Chapter 912 A New Realm

"I feel the same," Stronghold Leader Zogar added. "I can sense my gift reacting, but I won't know the extent of the changes until tomorrow, as Seraphina mentioned."

"Tch!" Stronghold Leader Seth hissed fiercely, turning abruptly and leaving the room.

Orion and the others exchanged glances, sighing. They understood Seth's frustration and couldn't fault him for his reaction.

"Alright, get some rest. We'll check on you tomorrow," Orion said.

Fifi and Stronghold Leader Zogar nodded in acknowledgement. They watched as some Healers' Association members walked in and assisted them, guiding them towards the rooms where they would stay until they recovered.

After they were taken to their rooms, the remaining key leaders stayed behind to ask the Healer Association leaders questions about the procedure. They wanted to be prepared for when their own members underwent the same process.

Meanwhile, Orion exited the room with Seraphina, who escorted him out of the building.

"Did anything unusual happen during the procedure?" Orion asked, glancing at Seraphina.

"Not really. Aside from the painful assimilation of the Vylkr Fusion Armlet to their very being, everything went surprisingly well," Seraphina responded enthusiastically. She had been surprised by how smoothly the procedure had gone, which confirmed her belief that the Vylkr warriors were the ideal wielders for the Vylkr Fusion Armlet.

This success meant they could be more confident about future procedures.

'Does this have something to do with the hierarchy of power indicators?' he thought.

Despite his familiarity with various mechanisms, he couldn't discern her exact plan. He decided to let it be a surprise, trusting that whatever she had in mind would be worth the wait.

"If you're okay with it, then I see no problem rejecting your offer, Chief," Seraphina responded.

Once they arrived outside, she halted and leaned in to kiss him. "I'll see you at home later, husband." With that, she turned and disappeared back into the building.

Orion took a moment to gather after all he had learned before leaping into the air to meet with Isadora and handle some Border City matters.

It had been three days since the festival. Anara had called to check their progress in regrowing the floating island's vegetation, so afterwards, he planned to inspect it before heading to meet with Gorg and Grim to see how far they had progressed in forming their next Vylkr containers, especially since Tala had already crossed the threshold and was ready to create her own Vylkr containers.

The next day

Second Border City

In a specially designed training area for warriors, Fifi and Stronghold Leader Zogar stood apart on a stage, the tension discernible between them. Surrounding them were the Healers' Association leaders, Orion, and the rest of the Key leaders, all watching intently with a mix of interest and curiosity.

Now that Stronghold Leader Zogar and Fifi had recovered from their procedure, they were about to test their enhanced abilities against each other to see how far they had progressed.
