Chapter 364: Leaving the Dimensional Space (1/2)

Back at the frontlines of the Dimensional Space, Remilia still had nothing to do.

Apart from joining the boring meetings wherein the members of the Dafirae Tribe still couldn't find a correct approach, her days were spent honing her skills.

Whenever possible, she would stand up at the forefront like a Field Marshall, watching over the battlefield of Rank 2 Transcendents and some Exalted while eyeing the enemy general.

If the other side was also as bored as her, one of their Rank 4 Transcendent would go out and engage her in a battle that could be taken as a spar.

Of course, it's a serious spar. If one became careless, their opponent would take that chance to injure the other mercilessly. One injured Rank 4 Transcendent was an advantage after all.

There was already one instance like that. Against one of the lecherous Rank 4 Transcendent of the enemy. Because he had the gall to focus on touching her body whenever they would clash rather than actually sparring with her, her blade cut off two of his fingers when she saw the chance.

When that happened, the Rank 4 Transcendent lunged at her with more ferocity than ever, dropping the somewhat gentlemanly way of talking to her as he tried to get back at her.

However, with how angry he became, more opening in his defenses was exploited by Remilia.

If not for his colleague intervening on his behalf, he would not only lose those two fingers but also a huge hole on his neck.

”Remilia, today's the day I'm going back to my world. Stay alive so I can take your hand when I return.”

While she's passing the time inside the room cleaned up for her, the audacious guy's voice entered her mind.

'This Daisuke... Using my crystal to say something useless again.'

Although she said that, she immediately went out of her room and stared towards the direction of the entrance to this Dimensional Space.

After leaving a telepathic message to the Oxflame Monarch, Remilia's energy coagulated and became a blade beneath her feet, launching her from roof to roof.

Because of the restriction to fly, she's using her conjured blades as a foothold before launching them forward, saving her the time to run.

In less than 15 minutes, she reached her destination. On top of the highest ruins, overlooking the entrance and exit to this Dimensional Space.

It didn't take long for her to see the audacious guy's visage, following a crimson-garbed Exalted of the Dafirae Tribe and walking alongside a woman in a purple witch-like outfit.

Upon seeing that, she clicked her tongue and sent her reply to his message earlier. 'Don't ever come back again. If I see you, I will not hesitate to cut you down.'

That Remilia, why does her voice sound angry? The words I sent to her were a normal parting message, right?

Although I wanted to see her, I couldn't selfishly ask Alwyn or Irja to escort me there. Well, it's better this way, I still have close to zero chance of wooing her when I'm still 3 ranks behind her.

When I was still deliberating whether to reply or not, her voice entered my mind once again.

”If you return and look for me, make sure you have the strength to beat me”

”Of course, wait for me, Remilia.”

As soon as I replied, Remilia cut off the connection on her end. I could use the crystal again to reconnect it but that would just make her mad.

She always sounded cold but why is she angry this time?

Could it be?

I halted my steps and turned around, scanning everything in sight.

And there she was. Up above the tower-like structure of the first ruined fortress, Remilia was staring down at me.

When our gazes met, she turned her head sideways and jumped down from it, disappearing from my sight.

So that's the reason. She even went out of her way to see me off.In the end, I still got to see her one more time, thanks to her. Everything started by being caught by her.

Although that was under Worldy's order. It made me know more about that interesting Incarnation back in the World of Spirits.

Now, in less than two weeks of staying here, I benefited a lot.

I was made aware of the current situation and the known history of this world.

I found out that I'm connected not only to the World's Will but also to one of the revered Great Ones.

I met Alwyn and the other notable characters.

I managed to traverse one whole realm. I arrived in this world at the 5th Stage of the 3rd Realm. Now, I'm sitting at the 4th Stage of the 4th Realm of my Mortal Pathways and it's only a matter of time to reach the 5th Stage. I only needed to completely absorb the gathered energy on top of my head.
