Chapter 842 Four Pillars: Vertigo

Chapter 842 Four Pillars: Vertigo

"Ugh..."

After regaining consciousness, the first thing Valyr felt was a headache that threatened to consume him, making him feel like it was bound to split into two at any point.

Giving it the time it needed to gradually subside, the young man also noticed that he seemed to be clutching onto something with one of his hands, faintly reminding him of what had transpired just before he came to.

'I guess all of that wasn't a lie,' thought Valyr back to the time where he and Sellifer began to say their goodbyes, only for him to stop his train of thought as the headache surged back with greater force.

Deciding that it was better for him to solve the problem of his headache for the meantime, the young man forced himself to stash the item Sellifer had given him into his spatial bracelet before focusing all of his attention towards the headache.

Conjuring a ball of cold water to wrap around his forehead with his newly transformed [Azure Turtle Manifestation Arts], it was only then did Valyr finally feel a bit of relief, letting out a sigh as he proceeded to not think about anything too complex for the time being.

Of course, that did not stop the young man from looking around his surroundings, wondering where the rift he conjured ended up bringing him to.

"A fair distance away from the camp," murmured Valyr to himself, frowning as a twinge of pain came from his mind at that moment.

Taking in a few deep breaths to allow his mind to continue recovering, the young man soon noticed that he appeared on the rooftop of one of the buildings surrounding the true center of the city ruins.

Seeing the barren spot at the true center now become truly barren after his talk with Vaughn, Valyr let out a long sigh as he decided to rest on the ground for a bit more.

Staring at the sun that told him it was already afternoon due to its position, the young man closed his eyes and allowed the cold yet soothing sensation of water to envelop him.

Surprisingly, it was only a couple of hours later did the headache subside to what Valyr felt was a tolerable level for him to handle.

Sure, the headache still had a ways to go before it truly disappeared, but the young man felt like its effects at the moment would not hamper him from doing anything he usually did.

With that, he dispelled the water he conjured before impulsively casting an [Advanced Heal] on himself.

Powered with his newly obtained Azure Energy, the parts of the skill that Valyr wanted to take effect were greatly amplified, reducing the effects of the headache to where it was now negligible.

"Would still prefer taking a painkiller," said the young man with a slight chuckle, keeping in mind how much Azure Energy each skill cost to activate.

"In any case, my idea of preparing more skills before entering the inheritance has finally shown its worth."

Standing up as he thought of heading back to the temporary he and the others created, Valyr immediately felt a strong sense of vertigo wash over him.

Realizing that Sellifer was a Divine-level being just like Vaughn, the young man felt cold all of a sudden, understanding then and there that the power Sellifer showed him during the time they spent did not even cover the tip of the iceberg.

If anything, he felt that even the tip of the tip of the iceberg was too big to encompass the amount of power Sellifer showed him.

Saving his thoughts on her full power for some other time, Valyr soon focused his thoughts onto another topic that involved those at the Divine-level.

'Did she ascend to the Divine level just recently... or did she ascend sometime ago?'

From what he saw back then regarding Sellifer's journey to discovering Azure Energy, Valyr noticed that the Veldanyr he saw during that time was vastly different to the Veldanyr he was seeing now.

Of course, there were still a few areas that looked as bustling as the Algerie Kingdom he was currently in, but there was something to Sellifer's Veldanyr that only his treasure trove of memories and his blacksmithing experience could probably notice.

'Quite a lot of the technology in place nowadays hasn't been invented yet.'

Though he didn't know how long it took the human race to get their technology up to this point, Valyr surmised that Sellifer was born either around the start of the Age of Innovation, or a few thousands to tens of thousands of years before the current time.

'It doesn't make a lot of sense for her to have been born during the Age of Uprising, even if it was near the end of it,' the young man said to himself.

Aside from that, he recalled Sellifer's comment on Noel after he had brought him up.

'According to her, the two saw each other a few decades ago... which doesn't really change anything now that I think about it.'

In the end, Valyr surmised that she had reached the Divine level quite sometime ago, considering that even a peak Myth-level being would not be able to live as long as she already had.

"Ah. Finally back."

Having subconsciously decided to zoom around the center of the city ruins for a while as he gathered his thoughts, Valyr soon alighted on the rooftop where their temporary camp was, feeling a great sense of relief wash over his body the moment he stepped foot.

Seeing that Hal and Vera weren't around in the meantime, the young man decided to head down for a while to see how his newly improved skills stacked up against the feral humans.

Unfortunately, before he could even do so...

"Valyr...?"

"Is that really you, Valyr?"
