Eryndor left the Mind Palace after confirming that there were no changes.

    Once back in his body, he heaved a huge sigh. Everything was back to normal, or maybe not.

    He could feel something different about himself, he could feel that he was more.

    As if the weight of his existence itself has been increased.

    It was a very different feeling, a bit familiar to when he had broken through to Stage One of Qi Gathering realm from being a normal human.

    But back then, the difference wasn’t that as significant as now.

    Is it a qualitative change? A very big one?

    There also seemed to be something more other than just his weight of existence being increased.

    Before he could put a finger on it, the feeling of being more immediately faded. It was as if he would have to do something to activate it again.

    Eryndor didn’t understand, nor did he want to.

    He was tired. Massaging his head, Eryndor drank some water and went to sleep.

    He didn’t feel like doing anything today, it had been extremely stressful. Both his physique and mind felt more exhausted than ever.

    That entire day Eryndor slept peacefully on the bed, with no one disturbing after staff knocked on his door twice.

    They assumed that he must be practicing with extreme focus or was just sleeping.

    Eryndor who had fallen on the bed in the morning directly woke up in the afternoon of the next day.

    "Ahhh."

    Everything suddenly felt better after a good sleep. He wasn’t surprised by the amount of time he slept.

    If anything, with the fatigue which had overcome him the previous day, he thought he would have slept more.

    He tried to summon the feeling of his existence becoming heavier but nothing bore results.

    Chuck it, I’ll try later.

    He took a quick shower and changed into a different pair of clothes before heading towards the dinner room.

    He was famished. His Passive Regeneration only regenerated enough to keep him alive. While in battle though, it would recover the wounds and energy he spent while fighting.

    It would be difficult for them to do so.

    Every one of them thought it was some space phenomenon, so they wouldn’t think it was a deliberate work of someone to match the timing of the spaceship to the battle.

    At most, they would chalk it up to coincidence.

    After donning the battlesuit over his Sovereign’s Cloak, Eryndor moved out of his room and arrived at the main room.

    It was time for the third planet they would stop at, and it would also be an important one.

    Important because the spaceship was low on fuel, if they didn’t manage to recover at least enough to reach the fourth and last checkpoint planet, then the situation would turn dire.

    As everyone was gathered in the main room once again, they went through a few basic information of the planet and some common instructions.

    Suddenly though, Eryndor could feel his energy of Consciousness draining rapidly.

    He could feel it was his Sovereign’s Cloak which had been activated. Certain runes lit up upon them, powered by the energy of Consciousness before they stopped.

    What was that?

    He kept his expression under control, and acted normally as the short meeting concluded.

    His first thought was naturally Liliana.

    Was I exposed?

    That was nearly impossible, Eryndor had taken no such actions. That only meant that the attack was launched on everyone.

    But then, I am pretty sure not everyone has a mental defense treasure.

    Eryndor could see that no one was acting differently, or weirdly. They were just behaving like they usually did.

    What was the purpose of that?

    He glanced at Liliana from the corner of his eyes. Who could he doubt other than her?

    Eryndor made a point to himself to keep a watch on Liliana’s movements the next time something like this happened.

    Finally, the spaceship landed, and the hatch was opened. Everyone went about their own ways, with Eryndor going off alone.

    Once he was sufficiently far away, he stopped, and gazed in the direction team Lockheim had left.

    There was just one thing he needed to do before starting his solo hunt.
