บท 521: Open A Gate [Bonus chapter]

"I will be heading to Umbra to search for Alwin," Ferdinand informed her, and Arabella gulped.

She couldn't tell him to go so easily after she had that dream. She wanted Alwin to be found soon too. But how long would Ferdinand be gone? 

Didn't Raymond say that the time in Umbra was flowing differently?

. . .

From Arabella's dream, she learned this already happened in her previous life. Since Alwin returned then without Ferdinand going to Umbra, it meant Alwin may be able to return here without Ferdinand having to head there as well.

From what she could understand from her dream and what she learned from her memories of the past, Raymond may have gone to Umbra to find Alwin but did not find him. Alwin returned on his own later when the war in Valeria had fully erupted and Ferdinand was already dead in his human body.

Alwin himself said it took so long. Several years to be exact.
