Chapter 612: *That sound was really the sweetest that existed for them*
As Axel was really powerful now, he had, of course, felt this immeasurable power coming from a purple dungeon, and he had also recognized the power of the Cradle of Magic when Yelena had destroyed all their force shields.
And as he had felt Miguel and Elias’ presence, he had let them handle it, and Elias explained everything to him after that.
He told him that Iris and Helena, who were both part of the first Warrior Spirits to have appeared, had been unable to help Yelena fully control her powers and that she had been like a time bomb since she had opened a connection with the Cradle of Magic.
Axel hadn’t felt the threat before because, with Kevin, they had been quite busy lately, and they were often in other worlds. So Elias told him that Julian had proposed to help Yelena, and since Iris’s instincts were telling her to trust him, she let him join them in the purple dungeons.
He then reported to him what Iris and Helena had told him about Julian and his hidden talents. He even told him that for him there was no doubt that Julian was a Sage.
Elias explained everything to him: what Julian had said to Yelena and the boost they all received in their basic stats thanks to her blessing...
Elias didn’t ask him, but he had guessed that if Elias had taken the time to explain everything to him, it was for him to share this information with Kevin, and so that’s what he did.
Kevin nodded after he had finished explaining everything to him and said, still using their link, "I see, so I was right to feel that something was different with Julian and his way of teaching students... And you were right about Yelena; she is really unique too. Now that her connection with the Cradle of Magic is stable, she just has to learn how to use it, and Julian will be perfect to teach her."
When Kevin told Axel to find a suitable partner for Ashton so he could participate in the duo fight tournament, he hadn’t expected that after Axel had found Erik, a Warrior Spirit who was waiting to awaken, he would find someone like Yelena.
Moreover, at that time, even if he already knew that Ashton would be an undeniable asset for them, he never expected him to be a Priest...
Kevin then told him, "You are right; a lot of things have happened and it is all good news, but Erik being pregnant is definitely the best news ever."
Axel then looked at their daughter and said to Kevin, "Indeed, there is no better news than this, and there is no happiness comparable to that of becoming a father... I’m so happy for them."
Kevin smiled because for him too, Willow’s birth was by far his best memory, followed closely by her first transformation into her human form.
All the moments the three of them had shared were very precious memories for Kevin, and Axel said to him, rubbing his nose against his cheek, "Soon our daughter will have brothers and sisters to play with, and she will have lots of playmates with whom she will be able to use her powers without risk, because all our friends’ future children will be exceptional; I’m sure of it... Not to mention the ones my father intends to have with Colin and those of Elias and Miguel!"
Kevin then gently pushed away a dumpling of their daughter that had fallen on her forehead and said to him, "If this war wasn’t so close to breaking out, Miguel and Colin would probably already be pregnant too... And we would all be able to enjoy these moments of happiness."
Axel looked at him while stroking their daughter’s hair and told him, "Soon this will all be a bad memory, and we will make sure that our world becomes a safe haven for the next generation."
Kevin smiled at him and said, "I can’t wait for this time to come..."
But just before Kevin could kiss him, Willow moved, waking up slowly, and as Kevin’s attention was drawn to their daughter, Axel stole a kiss from him and said, "I can’t wait either!"
When Willow opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Axel kissing Kevin, and she smiled while stretching out like a cat and said to them, in a still sleepy voice, "Me too... Kiss me too, Daddies."
Axel then laughed heartily while Kevin still felt a little embarrassed that their daughter saw them kissing, but it wasn’t the first time, nor the last time she would see them act like this.
So he took Willow in his arms, hugging her, and they both kissed her on the forehead, which made her giggle, and that sound was really the sweetest that existed for them.
After a while, when they’d had time to play with their daughter, who was definitely full of life, Axel said to Willow, "Tonight, Daddy and I will go and loot some purple dungeons. You already know that he needs to increase his Basic Stats as much as possible, so since you have both just slept all afternoon, we will go now. As for you, my little darling princess, I will allow you to go and train in the dimension reserved for Mages on two conditions."
Willow’s eyes lit up immediately, and she waited impatiently to find out what conditions her Daddies had chosen.
Axel had obviously felt her excitement, so he told her, "The first condition is that you change into a Phoenix to strengthen your body and especially your meridians before you can meditate and absorb such large quantities of Golden particles. And the second condition is that before meditating, you must eat enough meat from magical beasts to do so, and don’t worry; your Grandpas have filled up your stock of meat again, and I’m sure they have only chosen the most powerful magical beasts, especially for you."
