Misty World: Start with SSS skill



Although Tsuraguki's punishments were harsh, it worked in the end.

Tsuraguki knew that these Harpies were  only decent  because they were afraid of her punishing them.

However, she didn't care about this. Them fearing her punishment was fine, as long as they followed her rules, after a while, it would become a habit.

At that time, without Tsuraguki watching them, they would still live and obey the rules of the army automatically like machines.

…

Elsewhere, Number 3… no, to be more precise Rafos, was going to meet his father, Ratylous.

Rafos went to a mysterious room. Standing in front of the room door, he frowned, he was secretly afraid in his heart.

Although he was Ratylous's son, and also the person Ratylous trusts the most.

Rafos knew Ratylous' personality well, and he was a coward and cold-blooded.

He would readily kill anyone including his son or wife to achieve his goal.

So why was Rafos afraid?

Because Rafos knew a lot of Ratylous's secrets. From the dirtiest, darkest stories to the most horrifying...

Rafos performed many of the inhuman tasks Ratylous requested. He was afraid that Ratyous would kill him so that Ratylous's secrets would disappear forever.

Even though Ratyous once said he trusted him and that he wanted Rafos to inherit the throne after Raven died.

However, Rafos did not believe a word of the man who had once abandoned his mother to death.

The secret room in front of him was a place he had never set foot in, it could be said that only Ratylous was allowed to enter.

If he stepped inside, it would probably be just him and Ratylous. No matter what Ratyous did inside, no one on the outside would know.

And of course, no matter what, Rafos couldn't run away.

Besides… he was not as strong as Ratyous either. That's right, don't think that because Ratyous was cowardly that meant he was weak.

No, Ratyous was very strong, even stronger than the king of Zumberos and Silutop. It was just that he didn't want people to know his true strength.

Ratyous was pretending that he was very weak, and all the people around him were also deceived. He even showed that he was not capable of managing the ghost kingdom left by his father.

However, lurking deep within that shell was a monster waiting for an opportunity, but Rafos had no idea what Ratylous was waiting for.

Suddenly the door in front of Rafos opened, interrupting his train of thought. Rafos took a deep breath and entered, and he felt a little nervousness in his heart.

But Rafos knew that being worried wouldn't solve any problems because he couldn't run away.

Behind the door was a stone staircase leading down below. On the two sides of the wall hung Misty Lamps for illumination.

However, those Misty Lamps were quite far apart, so the tunnel leading down was still quite dark.

Rafos frowned, he was extremely alert in his heart, he held a weapon in his hand, so that he would be ready to fight at any time.

He could put the dagger in his space pocket, but that wouldn't make him feel safe.

Only when he held a weapon in his hand that he could depend on did he feel safe.

Rafos slowly moved downwards. The stairs had many steps; he estimated that he had walked about 1,000 steps when he came to a small door.

"Crick!"

The door opened automatically with a slightly shrill sound. Rafos looked inside but he couldn't see anything, it was like there was a black curtain blocking his face.

Rafos frowned, he hesitated, and he didn't know if he should go inside or not.

"Have you come already? Come on in!"

When Rafos suddenly heard Ratylous's voice, he put the two daggers in his hand into his space Pocket. Then he took a deep breath and entered the room.

Inside the room was completely different from the small and stuffy tunnel outside. This place was very large, but inside the room there was no furniture.

The special thing was that on the four surrounding walls were extremely bizarre drawings.

Ratyous stood and looked at the drawings on the wall, his hands were clasped behind his back, and he was seemingly unconcerned with Rafos' presence.

Rafos saw that Ratylous was looking at the strange drawings and that he did not bother with him, So he stood still and waited.

After a while, Ratyous did not turn his head to look at Rafos, his gaze was still fixed on the pictures on the wall. But this time, he spoke up.

"How did your meeting with the Holy Maiden go?"

Rafos frowned when he heard that, he stammered a little: "Father..."

"I understand…" Ratyous interrupted: "You are human after all, and all humans have ambitions. I know you hate me, hate me for leaving your mother to die."

"Father… I'm not…"

"You don't need to explain. I am your father after all, every action of yours, I know very well."

Rafos was scared, he silently thought that something was wrong. However, he did not regret it, on the contrary he hated Ratylous.

