Chapter 1102: To the Frontlines



"And here I thought you'd take a bit longer."

Waiting by one of the defense gates of the kingdom, both Wells and Edward donned their military uniforms as they greeted the young man coming to see them with a smile.

"Sorry, sorry," replied Valyr back at Wells' words, his expression showing genuine remorse for his actions. "Got a bit too immersed while forging at the guild."

"In any case, your extended stay here wouldn't cause too much of a problem, no?" asked the young man soon after, to which Edward shook his head in response.

"It won't, but we'll have to speed up our travel to the frontlines in exchange," said Edward as The gave Valyr a brief explanation of what he meant.

"Though we told you we'll only be staying in the kingdom for a week before leaving, in actuality, we've been given two weeks of rest away from the frontlines. We just factored in the amount of time we'll take to come here and head back."

Hearing those words as they left the defense gates, Valyr immediately understood. "So, you're telling me that, if the two of you were fast enough, you could have extended your stay here for a few more days?"

"Pretty much." Wells nodded in agreement, only to wryly smile soon after. "In fact, that's also the reason why we plan on investing on long-range movement skills in the future. The movement skills we have right now are more suited for close-range combat."

"I see," replied the young man, briefly checking to see if [Thousand Polymorph] was still active after Julian reminded him.

Inwardly letting out a sigh of relief after that, the three continued to walk beyond the kingdom's defense gates for a while before Valyr went ahead and put on his newly upgraded set of True Wyvern Armor.

Whoosh!

Immediately feeling the boost to his attributes the moment he wore the entire set, the young man had a satisfied smile on his face as he thought about how he was now wearing a set of armor made for a Rank 5 class holder.

Making sure that Sana was properly affixed to his back after that, Valyr went ahead and gave the two a nod, signaling to the two that they could now focus on traveling back to the frontlines.

Whoosh!

Watching Valyr step on the head of the azure dragon, the two watched as the young man swiftly began to soar hundreds of meters into the air, causing them to be left at a complete loss for words.

After all, it was at that moment that they realized that there was a lot that they didn't know about the young man, prompting them to briefly wonder if they were even with the same person they knew.

Though, such thoughts immediately disappeared from their minds the moment Valyr helped them onto the azure dragon, allowing them to swiftly zoom through the air at speeds that matched the top speed of supercars of the modern era.

Swoosh!

Allowing the strong winds to blow through their hair, Valyr went ahead and conjured a barrier of energy around the three of them after seeing both Wells and Edward try their best to hold onto the azure dragon.

Apologizing to the two after that, he then asked the two how far the frontlines were in relation to the kingdom.

Hearing that their part of the frontlines was situated about 2,000 kilometers away from the kingdom, the young man looked at the two of them with surprise, finding it difficult to wrap his head around the thought of the two running for over 600 kilometers a day on end. Though, with a bit of explanation on their part, the young man more or less understood how they were able to do it, prompting Valyr to inwardly ask himself how much distance he could travel in a day if he were in their position.

'Considering how high my stats are, it won't be a problem to cover double the distance they did in a day,' thought the young man to himself.

'If I also factor in the speed I pulled off just now, as well as took into consideration the large number of potions I have in my bracelet, the speed-boosting skills I have and force myself to run for the whole day... 3,500? 4,000 kilometers, perhaps?'

'Man...' Coming to that conclusion, Valyr briefly had a wry smile on his face. 'That puts a lot of things into perspective. Only now do I realize how much stronger and faster I've gotten since

then.'

'... It's far, far higher than I thought where I'd end up at first, that's for sure.'

After mulling over his thoughts for a bit more, the young man eventually spent his time

talking with the two as they continued traveling through the air, only to arrive at the frontlines around six hours later.
