Chapter 378: Eavesdropping (2/2)

After that brief video call session with his father, the descendant seemed to have entered a deep contemplation.

Under our eyes, he suddenly lied down on his bed and started flailing on it like a child having a tantrum while cursing his subordinates, the barbarians and eventually his father.

Such an unfilial son.

”Is he a kid?” Irja couldn't help but ask.

I only smiled at it before leaving that descendant alone to check on the things in his room.

Fortunately, before the 10 minutes of Aura of Concealment ended, the descendant stood up from his bed and put on another composed exposure before leaving his tent, disabling the Energy Screens he put up.

Leaving the enemy camp, we went back to the Heavenly Lightning Tribe's camp.

The army reorganization was still ongoing. With the new King Realms, the five Generals started appointing them men under their command and in turn, those new King Realms will appoint the new Saint Realms until they reached the lowest-ranked Mortal Realms.

At this point, Raiden and Old Man Reol finally finished their absorbing session.

Although Raiden was yet to breakthrough, his UPL increased for a bit.

On the other hand, Old Man Reol looked at me with gratitude. He couldn't just utter it since it hasn't been that long when I'm the one looking up to him.

So to ease the Old Man from unnecessary thoughts, I opened the conversation.

”How is it, Old Man? Are you about to become a Transcendent?”

Upon hearing that, not only Raiden but even the surrounding King Realm Generals perked up their ears.

Apart from Raiden and my two Barbarian Companions, no other Transcendents appeared in this world. Now, the legendary Old Man Reol was finally going to reach it.

”Haa… How have the times changed? It seems that I cannot hide it from you. Indeed. Thanks to the stone you gave me, I can finally feel the ceiling. I can now summon the Door of Transcendence.” Old Man Reol deeply sighed and looked up as if he's reminiscing about his younger days.

”Well then, what are you waiting for? Erin will surely be overjoyed when she arrives here.”

”That child… She uselessly felt guilty when she became a Transcendent. I will give her an earful once I finally become one.”

”Well, although she's somewhat rough and headstrong, she's a good girl. Thank you for introducing her to me, Old Man.”

”You! I initially don't think you will be able to… Haa… Nevermind. That child is already a grown-up. And you're with her. I can rest assured that she will not be mistreated.”

”Of course, we'll give you little great-grandchildren in the future so live longer. In any case, stop dilly-dallying Old Man. They're all waiting for you.” I pointed behind me and every member of Tribe all had excited looks on their faces.

Perhaps they rejoiced when Raiden, their Chieftain, became Transcendent but this Old Man is a living legend. A lot of them looked up to him and he's a native, unlike the Chieftain. Erin and Avelin's Transcendence also didn't count since they're now part of the Whiteshade Division. Although it's supposed to be under their tribe, it's now acting independently.

After looking at their faces, Old Man Reol finally resolved himself. He also looked at Raiden who wordlessly nodded at him. That guy, my first impression of him was bad and he surely still has that habit of being bloodthirsty but he had a good head on his shoulder and he's not mistreating his loyal subordinates.

Even though he's always sending them to battle, he's always at the frontlines, leading them. Unlike me who's always at the rear, acting sneaky.

Whooosh!

When the Old Man's Brute Energy gathered from his palms, He raised his arms and a thick pillar of light rose. Once it reached a certain height,the illusory Door of Transcendence materialized up above, starting the three-day countdown for his Transcendent Trials.

At the same time, Yuko and the others finally arrived, behind them, the Whiteshade Division could be seen marching from a distance led by Ophelia.

When Erin landed on the ground, she immediately ran towards her grandfather, more excited than the Old Man. ”Finally! I don't need to tend to your grave for a few hundred years! Live longer, Old Man!”

This girl...
