Multiversal Livestreaming System : I Can Copy My Viewers Skills-Chapter 59: Codranels

[Undead Stronghold 7 has been conquered.]

From his position atop the stronghold's ruined walls, Adam watched as the last of the stream hunters from the undead faction disappeared into the distance.

Their retreat was frantic, their movements driven by sheer terror.

Even from here, he could sense their lingering fear...

Only after they were fully out of sight did he finally let out a slow breath, tension easing from his shoulders.

He raised a hand... and the monstrous figure looming over the battlefield faded.

The illusion from [Surreal Creation] vanished like smoke caught in the wind, its writhing limbs vanishing, its eldritch presence dissolving into nothingness.

What had once been a towering, nightmarish entity was now gone, leaving only the ruins of the stronghold behind.

Adam exhaled. It had worked.

With how tired he was of the nonstop fight with the necromancer and the death knight, he definitely could not fight a bunch of stream hunters given his current condition...

Hence, he wanted to just scare them off to avoid direct confrontation.

At first, he didn't expect them to get scared so easily.

But he quickly realized why.

[Surreal Creation] was an A-tier ability after all, so everything they saw wasn't an "illusion" to them, and instead felt like something that was tangible and incredibly real.

And honestly, he couldn't blame them for running.

That illusion wasn't just any monster after all, it was a reference of something far worse...

A being sent by Tower of Yxthar during humanity's retaliation.

A monster that, in his past life, had descended upon Earth and wiped out an entire generation of top stream hunters in an instant.

Among them had been his sister.

Miya...

His fingers curled into a fist.

Even now, the memory was sharp... Miya's last words , the desperate cries of the hunters, the sheer helplessness as they were devoured one by one.

He had relived that moment more times than he could count, but even now, the pain hadn't dulled.

'I should regroup with the other members now...'

He thought, taking a glance towards the seemingly endless sky, secretly having one last thought before moving away.

'I wonder how Miya and Raiden are doing as of now...'

...

In an endlessly dark path that brought upon silence that seemed to last for an eternity...

Miya Codranel took a deep breath as she stepped into the dimly lit cavern, her boots crunching softly against the damp stone.

The tenth floor...

She had finally made it!

Her eyes scanned the ruins ahead until they landed on a familiar figure standing near a collapsed pillar.

Raiden...

Her heart clenched for a moment.

It had been years since she last saw him in person... years spent trapped in the tower, fighting, surviving, never knowing if the next time they'd see each other would be as corpses.

Yet here he was, arms crossed, his usual unreadable expression in place.

The same Raiden.

The same older brother who had always acted like nothing could shake him.

"You've finally made it."

He said, his tone flat, but there was something in his voice...

A weight that told her he wasn't as indifferent as he seemed.

Miya swallowed.

A part of her wanted to make a sarcastic remark, to joke like she always did, but instead, she took another step closer.

"Yeah… I did."

For a moment, neither of them spoke.

They just stood there, taking in the sight of each other, as if confirming that they were both really here.

Alive.

Then Miya smirked, forcing some normalcy back into the conversation.

"Mm, thanks to the countless messages you sent me. I have to say, eavesdropping on your stream codename during registration was the best accident I ever had. If I hadn't, I wouldn't have been able to add you and leech off your tips."

Raiden exhaled, shaking his head slightly.

"Figures."

He didn't comment further, but there was the faintest trace of amusement in his eyes.

Instead of responding, he reached into his coat, pulled out a small notebook, and tossed it over.

Miya caught it easily, flipping it open with curiosity.

"What's this?"

"Information I wrote down about the tenth floor."

Raiden said matter-of-factly.

Miya raised an eyebrow.

"You still have this habit of taking down notes? Are you that old and forgetful now?"

Raiden frowned slightly, giving her a dry look.

"Not the time to be joking. Read through it carefully."

Miya huffed but didn't push it.

She skimmed the first few pages before closing it with a quiet sigh.

"Still looking out for me, huh?"

Raiden didn't respond immediately, but his silence spoke volumes.

"Anything specific I should be worried about?"

She asked, breaking the moment.

"The tenth floor is strange..."

Raiden said, his tone back to its usual steady calm.

"And dangerous. Make sure to stock up on lanterns and flashlights. The longer you stay in darkness, the lower your sanity gets."

Miya hummed in thought.

"Alright. Also, I saw the system objective. No one's found the hidden exit yet?"

Raiden shook his head.

"We've found clues, but it's difficult to pinpoint its exact location."

She frowned.

"Why? Is the boss guarding it?"

"No..." Raiden said.

"The boss monster, Nyxara, The Devourer of Light, can be handled. Given the number of Stream Hunters on this floor, it's not an impossible fight. It's not even a one-on-one type of boss battle... anyone can group up and take it down."

"Then what's the problem?"

Miya asked.

Raiden's fingers tapped against his notebook before he closed it.

His voice lowered slightly.

"A single Stream Hunter has been making it difficult for everyone."

Miya blinked.

"A single person?"

"Yes." Raiden said.

"Celestia Veyne."

Miya's brows furrowed.

"Never heard of her. Who is she?"

Raiden exhaled, his grip tightening around his notebook.

"I don't know her real identity, but the Stream Hunters here are deeply wary of her."

Miya tilted her head.

"Considering that it's just one person. Is she that hard to deal with?"

"Fighting her is one thing..."

Raiden said.

"Finding her is another."

Miya crossed her arms.

"What do you mean?"

Raiden's expression darkened slightly.

"According to those who have encountered her… no one actually knows where her real body is. She's not just hiding.... she's practically everywhere."

Miya slowly closed the notebook, processing the words.

"Sounds like some kind of cloning ability? That is quite troublesome..."

"It's worse..."

Raiden said.

"She can merge with objects, invade the bodies of the people she touches, and even scatter herself into the air in molecular form."

Miya's stomach twisted.

"That sounds... terrifying."

Raiden nodded.

"We tried to ambush her back on the fifth floor. A B-tier ability user helped us set up a seal to trap her real body. But when we thought we had her, she slipped through every restriction. It seems she's immune to anything that attempts to trap or restrain her."

Miya stared at him, waiting for him to conitnue.

"Not just that."

Raiden said.

"New information from the first floor suggests she can even invade the bodies of people on other floors."

Miya stiffened.

"...Wait. You mean she can possess people across different floors?"

Raiden gave her a sharp look.

"Yes."

"That's—"

Miya paused, rubbing her temple.

"No, that shouldn't be possible. Abilities shouldn't scale across different floors."

"I agree."

Raiden said.

"She's been stopping everyone from advancing past the tenth floor, and up till this day, no one knows why..."

Miya exhaled, shaking her head.

"Could she be... an A-tier ability user?"

Raiden's gaze didn't waver.

"I don't know. It wouldn't be surprising if she was more than that. My viewers have told me that in their universes, there are ability users ranked even higher than A-tier."

Miya's fingers twitched slightly at the idea.

"...Higher than A-tier?"

Raiden nodded.

"S-tier ability users exist."

Before Miya could respond, a notification flashed across her vision, signaling a wave of messages from her viewers.

One particular message stood out.

[Original Style Sword Master says that what an S-tier ability user has should not be called an ability, but rather an "authority."]
