After they calmed down the man looking like a king and the father of Aroa came to Klaus and said
"We are too grateful to you Sir Klaus... I don't have any ways to repay you for this..."
Klaus looked at him and said "Don't worry about those things here, just spend your time with the family..."
After Klaus said that the man became much more emotional and said "I, the ruler of all dragons, Syrax along with my wife Kaida promised to repay you one day at any cost!"
The mother of Aroa also nodded from the back with tears in her eyes
After saying that the man returned to his daughter, Klaus just stood there with a slight heartfelt smile on face
'There are only a dozen times a man cries in his entire life especially if he's a father... Whenever he cries the moment, it is extremely sad or happy,
Being the reason for those tears seems much more soothing and relaxing than most of things I have felt in this world...'
After a few minutes Mulan also approached Klaus and said
"I have no words to say... After losing almost all my friends I only had this family remaining here
And after losing my granddaughter that day while still being alive I felt like dying for another time in this world, I was broken from the soul
But you not only did you revive our Leader but my Granddaughter too... Ask me anything anytime sir, this Mulan will do anything for you!"
Klaus smiled and next day decided to leave the place along with his fairies and Elena, Klaus was immediately provided with the last 2 strengthening techniques of world too
[Congratulations on receiving '7 Gate Life Element _ Internal Strengthening Technique!']
[Congratulations on receiving 'Ruler's Mind _ Mind Strengthening Technique!']
"Visit again!!!"
Klaus heard Uther inviting him again with a heavy and guilty heart,
'Oohhh mannnn~ I don't know what kind of reaction he will show when I return here asking him to give his sister back to me...'
Klaus felt extremely guilty seeing all those happy faces of the dragon family and didn't dared to meet their gazes
But still next moment Klaus took out a lot of things from his storage and gave it all to Aroa
First Klaus tossed a badge followed by various kinds of permission scrolls, authority permissions, maps, and treasures
"With this one you can visit Asensa Islands anytime, this one for giving permission to travel all over the Empire just don't come there in Dragon form
This one for authority inside the Empire and this one for.?-"
After giving all of them to Aroa, Klaus turned back with teary eyes and stone face and opened a portal back home
As Klaus turned back Aroa also seemed to be filled with tears, next moment Klaus walked right inside the portal with tears in his straight face along with Elena and fairies
As he did that rivers of tears rushed out from Aroa's eyes too, it seemed like the scene of a story where the protagonist and heroine get separated for a little time
Meaning- Fucking Over Dramatic
The portal of Klaus opened right in the yard of Whiteblood Family mansion at the Captial,
As soon as Klaus came out next moment Klaus noticed Bucky standing right in front of his face with its tongue out
Klaus was welcomed with a big lick to his face, all the sadness and guilt of Klaus got drowned away by that saliva
"Hahaha! Dammit! You really got me a good man! Been a while!"
Klaus immediately hugged Bucky with a bright face and started rubbing his neck with a big grin on face
It didn't take much time for Ains and Ashia to arrive at the place, Klaus looked at them and said with wide grin
"I'm back guys!"
Ains and Ashia nodded with smiles on their faces, next moment Ain replied with a grin
"Well guess your adventurers end now..."
Klaus nodded but suddenly his eyes widened with realisation as he shouted
"Adventures!?! I almost forgot about the adventure guild!?! It's already been years since I reported to the Guild!?!"
As Klaus said that another portal appeared right in front of him and he said
"You guys prepare a bath! I will go report things to the adventurers guild here first!!!"
As Klaus said the next moment Klaus's hair and eyes started changing to Silver again red again and the whole combat suit along with a mask appeared on his face
Klaus appeared in the middle of Adventurers Guild in the Capital with his portal and no one could even sense him
As soon as Klaus came there he immediately spotted Sania commanding various other staffs of guild with glasses in get eyes
Klaus smiled and went directly to the table nearest to Sania and said
"I want to report my adventurers card!"
Sania didn't even glance and just said "On to the next counter..."
Klaus still stood there and said "Why will I go to another counter when my exclusive receptionist is here?"
As Klaus said that suddenly the eyes of Sania shined and her eyes moved towards Klaus
The eyes met with each other again after almost a decade, Sania was emotional but a big smile appeared on her face and she took Klaus's Adventurers Card with a smile
Everyone present there finally noticed Klaus's presence and stared at his direction with surprised gazes
"The Deity of Death!?!!"
"He came back after all these years!?"
"Where has he gone all these years!?!"
"My God! This is the biggest news of the year!!!"
The whole adventurers guild suddenly turned into chaos but the chaos had just started
Sania's hands trembled as the card came back from the recording machine and just like last time the words still escaped her mouth
"SSS Rank... Strongest Adventurer..."
Klaus heard her and looked at her just like the first time when her mouth betrayed her job and said
"When will you start understanding the rules of your job fool?"
Sania had slight tears in her eyes remembering the whole feeling of nostalgia
"Guess habits don't go so early..."
These somehow started feeling like a normal conversation between long separated friends but Adventurers Guild was now truly filled with Chaos
"Did I hear it right!!!!"
"SSS Rank!?! Are you sure the machine isn't broken??!"
"What's this bullshit!?!"
"How is that even possible??! How many decades has it been since he registered!?!"
All adventurers started shouting loudly next moment Great Guildmaster came down from his office and took the Adventurers Guild Card of Klaus with a smirk on his face
"Guess you can't hide his identity anymore heh~? You remember right this rank was made for the 'Hero', you don't expect us to hide your identity right?"
Klaus stared at him with sharp eyes, even the Great Guildmaster felt shivers but he still didn't back off
Klaus just sighed and replied "Well my hardcore Adventurer Time has already ended and I'm not protagonist to keep secret hidden identities..."
As Klaus said that he removed the hood from his head and the mask also disappeared
His eyes and hair returned to the original Golden Flame like hairs and feel blue ocean like eyes
Klaus snatched his adventures card back with a grin of satisfaction on his face

"But how does this even work, I'm sure I never accepted any quests here..."
Hearing Klaus's question Great Guildmaster grinned and replied
"Don't underestimate the Mythical Grade Artifact made by the 'Bofur', Dwarf of Myth!!! All Adventurer cards above S Grade are made by that artifact to keep check on monsters they kill
Even if you hide the corpses of those centipedes this artifact can record everything
Can't believe you even went to sea to slay Leviathan from legends through..."
Klaus heard him and looked slightly surprised and thought 'Bofur hah? Well if he made this it does make sense to be over powered
And guess my theory from the novel was true, in the story when Reus managed to kill one of the centipedes attacking the city of the tournament it was considered a quest but of course he didn't receive any money there
On top of that there were also things like demotivation, and shit to make him mature shit
But that dumb bitch stayed dumb till the end! Sigh~ no use thinking anymore...'
Klaus looked at the crowd gathering at the place and asked his last question "What Rank is Reus?"
The Grand Guildmaster looked a little surprised but still replied "S Rank, he will be becoming SS in about 11 months, he is the leader of the party named 'Leaf Dawn' that recently became S Rank made up of his friends..."
Klaus nodded and disappeared from the place, after just a few hours chaos spread all over the capital and the world
Klaus had become first SSS Rank adventurer in centuries, Klaus immediately became the talk of world after just first day of returning from long hardcore adventurers
On the other hand Klaus just returned to his mansion and directly went to bath to ease up his mind after years
