8 Chapter 07: Moving Forward

After few months.

Few months have passed and now it's time for me to go back .While I was in the Elf kingdom,I desperately tried to find the last and final rune .

With my increase in power the difficulty of relic tomb has also been increased.And now we have to encounter ferocious beasts ,but the thing that I have noticed is that now I donot meet any ascenders.My guess is ,It's because of the difficulty of the relic toomb that no one has able to reach the point where I have have .While I didn't found any relic but Instead I found a lot of treasures at the end of every challenge.Still I can only use the gold or antique I found to earn money because everything else is broken or overused weapons,acolayed,ether stones etc.

"Arthur are you ready to go"While I was lost in thought Varion called out to me .We where outside the castle ready to depart .Tessia,well ,she was obviously weeping like last time so I gave her a hug .In response she returned my hug but soon her face became red and she lunged out of my grasp.Everyone just gigped at her behaviour and said nothing

"Don't worry tess we will diffinetly see each other in few years"I patted her head while saying so.In response she just nodded.

"Now Arthur I think you should go now"Varion said .

"Bye Gramps,bye Tessia .See you guys soon"I said my final goodbyes to them and got into the carriage.

"Look whose here ,the human"It was Feyrith who replied to my entrance.

"Good to see you alive FeyFey"I replied Feyrith with a laugh.To which his whole face became red and he exclamed 

"You ,how do you know that name "Feyrith spoke with a loud voice .It was clear that he and I had never intracted that much and we were definitely not interested in each other that we will know each other's nickname.

"Well ….Let's say I heard it somewhere in the past"To my response Feyrith did nothing just stared at me like I was someone who have offened the gods.

While thinking that might not be totally false ,It won't be totally true either.

I reverted my gaze back to the window seeing the beautiful city for last time,at least for some years.

.......................

I reached a familiar door ,seeing it after ages made my heart contact with pain.I was excited to meet everyone,mostly my father.My father, Reynolds Leywin,died in mana beast attack ,while I considered Trodius to be it's reason ,I also consider myself to be it's part. I wasn't weak that time but still the enemy forces were so overwhelming that nothing could have been done .My motive to save everyone I hold dear was true and is true till this point but I have noticed something that for that I can't relly on others anymore I am dragged in this mess more than anyone and now that I have entered everyone surrounding me will be in danger and for that I need power ,power even stronger than the previous one I can't relly on my beast will and mana only I have to utilise everything I have in my arsnel,cause you know I have to kill the so called gods.

I knocked on the door but this time it wasn't my sister or the maid it was my father.Seeing his figure after all this time made tears to burst out of my eyes .He then saw me for a moment there was a confusion in his mind and why not I was so different than I should have been,but to my surprise he instantly hugged me and started to cry .

"Ar…Arthhh…Arthur….I..I knew you were alive"He said with a muffled voice .I was truly shocked that he recognised me even after all the changes in my body .

"I am back …..dad"I said while huging him and crying .We remained like that for sometime and then he took me inside where I met mom.She also recognised me instantly and hugged me .

After that came the Helstia's .My father and I and my mother explained everything to them while my little sister played with Sylvie ,I have already said Sylvie to not talk untill I say because I had planned to tell the truths with explosion.

We sat on a couch while my mother hugging me exactly how Ellie is hugging Sylvie.

'Now you know how it feels'

'Arhtur I didn't expected you to be a mama's boy'[Regis]

'Just shut up you two'

"So Arthur we got that you were in the Elf kingdom with the Royal family but what about your appearance .To me it's still shocking that you were at with Royals".    (-Reynolds)

"Well it changed when I assimilated for my beast will .".    -(arthur)

"B...Bb....Beast will .You have a beast will.". (Williston helstia)

"Yeah". (Arthur)

"Arthur how did you got a beast will.Was it the King of Elves who gave it to you for saving his daughter"My father asked me.While it was a very good lie and I could have used it,but I have decided to let them see all my powers.As it's necessary so that I can do things that they might not allow me and it's not like they won't notice it .

"When I fell from the edge I was by the a mana beast .She taught me how to control my mana and stuffs and gave me his will before dying .Sylvie is daughter of that mana beast."I replied .All the members then started to stare at Sylvie .I have planed to tell them about more like explain them about Sylvie after the duel but Sylvie had her own plan as she said

"YOU KNOW I FEEL awkward WHEN EVERYONE IS STARING AT ME "Sylvie replied .

Silence ,Complete dead silence no one said a word instead they just looked at me then at Sylvie then at me and then again at Sylvie and repeated it untill Sylvie hopped off from Ellie's grasp and tranformed into her orignal form .

"Arthur I think they need an explanation and It won't come from air ,you have to explain them."

At this point everyone had thier mouths wide open like they were seeing a dream while Ellie clapping her hand after seeing Sylvie's performance after sometime everyone stared at me ,Asking for an answer .While I looked at my dad and said 

"Dad why don't we have a duel ,I will explain everything after that.And I know you are dying to have a duel with me"

My dad looked me like I have stolen his words .

"That's my son.Lets go and yes don't forget to use the beast will of yours if you want to win ,I can't sense mana core from you so it shouldn't have developed property to be of any use untill now so you have to use everything you have"

My dad replied me with a smirk on his face .He was going to be surprised because it wasn't because I haven't developed my mana core bu instead it was because I was already past white stage.While he would have sensed that my mana core was higher than his ,but couldn't because of my breakthrough.

After months of training with the help of S class and A class beast cores,which Sylvie  graciously left for me after she had devoured like hundreds of it,I was able to see a change in my mana core .My mana core was now had a very faint aura around it is so small that it's barely noticeable but it is there,a faint light blue aura surrounding my white stage mana core .

I have discovered it recently so I don't know much about it but Some effects that it gives are 

Increase in mana pool.

2.Better mana efficiency

3.Hidding the entire presence of my mana core.

4.Better control elemental affinity.

Due to this I am able to control sound and Graving magic now but sound magic is still a little difficult for me as I have practiced it at all or rather I haven't thought about any gain in using it in fights.

I have also tested the third phase and after than Sylvie told me that there must be something beyond that .That it won't end like .In third phase I am able to   'INFLUENCE'.  aether and create small pocket dimensions, teleportation gate ,travel through space but I have gain any knowledge in aevum or vivum .And I can use god step to move through space so half of it cancels out.But still the teleportation portal is still very usefull, I have tried to make some portals to understand how it works but everytime it leads me to a different place .One time I tried to go in the beast glayeds but I entered Tessia's room and on top of that it was when she was changing ,I barely escaped with my life there. 

Finally we moved toward an open ground in the backyard.
