MMORPG: Rise of the Primordial Godsmith

Chapter 925: Heading Back to the Shadow Plane

”...What?”

At the very moment those words left Noelʼs mouth, Valyr looked back at the old man with a hint of confusion.

Understanding that the main reason that Noel wanted him to visit the Spearman Guild revolved around Azure Energy, the young man already had ideas on a couple possible scenarios that would happen.

One of those scenarios would be the old man asking him if he could contact Sellifer, considering that the two already had history in the past.

Another possible scenario that popped up in the young manʼs mind was Noel asking him if he could teach him how to harness the power of Azure Energy.

After all, in its current state, it could already match up to the power of Abyssal Energy.

If Noel were to get his hands on Azure Energy and bring it to greater heights, then it went without saying that he would immediately become a feared entity on the battlefield.

Between these two things, Noelʼs request leaned more towards the first possibility, but headed in a direction that the young man did not expect.

In his mind, he thought that Noel would ask him to contact Sellifer to possibly tie up some loose ends, being reminded of the past that unfolded between the two once more.

ʼThen again, with the gap in power that exists between the two of them, I guess this shouldʼve been a possibility I was expecting as well,ʼ thought the young man not long after, not finding the old manʼs request that peculiar anymore.

”So... can you contact her?” Seeing as Valyr went silent all of a sudden after his request, a hint of concern appeared on Noelʼs face as he asked in slight worry.

Inwardly taking a deep breath, the confusion on the young manʼs face was replaced with a faint awkward smile. ”Iʼll try... but expect it to take some time.”

At those words, Noel merely smiled as he nodded. ”Donʼt worry. Take as much time as you need.”

Nodding back in response to the manʼs words, Valyr stood up before deciding to distance himself from the old man, telling him that he needed some space to contact Sellifer.

Getting an idea on what went on in the young manʼs mind, Noel faintly nodded in response, allowing the young man to faintly sigh in relief as he moved a couple hundred of meters away from the old man.

Feeling like heʼd gotten far enough from Noel, Valyr retrieved the talisman Vaughn gave him from his spatial bracelet before infusing it with a bit of his energy.

ʼItʼs been a while since we last had a talk.ʼ Hearing a familiar voice resound in his mind once more, a faint smile adorned Valyrʼs lips as he held the talisman closer to his body.

ʼSo, what made you take the initiative to talk with me?ʼ asked Vaughn after that. ʼNeed me to fulfill a request for you?ʼ

ʼI guess you could consider it a request,ʼ replied Valyr. ʼCould you help me contact Sellifer so I could ask her a couple of things?ʼ

ʼWait... she didnʼt give you a method to contact her?ʼ After a bit of silence, Vaughn responded back to Valyrʼs favor with a hint of incredulity. ʼDidnʼt you two spend a fair amount of time already?ʼ

ʼYeah...ʼ Valyr could only bitterly smile at those words, recalling how the woman had forgotten to give him titles related to Azure Energy at first.

Though she had given them to him in the end, it was only around the time she gave the young man a Concept Impartation.

ʼAs forgetful as ever...ʼ Vaughn let out a sigh. ʼEven back then, she was already beginning to forget a few things here and there, only recalling those things after some time had passed.ʼ

ʼIn any case, is that all you want me to do? Donʼt you need help on anything else?ʼ

Hearing this question, Valyr said yes, confirming that it was the only thing he needed Vaughnʼs help in.

ʼIf thatʼs the case, then I wonʼt consider this as you using one of the requests,ʼ said Vaughn in response, prompting the young man to go silent. ʼAfter all, the scope of this task is too simple to be considered one.ʼ

After going silent for a bit, Valyr could only reply back with words of gratitude, to which Vaughn responded back with a slight chuckle.

ʼItʼll take some time for me to contact Sellifer, but Iʼll make sure sheʼll contact you within the next couple of hours or so,ʼ said Vaughn, ending the conversation after that once he said a couple more words.

ʼAnyways, donʼt forget to talk with Ryvrthe once you have some free time.ʼ

Whoosh!

Seeing the talisman return to its original state, Valyr looked at it for a bit before putting it back into his spatial bracelet.

Then, going over the things the two of them discussed, the young man returned to where Noel was, sitting back down.

”So, how did it go?” Asking this question, Noel looked at the young man with both curiosity and expectation.

”It went well.” Valyr nodded as he looked back, causing Noel to beam with happiness. ”However, weʼll have to wait a couple of hours or so before she contacts me.”

”Thatʼs more than enough.” Noel laughed with glee. ”The fact that sheʼs willing to talk is already beyond my wildest expectations.”

”Putting the topic of the divine being aside...”

As these words left his mouth, Noelʼs expression immediately turned stern, staring at the young man as if he could shoot daggers through his eyes. ”Have you even worked on your Shadow Energy after we last met?”

”Er...” Scratching his cheek, Valyr looked at Noel with an awkward chuckle in response.

Noel could only sigh at that, shaking his head before releasing a bit of his Abyssal Energy into the ground.

Whoosh!

Within seconds, a rift that led to the Shadow Plane appeared before the two, causing Valyr to look at the old man for a bit, the gears in his mind turning.

”What are you giving me that look for?” said Noel back.

Pointing at the rift, he continued, ”Since you havenʼt worked on your Shadow Energy all this time, why not take this time waiting for the divine being as an opportunity to work on it, even if itʼs just a little bit?”

Hearing that, Valyr could only look back at him in silence, only to inwardly let out a low

exhale soon after.

”Well... alright then.”

Standing up, the young man soon passed through the rift, with the old man following behind

him not long after.

And with that, the two eventually arrived at the Shadow Plane.
