Chapter 50

Idan was fully aware of the consequences of his decision, but he did not regret the choice he had made. He began to suppress his emotions with full seriousness, although he did not know how to do it. No one had taught him to control his feelings.

Immersed in introspection, he recalled his past life and a life of trials, trying to separate them from each other. In this reverie, he did not notice how time had passed.

A knock on the door brought him out of his thoughts. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was already dawn outside the window. When he got out of bed and opened the door, he saw Arabel standing in front of him in simple casual clothes. She wasn't wearing the ghost mask that usually hid her appearance.

After taking a closer look, Idan realized that she had become even more beautiful after integrating the Ice Valkyrie bloodline. He couldn't take his eyes off her and didn't even notice how his emotions, under the influence of her presence, began to calm down.

Arabel noticed that Idan was staring at her intently, and although she was a little embarrassed, a joyful feeling rose up inside her. The effects of integrating the Ice Valkyrie bloodline hadn't affected her that much, but she couldn't understand why her emotions were becoming so uncontrollable around Idan.

"Is this really love?" she asked herself. She had never experienced such feelings before and had no idea what it would be like to love someone.

By this time, they had already learned to suppress the mental connection so as not to hear each other's thoughts, so Idan did not hear Arabel's question.

"Do you want to go for a walk?" she suggested, bringing Idan out of his reverie.

"With pleasure!" agreed Idan, and they went downstairs together.

After leaving the house, they decided to take a walk-through Milica's garden. They both enjoyed the beauty of the garden that Milica, who became their master, had grown in silence. From time to time, they would glance at each other, and when their eyes met, they would quickly turn away, embarrassed.

None of them knew how to behave. If they could communicate and walk normally before the trial, then after it they realized that their relationship had become even deeper. The System itself confirmed that their affection for each other had increased. However, due to the fusion of the second personality, it became even more awkward for them.

Idan was finally able to calm down and catch his breath, and Arabel felt comfortable in his presence. At that moment, both of them wanted this moment to last forever.

From afar, the couple was watched by several curious pairs of eyes.

"Master, do you think they love each other?" Eulalia asked Milica.

"What do you think?" retorted Milica.

"I think they really love each other, they just can't admit it," replied Eulalia.

"Ha ha ha, you sound like you have experience. I've never heard of you having any kind of partner. Besides, looking at your behavior, I can say for sure that you are still a virgin. They are still young and don't know what love is, that's why they behave this way. It's only a matter of time before they understand and accept their feelings. Compared to you, they are still children," Milica told Eulalia, embarrassing her.

Of course, as an elf, Eulalia had long since passed forty, but she still looked eighteen. While Idan and Arabel were about twenty years old.

And yes, as Milica noted, she still hasn't met someone she would choose as her partner. For an elf like her, it was quite normal. She was still considered very young. She still had a long and eventful life to live.

"Instead of standing here gossiping, go to the Adventurer's Guild and find out how many of them have arrived in the city, and who exactly. Collect as much information as you can, you will need it soon. I'm sure they must be going crazy from waiting by now," Eulalia heard Milica's instructions and, looking away from the couple, looked seriously at the city.

She had already noticed that the atmosphere in the city had changed, and it was getting harder every day.

"Master, is it really that serious?" she asked.

"Yes, Limbo already knows about them, as do the locals. They cannot personally interfere in this matter, but they can attract outsiders from other cities. The arrival of so many outsiders in such a short time already shows how seriously Limbo takes them," Milica replied.

"Well, let them try. We won't let them reach our juniors," Eulalia said confidently and, following Milica's instructions, headed to the Adventurer's Guild.

After seeing off her senior student, Milica turned around and looked at Nemo, who was standing a little way away and attentively watching the couple. She knew that he hadn't missed a word of their conversation with Eulalia either, and she was sure he agreed with her conclusions.

Milica was confident in the strength of these two. Eulalia was a powerful sorceress, and paired with Nemo, her power increased many times. Nemo, in addition to excellent swordsmanship, was also able to use more powerful spells thanks to the spirit of Izzy, whose power had increased significantly due to the influence of Idan and Arabel.

The only thing she was worried about right now was the pair of Idan and Arabel. She couldn't tell exactly how strong they had become after what had happened to them. But she was determined to find out as soon as they finished their walk. So, she waited patiently for them, watching the events unfold.

Idan and Arabel spent some time enjoying a walk in each other's company. At that moment, nothing bothered them, and they only dreamed of prolonging this moment in harmony. Just being next to each other seemed like a cure for all the worries that plagued them.

However, their idyll was interrupted by a sudden change within them. At the same time, Idan and Arabel felt something break inside them.

," the System's voice rang out immediately after this change.

"The second seal?" Idan wondered, and then remembered how the System had previously reported that their level had reached the maximum of level 20, and that the ascension trial was unavailable due to the "Second Seal". Now that this "seal" has been broken, the ascension trial has become available. As Idan expected, the System immediately announced it.

Ding! The system has discovered that the Hosts have reached level 20, and the second ascension trial is now available!

No sooner had they completed the first trial than the system notified them of the second one. Idan and Arabel weren't sure what it would look like, and they weren't in a hurry to get through it. They had to first adapt to the new powers they had received and deal with the internal contradictions that were causing their personality instability.

Hosts. Removing the "Second Seal" indicates that more than a year has passed since you entered Limbo in your world, and it has experienced its second calamity!

"WHAT?!" they exclaimed at the same time, in disbelief.

They had only been in this closed world for about two months, and the System claimed that more than a year had passed in their world.
