FORTY

"Daya?"-Demetri

"Kharis?"-Daya

I was still shock to see Daya awake. Daya was about to approach me when she collapses on the ground, I'm glad that I was quick and I was able to catch her.

"I'll get her some clothes, Stephan help Demetri out"-Alice

Alice said then walk out of the room to get Daya some clothes because she was naked. I carry Daya out of the room and bring her to Diana's room to lay her. Stephan volunteered to clean the mess in my room. While waiting for Alice. I examined Daya to see if everything was okay and I am glad that everything is okay.

"Demetri, you can leave for a moment, I'll help her get dressed"-Alice

"Thank's Alice, call out if she wakes up again"-Demetri.

Alice nodded. I went back to my room to see how is Stephan doing, he was still cleaning up the rubble.

"Stephan let me, restore!"-Demetri

After casting those words, everything in my room was restored to its original state.

"That's cool magic Demetri"-Stephan

"Thanks, Stephan, how is your training with Kalesi?"-Demetri.

"It was actually great, my stats grew so much since we started training and he taught me a lot of things"-Stephan

"I am glad to hear that"-Demetri.

We continue conversing until we heard Alice screaming.

"DEMETRI! STEPHAN! COME QUICK, ESPECIALLY YOU DEMETRI, I DON'T WANNA DIE YET!"-Alice

We go to Diana's room as fast as we can and saw Alice on the ground, protecting herself with a barrier from Daya's attack seeing the barrier, it will destroyed any minute now.

"Daya!"-Demetri.

I call out for Daya's name to get her attention and give Alice a chance to get out of the situation. I also tell Stephan to help Alice get out of the scene. When Alice manages to get out of Daya's range, I told them to stay in their rooms for a while, while I'm calming Daya down.

"Kharis, where are we? what is happening?"-Daya.

I guide Daya to the bed and we sit down.

"Daya, calm down, you are safe now, we are at my home"-Demetri.

"This is not your home, it's very different from your cave"-Daya.

"This is my new home, how are you feeling?"-Demetri.

"I am fine, just feeling a little dizzy and fatigued"-Daya

"What is the last thing you remember?"-Demetri.

"I remember us fighting in a weird place, I was stopping myself from hurting you but my body won't listen to me like it has a mind of its own, and I was always surrounded by black and red miasma, I also was taking orders from darkness fragment like I was under its rule, not just me, the others were there too"-Daya.

"The others? Is Aiya there too?"-Demetri.

"Yes, she is"-Daya

"Is she okay?"-Demetri.

"I can guarantee you she is alive Demetri but I don't know if she is okay"-Daya.

I feel my heart breaking hearing what Daya said. I can only hope now that Aiya is okay. We hear a knock on the door and Alice and Stephan are outside the door carrying a tray of food and water. I took the tray from them and thank them and then they return to the living room.

"Who are they?"-Daya.

"They are my friends"-Demetri.

"Oh, I shall offer my apologies to that woman later for what I have done"-Daya.

"You really should, you almost killed her, she helped a lot in getting you better you know"-Demetri.

"What is happening exactly? where are we? this place is very unfamiliar, very new and different"-Daya.

I was about to answer Daya when Kaya called out for me.

"Boss, Kalesi is requesting for him to meet his queen"-Kaya

Okay, Kaya, I'll call him out, thanks.

"Daya, someone wants to meet you"-Demetri.

I call for Kalesi out and he was very happy to see his queen, Daya, alive and well.

"My queen!"-Kalesi

"Kalesi! I am so glad to see you again, how are you here? the last time I saw you was in our kingdom before I went to battle"-Daya

"I am glad to see you too my queen"-Kalesi.

Kalesi reaches out for Daya's hand and he kisses it as a sign of respect.

"I'll leave you two for now, Kalesi, take care of Daya, I'll assign you as her guard from this moment, you protect her before, I know, you can protect her now"-Demetri.

"Yes, I will"-Kalesi.

"So you made my right hand you soul summon ha?"-Daya

"He's too strong to be left dead"-Demetri.

"No hard feelings, Kharis, I am actually grateful that you did that, I am very happy to see him again"-Daya

I smiled at her and leave the room. I walk downstairs to the living room, but I do not see Stephan and Alice there, they might be sleeping already. I stayed there waiting for Evienne to come back home.

Wait, this is the first time I heard Kalesi speak, no, this is the first I ever heard a soul summon speak, did something happen?

"Boss, that happened because of your absorption of phoenix feathers"-Kaya

It did something like that?

"Yes, it's like an additional effect of the absorption, it's not just that, your stats increased also, you got stronger by more than a hundred percent"-Kaya

It really did that? That's actually pretty amazing, I really should check everything from now and then. I've been so busy that I don't have time to check these things, anything else?

"You are also not far in reaching tier 8"-Kaya

Tier 8? Wow, that is just, really amazing. I am only a few steps away from being back to my old strength and power.

"But, it will not be easy to reach tier 8"-Kaya

I am sure it will not, thank you for the information Kaya, you really are the best.

"Sure thing boss"-Kaya

Kaya, before I forgot to tell you, again, your body is almost ready.

"Really? I can't wait to see and use it"-Kaya.

Can't wait to see you too, Kaya, face to face.

I heard a knock on the door and it was Chairman and Evienne, seeing the aura around these two and the glow, I can say they have a very good time.

"Thank you David for the night"-Evienne.

"You're very welcome Evienne, I'll see you around"-David.

"See you around"-Evienne.

"Good night Chairman, have a safe trip home"-Demetri.

I close the door and walk behind Evienne following her.

"It seems that your monarch friend is awake, how is she?"-Evienne.

"She is doing well, let's talk about your date, how was it? You two are glowing"-Demetri.

"It was very nice and he make me so special"-Evienne.

"I am very happy to see that you enjoyed the night, I am sure there is a next time?"-Demetri.

"There will be"-Evienne.

Evienne smiled at me and go to her room.
