Leia turned to the others, "Perhaps we should give Gerhard and Nikita some time alone," she suggested.
Valentina nodded and approached Arthfael, "I agree."
Gerhard smiled and thanked them for the time they had given him. Finally, everyone else left, leaving Gerhard and Nikita alone to have their conversation, knowing that their time together might be running out soon.
As time passed, Gerhard's breathing, which had become steady, now began to slow down again. Tears flowed down his cheeks. Nikita embraced Gerhard's face with her whole body, trying to comfort him.
"Nikita, thank you for everything. Thank you for being my friend," Gerhard said with a shaky voice.
Nikita nodded, her tears unable to contain the sorrow in her heart. Yet, her lips formed a smile, as

Arthfael: The Grinding Hero Chapter 72. Neptunis Andf The Chaos He Caused
The departure of Gerhard with Nikita, which happened some time ago, had left a deep sense of loss among several individuals, especially Neptunis, who had been together with them for decades. Due to the loneliness he felt, Neptunis even hesitated to return to his original place as the waterfall guardian monster. Instead, he preferred to stay at Gerhard's house, where he found thousands of memories of Gerhard that remained in the house.Today, Arthfael decided to visit Neptunis again, unsure of how many times he had done so already. After all, Neptunis was still a monster that required supervision, especially now that his human contract partner was no longer there. Arthfael's task was to keep an eye on Neptunis to ensure he wouldn't disturb any other humans who might pass by Gerhard's house."Arthfael!" Camilla suddenly called out as she stood in front of the lodging they were staying in.Arthfael, Valentina, and Flare, who were just about to leave the place, turned their heads upon he
Arthfael: The Grinding Hero Chapter 73. Letter From Gerhard
As Arthfael took the letter from Neptunis, a mixture of emotions washed over him. Holding the letter in his hands felt like holding a piece of Gerhard's soul. It was a bittersweet moment, knowing that Gerhard was no longer around but still being able to connect with him through his heartfelt words.As Arthfael was about to open the letter, he suddenly paused and placed it back inside his pocket."What's wrong? Why don't you open it?" Valentina asked curiously about the contents of the letter."Is there something wrong?" Neptunis chimed in, equally curious as Arthfael decided not to read the letter.Arthfael glanced at Camilla, who had just returned from the kitchen and placed various dishes on the dining table. Seeing Camilla's presence, Arthfael quickly made an excuse, even though he actually wanted to prepare himself before reading the letter left by Gerhard."Let's eat first. I'm really hungry," he said, then promptly tucked the letter from Gerhard into his pants pocket.Valentina
Arthfael: The Grinding Hero Chapter 74. The Help From Ian And Zeke
Right below the letter, there was actually a writing that Arthfael didn't read aloud. It stated that Arthfael was allowed to leave the house after Gerhard's departure and even destroy it. Because that was all Gerhard could give to Arthfael after knowing the man for all this time.For if it weren't for Arthfael, Gerhard might still be alive with the pain in his heart, unable to let go peacefully. Now, they continued to clean Gerhard's house that they would inhabit. Arthfael even repaired the damaged roof and some other corners that were affected by Searox's attack some time ago.As the sun set and the evening approached, Zeke and Ian came to help. No matter how tired they were from work, they still assisted Arthfael, who was fixing the house even until late at night."What can we help you, Sir?" Zeke asked just moments after they arrived.Ian, who came with Zeke, also prepared to assist Arthfael. They both had already taken off their clothes and were left with plain sleeveless shirts t
Arthfael: The Grinding Hero Chapter 75. Magician Partner For Arthfael
Today, several people who volunteered to fight against Searox were gathered in the palace courtyard, including Arthfael. Many of them were men, but there were also quite a few women among the crowd."It's strange, why are there so many women participating?" Valentina murmured, observing several women standing alongside them.Valentina was sure that these women were not palace servants but individuals who willingly joined the battle against Searox. Ever since the powerful tremors believed to be caused by Searox shook Verdantia, the citizens were called upon to participate in preparing for the war against the sea and underground dragon."Perhaps they are powerful sorceresses," Flare suggested.Arthfael turned his gaze to the women standing not far from where he was. Some of them were dressed in clean and beautiful garments, which differed greatly from the clothing of ordinary citizens."What are you looking at?" a woman suddenly felt uncomfortable being stared at by Arthfael.Arthfael i
Arthfael: The Grinding Hero Chapter 76. Arthfael Met Lyrastra?
"What are you doing here?" asked Arthfael, surprised to see Camilla standing confidently in front of him without a hint of guilt or shame."What else? I'm volunteering to be your fighting partner," Camilla replied, raising her hand and producing sparks of lightning magic from her fingertips, proving that she could harness electrical energy as requested.Arthfael was taken aback by Camilla's unexpected declaration. He had never imagined that Camilla, who had always been hesitant and unsure about her magic abilities, would step forward to be his partner in facing the formidable Searox."But Camilla, are you sure about this?" Arthfael asked with concern. "Facing Searox is no small feat. It's a dangerous and life threatening task."Camilla's determined expression didn't waver as she replied, "I know it's dangerous, but I believe in you, Arthfael. And I believe in myself too. I have been practicing diligently, and I want to prove to myself that I can be strong and useful."Arthfael looked

