But one thing was clear—this time, two guardians might be summoned.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
[Minimum level 25 confirmed.]
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
[Second Guardian, <Magic-Powered Battle Golem>, awakens from a long slumber.]
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
[Third Guardian, <Luminous Har>, awakens from a long slumber.]
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“……!”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
I was right!
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
From both Stone Tablets, brilliant golden light burst forth as new beings appeared before me.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Boom!
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
A being appeared in a stream of pitch-black light.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Its appearance was made of black iron and magical metals, its whole body encased in armor inscribed with magic runes.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Though the armor’s surface looked like ancient metal, within it flowed a constant stream of radiant red mana, and I could see an energy core faintly pulsing in its chest.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Its face was like a helmet with no expression.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Deep-set eye sockets burned with red mana light, and a dragon crest was engraved atop its head.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
It looked like something straight out of an ancient legend—an intimidating, overwhelmingly destructive presence!
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“But…”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
My eyes narrowed.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Why is it so small?”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Its tiny frame didn’t even reach my knees.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
This little thing was a Magic-Powered Battle Golem?
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Still, it’s too early to judge just by its looks.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
This is the Dragon’s Lair.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Even an ant-sized being might wield the power of Hercules.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Don’t jump to conclusions!
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Hi there. Nice to meet you.”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
I greeted the little guy.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Ke…ron.”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Psssshhhhh
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
It let out a mechanical noise.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Then the red light in its eyes faded out completely.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Just like a powered-down electronic device!
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“…?”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
I blinked and poked at it.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
But it didn’t move at all.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
It really looked powered off.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
And—why can’t I see its level or name?
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Come to think of it, Popo’s information didn’t appear right away either. I think it showed up about five minutes later with the message,
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
[Guardian Contract has been inherited.]
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Don’t tell me it won’t inherit the contract because it’s powered off?”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Heh…
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
I gave a dry chuckle—then suddenly:
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
[The ultimate and most fearsome strategic magic weapon, Arkeron, has inherited the Guardian Contract.]
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
A system message popped up before my eyes.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
And then—its level and name became visible:
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
‘Lv 251,
Magic-Powered Battle Golem
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Arkeron
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“……!!”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
My eyes widened like they were about to split open.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Level 251?
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Is that really 251?
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
I rubbed my eyes and checked again.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Yep—still 251.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“What the…?”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Insane!
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
I was so shocked I couldn’t even speak.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
I had already realized, through Popo, that levels above 100 existed.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
But now a level 200+ being suddenly appeared—and I was completely speechless.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
‘At Lv 251, even if it’s small, it could probably conquer Earth solo.’
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
As expected from the Dragon’s Lair.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
You can’t trust what you see!
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“But… why isn’t it moving?”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
No matter how I looked at it, it seemed completely shut down.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Is this really okay?
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Even peering closer didn’t give me any answers.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
For now, I’ll just move it next to Dania.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Ah!”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
But before that.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
I turned my head again and looked around.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
There were definitely two Guardians summoned this time.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
One was Arkeron.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
The other one… where is it…?
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Hm?”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
A golden, fist-sized furball behind Arkeron caught my eye.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“No way…”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Is that it?
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
I walked up to the furball and squatted down in front of it.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Then, raising my index finger—
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Poke!
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
I poked the furball.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Chuu!”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
!!!
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
I was startled.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
I almost fell flat on my butt.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Churuu—!”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
What kind of sound was that?
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
From a half-squatting posture, I looked down at the golden furball.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Saaa—!
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
A soft golden glow began to seep out from the small lump, as if it was imbued with light.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Wriggle!
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
At that moment, the furball slowly began to unfold and reveal itself.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Like a blooming flower, the soft golden fur shifted gently and began to spread apart.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Poof!
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
A small, round body emerged.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
‘Whoa.’
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
The shape was familiar.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
It looked strikingly similar to a hamster I had raised when I was a child.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Chuchu!”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
With a chirp, its tiny ears twitched slightly.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
The tips of its ears sparkled under the golden light.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Whip!
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
It lifted its head and began to scan the surroundings.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Its large black eyes reflected the light through the fur, twinkling like stars.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Those eyes were filled with curiosity.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Its tiny nose wriggled, seemingly sniffing the air.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Poof!
