Chapter 309: Remembering Old Bonds

The tempestuous winds and heavy rain battered the remnants of the island, but the trio stood unwavering. Merina, Isola, and Ceti stood close, their faces illuminated by the eerie glow of the storm, gazes fixed on the ominous depths below where Asher disappeared.

"He truly knows no fear at all!" Ceti's worried and frustrated voice pierced through the echoes of the rain. She knew he took it because of his desperation to get the Deviar when only 3 more days were left for the quest to end.

She couldn't understand why he desperately wanted to get strong so quickly when with his potential, he would definitely reach the peak faster than any other genius.

But even now, after he managed to complete the mini-quest, they were still far from having the required number of shards. 

Merina's hands were clasped tight, eyes shimmering with unshed tears, fear and hope vying for dominance in her gaze.
