Chapter 174 How to evolve
Kye furrowed his brow, trying his best to come up with a plausible explanation. And god knew he wasn't a good liar. "They haven't given me direct instructions per se, but they've shown me glimpses of something. It was like, I think, something to do with fighting monsters? Like the more monsters I'll fight, the closer I'll be to my evolution. Though it's only my interpretation. I can be completely wrong."
Aria and Ras exchanged thoughtful glances, considering Kye's interpretation of his dreams. The idea of fighting monsters to trigger an evolution was both intriguing and challenging. It seemed like a strange path to follow, but it also offered a glimmer of hope.
Aria spoke first, her voice filled with determination. "If that's what your dreams are hinting at, Kye, then we should take it seriously. However, there is a problem. I doubt that you're strong enough to kill any monsters here in Nebula. At least not alone or while sustaining a lot of damage. So one of us might have to go with you to ensure your safety when you fight and when you will evolve."
Kye nodded, understanding Aria's concern. However, while it was indeed hard for him to fight any monsters on this planet at the moment as he was still too weak, he still wanted to go alone. After all, what better training than to be on the brink of death before winning? 'I might have a screw lose...'
"Thanks for your concern, Aria, but I don't want to bother any of you right now," Kye said. "While I know that it will be hard, I still need to go alone to get stronger. I won't go far if you guys babysit me, right?" He chuckled. "And you have a lot to do on your side already. I'm sure that finding any information about my state would already be hard enough, so you really don't need to worry about me at the moment."
Aria and Ras exchanged glances, clearly torn between their concern for Kye's safety and their respect for his decision. While they knew that Kye was strong, it was still dangerous for him to be alone when he was clearly weaker than any monsters on the planet.
"Kye, we understand your determination," Ras spoke up with a touch of hesitation. "But it's too dangerous, even for you. It's not about babysitting, it's about supporting you and ensuring your safety."
"But-..." Kye tried to say, but he was quickly shut down by Ras.
"There's no but, Kye. I'll come with you while Aria will search for more information. She has a greater reach than I in this anyway, so I'll be useless to her."
Kye looked at Ras, a mix of gratitude and concern in his eyes. He knew Ras was determined to support him, but he couldn't shake the feeling that he was putting his friend in an unnecessary situation. "Ras, I appreciate your willingness to come with me, but I don't want to force you. I'm sure you're already busy as it is, there's no point in you doing coming with me."
"What do you mean there's no point?" Ras' eyes twitched. "Can't I spend some time with my friend? God, I didn't know you wanted to push me away so badly."
Seeing this, Aria sighed as she knew what Ras was doing. Kye was weak to those words, and the look on his face said it all. He couldn't refute him anymore.
"Sigh if you think like this I can't stop you then."
Ras smirked in victory, having successfully played the emotional card. He clapped Kye on the shoulder with a friendly grin. "That's settled then. We're in this together, buddy. And don't worry about me being busy. You're more important than some paperwork, and even then I'll make the time."
Aria chuckled, shaking her head at their antics. "You two are something else. But seriously, Kye, we're here because we want to help you as friends, not because we want something from you." She patted his head. "So stop being so down, okay?" 𝖎𝔫𝖓𝖗𝔢𝖆𝔡.𝔠𝔬𝖒
Kye nodded his head with a blush, which almost made both Aria and Ras burst out laughing. They had a hard time keeping their mouth shut. "I'll try my best."
With the matter settled and a plan in place, Kye, Ras, and Aria began to prepare for the challenges that lay ahead. They knew that their journey would be fraught with danger, but they also had each other's unwavering support and determination to see it through.
As they gathered their gear and made final arrangements, Kye couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude for his friends. They had stood by him through thick and thin, and now, they were embarking on a quest to help him control his powers.
With renewed determination and a hint of excitement, Kye looked at Ras and Aria and said, "Thank you, both of you, for being here for me. I really don't know what I would have become if it wasn't for the both of you."
"Oh come on, Kye, you'll make us cry if you continue."
"But I swear, I don't know what I would have done if not for your help."
Ras clapped Kye on the back, his voice filled with playfulness and a hint of amusement. "Well then if you're grateful, how about a kiss?"
*Slap*
"Aria why did you slap me!?" Ras had tears forming in his eyes.
"Stop teasing him. You know he'll do anything to repay us, so stop your dumb request. And we're here to support him, not to make fun of him."
Ras rubbed his stinging back and chuckled. "Alright, alright, I deserved that. No more teasing, I promise."
Kye couldn't help but laugh at their interactions, grateful for the lighthearted moments amidst the seriousness of the situation. He was really scared of the future at the moment, but maybe with such friends, things would get different.
Their friendship had always been a source of strength for him, but it was even more the case now than ever.
