"Your limit is 11 energy of destruction. If you can increase it up to twenty or even fifty while maintaining them without them exploding. I'm sure as heck your energy control would improve drastically. you might even increase the duration of the 'Aiki' by 1 minute." Fein said.

Sofia smiled thinking of training hard. Her trump card and most powerful means of attack is the 'Aiki' energy. Improving it was also a way for her overall combat power to increase.

"That's why you need to practice consistently. Practice makes us better." Fein smiled.

"Umm... Can you put me down? I can already walk." Sofia asked.

It was already the three or fourth time she was carried by him.

Fein laid Sofia on the ground.

"Don't over-exert yourself though."

Sofia held his hand and stood up slowly. She looked at the upper half of the mountain that disappeared because of her. She was a bit guilty, After all, she came from a noble family, and what she just did was a bit barbaric, damaging the environment like that was unacceptable to her as she liked nature, that's she has a garden in their mansion in the first place.

My powers are really barbaric. When I managed to become an S-rank in the future. Just how much destruction could I cause?

Fein looked at Sofia who was absent-minded while they were running from tree to tree. The mountain wasn't that too far from the territory of their friend.

"Sofia, we have to say our farewell to our buddies. We really need to get going now."

Sofia's muddle eyes brightened as she woke up from her absentmindedness."I think our Transportation isn't there yet. Because we are one month early from our exit time."

"Yes, though our harvest was richer." Fein grinned. "We don't need to wait for the Griffon. We would take twelve trains to get back to San Luebisto Kingdom Right?"

"Thirteen to be exact." Sofia clarified. Before Fein could even respond, Sofia cut her off. "Because we can't take the train in the country near the Secret Realm."

Fein looked at Sofia with an inquiry.

"Because we are registered by the governments, we have used flight to here, and we also need to use the same to get out." Sofia sighed.

"Damn! those lawmakers really know how to make things complicated..." Fein said excitedly.

"Yeah, but we can take the one outside the Palawan country. Fortunately, we have my partner. We can just fly our way there." Sofia curled up her lips.

Just like that, the two of them returned with their friends. They saw the six resting on the ground.

"Guys, we have to say our farewell now with our friends." Fein declared.

Voli and Aoi's faces were saddened after hearing this. The slimes became gray, and the mood turned gloomy in an instant. The two deer on the other went beside Voli and Aoi patting them with hooves gently,

These guys really became attached to each other in a short time."Fein also felt a bit gloomy.

If he only had a choice, he really wants to bring them outside. Furthermore, they are also special creatures that can fight evenly with A-ranks. Yeah, that's right, only A. But if they teamed up they can hold S-rank with the holy beast's special powers.

Such a pity, with them, my combat force would rise.Fein felt a bit disappointed in his heart.

When would such an opportunity present itself? Holy Beast is rare after all... Plus the slimes, if they can become as strong as the one in the anime, that would be a game-changer. Although the possibility of this is a bit low. After all, slimes would have already become the top of the food, if even one of them obtain such potential.

After Voli and Aoi bid farewell to their friends, they flew in the direction of the portal. Fein glanced at the Secret Realm with emotion one last time. Because he has a feeling that it would be a long time before he comes back. Tickets are precious after all, but that wouldn't be a problem once he becomes an S-rank. His goal, for now, is to wait for his talent to finish updating. After that, he would until he reaches S-rank in degu and physical starts.Fein walked to the portal with the others following behind him.

...

In a place where the space appeared like crack glasses, a glint of blue light appeared for a second. Fein, Sofia, Voli, and Aoi emerged from the blue portal one after another.

After they saw the familiar space cracks, their gloomy expressions after they parted with their friends turned into apprehension.

"We are back at this shitty place." Fein sighed.

If there's anything he was wary about is space crack. Because those things are scary, even if he uses his 'Ghecko Substitution' when the Zodiac Space Cracks explodes. His chances of coming out alive are only 28%!

That's how scary space is, only SSS class creatures would have a chance to survive. That's why the space element belongs to the level of a concept like time. When used for an attack it's lethal, when used for defense it's excellent, when used for mobility and restriction it's the best. Heck, it was one of the most versatile powers.

"We'll have to thread carefully from now on." Sofia went closer to him and held his shoulders tightly.

Fein smirked at this. "Afraid?"

"Who's not?" Sofia rebuked.

After they bickered, the four walked carefully through the road full of space cracks, they manage to pass smoothly with Fein leading them. His 'Chess Perception' proved to be helpful even in scouting and being a pathfinder.

"Did your father go to the Monster World in the past?" Fein broke the silence to lessen the nervous atmosphere.

"Not really, but he had to go to different ones when he was still with my mom."

Fein saw Sofia's countenance turn lonely, her eyes were full of longing and desire.

Damn it, did I just ask something sensitive? F*ck me! Fein scolded himself inwardly.

"I'm sorry." He said awkwardly.

Sofia breathed deeply and tried to smile, but the moisture in her eyes betrayed her.
