Chapter 149: Wired noise
"System, summon the clone now."
(As you wish, host.)
(Creating clone.)
Soon, a guard emerged from the white rays emanating from beneath. Luna's expression shifted to bewilderment as she witnessed another identical guard standing alive before her eyes.
I observed her reaction, which was as expected. It was only natural for someone to be surprised when encountering my hidden power for the first time.
I turned to my clone and commanded, "Lead us to your Goddess Aura fountain!"
The guard nodded and began to walk. "Luna, I don't have much time to explain what that thing walking in front of us is, but if I had the chance, maybe I would," I told Luna with a strained expression. She stared at my face before giving me a nod of perplexity.
Luna and I proceeded to the Ice Palace. Inside, the palace's interior replicated the castle I had seen in the sender's vision.
As I continued moving, I encountered many other guards. Upon seeing me, each of them immediately became hostile, readying their swords.
"You there! How did you get inside the Ice Goddess residence?" The guard spoke with rage, his loud voice alerting others to check the situation.
Soon, numerous guards were summoned, armed and ready to kill me. "This doesn't look good. If I keep killing these guards, they will keep coming like bees. There won't be an end, and my mana capacity is almost about to drain. I need to reach the fountain now!"
"Hey, what are you doing, and who are you leading?" One of the guards pointed at my clone. To infuriate him, the clone remained silent.
"Hey, are you deaf? Answer me now, or you will receive punishment!" The guard continued cursing the clone, while others stood in animosity.
"System, create clones of these guards now," I said, pausing in one place until the system completed scanning.
(Scanning completed.)
"Create them immediately now!"
Instantly, many other guards appeared from the white rays like ghosts, each of them wearing the same look as the guards who were in shock watching their reflections standing before their eyes.
"What are these people? They look like us."
"That is me! Is that my face? Do I look that ugly? No, this must be an illusion."
"That intruder is using magic! Don't get trapped!"
Each of them held their weapons and examined their clones from a distance, while Luna stood excitedly behind me.
"Clones, kill everyone who dares to block my path. Show them no mercy," I ordered as the clones instantly moved to engage the guards.
The guards clenched their sword handles and charged toward the clones, initiating a blood-soaked battle. They killed each other without holding back.
Ignoring their clash, I ordered the previous clone to lead the way. "Hey, keep moving, don't stop!"
The clone began to walk, guiding me toward the underground chamber. I encountered many other guards, dispatching them with ease and minimal effort. The clone stopped in front of a wooden door covered with a chain and a large lock, giving it an almost cartoonish appearance at first sight.
"What a fool. Who would lock a door with such dedication this way?" I sighed inwardly and burned the door like a piece of cake. "Come with Luna; we're almost about to reach our home."
"Yeah, I wanna go back. I don't like this frosty land." Luna smiled as she walked with joy.
But as soon as we passed inside, our joy quickly vanished like water. "What the hell is this now?"
Luna and I saw another giant gate blocking our path forward. There was something strange about the gate that gave us an eerie feeling. It was almost 10 meters tall and had a snowflake flower-like pattern and a Sendra rough picture in the middle of snowflakes.
"Onii-chan, this door is so stunning and well-detailed. The creator might have spent his entire life building this structure," Luna said as she walked to examine the door.
As she got closer to the gate, she noticed something. "Onii-chan, this door is sealed."
"Huh? Sealed? That won't be a problem. I will melt the door now. Stand behind me, Luna!" Hearing my words, Luna walked behind and observed what I was going to do.
I extended both of my arms forward at the door and said, "Dragon breathe!"
A fire orb began to emerge in my hands. I kept increasing the size of the fire orb until it almost reached half of my height. The room became warmer and bathed in a saffron color.
Luna, watching my back, felt warmth and astonishment at the power I possessed. "Onii-chan looks hot and cool at the same time. I can't wait to go and sleep with Onii-chan and feel his warm love for me."
"Ahhhh!"
I unleashed the fire orb at the gate. When it touched the gate's surface, a massive explosion occurred, making my clone fly away from the force.
"Hold me, don't lose your grip on me," I told Luna. She immediately clung to my abdomen.
After the mist faded, I glanced at the gate in shock. "What? There is not even a simple scratch on the gate. What sort of material is this gate made of?"
"As I expected, this gate is sealed and can only be opened by keys. Onii-chan, we have to find the keys to unseal the gate," Luna explained to me. I looked at her and asked, "Keys? Where could the keys be?"
Then I immediately looked at my clone walking toward me. "Hey, tell me, where are the keys to this damn gate?"
The clone opened his mouth and spoke nonchalantly. "Each key is possessed by Suquen, Empen, and Gyzen. Only they can open and enter the Ice Goddess fountain of aura."
Listening to the soldier, I couldn't help but curse my fate, feeling stuck again. "Why does everything have to go wrong in the end? Janifer, couldn't you tell me about this damn seal before? I don't even have much mana left, or I would have destroyed this palace!"
Luna saw my frustration and felt heartbroken, witnessing a sad look on my face that felt like a stab in her soul. She approached me and tried to comfort me. "Onii-chan... Don't be sad... We can find another way... Why don't we, huh... We could—" Luna attempted to speak up but failed to erase my worry.

"Huh, what was that noise?" I halted my cursing and looked around. After scanning my surroundings, I noticed there wasn't anything odd. "What was that?"
Seeing the sudden change in me, Luna realized something was off. She looked at me and asked, "Onii-chan, is something bothering you?"
I looked at her and asked, "Luna, did you hear any weird voices?"
She looked at me with a confused expression and answered, "No, I didn't hear anything except your lament."
"System, did you say something a moment ago?"
(No, host, I didn't say anything.)
After confirming that wasn't a system noise I concluded that I might have overheard "I must have misheard something now I need to find a way to deal with these three dogs" I mused and released any signs.

"I that voice again where is it coming from" After hearing the strange noise again I was sure that it was coming somewhere nigher.
"Onii-chan are you hearing something "Luna is concerned, and she also looked around to find the noise.
