Chapter 972 The Gift Awakens

She sensed that since she lost her virginity, she was beginning to disregard her titled position outside of their home. Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com

They weren't Lyra and Ursa, whose mother-and-daughter relationship would make one doubt who gave birth to whom.

"I was just excited. It's natural since I am now a warrior with a Four-star potential," Gina responded, rolling her eyes. "Although it's still not as incredible as my brother, who has six-star potential." She leaned in and gave Orion a quick peck on the lips.

Reena immediately became annoyed and shifted her attention to Orion. "I've told you to stop indulging her. And if you continue, I will ensure I don't repeat myself," she warned, preparing to walk away if they continued.

Fortunately, Orion noticed this and brought Gina down, not wanting to push Reena's buttons.

"I still respect you, elder sister. But we are currently in the village, so no one will find it strange how we express our love for each other or think we are disrespecting you––" Gina began, but just before she could gain further momentum, Orion swiftly sealed her lips.

Unfortunately, Reena had already heard enough to understand Gina's words. "Even within the village, siblings rarely fall in love with each other," she hissed through clenched teeth.

"Ahem! Gina, you should return to the others and continue your awakening ceremony. Reena and I are currently at work, and it's best if no one annoys anyone," Orion swiftly interjected before Gina could respond.

Gina clicked her tongue and turned away, muttering under her breath, "Hmph! I will become the Stronghold Leader one day, and then we'll see who holds the higher position."

As Gina left, Orion was about to speak, but Reena swiftly raised her hand. "I don't want to hear it. You made her this way, so figure it out yourself and make her return to normal. If you don't, I'd rather stay home than step out as the Village Chieftess, and you'll have to find a new Chieftess. I'm sure Lyra and Derry, despite her current task, would be interested in the position," she snapped.

Orion quickly shook his head. "I promise to find a way to bring her back to normal," he replied, his expression serious.

Orion could tell Reena meant every word and the last thing he wanted was to choose between Lyra and Vivian for the Chieftess position. Moreover, he didn't want to do anything that would make Reena feel bad about his actions.

"I'll wait and see how it turns out," Reena responded, rolling her eyes as she led the way forward.

"You're exhausted from activating your gift. Let's get you inside so you can rest," Orion added, guiding Gina back into the manor.

....

It took a month before Orion and the key leaders received information that the blacksmiths, runesmiths, and enchanters had thoroughly learned the intricacies of the Vylkr Fusion Armlet and how to forge its components under the tutelage of Seraphina and the other leaders of the Healers Association.

After two weeks of continuous trial and error, they finally created the Vylkr Fusion Armlet without outside help.

........

One and a half months since the resurrection of goddess Ilse.

Orion and the other key figures arrived at the far end of the floating island, where the high-rise buildings dedicated to researching the Vylkr Fusion Armlet and Gearweaver stood.

A woman immediately approached them, greeting them as though she had been expecting their arrival. Her voice was filled with anticipation as she said, "This way, I'll guide you to the procedure room." She led the way, with Orion and the key leaders following closely behind.

They passed through several rooms and workshops until they reached a particular door.

The woman briskly rapped her knuckles against the door.

"Come in," a familiar voice echoed from within.

She opened it and gestured for them to enter before swiftly closing it behind them.

When they entered, Seraphina and a few leaders of the Healer's Association greeted them.
