Vol. 6 Ch. 70

“A few days ago, while your father and I were searching for the Five Spirit Crown, we encountered this Void Realm warrior named Kaizer.”

Cecilia continued,

“He’s incredibly strong, to the point where he almost defies our understanding. Even when we gave it our all, we couldn’t stop him from taking the Wind Spirit Crystal.”

For Leon and Rosvisser, who had dared to search for the Five Spirit Crown and the crystals alone over the past few centuries, this was an indication of their considerable strength.

If they had no ability to handle such crises, how could they possibly protect the Samail Continent?

Yet even so, when faced with Kaizer, Cecilia and her husband couldn’t win—the Wind Spirit Crystal was taken from them.

If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.

This made it clear that Kaizer, the so-called "strongest Void Realm warrior," was no empty title.

Leon was silently analyzing Kaizer’s strength.

But Isha was more concerned with another matter.

“Then… what about Father? Was he injured during the battle with Kaizer?”

The sisters had only seen Cecilia during this call for help, but had yet to see their father.

This naturally made them worry and feel uncertain.

Seeing her daughters' anxious expressions, Cecilia quickly reassured them,

“Don’t worry, he’s fine, very safe. Although we lost to Kaizer, at least we managed to secure the Earth Spirit and Water Spirit Crystals. Your father is currently relocating them to a safer and more secure place.”

Hearing this, the Melkvey sisters let out a sigh of relief.

As long as their father was safe, they could relax.

“So, what you’re saying is, we now have two crystals, one is in the hands of the Void Realm, and there are two others scattered around?” Leon asked.

Cecilia nodded. “Yes, the Lightning and Fire Spirits have not been found yet.”

She paused before continuing,

“And the crown itself is still missing.”

At this point, she sighed,

“For these past few centuries, our search for the crown and crystals has been slow, and the Wind Spirit Crystal we finally found was taken from us. Now, with the Void Gate on the verge of collapse, they’ve sent many elite warriors to stop us, forcing us to come back and seek help.”

Isha’s mind started turning, and she asked,

“Why didn’t you come for help sooner, Mother?”

“This is a very long-term task. It can’t be completed in just one day.”

Cecilia replied,

“You’re Dragon Kings, you can’t simply abandon your duties to go around the world helping us.”

“Also, the fewer people who know about the gods' relics, the better. After all, these powerful artifacts have caused disputes across many continents and have entangled numerous factions.”

“Not all races share the same unity when it comes to defending against external threats. There are plenty who are eager to claim the rewards for themselves.”

Cecilia’s explanation aligned closely with what Leon and Rosvisser had discussed before.

Powerful divine artifacts like the Five Spirit Crown could easily cause chaos if they fell into the wrong hands.

“Instead of letting that happen, it’s better to work from the shadows, becoming a savior quietly completing this monumental task that must not be made public.”

However, things always seem to take unexpected turns.

“The Void Realm has already started moving. If Cecilia and her husband continue relying solely on their own strength, it’s likely that more relics will be taken before the end.”

“Eventually, Samail will lose the power to suppress the Void Gate.”

Therefore, Cecilia’s decision to come back and seek help was the right one.

“If we had waited any longer, the consequences could have been irreversible.”

Another sigh escaped her lips.

“What’s wrong, Mother?” Rosvisser asked.

“Actually, it’s because I had no other choice that I came back to ask for your help. That Void Realm warrior, Kaizer, is just… so strong. Strong to an exaggerated degree. So, asking you to help me… I’m afraid it might cause even more damage.”

“That’s a completely understandable mindset, Mother.”

The surrounding environment had forced her to seek help from her family, yet she was still concerned about the overwhelming strength of the enemy and the potential harm to her loved ones.

It was indeed a difficult position to be in.

“Cecilia, you and your husband both possess the strength of top Dragon Kings. Even so, when facing Kaizer, you couldn’t fight back?” Olette asked.

Cecilia nodded. “Yes. We didn’t want to linger in battle. We did everything we could just to barely escape, and we had to give up the Wind Spirit Crystal.”

Upon hearing this, Olette couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

“He really is that strong...”

“So—”

Cecilia looked up and glanced at her daughters across from her.

“I’m truly sorry, but the only reinforcements I can rely on are you two.”

“There’s no need to apologize, Mother.”

Isha smiled, her tone relaxed. “You might not realize it, but over the years you’ve been gone, Little Lo and I have grown to a level you might not have expected.”

“And even if Kaizer’s strength exceeds ours, we still have our trump card.”

Cecilia’s eyes lit up. “What trump card?”

Isha didn’t respond directly. Instead, she looked toward the man beside her sister.

Rosvisser also raised her head and looked at him.

“Isha really is like you—calm, sharp, and brave.”

Cecilia couldn’t help but smile quietly to herself, then asked, “So, Little Lo isn’t like that?”

“Well, let’s not talk about other things. When it comes to picking a husband, she’s just like you.”

Cecilia smiled a little. “Mother, you’ve gained a sense of humor over the years.”

“Really? Maybe it’s because of Little Lo’s husband,” she replied.

“Huh? But you and Leon haven’t spent much time together, how could you be influenced by him?”

Grandmother Veronica shook her head and looked down at the campus.

On the grassy field, Leon and Rosvisser had already found the children.

The family sat together, lying back, enjoying the peaceful midday moment.

“I’m not sure, but that guy seems to have a special knack for affecting everyone who tries to understand him. He can leave an impression with his distinctive personality in a short amount of time.”

Cecilia took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, her gaze shifting between Rosvisser and her granddaughters.

Eventually, her eyes settled on Leon.

“I hope he can really save our world once again.”
