Chapter 691 Return To The Insect Kingdom (I)

The Alternate World is bustling as always. It's pretty much the same wherever you turn your head around. Due to the influx of players joining at the moment the news of players gaining magical powers after playing the game made everyone excited about playing it and as a result, Resurgia is now bustling with players which is how it was like in the past timeline.

Today, I am just busy hammering on my workshop. After Almira took over my old Workshop when I was still in the Luminous Continent, I made a new room that is for my workshop since we can't share our workshop due to limited space, and with Almira's habits of a cluttered workspace, it's much better to have your workshop for personal and private space.

As I continue to hammer down on one of the ores I am refining, the fallen angel, Laga, the fallen angel and little brother of the Cult Leader who I rescued during the first phase of the Luminous Continent expedition enters the workshop to pick up the blue orb I made.

"I am here to pick up the item I needed as always," as he enters without much care of the burning metal's heat and smell.

"It's on the shelf. Be careful bringing it back with you."

"Yeah, yeah. You keep on telling me that, even though I have already heard you remind me of that for these past years. Come on, stop doing that, I am not that senile to forget it," Laga sighed as he grab the item he needed that I placed on the shelf.

Ever since we returned to Resurgia, his sister has yet to wake up. According to Lucia who examined her body for anything wrong, she was under "hibernation recuperation." Due to the curse of the god she worshipped before, her body became extremely weak so when the curse was lifted when that particular god was killed, it made a big backlash on her body that she cannot endure easily and in one wrong move, she will perish.

Because Angels and Fallen Angels have the ability to heal themselves, before the rebound of the curse lifting from her body takes effect, she activated the power to go into slumber and protect herself from the rebound damage to occur. Although she still suffered from it, the damage was minimal. As a result, she entered a deep slumber to recover her body from the damage. Although it was a favorable technique to avoid death, the downside is that she will be in a coma for many years, and depending on the severity of her injury, she will remain in that state for many years.

Laga is quite knowledgeable in terms of this kind of thing. Because he has undertaken this sort of event before, he knows how to handle it and how to shorten the time she will remain asleep. And that is what he was getting from the shelf, the Sphere of Healing.

It's an item that contains healing abilities that are gathered inside the sphere. This is not a potion however, and this is not supposed to be used except during some of the situations where it is more effective as this was ineffective to players but pretty effective to NPCs who are wounded. I didn't know this but thankfully, Laga gave me the info and since I know how to make it, I have a new item at my disposal as well.

After taking the item, he returned without saying goodbye as always. The guy prefers to spend his time with his sister anyways so it doesn't matter much.

I continue to work on some of my projects that have been stalled for so long and also increase the level of my Blacksmith Ex Job. It's been slow for long enough so I have been grinding on it.

A few hours passed by and after I finished one of the items I forged, Lina entered the workshop.

"Master. A letter arrived addressed to Tina has arrived."

"A letter? Did it specify who sent it?" I asked.

"No. But the seal seems to indicate that it came from the royal family."

I grab the letter from Lina's hands and checked the seal on the letter to confirm it. There, I confirmed it was indeed a letter sent by the royal family of the Insect Kingdom which means this letter is sent by Tina's parents.

I called Tina out from the Summon's Area. After so many years of practicing, Tina looks different now compared to before. Her wings which should have no color is now possessing 7 colors of the rainbow. She is now so vibrant and the size of her wings is much bigger as well though they can't rival the size of her father's wings, it was big enough to be recognized as the wings of the royalty in the insect kingdom.

"Master," Tina bowed down after she was called.

"Stand up. You have a letter that came from the Insect Kingdom, it's addressed to you," I handed over the letter to Tina.

Tina accepted it and although she was hesitant to open it, she eventually did it. I know it must have been hard for her but for her to fully move on from it, she has matured over these years.

She read the whole contents of the letter and as she move further to the letter, the more she frowned. After she was done, she sighed and scratches her head.

"What is the content of the letter? You seemed to be disappointed?" I asked,

"Ah, my parents are trying to recall me. They are trying to let me inherit the throne and rule over the Insect Kingdom because their health is now failing. They also mentioned that they want to meet you who helped me and helped repel the problem before."

"They want you to come back? Just to inherit the throne? Not for a reunion and some kind of asking forgiveness thing?" I asked since this was not what I expected to be the content of the letter.

"Yeah, it's a bullcrap reason just to call me back. They still seemed to have no choice now since every one of my siblings are dead and the only one who can inherit the throne is none other than me. But there is one thing that they included as well and it seems it involved an invasion or something which is why they are also trying to get in contact with you as well," Tina added.

"An invasion?" I started to recall things that would be happening right now in the Insect Kingdom but I don't think there was any sort of invasion happening there at the moment. Even the memories I have before didn't contain anything regarding this invasion. So I am a little confused as to what this invasion they are calling.

I turned to look at Tina who seems conflicted about what to do.

"We can just ignore this letter and move on instead if you wanted to, Tina. I am not gonna push this matter to you if you don't like it anyways."

"No, Master. It's time for me to face my parents once more and show them that I have grown. I have to give them a piece of my mind that should let them know that I am not the same as before. Therefore, Master. Please accompany me, back to the Insect Kingdom."
