Chapter 734: Leaving for the war I

    ?

    Three weeks later, Kyle hovered opposite Hubert above the forest where they had lingered for nearly a month.

    Bia was seated on his shoulder in her smaller form. She was so tired that she didn''t even have the strength to move!

    Over the past few weeks, Hubert had subjected her to intense physical training and had even taught her close combat-all while she was in her human form!

    To make matters worse, he even used a weird artifact to prevent her from tapping into her mana, divine, and spiritual energy during training! Just a week ago, Hubert had excavated a tunnel in the ground with his spiritual energy and tossed her inside, instructing her to climb out without relying on her phoenix form or any of her skills! It took her two whole days to crawl out of that dark, narrow place!

    -''I think I have successfully developed a trauma toward human physical training...''

    That''s why, she couldn''t fathom how Kyle had endured the old man''s grueling training for countless years when she struggled to withstand it for just a month.

    -''Any longer and I would have perished!''

    Resentment flickered in her eyes as she recalled how Kyle hadn''t lifted a finger to help her and had just watched her suffer from the sidelines, entirety nonchalant!

    -''Hmph! I will... I will... Ugh, I can''t even take revenge! Why does Kyle have to be so much stronger than me?!''

    Kyle sensed her discomfort and caressed her head, wearing an amused expression as he exchanged a nod with Hubert.

    It was finally time to part ways.

    Hubert smiled wryly as he gazed at the silver spear floating behind Kyle. He wanted to take it back... but ultimately decided to let it remain with Kyle.

    "Just don''t find yourself in a similar situation again. You survived from Damien this time, but we can''t predict the future. Try not to get into too much trouble."

    "Take care."

    With that, he turned and vanished toward the clear sky dotted with clouds. He needed to make his way back to No Mana Land.

    Hopefully, the young members of his race who wished to leave hadn''t departed during his absence, as the outside world had become increasingly perilous.

    Kyle didn''t intend to keep them longer than necessary, but Zhask took out some chairs from his mind space and arranged them for everyone to sit. With a sigh, he decided to sit down opposite the elders.

    "Is the preparation ready?"

    Galdor responded to him.

    "Everything is ready. Zhask will be leading the ship. We can leave at any time."

    Kyle nodded, realizing they had been waiting for his arrival. Suddenly, he said something that

    surprised everyone.

    "The twins, are they going too?"

    Zhask, who understood whom Kyle was referring to, nodded.

    "They are. They have grown stronger with the help of the treasures you gave them, so they decided to join the war. However, since they are only at the divine rank and the least powerful among everyone, they will return to the city with me after a few months."

    Kyle stood up to check on Bia.

    "Alright, we can depart tomorrow as early as possible. There''s no need for the elders to come personally to fetch me; I believe you all have your own matters to attend to. Just send the

    twins to inform me."

    Hearing his words, Zhask and the elders didn''t linger and quickly departed. Still, they were somewhat intrigued by Kyle''s specific request for the twins. Had he developed a liking for their company? No, that can''t be possible since the twins were treated more like servants than

    friends.

    They had no answers to their questions, so they decided to set them aside and hurried to inform those who would be heading off to war to gather in one place.

    When the twins, who were enjoying their normal lives, were informed by Zhask that they

    would once again have to take care of Kyle, they instantly rejected the idea. But upon seeing the elder''s solemn eyes, they could do nothing but accept their fate.