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Then its short legs carefully emerged from the furball, and it fully unfurled at last.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Its body was small and round.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
The golden fur reflected the light, making it look like a tiny golden star had appeared.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Chu!”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
With a bright smile and tiny, pink-tinted hands spread wide, it beamed.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
For a moment, the entire space felt warmer and brighter.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Wow.”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Unconsciously, my mouth fell open at the sight of this creature, radiating both loveliness and cuteness.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
[The Guardian Contract of Chuchu, of the All-Purpose Collector Clan, Luminous Har, has been inherited]
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
At that moment, a system message appeared before my eyes.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Looks like its name is Chuchu.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
What about its level?
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
[Lv 145] [Luminous Har Clan] [Chuchu]
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Whoa…”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
This one’s level is no joke either.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
If I hadn’t just seen the level 251 Guardian, I might’ve fainted on the spot.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Heh…
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
This moment made me realize just how insanely high the levels of these Guardians really are.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Chu!”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Chuchu tilted its head, looking at me curiously, as if wondering why I seemed so dazed.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Yeah.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Let’s head out first.”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
I should introduce our new family member to Dania and Popo.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
***
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
In the forbidden lands of the northern hemisphere, ravaged by an extreme cold snap.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
A sense of immense silence and pressure spreads through the never-ending snowstorm.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Grrrrrrrrr—
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Kyaaaaah!
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Screeeech! Screeeech!
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Terrifying, banshee-like howls pierce through the blizzard.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
At the same time, the ground begins to tremble.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Thududududududu!
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“They’re coming!”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Damn it… Why did the wave have to start when the Grand Marshal is away?”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“We die here if we must! Pour your soul into defending this place until the Grand Marshal returns!”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Grr… Yeah. You only die once, right? Let’s do this!”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Aleksei Volkov.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
The superhumans directly under his Grand Marshal.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
They steeled themselves with a vow to fight to the death until Aleksei Volkov returned.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
The curtain rose on a battle where lives were on the line.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Krrrrrk…”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Guh!”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Kill them!!”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Growl!”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Aaaaargh!”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Damn it! Yoroko got his arm bitten off by Seollang!”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
The battlefield turned into chaos in an instant, with the screams of superhumans and monsters tangled together.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
The fierce fighting continued for several hours.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Huff… huff…”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Shit. I really might die here.”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“If I’d known it’d be like this, I would’ve visited my parents during my last vacation…”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Damn it! Why are you all acting like you’re about to die already? Just a little longer… Just hold out a little longer… The Grand Marshal will come!”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
The superhuman who shouted that glanced behind him.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
The inner fortress.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
The place where Aleksei Volkov was — it had now turned into a colossal ice fortress that engulfed even the stronghold.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
An extraordinary phenomenon never seen or heard of before.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
At first, everyone was worried for Aleksei’s safety, but soon they all reached the same conclusion:
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
– The Grand Grand Marshal must be surpassing the wall.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
What made them so sure?
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
The lingering chill of magical energy emanating from that ice fortress.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
It was the exact same signature as Aleksei’s mana.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
That’s why they believed — with absolute certainty.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
The moment that ice fortress shattered, they would witness a newly reborn Aleksei.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Of course, we’ll probably be dead before that happens.”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Harwei.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Aleksei’s right hand.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
He let out a dry laugh as he looked at his left leg, soaked in blood and unmoving.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Krrrrrrrr…”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
A chilling howl.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
It came from the massive Seollang leading this monster wave.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
That thing was the real problem.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
If it had been just a normal monster wave, they could’ve held it back for days without the Grand Marshal.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“The wave keeps getting stronger…”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Even if they managed to hold off this wave, there might be another one coming next time — one they’d be powerless against.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Still, they had to fight.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
They were humanity’s first line of defense against this nightmare.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
They had to hold out with everything they had.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
That was their duty.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Everyone, be prepare to die…..!”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Uhh!”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Oh, an Ice fortress!”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“……!!”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Their eyes widened.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
And then—
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Fwoooosh!!!
