Chapter 1068: An Unexpected Change



"Do you two really have to go back now?" Watching as Mystia and Valyr stepped in front of a rift back to Veldanyr, Marcus had a look of sadness on his face as he glanced at the two. "Especially you, Valyr. Do you really have to go back?"

"I'm afraid so," said Valyr with a wry smile, getting an idea of what was going on in Marcus' mind.

After all, ever since he'd appeared in the Mystic Plane, the plane had grown both in size and strength by leaps and bounds, allowing Marcus' position as the Overseer to become stronger than ever before.

Even the fact that he'd sacrificed a bit of his strength to give Valyr an additional subclass slot already seemed like a thing of the far past, considering that Marcus had already recovered a portion of his strength back.

Though both Mystia and Valyr were slightly surprised by this announcement, the two soon felt that it made sense once Marcus mentioned that their actions through the past few days had allowed the Mystic Plane to grow a bit more.

Of course, the growth was minuscule compared to the massive contribution Valyr brought to the plane after becoming its Guardian, but it was a level of progress that would've difficult for the plane to achieve in the past.

"It's not like we're leaving the plane forever," Valyr reassured Marcus, letting out a peal of laughter after that. "We just need to attend to some of our things, then we'll head back if we can."

"Plus, if there ever comes an emergency where you need us back at the Mystic Plane, you could just conjure a rift and we'll appear in front of you shortly," continued Mystia, causing Valyr to look at her with slight surprise before soon nodding in agreement.

While the young man was internalizing the ability Marcus had that Mystia just mentioned, Marcus mulled over their words in silence, only to let out a sigh not long after as he nodded.

"Do make sure to come back when you can," said the man with a slightly somber smile, waving farewell to the two as they finally crossed the rift back to Veldanyr.

Whoosh!

Appearing once more within Mystia's chambers inside the Meltierre Heavenly Court, Valyr let out a sigh of relief, smiling as he felt that his experience within the Mystic Plane almost felt like a dream.

Not long after, Mystia appeared right beside him, letting out her own sigh of relief as well. Returning to the desk she occupied before their venture into the Mystic Plane, the Imperial Alchemist took a deep breath as she noticed that a few documents had been added to her desk while they were gone.

Letting out a long exhale as she went through them, Mystia briefly stopped what she was doing as she looked at the lounging Valyr. "So, are you planning to stay here till the meeting with the directors start?"

"I'll probably head back to the kingdom," said the young man after a bit of contemplation, opening up his chat screen to send a message to Julian of his return in advance.

Reminding himself to strut around the Blacksmith Guild using Ylvar identity more often from now on, Valyr eventually left the guild after talking about a few things with Julian regarding the meeting with the directors the following day.

'I've really gained a lot from the Mystic Plane.' Making his way back to the inn as he thought about he'd apologize to both Wells and Edward, Valyr briefly went over the things he'd obtained from the Mystic Plane.

'Not only did I become the plane's Guardian, I was also able to improve my Mystic Energy capacity, the purity of my Mystic Energy, as well as pick up alchemy from Mystia.'

'Though, out of all those gains, the greatest one definitely has to be the fact that I gained a second subclass slot,' thought Valyr to himself, inwardly laughing with glee.

'Then again, that does beg the question.'

'I still have that First Gunslinger quest that gives me a second subclass slot if I were to

complete it.'

'Would completing that quest affect the second subclass slot I currently have?'

Thinking about how the second subclass slot Marcus gave him was limited in terms of maximum rarity, Valyr felt that the answer to his question leaned more towards a yes than a

no.

However, just as that answer came to mind, the system seemed to have a response of its own.

Ding!

[The system has finished analyzing the changes brought about by the additional subclass

slot.]

[Taking your additional subclass slot into consideration, the objectives and rewards of the special subclass quest 'The First Gunslinger (Veldanyr)' has been adjusted.]

[May you bring the art of firearms back to Veldanyr with ever greater glory.]
