When they were back in their own world Lily looked at Aaron and threatened, "If you say a word to anyone you know what I'll do to you."
"I'll take it to my grave." he said immediately.
Lily nodded and hoped she could trust him because even if it was a threat, she meant her words. She was sure she could find clues about her own identity if she met the woman named Lily. If they were going to visit King Arthur, she would invite Ace along, but when she was about to call him, she heard a message:
Ezekiel has contacted you.
She was surprised and didn't want to talk to that man, but she didn't want to offend him at the same time because she hadn't forgotten his personality when they first met.
She took the call and asked annoyed, “Greetings my lord. What can your humble servant help you with?”
She heard Ezekiel laugh loudly and reply, “Come to Labunagaan. There’s a twin boss you must kill for us.”
Ugh, Lily felt he was already in command with her, and she wasn't strong enough to kill a boss by herself but couldn't deny him but it didn't hurt to try.
"I don’t want to." she replied and pouted.
"If you don't show up, I'll put a bounty on you right away." he threatened, his voice sounding serious.
Lily sighed and asked, "What's in it for me?"
"You look like someone who is ass poor, so you get all the gold." he replied, laughing out loud.
Lily was fine with gold because then she didn't have to worry about farming it at the moment. She accepted and he sent her the location and name of the boss. She looked at Aaron and said, "Ezekiel has forced me to join a boss."
"Okay." He said putting on the red Oni mask.
As they flew to the portal to Labunagaan Lily asked curiously, “Where do you find durable masks? Yours doesn't seem to break.”
“I got this one from an older man, but I have another one which a monkey boss drops. His name is Kaito and is known as the monkey with the million faces. All Hidden classes have a mask of him.” Aaron replied.
Lily knew that if it had a million faces that meant the mask had a million choices that were perfect for her.
She needed that mask and asked, “Where and when does it spawn?”
"It's a mini boss that everyone wants because if you have 50 masks you can combine them and design your own mask. One will spawn tomorrow, I think. There is no information about it so people can only guess.” he answered.
Lily was reminded of the mini boss that William had mentioned would spawn soon and she had an idea that it was the same boss since it had been about a week now since she found out.
When they arrived in Labunagaan they stood on the platform while Lily checked out the name of the boss that Ezekiel had sent. He had just written Perverse Twins and looked at Aaron and mentioned the name to him.
He explained to her that there were 2 bosses who were twins and you had to deal damage to them both at the same time and if one of them was injured more than the other they would both be furious and attack everyone on the team and you would die immediately. Occasionally the bosses would attack everyone on the team one by one which was a random order that you couldn't dodge with skills but if you had a shield, you could use it even if you still took damage. He did not recommend that you use your best shield as it had a long cooldown because you still took a lot of damage. She knew well about twin bosses, and they were the worst if they were a healing class, so she bet the Perverse Twins weren't. She had a plan but didn't know if it would help her, but she loved testing theories.

"We're just going to rent a room as I'm going to change clothes." she said.
They flew to an inn and rented a room so Lily could change. She put on Aphrodite's Cocktail Dress with 50% charm. She opened her goddess divide and her eyes fell on The Smile of Peitho:
Goddess Skills: 7 points
9. The Smile of Peitho level 2. You can use your charm on any living creature. Success rate 25%.
It said creature so it could probably work on bosses and especially if they were perverted otherwise, she had shields she could use but there was a cooldown on them. She chose to throw 2 points at The Smile of Peitho:
9. The Smile of Peitho level 4. You can use your charm on any living creature. Success rate 40%.
She wondered if that was enough or if she should throw more points on that skill. She chose to bet that it was enough and otherwise she had other skills that could save her. She planned to steal the loot for the monkey boss tomorrow and wanted to throw points at Lady Luck tomorrow. They left for the area where the portal to the boss was located.
When they had been flying for 30 minutes Lily noticed that they were surrounded by blue sea. She was afraid of deep water even though she had gone to elite swimming as a child, but the fact that you couldn't go to the bottom scared her, besides that there were a lot of dangerous fish in the water. She suddenly became nervous and looked down and around and saw that there was an endless sea all over. Why hadn't she asked where exactly the place was and was now afraid that they were going to kill a boss under the sea. She felt her hands become sweaty and was afraid of having a seizure.
"Where exactly is the portal?" she asked nervously.
"In the sea." Aaron replied.
Uhm, that meant they had to dive underwater to get there or what?
"I'm afraid of deep water and fish with sharp teeth." she said honestly.
“You have Fish Slayer so you can breathe underwater so why are you worried?” Aaron said.
Even if she could breathe underwater, that didn't mean the fish would leave her alone. She knew mosquitoes loved her blood and there were probably hungry fish-eating people in this new world.
Shortly after, a large round gold platform appeared floating above the sea. They landed on it and Lily couldn't see anyone else present like when she arrived at Lord Diablo's portal. She looked down at the blue sea which had big waves and she could feel the cold wind blowing past her. She smelled salt water and seaweed and suddenly felt sick.
"We have to dive from here." Aaron said pointing to the ocean.
Lily got nervous and said, "I'm afraid of meeting resistance in the water." because she was afraid it would throw her somewhere else.
"Do not worry. I’m with you and otherwise Jun De is here.” Aaron said.
His words were not reassuring but when she looked at Jun De, she was reminded that he was strong and trusted that he would save her in times of need. She activated sorcerer title and jumped into the water. Since she could breathe, she didn't hold her breath.
When they were under the water everything was blue and clear, and she could see everything and was surprised. She looked at Aaron and saw that he could also breathe underwater. He pointed downwards and began to swim, after which she followed him since she did not know the way.
They swam past corals, colorful fish and sea turtles and Lily suddenly wasn't afraid of the sea anymore. She was afraid that deep sea fish or pirate fish would attack her like she had seen in horror movies, but this experience was completely different. She felt her clothes were wet, but she didn't feel cold and thought Azrael's cloak had helped with that. She now understood how divers were fascinated by life under the sea because it was a beautiful sight.
After 10 minutes, she suddenly saw a huge blue city that was inside a large transparent ball that looked like a barrier. They swam down to the bottom of the city and saw an open entrance guarded by blue men who had spears in their hands and looked like mermen. Their upper part was a human, but the body consisted of a fish, and they had fins on their backs. Their eyes were yellow, and they were blue green on the skin, but funnily enough they all had black hair of different lengths. Aaron nodded to them, and they swam into the entrance which was inside the white barrier. There was air and no water, and they could breathe normally again.
