"So that's how it is!" — Idan exclaid when Esma told him about the place where the Forest of Doppelgangers appeared and about the beings that awaited them there.
Arabel and the others also frowned upon hearing the news.
"Alright. Now we know where our target is. Our next task is to get to the Forest of Doppelgangers and find out if a Temple has appeared there," Idan said.
"As for those beings that are probably gathered here because of us, there's no need to worry about them. We don't have ti to waste talking to them!"
Everyone except Sierra and Esma, who showed no interest in these beings, nodded in agreent with Idan's words.
They began to pack up to leave the rented rooms. Sierra quietly approached Arabel and wordlessly handed her two brimming vials.
Arabel was a little surprised, but imdiately realized what it was. She quickly took the vials and expressed her gratitude to Sierra. She just waved her hand, making it clear that it was nothing to her.
These vials contained the essence of the blood of the Light Valkyrie.
Yesterday, as promised, Sierra visited Lucinda and got her hands on these two vials.
Lucinda looked a little haggard by the ti of Sierra's visit. She wordlessly handed the vials of her blood essence to Sierra and also silently escorted her out.
After getting what she wanted, Sierra didn't linger and quickly left. Although she was curious about the condition of the hero who had turned into a woman, she restrained herself, considering Lucinda's condition, and did not ask questions.
The group left the room, blending into the crowd under Sierra's masking protection so as not to draw attention to themselves.
Just like last ti, Eulalia decided to receive a task from the Guild to explore the Forbidden Zone. She had already mastered filling out the assignnt forms and quickly filled out the contents. The task was successfully accepted by her group, which included only Nemo, Idan and Arabel.
Eulalia did not include Sierra and Esma in the group at the latter's own request.
This ti, not only were Idan and Arabel amazed by Sierra's masterful concealnt skills, but Nemo and Eulalia were also amazed.
They were both worried about the presence of many beings that were waiting for them, and each of them was already beginning to wonder how to deal with them. However, with only Sierra and her ability to hide, they left the Adventurer Guild branch without any problems and quickly headed out of the city.
They both looked at Idan and Arabel with so admiration, realizing that it was thanks to them that Sierra was helping them. If it hadn't been for them, they both realized that they would have had a lot more problems.
At the sa ti, they turned their attention to another petite woman, wondering what she was capable of. After all, she was attracted thanks to this couple.
The last ti Sierra and the couple Idana and Arabel entered the first city, Sierra intentionally weakened her disguise so that others would notice their presence but would not be able to recognize them. This ti, considering that they needed to get to the Forest of Doppelgangers as soon as possible without attracting the attention of the beings who were looking for them, Sierra used all her powers and abilities as much as the limitations of this world allowed.
This allowed them to leave Limbo's largest city quickly and unnoticed.
Outside the city, Sierra and Esma transford, taking on their Valkyrie forms.
Sierra spread all three pairs of her huge, night-black wings and, using her Soul Forces, lifted Idan and Arabel into the air.
Esma, being only a Valkyrie of the "Diamond" rank, like Arabel, possessed only two pairs of wings. Their color was reminiscent of the sea, as was the color of her hair, and their span was slightly inferior to Sierra's wings.
Esma used the Soul Force to lift Nemo and Eulalia up and pull them towards her. By this ti, Eulalia's doppelganger, realizing what was happening, turned into a small animal and hid under his master's clothes.
The little beast, clinging tightly to Nemo's neck, caused him so discomfort.
Idan and Arabel had long ago summoned their doppelgangers inside their Stars, relieved of their excess burden.
Under the leadership of the two Valkyries, the group left the first city, leaving it far behind, and headed towards the second city of Limbo.

At that ti, Milica was sitting at a table in the spacious hall of the Adventurers Guild of the third city of Usuria. In front of her sat two n, Alois and his disciple Liam, who had safely reached the city the day before.
When they arrived in the city, they did not imdiately go in search of the master of the guys from the group. Instead, they hurried to the Adventurer's Guild to report on the completed task and all the information they had received in the past few days, starting from the mont they arrived in the Forest of Doppelgangers.
Alois saw no reason to hide the details, especially since no one from the group asked him to hide anything. Only after submitting a detailed report, receiving notifications about the completion of the task and the reward, the master and the student went in search of Miliсa.
The master and the disciple found Milica in her mansion.
And so, for the second ti that day, but verbally, they had to talk about what happened to them during a hike in the Forest of Doppelgangers. Milica listened attentively to the master and disciple's story, assessing their words and trying to figure out if they were telling the truth.
Her experience and observations did not find any lies in their words, and in the end, she believed them.
Milica was pleasantly surprised by what happened to her disciples in the Forest of Doppelgangers, especially their encounter with her Doppelganger in the central layer.
She had her suspicions about this Doppelganger. Like her disciple Idan, she ca to the conclusion that this Doppelganger was probably the Guardian of the Temple.
Milica really wanted to see her students and learn about everything that happened to them firsthand, and not from outsiders like Alois and Liam. However, to her great regret, her disciples did not return to the third city, but adopted so kind of their own plan.
On the sa day, the three of them heard rumors about the events in the Forest of Doppelgangers, which shocked everyone, including Milica herself.
The Perfect Doppelgangers were able to leave the central layer and massacred a group of beings that ambushed her disciples. Rumor has it that these doppelgangers were sohow tad by her two younger disciples, a couple from another world.
Milica couldn't help but smile and laugh. She completely believed these rumors, because since their appearance, the couple had been hiding many secrets even from her. And the fact that they were able to ta such formidable beings did not seem sothing incredible to them.
Today, on reset day, Milica, Alois and his disciple ca to the Adventurer Guild branch to learn sothing new about the guys.
By this ti, Milica already knew that her disciples had been in the branch of the Adventurer Guild of the first city since the day before yesterday, and as soon as they appeared there, they had a confrontation with the Staff Hero.
