Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You? - Chapter 619 A Dazed Ghant

Chapter 619  A Dazed Ghant

“So you mean to say there’s a great way coming out?” (0o0)

…

Seated at a more private sector within the private jet, Ghant jolted up and maniacally looked at everyone in disbelief. Please, can someone tell him if this was a joke or not? How come there has been a long time war against humans and he, a fully grown President, was only hearing about this now? Ghant’s body trembled vigorously. “You all… be honest… have you known about this all these years?” What happened to brotherhood? Could it be that the military has always known of the existence of these monsters when he –their President who was supposed to be their commander and leader– was not privileged enough to get such info all this time? Several Vardos people slowly shoon their heads wryly. “Mr. President, it’s not what you think. Although it’s barely been under a year that we knew of the true dangers of this world.” Well, they wished they could tell him, but you’ve got to know that he was living in close proximity with a creature that had marked him, and always had watchful eyes over everything Ghant did. Of course, it wasn’t long too that they discovered that Doyle was a creature from the underworld. The true reason they didn’t tell Ghant at the start, was because they wanted to keep things hushed, while growing their strength in secret. At that moment, they felt that the less those in politics knew, the better. For now, life must go on as normal. Sometimes, in order to protect someone, it’s best to leave them clueless until they’re heavy to tell. For hours, the Ghant listened in eerie silence. Since 2 and a half hours ago, he said nothing, only nodding, shaking his head, or leaning tiredly into his seat. Sometimes, his eyes would widen, and other times, he looked like someone was physically punching his face. Amazing! They’ve never known their President was such an animated person. .

Well, everything he heard sounded like fantasy to Ghant, but he had no choice but to believe it.

“Wait! Wait! You say my shadow will automatically fade away from the mortal worlds and reappear back in the shadow realm. But–” Ghant paused, making the atmosphere grow tender than it already was. “Once my shadow vanishes and returns, what’s stopping this shadow master to head into the shadow world and get information on what happened during my escape?” Yes. If the enemy knows of the existence of exorcists, wouldn’t that spell trouble already?

“Not quite, Mr. president.” Dalahali shook his head sideways. “The rules of the mirror world are strange and bizzare. All shadows, whether they like it or not, are bound to a Law that prevents them from leaking out any information about what their humans did in the past, or will do in the future.” .

Just like the Mortal and Underworld, the Mirror world had its own unique rules too.

Even The Grandmaster’s shadow can’t tell a single soul, shadow or creature of what the Grandmaster thinks, will do or has done in the past. Even if these shadows wished to demonstrate with their hands or write it down, the laws of that world will never allow it. A shadow is bound by secrecy to keep what their humans do private. It was odd to say that while the Underworld had the Abyss, the Mirror world had what they called ‘Law’. It was equally strong just like the Abyss, and couldn’t be defeated by even the most powerful princes put together. Heck! Even if all creatures teamed up, Law would flick its fingers and they would all die the moment they step into the Mirror world. So how do you beat Law’s command of secrecy on all shadows? How do you pray out that information from it? Some say Abyss and Law are lovers, separated by duty. However, it’s said that there’s a secret channel between the mirror world and the Abyss that no shadow or creature could ever go to. Whether those myths are true or not, no one has ever been able to prove anything true for centuries, generations, billions, trillions and gazillions of years. “So you see, Mr. President… even if the enemy goes to the shadow world, he won’t be able to get any information out of anyone.” What’s more, even if the enemy wanted to guess what happened by looking at the shadows closest to the portal, looking to find the culprit, it wouldn’t be that easy. For one, their shadows will be nowhere near the portal, but would be someone far, far, away, in a place that looks identical to where they currently were. Do you know where they are now? In the sky miles and miles away. Back in the shadow world, their shadows were also fitfully pulled by Law and made to fly through the scorching skies in rusted, hot and falling-apart aircrafts too. Hey… Whatever they do in the human world, their shadows must also do in the shadow world.

It was quite unbelievable when one thinks about it. .

Again, while exorcists could stay for longer periods in the Mirror world –perhaps due to the fact that the shadows were part of them– creatures on the other hand, can’t stay in the mirror world for long, or else Law would notice them and not only kick them out but eradicate them completely. After Law takes care of them, their souls don’t get exorcized, but return to the Abyss to be birthed from scratch with all memories wiped. They won’t even know who they set end in the past or how long they lived before their demise. After Ghant’s shadow returns, it will immediately realize that Ghant had returned into the human world, but won’t know anything of what happened in the mirror world or these past 3 days before it returned. How to say it? After returning to the mirror world, he will be warped so far away that it will take the Portal master a f**king long time, probably months, before he finds Ghant’s shadow again. The easiest way to find a shadow is through the human in the mortal world. Grab the human and do the switch. But in this case where Ghant was nowhere to be found, do you know how f**king long will it take long to find his shadow again? Remember that underworld creatures can’t stay in the mirror world for long, so the creature has limited time, even more limited than Exorcists, to head in and do a search before Law kicks him out. After leaving the portal, it has to wait for some time before going in again and continuing its search. In the end, do you know how long it will now take to finally find his Goddamn shadow who, by the way, was flying over continental waters on its way to the East? Too long… It will never happen… at least not anytime soon.

… Ghant digested the information poured on him, from the existence of the mirror world to the underworld, the heavens… you name it. “So Camilla is one of them?” “Not quite,” Wiggins denied. “She’s an old soul risen from the graves. She’s hundreds of years old… but Mr. President, don’t you think her name sounds very familiar?” Ghant frowned. “Camilla Jones… Camilla Jones…”

Hold on! In Vardos’ history, there was once a sky, quick-witted and seductive female Pirate with the same name as her. She bested her peers and was known to have broken the chain of there being strong Male pirates in those times. Well, you could say she pioneered feminism in their days. Who said that only men could be fierce pirates? Her actions and stories have been filmed, documented and even made into live action movies too.

So what if history wrote her down as a true evil woman with a love for chaos and mischief? Isn’t it always men who end up in those positions, from Kings, leaders, prorated and whatnot? The female population didn’t care! She was a role Model, similar to Gleopatra of Cygypt… except she didn’t rely on her feminine wiles, but used her brute force, sword techniques, and brains to win her crewmates over. Yes, she had beauty, but she hardly used it for any of her conquests. Rather, she treated her sleeping partners as dogs… dogs not worthy enough to lick her feet. And when she was done with them, they eventually ended up walking the plank or being destroyed in one way or another. …

Camilla Jones… She was a legend who ‘sadly’ fell from the hands of her brother who set her up before sinking her and her crew down the high seas. It should be said that after her legends spread throughout all corners of the world, several current now had the name Camilla Jones. So no one in their right mind would equate Camilla Jones brought in by Vice-president Doyle, to be the same Camilla Jones legends spoke of. *Silence*

“You mean she is that–”

“Yes, Mr. President. The one and only… and she is now here in the flesh, as the 2nd Horseman!” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

B**CH!

Ghant clenched his fists hard. “So Vardos became what it is because of her?”

Yes! From the first day that woman arrived, reports of all kinds emerged one after the other.

… Now it was all starting to make sense. Ghant clenched his fist hatefully. In that case, there was only one thing left for them to do. KILL!
