Chapter 1177 An Unexpected Guest

1177 An Unexpected Guest

"You've really made it difficult for me to find you, Valyr." While Valyr continued to look at him with great surprise, Braum looked back at the young man with amusement, chuckling as he opened his mouth.

In response to the question, the young man remained silent for a bit, giving himself some time to regain his bearings.

"You... what...?" Yet, even after giving himself a bit of time to think about things, Valyr was still left at a slight loss for words. After all, never did he ever think he'd meet Braum before the update arrived.

Fortunately, it only took him a bit more time for everything in his mind to finally all into place.

"...Give me a second." Taking in a deep breath as he composed himself, Valyr closed his eyes for a bit as he briefly shook his head.

Then, looking back at Braum with a calm expression, he then asked him the first question that came to mind. "I suppose you've come here with the information I asked for?"

"Wouldn't have come looking for you if that weren't the case." Nodding as he let out a bit of laughter, Braum moved closer to where Valyr was before bringing out a thin stack of documents from his spatial bracelet.

"Just so you know, I've also attached the information Julian was able to gather in the document," he told Valyr, prompting the latter to nod in response.

"Thanks." Flashing a look of gratitude at Braum, the young man quickly skimmed through the papers before looking back at the man in front of him with a slightly raised eyebrow. "Well, aside from the documents, what else brings you here?"

While looking at the man, Valyr was getting the feeling that there was another reason to why the man decided to appear in his shop all of a sudden.

Yet, rather than tell him the truth, Braum brushed off the feeling he got with a joke, letting out a bit of laughter as he replied. "What? Can't I personally deliver the information you're asking for?"

Of course, that only made the young man frown.

"Jeez... it's not that serious." Seeing that his joke only had the opposite effect on the young man, the man let out a faint sigh before telling Valyr what he wanted to know. "Well... to sum things up, I decided to make a personal visit to make sure the two clans weren't onto your tracks."

"Though it would've been great if I were the only one to know about this, I guess you knowing about it isn't a half-bad result either," continued Braum with a shrug, causing Valyr to raise his eyebrow in response.

"I've heard that they've been looking for my whereabouts before eventually heading to this place, but they're still looking for me up to this day?"

"Apparently so." Braum nodded, retrieving a couple of papers from his spatial bracelet before giving them to Valyr. "Since it didn't take much that much time to collect the information you're asking for, these are the other reports I've obtained on the two clans. The information is more general, but I think it'll pique your interest."

Briefly glancing back at Braum with a look of curiosity, Valyr eventually placed the stack of documents to the side for the meantime before receiving the reports the man was talking about.

Making sure to not miss even a single detail, the young man's expression gradually turned into that of a frown the more he read through the reports Braum compiled.

"Last seen outside the Algerie Kingdom..."

"Made his way to the Blacksmith Guild..."

"Has made it to the east frontlines..."

"Last update is his return to the Algerie Kingdom... waiting for further updates?"

Feeling like he was hitting two birds with one stone yet again, the young man let out a slight chuckle as he took out the spare materials Mystia gave him back at the Mystic Plane.

Briefly pondering over what kind of potions he'd concoct in preparation for the players, Valyr soon released Mystic Energy into the air, conjuring the rune that embodied Mystic Rune Alchemy before throwing a few batches of potion materials into the air not long after.

Controlling the Mystic Energy with his thoughts, it did not take long for him to fall into a rhythm of sorts, continuously concocting potions in a way that resembled the concentration he showed whilst forging for the past couple of days.

With that, it only seemed like a few hours had passed before Valyr obtained the notification he was waiting for.

Ding!

[Version 0.5d of Greater Beyond has finally ended!]

...

...

...

[Version 1.0 of Greater Beyond has begun!]

...

"Well then..." "That's interesting."

At the far-flung reaches of the universe, a small voice began to echo through the depths of the void.

"To think that after over 5,000 years have passed, a similar type of energy would make an appearance in this forsaken universe."

"I don't know if the heavens above have anything to do this... but no matter. With a bit of effort and time, this new energy shall become our new foundation. Our new power."

"As long as we adapt to it, it's only a matter of time until we return."

"A matter of time... until the Realm of Myths returns."

And with that, Volume 2 is finally complete. Took longer than I thought to get to this point, but now that we're here, it's only going to get more fun.

I'm sure all of you would have a lot of questions as to what the last few lines might mean, but it'll all make sense at some point. Perhaps, you might even already have theories as to what it might mean.

In any case, Valyr has prepared as much as he could.

It's time for the players to appear.
