Chapter 740: Chapter 740 - A Promise to Return
Broken stood in the dimly lit room, his breathing ragged as he gripped the spear tightly in his hands. Around him lay the scattered corpses of monsters, their forms slowly disintegrating into shimmering pixels that faded into the air.
He had faced this trial almost every day, using every moment he could to train. And now, finally, he had conquered the 10th floor.
[Congratulations! You have successfully cleared the Tower of Trials 10th Floor.]
[...]
[You have achieved an S score!]
[You have earned the reward: 1 Gatestone.]
Broken reached out and took the item that had materialized before him. At last, he had the Gatestone in his grasp! After all the grueling effort of climbing through the floors of this trial, he had finally earned it.
With this Gatestone, he could set a new gate in the capital city of the Dissidia Kingdom. It meant he could now travel instantly between Slumdon and the capital, a feat that would save him from the long, arduous journeys he had endured before.
If anything major happened again, he wouldn't need to spend endless hours covering the distance just to be there. This newfound convenience also brought him peace of mind. He could leave Alora behind in the capital, knowing she'd be safe, while he ventured far away for what might be a long time.
On a previous floor, Broken had obtained the Moonlight Passkey, an item he could give to someone and invite them into his Moonlight Dimension. However, he had deliberately kept the passkey for the time being, pondering carefully about who would benefit most from receiving it.
His thoughts inevitably circled back to Ivana. He knew that if he could secure both Alora and Ivana in the Moonlight Dimension during emergencies, it would be a significant advantage. This decision weighed heavily on him, but it only confirmed what he already knew-his next steps were clear.
The time had come for Broken to leave the capital and embark on his journey.
Stepping out of the tower, he found himself outside, where Alora stood waiting with her striking red hair. She approached him with a calm grace, and without hesitation, Broken wrapped his arms around her, holding her tightly.
This had become a habit for him whenever he was with Alora. In her embrace, he found comfort-a solace that eased the burdens he carried.
It felt as if all his exhaustion and the tension in his mind melted away the moment he held her close.
It was something entirely new to him, this warmth he had only discovered after settling into life in the capital. Each day was consumed by endless tasks, and each night brought the quiet intimacy of spending time with the queen.
They released each other from the embrace, their hands naturally intertwining as they began walking out of the dimly lit chamber. As they exited the area, Cecilia's form appeared, hovering gracefully nearby.
"I've obtained the Gatestone," Broken announced.
The knights lined up in perfect formation, their armor gleaming as the Carriage began to move. As one, they raised their voices in a powerful chant, their words echoing through the
air:
"For the Sovereign and the Realm!"
Broken's journey to Deadbay City had a clear purpose: to complete the Golem Ship, a vessel he intended to use not only for his expedition to the West Continent but also for journeys far
beyond that.
The world of Yunatea was vast, with countless continents yet to be explored. Even with all he had seen and done, there was still so much left undiscovered. Yet, with the meticulous preparations he had made, he felt a newfound confidence to face what lay ahead.
His first mission was to locate Ivana. Despite Maylock and the others' persistent efforts to track her down, her whereabouts remained a mystery. This unresolved matter weighed on him, and as he thought about her, his mind drifted back to a conversation they had shared.
It was a quiet moment, the two of them seated together on this very Crawling Carriage. The memory played vividly in his mind, a bittersweet reminder of her presence and the bond between them.
Ivana had laughed softly, her voice warm and genuine, as they were discussing Broken's plan to take her to the West Continent. She had been searching for the place marked on the bracelet
she always wore.
"You're laughing at me again," Broken had said.
"Yes," Ivana had replied. "Because you're so funny."
"You laugh at everything, though. Even the most boring things somehow turn into jokes with
you." "That's true... but with you, it's different. You don't just make me laugh-you're actually fun
to be around."
"Was that a compliment?"
"Do you really doubt the sincerity of my words, Broken?"
Recalling that moment, Broken reaffirmed his resolve with determination.
No matter what I have to do, no matter who I have to face-Ivana, I will find you!
