Chapter 873 Return



Chapter 873 Return

A few weeks later.

“Take this on, Grandfather.” Noel smiled while waving both hands.

The black fire in both hands joined together and formed a huge phoenix. Unlike the previous Undying Phoenix, this one had more stability and energy in it.

Raincart was satisfied with the progress and clapped his hands. “Talk big, aren’t you?”

A huge ice crystal appeared right beneath the phoenix, completely covering it. However, the phoenix refused to be frozen and spread its fire, melting the ice at an extreme rate.

But the ice crystal erupted once again, forming a giant crystal. The phoenix was supposed to have no chance of freeing itself.

However, the current Noel was different from what he was a few weeks ago.

“Rise.” Noel twitched his finger up.

The phoenix rounded up and changed its shape to an egg. This created a hollow gap within the ice.

The egg cracked open and let out a second burst of fire that could only happen because of the hollow gap within the ice. This eruption was much stronger and broke the ice. 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Still, as one would expect from Raincart, he reinforced the ice at the last minute. Ultimately, there was only one hole appearing on top of the ice crystal, releasing all that fire like a volcano.

“Tsk.” Noel clicked his tongue. “As expected, I’m still not his match. To think that he would give a channel to vent all that explosion…”

“No, you should be proud of yourself that I have to be creative like that. You’ve got much stronger, Noel.” Raincart was satisfied with his performance. A few weeks ago, there was no way Noel’s phoenix could create a second eruption like that.

Despite having to teach Livia and Tristan, Noel used the rest of his time to have complete mastery over his fire.

“How is your progress? Have you mastered the fire?”

“I still feel that I have a long way to go.” Noel shook his head.

Both of them began to walk toward each other. Raincart patted Noel’s shoulders while saying, “That’s good. Because it means you can get even stronger from now on. Although I can’t directly help you anymore, just notify me if you need anything. Just like the others, you are my pride.”

Noel wanted to tear up. Raincart had been the most caring grandfather in the past few weeks. He might be strict when training him, but he always took care of him after he was exhausted and even managed his time to get a proper rest.

He truly couldn’t thank him enough.

“Grandfather. Come to my house once you have free time. I’m going to give you a big surprise.”

“Is that so? I’m looking forward to it.”

Noel lowered his head and said, “I know that this won’t be enough to thank you, Grandfather. However, if you need anything from me, please don’t hesitate to ask. I’ll do my best to help you.”

“Why are you being so sentimental? You are going to return to the Muivell Kingdom, right? Just go.”

Noel straightened his back and nodded. “In that case, I will be going, Grandfather. Please take care.”

“Yeah.” Raincart waved his hand, watching Noel walk away. Tristan, Sandra, and Livia had been waiting for him along with the luggage. Because of Noel and Livia, they were being escorted by the Ezenholm Family, and the Royal Family had even secured the route.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man came to Raincart, saying, “It’s sad that he is leaving now. You looked like you’re enjoying your time with him, Father.”

“Yeah. But he belongs to the other side… and I’m not going to selfishly restrict him in this place. Even the Muivell Kingdom isn’t enough to contain him. So, let the bird… no, the dragon soars into the sky.” Raincart glanced to the side. “Don’t feel inferior. You have your own path, so stick with it.”

“I understand. In that case, as the head of the Ezenholm Family, I shall escort him to the Muivell Kingdom.”

“Oh? Such an important person is going to escort my grandson to the Muivell Kingdom?”

“What are you saying? I’m his uncle. Besides, he has given us a lot of things, so the least I can do is to ensure no harm can be done.”

“Haha. Just go.” Raincart chuckled. Although he wanted to escort him personally, he had enough fill in the past few weeks. It was better for someone else to do it. He could only look at the group while waving his hand until he couldn’t see them anymore.

Still, he would be lying if he wasn’t sad. Just like his son said, he had a great time with Noel. The feeling of having someone absorbing all the knowledge and putting it into practice was exhilarating, but it was time for them to part.

“If you don’t know what to do as a noble, you can come to me… I know very well how hard it is to be a noble. Just keep moving forward; I know you can do it.” Raincart closed his eyes, recalling all the memories he had with Noel. He said, “Leysha has given birth to a good kid.”

Noel also regretted that he couldn’t stay any longer. There were a lot of things he wanted to talk about with his grandfather. His techniques might be better, but he was still not satisfied with the current progress.

However, there was an even more important matter in the Muivell Kingdom. He had finally taken the first step in order to regain everything back.

He returned for the sake of becoming a noble.

The journey took three days.

Since they had almost arrived in Noel’s homeland, Noel’s students started to get anxious. Tristan and Sandra remained silent, but they were holding each other’s hand, wondering if they would have to go through the same thing as the one in the Atracaeca Kingdom.

On the other hand, Livia managed to remain a bit calmer and asked about what would happen as soon as they reached the Muivell Kingdom. “Teacher. Where are we going to go after this?”

Noel thought it was normal for Livia to be worried, considering he wasn’t a noble yet. Without any place, she might have to consider their condition.

“No need to worry. You all are going to stay with Dimitri later. But for now, I’m going back to the Demon Relief Squad.”

“Demon Relief Squad? Didn’t you say that you’re going to become a noble with a different squad?”

“Yeah. But the Demon Relief Squad had been taking care of me this whole time. While I couldn’t repay their kindness, I would at least thank them for taking care of me. Only after that will I go with the Demon Hunting Squad… They should have been waiting for me.” Noel explained.

“I see. Where will we meet Dimitri then?”

“Ah, that. You will find out soon.” Noel chuckled. “In any case, it’s not going to take too long. We should be able to move to our new home in about two weeks.”

“I understand.” Livia nodded with a serious expression.

“I just want to tell you a few things. First of all, I’m going to protect you to the best of my ability, but I’m sure that the enemies are going to come at me. There will be a lot of strong people, so I’m afraid that my hands will be occupied.”

“No need to worry, Teacher. My Father has told me that he will be dispatching Damian to stand by right outside the boulder. Although he can’t enter the kingdom, I should be safe as soon as I leave the territory.”

Noel nodded in agreement. “And this is the second thing. As my student, I’m not going to treat you differently from Tristan, no matter your background. However, I can assure you that I’ll give you all the knowledge about runes. Just remember our agreement.”

“I know.”

“Then, you are going to be helping me with the Rune Body. So, you might end up—” Noel paused for a moment, unsure whether he should tell this or not. After all, a princess having to look at the knight’s naked body could be considered vulgar.

However, Livia actually chuckled. “You don’t have to worry about that. I have seen plenty of knights due to my position. I might need some time to get used to it, but I’m also curious about the effect of this so-called Rune Body.”

“Good.” Noel was satisfied with her response before raising a finger. “One last thing. Since there will be a lot of future cooperation between me and your country, you’ll be handling most of the stuff.”

“Understood. Leave it to me.” Livia nodded without hesitation.

“Alright then.” Noel waved his hand, noticing that they were near the border. He took a peek outside and saw the border with a man standing right before them.

As soon as their gaze met, the man bowed his head and said, “Welcome back, Master.”

Noel couldn’t contain his smile and waved his hand. “I’m back, Dimitri.”
