Chương 46: 46)To protect those close to me.

"So you comprehended the rest of weapon aura in less than a few days and you traveled to the central region to get stronger and while doing so KILLED the Guardian alone and somehow managed to tame this beast and you've also met with...The Night." Pythia said in disbelief.

"Oh and Noctis is a creature of Chaos, apparently Nyx found him while traveling," Night casually added.

"C-ccreature of C-chao-s... CHILD DONT YOU TAKE THOSE NAMES HERE, *sigh* there's a reason I called her The Night. But a creature of Chaos... this is a mess, for now, it's alright as this Noctis of yours isn't strong enough to alert the Divine beings yet but once he grows, they'll be aware."

"I've been wondering just what is this 'Chaos' ?" Night asked, confusing them with his ignorance once again.

Pythia continued to explain 'what Chaos is' and why creatures that are born from chaos are extremely dangerous.

Chaos or Khaos, the first of the Primordial Beings that preceded the creation of the universe. Father to the Primordial Beings and the strongest of them all but as time passed by Chaos had become a space where 'Beings' that hold extraordinary power lay dormant or rest when Divine beings are 'killed' their soul continues to lay dormant in the 'Chaos'.

Night looked at Noctis while he processed the information, Noctis on the other hand couldn't understand what was being told so when Night was looking at him he rubbed his head onto Night's hand.

"Well, that's that. There's only one thing to do now," Night said as he got up from his seat.

"I see, you understand then, it certainly is hard, letting go of a pet is never easy..." Pythia said while looking down.

The others in the room including Cassandra and Noel and the King of Vraun never said a thing, they were sad as well, they didn't want Night to be targetted by the Divine beings but at the same time, they wanted him to be happy.

"You misunderstand me, Great Oracle, the only thing left to do now is to get strong enough so I can kill any being that intends to hurt those close to me, be it a Divine being or not, I will slay anything that touches those dear to me, whether its Noctis or Shade or anyone from the royal family of Vraun, I'll hunt them down without a second thought," Night announced as he looked to his master and said, " Master, I must return to Aeternum, I'll take my leave then, thank you all for your kindness," he said before turning around and leaving.

"He-he left? Noel, your so- disciple... he's making the same mistake you did... he's trying to go against Divine beings...it isn't my place to stop him but you can... "

"No," Noel said with a smile. All this time he was still processing the fact that Night comprehended weapon aura in a few days. He was surprised to hear about his new aura and his encounters but he could only worry, Night reminded him so much of himself...

"Brat now isn't the time to make a fuss, you've already failed to protect Damia-"

"ENOUGH- don't you dare go there. I understand that he's similar to me but do you really think I'm the same as him? he was chosen by a Primordial, his comprehension skills and combat skills are heavenly..... if I had even an inch of his potential...," before he could finish tears fell from his eyes, " I could still save Damianos...so don't even think of stopping MY DISCIPLE, I'll make sure he reaches the level of strength he desires.. even if it kills me." he said as he stormed off.

"Val, where do you think this Oracle is?" Aurora asked but before she could get an answer notifications popped up for all of them.

[You are being watched by an unknown being]

[Half your stats and skills are revealed]

[As long as player is within the watch of the unknown being, all damage dealt is reduced by 10%]

"HAH? what the f*ck was that?" Leo screamed.

"Well, isn't this a pleasant surprise, ahaha and I'm assuming you guys are being watched by 'an unknown being' haha," Night said as he approached them.

"Hah, well not all of us are as great as Player Night" Mocha teased.

"Bah, anyway, y'all took your time coming here, besides what were you trying to achieve by coming here?" Night asked as he raised his eyebrow.

"Well, we were supposed to meet some Oracle for a quest... but all we were told is to come to Vraun," Layla said while slightly frowning

Night couldn't stop smiling as he was surprised by the coincidence, "Alright then consider this a favor for not getting in my way during my fight with the Guardian, follow me"

Initially, they couldn't spot Noctis as he was still a child and was quite shy, so Noctis was used to hiding behind Night's head but Night turned around revealing a Noctis that was clinging onto Night's head.

"NIGHT, CAREFUL," the group said at once as they equipped their weapons, naturally this scared Noctis who wasn't looking for a fight, Noctis now flew away and jumped into Night's arms.

"Woah guys, chill, my bad my bad, this is Noctis, I'm surprised yall didn't notice already? it's the same beast from the forest. " Night said as he tickled Noctis.

Immediately they unequipped their weapons and apologized while bowing but Aurora was too captivated by how cute Noctis was. She didn't even equip her weapons to begin with, "c-can I hold him?" she asked Night.

"Hmm sure if he's okay with it, anyway follow me it's getting late." Night said as he turned around, Noctis however was now looking at Aurora as it flew around Night's head.

Aurora held her hand out to see if Noctis would react in any way, though he was hesitant at first Noctis flew into Aurora's arms as it growled in happiness.
