Chapter 119: 116. A Fight to Lead (Part 2)

Red. There was a lot of red. But there was also a lot of blue, surprisingly. Caves weren’t exactly something that any of the group had much experience with before, but the aesthetics of this region were just so mind boggling that any previous experience with caves wouldn’t do this justice.

Rai had never been to the Underworld before, so he was, understandably, blown away.

As far as the eye could see were ginormous cavernous walls with soft reds and blues reflecting off of them. It was almost unfathomable that a whole region existed down here. The sense of scale was completely discombobulating to Rai.

They’d teleported to the edge of a rather large island in the middle of an underground lake. It seemed like the whole thing was large enough to fit a massive city like Aurum’s capital, if somehow that city managed to teleport itself elsewhere. How’s there even room for this island to exist down here? There’s rocky areas, a not-so-small river, a forest-like area, and just a whole lot of random shit! What the fuck! Naam and Lilly... just what exactly did you guys get up to down here?!

The Underworld capital was just behind them, but none of the group seemed to notice, except one. They were all taken aback by the crazy island before them. Sin was the only one who turned around to look back at her home.

A soft smile crept onto her face. As much as she had conflicting feelings about home, it was still home in the end.

Rai dashed past her towards Kallad, who was just a bit further in on the island.

“Kallad! Where are Na-”

Kallad held Rai’s mouth closed.

“Don’t mention them just yet. I don’t want you or Sin to be publicly associated with them right now. Understand?” He whispered.

Rai nodded slowly as Kallad released his mouth.

Kallad let out a small sigh.

“But... they’re about to introduce themselves. Just keep your eyes forward and you’ll see them.”

Rai was about to speak, but he closed his mouth and just nodded instead. He looked forward at the massive island in front of him.

A snap of a finger echoed from within the island.

Walls of black, leathery mana formed around the edges of the island, cutting off Sin’s view. Sin turned back around and looked towards the island’s entrance. She joined Rai and Kallad.

“Ladies and gentlemen. Allow us to introduce ourselves to you.” A pair of voices announced in unison.

Twin succubi flew in from atop opposing heights within the island. They landed in front of the archaeology society.

Rai and Sin realised that one of them must be Naam, and the other must be Lilly.

They both had identical features. Yellow eyes, pink skin, and long white hair.

Sin quickly realised that they were using their Mimics. The only defining features for either of them were the gems embedded in their necklaces. One of them had a sapphire, and the other had a ruby.

“I’m Sapphire,” The one with a sapphire necklace said.

“and I’m Ruby!” The other one said.

Well, duh. Sin thought to herself.

“And together, we’re going to put you through hell!”

“Figuratively speaking, of course.”

“Yes yes... figuratively speaking.” Sapphire winked at the society.

Shivers ran down most of their spines. A succubus had just winked at them. Who wouldn’t lose it?

“Now... we heard you’re all hoping for a tournament of sorts...”

“But we had a slightly different idea in mind!” Sapphire snapped her fingers.

A board popped up above them. It was made of ice and had a bunch of numbers and all of their names on it.