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
A pure white pillar of light erupted from the ice fortress and shot into the sky.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
BOOOOOM!!
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
The ice fortress shattered into pieces, and from its center emerged a superhuman radiating overwhelming presence.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“You’ve all done well.”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Aleksei Volkov.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
His voice now carried a depth of power never felt before.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
BOOM—!!!
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
With a single punch—
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
One-third of the monster wave in front of him was blown away.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
A truly earth-shaking display of power!!
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
The moment they witnessed that—
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Everyone understood.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Aleksei Volkov had ascended to the realm of the heavens — Level 80.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
***
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
That day,
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Breaking news spread rapidly across the world.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting

News that Aleksei had reached Lv 80 spread like wildfire.

<The Northern Hemisphere Aleksei Breaks, His Limits with the Public healing Oil Elixir of the Archmage Emperor! The Secret Behind Reaching Lv 80>
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
– Aleksei Volkov awakened as one of the Twelve Heavens thanks to the Arcane Elixir of the Archmage Emperor…
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
It was revealed that the secret behind his success was none other than Transparent Public healing Oil.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
<Aleksei Volkov Reaches Level 80 with the Magic Master’s Transparent Public healing Oil! The Superhuman World Is Stirring!>
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
The reason Aleksei Volkov was able to reach Level 80 and ascend to the Twelve Heavens was revealed to be Transparent Public healing Oil, sold by the mysterious Archmage Emperor.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
This incident has sparked a wave of speculation about the true identity of the Magic Master…
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
<Aleksei Volkov and Hong Seolhwa Reach Level 80. Was the Archmage Emperor Behind Them?>
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Aleksei Volkov, Guardian Deity of the Northern Hemisphere, successfully reached Level 80 with the help of the Archmage Emperor Behind.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
This has brought renewed attention to the case of Hong Seolhwa, who had also recently reached Level 80. She publicly stated that it was by the grace of the Archmage Emperor that she achieved that milestone…
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
The Archmage Emperor!
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
He’s the one who brought both Aleksei and Hong Seolhwa to Level 80!
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
The Wall of Magic — Level 80.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
A realm said to be reserved only for those chosen by the heavens!
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
And he helped people ascend to such a realm?
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
The Archmage Emperor… Is he a god?
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
ᄂWho exactly is the Archmage Emperor?
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
ᄂWhere can we find this Archmage Emperor?
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
ᄂI’ll buy any elixirs, herbs, or crops sold by the Archmage Emperor. I’ll pay double. If they’re in good condition, we can negotiate even higher. Please contact me.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
ᄂDoes anyone know how to receive an elixir from the Archmage Emperor?
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
………..
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Thus—
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
As word spread that the Archmage Emperor was behind Aleksei’s rise to Level 80, his name quickly became a hot topic across the entire superhuman world.

Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Meanwhile…
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Hey guys. Say hello. We’ve got a new member of the family.”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
I was introducing our newest family member to Dania and Popo.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Chuchu?”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Chuchu, snuggled in my arms, gently swayed her golden fur as it looked over at Dania and Popo.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Popo?”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Popo tilted its head.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Then—
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Chuchu?”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Chuchu copied him and tilted her head too.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Left tilt.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Right tilt.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
As if they were synchronized, they tilted in the same direction together.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
What the heck are these two doing?
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Were their vibes just that compatible?
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Chuchu!”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Chuchu leapt from my arms and trotted over to Popo.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Popo—!”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Popo greeted her with a smile shaped like ^_^.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
“Chuchu!!”
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Chuchu responded with an innocent smile of her own.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Aww, look at these cuties getting along so well.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
By the way, Chuchu’s ability… she’s a forager, right? What kind of things can it gather?
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Could it possibly gather things from outside the rare zone?
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
If it can collect seeds of something like Seondo, that’d be a massive win.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
I glanced over at the sprouting Seondo.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Whoa! It’s already grown to the size of my forearm.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
「Immortal Peach (Seondo), LV 36]
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
Level 36 already.
Escaped\nNewlines\tTabsAnd\BackslashesForTesting
I thought I was leveling up fast, but compared to that growth speed, I’ve got nothing to brag about.
