MMORPG: Rise of the Primordial Godsmith

Chapter 936: Meeting Sellifer Again

ʼSellifer?ʼ Hearing the womanʼs voice echo out in his mind, Valyr quickly recalled the conversation he and Noel had before they came to the Shadow Plane.

Recalling how Noel wanted to talk with Sellifer and ask her if he could be her student, Valyr made use of the talisman Vaughn gave him to have the latter ask Sellifer to contact him. Fortunately, with a bit of explaining, everything worked out in the end, with Vaughn telling the young man that it would only take a couple of hours at most for Sellifer to contact him.

ʼConsidering how much time Noel and I have spent searching for beasts to kill so far, if I factor in the time ratio between the Shadow Plane and Veldanyr, it does add up that she would contact me at around this time.ʼ

Inwardly muttering these thoughts to himself, Valyr soon glanced at Noel and gave him a knowing glance, hoping that his gaze conveyed to Noel his intentions that the divine being he wanted to talk to had finally made contact with him.

Unfortunately for him, Noel could not understand the meaning behind the young manʼs glance. Nevertheless, he still felt that Valyr needed some time on his own through his gaze, so he decided to give the young man the space he needed for the meantime.

Getting the peace he wanted from the glance, a faint smile adorned the young manʼs lips as he finally responded back to Selliferʼs messages. ”Before we start, can you hear me?”

”Yeah, I can,” replied Sellifer back, her voice continuing to echo through his mind. ”So, what made you ask Vaughn to contact me?”

Nodding in response to the womanʼs response, Valyr did not beat around the bush. ”Do you still remember Noel? The one who put me on the path of Shadow Energy in the first place?”

”Yeah?” answered Sellifer with a slight hint of confusion. ”What about him?”

At those words, a wry smile adorned the young manʼs face. ”Well... how do I put this?”

Scratching the back of his head as he pondered over his words for a bit, Valyr eventually replied. ”So... to cut a long story short, he asked me to ask you if he could become your student.”

Unsurprisingly, the confusion Sellifer felt deepened because of that. ”What for?”

”I donʼt know.” Valyr shrugged his shoulders at the question. ”I have a feeling it has something to do with Azure Energy or the fact you taught me how to wield Azure Energy, but Iʼm not too sure.”

”Does he want to learn how to wield Azure Energy or something? Where did he get that idea from?” As these words left Selliferʼs mouth, Valyr imagined the woman slightly frowning. ”Is it because I gave him the method to purify Shadow Energy?”

”No idea,” said the young man in response, feeling as if that was the only thing he could say at that moment.

After Valyr responded to Selliferʼs final question, the young man did not hear from the latter for quite some time, prompting him to think that the woman was thoroughly pondering over the matter.

Fortunately, Sellifer wasnʼt silent for long, speaking up once more by the time a couple of minutes had passed.

Though, rather than continue where their topic left off, the woman instead shifted their conversation to another topic, causing slight shock to appear on the young manʼs face in response.

”Are you in the Shadow Plane at the moment? Iʼve been picking up a familiar energy signature every time you respond back.”

”I am,” replied the young man after getting over his slight shock. ”But what does that have to do with our previous topic?”

”It has a lot more to do with it than you think,” said Sellifer in response, letting out a slight chuckle after that. ”Iʼm assuming Noel is with you?”

At the moment the woman asked that question, it did not take long for Valyr to figure out her intentions. ”Are you planning on coming here?”

”Yeah, Iʼll be heading there right now,” replied Sellifer, her words making Valyr think that the woman was smiling. ”Aside from resolving the matter with Noel, itʼs also a good opportunity for me to see how much youʼve improved since the last time weʼve met.”

”After all, Vaughn owns the inheritance, so Iʼm sure heʼs given you a lot more after our chance encounter.”

”Plus, it gives me a reason to finally give you a method to contact me rather than go through Vaughn,” murmured the woman soon after.

Though, with how soft she spoke as these words came out, Valyr did not register it and treated it as mere gibberish instead.

”Alright then. Iʼll be waiting.” Hearing that Sellifer was coming to where they were, Valyr could only nod in response as they talked for a bit more after that.

Eventually, the two of them ended their conversation, prompting the young man to head to where Noel was to share the good news.

Roaming around the forest for a while, Valyr soon found Noel perched on top of a tree not far away, seemingly admiring the bizarre yet idyllic landscape the Shadow Plane had.

”Iʼm guessing someone important was talking with you?” Feeling Valyrʼs presence come closer to him, Noel jumped down from the tree before asking the first question that came to his mind.

”I guess you could say that.” Valyr nodded after thinking about the question for a bit. ”To be more specific, I was talking with that divine being you wanted to see.”

”Really?” Unsurprisingly, Noelʼs demeanor underwent a massive change after that, looking at the young man with both expectation and excitement. ”Did you tell her about my wishes of wanting to become her student?”

Hearing his question, Valyr nodded in response.

”What did she say, then? Did she agree?” asked Noel back, his body trembling with great expectation.

”She...” Just as the young man was about to respond to his question, a strong presence suddenly appeared from their side, revealing a rift that showed a dazzling woman clothed in

all dark blue.

”I said no.”

Whoosh!

Crossing the rift to arrive at the Shadow Plane, Selliferʼs aura swiftly spread out in its entirety, immediately making the two turn pale as they felt like they were mere ants standing in front

of a massive elephant.

Seeing the sudden change in their expressions, the woman briefly had a look of realization as she reined in her aura, allowing the color on both Noel and Valyrʼs faces to return soon after.

Taking a few deep breaths to compose himself, Valyr soon shifted his gaze towards the being that appeared before them, only to fall into a slight daze from the sheer beauty the woman

exuded.

Briefly shaking his head to consciously extricate himself from the feeling, the young man eventually looked at Sellifer once more before asking in slight uncertainty. ”Did you come

here with your real body?”

”Yeah.” Sellifer nodded, her tone laced with the inherent power of Azure Energy. ”I couldʼve made a clone or split a small fragment of myself to meet with you, but itʼs not like the Shadow Plane forbids the entrance of Divine-level beings.”

”In any case...” The woman smiled soon after.

”Youʼve grown a lot since weʼve last met, Valyr.”
