Chapter 4060: Return
BOOOM!
I was about to thank Prime Volsnorth for earlier save from the Prime monster when a massive
blast rang out.
I didn't have to turn to know what had exploded. Still, I did and sighed.
I wanted a few things from there, but the cultists didn't want us to have anything. So, they blasted the facility, with the blast at a near level of Prime.
"Nothing in the facility could survive this blast," I sighed with regret.
"Cultists always want to wipe the traces away, but if you want anything particular. You can
tell me, we have a large collection of the cultists' things in there," he replied, and my eyes lit up.
"I could get them?" I asked.
"Usually no, but I could give them to you with my guarantee," he replied, and a big smile appeared on my face.
"Thank you, Prime Volsnorth," I replied to the man.
I have read about the things cultists used and there are a few things I want. I
t would help me a lot with my research.
"Let's go. We have stayed here, long enough," he said, and we began to move, and our speed was tremendously fast.
I still remember the time, he brought me to the organization. Then it was a blur to me and even after years and massive increase in strength, it is still a blur to me.
Shifting the space to move, not all primes could do this. One needs sufficient power to do something like this.
"That Prime was powerful? Too powerful to be overseer of the facility for the Sky Sovereigns," I asked, and a surprise flashed in the eyes of the old man.
"You are right. He was not overseer; he was inspector. In charge of inspecting the facilities,"
"You have stumbled upon him at the right time, and we were able to deal with him. It was a massive contribution," he said, looking at me with a proud smile.
"I would be grateful. If you keep my involvement to a minimum; I don't want to draw too much attention to me," I requested.
The old man said nothing for a moment before nodding.
To be honest, I want to bask in the achievement. Squeeze everything, I could from the organization for it, but I have to be rational.
It will attract attention. I don't want that.
If someone so much suspected I have a forbidden power, I would be in a world of trouble. It would make my life hell, and I wouldn't have even a moment of peace.
"A limit hun! I predicted your strength would be high, but never predicted, you would be at the limit," he said after a few minutes.
"The realm had given quite a few chances," I replied.
I didn't show my breakthrough. It will add complication and make suspect things.
"With such strength, when you become Prime. You will get tremendous benefits," he said with a lost look appearing in his eyes.
"The advantage of absolute limit will be nothing in front of laws you will comprehend, thanks to the rules you have," he added, patting my shoulder.
"I don't want to try to make a breakthrough. I want to break the absolute limit first," I replied to him.
Surprising so much that he nearly stopped. It took him a few seconds to recover from it and he turned to me with his expressions serious.
"It's quite an ambition, but it takes time and barely 1% of those at the absolute limit succeed in breaking through it,"
"Though, if you are willing to listen to my advice. I will say, focus on your breakthrough into the Prime. The laws far surpassed the benefits that breakthrough after breaking the limit could give you," he advised.
I know it and if I had been a normal breaker. I would have listened to his advice.
I am not. I have a thing, called forbidden power, which I have to merge with me as much as I can. This means going past the limit before I can make a breakthrough.
There is also a thing about comprehending the laws. I am at Earth Sovereign Stage and will break through into the Sky Sovereign.
Only primes comprehend the laws.
"It will be given it some time. If I don't succeed, I will focus on making a breakthrough into the Prime," I reply.
I thought he would object, but he didn't. He simply nodded as we traveled toward the organization.
"I nearly forgot. Take this," he said and threw a head-sized crystal at me.
Not a crystal, but a core. The core of Prime and seeing how warm it is feeling and massive fiery energies inside it. It's likely from the bird.
"Thank you," I replied.
I will not decline it. It will be very helpful to me; I could do many things with it. However, I will have to be very careful. The slightest mistake dealing with this thing. I will mind myself vaporized along with everyone around me.
An hour passed, when I turned back, before looking ahead with a frown on my face.
"Your senses are quite sharp, young man, to feel them," he said a moment later, feeling sparks of surprise in his eyes.
"There are people following us?" I asked, terrified.
For a few minutes, I had felt eyes on my back. Like someone was looking at me, but I saw no
one behind me, and I didn't dare to use my soul so close to Prime.
"Yes, they have been for a few minutes," he replied almost casually, to my horror.
"Then shouldn't we move faster?" I asked.
Everything might be a blur to me, but I could calculate the speed and it is constant since we
had left.
He didn't change it.
"There is no need. They won't attack us," he replied, almost sure of that. Though I could see the cautiousness hidden behind his casual façade.
He will act if those behind us act and there is more to it. A confidence that he will be fine.
'Our people might be around,' I thought.
