Chapter 319 Voidweaver's Orb
"Congratulation Saahira. Now you are an SSS Rank Legacy holder," Alex said with a bright smile as he walked toward her.
Alex's words seemed to pierce through the cloud of confusion in her eyes. However, instead of displaying sheer joy or relief, Saahira gazed at him and began silently muttering.
"Sir, is this also an illusion?" She questioned hesitantly as she stepped back.
"Yes, it must be. I'm still in the trial. I will not fail. I am going to pass the trial and acquire the legacy to become a valuable member of the organization." Saahira said, her voice quivering with unwavering resolve.
Alex wasn't surprised by Saahira's continued skepticism as he understood that acquiring a legacy from a realistic trail would be an overwhelming experience, and it would take some time for the trial-taker to come to terms with their new reality.
"Saahira, calm down and give the command to log out. When you've had some time to rest and recover, you can come back online," Alex said as he appeared before.
"This is a trial. If I do as you say, I will fail the trial," Saahira said as she quickly stepped back and withdrew her azure mage staff defensively.
Seeing her take his words as mere lies, Alex knew Saahira needed some time and rest to recover, as even though only ten hours had passed outside, in the trial, she had lived for three days, which felt like years to her, and now all she was focussed on was clearing the trial.
"Saahira, you should take a small nap," Alex said, and instantly, her eyes widened, and her body seemed to go limp as her heart stopped beating.
Alex caught her gently as she began to fall backward and carefully laid her on the chamber floor.
Alex sat beside her, a contented smile gracing his face because a great possibility of failure was always present despite his confidence in Saahira.
If there had been any alterations to the legacy trial beyond what the Ugly Merchant Guild disclosed, then there remained a significant chance that the current Saahira would not be deemed suitable to inherit the legacy.
But everything went well, and Now his organization had another member with one of the best top-ranked hybrid legacies that could make Saahira not only one of the best healers, even rivaling the best of the Healers, but also a fire-wielding mage with monstres destructive might.
Alex went back to meditation, waiting for Saahira to wake up, and a little over an hour later, she regained consciousness.
"Check Your System Notification Log," Alex said with a calm smile, and although still displaying clear emotions of alertness and a hint of distress, Saahira sat upright and nodded in understanding.
"I am sorry for how I reacted earlier," Saahira said, with her head down after a few minutes of silence.
"You should be responding with cheers, not bringing the mood down with an apology."
"You are now an SSS Rank legacy Holder," Alex said with a chuckle as he taped her on the shoulder.
"Sir, Thank you, Thank you so much for everything," Saahira said, her voice breaking as tears of joy filled her eyes.
"After that, I woke up in that white crystalline chamber and walked through the passage to reach this chamber, and then you know what happened," Saahira said, with bright eyes and a smile on her face.
'Now I am curious if Saahira gained this summoning skill in my previous life because I sure remember never seeing her transform into anything of such nature,'
'Well, I would find out eventually,' Alex thought as he stood up, ready to leave.
"I have sent you a new contract," Alex said, and he sent Saahira a new contract that was a bit more restrictive than the last one but also gave major benefits.
Saahira, with a smile on her quickly nodded and agreed to the contract without spending any time reading it.
"Use this Ring to change your status," Alex said, throwing her a disguise ring before moving toward the crack to leave this place for good.
Alex and Saahira rode on the bird to reach the capital city, Nova, and from there, he went to a hotel, waiting for Feldar to contact him while she returned to Malefis Domain.

(Four Hours Later)
In the well-lit hotel room, two men sat opposed to each other, having cups of tea placed before them.
"You have my gratitude for saving my sister's life, and to pay the debt of saving her life, I am willing to give away my most precious treasure that I thought would stay with me until my last breath." Feldar began as he took out a fist-sized orb and placed it on the table.
Alex's eyes widened as he laid his gaze upon it. The orb was a magnificent creation, made from pristine crystal with a dark black and purple miasmic mist swirling mysteriously inside it.
"The Elemental Ruler who saved the city of Molentia from the demons was Elincia Rardinthril, the Master of the StormBearer faction from the Thunder Knight Order."
"After using some connections to get an audience with her, I found out she went to the city because of her niece, Telyssa Rardinthril, who asked her to do so at a time when other, more important cities were under siege, and this was all thanks to a timely call of help from you."
"So not only did you save my sister's life once, but twice. And with her, you saved many other innocent lives." Feldar said and continued after moments of silence.
"I hope the Voidweaver's Orb fulfills your requirements, and as for the payment of it, consider it more than paid with the debt I owe you, and even if in the future you need my help, don't hesitate to contact me," Feldar said as he stood offering a handshake.
Alex was prepared to offer tens of legendary items, gold coins, Honor Points, and anything he could get his hands on to get the Voidweaver's Orb, and if Feldar hadn't offered it himself, he was ready to use some force.
But seeing Feldar's willingness to not earn anything back on his treasured item made him keep silent and refrain from even offering some compensation to not undermine his sacrifice and genuine appreciation.
Alex returned the handshake, his heart filled with a profound sense of gratitude and respect for the man willing to part away with his strongest treasure to repay a debt.New novel chapters are published on no/vel(b)in(.)co/m
