Chapter 290: Void (1/2)
It was unbelievable, but one year had already passed in the underground city.
Kyoya and his party totally immersed themselves in the training here as nothing else could be done. However, the bonding was possible and everyone always ate dinners together. This included Xiaoxiao and Noe who were fueling the orbs and getting the most benefits out of it.
The husband was also the husband and his nights were warm.
”I feel bad for not checking my disciples on the low floors… It's been one year already and I should prepare new quests… If they just keep getting quests to kill monsters close to them, then some calamity might descend on them.”
”It's good as long as they keep doing quests, the husband.”
Kyoya and Xaya were yet again strolling around the underground city.
They had yet to hear any voice like Olivia, but both of them were looking out for any creatures here.
The couple didn't mind their current lifestyle as it would make their future brighter and easier. Powerful strength required a lot of effort and sacrifice, so it was it. But it will be also rewarding to stomp on the higher floors later on!
Even the heavenly palace and other divine lands!
Moreover, it wasn't like their progress halted and it was more than anyone expected except for the husband who was struck here without being able to reach his disciples properly. He still could see their strength growth through the disciple system, but the quests needed proper analysis.
Luckily enough, the husband's disciple system could give simple hunt quests based on the disciple's location.
”I wonder when this other side will open?”
”We can't even tell where this other side is, the husband.”
”It sucks, but nothing suspicious was found on Noe and Xiaoxiao, so the strength growth is real and we can expect this quest to end smoothly.”
”Yes, the husband. Congratulations!”
”It's our quest, stupid.”
”Mmm.”
-
A few months later the other side began to react and its opening was already close.
The whole forces gathered in the middle of the underground city, genuinely shocking the husband's party.
The number of people under Venes was just overwhelming and it looked like a sect or some weird gathering with the black robes fluttering in unison.
It raised stress a little, but not to the point where everyone would be frozen to move or act.
”It seems like today is the day.”
Venes appeared close to the husband's party, his hand holding the champagne! It was highly lethal champagne as it was actually poison and he didn't forget to tell the husband about it.
This champagne bursted out with purplish liquid and every black robed person got a little of it.
Venes, as the master, got another bottle for himself and fully drank it before continuing with his speech.
Of course, everyone from the husband's party was already looking at him differently, their eyes a little narrowed.
”Oh, welcome back, everyone!”
In a mood that was like on the banquet, Venes waved at people such as Xiaoxiao and Noe who returned from the orb fueling. They weren't exhausted or had any other symptoms of hard work.
Instead, every person looked lively and ready for an event.
Venes didn't miss the fact that Olivia came closer to the husband's party and prefered to stay with them.
”Everyone must've guessed that I know a little of what lies on the other side.”
