your own strength …"
It's beyond the realm of luck.
That's why I asked Nikorei for this mission to meet you and from the looks of it, it's really not bad at all! "
As it spoke, a smile appeared on the cat's face again.
"Rei wasn't wrong, she never was, but this time she made a mistake!
Although it's just a small mistake, Rei will be very embarrassed. I haven't seen her like that for a long time, I really miss it … "
Kieran raised a brow when he saw Tiki's intoxicated look.
He really didn't want to see a cat intoxicated by its own actions.
Especially with so many doubts in his mind.
"Why?
Why did Rei do that?
"Does she really think that I can accomplish everything that she has predicted?"
Kieran interrupted Tiki right away.
In fact, it was what made Kieran the most angry.
Being fooled by a person who thought he cared about himself but actually treated him like a piece of grass wasn't a pleasant experience at all.
It was even more so for an orphan like Kieran.
His coldness was extremely firm, rejecting most people.
However, his heart behind the coldness was extremely soft.
After the indifference was removed, any careless touch was enough to hurt this unguarded heart.
However, Kieran stubbornly refused to admit it.
He stared at Tiki.
Waiting for an answer.
"Of course not!
Rei arranged a lot of backup but other than Charles, she didn't use any of them. Aren't you curious why other than the Sanctuary, you didn't run into anyone from Dark Star, Night Demon, Unicorn, White Deer or Polaris during your time on the West Coast?
It's all because of Rei's care!
"However, she still underestimated you. This is also a small mistake she made!"
But don't expect her to be honest with you, some things can't be explained with words anymore! "
Tiki shook its head.
Kieran wasn't satisfied with the answer. He frowned again.
He couldn't tell whether Tiki was telling the truth or not.
He needed more information to make a decision.
"What is Rei trying to do?
What is she trying to do? "
Kieran asked.
"I really want to tell you, but your strength … is still a little lacking, so …"
Tiki dragged its tone.
"No comment?"
Kieran looked at Tiki with a mocking gaze.
He was very familiar with this kind of trick.
He thought it was Tiki's refusal.
"No, no!
I wanted to make an exception and tell you, but your attitude pissed me off, so you have to find the answer yourself!
Oh right, I forgot to tell you something. Cats don't hold grudges, because …
All the grudges have been avenged! "
Tiki then appeared in front of Kieran.
It raised its paw and slapped.
It didn't really hit Kieran, but Kieran flew towards Tiki's direction like a comet.
"Have a safe trip, kid!"
Tiki waved its paw when it saw Kieran disappear from its sight.
Then, it looked at the direction where Kieran came from. The aura in its tiny body was 10 times stronger than before, and it exploded right away.
"Close behind?"
"You still haven't given up!"
Then … "
"All of you shall perish in a puff of smoke!"
Tiki said as it raised its paw and swung it again.
The passageway vanished.
All that was left was a void.
A couple of shining figures were hiding in the void.
Then, the sky fell and the earth cracked.
The void crumbled.
A couple of figures cried out in shock.
But it was useless.
They had no chance to turn the tides in the face of the destructive power.
Everything returned to its original state.
