As long as Izroth could find the correct ingredients, he was confident that the success rate of restoring Nomii's missing arm was 100%. However, he was unsure about the rarity or existence of the required ingredients in RML. And, if he needed to use substitute ingredients to replace those he could not find, it may lower the chances of his success.
Nevertheless, based on his previous efforts and experiences when it ca to crafting in RML, he understood that it was certainly a great possibility.
"Eighty percent? Are you certain?" Astratis inquired as his eyes widened in shock.
"If I can acquire the necessary materials and the conditions are right," Izroth replied calmly.
"If it is materials you need, then we can gather them imdiately!" Astratis said hurriedly.
The fact that Nomii lost her arm weighed heavily on Astratis' heart this entire ti. If it was possible to restore it, then he would do everything and anything in his power to make it happen!
"I can prepare a list, but..." Izroth set his gaze on Nomii, who seed to be in deep thought.
The next mont, the room fell quiet. Then, not too long after, Nomii broke the lingering silence.
"My answer does not change. Eight percent or eighty percent—it does not matter. If there is even the slightest chance of restoring my arm, then I am willing to bear the risks. Even if you fail, I will not hold it against you, youngest." Nomii stated with a look of clarity in her eyes.
Izroth gave a small nod and replied with a carefree smile, "Rest assured. I will put forth my best efforts."
Not only would restoring Nomii's arm deepen his relationship with the celestials but considering that she won against a pillar like her brothers, it was likely that her strength was equivalent to soone at the peak of the legendary realm. Or, at least, close to it. But, that was before she lost her arm.
If Izroth could restore Nomii's arm, then he would have another powerful legendary realm figure on his side. Why would he pass up such an opportunity?
After Nomii made her choice, Izroth went into a few details about the materials that would need to be gathered in order to restore her lost arm.
However, just as Izroth expected, the Ancient Celestial Realm did not have several of the ingredients he required.
Fortunately, based on the description of its potential effectiveness he gave, there were a few ingredients those present had co by in the Ancient Celestial Realm.
There were also so ingredients that Izroth knew of after reading about them in books from the Amaharpe Palace Library. But, knowing about them and acquiring them were two separate matters.
"I will ask around to see if others may have heard of and collected these ingredients you ntioned. I shall excuse myself." Eiritia said politely as she left the room.
Skos also took his leave after Izroth finished speaking. In fact, he was even one step faster than Eiritia in his departure.
"Then, I will also-" Astratis began to speak; however, he was promptly cut off.
"Have you already forgotten, my dear husband? You have a journey that you must prepare for. I am sure our youngest is eager to return ho. You must not beco a burden to him." Ierosni stated firmly with a frighteningly warm smile.
She then faced Izroth and bowed politely as she said, "Please, take care of my husband."
"I will not allow him to suffer. On this, you have my word." Izroth said with clear decisiveness.
"Then, I shall hold you to your word, youngest," Ierosni responded as a lovely smile blossod on her face.
"Wait, I'm the elder brother, right? Shouldn't I be the one taking care of our youngest?" Astratis comnted.
"You want to take care of others with your reckless nature? Look at our youngest. He is still young, yet carries himself well. Not only has he displayed his battle prowess, but his knowledge of herbs and the healing arts is exceptional. You must not let him be bullied, understand? Also, keep those 'snakes' away. Soone like our youngest, with just his strength and talent alone at such a young age, is bound to attract temptresses. Also..." Ierosni spoke without pause as she lectured Astratis.
'This new brother of mine... You sure have it rough.'
...
Later that day...
〈System Alert: Warning! The ?Secret Realm: Era of Titans? will close in [0 hour(s) 1 minute(s) 08 second(s)]! If you fail to reach the exit portal before ti expires, you will be unable to leave the Secret Realm!〉
'It should be sowhere around here.'
At the mont, Izroth, Sychia, Hakros, and Astratis were in front of a cave located several kiloters from the Celestial Abode. There were no signs of life present within the imdiate vicinity.
Once everything was settled at the Celestial Abode, Izroth, Sychia, and Hakros went out to further explore the Ancient Celestial Realm.
They ca across ancient beasts, both friendly and hostile. t wandering celestials. They even discovered a few more treasures. And, before they knew it, their ti in the Secret Realm had already approached its end.
"I have a big headache waiting for when we return." Sychia sighed.
Sychia destroyed the clone of the Princess of the Fifth Great Clan, Luxia. As a result, Luxia would definitely seek revenge on Sychia, as well as those who sided with her.
But, more importantly, Sychia had journeyed to this Secret Realm without her master's permission.
Sychia was anxious to see her master since she found soone who could potentially cure her. However, she was also dreading that mont after going against her master's wishes and sneaking off to the Secret Realm.
Sycha released a heavy sigh after thinking about what was ahead of her.
anwhile, Hakros seed to be in a good mood. Though it was not surprising since he not only got to spar against so strong celestials, he also managed to clash with so powerful ancient beasts. Plus, there was still the promise he had with Izroth regarding a suitable sparring partner. How could he not be in a good mood?
"Hm? Strange... This has never been here." Astratis furrowed his brows as he peered into the depths of the cave.
There, a portal releasing a light lavender glow could be seen. This was the portal generated by the Realm Fragnt that led back to the Mortal Realm.
"That's not surprising. It's a portal that can only appear under the most extre of conditions." Izroth comnted.
Without the Realm Fragnts, such a portal would have probably never appeared in this Secret Realm.
"I see. Then, will returning be sowhat troubleso?" Astratis inquired.
"For others, it would be nearly impossible. But, do not worry. I have my thods." Izroth stated.
"You have a great deal of secrets. The world you co from must be quite amazing. I can not wait to see it with my own eyes." A voice sounded just a few steps from behind Izroth and Astratis.
Izroth and his group had a last-minute addition to it.
"Are you sure you want to co along? I do not mind searching for the ingredients myself, sister." Astratis ntioned.
"How can I sit back and watch while everyone else goes out of their way for ? I may not have my full strength, but I am still highly capable of taking care of myself. I will help search for the ingredients with my own efforts. It is the least I can do to ease the burden on those involved." Nomii stated.
In the end, Nomii decided to also return with Izroth to the Mortal Realm along with Astratis. She was touched that her siblings wanted to do so much for her; however, she was not the type to sit back and watch. Instead, she wanted to take action with her own hands.
The following mont, Izroth and the others entered the cave and quickly arrived in front of the portal.
The portal matched the one Izroth previously used to enter the Secret Realm. He just hoped that it would not teleport them to random locations in the Mortal Realm.
〈System Alert: Warning! The ?Secret Realm: Era of Titans? will close in [0 hour(s) 0 minute(s) 10 second(s)]! If you fail to reach the exit portal before ti expires, you will be unable to leave the Secret Realm!〉
"Let's go," Izroth said as he was the first one to step through the portal.
...
Zeeeeut!
After stepping through the portal, Izroth observed his surroundings.
'I've returned.'
Izroth, along with the others he entered the portal with, had arrived back at the Mortal Realm!
Fortunately, unlike what Izroth originally anticipated, they were not separated.
'It hasn't been that long, but it almost feels like an eternity.'
As Izroth took in his surroundings, so did Astratis and Nomii.
"The ethos—there is no ethos here," Astratis exclaid.
"How is this possible?" Nomii eyes widened in disbelief.
