Chapter 1019: Progenitor



Walking through the streets of Algerie, a pair of men slowly made their way to an inn late at night.

"It's been a while since we've been here," said Wells to Edward, his expression that of slight excitement. "It's also been a while since we've last seen Valyr."

Having participated in the war against the orcs, it went without saying that Wells' appearance had drastically changed.

Wearing the uniform that was commonly worn by those in the frontlines, Wells had mostly lost the adventurous look he had in the past.

Instead, it was replaced with the look of a battle-hardened veteran, the various wounds and scars on his body a reminder of his various struggles.

On the other hand, Edward now looked like a capable commander on the battlefield, even though his age was still that of an early teenager.

Nevertheless, the talent he'd shown in both combat and tactics had garnered the attention and approval of many in the battlefield, which was part of the reason why they were finally able to return to the inn where they stayed.

"It's been 10 months since we've last seen him," said Edward, slightly hastening his footsteps as he adorned a faint smile. "How much stronger do you think he is right now?"Updated chapters at novelhall.com

"Probably a lot more than we can imagine," replied Wells as he let out laughter. "After all, he's been in an inheritance for quite a long time."

"But that doesn't mean our improvements are nothing to talk about either," continued the man, to which Edward nodded in agreement as they hastened their paces once more.

With the strength they've honed and tempered thanks to the ongoing war, it only took a few more minutes for the two to arrive at the inn where they resided.

With various thoughts and scenarios flashing in their minds, a look of excitement could be seen on both of their faces as they opened the door.

Yet, just as they were expecting to be greeted by the sight of a smiling Valyr, they were instead greeted by the same sight they left behind when they enlisted for war in the first place.

"..." For a while, silence covered the entire space as Edward and Wells looked at each other in slight confusion.

"Did he not come to the inn in the first place?"

As this question appeared in their minds, the two began to walk around the room for a bit, eventually confirming their suspicions as they let out sighs of relief.

For one, he noticed that a couple inches were added to his height, which was something Valyr considered to only be noticeable if one had interacted with him for a long time.

Other than that, he felt that his face looked more aesthetically pleasing than before, though he wasn't sure what the exact reason was.

Faintly smiling as he took note of these changes, Valyr also took note of the changes that happened to him internally, specifically the muscles making up his body.

Though they didn't look any different to how they were before, the young man felt that his muscles were far more dense than before, possibly due to the fact that it had to accommodate the greater strength he now wielded.

Doing a few basic combat movements because of that realization, Valyr soon realized that he could exert more control over his body, eliciting a grin to appear on his face as he sat once more on the bed.

"System, bring up my notification screen." Though he'd already familiarized himself with the various changes that happened to his body, Valyr wanted to get a more detailed idea of how much he'd improved thanks to the ascension.

Ding!

With that, he brought up his notification screen, immediately being bombarded with numerous notifications that involved the increase of stats.

Going through them one by one, the smile on Valyr's face gradually grew larger and larger as

he felt that a wider path had been opened to him.

However, that smile became crooked once his gaze landed on a couple of notifications.
