Chapter 867: Clairvoyance

Chapter 867: Clairvoyance

[Future Sight has ended]

Ning came out of the dream-like state, confused and worried about what he had seen. How could the female leader of the humans that couldn't even survive the demons in the south suddenly kill both demons and angels with such ease?

'How did she get those wings? Only players should have wings,' Ning thought. This was getting all too confusing for him at the moment.

"Damn, should I just ask the system for answers? I might be able to—"

Before Ning could finish his words, his vision twisted as he appeared somewhere.

'Huh? Where am I?' he thought. The place he was in looked like a dungeon that lay underneath a castle. At least, the walls looked just like that.

Ning suddenly saw someone pass next to him.

'Gariin?' Ning was confused. 'What is this? Another vision?'

Ning saw Gariin again, but this time she had no wings on her back. She looked normal without any changes and so he called out to her.

It was only then that Ning noticed that he couldn't speak or hear what was being said. He couldn't even see his own body.

'What sort of vision is this?' he wondered. However, before he could think anything in regard to that, Ning saw Gariin enter a room and so he followed her.

When he entered the room again, he was horrified. Along the side of the walls and on the various tables were wings that were obviously cut off from demons, angels, and even humans.

There were various NPCs there that experimented on the wings and Ning couldn't help but wonder why she was doing that. Was this how she got her wings in the future?

Ning remembered the first time he met this woman. She was wearing a pair of dragonfly wings at the time that she mentioned had come from a dead 'blessed one'.

Blessed one was what they called players, and there was no way a player could ever die in this game.

This was to say, the girl had to have used some other methods for acquiring her wings.

Ning saw Gariin look through the various wings that the people in the room showed her, but she shook her head at every single one.

She didn't like those wings at all. Of course, she didn't. Ning knew exactly which one she liked.

'Is this perhaps not the future I'm seeing?' Ning started wondering. It was only then that he remembered he was holding a Clairvoyance card before he was sent into the future sight.

'Ah, the Clairvoyance card must have timed out and activated on its own,' Ning thought. Which was to say that Gariin was in a 10-kilometer radius around Ning.

After rejecting the people and their wings, Gariin left the room and went to some other place in the dungeon.

When she entered, Ning got another shock when he saw the state of the room. There were hundreds of candles lit around the room, all of which glowed with reddish light for some reason.

There were people inside the room who she spoke to and they said something.

Ning didn't know what they said but seeing their heads bob up and down, they seemed to be affirming something.

The girl walked to the center of the room, where there was a massive, complex magic circle that was meant to do something.

Ning wondered what it did, but he couldn't read the magic circle at all. It was likely that the game developers didn't care to put anything important into the magic circle itself.

The girl sat in the center of the room and said something. Ning tried reading her lips, but it didn't work either. So, he could only wait and see what happened.

His vision slowly started to dim as his Clairvoyance was ending soon. Even as it did, Ning saw what happened next.

20 different people, 10 demons, and 10 angels were brought into the room. To Ning's surprise, they were all players.

With his last bit of vision, Ning's eyes focused on a single angel.

[Clairvoyance has ended.]

"… Saphandra?"

Ning found himself back in his tent, with both of his cards missing from his hands. "That was Saphandra, right?" he thought to himself.

It had been months since he had seen her since they were both so into the game. The times they were out were few and they usually missed each other. However, there was no way he would miss what Saphandra looked like.

'It is definitely her,' Ning thought. 'What did she get herself into? Was that a ritual? Are they going to kill her?'

Ning quickly looked for the Clairvoyance card again to check the situation, but the card had gone on a 10 hours cooldown.

He was annoyed at how long of a cooldown the individual Unique and Legendary cards had.

"I was seeing a real-time vision, right? Not a vision of the future," Ning thought to himself. "Which means she is in trouble right now."

Without a single hint of hesitation, Ning left the room and walked out. He quickly left the tent area to go into the human side of the battlefield.

Ning didn't know where exactly Gariin was, but he had a way to find out. He quickly brought out a card that was able to figure out the locations of players you had partied with or are friends with, or NPCs that you had active quests with.

Ning still had the quest with Gariin where he was supposed to kill Demon commanders for her, but he had kept it at bay for a long time.

Finally, the quest was coming in handy, but not in the way he would've assumed it to.

"Activate! Find Gariin," Ning said.

The card suddenly burst into Orange light and disappeared, leaving behind a red arrow that pointed to Ning's left.

'That direction?' Ning thought. He wondered how far it was going to be. There was only one way to find out.

So, Ning started running in the general direction that the arrow was pointing towards.
