87. First Meeting With Nfirea

Throwing these thoughts out of his mind, Neo looked at Morgan.

"How is the fusion skill going on?"

"This... I think there is something different from before."

Even though she stuttered a little bit, Neo was surprised to hear this.

"Tell me the details."

"First, the fusion was for a second, but as I used it more, just as you told me. I could now stay in a fusion state for many hours, but the difference is.

now it's not like before, one mind and one body. Now sometimes I act like Morgan from a different universe, and sometimes it becomes from the original universe."

Neo thought about it for a moment and said,

"I think the process of merging has already begun. Right now, it is trying to decide who to erase, and because of fusion, this has become a little harder for it.

So don't worry, at the end of the process, both of you will be fine."

Even though Neo tried to smile to ease their worry, his facial expression didn't change a bit. And Neo really wanted to crack his own mouth open.

After finishing talking and seeing that none of his friends are coming out anytime soon, he left Alfa and went back to the new world.

Inside the great tomb of Nazarick, it was silent at the moment, and only Aura and a few others remained.

Sitting on a throne, Neo started thinking about his next move about a month later.

As much as I knew about this world, it is already in the process of being acquired by me. As for others, I have no idea who they are and how strong they are.

"If only I could get the whole map of this world. I should have asked Alfa, maybe it would be easy for her," Neo thought.

But Neo didn't go right away. Instead, he walked toward the arena where Aura currently is.

A few minutes later, Neo was standing in the arena, and not long after, Aura also came and greeted him.

"Aura, do you want to go to the forest for a stroll?"

"But Neo-sama, what about the Tomb of Nazarick? Right now, there is only me here."

Understanding her difficulty, Neo said without care,

"Don't worry, nobody would come here. Right now, they have their own problems to solve."

Aura thought about Demiurge and suddenly understood.

"Ok, Neo-sama, when do you want to depart for the forest?"

"Right now, of course." Saying that, he started walking forward.

As for Aura, she was stunned for a while but still followed behind him.

To go to the forest, Neo remembered that he had to pass by Carne Village.

This time he didn't use teleportation because there was no point. There is a lot of time before his subordinates finished with their work. So going while sightseeing is a good choice.

After an hour or so, they finally arrived at Carne Village but didn't stay there and directly went toward the forest.

Along the way, Aura was behaving differently than usual, but when Neo asked, she just shook her head. So Neo also didn't further ask.

As they were about to reach the forest, they saw some silhouettes up ahead.

But when they arrived close to them, Neo already knew who they were. Enri, whose life Neo saved, and the others were Nfirea and Momon's adventure team from the anime.

Neo couldn't help but marvel at the maker of destiny. No matter how much you avoid, you will find yourself right there.

Seeing a skeleton-like monster coming toward them, they took a fighting stance and were ready to fight any time.

But Enri quickly recognized him and started shouting.

"Wait, wait, he is not a bad guy. Stop. Nfirea, tell them to stop."

"Why, Enri, do you know him? He doesn't look like a good guy."

Frustrated, Enri said, "He is the one who saved me and Carne Village. It's all thanks to him that we are still alive."

Nfirea was momentarily stunned and stayed silent for a minute. Enri is growing anxious , not for Neo but for a her good friend. She doesn't know why but she thinks Nfirea wouldn't be his match in a fight.

As all of them were tense, suddenly a voice reached their ears.

"You seem to be doing fine, I think," Neo said to Enri.

"Nice to... meet... you, sir." Neo just nodded to her greeting and looked toward the others.

"Are they your friends? Not so welcoming, I think."

"No, no, please don't misunderstand them, they just never seen someone like..."

"Monster, you mean to say." Enri was a little scared but heard Neo's voice again.

"Don't worry, I wouldn't harm them. If they behave themselves, that is."

Finished saying, Neo started walking toward the forest, and just as he stepped inside the forest, Nfirea's voice sounded from behind him.

"Wait."

Neo's footsteps halted, then he turned around to look at Nfirea, who was walking toward him slowly.

When he was one meter away from him, he suddenly bowed his head.

"Thank you for saving Carne Village and Enri. I know I can't repay you with anything, but if you need me for anything in the future, just let me know."

Seeing his attitude, Neo had a good impression of him.

"Don't worry, I was just in the right place at the right time. If my timing would have been different, then even I wouldn't have been able to save them. So you can say this is fate," saying this, Neo disappeared into the forest.

Enri came to Nfirea, who was looking at the place where Neo disappeared, and said,

"Isn't he a little different?"

Nfirea came back to his senses and nodded. "Yes, he is. But I wonder who he is and where he comes from."

"Does it really matter? If he's a good person, then it doesn't change anything where he comes from."

Nfirea looked at Enri and nodded. "You are talking like a sage now."

"By the way, can you remember which type of magic he used at that time?"

Enri thought for a moment and said, "I think it was lightning magic."

"Lightning, huh... Did he chant something during the spell casting?"

"He did cast something, but it also seemed different somehow."

"Ohh... then I think he is a 3rd-tier mage."
