Chapter 2662 Preparations for Departure

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Time passed and much of Minos' remaining period in Armhands faded away.

With the rise and fall of the days, a repeated cycle went on undisturbed for 19 long and productive years.

The group of 20 individuals who came from the Spiritual World and The Adamant Land made the most of this time, with the weakest of the group becoming Elite Soldiers and the strongest Junior Officers.

Lizzie, previously the least cultivated of the entire group, reached level 104 after over 26 years in Armhands, while Aurae, the strongest, reached level 107.

The whole group had improved a lot and adapted to their realities, leaving Minos' wings to live on their own legs. They obviously still had all the support his faction provided, with opportunities and advantages. But they were leaving headquarters and experience this vast continent and rely more on their own strength.

The dragons of the three children of Minos grew more in those years, reaching the 10th stage, enough to join the guild as Recruits and receive the proper training.

Kendrick and his sisters took advantage of the period when their parents were on standby to lead the group and allow for seclusion on their part and quickly improved their strength during this period, improving one level each.

Vico and Callie were about to leave their places of seclusion, aware that Minos would soon be leaving headquarters.

This was the same situation for those who would be going with Minos and his women to Uzira. With the 25-year period coming to an end, these aliens were slowly getting ready for their departure!

...

Wovar and Clexvog left their place of seclusion, looking at the mountainous surroundings of this ice-covered area of the headquarters.

The circulating cold, capable of making even high-level Sovereigns shiver, was nothing compared to the two mighty giants, both currently at the beginning of level 115.

Both had advanced to the 12th stage in recent decades and were now leaving their place of seclusion, prepared for their 'imminent' departure for Uzira.

"How long will we not see this place again, brother?" Clexvog asked, his gaze laden with meaning.

They had joined Armhands when they were only level 95 Grandmasters. Since then, they had greatly improved their cultivation and experienced over 11,000 years of partnership within the guild.

Their negative feelings for the guild had completely disappeared over these years and they had long seen themselves as structural parts of this great organization that they were now near the top of leading.

Without realizing it, this place had become their home, from where now, close to their departure, they couldn't help but admit that they would miss this place, the companions and the customs.

"Who knows? Minos thinks it's no less than 300 years. But this is Uzira we're talking about, the closest place to the Upper Realm that we can get to from Zocarro." Wovar was honest with his friend as they walked back to the city.

As the two walked and talked, they passed Sender, who was still at level 115, even though he had evolved to that level over 60 years ago.

Sender, unlike the two giants, was going to stay with Kendrick's group to continue working for the faction.

This alien greeted the two giants before entering one of the caves in the area, bringing news to some of his companions.

In the cave that Sender had entered, Aurae, the level 107 elf, was now standing next to Julian, level 106 and Oswald, level 105, waiting for Minos.

Sender joined them, chatting about minor things for a few moments, until Minos appeared next to Kendrick, who until a few moments ago was still in seclusion.

Following behind Minos and Kendrick was a young man with a teenage appearance but a very strong body, dressed in armor with hard, bluish scales. This was Odys, Kendrick's Divine Dragon, currently at level 94.

"Faction leader." All those people waiting for Minos greeted him, all there to deal with him.

Minos had expected this when he saw these individuals and waved to them, showing for them to wait for him. He looked at Kendrick and said, "Return to your position from now on. It's time for you to start preparing to lead in my absence."

As much as Hollie had beaten Kendrick in the previous competition, he was much stronger than her when there was no one limiting his cultivation. She could even beat him with that advantage, if she used the Hydra's Amulet. But this wasn't a simple contest of who was stronger, but of who could best lead in Minos' absence.

Hollie wasn't ready yet, while Kendrick had been preparing for this since he arrived at the guild. Everyone agreed with him taking his father's place, so he had already assumed the position to lead the faction once Minos left.

"I'm going to go back to the Law Enforcement Hall and refresh myself for the next few years. Don't worry, father, everything will be ready and well-prepared for your absence."

Minos trusted his son and, with a smile and a light slap on one of Kendrick's shoulders, he left the place, followed by those waiting for him.

Oswald asked Minos, "What about the girls? Have they finished their seclusion?"

"Hmm, Hollie has already returned to her position after advancing to level 108. As for Lily, she is resting. She'll be leaving for her new position in a few weeks. Her advancement to level 109 came at the right time and now it's time for her to take a step out of headquarters." Minos replied.

He didn't want to wait for her departure so that his family members could get used to their new positions. On the contrary, he wanted to be present for these changes, so now that there were just over five years until his departure, it was time to put his children and family in the positions they would have to spend the next few decades in!

Oswald agreed with this approach and wasn't worried, even considering that some people, like Lily, were going to be out of the headquarters before long.

Sender opened his mouth and said. "Regarding these guild matches, faction leader, Otis and the others are ready to go. Just have your respective groups join them and they'll be off."

Minos, of course, wouldn't leave his children and friends from the Spiritual World unprotected. The strongest Sovereigns from his faction who stayed behind in Oqia would accompany each of them and ensure that they could continue to grow up and have someone to count on.

"Good. Now it's time to start training for our departure. Tell the group that's going to Uzira with me that from next month, we'll meet once a week to train. The journey ahead will be tough, so let's prepare well!"
