2025-11-16 20:57:12Ren observed the mana flow within Rhys's body and although he did not let any emotion appear on his face, he was secretly impressed by Rhys's post awakening mana flow.
It was unregulated and flowing haphazardly through his body, however, the flow seemed smooth and his body seemed naturally attuned to circulating mana which was rare in new awakeners.
"So, guildmaster, did you find any clues regarding my sister?" Rhys asked, as he looked towards Ren with hopeful eyes, however, Ren only grit his teeth and remained silent.
"To be honest Rhys, we have no credible leads.
Our top investigator Bo suspects that it's the work of Olympus agents, but we're not sure.
I've been personally looking for any clues that could help us find her for the past 20 hours, but it's a complete ghost job.
We have no hot trails.
We have no information about her condition.
We have no information on what the enemy wants from her.
The guild information agents have been notified within the tower and are actively trying to dig up information regarding this hit, however, it will take time….." Ren said begrudgingly as Rhys felt his hope being crushed.
"I will not leave any leaf unturned in my commitment to find her and even if we have to enter into a war with another tower faction over her. I will not hesitate.
We here at the White Tiger guild have a motto we live by, It's one for all and all for one'
Since Violet is one of us, we will never let her be harmed." Ren said as he expressed his genuine desire to locate and save Violet at any cost necessary.
"I understand guildmaster….. thank you for all your efforts." Rhys said with a deflated voice as he understood just how much Ren was doing for Violet, however, he was sad that it bore no tangible results.
"In your sister's absence, I feel responsible towards your upbringing and I'm putting Emma in-charge of you.
If I understand correctly, you still have to finish your normal high school which lasts till this March and only then shall you be allowed to enter the tower as per the association laws.
Am I right?" Ren asked as Rhys nodded in response.
Although he had been selected as a Ascender, according to association laws, nobody was granted a Ascenders permit without having at least a high school degree and hence it was mandatory for Rhys to finish school which ended in March.
"It's just three months, finish school and get your license, depending on what field you're talented in, the guild will then help you select an appropriate university within the tower.
Although we can't replace your sister, think of this guild as your extended family while she's not around.
We will be here for you." Ren said as Rhys felt moved by his words.
How could a man of his stature, who was so strong, also be so calm, reasonable and compassionate?
Rhys did not understand why teen girls fawned all over Ren in his school before, however, he understood why they did now.
Ren was just so charismatic that anyone would have a crush on him and today Rhys became a fanboy as well.
"Thank you guildmaster, I really appreciate your support.
If I can in any way help out with the investigation or anything else in general, please let me know." Rhys said as Ren nodded his head in approval.
Ren was glad that Rhys did not make unreasonable demands such as being put on the investigation team himself or throw a tantrum at the lack of progress.
He fully expected a guy his age to behave immaturely, but Rhys handled it really well.
As Rhys left the guildmaster cabin, he saw Lloyd loitering right outside, as once he saw Rhys he signaled him to come closer.
"What did the guildmaster say? Was there any progress in the investigation?"Lloyd asked in a hushed voice as he put his arm around Rhys's shoulder, however, Rhys felt really awkward as to why Lloyd was asking him this question when he was a part of the investigation unit himself.
"Nothing much" Rhys replied as at that moment Emma walked into the hall prompting Lloyd to release him.
"Take care boy. If you need anything, always know that Uncle Lloyd is here for you-"he said loudly as he patted twice on Rhys's back before nodding towards Emma and walking away.
Emma squinted her eyes monitoring the exchange but said nothing.
"Miss Emma, guildmaster told me that you will be taking care of me, I have no clue what that's supposed to mean" Rhys said when he saw Emma as the secretory let out a deep sigh.
"Rhys, don't ever tell anyone what the guildmaster tells you okay? Especially nothing about the case of your sister.
Just consider this topic to be sensitive and not to be discussed in public.
Also yes, I've been given additional duty of being your caretaker and I must warn you I'm a very disciplined aunt.
You will be temporarily living with me until your school ends and I will not let you slack off.
Whether it's studies, nutrition, sleep or fitness, I will expect you to perform adequately, you understand?" Emma said as she sternly looked towards Rhys.
"I understand…." Rhys replied as although he had a thousand different questions, he did not voice them at the moment since he did not wish to be an annoyance.

