Shadowslash was affected by this and he couldn't help but take a deep breath and shouted "I have returned!"
Cheers was heard as everyone started chanting "King Shadowslash!" repeatedly.
The feeling was extremely great he couldn't help but bask on the glory of his reputation.
The members of the Adventurer groups on the other hand recovered but they still continue kneeling as they knew that if they stood up right now then they would be condemned by everyone around.
They then starts to look around and was shocked to see different kind of races standing around there were elves, dwarves, humans, monsters and even demons.
This is truly a kingdom that could rule over a thousand race.
As they marvelled the scene around them Shadowslash on the other hand started checking the progress of the group that stayed.
Since they did not know any technique to compress their Mana or elemental energy they could rely on their bloodline to compress their energies so that they would rise in quality.
The first one he checked was Clwyd since he was considered one of the earliest member of the group.

----------------
It ssems that the high quality elemental energy and Mana improved the quality of Clwyd's Mana and elemental energies passively after absorbing them for a large amount of time.
But because of the barrier hindering him from reaching Crimson Gold Rank Clwyd have stayed on the peak of Gold Rank.
Considering how fast Clwyd level up just by absorbing a large amount of elemental energy it means he was in the peak of the Gold Rank for a bit of time.
But now that he had returned this would change he would do his best to help him breakthrough.
After Clwyd he started checking the situation of the others.

----------------
France's situation is the same as Clwyd both of them were in a bottleneck in their level from what he remembers France was in the peak level of Gold Rank before he left.
Other than improving their skills they had no idea what to do next but because of this their combat prowess is in Crimson Gold Rank even though both of them are just on Gold Rank.
Their skills were now the same level as those in the Crimson Gold Rank heck it might be even stronger but since he still haven't seen them in action he couldn't truly gauge how powerful their skills are.

----------------
Shadowslash was shocked J-Darwin actually managed to undergo an Evolution during his absence.
He then looks at the description of the three Passive Abilities since they were a bit strange.
Dragon Form: Transforms into a full dragon enhance strength, vitality, fire attribute skills, fire attribute attacks and add scales for enhanced defence.
Enhanced Skills: Dragon Breath, Dragon Roar
Time Limit: One Hour

Bull Form: Transform into a full bull enhanced strength, vitality, charging speed and power.

So he has three forms and could change himself into either a dragon, a bull or a wolf each had their own advantages and disadvantages.
Shadowslash was quite happy for him when the time when their marine power would now be able to handle the sea he could bring J-Darwin with him.
After checking J-Darwin he checked on Russel and was surprised once again.

----------------
He had developed a compatibility towards metal element this means that his defence have improved in an incredible degree and because of his characteristics as an elephant water element do not affect him that much.
His Mana tier did not increase though but judging from it's overwhelming vitality his own vital qi is of a high quality.
Since it was living inside the Safehaven Paradise all this time he would have eaten many things and with Gulli as his partner in practice his very own combat power have increased not to mention his size.
He looks almost as big as an hill and this is his present size if he use his Active Ability [Size Transformation] then he would become much more bigger.
He could enlarge or shrink himself up to three times his current size which is quite amazing.
His weight and strength do not change so even if he became larger he wouldn't become slower if he become smaller he wouldn't become weaker.
After looking at him for a while Shadowslash came out of his stupor and told everyone to disperse while call everyone from his family.
He then calls Lily and told her to bring the group from Archinviel Adventure Group and the others that was still not familiar with the place around.
Everyone quickly dispersed with his order but their excitement were still there.
Shadowslash then spreads his arms wide and gave Russel and the others a big hug but because he was too small he wasn't able to fully hug them.
The others also started hugging each other they then starts to chat about their time in the Safehaven Paradise or on the adventure on the places.

Last time he saw Sean² he was a bit too small but now he is the same size as a dog even though he was still in his juvenile stage at least he was growing up rather well.
Suddenly sounds of wings flapping was heard as Fredrick appeared besides him was Valkiry which was wrapping her wings around her father's neck.
Fredrick bows to Shadowslash and spoke "Thank you for taking care of my daughter Shadowslash-san"
Shadowslash let's out laugh as he patted Fredrick and answered "No problem at all actually she had helped me a lot during our travel"
