Becoming a Shadow in the New World

"master?"

The silence on the other end made Sayaka uneasy, and she tentatively asked a question.

"There's a problem with the selection of a person for a mission at the Lion King Organization. Take a look at the mission information and decide for yourself whether you want to accept it."

Upon hearing a reply from the other end, Sayaka's first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief; her master's silence had truly frightened her.

Chapter Sixty-Three: Ita is very clever

"What? You want me to go to Itogami Island to monitor the Fourth Progenitor!"

The news was so shocking that the girl's voice rose a few decibels.

"It's not that I'm asking you to go, it's your choice whether or not to go."

The cold voice coming from the phone barely calmed Sayaka Kirasaka down.

"It's your choice. Um... Master, I don't think I'm capable of handling the task of monitoring the Fourth True Ancestor. I'd appreciate it if you could find someone else."

It's not that Kirasaka Sayaka is being modest. You'd think that an ordinary Maiden like her would be qualified to monitor the Fourth Progenitor.

No, it should be said that even if the Three Saints went to monitor the Fourth True Ancestor, they would most likely be instantly killed by one of the Fourth True Ancestor's familiars.

After all, the True Ancestors have already proven with facts that there is a precipitous gap between the Vampire True Ancestors of World 2 and the others in World 2. There are only three or four True Ancestors in the entire World 2 with SSS-level and top fifteen combat power in the world, while the others are at most S+ level.

Sending her to monitor the legendary Fourth Ancestor is practically suicide!

"Okay, I understand. I will suggest to the Three Saints that we change the candidate for the mission."

"Phew, okay, thank you, Master."

The cool, clear voice put Kirasaka Sayaka at ease. She didn't want to die; if she did, she would never see her Yukina again, and Yukina would definitely be heartbroken by her death.

"By the way, Master, after I finish this mission, I plan to go back to Takagami no Mori to see Yukina. I want to know how Yukina is doing, whether she's eating well, and whether anyone is bullying her..."

Knowing that she wouldn't have to carry out such a dangerous mission, Kirasaka Sayaka felt relieved. Thinking that the mission was about to be completed, she casually inquired about the recent situation of her roommate, Himeragi Yukina.

At first, Sayaka Kirasaka was just asking casually. After all, given Yukina Himeragi's angelic personality, how could anyone bear to hurt her?

But as the other side failed to give a reply for a long time, Saya Kirasaka blinked and instantly realized what was going on.

"Master, Master, what's wrong with Yukina? What happened to Yukina? Master, please say something!"

"She's fine, but she's on a mission right now and isn't in the Forest of the High Gods."

"Mission? What mission?"

Sooner or later, Yukina Himeragi would have to carry out the mission assigned to her by the Lion King Organization, something Sayaka Kirasaka was already mentally prepared for.

But if it was just a normal mission, how could her master be so vague? Something must have happened to Yukina.

"What?! Yukina went to spy on the Fourth Progenitor!"

A delicate shout came from Saya Kirasaka's mouth, the phone she was holding fell onto the bed, her pupils widened, and her small mouth opened slightly.

The next second, Kirasaka Sayaka snapped out of her daze, immediately jumped off the bed, grabbed a weapon from the corner of the room, and ran straight out of the ship.

Meanwhile, as Sayaka Kirasaka was urgently buying tickets to Itogami Island, Sid suddenly sat up in bed.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Sid sat on the bed, panting heavily with sweat pouring down his face. His pajamas were soaked through. He put his hand on his chest and could feel his heart pounding wildly.

"What...what exactly is going on?"

Sid sat on the bed for a while, waiting for his heartbeat to gradually return to its normal rhythm, before finally asking the question.

He looks like he's having a nightmare right now, and he is indeed dreaming, but it's not a nightmare, it's a wet dream.

Because so much happened today, and because he had almost finished studying the core content in the library after nearly ten years of study there, he wanted to relax and take a nap.

He had expected a deep sleep that would reach his soul and relax his mind, but instead he had a wet dream that woke him up in fright.

"Is it puberty again?"

After calming down, Sid immediately suspected that it was caused by the puberty that had been bothering him and interfering with his training.

"No, that's impossible. This can't be explained by puberty at all."

Shaking his head, Sid dismissed the absurd idea; it couldn't be explained by adolescence anymore.

To give an analogy, deep sleep is like diving; the deepest part of the ocean is one's inner world.

In other words, during deep sleep, he will be looking directly into his own mind. In this state, if he can still have erotic dreams, does that mean he is a person whose mind is full of lewd thoughts?

No, that's impossible. His goal is to become a Shadow-level expert. Anything like that will only be a stumbling block on his path to becoming a Shadow-level expert.

So there's only one possibility: there was something wrong with his body, which caused him to wake up before reaching the deepest part of the ocean.

Deep sleep doesn't necessarily mean you can reach the deepest part of your mind; it just means that, without interference, a person may unconsciously touch upon their inner self.

