Chapter 320: Chapter 320: Dramatic Chapter 320 – Dramatic It took many hours for Noah to finally convince his women that all of their thoughts were unfounded and that all he would do was just travel with Asaemon and Aurelia into some distant world. Of course, they would not do only that. Asaemon made it clear that he wanted a little escapade with them in monster-filled territory in order to bond... while killing them. It sounded pretty murderous, and in fact it was, but the most unnerving thing was that Asaemon didn’t plan to choose any random place to kill. As he said, they were abominations, so they had to do something at their level of absurdity. Noah and Aurelia asked multiple times where they would go, but he stayed silent, telling them it would be a surprise they would immensely love. Needless to say, Noah and Aurelia looked at him suspiciously, their eyes saying everything even though they didn’t say anything: We don’t believe you. Asaemon looked hurt at this unfounded lack of confidence in him—he started to throw a fit and tried to convince them, but niet, Noah and Aurelia were adamant about it. In the end, he sulked like a child and went to traumatize his sister’s fairies in order to relieve some stress. Remembering this, Noah couldn’t help but chuckle lightly under his breath. He genuinely missed Asaemon. It was not to say that he didn’t miss Aurelia, but his brother was more striking and easier to remember. He was the type of family member everyone wanted to hang out with because of how funny and relaxed he was. Aurelia, meanwhile, was the type to only engage with you when you made the first step. You could say she was the reclusive type. The one who preferred to be lost in the infinite worlds and emotions her books gave her, rather than engage with humans too dumb or too bland for her taste. Noah was eager to meet both of them. At that moment, he was in Laeh’s core zone, with Laeh herself in front of him, her expression bearing a satisfied grin. "Why are you grinning so hard, Laeh?" Noah asked with an amused note in his voice. "I played really good with Nixie. This was my first time playing so much, and my playmaker didn’t complain even once. Heheheh. I only stopped because you called me here." "Tell me your business, brother, in the fastest way possible and liberate me so I can go back to play," Laeh said, her voice holding a tone of impatience. Noah looked at her, his face bearing the sight of a father noticing that his daughter had grown up. That type of deep, crunching pain that makes you want to sit on the couch and stare blankly into the void, wondering where the cute daughter who always welcomed you with a beaming smile after work had gone... that little girl who made even the hardest day look like a simple one the moment she spoke with her tiny voice... Yes... That pain was something no good father should go through, but unfortunately, Noah was going through the same thing. He might not be her father, but rather her brother, and yet the pain he felt at being dismissed by Laeh was sharper and more painful than any wound he had ever suffered. He fell silent, unable to speak for a moment, before dramatically collapsing on the ground on his neck, mumbling some unknown things. Laeh tilted her head in confusion, then— "Brother, what are you doing?" she asked as she approached him, hearing more clearly his words... "What’s the point of life... my cute Laeh... where is my cute Laeh... I just wanted to say goodbye... just that... so why...?" He repeated it over and over again. Laeh’s lips twitched hearing him. She then started comforting her dramatic brother—gods knew it was not a minor affair. But after almost half an hour, Noah got up from the ground again, his face wearing a big smile. And as for why that smile? ’Eh. I am indeed the best brother in all the universe.’ He nodded to himself, feeling quite satisfied with Laeh’s words. Finally, after some words of goodbye... Noah disappeared completely from Laeh. This time, he didn’t even appear inside the Shadow Realm, but outside in the ever-changing void space. He appeared there, alone, as he looked at the sight around him. It was dark, but it was illuminated by enough scattered lights that you were able to see clearly. There were pieces of rock as huge as mountains floating aimlessly around, and some other energy that blended seamlessly together in a color of light silver flowing like streams across the expanse. With his incredible perception, Noah was able to sense some other things too—like void beasts, and even treasure and hidden realms. But also another thing... Another creature that was monstrous, but looked like it was dead. Noah turned his head toward that creature. It was a gigantic beast with millions of tentacles circling its body in a protective manner, tentacles visibly able to smash a world like Laeh into billions of splintered pieces in one single strike. Its body was covered with soft black scales shimmering lightly under the dark. Noah tilted his head, feeling a certain sense of déjà vu while looking at it. The reason immediately came to him. "This one feels like Noelle." He said it, but nothing was heard outside, as if his voice was muted. Observing the monster quietly, Noah easily guessed that this was the original body of Noelle. With a deep grin, he took out his photo artifact and snapped some masterpiece-level pictures before putting it back. Instead, he took out a small golden leaf. That leaf was glowing with so much power that surrounding beasts snapped their heads toward Noah, hungrily eyeing the leaf in his hand. Noah didn’t even acknowledge them. If they were dumb enough to approach him, they wouldn’t even know how they died. Instead, he focused on the leaf—the one Aurelia gave him as a way for him to be transported into her realm. He just needed to pour his Authority inside. With a faint smile, his hand began to glow in a cornucopia of colors and enveloped the golden leaf—and immediately, Noah disappeared... going straight to his siblings. The little outing between ridiculous siblings had finally started. —End of Chapter 320—
