Chapter 225 Fix a broken 'Path'...? Part-3.

Chapter 225 Fix a broken 'Path'...? Part-3.

Rhymel, southwestern area, atop a small hill.

The sun slowly set and the night view of the city became clear.

Seeing the night view of the city, Lia was content.

In her opinion, this trip to the Elven Empire was already a great success, that's how beautiful the scenery was from here.nove(l)bi(n.)com

The lights in this world are enhanced by magic, thus they don't create 'light pollution', and that's why you can still see the starry sky.

Under the starry sky, a giant world tree stood unmoving, and near its base stood a bright city.

From time to time some leaves from the world tree would fall on the city and add another charm to this scenery.

"It's beautiful..." (Lia)

"Indeed" (Rio)

In fact, Rio wasn't really looking at the scenery, he was looking at Lia's face who was smiling in excitement, for him that was the most interesting thing.

Lia didn't notice Rio's sneaky looks, she got up and took some photos of the scenery.

Later Both Rio and Lia took a selfie together to keep it as a memory.

...

Time passed, and night came, it was already 8 P.M. by the time the two of them were done enjoying the scenery.

*Yaaawn~*

"I feel sleepy~" (Lia)

Seeing that cute sleepy look on Lia's face, Rio said in his usual emotionless tone:

"You should go back now, it's getting late..." (Rio)

"Yeah- hmm, me? What about you? Aren't you coming with me?" (Lia)

A confused look appeared on Lia's face, she was quite surprised by his words.

"Yeah, I have something to do... you should head back for now..." (Rio)

"Oh, well if you say so..." (Lia)

Although Lia wanted to know further details, she didn't question much. She knew that Rio had always been a secretive guy.

She didn't mind it much and waved her hand to say bye and left with a smile, she kept looking at the photos that she clicked today, all the way back until she reached back to her room.

Seeing Lia's fading figure, the slight calmness around Rio disappeared instantly and his aura became exceptionally cold and sharp.

He tilted his head towards a certain tree nearby and said in his usual emotionless tone:

"You should come out now... you have been standing there for so long, aren't you tired?" (Rio)

A strange silence ensued in the area after Rio said those words.

After a few seconds of strange silence, the other party gave up hiding.

*Step**Step*

"I am surprised you were able to detect me.... Well, I guess no 'candidate' who was able to make it here is ordinary after all... sigh..." (???)

Rio stared at the other party and he immediately confirmed his guess.

'So, he did come here after all... my guess was right... good.' (Rio)

"Ah, Let me introduce myself first-" (???)

"Ailduin Yeljyre, The crown prince of the Elven Empire, the 'Millennial Druid' title holder... Blessed with the talent of a 'demi-god'..." (Rio)

Hearing Rio pronounce all of his titles and exaggerate him that much, the guy felt quite embarrassed.

Rio certainly can't use soul-splitting on his friends.

With his sword intent and other skills, he can only 'keep up' with Link's insane physique, there's no other skill in his arsenal that can fatally injure Link.

Although Rio doesn't like to admit it, Link is one of the few persons whom Rio respects for their amazing capabilities.

"Haha, being able to keep up with him is already a big deal you know... compared to you I am more of a garbage, I can't even keep up with my little sister... sigh..." (Al)

At Al's words, Rio shook his head.

"No, you are mistaken, I am only able to keep up with him in 'combat', but that guy has an insane talent for everything... he is a master at games, sports, piano, singing, cooking, politics, accounting, etc..." (Rio)

"The skills that guy has makes him a monster through and through..." (Rio)

While saying that, there was genuine admiration in Rio's eyes, if not for the fact that Link was described as a 'villain' character in the novel, Rio would have really mistaken him as the 'Main Character' of this world.

Hearing Rio say that Al's eyes widened more and more in surprise.

Although he knew a bit of insider info, only a few people in the world knew about Link's skills that were not related to combat.

"You can't be serious right? Is that guy even human?" (Al)

"Now that I think about it... even my sister who is so talented doesn't hold a candle against that guy then... sigh~ the world is so wide there are so many monsters out there...." (Al)

Just when Al said that Rio immediately put his hand on Al's shoulder and looked directly into Al's eyes.

"Yes, that's exactly what I am trying to say, there are many talented 'monsters' out there, you shouldn't envy them, the reason why your aura has become weaker..." (Rio)

"Is because you envied the talent of your sister a bit too much and forgot about your own 'Path'... that unsolidified 'Path' was fragile and this carelessness caused the breaking of your 'Path'..." (Rio)

Hearing Rio's words, Al's eyes widened in shock.

As if he was struck by a sudden epiphany, the glow in his eyes returned. The flame of ambition that was just about to die out once again burned in his eyes.

[Ding! The 'Broken Path' has been fixed!]

[Ding! The flames of ambition burn brightly in your heart once again!]

[Ding! Your mental state has returned to normal!]

[Ding! You got an epiphany!]

[Ding! Ascending to Rank S!]

A massive amount of mana started to gather around Al instantly. A massive tornado of mana started to form, and the sudden appearance of dark clouds hid the stars in the sky.

Thunder roared among the dark clouds, and the insanely condensed mana instantly obliterated the small hill on which Rio and Al were sitting.

The Whole Elven Capital's attention was grabbed by this one event, it was truly an unexpected sight.

As they say: 'Inspiration or epiphany comes in the most unexpected moments...'

Author's Notes.

Yo! It's your beloved author here! It seems Rio really has talent in 'redeeming' villains and showing them the proper path...

Question of the day.

Do you know why Al had such a sudden epiphany?

1. It's because he was acknowledged for the first time, by Rio.

2. It's because he figured out the conflicts in his heart...
