Chapter 58: Doubles (2)

"Does it mean that the guardian spirit of The First Hunter Union is just a double?"

"Nah! Not just a double! Those bodies are real! And there are real consequences if they get killed. Some demons can threaten both lives at the same time, for example! Only immortal spirits can survive such demons should they lose against them with their doubles..."

"I see."

"But the guardian spirit? Haha!"

"What's wrong with this term?"

"Mate... what do you know about spirits?"

Hunter pondered over this question.

It wasn't like he really had seen anyone other than Nakisha and Brandi... had he? He learned about spirits a little from Charlotte and his quick studies, but his knowledge was still immensely limited.

For now, he only understood that prominent women of this female dominated world had the honor of having a contract with the spirits. For instance, Violetta Lux, the headmistress of the union, had a spirit herself.

Additionally, influential institutions were protected from demons by spirits and their domains.

That was pretty much what Hunter knew.

"Yeah, cus spirits helped defeat Lucifer and his pals. Across all worlds, spirits extended their kindness and help to fight off the evil," Nakisha said with her wild voice ridiculing the words 'kindness' and 'evil', giving Hunter more questions. "But for me, spirits and demons are the same. I see no difference."

Brandi strained to weigh in a few of her thoughts, "Methods of their operations are different."

"Your vision of them must be like that because you're being an exalted spirit. I won't go into details as to why you are an exalted spirit," Hunter said while ignoring the groaning purple-black-haired woman at his feet, his attention only on Nakisha, "But imputing evil and good to someone based on their race sounds so stupid! Demons can love! Spirits can hate!"

Those last two sentences induced memories of the past in Nakisha and Brandi's hearts, where one of their sisters spoke similar words but in just better phrasing.

[There's no good or evil: only us and our desires... separate us despite being one.]

Hunter chuckled as he misunderstood the silence, "I'm too weak to understand what's going on behind the scenes, but is there anything I should keep an eye on related to spirits?"

Nakisha blurted out, "Celestia."

Brandi followed quickly after, "World Order."

-

"You really hate the boss, don't you?" Hunter narrowed his eyes at the red wolf.

Just the boss's name was enough to remove Nakisha's hunger, her food dropping off her mouth and hands. She inhaled a lot of air before speaking with her teeth clenched...

"She was playing with me! For a long time! I hate this bitch to the core! I can't even tell how she sealed my form and strength, too! On top of her being a scheming bitch, she gives off... unnatural scent and aura! I can't tell if she's a human! I can't tell if she knows our real identity... and what she exactly planned for me! Like, what the fuck was she playing with me for for this long time, only for her to seal me within you? Mate, I can't complain! But it sounds suspicious as fuck, no?"

It was true... and even Hunter had noticed it before.

"I can't tell if she knows about the world within me... but..." Hunter bit his tongue as he was about to expose his immortality... well, Nakisha probably knew about it already or could have guessed a thing or two, but it was better to stay safe than sorry, "But I did well against you when you were in your wild form, thirsting only for blood. If the boss took a gamble to seal you within me, she basically won."

"No. She chewed more than she could swallow," Nakisha smirked before turning her eyes at Brandi, "You're a man with SSS Inheritance and a world within you! A human body with a spirit-like double! Your blood is so tasty I haven't asked for a share yet because I feel not worthy of it yet! There's so much power within you that Celestia's gamble will bite her ass!"

"I, for one, would love to bite her ass! And I will do it! Cause I naturally want her to be mine!"

"That's my mate! You hear that, Brandi? You idiot who couldn't see Mount Tai!"

Hearing those words, Brandi closed her eyes and endured the pain... and shame...

...for her sister, who was a battle and blood maniac, with her intelligence far lower than hers, actually had seen through Hunter's potential and that he could provide her what she desired. On the other hand, Brandi had less time and failed to see the bigger picture.

It wasn't just about Hunter's potential!

If it weren't for him, she either would have returned to the prison in the guardian spirit's forest or been caught by the demons!

As for Nakisha, she'd be sealed by Celestia in one of her loyal teammates, her strength utterly at their wish!

But Hunter was a man who wanted to develop a relationship with them!

A man that Nakisha was about to work with... and even felt thrilled by him.

It was good that mating season was far away and passed a few times already in his absence...

Who knew what would have happened if Nakisha had gone mad with her unquenchable desires.

Which were problems that Brandi didn't really have, for she was a different species, and her time and experience were different.

But for that experience, she had a second chance.

"Tell him about the World Order. You should know more about it," Nakisha switched the topic as she confirmed that Hunter wasn't blindly infatuated with Celestia.

Even though some of his reactions were worrying, a lot of time would pass before he reached enough experience and level to match that woman.

Nakisha also cleverly had given her sister a chance to remedy at least a little of her grave mistake, for life under Hunter was much better than being imprisoned or used by demons.

Brandi noticed that and genuinely looked into Nakisha's eyes, who just scoffed at her.

And then, she began the talk, "There are women in close contact with spirits, working in the shadows to keep the world as it is. Which means that they want it to be dominated by women and have the status quo, with demons feeling like they have a chance to resurrect Lucifer. They call themselves World Order and have their influence in many areas. For them, a man like you, Master, is someone dangerous. Expect them sooner than you think... for they will visit you at night."

"At night..." Hunter nodded, "It means their skills are best when the moon is high, right?"

Brandi struggled to nod, "Yes... their spirits are vampires and werewolves."

"Interesting! Really interesting!" Hunter exclaimed, his eyes shining with a thirst.

Which was different compared to Nakisha's, for ever since his meeting with the madness, Hunter had developed a hunger for knowledge.

And with the new seed of knowledge about undead species, Hunter knew one thing...

...and it was vampires being blessed by the Honor Of Death.

[Take back what's not theirs!]

"So many more opportunities."

Hunter's smile couldn't have been described.

It was wide, however, enough to reach the hearts of the exalted spirits around him.
