"Really?" At those words, Edward looked at Valyr with excitement, explaining to the latter he and Wells were on a short vacation from the frontlines. "Does that mean you'll be
accompanying us when we head back to the frontlines, then?"
Hearing the question, a slight hint of confusion appeared on the young man's face as he looked at Wells in the hopes for clarification.
Fortunately, his friend seemed more than eager to give him a greater understanding of the current situation, causing Valyr to click his tongue the moment Wells was done explaining.
"Damn. You're telling you two have been working hard for months already, yet you've only gotten a week of rest in exchange?"
"It could be worse." Wells bitterly chuckled in response to Valyr's question. "If not for the fact that Edward here became the captain of a 100-man group, we would probably still be stuck in the frontlines."
"Only people at that level and above could leave the frontlines for a considerable length of time, actually," continued Edward where Wells left off, giving Valyr a bitter smile of his own.
"In fact, the commander of our group only allowed me to bring Wells along since he was impressed with my performance."
"So, you're saying that I'll be stuck in the frontlines until I reach a similar rank as you?" Listening to how strict the frontlines were according to the two, Valyr had a slight frown on his face as the scenario popped in his mind.
At the same time, he felt guilt towards the two once more, their words making him realize that they'd gone through the same, if not a greater level of suffering than he did.
"Considering your current strength, probably not," replied Wells after a bit of silence, grabbing the meals that they've ordered from the inn. "As long as you have control over an Intent, you immediately become the captain of a 10-man group."
Giving the meal Valyr ordered to him, the man continued, "Plus, with how the Blacksmith Guild treat you, would those at the frontlines really treat you that poorly?"
At those words, the young man went silent for a bit, pondering over his thoughts as he savored the food he'd been given.
By lazing around with him in their room.
Seeing as all Wells and Edward wanted to do for the entire week was rest after having tirelessly fought for months on end, Valyr let out a bit of laughter as he was reminded of his time in the Four Pillars' Inheritance.
Being reminded of one of his conversations with Julian because of it, the young man wrote a mental note about it to return to later on as he made his way to his part of the room.
Then, sitting cross-legged on his bed, he let out a long exhale before focusing his senses inward.
Whoosh!
Briefly checking to see if Wells and Edward were going to disturb him, the young man faintly let out a sigh of relief before slowly bringing himself to the depths of his psyche.
'If it wasn't for the meeting I needed to attend, I would've probably stayed for another day in the Mystic Plane to do this.'
Inwardly muttering these words to himself, the young man stared at the vast dark space in front of him before summoning all of the Prime Azure Energy he could muster.
'Then again, I only had a limited amount of time to improve my Mystic Energy as much as I could.'
'I think I improved it quite a lot, even.'
Breaking down the Prime Azure Energy into its most basic constituents, Valyr removed the lingering Void Energy and Intent from space, swiftly replacing it with the bright white energy
he'd just obtained.
Swoosh!
'In any case, the thought has lingered in my mind for long enough. There's already precedent that it's possible to do something similar, thus it's only right to find out its answer.' 'Then again, who knows what will happen if you mix mana and Mystic Energy together?'
