Chapter 75: Order Of Power (2/2)
"She's thirteen!" I groaned as I fell back on the soft grass-like moss
"Al gaze back towards Tessia
"I'irl would've been devastated if she found out you hadn't made it" He paused
"…And thank you for saving eon, and now" Virion's voice grew softer, al, as he said this
"What hter, Gra randfather's intuition With your abilities, I know that if you only thought of yourself, you wouldn't have ended up in dangerous situations like these So again, thank you" The sincerity in his voice was confiret so serious like that all of a sudden, you're scaringGrandpa Virion
"So when did you get back? Your faht?" Graht and even spent some time with my family earlier today…"
Silence hovered between us for a few seconds before I spoke again
"Gramps, I'm sorry I-I should've rushed back I just assumed that she'd be fine once she woke up since she crossed the last leg of assieon If I had known things could go wrong like this, I would've rushed here as soon as I got back" I turned back to look at Virion, al with Sylvia's beast will, I re to le from the beast will before the assimilation was completely over, how that was normal…
I should've prepared for the worst… I alht scared me a lot more than I would've ever believed possible in my past life
"Your parents probably had their fair shares of worries raising you, huh?" Unexpectedly, Grandpa Virion let out a soft chortle
"Wha… yeah, I guess," I responded, thrown off by his sudden question
"You did good in going to your family first Tessia has her family to take care of her she's not alone, you know You probably thought of this when you decided to spend the day with them Your family probably needed you to be there for theet that and don't be sorry that you spent that much needed tily
I didn't knohat to say I was thankful that he kneell enough without needing an explanation, or an excuse
Again, a tranquil silence hung over us until I finally got around to asking the question that had been clawing the back of my mind
"Hey, Gramps… how aze focused on Sylvie, who ended up falling asleep, curled up next to Tess
"…The Six Lances? Why the sudden curiosity?" Virion asked after a while
I didn't respond
"What exactly do you want to know about theare they?" After a bit of thought, I started off with a siated breath "Brat, let ine white core an calculating how e Since it took roughly around twenty solid-yellow core e, would it take less silver core e… or was the power level increase exponential?
"I'm not really sure, Gramps," I finally said, defeated
"To ure ofyou this, but I'hly around ten ofoptimistic" Grandpa Virion let out a chortle
"Ten of you…" I h-silver Even after being generous, it would take around six or seven of her to keep one ed as he spoke
"…"
I couldn't i able to defeat that many Virions or Goodskys Perhaps if I were to release the second phase of ht be barely able to contend with three Grampa Virions, however, the drawback would be treet it… where did these abnorures come frodo or queen can give the the royal fahtering the to overnment systeht—by strength alone, the Six Lances, or any white core dolanced over at Tess to
"Before I say anything more, this will need to be kept an absolute secret fronorant of these rather… dark matters… at least until she's older" Grandpa Virion had a tender shter
"Mm I'll keep it a secret" I nodded
"I'll explain where they cath of each one of the Six Lances… They are now above that of regular white core hted, es" Gramps spoke with a faraway, peaceful expression
"Huh? That makes no sense…" I was about to rebut
"Brat, do you think the royal family, without any major powerhouses in line for the throne, could stay in power since the beginning of the three kingdoms?" His peaceful expression disappeared as he peered at s
He continued, "This is classified information shared only to the royal fa you because, somehow, I know you'll need this information in the future and I know you'll be able to handle it…"
He let out a heavy sigh that seemed to contain a bit of his very soul
"Do you believe in deities?"
