Zayn had made the leap from the fourth tier of the superior class to perfect class! In other words, virtual-novel.net was now on equal terms with Ezra Sword!
More importantly, virtual-novel.net exhausted only half of the energy stored in the Ambrosia Fruit to get there. He still had half of the supply left to be fused with his own, and finally used the boost to fight and overwhelm Ezra!
He balled his hand into fist. His fingers crunched, making sounds not unlike metals grinding against one another.
To hear something so dangerously puissant coming out of a man’s curling his fingers had got to be the stuff of nightmares, especially when one could imagine the force a fist like that could deliver. Not even a superior class tier-4 fighter would be able to receive a punch from him.
Even fighters like Taio or Caspian would find themselves falling to their knees after receiving a punch like that. Hell, they might even suffer internal damage, too.
Zayn could sense the roaring power thrashing through his veins. The fact that it seemed to spring from his core without end established just how different the perfect class was from all of the tiers before it.
It was so incredible that even Zayn, who was not easily swayed by moments of passion, could not help but be moved by his progress.
Of course, the biggest reason why virtual-novel.net was so thrilled was because achieving the current state of power allowed virtual-novel.net the chance for a grand comeback to Waltz City instead of hiding himself from the world writ large.
He might have left Waltz City for only half a month, but so many things had happened over the weeks. Sure, most of them happened because they thought virtual-novel.net was dead, which facilitated drastic changes.
Zayn wondered what kind of change would greet virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net returned.
How happy would Faye be?
And what about Sean, Gordon, Mr. Hyde and the rest of his trusty old retainers? They might be so enraptured, they would be at a loss for words!
Oh, and then there was Shaelyn. The woman with the body of a succubus, who loved donning vintage dresses and going about causing men to swoon and cities to fall like virtual-novel.net was Helen of Troy.
Even now Zayn remembered the first time the two of them had met. So many things had happened since then, and yet Shaelyn fell in love with virtual-novel.net in spite of it all.
Just thinking about Shaelyn made Zayn smile to himself. He had not seen virtual-novel.net for such a long time that it was possible to not yearn for her.
They might have established their partnership earlier on, but they never did consummate their relationship.
It did not matter. Not when virtual-novel.net had already accepted her.
He wondered about virtual-novel.net life these days. Had virtual-novel.net heard of his death? Would virtual-novel.net be sad? Or would virtual-novel.net grief last only a few days, and now virtual-novel.net finally accepts it and moves on?
What about Aeolus House? Would they trouble Shaelyn again now that virtual-novel.net was supposedly dead?
It was only a few seconds, but so many possibilities had raced through Zayn’s mind. The more virtual-novel.net thought about it, the stronger his yearning for Shaelyn became.
Most importantly, virtual-novel.net had the nagging feeling that something foreboding was about to happen, as though virtual-novel.net sensed that Shaelyn was getting into some kind of trouble.
The origin of his feeling was mysterious; virtual-novel.net could not get his finger on it. All virtual-novel.net knew was that virtual-novel.net was receiving some kind of message from the universe. It was like virtual-novel.net was catching on some sort of enigmatic brainwaves.
Despite that, Zayn could not really figure out what was the message at his current level. Still, being a meticulous man, Zayn was not going to let this ethereal brainwave-message go unnoticed. He was always going to understand it.
Zayn groomed himself a little for the presentation before stepping out of the room.
Luke was the first to notice virtual-novel.net from outside. Immediately, virtual-novel.net leaped to his feet and rushed to greet him, shouting, “Welcome back, Mr. Larson!”