Chapter 222
Rhys returned to the university for nourishment of young talents and instantly caused a stir.Since Mama Chun and Baby Chun were not stored in his soul space and were rather roaming in the open, their sudden appearance in the university grounds took many by surprise.[ Ice Breath ]Almost as soon as Mama Chun appeared in the university in her massive polar bear form, a few clueless students tried to attack her thinking she was a rogue monster and were turned to ice statues instantly by Mama."Easy there Mama, don't kill them" Rhys pleaded as he stored Mama Chun in his soul space, while grabbing the small and cute Baby Chun in his arms."What is this place? Where are the trees?" Baby Chun asked, as it looked extremely surprised to see an area which was not a forest.Having been born in the origin realm 'Vorithra Slyithen', baby Chun had never seen the tower or the real world.For him, the entire universe was a forest and hence when he saw this new terrain for the first time, he felt ov
Chapter 221
Rhys stood in silent contemplation, weighing the pros and cons of each path and while the [Path of the Titan's Fury] was tempting, offering raw power that could easily crush his enemies, after a lot of contemplation Rhys decided that he needed to think beyond just raw strength and that he needed balance, strategy, and the potential for growth.Finally, after what felt like an eternity, he made his decision. He reached out and picked up the scrolls for the [Path of the Grand Sage] and the [Path of the Dragon Slayers] as he felt that the strategic wisdom of the Grand Sage combined with the evolving power of the Dragon Slayers would make him a formidable warrior, capable of adapting to any challenge.As he picked these two choices, Rhys looked at the third scroll, the [Path of the Titan's Fury], with a pang of regret.He knew it would have made him incredibly powerful, but he also knew that his choice needed to be more well-rounded and since he could only choose two, he had decided to ch
Chapter 220
Rhys stood in the feathery room, his eyes fixed on the five scrolls before him. Each scroll represented a unique path, each with its own advantages and challenges.While all five paths offered attractive choices, in the end he could only choose two of the five which was why he needed to choose very wisely.After thinking for a while, Rhys decided to make his decision by the process of elimination, as he eliminated the scrolls least suitable for him first, so that he could focus on the ones he really wanted with a clear mind.First, he considered the [Path of the Tempest Blade].The ability to harness the power of the wind, to strike swiftly and almost invisibly, was incredibly appealing. However, he knew that while he had decent agility, it wasn't his strongest suit.Relying on sheer speed and precision in combat wasn't his preferred style, if he had learnt anything after fighting Durban it was the fact that agility wasn't everything in swordsmanship as while Durban was nowhere near a
Chapter 219
While Rhys contemplated his choices for the sword path he was going to choose as his reward, two other massive upgrades were silently bestowed upon him, unbeknownst to him at the time.Firstly, his non-physical attributes were being enhanced in real time as his body's nervous system, including all the nerves and the synaptic connections in his brain, received a significant upgrade.While the first tier promotion test had improved his physique, muscle, and bone quality, the second tier promotion test focused on enhancing attributes such as Dexterity, Intelligence, and Stamina.Rhys could now perform precise movements with remarkable accuracy due to his enhanced nervous system.The improvement allowed his brain to send signals to his muscles more efficiently, enabling him to execute complex and delicate maneuvers with ease.Every motion, from the flick of his wrist to a full-body pivot, became more controlled and exact, giving him a crucial edge in battles where precision was paramount.
Chapter 218
Once Rhys defeated Durban, he felt his bloodlust not dying down at all as he could not calm down after that blood pumping fight that he just had.As if turning into a demon possessed, he looked for the next strong opponent that he could face to possibly continue feeling this rush of beating death, however, as he started to look for the next opponent, the ship and his surroundings began to fade away into small granules of dust as if they were never real matter and were just an illusion from the start.Soon, he returned to the fluffy feathery room where he once was, while the injuries that he suffered over his body during the fight against Durban began healing rapidly as if they were fake too.To him it felt like he had just cleared a game stage and he had been returned to the previous floor after the boss raid was over, However, this was the real world and not a game, which made the fight he experienced all the more bizarre."Was it all just an illusion?" Rhys asked the Griffin-Like cr
Chapter 217
Finally, as they reached the spot where Rhys wanted to lure him. Rhys cast a [Fire Wall], creating a blazing barrier that forced Durban to step back.The flames provided a brief respite, allowing Rhys to assess the final weak points of the last rope and the precise angle of the masts fall, as the plan he initially envisioned was finally nearing its conclusion."You think this fire will stop me?" Durban laughed, leaping through the flames with a predatory grin.Rhys retreated, his heart pounding as he guided Durban with every step, positioning him perfectly.With one final, desperate effort, Rhys slashed the last critical rope and cast [Wind Wall] to control the mast's collapse.The mast creaked and began to tip, its immense weight groaning against the weakened supports as it was at that moment that Durban's eyes widened as he realized what was happening, but it was already too late.The spot he was standing on was precisely the area where the mast was falling and he did not have the n
