When Cai, Keane, Gerhart, and Cethus appeared at the entrance of the Gate of the Fallen, everyone''s gazended on them.
"Aw! Don''t look at me like that," Cai said with a bashful look on her face after being stared at by so many people. "You are making me blush! Sorry, but I''m already taken. Go find other Boars to love."
All the teenagers looked at the shameless boar with contempt.
They wanted to tell Cai that she should stop being delusional because none of them would want to court her, even if she were to be a Human.
If only the teenage boys knew how beautiful she was in her human form, all of them would be fighting against each other in order to gain her good graces.
"Where is he?" Poro asked Cethus, who had a smug look on his face after conquering the Gate of Famine.
"Who?" Cethus asked back with a frown.
"Don''t y dumb with me, you numbskull!" Poro flicked Cethus forehead, making thetter cry out in pain. "I''m talking about the Half-Elf!"
"Gerhart, my uncle wants to talk to you," Cethus said as he massaged his forehead.
"Not him, you idiot!" Poro was so close to pping the annoying Dragon Born for trying to y the fool in front of him. "I''m talking about Lux!"
Cethus gave his uncle a look filled with injustice before giving his reply.
"He said he wanted to talk to Great General Sherlock and Great General Watson for a while," Cethus replied. "I don''t know what he wanted to do, but that is none of my business."
"None of your business? Aren''t you supposed to be watching over him because you are his supervisor?"
"Now that you mention it, you''re right, Uncle. Well, it doesn''t matter. There is only one exit out of this Domain, and this is it. He will not be able to go anywhere unless he wants to stay inside the Domain of the Fallen forever."
Poro snorted, but he knew that Cethus was right. There was only one exit from the Domain and sooner orter, the Half-Elf would have to leave it, unless he wanted to stay inside the domain forever.
Of course, they were not aware that Lux had plenty of other alternatives which allowed him to bypass this rule.
Since they couldn''t do anything but wait, the members of the Crystal Pce no longer pestered Lux''s friends and allowed them to leave the cavern.

"Father, Sir Maximilian, did you find anything interesting in that ruin?" Lux asked the two Saints who had finished their exploration of the ruins inside the Domain of the Fallen.<novelsnext></novelsnext>
"We did find something interesting, but we can''t do anything about it right now," Maximilian replied. "A special key is needed in order to open the gate inside the ruins, and even using our full power is not enough to create an opening. Because of this, we decided to leave since there''s nothing else to do inside the Domain."
"How unfortunate," Luxmented. "By the way, the final Gate of the Apocalypse will open in a month''s time, and C-Rankers and below are now allowed to enter it."
"Really?" Maximilian chuckled. "That''s a good thing then. When they arrive here, they will not find anything of importance, unless they want to bring grass and tree leaves back to their Kingdoms."
The two Saints had returned to Barbatos Academy and were leisurely having an afternoon snack together. They still hadn''t sorted out the spoils that they had taken inside the Domain of the Fallen because there were a few things that they needed to do first.
It would look suspicious if they didn''t meet with the representatives that they had sent to the Domain of the Fallen, so they decided to put the sorting aside, and wait for the triumphant report of the conquers that finally cleared the Gate of Famine.
"I''ll be lying low until the Gate of the Apocalypse opens," Lux stated. "It might even be possible that I won''t enter it, and head to other ces instead. There are a few ces that I''ve been meaning to visit, but haven''t had the opportunity to do so yet, because of the Domain of the Fallen."
"That''s a good idea," Alexandermented. "You''ve been stirring a lot of waves ever since you returned from Elysium. Disappearing from the public eye will benefit you in the long run."
"I agree," Maximilian nodded. "By the way, where are you nning to go? I''ve heard from Cai that you are very close to the Dwarves in a ce called Leaf Vige. She added that you even have a statue there. Is that true?"
"Yes, Sir Maximn," Lux replied. "Leaf Vige is the Beginner''s Vige where I first appeared in Elysium. It holds a special ce in my heart."
Due to the fact that he couldn''t appear in the Humannds because he failed to pass the trial in Wildgarde Stronghold, Lux was sent to Leaf Vige by Eriol in order to help him embark on the journey that had been dyed for a very long time.
"Be careful," Alexandermented. "You don''t have to go to the Gate of the Apocalypse unless you absolutely have to. I can send people in your stead. We have a few Rankers who have been itching to check out that Domain for a long time now. This will be a good opportunity to let them have some fun."
Lux felt relieved because for him, the Gate of the Apocalypse wasn''t his priority. After meeting with Colette and the others, he would then apany his Master to the Ancestral Lands of the Necromancer in order to be a Ranker.
After that, he nned to visit the Kingdom of Agartha, which was located near the core of Elysium.
Although he didn''t want to admit it, the youngdy whom he met once in that very dark ce lingered in his mind.
A part of him felt that what he saw was only a dream, but the other half insisted that everything that happened was real.
Because of this, Lux wanted to go to Agartha in order to help that person and, if possible, bring her to a ce with light, allowing her to leave that dark ce that served as her prison.
With these swirling feelings inside his heart, the Half-Elf entered the Teleportation Gate inside his Guild Headquarters that allowed him to instantly appear in Leaf Vige, where the Vige Head, Cedwyn, was waiting to give him some good news.
