Chapter 769 Four Pillars: A Brief Farewell
Unravel the Unknown, Unleash the Unimaginable: N♡vεlB¡n.
?After Nila had officially announced the end of their fight, the two of them gave themselves the freedom to get the rest they sorely needed as they proceeded to talk about various topics.
Whether it was on blacksmithing, the various class ranks, or the current state of Veldanyr, the two of them undoubtedly talked about it, gradually forgetting the fact that the two of them were even in the Gates of Awakening's trial grounds.
In fact, with how long their conversation had lasted after the fight, the young man began to look at Nila with a hint of curiosity.
"Are you not going to disappear anytime soon?" asked the young man, telling her about how all of the opponents he'd fought against earlier eventually dissipated into thin air at some point.
In response, Nila looked at the young man for a bit before chuckling.
"Well, if you want to move onto the next fight, then I could dissipate right here and now," said the woman, eliciting a bit of fear to appear on the edges of Valyr's face.
Though, that fear all disappeared once Nila looked at the young man with an amused smile as she sunk into the chair she had brought out.
"However, where's the fun in fighting opponents without being at your best condition?" Nila grinned. "Plus, it's quite interesting listening to the perspective of a blacksmith from a more recent generation."
"In any case, to ease your worries, all of the opponents you'll face within this final sub-trial have a say as to whether or not they dissipate to let you proceed onto your next fight."
"Since I've taken quite a bit of liking to you, then I'll help give you some more rest time before your next fight."
Hearing those words, Valyr gave Nila his words of gratitude, only to feel his ears heat up a bit after recalling the woman's final statement.
Seeing the slight redness on the young man's ears, Nila began to laugh, teasing the young man as they continued to talk and unwind.
At this point, thoughts of their respective identities had more or less disappeared from their mind, even though they knew that both of them would send waves to many people in the right places.
"Good." Nila nodded in satisfaction as she smiled. "Now the reason why I told you to keep this dagger is that it'll act as your compass for when you eventually travel beyond Veldanyr."
At those words, Valyr's mouth went slightly agape, only now understanding why she was excited for the time he had accomplished his goals of going to space.
After all, that meant that there was a chance for them to meet up in the outside world.
Seeing that the dagger was connected to it somehow, Valyr continued to listen to what the woman had to say, noticing that her rate of disappearance had visibly slowed down by a few degrees.
"I've decided to infuse a hint of my original energy into the dagger," Nila told him. "That energy will resonate with me once you've gotten close to my true body."
"Of course, once I feel this resonance, I would also get a rough idea as to where you are."
"In a way, don't you think it's quite romantic?" asked Nila with a chuckle, only for her rate of disappearance to reach ever greater heights in an instant.
Watching the woman who had given him more than what he had bargained for, Valyr felt a hint of sadness from seeing her disappear.
Though, before she truly left the young man's sight, she planted a kiss on his forehead out of nowhere, catching Valyr off guard.
"It may feel like this will be the last time we'll see each other, but I have a strong feeling you'll come eventually."
"For now... this is farewell."
