235 Formation Core (2/2)

It was a shiny, palm-sized marble that emitted a rainbow-colored glow. It floated towards Raven, who was smiling in satisfaction. He then sighed and went weak for a second. Thankfully, Luna was there to catch him. He smiled and thank her by kissing her cheeks, much to the embarrassment of the girl.

”So?” Ellen placed her hands on her hips and asked : ”What does that do?”

”By itself. Nothing much.” Raven replied, ”But if used properly, it could do many things.”

He knows that he was being cryptic in his explanation so he continued: ”This is a Formation Core. The effect of the items we got from the danger zones are recorded inside this small thing but of course they were re-purposed. For example, the core of the Immersion Forest could create some fearsome illusion, that function is still here but it was mellowed down, also it won't eat up the people trapped in the illusion.”

”The Horn of Northern Wind could still create a chilling field, but it could be turned off at will. Things like that is what I mean by repurposing the items. And it still has a room for adjustments. If I am provided with the sufficient amount of resources, I could still make improvements in this thing. But this will do for now.”

The rest were in awe with his explanation. Somehow they are looking forward to see what kind of things Raven has up on his sleeves with the use of this Formation Core. If everything works properly, then they might have a new training grounds for themselves.

”Alright, I think that's enough for today.” Luna interjected as she gently urged Raven to lean on her, ”We are tired and needed some rest. Let's meet up again once we rested.”

Her words invoked a wave of exhaustion to wash over their bodies. Everyone agreed to her words, while they might've rested while waiting for each other, that wasn't nearly enough for them to completely recover. Having a long rest should patch them up.

That being said, the group dispersed and went to their own homes, of course Luna went with Raven since the latter was really weak.

”Must you really push yourself this hard? You could've done that tomorrow after you rested.” Luna complained as the two travelled back to Raven's home.

”I can't.” Raven smiled helplessly, ”I had to fuse them today or else they will disappear from your hands and reappear somewhere in the kingdom. There will Danger Zones once again, I can't let that happen.”

'Who am I to doubt him?' Luna sighed in defeat and just silently went with Raven to his home.

Raven wasn't really living with his parents anymore since his mom and sisters were staying at his dad's office so that Luis could monitor them closely. Raven bought a piece of land for himself and lived there after their graduation from the Inner Court. He was just visiting his Dad's office whenever he's free to play his sisters.

After they went home, the two took a quick bath and ate some meal. Luna then urged Raven to sleep on his bed, she was planning on returning to the palace when Raven unexpectedly pulled her and wrapped her in a tight hug.

Luna panicked and tried to push him away but Raven's hug was just too strong for her, it also didn't help that there was a mischievous smile on his face as he was doing so.

”Let's sleep together.”

Luna gasped in horror. Her heart pounded inside her chest as she hit Raven's chest in embarrassment.

”What are you saying?”

”What do you mean?” Raven raised his brow and flashed a playful smirk. ”I meant what I said. Let's sleep together. You're tired as well right? Let's sleep.”

Luna was speechless, she pinched Raven's arm as she realized that he was teasing her again. Raven laughed and gently wrapped Luna in his embrace.

”We will just sleep okay? Relax. Let's rest.”
