VRMMO: Am I The Strongest Yet?

[6 Days till the Day of change…]

Alex and Elio finished their leveling and obtained their second awakening.

Elio was able to gain a higher mastery over his magic, he was able to learn a few new spells in the time they had spent fighting against those dangerous sea creatures and there were a bunch of new items that he gained from the Merpeople.

On Qlipot, they were also able to obtain the legacy of the Creator, something that wasn't as difficult as they thought it would be.

The 'trials' weren't as difficult as they had expected.

The most they had to do was go around the ship and find a few things hidden in a few other places, something that became extremely simple with Az's help.

Thanks to their little slime friend with its unique skill, they were able to find the things that weren't meant to be found.

He could talk with the spirits as well and since most of the spirits were long life species, there were many spirits that knew what the creator had hidden.

It was a great chase, but with the ship being docked on the floor of the ocean, they certainly had an easier time maintaining their search and leveling speed.

At the end, Sera was able to obtain a unique Relic that belonged to her kind… a relic that, much like the (Key of potential) was connected with the angels.

The relic was called (Matrix of Nio).

It was a small silver box that seemed to be a mechanical creation with all the unique magical gears visible around it. Elio's eye skill was able to judge this relic as one of the (Six) pieces that they had to look for.

He had received the quest to look for these unique pieces of the civilization that lived in the higher realm and had almost vanished a long time ago.

It wasn't simply about angels but a kind of angel that wasn't around anymore, and though he had not expected it, he obtained one of the six pieces in this place.

[Ding!]

Sera was able to unlock a few more pieces of her power thanks to the discovery of this object, however, since she did not know how to use this relic yet, she could not bring out most of its powers.

She still tried using it, finding a little more about it, but the relic did not respond to her. Even Elio's eyes were not able to tell what was wrong with it, but it seemed like the relic was missing something.

Or perhaps it was something else, they did not know.

[5 Days till the Day of change…]

Since Alex had obtained the permanent key that she was looking for, a unique harp-like musical instrument that most certainly did not look like a sword, and since she had confirmed this instrument certainly was the object she was looking for, they were done with all that they had to do in this underwater kingdom.

They knew if fate allows it, they will come back here someday and will be able to enjoy the carefree life that the natives of this kingdom lived.

The world was changing and they had to move quickly, so they did not have much time on their hands right now, however, if it was possible, they wanted to come back here soon.

Elio, especially, after knowing about the culture of this place, the unique society that they had, he wanted to come and try spending a little more time here once again.

Thanks to the items that they had, as well as to the authority of the king, they did not have to worry about breathing or movement issues.

They were under the water so they could fly (float) however they wanted. It was fun doing all kinds of 'unique' things in this place, and ultimately it was fun.

They had fun and though they wished they could have had some more time here, they could not stay here.

Thus, they had to depart soon… and, unlike how they had come here, Elio and Alex were going to part ways with the Qlipot, and the pirate family that they had gotten close to.

They were also going to say their goodbyes to Odin as only their party would move to a nearby place with the movement authority of the King.

[4 Days till the Day of change…]

They left them when there were around six days left before the timer ran out, and reached the lush island that belonged to Alex.

Somewhere on this island, there was a treasure trove where she had stored a bunch of things that she knew she would be retrieving at a moment like this.

The treasury was located somewhere here, but even she did not know where exactly it was since the one that looked after her treasures, for most parts, was one of her servants and she did not have them.

After achieving her second awakening, she was finally able to call her Familiar, a unique creature that resembled a dark shadow…

It was almost made of darkness or what seemed like darkness but it was not a darkness attribute. It was something different. Something deeper than an attribute.

As Elio could tell, this being, just like its master, did not have affinity for any Element. The darkness was simply its nature.

It had bright glowing eyes, a cute round face and a fun tail that made it look like a baby dragon.

But, Sera could tell this creature was no dragon.