It turned out that Ratyous didn't really trust him either, it was all a lie and Ratyous only saw him as a pawn.

Fortunately, Rafos had foreseen this, he did not trust the man in front of him anyway.

Rafos immediately took out the weapon from his space Pocket and held it in his hand. His gaze at Ratyous was filled with hatred, but there was a trace of fear in it.

Ratylous still did not turn his head to look at Rafos, as if Rafos was like a mouse, who was not worth his worry.

"Are you afraid? Afraid I'll kill you?"

Hearing Ratyous's words, Rafos just remained silent and did not answer. His hands were holding the two daggers so tightly that they were white.

Rafos knew Ratylous was strong, and that he couldn't  be compared with him, however, he didn't want to die here either.

Even if the survival rate was only 0.001%, he still wanted to try. He had struggled to survive for hundreds of years, and he didn't want to die when he was about to get revenge.

Suddenly, Ratylous turned his head, and looked calmly at  Rafos.

Right now, Rafos felt that his body couldn't move.

"What the hell?!" Rafos cursed in his heart. He looked at Ratyous in fear as if he were looking at an invincible monster.

"You think those two rusty knives can kill me? Rafos, you are so naive, you still don't know the difference between us."

"You think level 99 is the final destination? No, you're wrong. There are many more levels above level 99."

"What is your level? Ah… Level 92, pretty strong, but I passed level 99 a long time ago, my son."

When Rafos heard that he was in complete despair. He did not think that the difference between him and Ratyous was as great as the abyss and the sky.

He did not have a 0.001% chance of surviving this, no the chance of him surviving this was completely zero.

"Are you going to kill me?" Rafos asked, his eyes now filled with despair.

"Kill you? Why should I kill you?"

Rafos was a little surprised, he said: "Because I always wanted to kill you."

"Kill me? For what? To avenge your mother? Hahahaha… My son, you make me laugh." Ratyous laughed, his face full of scorn.

"Rafos… right? Is that the name you gave yourself? How pitiful, my son." Ratyous said with a smile: "You are still valuable for me to use."

"However, for me, your existence is no threat to me. Do you know what my level is?"

"Even if you try for another 1,000 years, you still won't be able to pass level 99, so you won't even be able to reach my level, my poor son."

Rafos clenched his teeth when he heard that, his eyes filled with anger. The fear in his eyes was gone, and replaced by anger and murderous intent.

"That's right… that's right. Those are the eyes of someone who will do miracles."

Ratylous approached Rafos, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "My son, although you are still very naive, perhaps you will do what I am hoping for."

"I will not kill you, on the contrary, I will continue to use you, and  will help you  sit on the throne of the Shareny kingdom."

"Why?" Rafos frowned, his voice filled with anger: "Why are you helping me? What do you want?"

Ratyous laughed, and pointed at the pictures on the wall.

"Look at those pictures, this is  the picture of the world before the fog had invaded. It's beautiful, isn't it?"

"The world was full of energy, and all the races didn't have to worry about food and resources."

"However, what I care about the most is… a higher level."

"In that world, what do you think the highest rank is? There are many levels Beyond level 99, but the level that the ruler of this world reached in ancient times was…"

"Half-Saint…"

"Then what does that have to do with me?!" Rafos shouted.

"Hahahaha… Rafos, you are still naive and stupid. There is a secret in this painting, a secret that can help us reach that level, and rule the world."

"Until then, do you think I will care about the power to rule this small kingdom?"

"You…" Rafos frowned, he didn't know what to say. So… Ratylous making him the king of this kingdom was also useless. In the end, he still couldn't escape Ratyous's control.

Ratyous ignored Rafos, and said: "Twelve days later, the ancient ruins will be opened. This time, the leader of the expedition will be the son of the current pope, Sarinba."

"Your mission is to follow Sarinba and find the coffin like the one in the picture."

Rafos followed Ratylous's finger and saw a picture of a coffin on the wall.

That coffin was made of a strange material, all kinds of people were around the coffin and bowing to the coffin.

Above the coffin was a drawing of clouds and a person wearing a white robe, behind the person were two angel-like wings.

The figure of that person was huge, his arms were outstretched as if he wanted to embrace the entire race below into his arms.

"Why do you want that coffin?"

"Rafos… knowing too much is not good for you. It will affect your life, my son."
