887 Complete

During this time, the Avatar transferred all the information about their long journey to Vale… This happened almost in an instant but this process wasn’t done through a certain spell. It was just a natural ability of the Avatars made from a part of his soul and divinity.

‘Incredible…’ Vale muttered to himself after learning what had happened in their journey and after realizing how much time they spent inside the Celestial Prison Realm.

Of course, he was also surprised about the Perfect Vessel that they’d found, including the new residents of this realm that they had recruited.

Unfortunately, the passageway that the Golden Key could create was too small for these new residents for dimensional travel… They still have to create a proper gateway that would help them lessen the burden of transporting people.

At the very least, they could already send a few of them here as long as he agreed to do so… These beings include not just beastfolks but also real Angels.

Aside from this, Vale also learned about the treasures they obtained. There were a lot of them, but what really caught his interest was the Towers themselves were part of the treasure!

Apparently, the 16 Towers of the Celestial Prison Realm had been transformed into toy-like structures about five inches in height! No one lives in these Towers right now. They were also no longer used as prisons, but they were now comparable to the Soul Towers, where Arcanists could train and such.

Furthermore, If he wanted to spend a lot of resources on these Towers, he could make them similar to Arcanist Tower instead of just using them to store resources, train people, or use them as a living space.

Lastly, there was actually a piece of news about Mennena’s main body…

To be exact, her main body was actually in the Void Arts Prison Tower… As soon as they entered the Void Arts Tower, Mennena was somehow able to escape by using the small cracks that were made when they got transported inside. However, it just felt like a strange aura passed through them.

Mennena had then vanished completely… If not for the Avatar’s senses, everyone else would’ve dismissed the phenomenon that they encountered.

Nonetheless, Vale still asked everyone about their journey as if he was still unaware of this. This time, he was able to know their perspective as well.

‘Mennena…’ Vale frowned as he heard this name once again. He already knew what had happened in the castle when Mennena and that Dragon called Aersus had appeared to cause trouble. From the looks of it, Aersus was still here hiding somewhere while Mennena was probably recovering right now.

Whether Mennena was an enemy or not, he wasn’t exactly sure… He could only hope that she would not add to the problem.

After organizing his thoughts, he finally had a chance to talk with the others about their adventure inside the Celestial Prison Realm.

Chad shared this information with him and was pretty excited about it.

“We just need some Divine Crystals. With those Crystals, those folks in the Celestial Prison Realm will be able to enter… Ahem… There’s actually an Asura Race among them.” Chad explained and the last part was said in a low voice.

To be exact, there was only one member of the Asura Race who was still alive in the Prison Realm. The Asura was incredible and, perhaps, equal to an Immortal if he was able to recover to his peak strength.

“Asura, huh…” Vale muttered softly as he didn’t think too much of it at first when he learned about it.

However, after considering it for a moment, its existence would surely help them understand more about the other races and methods of becoming an Immortal without being an Arcanist.

Furthermore, he recalled about the corpses they found.

“Right… Your Avatar is keeping those three corpses of Asura in his Spatial Ring. I’m not sure if you can use them though…” Chad added.

Vale nodded. According to his memories, the corpses weren’t actually dried-up corpses. It was still somehow preserved, including the garments and various belongings on their bodies.

‘I hope I can extract them… But if not…’

“They can probably help Denise in case I can’t.” Vale said as he trusts Denise’s incredible ability. Furthermore, she was also learning with Heinz about the project she was doing with the Time Manipulators.

It would be very long until this young woman became a boss-like figure of numerous powerful golem creations that had the power equal to Immortals.

After all, the Apex Guardian alone was already something that was above the Half-Immortal level… It was something that could trouble the two Dragons as well.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to the expedition group, a mysterious figure had slipped through the portal with them, vanishing into the shadows as soon as they arrived in the Human Realm.

This enigmatic presence went undetected, even by Vale, the Shadow Immortal.

Had Constance, the Spirit Immortal, been present, she might have sensed the faint traces of this intruder. However, she was absent from the castle, leaving the figure free to escape without encountering any barriers.

Whoosh~

Three hundred kilometers away, in a secluded dungeon within an Earl’s Castle in the Milton Kingdom, the figure found a mirror. The dungeon was a cold, damp place, with walls covered in moss and the air thick with the scent of mold.

Chains and shackles hung from the walls. It was the remnants of the dungeon’s grim past. The only light came from flickering torches, casting shadows in a gloomy dungeon.

As the figure approached the mirror, it began to glow with an otherworldly light.

The figure’s form became clearer, revealing a young woman with outstanding features.

With a wave of her hand, her naked body was suddenly covered by a black energy before turning into a charming red dress.

“At last, I am complete!” Mennena exclaimed, gazing at her reflection with tears of relief. Her eyes, a deep shade of violet, sparkled with joy…
