?


    As Lux dried his hair with a towel, he looked at the two beautifuldies who were lying on the bed, naked with a smile on their face.


    Two days had passed since his return from the Abyss, and many things had happened since then.


    First of all, not all the humans who were identally sucked into the Abyss managed to make it back home. Some of them had been in by the Abyssal Monsters, which was quite unfortunate because those that had entered the Gate of the Apocalypse were the Elites of each faction.


    Even the Dragon Borns had significant casualties on their side, leaving Poro''s face very dark when he took his people back to the Crystal Pce.


    A day after Lux''s return, something happened to the Domain of the Fallen, which no one had foreseen. All the people who hade to conquer the Domain of the Fallen and the Gate of the Apocalypse were expelled from the Domain.


    Not only that, the Gate that served as its entrance vanished without a trace.


    This rmed everyone, and many even believed that the Half-Elf had done something that made the Gate disappear.


    The Skystead Alliance were the ones who brought up and spread this idea, and the Xynnar War Pact followed suit.


    However, Poro, who had been with Lux since the beginning imed that the Half-Elf was innocent, and what happened to the Domain of the Fallen had nothing to do with him.


    Since no one wanted to anger the Saint of the Crystal Pce, they held their tongue. But deep inside, they were still ming the Half-Elf for what happened to the Domain.


    The Six Kingdoms didn''t say anything because they didn''t want to anger the Saints who were on Lux''s side, as well as their ally, which was the Xynnar War Pact.


    In the end, Lux returned to Barbatos Academy to rest for a few days before he returned to Agartha toplete the quest he''d started.


    Just when the Half-Elf had finished putting on his clothes, Cai stirred on the bed and looked at her surroundings in a daze.


    She was still half asleep, and it took her a while to recognize the Half-Elf who was smiling back at her.


    "Good morning, Cai," Lux said as he approached the bed and kissed his fiance on her forehead. "Did you sleep well?"


    "Mmm," Cai replied before yawning.


    Her beautiful body looked more smooth and radiant than it had a few days ago.


    The same could be said to the blue-haireddy, who was still sleeping peacefully on the bed.


    After Lux returned to Barbatos Academy, the first thing he did was to help Cai and Iris increase their ranks to D-Rank using the special method that Queen Rhiannon had taught him.


    What happened in the Gate of the Apocalypse made everyone realize that idents could happen anytime and that they didn''t have the liberty of choosing their opponents.


    This made everyone pursue the goal to be stronger in order to better protect themselves if a simr incident happened in the future.


    Right now, Lux was a C-Ranker.


    Although he had increased his Rank by one stage, he was still far away from the True Powerhouses of the World.


    He knew that he was only able to save his lovers due to the help of others, especially his Master, Gaap, who had the Golem of Destruction, Antero, under hismand.


    Without his help, fighting against a Demigod like the Subus Queen was pure suicide.


    "Are you going somewhere?" Cai asked as she looked at her fiance who was already fully dressed.


    Lux nodded. "I need to return to the Guild Headquarters for a bit to check the Subi and the Satyrs. Although Garret told me that they have been behaving, I would like to see it with my own eyes and make sure that everything is in order."


    "Okay, you do that." Cai smiled before kissing him on the cheek. "I''ll wake up Iris so we can take a bath and have breakfast together. Will you be back for lunch?"


    "I''ll be back this evening," Lux replied. "The Steward of the Crystal Pce wants to talk to me in private."


    After saying goodbye to his fiance, Lux teleported to his Guild Headquarters to check if the denizens of the Abyss and his other guild members were getting along.


    Fortunately, the Subi and the Satyrs were behaving themselves and even did their best to get along with everyone in the Guild''s Headquarters.


    The Abyssal Creatures didn''t have Guilds or the likes.


    Because of this, they didn''t have any idea of how famous Lux''s Guild was in both Elysium and Sis.


    The Half-Elf also told them that if anyone were to ask them what the name of their Guild was, they must only answer Ars Goetia.


    Poro had informed Lady Augustina about the newest members of Lux''s Guild, which was why he needed to meet with her in the Crystal Pce.


    Although the Dragon Born didn''t say it outright, Cethus'' Uncle had concerns about the Abyssal Creatures who were now inside their territory.


    "So how are your sisters faring?" Lux asked the leader of the Subi, whom Queen Rhiannon had designated to be their temporary leader while they were in Elysium.


    Her name was Clover, and she was a mature beauty with long blue hair and a seductive body. She was the only one among the Subi who wore sses, making her look like a very serious andpetent person.


    "The air here is very fresh, and the sky is very blue," Clover replied. "I''ve heard many stories about Elysium, but I never expected it to be this beautiful. I wish my Queen could see all of this."


    Clover sighed after she thought of her beloved Queen, who had protected all of them for several decades on the 13th Layer of the Abyss.


    "I wish she was here too," Lux said softly as he thought of the peerless beauty who had decided to stay in the Abyss.


    After recalling the unspoken promise he and Queen Rhiannon made with each other, the Half-Elf smiled and continued his conversation with Clover.


    "It''s good to know that you are enjoying it here," Luxmented. "If there is anything that you need, don''t hesitate to tell Garret or Emma if I''m not around. They are the ones who manage my Guild Headquarters whenever I am away."


    Clover nodded. "Understood. But I''d like to ask you something about this Guild of yours."


    The Subus adjusted her sses as she looked at the Half-Elf with a solemn gaze.


    "For some reason, I felt like I got stronger after arriving in Elysium," Clover stated. "My sisters have also grown stronger, which means that this isn''t an individual thing. When I asked Emma about it, she said that it was the effect of your Guild Buffs.


    "She added that not all guilds in this world have this effect, and as far as she knows, only your guild has it. Can you tell me why you are the only one to have these so-called Guild Buffs?"


    "Sure," Lux answered. "You see…"


    The Half-Elf exined the concept of Guilds to Clover including the Rank of each one. He also told her about the Adventurer''s Guild, which greatly captured her interest.


    After his exnation, the Subus asked if anyone could register in the Guild Headquarters to be an Adventurer.


    Lux didn''t know the answer to this question, so he taught Clover on how to use the Guild Chat and introduced her to Ken, who was one of the Branch Guildmasters of the Adventurer''s Guild in the Kingdom of Gweliven.


    Clover found the Guild Chat very interesting, so she shared the information with her sisters. Soon, the Guild Chat was flooded with messages as the Subi, who knew nothing about the world began to ask questions, which his guild members were happy to answer.


    After making sure that there weren''t any immediate concerns in his Guild Headquarters, Lux decided that it was time to meet with the Steward of the Crystal Pce, who had been waiting for his arrival.
