Chapter 617 Meanwhile, the two Transcendents...

David ignored their astonished expressions and turned towards Alden before concluding.

"Whatever connection you may have with my fellow Hero's companion; I implore you to visit the Barthmont Palace once they awaken to speak with them."

The boy looked Alden in the eyes as he spoke, not even the slightest bit intimidated by the aura of power rolling off the man's body.

He was someone who grew up seeing Living Legends and Sovereigns on a daily basis, and his father was even a Transcendent. This resulted in him growing accustomed to the inherent feeling of suppression that these powerful beings exuded.

"Thank you very much for your understanding."

David concluded his words with a polite smile, before turning towards Dandeyr who was now standing beside him and asking.

"Is it possible for us to transport that cocoon to Goras?"

"That's quite complicated..."

[I know what you're worried about, but as far as you don't hold hostility, the destruction energy would not lash out at you.]

Kayla spoke up right after Dandeyr replied, addressing the man's worry about coming in contact with Evan's cocoon.

"If that's the case..."

David and Malaya found it somewhat unexpected that Dandeyr quickly trusted Kayla's statements. Despite their surprise, the Beastman didn't comment on it. He proceeded to raise the cocoon from the ground into the air, utilizing the energy of the law of gravity with his hand movements.

"That's good. Now then, sister."

Finally, David turned towards his elder sister, whose gaze he had been ignoring all this while, and with a light smile, he asked.

"Can I leave handling the rest here to you? I'd like to return to Goras immediately, as well as send a report to Father."

Malayla regarded her brother with a scrutinizing gaze, clearly harbouring numerous questions. However, she chose to maintain silence on the matter, offering a nod instead. She then redirected her complete attention to dealing with the aftermath of the situation.

David silently watched as she accepted the papers with all the citywide structural damage detailed on them while walking away, sighing softly before turning to Dandeyr and speaking. novElB1n

"Come on, Uncle. Let's go.

You guys as well. Your Party leader did say I should put you all under my care."

In this manner, David, accompanied by the Anomalies, boarded the airship that transported him to Lacertilia. The vessel ascended gradually into the sky, and in a matter of minutes, it disappeared beyond the horizon of Dungeon City Lacertilia.

May 7th

Year 1053

The walls of the cavern had been forged by nature's fury, bearing the scars of volcanic tumult, the hardened lava creating an intricate tapestry of black and crimson.

"Well, a certain goddess happened to drop the law on the floor when she was picking up the souls of the Tenth Finger of the demonic hand and her contractor.

I merely picked up the crystal after she left."

Hearing Rathal's reply, Kolvar turned towards him with an incredulous gaze, as if asking 'What bullshit are you saying?'.

Knowing just how much power those who had surpassed Transcendence possessed, Kolvar could not understand how a being like that needed to use her hands to extract souls from a corpse.

"Even I can do that without lifting my hands!"

"Don't think about it too much."

Rathal replied to Kolvar with a chuckle, before jumping up to the top of the monster corpse and carving out its eyes as he continued.

"Anyway, I heard your little conversation.

The new generation Second Hero; that boy always does things to keep himself in the spotlight. Is he a sucker for fame or something?

To think he killed a dragon and ate the thing's heart in front of thousands of people."

The man shook his head silently as he held up the giant eyeball and inspected it closely, only to incinerate it when he discovered it didn't contain what he wanted.

"I doubt he'd be the same kid who trembled just from seeing me two years ago."

He dusted the ashes off his hands and he spoke with an amused smile on his face, while Kolvar remained silent, his mind dwelling on another part of the information he had received.

'To think David was one of the 'Seven'...'

The man was still shocked that his son was one of the Seven Heroes he and the other members of the 'Five' had been pursuing for years now.

"How about we pay a visit to one of our World's Heroes?"

Rathal's voice snapped him out of his thoughts and the Beastman looked towards him, sighing softly before speaking.

"Don't do anything silly."

Kolvar then held out his right hand and slashed the air, creating a brown claw-shaped tear in the space in front of him. The scene surprised Rathal as he didn't know Kolvar had picked up Spatial laws.

"When the hell did you get the law of space?"

"I stole the crystal from Altrishia when she was sleeping."

This time, even Rathal was surprised, but it was only momentary.

"You stole from that old hag? Where is it? Gimme the crystal."

"No."

"But why?"

"Because Trigger."

"The heck does that even mean?!"

While having this meaningless conversation, the two men disappeared into the short-distance spatial gate which slowly closed up behind them.

The moment the portal closed up, all the Legendary and Sovereign Level monsters in the dungeon, even the giant salamander whose nest was destroyed by Rathal, breathed a simultaneous sigh of relief.

'Finally! Those monsters are gone!'
