Chapter 227: Illusion Eye (1/2)
When Jayna realized that what she opened was the call from me, her sleepy face was instantly refreshed. The glimmer in her eyes eclipsed the lamp next to her bed. Afterwards, she looked down at what she's wearing and upon seeing how thin it was she bashfully picked up her quilt to cover her alluring figure.
”Daisuke... I-it's fine to cover myself like this, right?”
Well, I already saw it in full view and was already satisfied.
”It's fine, I'll be able to see that better when I got you by my side again.”
”This… you've become shameless, Daisuke.”
Jayna visibly blushed and despite her words, she looked more happy hearing those from me. Now, I miss our days together in the World of Spirits.
”I'm just being honest, Jayna. Anyway, anything new there?”
”Un. I'm about to create my second Sea. After that, I will also be able to call the Door of Transcendence.”
Jayna excitedly reported with a huge grin on her face.
Finally, it will not just be Yuko, Yumiko and Nysia. I'm going to check on Zerina tomorrow, and maybe she'll also tell me the same news.
All that's left will be Avelin and Erin. Their status listed on the system already showed that they had reached Rank 5 Mortal which they confirmed last night, a little more and they would also reach the threshold. With how chaotic the World of Barbarian will be, it will be a matter of the number of battles they will have to face.
”That's splendid news. I'm glad. I'll be sending my Incarnation there soon. I'm going to help you root out the Dark Elves and close the Portal connected to the Dark World. That way you two can go with me here.”
Though I am quite tempted to enter that Portal if we ever find it, I will not risk facing the Great Ones when I'm still this weak and going in alone will be stupid. However, I knew that sooner or later, we need to go to a higher world to speed up our progress, especially if they begin to tread their Transcendent Pathways.
”Really? We can go with you?”
”If my guess is correct, yes. After becoming a Transcendent, you'll be able to come back with Yumiko to our world.”
”Then I'll start breaking through! I'll call Yumiko!”
Jayna excitedly dashed out of her room, forgetting her current attire that was bundled in her quilt. She also forgot that the screen would go with her and would not be stationary, letting me see how she happily hopped towards the next room.
Well, seeing her this happy made me strengthen my hope for that guess to be correct. As long as the threat in their world was eradicated, there's no need for a Hero anymore, right? Going by the same narrative, a Transcendent could then freely do what they wanted to whether leaving their world or staying there.
The World's Will won't be able to bind her to that world anymore as she already left its influence by passing the Transcendent Trials.
Nysia will be able to do that too, however, the threat there is bigger than the three smaller worlds. Even if there's no Transcendent enemy there as of this moment, the resources the Dark World managed to leech off the Three Factions before were used to strengthen their stronghold at the World of Meta's moon.
When Jayna entered Yumiko's room, I was once again treated to eye candy. Yumiko was also wearing thin sleepwear which could only be called sexy. Seeing it reminded me of that night we shared before I went to the World of Meta and it once again further strengthened my desire to be with them.
After telling her my plans of sending the Incarnation there to help her and some of the things I want them to know such as my current state and how I am pursuing Fleur, the duration of the call ended.
To end my night, I started another session of 6 hours of Energy Absorption. Like them, I'm not slacking off at cultivation. My Adaptability was progressing too slowly now. Even when I'm already using it as much as possible, getting 1% feels like forever.
I'm probably at the same point when the other Heroes experienced the snail's pace rate of improvement, which discouraged them to continue training their Abilities.
Either way, I won't be discouraged like them. I'm expecting great things once my Adaptability reaches Level 3.

”You called for me, instructor?”
Boris asked. He had just been sent away by one of my clones which ended his turn.
We're back at the training grounds and I once again put them in training with my clones. Those who are free were either absorbing Elemental Energy inside the Energy Zone I conjured or training inside the Virtual Space.
Like I thought, the Noxian Transcendents chose not to attack the city. I was already prepared to coordinate with both Arland and Fleur to kill the two here if they ever showed up. They still had their reasons, eh?
”I told you not to call me instructor. Anyway, can you tell me what Ability you awakened?”
”Of course! The Old Man told me you'll ask me about it, but just a heads up, it's not a useful ability. I'm more inclined to use my Elemental Spells than it.”
