Chapter 190: 190
Eclipse; "If you don't have anything else to say then, let me do the work from here and if I hear another ramblings from your mouth, I'll make sure that you won't be able to use that mouth of yours for the time being. Understood?"
Rheina, who finally shut her mouth because of the threat coming from Eclipse, but was about to retort only to stop for a moment as she looked at the direction where she felt something wasn't right.
"!!!"
'Someone's here!'
Eclipse noticed the woman's strange behavior and he didn't know what she's thinking right now but as soon as he was about to speak, Rheina suddenly charged toward at the opposite direction where Eclipse stood and the world-hopper didn't have the time to react because of the woman's fast reaction and after that, she disappear.
"W-wait.... R-rheina?!"
'The heck is this woman doing and just charging at all without reason?'
Without thinking of anything else, he followed the direction where the Lotus Killer run off and now that he could think and judge things within his surroundings, he felt another presence within the room and he could only conclude this might be the reason why Rheina just suddenly run off without thinking.
'Assassins are still assassins after all. They're much more sensitive to their surroundings unlike others.'
He brushed off those trivial thoughts as he focus on following the path where Rheina run off and as he run towards the hallway, he saw a light coming from the fifth room and wasted no time to go there.
'As the only room that has lights on, of course, it would be no doubt she's there. However, I don't sense her making any move or something. Does it have anything to do with whatever that's within that room?'
However, as he felt closer to that chamber, Eclipse's steps suddenly halt slower as his steps are now heavy while walking through the said chamber.
He trembled while walking through that direction and his thoughts had gone wary.
Eclipse hoarsely stated with hand trembling at his side; "W-w-why in the..... T-t-this.... f-f-feeling....?! W-w-why does it.....?!"
'WHY DOES MY SOUL ENERGY IS REACTING FROM THAT DIRECTION?!'
Before he could settle his thoughts, he heard Rheina's voice calling out for him.
"S-sir Eclipse! A-ahm.... It's much better for you to look at it."
Five steps away from that chamber and after that, the system interface suddenly appeared in front of his eyes and the words laid out within the interface is something that he didn't expected.
'Just what in the world.... Does sir Red know about this?'
Eclipse stepped into the chamber where Rheina had run off and from the inside, he saw Rheina stood from the side in silence while looking at something in front of her.
Or rather..... someone in front of her.....
« "A kin whose blood ties are half from its unknown origin." »
At first, he didn't understand why the inscription was written in a Wu language that he is familiar with because of his world-hopping journey within the cultivation worldline realms and not only that, that vague inscription seems like it's been prepared for him for whatever reason he doesn't have knowledge.
Now that he stepped inside the chamber and looked at what's in front of them and the sudden message appeared within his system interface seems like it makes sense but at the same time, a new question needs an answer for this scenario.
'What the hell was this?! Is this some kind of a joke?!'

At the center, there lies a glass chamber with numerous magic seals on each corner but what caught Eclipse's attention was.... the person inside the chamber.
Rheina, on the other hand, can catch up the details and she wasn't stupid to ask an obvious answer because it's already laid in front of them but what she worries was.... Eclipse's reaction.
Eclipse, with a heavy heart, walked towards at the direction where the glass chamber is located and said the words with a conflicted anger plastered on his face....
"Mother, why are you here?"
The person inside the glass chamber was none other than the presumed deceased biological mother of Eclipse.... Aryna Asterrix....
From the word itself, Link Tasks are tasks that are connected to either the main quest task or the sub-quest task that every world-hoppers must know.
Link tasks are rarely to come by and most of the time, they were connected to either the main quests or the sub-quests. As for how to trigger, that would depend on the situation.
However, for the hidden task to have a link task, that's a different story.
'Just what is going on here?! W-why is my mother's….. This doesn't make any sense! Even though it's been millennium years since then, I might have forgotten most of the events but surely, I won't forget how I attend my own mother's funeral! Especially since I'm the one who manage it!'
Rheina, on the other hand, keep quiet on the sideline while looking at the glass chamber in front of her the first time she arrives in this room.
From earlier, she noticed another presence when both of them are looking for the [Dawn of Tears] and she thought someone was with them without knowing and she blamed herself for not being cautious within her surroundings.
She didn't tell Eclipse right away and took matters on her own hands as she didn't want to burden the young man furthermore.
After all, Eclipse is helping her to get the elixir that she really needs it for her younger brother.
Not only that, but the young man also offered an alliance with her to take down that d*mn bastard of a traitor Thesus for deceiving them with his pitiful situation back then.
Even though they only had an alliance, but Rheina had this nagging feeling that she felt responsible for this young man and for some unknown reason, she feels like…. She owes the young a debt that she didn't quite remember.