"Ah, I've actually been observing you, and I'm impressed. But I didn't expect you to be this timid," Lyrastra said, moving closer to Arthfael.In truth, Arthfael wasn't scared; he was merely taken aback by the contrast between the terrifying image he had in mind of Lyrastra and her graceful appearance."Are you seducing me?" Arthfael asked.Lyrastra nodded, "Well, in a way, you could say that."She continued to approach Arthfael until it seemed as though she might kiss him. Arthfael was bewildered and unsure of what to do."What are you doing?" Arthfael asked, realizing that Lyrastra was getting too close.Lyrastra flashed a mischievous smile and then stepped back, "Come, let me show you around."Arthfael was a bit puzzled by Lyrastra's invitation to explore a place that seemed like it existed in a different dimension. There was nothing there, just an endless empty space with water pooling on the floor.As Arthfael remained unmoved, Lyrastra immediately took his hand and led him away
Arthfael: The Grinding Hero Chapter 78. Invitation For Birthday Party
Lyrastra gently shook her head in response to Arthfael's plea. "I'm afraid I cannot grant you magical abilities, young one. As I mentioned before, true power cannot be given. It must be earned," she said with a reassuring smile.Arthfael felt a mix of disappointment and understanding wash over him. Deep down, he knew that the path to greatness wasn't about seeking shortcuts or easy solutions. It was about hard work, dedication, and embracing his own inner strength."But don’t worry, Arthfael," Lyrastra continued, "You already possess a source of great power within you."She pointed at his Soulfire Sword, its Xodiac Jade Stone glowing with potential magic. "Your mighty Soulfire Sword holds ancient and powerful magic itself. The Xodiac Jade Stone is a conduit of immense energy and is already attuned to your spirit.""What? Didn't Gerhard receive his magical powers from you?" Arthfael asked."Of course not! Miss Lyrastra has never shared her magical powers with anyone!" Splash replied, j

As previously informed by Amara, Arthfael was invited to the birthday dinner to celebrate Seraphine's special day. Not alone, Arthfael arrived accompanied by Valentina, Camilla, Zeke, Ian, Flare, and Neptunis.The birthday dinner for Seraphine was held at a dining place in the city center. As Seraphine was not of noble birth, the event was a simple dinner party rather than an extravagant affair. There were no ornate decorations or elaborate dances like those held by the nobles. Nevertheless, the birthday party still felt lively and meaningful, with many invited guests in attendance."Is birthday parties always like this here?" Arthfael asked Valentina, who was flying beside him."Well, usually, it's much livelier. But since we're not nobles, it's kept modest," Valentina replied.Arthfael and the others stepped into the entrance area and were greeted by several guests engaged in conversations near the doorway. As Arthfael's arrival became apparent, all eyes turned to him. They instantl

The hum of the elevator's ascent enveloped them in a brief moment of solitude. It was within this confined space that Marshall broached a topic beyond the realm of work."Hey, Alvin," Marshall began, leaning casually against the elevator wall, "how's Camilla doing these days? Last time we talked, she had just lost Richard."Alvin's expression softened at the mention of Camilla. "She's doing much better now," he replied. "She's formed a contract with Neptunis and even mastered the art of lightning magic. It's incredible how resilient she is."Marshall's eyes widened in genuine amazement. "That'

The urban landscape, with its towering buildings and constant hum of activity, seemed both alien and strangely welcoming after his fantastical adventures.He strolled down the busy sidewalk, a stark contrast to the forest trails and mythical creatures that once accompanied him on his journey as Arthfael. The echoes of his footsteps resonated with the rhythm of city life, and he couldn't help but feel a twinge of nostalgia for the simplicity of the human world."Missed this place," he muttered to himself, his breath forming a small cloud in the chilly air. Despite the bustling crowd around him, Alvin found himself longing for the solitude of the forest, where every rustle of leaves told a story and every creature held a secret.Approaching the Graham Company building, Alvin gazed up at its sleek exterior, adorned with reflective gla

A man with black shirt, still caught in the hazy transition from one reality to another, found himself in a small, cozy room. The remnants of dreams clung to his consciousness as he heard the persistent knocks on the door. The voice outside, insistent and slightly annoyed, belonged to someone who seemed to know him well."Alvin! Alvin! Wake up, it's already morning! I've cooked breakfast, and if the food gets cold, I'll hit you!"The words echoed in his ears, and Alvin groaned, trying to make sense of the unfamiliar surroundings. The name "Alvin" echoed in his mind, and he muttered to himself, asking aloud, "Who's Alvin?"Reality asserted itself, and with a jolt, Alvin's memory clicked into place. He wasn't Arthfael, the hero navigating a magical realm. He was Alvin, and this room was his own.

We may not see each other again."Flare, the Pyroblaze Phoenix, who had accompanied Arthfael through battles and triumphs, let out a cry tinged with sorrow. The fiery aura surrounding her seemed to flicker, revealing an underlying emotion.Arthfael, perceptive to their sentiments, inquired, "Flare, are you crying?"Flare, attempting to conceal her emotions, retorted, "No, it's just something in my eye."Arthfael, recognizing Flare's attempt to mask her true feelings, chuckled and pulled her into a tight embrace.

Arthfael, standing in the room that served as a temporary sanctuary within the Dragomir palace, took a moment to collect his thoughts. The events that had transpired — battles fought, alliances forged, and the sacrifices made — weighed heavy on his mind. He couldn't shake the memory of Freya's selfless sacrifice, a haunting reminder of the costs endured in the face of darkness.In an instinctive motion, Arthfael raised his hand, and a holographic screen materialized before him, displaying a series of information. His eyes focused on the screen as he rotated his hand, prompting a pop-up that revealed a number: 999.Arthfael's level, a reflection of his strength and capabilities, stood at the pinnacle. The enormity of his power, however, was juxtaposed with the feeling of inadequacy that lingered within him."Freya," Arthfael murmured, his voice tinged with regret. "I'm sorry. You sacrificed so much for me, and yet I couldn't protect you. I was too weak."At the bottom of the holographi
