"It's time to leave." A voice called for a young boy from behind the doors. It was a very melodic and feminine voice that spoke out the beauty of the owner of it.
The boy who was inside, with his cute features and slightly long black hair that covered his eyes, stood up and walked into the room.
The person he met at the door was a charming woman in the middle of her twenties with an extremely seductive body and very gorgeous looks. She was akin to a succubus from the world of demons but with the innocent expression of an angel.
"Let's go."
The two then walked to the main door of the mansion slowly.
It has been exactly 2 months and 3 weeks since Acht saw the Nightingale appear again and threaten to hijack the biggest event that is made yearly. This news created a huge wave across the world and kingdoms. People felt threatened by the existence of the Nightingale in that convention. There were even many people that went out into the streets in protests to make them cancel the convention for that year.
However, after multiple meetings between the kings and the governments of each kingdom, they decided to continue with the preparations for the convention since the losses from canceling it will be colossal.
All this chaos was something that Acht didn't care about, since during that time, he only focused on training like a maniac.
In just two months, he experienced an evolution in his prowess. Not an increase or an improvement but an evolution since he is basically different from his old self by such a huge margin.
The first thing that changed was his physique, he now has the ideal body that anyone could dream of. He had well-trained but lean muscles that didn't make him look buff or huge.
Then, we have the thing that changed the most, his aura. Through these months he returned to his old level and even exceeded it, reaching a level 4 orange soul!
That level took him so many soul stones to reach that he made Leislet basically pay a fortune for them. But, she didn't complain, in fact, she felt really glad to help him like that so he didn't care. It was a part of their deal after all.
He was now so strong that he could kill a level 1 green soul which was the next soul level as if he was playing with a small child. This level of strength was unprecedented at such an age and could even make him a target by the families and guilds that will attend the Mystic Soul Convention.
However, since he was basically sponsored by Leislet, that was also a kind of solid protection for him since no one would want to offend the hunter association president.
The last thing that he evolved was his gravity element, he was now basically a gravity monster. He could even throw a boulder the size of the house around as if it was a doll.
He was also able to crush a huge serpent monster to death as if he was squeezing a lemon. Before, gravity was also a strong weapon for him but it didn't have the destructive power to make it usable in all situations so Acht had to be smart enough to use it to his advantage and abuse its rules.
In a nutshell, he was now a walking small monster. But, he knew that there will be people stronger than him at the tournament so he didn't let it go through his head.
Extremely hard fights that will make him surpass his limits are a given in this place.
*************************
"We are finally here. Mystic Soul City." Leislet said as she looked through the window of the private jet. They have been in the air for 40 hours straight.
But, because the jet was so luxurious and had all the necessary things for a comfortable ride, Acht and Leislet didn't feel any kind of exhaustion from it.
Acht also looked through the window, curious to see what kind of place this was. What welcomed him from this height was the majestic appearance of a massive city that was somehow similar yet different to Lagradon.
'So this is the legendary floating city of this world, huh.' He thought to himself with clear admiration for this amazing beauty of a city.
Mystic Soul City was indeed a city that was located on a floating island in the middle of the northern continent. No one knows how this island is still floating to this day.
This place was neutral and didn't belong to any kingdom. Or, to be more precise, it belongs to all of the kingdoms. It was where the massive convention will happen after all.
The jet finally landed at the airport and they could finally quit that place. No one wants to be stuck in a room for 40 hours let alone a flying jet.
When they were out, Acht breathed in a mouthful of air. Even though they were in the air in the middle of the sky, there was no feeling of suffocation or lack of oxygen.
"How is that possible?" He muttered.
Leislet heard him and she smiled before pointing upward.
"Look at that?"
"Hmm?" He looked up and he saw something very interesting.
There was something akin to a translucent barrier that covered the whole city and extended and seemingly extended to no end.
"That is the protection barrier that was made especially for this city from any flying monsters. It also creates oxygen as a secondary function to keep the place habitable for normal people and awakeners too." She explained briefly before walking down the stairs of the flight.
Acht didn't move immediately, he looked at the horizon with a deep gaze. This place will be where his destiny will be determined. He either soars through the skies just like this Mystic city or falls to the ground never to wake up again.
"Don't disappoint me, Mystic Soul City." He muttered before following Leislet with a small smile on his face.
