Forest

The figure behind the trees was just as how Link had estimated. She was around five feet tall and was slim. There were a clean ponytail and a pair of pure eyes with complicated emotions in them. There was confusion but also the fatigue of having seen too much.

She wore simple leather armor. Its style and color were very strange. It didn’t look like the Firuman style or the Araguan style that Link had once experienced. There was a sword at her waist. The hilt was old, and the handguard had many small nicks.

Link had great vision. He could see instantly that the sword had gone through countless battles. The nicks had resulted from collisions with enemy weapons. He could see from the runes that this was the main weapon he’d once made for Nana—the Last Nightmare.

“Master,” the girl said while walking forward and lowering onto one knee before Link.

“Master?” Milose was very shocked. The change was a bit drastic, and he couldn’t process it.

Eliard recognized Nana and explained softly, “She’s Nana, the first Legendary Magician and had once killed a dark divine gear.”

“Ah.” Milose was even more shocked after hearing this name. Wasn’t Nana in the Aragu Realm? Why did she appear in Firuman?

Link ignored his surprise. Through his contract with Nana, he was sure that this was still his Nana. He walked up and hunched to help Nana up. “Why did you return?” he asked.

Nana rose and pouted in a human-like way. “Princess Milda knew about Ariel. In the end, she agreed to fuse the two realms. At the same time, she had sent two Tier-5…or Level-14 Inferno Warriors to the Isle of Dawn. She’s now the priestess of the Fire Sect and has many Inferno Warriors around her. She doesn’t need Nana’s protection anymore, so Nana came back.”

Her voice was still a bit mechanic, but it was very faint, and most people wouldn’t be able to tell. She didn’t look like a magic puppet at all.

Link looked at Nana’s arm and then the sword at her waist. His eyebrow quirked. “You’re hurt. Who injured your waist?”

Nana’s armor wasn’t damaged, but Link was extremely sensitive. He was also a martial artist himself. Especially after practicing the battle technique from Avatar, he became even more sensitive.

Link saw a flaw in the power circulation in Nana’s waist when she had knelt and later when he helped her up.

Nana lowered her head and didn’t speak.

Link didn’t need her to speak. Using his thoughts, pure Realm Essence surged and formed a dot of light in the air. It circled Nana. Three seconds later, it brought the information it gathered back to Link.

Now, he knew Nana’s situation. She was at the pinnacle of Level-13. This wasn’t very powerful in Aragu, but her power was very pure. It was only a bit weaker than Link’s Realm Essence.

The pureness meant high control. Nana’s battle techniques must be intimidating. However, there was a bit of foreign power at her waist.

“It’s a sword injury with a bit of Fire elemental power. It’s very powerful, at Level-19, but it’s faint. Did an Inferno Warrior of the Fire Sect hurt you?”

“Yes.” Nana nodded.

Link’s thoughts whirred; he’d guessed most of it.

“You and Milda had an argument… No, you wouldn’t do that. She didn’t want you to return, but she couldn’t convince you, so she sent people to kill you. Is that right?”

Nana’s expression turned a bit sad. She sighed and nodded lightly. “I can’t fool Master. She…she’s not like before. After 113 years, she’s completely into the Fire Sect now, becoming the ambassador of the god in the mortal world. She…is drunk on the ultimate power. She’s completely forgotten Master.”

“Oh.” Link nodded. This change was expected. If he left Celine for more than 100 years, he would probably forget her too, let alone Milda. This was how people were.

Since Milda was now the ambassador of the Fire Sect and had ruled it for more than a century, she must be a mature politician now. It would be laughable to talk about romance with someone like that.

It wasn’t hard to understand her actions towards Nana.

Thinking of this, Link asked, “You went between the realms. Did people pursue you here?”
