Chapter 276 - Coming Back Home (2/2)

Knowing very well that Argentum could easily become a powerful being in just a short amount of time, Eleanor hastily replied in her mind, saying, ”Alright, alright! I'll increase your control to 50%. Will that make you happy?”

In response, the familiar voice spoke in a cheerful tone as it replied, ”Yeah, that definitely makes me happy. Thanks, Eleanor.”

After that, the four of them went ahead and bade farewell to each other, with Argentum being the first one to exit the Grand Blue Inheritance, leaving the three to their own devices.

Being greeted with the sight of Water energy particles everywhere, Argentum went ahead and took in a deep breath of the air in the surroundings, feeling that if he just attuned his body's energy for just a second, he would become one with the surroundings. Nevertheless, he only savored the feeling for a short moment before going ahead and commanding the system to open up a map of the continent. After setting up a route on the map that would allow him to reach his desired place in the shortest amount of time, Argentum went ahead and activated all of his movement speed boosting buffs.

”[Zephyr Tempest Brilliance++]!”

”[Grand Azure Transformation++]!”

”[Higher Zephyr Magic: Zephyr Burst]!”

”…”

”…”

”[Higher Zephyr Magic: Zephyr Magna Acceliaris]!”

Whoosh!

In an instant, the power surging throughout his body had increased by multiple notches, with most of it specifically aimed towards boosting his movement speed. Lightly stretching his body to acclimate himself to his newly obtained power while looking at the sun to check what time it currently was, Argentum eventually channeled all of the energy inside his body towards his feet, traversing a distance of over a couple hundred meters in less than an instant.

And just like that, Argentum had now set off to head back to Tempest Cliff, only taking a little bit over a week to fulfill all of the goals he had in mind.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Due to his stats being greatly boosted by his skills and spells, the number of breaks he had to take to replenish his stamina had been drastically reduced, allowing him to traverse almost twenty kilometers before running out of energy.

Nevertheless, while dashing his way back to Tempest Cliff, he could not help but feel that it would be better if Blob was beside him since that would allow him to focus on improving his skills while the gap between him and the place he had to go to would be shortened.

”Well, I could go back to doing that thing,” Argentum muttered to himself, recalling the start of his journey wherein he grinded his skills while heading towards the place he had in mind. After mulling over it for a bit, he concluded that it was better for him to not do so as his current skills were now more flashy than his previous ones to a greater degree. If an Animate even saw a small glimpse of such a spell, there was a likely chance that he would be captured and transformed into luxury goods.

After that, he then pondered as to whether or not Herellia and Horell, who both of which were close to Aurus, would recognize him. Fortunately, it did not take long for him to remember that he told his original body that he shouldn't be introduced just yet since he was weaker than his original body. With that in mind, he could not help but let out a slight snicker as he muttered to himself, ”I wonder who would him between me and the original body? Surely, I would gain the upper edge, right?”

Deciding that he would just introduce himself properly if they did not recognize him, he continued with his journey to heading back to Tempest Cliff.

Naturally, while he was doing just that, time passed. At first, it was only minutes that passed…then hours…then days.

It was only after three days, with the sun positioned right at the peak of the sky, did a change occur on Argentum's journey, with a familiar landscape coming into view thanks to Argentum's enhanced vision.

Noticing how the trees were structured peculiarly compared to the trees currently in the other parts of the surroundings, Argentum could not believe that he had already reached his destination. But then, he felt the harsh winds that blew throughout the trees, allowing him to recall the familiar feeling he felt while he was inside a familiar place.

At this point, an aura of extreme elation and happiness radiated from him as he felt like he could not hide his happiness. Taking in a deep breath before jumping for joy, he went ahead and shouted, ”Tempest Cliff!”

”I'm finally back!”
