Chapter 196: Clearing the West, South, and East! (Grand finale Part-a) (1/2)

[Congratulations! You've completed one of the few ongoing trials.]

[You've received the spatial coordination of the World of Sword and Magic!]

The document carrying the coordination on it appeared in his subspace just like always. With this in his hands, he now only needed a teleporter! Then going to a foreign planet would no longer be a pipe dream. Fulfilling his childhood dream was in his hand's reach. Elliot's eyes warmed up so much that they shed tears of joy. Thankfully, no one was looking at him at the moment, or he would've been embarrassed. He hurriedly wiped them away, saving himself from conspicuous gazes.

”We're done restoring our magic energy.”

Lucy, Oliver, and Arthur were brimming with strength. They were now no longer fools that needed Elliot's help to wipe their cracks but full-fledged magicians at the peak of the channel opening stage, able to crush boulders and smash trees.

”Giddy up!”

”Then, let's go,” Elliot said as he jumped on top of Grace, so did Lucy, both of them standing on one of her heads. On the other hand, the two magic knights sat uncomfortably on the back of the ferocious wolves.

”Giddy up!” Elliot said, patting Grace's head. Honestly, Grace would've thrown him away if he was someone else. She wasn't a horse, and his words undoubtedly came off as offensive. She was a serpent carrying the bloodline of the flood dragon. However, because she had cultivated good feelings for him and he was also patting her head lovingly, she let him go with a warning. Elliot vehemently apologized, saying that it was a slip of the tongue, that he was too excited, that he won't ever say that again, that she would never hear him say that again.

Grace accepted his heartfelt apology, and she also felt a bit embarrassed about how her master was apologizing to her. Sadly, scales covered her face and body, or else she would've turned red in different spots, making her look enchanting.

Lucy silently looked from the sides. Her eyes showed a thoughtful look. She was able to understand that Elliot had intentionally teased Grace to attract her intention. 'Was he romantically interested in her, a beast? Or was he just being playful?'

Grace was oblivious to Elliot's intentions. He, on the other hand, was unable to understand why he was trying to garner her attention. She was already a person working under him, but he was not satisfied with that. He wanted a deeper relationship with her. However, what was deeper than a lord and his knight or a master and his slave? It was love, a man and his wife! Was that what he wanted?!
