Chapter 220 Unexpected

Vincent's body felt light… It was as if he was floating in the middle of an ocean. It was making him very comfortable…

It was very relaxing… All the stress and worries in his life are slowly disappearing…

It has been a long time since he felt this kind of comfort.

He wanted to stay like this forever. He wanted a peaceful life… Maybe sleeping here is not a bad idea, it was—No!

Vincent jolted after reaching this thought…

He may not have noticed but as the silver ocean was about to drown him, a small amount of golden liquid pushed him over…

"Light!"

This was the first thing that came out of his mouth as soon as he opened his eyes…

That's right! He can see the light! The empty and scary darkness is no more! Although it was blurry! He can see the light! It is definitely different from the dim system notifications… It must be real… Is it the moonlight? No…

Suddenly, Vincent felt his soul tremble… It was a bit painful but as soon as he regained his eyesight, he realized that he was in a very familiar space…

'The Decadence Soul Tablet… This is inside the Decadence Soul Tablet… Does it mean—'

He immediately looked around and indeed, he found the blonde goddess who had blinded him.

She seemed to be surprised by his sudden appearance. This is the first time Vincent saw a human-like expression on her face…

He thought that this goddess is a being and wouldn't easily show such expression…

"Why are you here?" Her gentle and captivating voice resounded in his ears.

"It's too early… You're not ready…"

She was about to wave her hand as if to dismiss Vincent but he can't just let it happen!

"Wait! Are you going to take my eyes again?"

Vincent shouted. He no longer cares about the identity of this woman, what's important is to know more about his current disability.

The blonde goddess did not reply as if considering what to tell him. Since she also stopped sending him away, he felt that this is an opportunity.

"Tell me… About that prophecy… What should I do to see the world again? What's this new era? Can't you help me here? I know that you're not my enemy… I know that you have a purpose for doing this, but can you consider giving me more advice? Are you the one who gave me this system?" Vincent spoke without stopping.

These are the questions he pondered over and wanted to ask since he became blind. Now that he has an opportunity to meet her again, he didn't hesitate to tell her what was on his mind.

The goddess stared at him for a moment before she finally answered.

"Since you managed to arrive here on your own accord, I guess I should be rewarding you…"

Hearing this, Vincent unconsciously gulped as he waited for her to give him some advice…

"There is indeed a purpose for all of this. However, I didn't expect that you were able to remove a huge part of the seal this early… I won't be fixing it since you did this on your own… For now, ponder about the changes that I'm looking for… Once the seal was completely removed---"

Vincent didn't hear the last part of her words as he seemed to have sunken into the deep ocean… As soon as he opened his eyes, he realized that he was back in the garden… It was quite blurry unlike a while ago when he was inside the goddess' space, but it's probably because he was dizzy…

'I did it…'

This was his initial thought…

He looked at his hands to slowly focus his vision but to his surprise, the blurriness of his surroundings did not dissipate…

He took out a Health Recovery Potion +9 and immediately uncapped it…

Gulp!

With a single swallow, he emptied the vial of potion as his body started feeling rejuvenated.

However, it remained the same…

"So this what it meant for the seal being partially removed, huh…" Vincent could only sigh after realizing that this is the limit of his recovery.

He was no longer considered a completely blind person but just someone with blurred vision. His difference from other people with blurred vision is that it won't be fixed by having the right reading glass.

"Hey~ Are you alright? You've been staying there for four hours now…"

'Four hours? That long?'

Vincent suddenly heard Dianne's tired voice from a distance.

As soon as he looked at her, Dianne realized something in his eyes.

From her angle, Vincent was still basked by the moonlight and she was able to see that his previous dull eyes has started glowing with life.

That's right, there were definitely some changes after he consumed the potion!

"The effect of the potion is a lot better than I anticipated…" Vincent muttered as everyone who has been observing him heaved a sigh of relief.

Dianne was satisfied after hearing him as well.

"That's good… Anyway, you might've felt a lot better if you didn't mess with the potion… Its effectiveness might have been compromised after what you did there." She added. She's still not over with Vincent's uncontrollable impulse to modify the potion.

That's right, she thought that it was just Vincent's tinkering impulse since this man has no idea how to even make the potion. Even if he knows, it takes several months of studying the potion before a high-level alchemist can effectively enhance it.

Vincent didn't even have an entire day to study the potion. How could he just add something to it?

Nevertheless, since Vincent was in a good mood, he didn't mind Dianne's tone while reprimanding him. He didn't mind this level of prattling as he even found this quite new.

Well, all the Followers of Qheglena are too serious with him because of the Celestials' presence. Yulia and Severin, on the other hand, were only talking about their business and all sorts of matters related to their cultivation.

It was like in the academy where all he needed to do is study… Of course, she still needed to learn when to stop.

"Thank you for worrying about me, Dianne… Since I'm feeling better, I think we can now discuss the matters regarding the Star Garden Peak…"