This so-called interference could be a person's inner distractions, personality flaws, or emotions and desires aroused by external things.

Interference is like some sea monsters lurking in the depths of the ocean, which will suddenly jump out and bite you when you are diving.

Because people are unconscious during deep sleep, they cannot be sure whether they will encounter the deepest part of the sea—their own inner world—or the sea monsters lurking in the sea—distractions, flaws, and desires during their dive.

He was an exception; he could tell whether he was encountering the seabed or a sea monster, after all, it wasn't the first time he had ventured into his own inner world.

Before today's infiltration, when was the last time he infiltrated his own inner world?

I glanced around casually and noticed a milk jug lying in the trash can.

Yes, it must have been after Ita brought him milk that he stopped sleeping deeply. And judging from the fact that he drank a bottle of milk every day, it was probably eight or nine months ago when Ita brought him milk.

As for why he stopped sleeping deeply after Ita gave him milk…

The reason is quite simple: the milk that Ita gave him somehow had the effect of improving concentration, allowing him to spare a bit of his attention to the library while performing the triple magic training method.

Before that, he needed to enter a deep sleep state for an hour before each workout to get himself into the best condition before he could practice the Triple Magic Training Method while studying in the library.

Since he can maintain triple the training intensity without entering deep sleep, why should he enter deep sleep? Wouldn't it be better to use that hour of deep sleep for training?

"I've decided. I'll ask Natsuki-chan for leave tomorrow and go to Itana to have Itana help me get a medical check-up."

After examining his soul and spirit several times and confirming that there was absolutely nothing wrong, Sid suspected that the problem lay with his body.

The mind can influence the body, and the body can also influence the mind.

Of course, he didn't think that someone had affected his body and that his body was affecting his mind. He just thought that it might be because of his own messy behavior that he had caused problems with his body.

After all, his body is now immune to magic, so poisoning him is absurd. It's completely different from the existing Tree of Life in the world, and there's only one life system. How could he possibly poison him? He can't even treat the symptoms properly.

Of course, that's what they say, but nothing is absolute. His childhood friend, Ita, one of the Seven Shadows, is very smart, so smart that he thinks that if he shows Ita his body system once, Ita will be able to make the right medicine for him.

Of course, Ita would never harm him. They had such a good relationship and were childhood sweethearts; how could Ita possibly drug him?

Chapter Sixty-Four Ita

Drawings covered with various patterns were scattered on the floor, and the dim light was the only source of light in this gloomy room.

The petite, purple-haired elf lay on the table, her peaceful sleeping face and even breathing telling Sid that the girl was asleep.

As time went by, the girl's eyelids twitched slightly.

"Hmm... Ha!"

The girl stood up from the table, stretched her arms high, and the blanket draped over her shoulders slipped off with the movement, emitting an alluring moan.

Subconsciously, I took a drawing from the cabinet next to me and spread it out, but I noticed a shadow cast on the wall in the dim light.

After staring at the shadow for several seconds, the girl turned to look at Sid, who was blocking the light, and spoke as she turned.

"Master, I'm a little hungry. Do you have any food with you?"

Seeing Ita's series of reactions, Sid sighed with a slight headache.

"I brought two sandwiches. I originally wanted to give them to Alpha, but since you're hungry, Ita, you can have them first. I'll buy another sandwich for Alpha next time."

As he spoke, Sid threw the paper bag in his hand at Ita.

Ita didn't stand on ceremony. He manipulated his slime suit to extend tentacles and caught the paper bag that Sid threw to him in mid-air. He didn't care at all about what Sid said about "wanting to give it to Alpha." He tore open the paper bag and took out a sandwich to chew on.

"Ah... um, chew, chew."

Watching Ita bite into the sandwich, her cheeks puffing out like a hamster, Sid felt an increasing headache coming on.

The purple-haired elf in front of him was one of Sid's seven childhood friends, and the only one among the Seven Shadows who gave Sid a headache.

Terrible self-care abilities, a 12-hour sleep schedule, extravagant spending habits during experiments without considering the cost, unusual values, and an inability to hide one's uniqueness.

It's a miracle that Ita is still alive. He was raised by him when he was a child and cared for by Alpha. After he grew up and left his side, he was raised by Gamma and cared for by Beta.

Of course, as the saying goes, "When God closes a door, he opens a window," and Ita's self-destructive lifestyle is what she gains in return for her ridiculously high IQ.

Before Alpha and the others exposed his lie about the existence of the Diablo Order, in order to maintain his image as a Shadow Power, he played many tricks, often talking about scientific knowledge from his past life, and speaking in a particularly cryptic way.

It's difficult to connect any scientific knowledge to the answer if even he himself doesn't know it.

It was under these circumstances that Ita created a miracle; she actually connected the dots between his various riddles and discovered a series of scientific facts.

When he learned about this, he really admired Ita. If anyone dared to ask him such a riddle and make him guess, he would definitely throw a nuclear bomb in their face immediately and tell the riddle-teller to stay away from him.
