Wain talked to Felix on various topics, mostly about how long it took him to collect all this treasure and what the most valuable thing he has here is.
"Damn, I get that you're a good thief based on your skills, but haven't you ever been spotted? I mean... How could you steal this and get away without getting caught?" Wain asked in disbelief as he pointed to a massive statue of an angel with four wings.
There was an unusual aura emanating from the statue that occasionally made the jars of souls sway and the gold coins next to them jingle.
[Statue of the Merciful Angel
A special statue that spreads a soothing aura. Some Angels take a long time to gather enough resources to create this piece of art which helps them absorb energy faster]
"Hah, that was pretty fun. I didn't even know such things existed, so when I tried to steal it the whole Void came out against me. They were incredibly angry, however, they didn't manage to catch me." Felix said with a bitter smile.
"Are you really that fast?" Wain tilted his head.
"Well, honestly I'm proud of my speed, but then my skills helped me. I mean, even without the darkness from open space, over the years of practice I've learned to maneuver between spaces pretty well." Felix shrugged.
"I see... You were able to find a weak spot in their space, so it allowed you to create a gap and escape..." Wain muttered with a thoughtful expression, rubbing his chin, then his eyes went wide.
"Hmm? Is something wrong?" Felix was puzzled.
"Felix... There are weaknesses in every area, aren't there?" Wain asked as he waved his hand.
Felix nodded slowly, still not understanding what Wain was getting at.
"Given your abilities, you could easily find them in our Void, right?" Wain suggested.
Felix nodded again.
Wain smirked, "Fine, in that case, I'd appreciate it if you would. If we can reinforce all the weaknesses, it will make our Void an impregnable fortress, no one without a declaration of war will be able to enter our territory."
"Well...it's not a problem for me, it'll just take me a while to gradually find each breach, but there is one problem." Felix muttered as he turned to the side.
Wain looked at him questioningly.
"I can find the trouble spots, but there's no way I can fix or reinforce them." Felix looked slightly guilty.
"Hah, don't worry about it. I'm sure Elegan can easily reinforce the weak points." Wain grinned.
"Agh... in that way, I'll be glad to help." Felix sighed in relief.
Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.
Among Felix's vast array of treasures, Reto tried to find something worthy of his attention, for it was his only chance. He had already explored the entire surface, so he had to go further and literally jump inside the sea of gold coins.
"Damn... Looks like Reto is trying to find your most valuable treasure..." Wain mumbled awkwardly, "I didn't think he'd be so greedy... This is unexpected."
"No... it's strange. I'm pretty sure that all of my most valuable treasures are here on the surface. Only the most common and useless things that I have long since forgotten about are down there..." Felix was puzzled.
They stared at the trembling coins for a while until Reto finally showed himself. Felix and Wain's faces changed as they thought Reto had found something suitable, but then they could only shake their heads in disappointment.
Whooooooooosh.
Reto's aura intensified as he created several dozen illusions, he hadn't worked this hard even during the battle with Frigus. Each illusion had its own task, so for the next ten minutes, Reto instead of his illusions checked almost every object in Felix's Void.
Felix felt as awkward as Wain, they both didn't expect Reto to take this task so seriously.
'Damn... Now I feel bad for Felix... I mean, he invaded my Void, but I thought Reto would just take some normal item and that would be the end of it. What the hell is he doing?' Wain inwardly muttered, little by little he already wanted to stop Reto as it was disrespectful to Felix.
Crackle.
Suddenly all illusions vanished as Reto appeared not far from Felix. Reto looked completely exhausted as if he had been through a deadly long fight.
"Agh... Agh... Agh..." Reto breathed heavily trying to regain his strength, then his gaze lowered, "Well, at least it was definitely worth it."
Reto was practically glowing with happiness, the reason for this was a simple sealed jar with some massive seeds inside. Each seed was the size of Reto's palm.
"Was he really doing all this for these seeds? What is this stuff anyway?" Wain was completely baffled.
"Let's find out!" Felix exclaimed with an excited expression before running toward Reto. Wain immediately followed him.
A tall shadow appeared behind Reto and Wain said, "Reto, what the hell were you doing? Do you have any idea how what you were doing looked like from the outside? I hope those seeds are worth it."
Reto turned around, immediately startled by Wain's menacing appearance. He stared at Reto intently, with his arms crossed over his chest.
"Hey... Don't give me that look, didn't you say yourself that I could take anything?" Reto smiled awkwardly, trying to ease the tension, "Moreover, I took exactly what only I could use, without taking Felix's most valuable treasures that he had spent much effort to obtain."
Wain raised an eyebrow, then he sighed and his aura weakened, "Well, your words make sense, but it was still strange. What are these seeds anyway?"
Reto smiled slightly, stood up, and touched the jar.
