"Finally, we made it out." Lulumon heard the cheers from the birds in his ear. Their encounter in the Shadow Cemetery was extremely tumultuous, just like the legendary stories told by those bards.

"How come we didn't see Elder Sister Elf?" Lulumon looked around, still worried about Eileen's safety, which annoyed him a little.

The Life Divinity was now far away from him, and he couldn't sense the exact direction. However, before coming out, he had already felt that the Life Divinity had found its owner. If his guess was correct, it was most likely Eileen.

To be honest, Bexia's dissatisfaction with Eileen decreased when he thought about this. After all, Eileen was now considered her divine subordinate. Unless she killed her, the Divinity couldn't be released autonomously. Even Bexia couldn't separate the Divinity from herself without causing harm.

But Bexia still held a grudge against Eileen's actions. Since she said she would take care of it the next time they met, he would wait until he became stronger and sensed the whereabouts of the Life Divinity. Then he would find her and vent his anger. For now, he decided not to think about it since Eileen was hiding and he had no way to deal with her.

"Do you all want to go back together?" Bexia looked at the members of the Starmoon Adventure Group. They were not in good condition, especially the two male comrades. One of them couldn't even walk on his own and had to be supported by the other.

"Okay!" Starmoon's face turned slightly pale as he nodded. It was evident that both Bexia and Lulumon were in good condition and had strong abilities, while they needed time to rest and recover. Their fighting power had greatly declined, and if they encountered a powerful monster on their way back to Dark Border, the consequences would be dire!

The group didn't say much and silently started their journey back. Starmoon Adventure Group had lost a team member, so the atmosphere was naturally not great.

Bexia was in a bad mood because of what Eileen had done. The most important thing was what Eileen had instilled in his mind at the end, which made him start researching it carefully. It was a special secret technique of the Elven race called "Nature Spirit." Eileen had used this secret technique to deal with Krom before, and its power was obvious.

The Nature Spirit secret technique was unique. It didn't have any direct attacking power; instead, it was an auxiliary type of technique. Its true strength lay in absorbing the effects of the target and using them for oneself. By consuming all the essence of a just deceased target and combining it with the secrets of Nature Spirit, one could absorb a specific ability of the target and use it for oneself. It could be said that this skill made the user stronger when faced with strong enemies.

Of course, this secret technique had its limitations. The power of the absorbed ability could only reach the level of the strongest target. Beyond that, the absorption wouldn't be effective.

But it had to be acknowledged that this secret technique was indeed very powerful. At least Bexia valued one aspect of it greatly: the ability to absorb flying targets. There was a high chance of gaining the ability to fly by absorbing such targets. The same applied to absorbing strength-based targets. If one had a weakness in a certain area, using this secret technique to compensate for it would be great.

This was the true value of the Nature Spirit secret technique: to make up for shortcomings.

Digesting the memories in his mind, Bexia also made a copy of it in a recorded magic crystal for Lulumon. After all, the little one hadn't gained anything from this trip, and Bexia felt sorry for her.

The journey was relatively safe, and the weaker monsters posed no threat. Bexia was able to protect Lulumon without needing to intervene herself. However, receiving the Spirit of Nature made him contemplate deeply. He wanted to improve this secret technique because he felt that although it was good, it shouldn't be the limit. However, there were many aspects that Bexia didn't understand, so he couldn't comprehensively enhance it through deduction.

Two days later, they returned to Alliance City. The members of Starmoon Adventure Team thanked Bexia and Lulumon before leaving. Moon stopped and asked Bexia, "Can you resurrect Hes?"

Bexia naturally shook his head, indicating that he couldn't. Even if he had the Life's Blessing, which was taken by Eileen, it would still be impossible to resurrect Hes. After all, storing enough energy would require a year, and even with the halving effect of Life's Divinity, it would still take six months to use it again.

Moon left with a sense of disappointment. Originally, they were strangers in the vast sea of ​​people, but after going through a life-and-death test for a mission, it seemed that they would become friends. However, this world was not like the textbooks, and even if they were to meet again, they would probably just acknowledge each other with a nod.

Returning to Ophelia with Lulumon, they were immediately asked about their experiences. It felt like a wife interrogating her husband's secrets. Bexia was speechless, but Lulumon successfully "defected" to Ophelia, telling her everything that happened on the journey from her perspective. Many things were unknown to her, such as Life's Divinity.

When Ophelia learned about Bexia being drained of magic by Eileen immediately after waking up, she couldn't help but glare at Bexia in dissatisfaction. This expression showed a glimpse of her feminine side. Bexia just smiled and didn't respond. After all, showing any negative implications would definitely lead to a "disaster."

Although the situation was extremely dangerous this time, Lulumon didn't experience any crisis as Bexia had protected her properly. Bexia was thankful that it was this innocent little girl saying this, otherwise he would have to endure Ophelia's lectures.

Lulumon didn't stay in Alliance City for long, leaving silently. The only thing she left behind was a note in her room, with her own smiley face drawing on it. It roughly meant that her teacher had come to take her back, and Bexia and Ophelia shouldn't worry.

Although he felt a bit regretful, since Lulumon had been taken away by her teacher, Bexia couldn't force anything. After all, Lulumon couldn't stay here forever and would eventually leave. Bexia was quite indifferent about this matter. Perhaps they would meet again someday.

So in the following days, Bexia officially immersed himself in the task of leveling up as an adventurer. The importance of strength was self-evident, and the more memories he regained, the more he felt a sense of urgency and a feeling that he had something very important to accomplish. He also wanted to make Lady Cloud's new body as soon as possible, as she had been complaining about it in Bexia's mind recently.

This kind of life continued for less than a month, until one morning when Bexia once again encountered someone who made him feel somewhat guilty.