His contracted spirit, Meta as well as the divine being accompanying them in the shadows, also knew this was no dragon.

Just like the fog rabbit, this dark shadow-like draconic being was also a divinity. However, unlike the divinity possessed by the lightning rabbit, this dark cute baby creature, that was much cuter than both Az and Miu, was in fact something different.

His eyes, for some strange reason, recognised this being. However, he had never seen this being nor had he ever seen any being like this.

However, he had a distinct feeling that he knew something about this creature. And, he could not help but wonder what relation his eyes and her cute little friend might have.

[3 Days till the Day of change…]

The creature, her familiar, was an adorable creature that mostly stayed wrapped around her neck.

It did not have any weight to it, its existence itself was strange to the rest of them. But it was cute, and soft, and strangely, it was also cuddly.

It was also strong.

So strong that when a giant creature, a creature native to this island filled with life threatening monsters, appeared before them, the little creature simply screamed at it and the giant monster fell unconscious…

It could not handle the primordial fear, something the rest of them had also felt in that brief moment, caused by the creature.

It was unlike any fear that could be caused by any creature. He might have compared it to the dragon fear, an innate skill of the true dragon race, but since this creature was not a dragon, they believed it was something similar, and perhaps something much more effective than the innate fear of the most perfect existence of nature…

[2 Days till the Day of change…]

Alex received three powers when she achieved her second awakening, the first of which was her familiar.

She also unlocked another one of her Servants, a craftsman master that had created the locks which graded all three of her treasuries.

It was a good thing since the time they were going to need to pass through all the long trials in order to reach the final door to her treasures was cut short significantly with the presence of that one person.

Though they still had to pass through all the trials and face all the monsters, since she had obtained her cute little partner as well as the servant that she needed the most at this moment, they were able to cross all the dangers and reach her hidden treasury a day before the timer was going to end…

[23 hours till the Day of change…]

The third ability that she unlocked when she obtained her second awakening, was in fact a power that would be useful to her in her following battles.

She was still far weaker than her previous self, but with this new ability to 'negate' any authority or skill or power of any being, a unique skill she had obtained through a rigorous [Legacy Quest] in the past, she was certainly ready for the new world that they were going to witness…

"I want you to stay here for the time being."

Her treasury was filled with riches and items of various origins. It contained enough materials to create a kingdom from scratch, and there were enough resources here for Misha, Rin, Az, and Miu's survival for the following few years.

Her servant that she had just recovered, the person that had created the gate of this treasury, was not the one that made this place.

It was her mage servant that she yet did not have, however, she was going to have him soon.

But until then, Meg, this Master craftsman that had made numerous arts in her prime and knew as much about magic and this world about any colored saint, was going to be enough to take care of them in this place.

Since they all were important to Elio, they were also important to her and besides, they were safer here than most other places in either of the worlds.

"Victor and Meg will take care of you."

Since she had various important and useful items in this place, she first filled up her inventory with all the things she was going to need in the future.

Then, she upgraded Elio's inventory with the help of the special stones that were used for the upgrade of the Player inventory and maxed it out as well.

Doing so was necessary since he was going to Need a lot of things going forward, so she filled his inventory with all kinds of things that she knew he might need, or even with items that were related to quests that she had never been able to complete herself.

He did not like receiving so much from her, but in the end, he did not fight back much.

It was just her way of showing her affection, and he could not say anything about it. At least for now…

[12 hours till the Day of change…]

"We will be leaving now, everyone."

They had rested, they had showed Misha and Alex around, and now they were leaving.

"The next time we meet…"

As Elio looked at these two ladies, these two natives who had spent their entire life in only this world, and thought about how they might witness a completely new world soon… he could not help his sadness.

Truthfully, he did not want them to know about that dangerous, filthy world of theirs.

But…

"It might just be in a completely new world."

It wasn't in his hands.

He could not stop what was going on.

He was not Strong enough…
