Chapter 280 - Reunion (2/2)

”May I enter the room?” Feeling that the current atmosphere was still awkward, Argentum went ahead and imitated the sound of one clearing their throat as he asked this question to both Fenrir and Charisa. In response, Charisa went ahead and said, ”It's your room, Master! You're always welcome to come in!”

”As I've said, I'm just his clone, but oh well,” Argentum could not help but say in response to Charisa's words before letting out a light chuckle. He then went ahead and entered the room, allowing him to finally see the other figures, that were talking a while ago, more clearly.

”Terrence, Marielle, Eu, Phoria,” Argentum went ahead and said the names of the other figures one by one as he focused his sense of vision on them for a bit. He then added in a happy tone, ”It's nice to see you again.”

”To think that it was actually Master's clone coming to greet us, what a surprise.” The first one to respond to his words was Terrence, letting out a loud laugh tinged with slight embarrassment.

”Just before you say anything, Master, let me apologize in advance, okay? Hehehe.” The next one to respond to his words was Eu, letting out a slightly embarrassed giggle as she apologized to Argentum.

”It's really good to see you again, Master.” The last one to respond was Phoria, radiating an aura of happiness as she felt that everything was back to normal.

As for Marielle, who was the humanoid that opened the entrance to the room, she felt incredibly ashamed that she was thinking of attacking their master, prompting her to look down at the floor as she radiated an aura of immense embarrassment. Looking at her for a bit, Argentum went ahead and relieved her embarrassment as he said, ”You don't have to think about it too much, Marielle. To be honest, that was something I should have expected when entering the room.”

In response, Marielle gradually looked up at Argentum before inwardly letting out a sigh of relief, though her expression gave it all away. She then said to Argentum as she took a deep breath, ”I apologize for my earlier actions, Master. I hope you can forgive me.”

”No worries. No worries,” Argentum said in response to her words before asking everyone, ”Anyways, how has everyone been while I was, in a sense, gone?”

”We've been improving all of our skills, Master,” Terrence responded to his question before adding, ”Thanks to Master's comprehension speed, all of us have already reached the peak of Transcendent level for our skills.”

”That's good to hear,” Argentum nodded as he said those words. He then pondered over something for a bit before soon asking them, ”Now that I think about it, what did you guys do after you were finished grinding your skills?”

”Sleep,” Fenrir said in response.

”Talked with Eu and Phoria,” Charisa said in response.

”Sleep beside Fenrir,” Terrence said in response.

”Polished my combat skills,” Marielle said in response.

”Did any of you get bored?” Argentum asked them after hearing their responses, only to hear the six simultaneously say, ”No.”

”I see. That's great,” he said not long after before letting out a light chuckle soon after. He then went ahead and focused his sense of vision to where Aurus was, which was at the center of the room. Currently, the body of Aurus was in its usual form, though it seemed that the details on his body had become a bit more exquisite. Not to mention that he was currently covered in a cocoon which took on a light green hue, supplying him with energy that seemed to enhance his aura.

As he looked at the state of his original body for a bit, a thought soon surfaced in his mind as an aura of solemnity surrounded him. Turning around, he then looked at the six and asked them, ”Is it fine if you guys leave me and your master alone for a bit?”

Surprisingly, the six unanimously replied that they were fine with that, unhesitatingly heading out of the room they were previously in as Argentum and Aurus were now left alone. As Argentum saw the six leave the room, he could not help but think that his original body's allies are truly loyal to him. Taking in a deep breath as he sorted out his thoughts, he then went ahead and poured out what was on his mind as he started to go on what seemed to be a monologue.

”It's been 10 days since I've left Tempest Cliff to go on a journey to become a Super Animate. Let me tell you that it was definitely a fun and interesting adventure. I had to undergo two inheritances before arriving at the final destination I had in mind. Surprisingly, I became partial owners of those two inheritances! Don't you think that's cool?”

”Other than that, my plan has been fully fulfilled. I've gotten the item that I needed from that town, and now I'm capitalizing on it to make sure that my strength grows at a decently fast pace. Then again, it's kind of saddening to think that you're still in the process of evolution. It feels kind of lonely.”

”But, of course, you've been through a longer period of loneliness than me, seeing as to how I've looked at your memories in the past. Er…surely you wouldn't berate me for doing that, right? Hahaha.”

”Anyways, you better make sure that you don't disappoint me with your evolution, okay? With you taking such a long time to evolve, I'd be mad if the evolution you chose is utter garbage.”

”Once you finish your evolution, make sure that the first thing you do is meet up with me, okay? I'll show you how strong I've gotten, and you'll show me how strong you've gotten. In other words, let's fight.”

”All in all…”

”I'll be waiting…”

”Okay?”
