Chapter 746 Departure From The Elves

Chapter 746 Departure From The Elves

[Bonding Successful!]

Rey saw this System Window displayed before him as Emil's gooey body slipped back into him and re-established their Bond. Once again, he felt the unreal sensation that he experienced when they first bonded. A rush of power swelled throughout his body, and he felt beyond alive.

'Ahh...' It was nearly orgasmic, but Rey controlled himself from leaking out any of his feelings through his face. Hence, despite having a stoic expression on his face, he felt immeasurable pleasure internally.

Before he could even acclimate, though—

~I've missed your body so much, Master! It looks like your body has missed me too! You've grown stronger too, haven't you? Ahhh... this feels amazing!~

—Emil's voice pounded within his head.

He didn't complain, though. Instead, he simply smiled and sighed.

"No thanks to you. You drained all of my Mana, so how exactly was I supposed to fight back against that explosion you sent to me? I had to spend my preserved Stat Points." He murmured, slowly remembering the feeling of anger he had previously.

Now that he thought of it, Emil actually needed some talking to... or would that go to Ater? He wasn't sure who to blame, but he needed to still educate the former about what was acceptable or not.

... Just for future purposes.

~Why didn't you use [Consume], though? Didn't you Copy it? Me leaving you didn't mean you couldn't use it...~

"...."

~I actually thought that was what you'd do, though it would have taken you time to absorb the energy, which would provide me and that guy a chance to escape.~

For a moment, Rey froze. It seemed, perhaps even more than Emil and Ater, he also needed some talking to.

"I was overwhelmed and confused at the time. That's why I didn't... think to... use it..."

~I understand, Master! Honestly, I'm glad my departure shook you that much. I guess you really do care about me.~

The words of The Oracle still weighed on him. Only he knew what was about to come—the destruction of everyone and everything in this world.

'Compared to the heights I need to achieve to prevent the destruction of everyone I care about... of the people of H'Trae... I need to be even stronger.'

This time, the power he sought wasn't only for himself, but for the people around him. Money, business, and his own individual might didn't matter if there were no more hardly any living beings left in the world. In a way, protecting everyone was beneficial to him.

But... he wasn't doing this only because of that. After interacting with the Elves for long enough, Rey was able to confirm his feelings and fully accept his newfound perspective.

'I can understand you a lot more now, Adonis.'

He wanted to help more people.

'I have started with the Elves, but now I want to go even further.' He reopened the portal that had closed up the moment he saw Emil.

~VWUSH!~

In H'Trae, there were also Dwarves, Giants, and Fairies—none of which he had ever interacted with, or even seen.

'That changes soon.'

"Farewell, everyone!" Rey waved at the Elves, who had now resumed their cheers once they saw he was leaving for real this time.

He stole a small glance at Esme, and found her smiling at him. She nodded slowly and whispered some words to him.

This was the first time she would interact with him for some days, and he felt his heart skip a beat once he saw her lips move.

His mind interpreted what she meant instantly.

"Thank you." He repeated her words, nodding back before moving closer to the portal.

He entered the swirling gate, but not before swiftly whispering a response.

"You're welcome."
