Neurolink System in the Modern World

"Woah, what was that?" I thought to myself, stunned by the sudden attack that had managed to pierce through my Shadow Realm.

That beam of light possessed enough power to breach the barrier of this place, a feat I had believed only individuals at Zely level could achieve.

The Shadow Realm and the physical world existed on different wavelength . Penetrating it required either an attack with a matching frequency or one that disrupted space itself, like the attack from the Time Wraiths.

"Show yourselves?" echoed a commanding female voice.

I turned my head upward and saw a figure hovering in the air.

There stood a woman clad in a white kimono, adorned with elegant blue flower designs. Her long jet-black hair framed her face, her beautiful monolid eyes glinting. Despite the darkness of the night, her flawless skin seemed to glow.

Perched above her head was a tiara, intricately adorned with a feather pattern, adding to her regal presence.

"Beautiful," I murmured softly, unable to stop myself from being captivated by her stunning appearance. Her beauty was simply breathtaking, even to someone like me.

It was clear that she was someone that far surpassed the limit of human beauty. While I had met many attractive women before, her pure appearance outshone everyone so far.

Just seeing her bright red lips was enough for me to fantasize about kissing her.

'Is this what they call love at first sight?' I pondered silently. Someone who could really stir my heart based solely on appearance actually existed.

"If you don't get out, then I will just kill you," she warned sternly, raising her right pointing finger as a concentrated white light began to emanate from it.

Seeing the light, I could tell that it was different and much weaker from the Time Wraiths'. It wasn't even worth mentioning in the same level.

But right now, I was more fascinated by how beautiful she had become after the light formed. This must be the lighting effect enhancing her face even more.

'Damn, she's threatening me, but she's still beautiful,' I chuckled at my own thoughts.

I assumed that I was already numb to beautiful women, and I simply fucked girls out of boredom and lust. But seeing her, I felt like I was actually admiring her.

"1," she started counting, the light intensifying further.

This made the people from the Zol Clan noticed her presence, but instead of confronting her, they hurriedly flew out of the place.

Normally, I would just leave this place too. If I were determined to escape, there was no one in this world who could catch me.

But my heart was urging me, 'Talk to her.'

"How about we talk things out," I proposed as I emerged from the shadows, my appearance now transformed into my villain form.

With white hair and red eyes, there was no way they could recognize my true identity.

"Are you part of the Nightshade Family?" The stunning woman's gaze swept over me from head to toe. Her jet-black eyes and long eyelashes moved as she tried to discern my identity.

'Oh, I think there's been a misunderstanding. Well, might as well go along with it,'

"You guess it," I nodded in response, while simultaneously assessing her status.

The two girls from earlier had a way of masking their information, so I was also anticipating that she might be the same.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

As expected, I could only confirm her Name. This strengthens my suspicion that they possess some sort of gadget or equipment to conceal their status.

It was no longer simply a matter of their power surpassing mine. From the first glance, I could tell that I could defeat her without any trouble .

"What did you do?" she asked, her eyebrows furrowing. "Why do I feel like you just violated me?"

I paused for a moment after hearing her accusation.

In a way, I was indeed violating her in my mind. When I was fantasizing about kissing her, it spiraled out of proportion almost instantly. I have to admit, I do have quite the wild imagination.

However, I needed to maintain a cool and collected demeanor in front of her.

"If I violated you, trust me, you wouldn't have even noticed," I replied with a light joke

SWOOOOSH!

The light from her fingertips burst out directly towards me, but this time I didn't bother dodging; instead, I just swatted it away with a nonchalant flick of my hand.

My reason for doing so?

Yeah, I just wanted to appear cool in front of her.

"Don't be like that. Let's talk first before resorting to violence," I said, trying to calm her down.

Her expression changed after witnessing how effortlessly I stopped her power. But instead of being amazed, I couldn't shake the feeling that she was insulted instead.

"You're not from the Nightshade Family," her tone turned cold as she uncovered the truth.

"Nightshade family members are weak against light-based attacks," she added.

"I identify myself as part of the Nightshade Family, though," I chuckled, a sly grin playing at the corners of my lips, as I continued to teased her.

"I identify you as a dead man!" she declared, raising her fingers again. This time, an even larger beam of light converged on it.

"You're not the only one who could play with light," I countered, mimicking her movements as light also converged on my fingers. Though they may be the same color, their essence was very different.

Mine was pure light, a copied ability from Min Hee, so in terms of intensity, it was far stronger and more concentrated than hers.

And she was well aware of it, judging from her worried expression.

"How about we stop fighting? I just came here to watch what was happening," I explained, attempting to diffuse the tension. Your journey continues at empire

"You're not part of the Zol Clan?" she asked, skepticism evident in her face as she scrutinized me.

"I think I should be the one asking that. Because of you, they were able to escape without much resistance," I countered.
