"Take care, Prime Arys," said the woman and flew away after checking the thing in the box.
"Do you know what that was?" he asked me angrily.
"Prime Carter. You should understand that I have done you a favor. Without me, you would have died without a doubt."
"So, I would really appreciate it. If your tone is a little grateful," I replied sternly, looking directly into the man's eyes.
She had agreed not to kill, only because of me. Given her power, she could have killed him and me. If not for my strangeness stopping her.
The anger intensified in his eyes, but lasted for a fraction of a second before they turned calm.
"My apologies, Prime Arys. Losing that thing, I got after risking my life, had made me lose control over my emotions," he apologized.
"It's fine. I would have felt the same," I replied with a sigh.
I didn't let escalate it further. I am living in his organization and didn't want to shift yet, despite many offers.
"When did you arrive here?" I asked, changing the subject. A smile appeared on his face upon hearing that.
"An hour after we separated," he replied, to I arched a brow.
"A minute after we separated. I came across the jump pad and I stepped into it. Appearing just half an hour away from this place," he added.
It is what I had expected. There is no way he would have come here so fast with his power.
Even the strongest Prime would have difficulty doing that.
"How did you survive the storm?" he asked. "The same, but the jump pad I had stepped in didn't bring me, that close to the cavern," I replied with a smile.
I do not mind it because despite the difficulties. I had faced, the journey to this place, which had been very beneficial to me.
"I am glad. I was kind of worried about you, despite knowing your ways. The storm wouldn't have been enough to kill you," he said and to that, I grinned.
As the last option. I would have used my abode, and it would have saved me.
We talked for a minute more before our expressions became serious; it was time for the important question.
"Have you found it?" I asked, to that he sighed and shook his head.
"I was not that lucky. Though, I heard, Prime Galimot had found one," he replied.
I don't know. If he is telling the truth or not. He is maintaining his expressions well.
"Well, good luck for people trying to snatch that from him," he added. I didn't even think about; that man being one of the strongest prime.
It would be suicide to snatch it.
"Well, see you later, Prime Carter. I hope you will have better luck than you had till now," I said. "You too, Prime Arys," he replied and walked away.
We didn't mention working together because it's not an option.
If any of us found the thought. We might attack each other. Given we considered each other powerful enough to be a threat.
It's better, that we work separately till we get out of this place.
Soon, he got out of my range, and I brought out the tools once more to search for the forbidden crystal.
As I activated them, I sensed the forbidden power crystal. It is small; smaller than the first one, I had found earlier.
I don't care. As long as it has the forbidden power in it. I will collect it.
For the first time, there was no soul sense covering me, but still, I remained cautious.
A few seconds later, a tiny rock was inside me. It is bigger compared to the other two but has 32% less forbidden power in it.
A few hours passed, and I was lucky enough to find another crystal.
It has more forbidden power than the first, but is smaller than the second one.
I am now in an area filled with trees; there used to be a building here, but something had been destroyed. Now, only broken formations have remained.
Even in such areas, there are people. Searching with tools floating around them.
I was searching like everyone else when I heard a massive bang.
I moved immediately and for a minute and a half later. Stopped beside a man, with a. very weak aura.
"You are lucky to be survived, Prime Pyl," said the Wolf Beastwoman appearing beside. "I know," replied half-elf weakly.
One of the broken formations reacted to his tools. Attacking him.
He is lucky to have survived. I heard that two people have died. These formations are extremely powerful; they will kill even a Peak Prime with Law.
I didn't stay there for long and left within seconds.
The man's state is terrible, and I wanted to heal him. I am confident I could speed up his rate of recovery, but I couldn't. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel⦿fire.net
If my identity is revealed. Then even the man, I am healing wouldn't hesitate to kill me for the forbidden power.
Here, they are searching for the tiny crystals. Getting me; they have access to an unending well. Depending on how they plan to use me.
So, I walked away, and soon, I couldn't even sense him.
It was for the best. Still, I couldn't help but feel the ache in my heart. I love healing, and when I do that, I feel the strongest connection with Marina.
But with how things are, I couldn't practice, no matter how much want.
A few more hours passed, and I didn't find anything, but that didn't stop me.
I do not need forbidden power as much as others. As I have my own forbidden power. I need enough to complete my research.
Which isn't a small amount.
Soon, I stopped and picked up a rock in front of me. There is a tiny thing inside, that is very precious.
I stored it in my storage and moved to search for the crystals.
A little over a minute had passed when my expression changed. No, I didn't find the forbidden crystals.
