Chapter 2546 Time to Go
Monthster, in the cave of the Stuart family...
Minos suddenly opened his eyes in this bluish environment, now at a new level!
Feeling his power stabilizing at level 106, a smile appeared on Minos'' face, his skin glowing with the energy of his surroundings. With a clench of his fists, the stones around him subtly trembled, his aura at a higher level than it had been in over ten years, a new height for him to clear.
However, his advancement meant not only more power but also a turning point in his journey.
''It is time for me to leave the guild!'' He looked down at the wing tattoo on one of his hands, finally reaching this point after years of promising the Seraph''s soul fragment that he would focus onpleting his mission.
''I am sorry to have kept you waiting so long, old friend. I''ll sort out my situation with the guild and leave in a day or two. Let''s talk when I get to the artificial moon. Don''t waste your energy on me now.'' Minos spoke to the seraph''s will, feeling the six wings of the tattoo on one of his hands warm, but nothing more.
With that, he left the cave, passing Lily and Hollie without saying more than ''hello'' to the two girls.
On his way to the guild, Minos was soon in the Records Hall to pick up his permission to leave.
He had been preparing for this for a long time,pleting missions and earning merit points. Now all he had to do was sign his indefinite notice of departure and say goodbye to his family.
After that, it was time to leave for Ganaway Refuge, from where he could go to the Artificial Moon. The way past the Artificial Moon was still uncertain for Minos. He needed to speak with the soul fragment to get directions to the Seraphim World.
From his previous conversations with the seraph, Minos knew the journey between the Artificial Moon and his destination was not far. The bulk of his journey would be to and from Zocarro and then on to the Seraphim World.
The space journey itself, considering the round trip, was expected to take between two and four years, depending on the variables of the journey between the Artificial Moon and the Seraphim World.
...
After sorting out his situation with the guild, Minos met up with his group, bringing together all 100+ members of the faction.
After reserving the main restaurant of the external area because of the group''s external members, Minos gave hisst orders to the group.
His words were aimed at strengthening the group''s membership, attracting new members, and improving the group''s influence within the guild.
Minos didn''t want to be Chief Commander, but he wanted to have a lot of freedom and privileges within the organization in the future. For that to happen, the group would have to continue to grow in his absence.
His absence wouldn''t be long, but between 20 and 30 years would be enough for everyone to improve a little and for many things to happen for the faction and the guild.
There was a war brewing over the Firestone Mines. Minos was more concerned about this conflict than the internal affairs of the guild. As such, he warned his Senior Officers to be especially careful.
Minos advised caution with Maximillian and other elements of the guild until everyone began to eat and celebrate.
Although this was a temporary farewell, it was also the beginning of a new journey. With several new Officers and ns for expansion and growth for the faction, the next few years would differ greatly from thest decade!
As the faction members ate, smiled and chatted, some drinking and smoking, Minos approached Callie and Vico in the restaurant he had booked for his group.
"If you two reach level 107 during my trip, don''t hesitate to go to the Spiritual World. I believe the group will be stable enough by then for you toplete your mission," Minos said, looking forward to seeing his rtives.
Vico nodded, showing he would do so. But he couldn''t help asking a question that had been on his mind since his arrival in Zocarro. "Minos, who wille with us? After all our travels, I believe that only a few years have passed for ourpanions in the Spiritual World. Surely not even a decade has passed for them. It''s possible that when we return, some of our experts will still be at the same level as before.
This was a doubt that Callie had also thought about many times. If they returned soon, wouldn''t that mean that they would help to cleanse the Spiritual World of the few experts left behind?
Minos understood Vico''s question because he had thought about it himself. "Some of them stayed behind only because there was no ce for them to apany us. Focus on bringing people who won''t be missed and who don''t want to stay in the world.
People like Maisie, Oswald, Sarah, and George probably won''t choose to stay behind, and their departure will not weaken my forces in the Spiritual World."
But he didn''t rule out the possibility that some of his family might choose to stay.
"Your should stay there for at least two years. Use this time to help create security mechanisms, cultivation methods, and stronger areas so that my forces and your people can strengthen more quickly."
Minos gave Vico a spatial ring, an item that contained the bodies of many low and mid-level Sovereigns, but also some artifacts that could be used in the Spiritual World and the Adamant Land.
"My men in the Spiritual World will know what to do with what''s here. It will help improve the quality of the." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Vico''s eyes narrowed as he sensed what was inside the item, surprised that Minos was so interested in sending things to the Spiritual World.
One would expect someone in his position to leave his old world behind and focus only on what was in front of him. But Minos didn''t seem interested in giving up his empire.
In a way, this embarrassed Vico, who hadpletely left his old state behind.
"I will hand it over to your people. Don''t worry, we''ll do our best and bring those who want toe to Zocarro. With the resources you''ve left, we''ll certainly be able to pay for the travel of at least 20 natives of our."
Minos nodded to both of them, then returned to his wife''s side. Tonight, he would spend hours with the three of them. But before he actually left the guild, he would stop by one more ce to say goodbye.
