Remaining Behind
Many problems appeared with the settlement of the Second Breath.
Fortunately, the others had become strong enough to make Rex deem them suitable to be on the field without needing his presence. Adhara had successfully turned her mana into arcane mana, Kyran, had become stronger from his visit to Iseldra's realm, Flunra had reached a new realm of runic understanding, and even Gistella was now able to keep up with her evolution.
Rex has a reason to limit them from going out before.
But now, the reason was gone.
All of them were capable enough to defend themselves.
He needed to let them venture on their own to be actual powerhouses.
Due to that, he gave them the tasks that he would normally do himself.
In exchange, he remained back in the city.
It was his first time to be in the city while the others were outside, and it felt weird.
For some reason, he felt restless and uneasy all the time.
