บท 351: The Soulmonger

Aldrich spoke up. "Open door 40A and 35B."

In response, the helper A.I. for the control tower responded, sliding open a section of the thick, bullet and bombproof glass wall. It also opened another similar door on the 35th floor, where Volantis and Chrysa were.

'Volantis, come up to the fortieth floor,' said Aldrich. 'I have to make an outing.'

'Understood, Armored,' said Volantis. His voice trailed off as he talked to someone else. 'And remember, little one, breathing is key. Holding in a breath at the core of your being will make you strong. Keep that up, and you will best your father in no time!'

Volantis was Chrysa's babysitter, basically, when Aldrich and Valera had other matters to tend to, which ended up being quite often. Her combat trainer, too, as he taught her how to control her spatial affinity mana and create a Shaping style around it.

By this point, Chrysa saw Volantis so often she called him her uncle, a point of pride that Volantis cherished.
