Serum then began to recount his experiences.
Like Nausicaa, Serum spoke of his general experiences, choosing to share only the beneficial events. He glossed over the truly dangerous incidents.
When speaking about his integration with the Azure Bloodline, Serum also revealed some secret fortuitous events.
Integrating with the Azure Bloodline was indeed no simple matter; it required some very stringent inherent conditions. Serum didn’t know about these conditions until the moment of his integration, when they became clear to him.
Although he didn’t meet most of the conditions, Serum was extremely lucky, because he fulfilled the most core condition—having a talisman with which one’s thoughts were intertwined, breaths connected, and blood merged.
The thick-shell book that Serum always carried with him, never parting from it, was his talisman.
Ultimately, Serum was fortunate to integrate with the Azure Bloodline, but because he hadn’t met some conditions, he did not completely obtain the Sage Body talent.
However, with the incomplete Sage Body, Serum succeeded in transforming his thick-shell book into a Spirit.
That was Black Classic.
After Serum finished speaking about himself, he also inquired about Angel’s experiences.
Most of Angel’s deeds were recorded in the magazines, but many details were missing—Angel simply filled in these details, revisiting his experiences in the Abyss.
For example, how he befriended the Abyssal Wind Dragon Fafnir, or why he became entangled with Odeclass and received his mark.
Angel described it all succinctly, omitting some sensitive matters along the way.
Everyone didn’t press for details, understanding that if there were contradictions that Angel chose not to explain, he must have had his reasons.
The events Angel recounted were also new to Lyon. Even though Angel didn’t mention any dangerous experiences, as an Apprentice who had suddenly faced a Magical Creature as powerful as a Third Level True Knowledge, Angel not only kept his composure but also became the mediator between two Abyssal Dragons, forming a balance. The terror within that no outsider could even begin to fathom.
Replacing anyone else in his place, it was likely no one else could have managed.
By the time they had finished sharing their stories, the sky outside the window had turned a reddish hue. It was the color of the twilight glow, which looked even more beautiful situated in the sky.
Although the reunion of old friends sparked excitement, life had to go on, with each person continuing on their own path.
“Dear master, although I know you’re reluctant to end this conversation now, I must remind you that your next match will start in half an hour. It is your promotion fight in the sixth floor of the Infinite Battle Tower, and if you forsake it, your current points on the sixth floor will be halved,” Black Classic said.
Serum reluctantly bid farewell to Angel when only ten minutes remained before his match.
…
After parting with Serum, Angel planned to accompany Lyon and follow Nausicaa to Fangling Hall and, incidentally, see if there were any areas that needed improvements on her mechanical arm.
Before that, however, there was something else Angel needed to do.
Purchase materials.
Angel did have many materials on hand, but he wasn’t buying materials for himself this time. On one hand, it was for the mechanical arm for Nausicaa, and on the other, it was for the Demonic Materials for the soul Popota had asked him to purchase.
Fortunately, the location they were at was on Manshi Magic Material Street, so after leaving the restaurant, they headed further down the Magic Material Street.
