Chapter 13: My Journey Starts Here (2/2)

There was also another way, and that was to use the Golden Monolith. But one was only allowed a limited time, and there would be a long queue as well.

Mei smiled, ”So what? I have been saving all these years to buy one of these just in case you need it one day. These cubes are very rare, and it's tough to find one in the market. So, I bought it before it went out of stock. And fortunately, a miracle happened, and this cube would be very useful for you now.”

Unknowingly, Arion's eyes glistened as he felt a warmth spreading through his chest. He didn't know whether this was his feeling or because of his memories of Mei. He was sure of one thing—she definitely cared for him more than he could imagine.

”Sister Mei...but all your savings…” Thinking about the money she had earned all these years, it was surely not a small sum since she had treated lots of people, even some rich ones.

But instead of using that money, she spent it all on a small cube.

Mei saw through his worries and said with an entrancing smile, ”Silly boy, I don't have anything to spend on using the money I earned. So, instead of simply storing all this money, it was worth it to buy this one. Now, take this and achieve your dreams. I am confident that you can do it.”

Saying so, Mei forced the cube into Arion's hand, making him look at the cube with a complicated light.

But then his fist tightened over it as he felt that he shouldn't let Mei's efforts go to waste and make good use of it and finally set on his path to becoming a Defier.

”Don't worry, Sister Mei. I will become a Defier and one day, a Dreadslayer!” Arion said as he exuded calm and focus.

Mei smiled and kissed his cheeks as she said, ”I know you will. But take it easy, don't rush into anything. Simple steps make one reach the heavens.”

”Yeah, I know that saying,” Arion chuckled with a slight head shake.

”I will then leave you to it. Remember, what you are going to do is cleansing the whole body and attuning yourself with Prana. So, make sure you do it properly as I had taught you before. And no need to skip lunch even if you are undergoing the Purification process. You already look thin, and you can continue it later,” Mei said as she stepped out of the room.

”Sister Mei, you always feed me too much. Trust me, once my body recovers, it wouldn't be a problem,” Arion chuckled.

Mei shook her head with a smile and closed the door, leaving Arion alone in the room with the Purification Cube in his hand.

”Phew, finally...this is where my true journey starts…” Arion mumbled as he held the Purification Cube with both his hands and started to link with the Prana contained inside the cube.
