Chapter 115: Chapter 114- She is here(2)
Bella Anderson is the only family member Richard was left with in his previous life. The girl who has always been attached to him and shared a close bond. And the person who gave Richard a motive in his life.
To protect Bella.
And now, upon witnessing the same girl in this world causing chaos in the capital and helping the dark cultists, she just blindsided him.
There was no doubt in it that the one causing the ruckus was the same person as what he saw in the picture. But how can this be? His Bella was never like this. She only killed someone or something when it came to him or herself.
Then why is she behaving like this?
Turning his attention towards Ethan, he asked, “Are you sure you saw the right person? There can be any ambiguity right?”
Ethan shook his head, “I am a hundred per cent sure that this woman is the cause of security failure. She was standing before the clone a few moments ago when I received the memory, and Rose has sketched the exact image of that calamity.”
Richard closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose.
The others couldn’t discern the reason behind his reaction, nor could Richard ever tell them that the main perpetrator behind this invasion was none other than his precious little sister, who looked more like a woman in her early twenties now.

[Y/N]
…..
She has developed; not only her age but her skills and stats as well. Time flows differently in both worlds which explains why she was able to defeat such strong warriors on her own.
‘But cross dimension travel? How did that happen?’ Richard couldn’t remember any point in the plot where someone was summoned from another world.
Although the Prime Minister was full of mysteries, there wasn’t any mention of cross-world travel. Or was it lost since the main motive of the dark cultists was achieved without it? And because in this timeline, Richard killed the Prime Minister, the dark cultists were forced to bring someone from the other world?
But is it a coincidence that the person they brought is closely related to another soul who travelled to this world?
‘Fuck, this is so complicated…’
“Richard?” Amelia called out worriedly.
Shaking his head he told her, “It’s nothing-”
“Oh hell yeah!” Suddenly Ethan cheered, garnering everyone’s attention; urging Richard to ask,
“What happened?”
Excitedly, Ethan replied, “The Headmaster has just shown up against the calamity. The final showdown is about to begin!”
Richard’s eyes widened as he drew a sharp breath hearing that.
The Headmaster…how can he forget that the man was visiting the Capital today to discuss the matter about the Clones?
‘Shit….no, no, no…!’ Richard clenched his fist as his eyes wandered around; thinking of a way to stop the battle between the two.
Although Bella is strong, against the Psychic Psion, she won’t be able to persist for long. The Headmaster has the experience and abilities to dominate the battlefield and Bella would get crushed in no time.
If there was even a per cent chance for the woman to be his little sister, then Richard has to save her before it is too late.
“I need to go there.” Hearing his words, Rose covered her mouth in astonishment while Elizabeth narrowed her eyes.
Ethan was shocked as he asked, “Why would you leave the island when the Headmaster has warned you to not go anywhere? Please don’t make any hasty decisions.” Leaving the island or the attempt of doing so could reward severe punishment to the students.
“Yes, Richard. I know you want to take revenge from the clone-” Nora’s voice was interjected,
“This is not about revenge. I am worried about my mother who is amidst that war, somewhere—possibly injured and helpless. I cannot contact her nor is there any way to discern her condition.”
His eyes were drawn to the ground and fists clenched as he pushed those words out. There was no doubt that Richard was concerned about his mother, but along with Bellarine, he wanted to go there for Bella as well.
Silence befell the group as they didn’t say anything against that. It was clear as day that stopping Richard now was a foolish act.
Amelia suddenly held his hand, and encouraged him, “I will help you escape the island.”
Everyone around were astounded that the raven-haired was suggesting something so foolish. Escaping the island? That’s not something a couple of teenagers could achieve.
However, unlike them Ethan has different thoughts as he added added, “I can help you bypass the security using my levitation.”
Seeing Ethan getting involved in this, Elizabeth panicked and hurriedly said, “W-Wait Ethan? You don’t have to get involved in all this. If you get caught-”
“I might get kicked out? I am aware of Eli, but trust me, if I don’t help my benefactor here, then I’d be ashamed to look myself in the eye.” With a warm smile, Ethan stated.
Elizabeth was stunned hearing those words and that look in his eyes clearly told her how serious he was about helping Richard.
“Come on, let’s go.” Amelia urged and Richard also turned around—only to be stopped by the Princess,
“Wait a second,” Exhaling a heavy sigh she added, “I can send you there, to the palace. However, you have to promise me something.”
Richard was aware of what she was talking about so he didn’t question her words and nodded.
Elizabeth drew closer and after going on her toes she whispered,
‘If my father is about to die, don’t save him.’
Richard shrugged hearing that. If he could get there instantly then he won’t trouble himself with protecting others when he already has two people to look out for.
There is a teleportation magic rune given to each member of the Royal family which they can use to return to their home if any emergency situation arises. This was a technique which only the people belonging to the royal family can use and also, bring one confidant along for protection.
The rune can send them to two places; one is the palace situated in the capital, and the other one is a hideout about which not many people know.
Amelia stood in front of Richard and hugged him briefly as her soft whisper reached his ears, “Please be safe.” There were thousands of thoughts swirling inside her head but she didn’t want to burden Richard with them.
Richard nodded wordlessly before planting a soft kiss on her forehead
Once the farewell was exchanged, Richard stood in front of Elizabeth.
The blond Princess rested her hand on Richard’s shoulder and her other hand on her belly.
Closing her eyes she chanted,
“Fram yfir tíma, rými, og stað,
Flyt mig nú til landsins ráð.”
The runes illuminated and soon the whole library was notified of the spell activation.
“Hey! What are you guys doing!” The librarian instantly climbed to the floor seeing the activation, however, before she could reach the group—
*BLINK*
—Richard disappeared.

[Capital of Eldoria]
Surrounded by the dome of darkness was the capital of Eldoria, which recently had been plagued by the fangs of evil, and the people were reminded that even the most important city of the continent could get severely damaged.
And today, once again, the capital was under attack by the same creature who terrorized the people last time. The silver-haired demon was bestowing death and wreaking havoc amongst the people with not a single remorse on its face.
The soldiers who were responsible for protecting them were all burnt to death, and those who persisted became the hunt for the clone.
“Ehe~what a sight this is…” Sitting on top of the palace with its legs dangling, the clone rejoiced at the landscape it had formed.
Thanks to the support of the morons who call themselves dark cultists or whatever, the clone was able to penetrate the capital and increase its strength by slaughtering the insects.
Agh, the way they grovel in the face of terror and beg for mercy….is just…
‘Addictive~’
Feeling the shiver running down its spine, the clone grinned—another step toward becoming Perfect.
**BOOOOOM**
“Ohhh~” The clone had to hold the flag pole beside it to not let itself fall by that explosion.
Looking down, the twin copy of Ethan looked at the battlefield where another strong contender had just shown up and was currently standing across the calamity, which has made this operation successful to this extent.
Looking at the woman with dark raven hair with a blend of crimson, the clone grinned.
‘Oh, how delicious…I wonder what her ether tastes like~’

A/N:- Damn…this clone….
