Cheat Awakening-Chapter 639. A Crash

Sylphy gave June an apologetic smile, and the other party waved her hand, signaling her not to worry too much.

Although there were hundreds of questions in Gale's heart, he wondered why everyone seemed so casual about Sylphy's statement that they were all more powerful than him. While he could understand Myne being strong, what about Aisha? He had read her file—she was just a good archer. Gale was confident he could easily defeat her with his skills. Then there was Amy, who had no combat abilities and was only a potion master.

However, as a good subordinate who had spent most of his life working under someone, Gale quickly accepted this and said nothing. Either way, it was better for him. He had already been worrying about how he would protect so many people and maintain order in the clan with such a pitifully small number of knights.

Now that he only had to take care of the clan matter, he was naturally more than happy to do so. As for protecting Amy, the mission given to him by Aniue, since she herself showed no interest in being protected, what else could he do? It wasn't like he could force his way into her life and wander around her all day in the name of protecting her, right?

"So, Mr. Gale, where are you staying right now?" Myne asked, breaking the silence as the atmosphere grew a bit awkward. He decided to ask one last question, ready to end their pleasant but slightly boring conversation.

"Ah, do not worry about me. To be honest, my family has also moved into Lucas with me. They're sitting in the carriage outside your house.

"Your Majesty has already arranged a place for us to stay. After leaving here, we plan to visit it, settle everything, and, when your clan officially starts, I will take over the post and begin my work," Gale said, standing up with a polite smile.

"It was a pleasant conversation. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must go. By the way, if you need anything, please do not hesitate to call me. My purpose for being here is to serve you all."

"Now, please don't say those lame dialogues as if you're part of some cult. It brings back bad memories," Myne replied teasingly. "But thank you anyway. We'll be sure to reach out to you if we need help. By the way, have you seen the house next to ours? My mother-in-law lives there. If I were you, I'd greet her. Compared to us, she's a single lady and surely needs your help more than anyone else," He said with a meaningful look, patting Gale on the shoulder.

While Gale wasn't paying attention, Myne discreetly slipped ten platinum coins into his coat pocket. Otherwise, given Gale's character, he would have certainly refused to accept them.

He didn't want to see a good man living a poor life, especially since Gale had just moved into a new house and likely had many expenses. Myne was confident that the house Gale was given was probably the cheapest in all of Lucas Town, considering how stingy his master, ( Faren and Aniue), could be with his subordinates.

"What! Her Highness the Queen is here?!" Gale exclaimed, his mouth wide open as if someone could put two eggs inside it. Without caring about Myne or anyone else, he hurriedly saluted them and ran out of the house.

"You did that on purpose, didn't you? Knowing full well that Mother won't let him have a peaceful moment after meeting him," Sylphy asked, giving Myne a helpless look.

"Can't help it. Just yesterday at dinner, she was complaining about not having a reliable assistant to share her burden. Now that someone has delivered himself to our door, how could I pretend not to notice him?" Myne shamelessly replied, quoting Aisha's previous words as his own, while putting his arm around Sylphy's shoulder.

"Forget about him. Let's go take a bath. It's been a while since we bathed together."

"All right, since you insist. Anyway, my training is almost complete," Sylphy replied, clearly delighted by the suggestion. She hugged him by the waist, and the two of them, under the narrowed eyebrows of the other three women, pretended to be lovey-dovey as they walked toward the bathroom.

...

"Yawn, where the hell is she? It's already been the third day. Just how long is she going to make me wait?" Myne, sitting alone in the middle of the suspicious hall in the dungeon of the World Tree, complained boredly while waiting for Cetus on what was supposed to be their special date.

"And she's not even picking up my calls. Only God knows where the hell she is," Myne sighed, putting down the book in his hand. He looked up at the dark passage that seemed to have no end and reached all the way out of the World Tree.

To his surprise, under the effect of his night vision, he saw a small dot falling from the sky at a crazy speed. The dot, visible even to the naked eye, grew bigger and bigger...

"F*ck!"

BOOM!

A loud explosion echoed as a giant object fell heavily from the sky and landed flat on the ground.

"Ahh, someone help~" Myne, buried under the unknown object, cried out pityfully. Fortunately, he had activated his Absolute Defense skill and was completely fine despite having a mountain's worth of weight on him. However, he couldn't move even a finger.

But, thankfully, he didn't need to move his body to activate his skills. With a single thought, a portal appeared beneath him, and he fell into it.

"Haaa... What the hell was that?" Myne emerged from the other end of the hall, collapsing onto his knees while breathing heavily. Taking a moment to collect himself, he turned his head toward the mountain-like object that had fallen on him. He was dumbfounded to see the body of a certain someone he had been waiting for.

"F*ck! Cetus, what happened to you? How did you end up like this?" Myne hurriedly ran toward Cetus, whose eyes were closed, and asked telepathically. Thankfully, she was still conscious and replied.

"Hehehe, nothing, just tired. Give me a moment; I'll be fine soon..." Those were the last words she managed to squeeze out before falling silent. No matter how much Myne called, she didn't respond again.

"F*ck, f*ck, what should I do? Should I call Fenrir? But then how am I going to explain what I'm doing here? And it doesn't seem like she's in any mortal danger; otherwise, she might've told me to call for someone. If only Appraisal worked on her, I could paste Ultra Regeneration on her, and she'd recover quickly."

"With a body this huge, I doubt the pitiful amount of healing potions I have will be of any use," Myne muttered worriedly while pacing back and forth. He frantically checked his skills to see if anything could help.

But even after scanning his skill list three times in a row, he found nothing. If she were in her hume form, Myne might have tried experimenting with Regenesis Ray—maybe it could heal her. But considering her current massive body size, it was a pipe dream unless he had an unlimited supply of mana.

After nearly ten minutes of worrying and thinking through every possible scenario, Myne finally concluded that he could do nothing except wait. Sighing in frustration, he took out another chair and sat down to wait for Cetus to wake.

And this wait lasted nearly seven hours.

"Ahhmm, it hurts so much," Cetus groaned softly, slowly opening her eyes. But to her surprise, someone was sleeping right in front of her.

She focused on the small ant-like figure in front of her eye and found that this was Myne, sitting on the chair, a book resting on his chest, sleeping peacefully.

So it was true. I thought I was hallucinating when I heard someone's voice before passing out. But what the hell is he doing here so late at night...?

Ahhh, the date... I completely forgot about that. Has he been coming here every day, waiting for me? So cute. No wonder Fenrir likes him so much. As a lover, he really does have some qualities, Cetus thought happily. Slowly and silently, she lifted her body and transformed into her humanoid form.

"The damage is quite serious... Hehehe, but I finally taught that b*tch a good lesson this time. Let's see if she dares to mess with me again," Cetus murmured while examining herself. Countless cuts and burns marred her snow-white skin, and a chunk of flesh was missing from her left leg as if someone had bitten it off, her beautiful blue hair also had burned seriously, making her look a bit creepy.

"It'll take a long time to recover back to my peak. Sigh... This little guy will have to wait even longer before getting inside me. I was quite excited to finally have some fun, but who would've thought that b*tch would not only increase her elemental efficiency but also find an artefact from the Elemental Plane? God knows who she made a deal with to get it," Cetus grumbled jealously. With a wave of her hand, she used illusion magic to hide her wounds. Then, she approached Myne and gently tapped his forehead.
