Chapter 1015: What One Must Do



Whoosh!

Passing through the rift, Valyr immediately squinted his eyes as he stepped on the dried-up corpse of the Greater Tidemother.

Seeing the sun high up in the sky, he then opened up his status screen, only to find out that an entire day had passed while he'd been brought into the Alltide's private subspace.

Pondering over what he should do next, Valyr's train of thought was shortly interrupted as Vaughn's words echoed out from the other side of the rift. "I guess this is where we part ways."

"Then again, if you need my help, you could always use the talisman to contact me."

Nodding in response to the man's words, Valyr went silent for a bit before asking, "Are you gonna head back to the temporal realm since I now have a worse mark on my back?"

"It seems so," replied Vaughn with a wry smile. "With it now being a Tier III mark, I don't know how long it'll take me to create the solution for the curse. All I can tell you at this point is that I'll eventually complete it."

"Still better than telling me there's no hope," said Valyr in response, which elicited laughter to erupt from Vaughn.

"That's true." Vaughn nodded in agreement, only for his eyes to slightly widen as he gave a knowing smile to the young man. "Now that I think about it, I have a feeling that it'll take me less time to make it than I initially thought."

Though Valyr was curious as to what Vaughn meant by that, the latter did not give him the time to figure it out as Vaughn began to close the rift.

"Don't forget to ascend to the next class rank," said Vaughn before the rift fully closed. "In fact, even ascending to the peak of mortality isn't a problem with the amount of feats you've achieved."

"Anyways, talk to you later."

Swoosh!

Watching as the rift disappeared before his very eyes, Valyr blankly stared at the spot where the rift once was before sitting down on the massive corpse of the Greater Tidemother.

"Since I abruptly had to go somewhere yesterday, I decided to make up for it by staying here for some time."

At those words, Alfaera let out a bit of laughter. "Actually, I told Tristan that you'd make up for it after he told me that. He didn't believe it."

Hearing that, Valyr let out laughter himself as the two continued to talk about Astarto and the various things that happened to the town while he was away.

Eventually, Tristan had arrived at the town hall, causing the conversation to last longer as the three seemingly took the time to fully catch up with what they were doing.

"Oh yeah." At some point in their conversation, Tristan looked at Valyr in the eye as his expression became serious. "Damian approached me yesterday to send you a message."

Seeing as Alfaera's expression turned serious at those words, the young man had a look of slight suspicion on his face as he asked, "What did he say?"

"He told me that you should talk with him at the barracks," said Tristan in response, causing the suspicion on Valyr's face to somewhat deepen.

Understanding what Valyr's look meant, the man continued, "I'm pretty sure he doesn't have any malicious intent towards you. His personality may have changed, but he still looks out for

the town."

"But I am curious on what he wants to talk with you about." Tristan slightly shrugged. "So, are you gonna head to the barracks now?"

"Do I need to go to the barracks now?" asked Valyr in response, to which Tristan slightly shook his head.

Seeing that, Valyr replied, "Then, I'll stay in the town hall for the meantime and get some

rest."

Asking Alfaera if he could stay in one of the town hall's guest rooms again, the gears in Valyr's mind continued spinning as he finally finished the train of thought he had earlier.

With Vaughn's words acting as his compass of sorts, he knew what he had to do first before

heading to meet Damian.

And that was... to ascend to Rank 4.
