Chương 317: Project Athena 

"Finally, it's done," Thirteen muttered as he looked at the nearly transparent Dragon Scale in front of him.

He had just finished imbuing it with Rune Magic, and with that, all his hard work over the past three years was finally over.

The teenage boy hummed a tune as he placed it inside a container. 

Once he was sure that the dozen Dragon Scales he had modified were secured in place, he started to inflate the special balloon, which he had prepared beforehand, until it was ready to go.

As the balloon rose toward the sky, the sun peeked over the horizon and bathed the world in the light of a new day.

Thirteen watched as the balloon's silhouette turned smaller and smaller until it was only a dot in the sky. Soon, this dot also vanished, making him sigh in relief.

Tiona, who was coiled around his neck, nudged his cheek as if congratulating him for a job well done.
