CHAPTER 345
A content smile crossed his mother's lips, a sigh of relief escaping her. "Perhaps this is a bit unambitious of me, but I wasn't looking to walk the path of ascension," She revealed. "My husband is dead, and my children are all grown up. Ascending to the first tier already gives me several more years to watch the two of you and see what you make of yourselves. I am more than content with this," She explained. Greg turned in his sister's direction, curious to see what her reaction to this unexpected turn of events would be. Unlike their mother who seemed to be at peace with the outcome, Greg could see a conflicted look in her eyes. Perhaps it was a function of the fact that she was still young, but the idea of being stuck in place for the rest of her life clearly didn't sit well with her. "Well, I certainly hope that it's the latter case. It'd be a shame to step on a path just to realize you can't walk it" She quietly confessed. Greg wasn't sure what to say to her. Instinctively, h
CHAPTER 344
Greg couldn't help the sudden burst of relief he felt as he turned in his mother's direction. Even greater than the anticipation that something unique might happen with her awakening, had been the fear that something would go wrong. He, after all, hadn't been present during his teacher's awakening owing to his yearlong seclusion. The fact that nothing extraordinary happened didn't even remotely bother Greg. Everything had worked out well and to Greg that was by far the best outcome. A part of him, also, was thankful toward Tayani for the distraction as he too had been feeling quite nervous about the whole ordeal. Greg had only engaged her because he wanted to ease her worries by distracting her from them. In the process, however, he too had been distracted and felt a lot less worried. His mother's eyes opened and a smile graced her lips as she looked from the healer to her son. There was nothing outwardly different about her. Through his sense for Mana, however, Greg could feel the
CHAPTER 343
Greg could almost feel his guts twist with guilt, especially at how genuine the sentiment seemed to be. Back when he took his mother and sister out of the town, it hadn't been for anything as benign as taking them to see the world. Despite doing everything in their power to wipe every trace that they'd ever been in that town, some small part of Greg had known that it was doomed. Of course, there was no way he could have been certain one way or the other. The fact that he wasn't willing to leave his direct family members back there, however, was all but a confession that a part of him had known what would be the ultimate end of everyone he left behind. Not letting any of his conflicted feelings show, Greg just smiled and replied. "Why not a space mage? It would seem to me that they have more mobility than an air mage," he voiced his opinion on the choice. Tayani just rolled her eyes in answer. "I said I want to explore the world, not just jump between places I already know," she an
CHAPTER 342
His hands felt clammy and his heart was racing. Despite this, Greg maintained a calm demeanor even as he looked on at his mom sitting cross-legged in the middle of the crystalline sigil. A part of him knew that the feeling was irrational. Unless his mother was linked to a hidden deity they'd all been unaware of so far, her ascension to the first tier would be nowhere near as dramatic as Greg's had been. Still, the rest of him couldn't help but fear all the same. His ascension had almost gone horribly wrong due to danger he couldn't have seen or predicted. Given the fact that they were in a city deep in the middle of a black zone, who's to say that something equally strange or unexpected couldn't happen? A hand clenched tightly around his bicep and Greg couldn't help but turn his gaze to his sister who was unconsciously clinging to him for support. Unlike him, she didn't hide any of her nervousness behind a veneer of calm. But unlike Greg's fear, her nervousness didn't stem from the f
CHAPTER 341
WELCOME TO THE SIXTH SCHOOL! NAME: Roka. RANK: Acolyte Of Lust (71/100). MAGIC POINTS: 836.9M. LUST POINTS: 38.4M. ------ Greg had to fight the urge to smile like a maniac as he looked at the numbers on the first page of the system. In total Greg had only spent around ten or so minutes over the underground mana lake. In that time, Morpheus had been stretching and distorting space around him such that the mana didn't suffocate, let alone kill him the way it would have were he not protected. In fact, it's only toward the end of the ten-minute visit that Greg started to feel the mana levels climbing a bit. By this time, Mage Ethia was already looking pale and a bit sickly. Whether it was her high-tier or some other item that was allowing her to be steeped in such thick ambient mana, it seemed to be reaching its limit. Consequently, they didn't linger any longer. Greg was glad he hadn't looked at his system while they were down there. Ten minutes is all it had taken for him
CHAPTER 340
There was clear surprise on both Athalia's and Captain Tharion's faces at the sudden secrecy. However, it wasn't Athalia who spoke up first. "Does this have to do with the deities?" The captain immediately asked, clear trepidation in his voice. Greg's gaze drifted to the side as he considered the question for a second. "Only tangentially" He finally answered. The black zone was left behind by a deity's involvement. That much the captain already knew. But that the black zone had been gathering Mana for the past one thousand years, he didn't know. The mana containment was done by the world serpent and the plan to make full use of it before it turned into a mana storm was by Morpheus. Each held a small corner of the tapestry of the secret he was about to reveal but none were truly at the center of it. That a mana storm would snuff out their existence if their plan failed wasn't a core secret of any of the three beings. Greg expected his answer to come as a relief to the man. However, f
