With the magical powers of the Illus, Qiyana’s injuries were instantly healed.
However, James could sense how the powers contained within the Illus seemed to have reduced slightly.
Qiyana noticed James’ confused expression and explained, “You don’t have to worry about the Illus’ powers getting depleted.
The Illus continuously absorbs the energies of heaven and earth from the surrounding to replenish its powers.” James nodded
and stored the Illus back securely.
Qiyana got to her feet and asked, “Where's Qairo?” James took Qairo out of his storage treasure and put him on the ground.
Qairo was still unconscious.
Qiyana fixed her gaze on Qairo and said, “You don’t have to feel too worried about him.
He doesn’t have a complete soul, to begin with.
Qairo can slowly recover even if there’s only a small shred of his soul left in that body.” Then, Qiyana placed Qairo inside her
storage treasure.
Latrusse looked at Qiyana and began, “You gave me the Glaciemon Sword, and I assisted in ensuring your safety while you
were trying to level up.
I think I’ve done enough to repay you for the sword, so I'll be on my way now.” “Mhm.” Qiyana gave a slight nod.
Latrusse directed his gaze at James and Lemuel.
“I’ve achieved my purpose on this trip, and it is time for me to do what I must do.
I hope we'll meet again someday.” James bowed slightly.
“Thank you for all your help, Sir Latrusse.
If it weren't for you, I would have faced a lot of issues navigating through the Dark World.” Latrusse smiled faintly.
“I hope to see how you will shake up the Dark World in the future.” Slowly, Latrusse’s body started fading.
“T am sure one day you’ll become one of the most prominent figures in the Dark World.
We'll definitely see each other again someday.” Even after Latrusse was gone, his voice echoed through the space for quite
some time before it finally died down.
“James.” Lemuel took a step forward.
“You've achieved your purpose for this trip to the Dark World.
Not only have you acquired the Illus, but you have also collected various resources for your training and created a new, powerful
body for yourself.
I promised to accompany you on the journey, and I did a fairly good job all this while.” Lemuel frowned slightly as he paused for
amoment.
“I know you are about to go up against the Yeftero Race, the leading group among the Four Ancient Races.
That is an extremely risky mission, and I don’t want to get involved in it.
I promised to teach you the Feimsurge Art.
Now that you have achieved the minimum requirement to learn the final two stages, I’ll teach you the techniques and leave the
Dark World.” Lemuel did not want to get involved in the conflict between James and the Yefteros for the sake of the Dieux
Academy’s members’ safety.
As the academy’s founder, Lemuel was concerned about the fate of the Dieux Academy.
Lemuel had entered the early stage of the Holy Celestial Rank and was able to fight same-rank cultivators of the late stage.
However, that was still not enough for him to protect all the members of the Dieux Academy.
Lemuel decided it was time he focused on his training and improved his powers.
James furrowed his brows upon hearing Lemuel’s words.
He had planned to work with Qiyana in eliminating Yui for good.
His initial plans would require Lemuel’s help.
However, James was not going to force Lemuel to stay.
“I won't stop you if you wish to leave, Sir Lemuel.
About the Feimsurge Art, you won't have to teach me the techniques.
I will need some time to allow my body to heal.
During that time, I should be able to learn and master the fifth and sixth stages of the Feimsurge Art on my own.” “Mhm.” Lemuel
nodded.
He was aware of how James was a quick learner.
James even managed to pick up the Ice Curse without much difficulty previously.
| “Take care, James.” Lemuel patted him on the shoulder.
