Chapter 171: I Tried

Dyon stared at the young man kneeling before him, confusion coloring his features. He had obviously not heard the conversation between Ava and her father, so he had no way of knowing that Arios was presumed to be alive. But, even if he had known, that would do little to reduce his confusion and surprise.

However, that was the least of the issues here. How the hell did Ava's brother end up in a Legacy World that should have existed for thousands of years?

Suddenly, Dyon noticed something and snapped out of it. He walked forward, immediately and almost forcefully helping Arios up.

"Get up, I don't need you all to kneel for me."

After he was satisfied, Dyon's size finally reduced. Although his muscles ached a bit, he was glad to see that he handled the stress of the technique much better now. He had been holding back from proceeding to the second stage of the technique's first layer, but it seemed his body might be ready for it now.
