Chapter 837: Chapter 374: Will You Co Back Again?
The echoes of the Chaos Storm slowly dissipated into the air, like the after-sigh of a Giant Beast.
The Abyss returned to its rightful sinister silence.
Yet within that deathly stillness lay an even deeper unrest.
As if countless invisible eyes were watching everything in the darkness.
Nari began releasing the core pod, letting Ron return to the outside world.
The mont the pod opened, a deliberately controlled warm breeze brushed against Ron’s body, as comforting as a Mother’s embrace.
Earlier, Ron had been observing the entire battle through Spiritual Link.
His Enchantnt effects played a crucial role in the fight.
That Polluting Touch attack directly wounded the famously resilient Mogron.
"It seems the results of this battle are far better than expected," he concluded with satisfaction in his heart:
"Not only did it verify the new abilities of the Magic Sword, but it also established Nari’s stronger presence in the Abyss."
However, as a calm researcher, he also realized the potential risks:
"The escape of two Apostles ans that news will spread. The power dynamics in the Abyss might change because of this."
Nari seed to sense his worry, her voice becoming gentle:
"My child, don’t fret over those cowards." Her tone carried reassurance:
"Today they witnessed our strength, and they won’t dare provoke us again anyti soon."
She paused, her voice turning more serious:
"Moreover, this deterrent effect is beneficial for your safety.
All Apostles now know that I’m at my peak power, and none dare to easily beco my enemy."
Ron nodded, agreeing with this analysis.
"Mother, I may need to return to the surface for a while to handle so important matters."
Upon hearing this decision, Nari’s emotions instantly turned to sadness.
"But... we’ve only just established a true connection... I can’t bear to let you leave..."
Nari’s voice carried a child-like grievance:
"Mother will miss you... it’s the first ti in such a long while that soone willingly stays by my side..."
Her tentacles began to sway unconsciously, stirring up a massive whirlpool of water.
Those eyes started secreting so kind of transparent liquid.
Those were Nari’s tears, with each drop containing precious condensed Energy.
Her voice tinged with sobs: "If you leave, I’ll beco lonely again..."
"This is just a temporary separation," Ron gently comforted:
"Through Spiritual Link, we’ll never truly be apart. Moreover, I’ll keep in touch with you through this."
He raised the Magic Sword in his hand, and the Runes on the sword’s body began to glow, resonating with Nari’s emotional waves.
Nari looked at the flickering light, her emotions calming slightly:
"Really? You won’t find
annoying?"
"Of course not." Ron replied sincerely:
"You’re the only one in this world willing to protect
unconditionally."
"Then..."
Nari cautiously asked, her voice carrying a probing expectation:
"Will you visit Mother frequently?"
"Whenever there’s a chance, I’ll apply for Abyss exploration missions."
Ron offered a clear yet flexible promise:
"But you know, overly frequent explorations will raise suspicion. We need to find a suitable frequency."
"I’m listening to you."
Nari imdiately agreed but then showed a worried expression:
"But... when you’re not here, Mother will be very lonely..."
Seeing Nari sink back into an emotional low, Ron knew it was ti to present the "gift" he had prepared.
He extended his hand, intricate Rune circuits beginning to erge in his palm.
These Runes weren’t engraved on any material but directly composed of Magic Power, appearing in a semi-transparent silvery glow.
As the Runes activated, the Magic Sword began to undergo a wondrous transformation.
The tal fluid on the sword’s body slowly separated, like cell division, splitting into two.
The whole process was filled with a sense of life’s Rhythm.
The separated part retained a humanoid outline, covered with a soft material like skin, with silver Energy light bands flowing internally.
"A part of
will stay here to accompany you."
Ron explained, while transmitting commands to the puppet via Spiritual Link:
"Though we’re physically separated, our consciousness remains connected."
The Stand-In Puppet slowly opened its eyes, its gaze gleaming with the sa wisdom as Ron’s.
Its appearance was carefully designed, maintaining basic human features while incorporating so "adorable" elents.
Nari looked at this exquisite little puppet, her eyes instantly lighting up.
Though she knew it was rely an extension of Ron’s consciousness, emotionally, she had already regarded it as a true "child."
"My darling..."
She extended her tiniest tentacle, gently stroking the puppet’s surface.
"Then, this is the part I take with ."
Ron raised the remaining Magic Sword in his hand, its blade slightly smaller than before yet retaining its full functionality:
"It will assist
in surface research and battle, and it’s also our link."
The separated Magic Sword lost most of its activation features, but its basic shape-shifting and Magic spell storage functions remained intact.
For daily experintal assistance and battle needs, this was already sufficient.
Through this thod of separation, Ron gained a useful tool while leaving Nari a token of emotional solace.
