Primordial Soul's Rebirth

[Antagonist's Quest: -

Quest objective: A regressed demon of a dying family has set his eyes on something that is yours; handle the situation accordingly.

Completed.]

Alex, who was sitting in a dojo-like hall filled with different kinds of weapons, saw this notification flash in front of his eyes, and he couldn't stop a smile from marring his face.

'I knew that Azaroth would be able to do it.'

Alex beamed inwardly.

This was the reason he had sent the demon ancestor—someone who was so strong that even Alex with his SD (Shatter Devourer) form wouldn't be able to make him lose some blood—to kill Rohrg.

He had the option to just send Nyx, but he had a feeling that it wouldn't have ended well.

It might've just fueled the civil war, as there was a chance that Rohrg could have talked Nyx into his side—which means a demon general on his side.

That alone was enough to give the ones siding with him more courage.

So, Alex decided to send Azaroth.

[The reward is being calculated.]

Another notification that arrived right after the first one, made Alex's eyes shine in anticipation.

For a second, he forgot that there was someone else with him.

"What's wrong?"

A melodious voice was heard, causing Alex to look up with a smile.

"It's nothing; I just got rid of a cockroach," Alex replied with a wave of his hand, but the smile on his face caused the one in front to giggle.

The giggle, however, slowly died down, replaced by a soft smile on the pink-haired lady's face.

"It's been a while since I saw you smile for real."

Luna, the pink-haired beauty, gently spoke as she looked at Alex with a tender gaze.

Her words, however, caused the smile on Alex's face to reside, and a melancholy light flashed in his eyes.

'Ah, shit…'

Luna realized her mistake.

She realized that, in the heat of the moment, she uttered the words in her mind out loud, and now Alex was reminded about the fact that he was not with Alice and Ann.

But just then...

"Master! I broke through!"

A cheerful yet enchanting voice was heard.

It sounded like the voice of an 18- or 19-year-old girl—one with a jumpy and cheery personality.

When Alex heard that voice, his lips automatically morphed into a smile again, and Luna, who saw that, smiled in relief.

*Woosh*

The next instant, a black flash passed through the hall—the training hall with all kinds of weapons in it—and lunged at Alex.

Both Luna and Alex knew who it was, so they didn't try to attack whoever it was.

Alex even opened his arms, as if inviting them into his arms, and the black flash that seemed to be 2 meters tall and 4 meters long started to shrink.

It decreased in size so fast that it was just an arm's length before it smashed into Alex's chest.

"Hahahaha, good job, pup."

Alex, who caught that black flash, just laughed out loud and started stroking the soft fur of the beast that he had in his arms now.

It was a chibi black wolf with stark black eyes and ink-black fur that matched Alex's hair.

"Hehehe…"

The wolf giggled in delight as she heard her master's compliment, rubbing her head against his arms that were already patting her head.

Yes, as you would've already guessed, it was Noctura, and she was finally back to action again. That too with an epic-ranked power.

As told before, beasts' power up to epic was a bit different from humans; they had to absorb the mana through their skins or furs and strengthen their bodies while also filling it up with mana until they could no longer do it.

They didn't have to go through the process of forming mana veins, which could be very hard for some beasts.

Noctura, who had been gone for a while, was doing just that.

Where was she?

She was carried by Alex in a pokeball.

You heard it right—a pokeball or something called a 'dimensional nexus'.

The dimensional nexus is a small device that is shaped like a sphere. Once activated, it opens a gateway for a separate dimension where the time moves 10 times faster than the outside.

Everything within that dimension is made for creatures to be stored inside it without having to worry about them.

The air inside is nutrient-filled; just breathing would allow the being taking the air in to not feel hungry for an extended period of time.

So, calling it a pokeball was not wrong.

Alex had sent Noctura in there before he used his ability to travel from one world to another, with just one task, and that was to try to push through the EX rank and break through the epic rank.

Alex had already bought her this afternoon, but he found her sleeping, so he let her enjoy her time.

Later, when Noctura woke up, she panicked as she felt an aura much stronger than what she had felt before heading toward her.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Her fur stood to an end, but before she could attack or do something, she heard a voice just from her side.

"Your master is in the training hall right below you, and you should take the stairs if you want to reach him."

*Shiver*

Noctura had a shiver run down her spine the moment she realized that the presence she had been feeling was already by her side, but as his words settled in, the fear in her mind vanished, and her body moved on its own.

She rushed to meet Alex, her master.

Her eyes were shining with happiness.

She didn't even look back at Nyx, who had said those words.

He himself didn't care about Noctura; he was just following the order he was given by the demon lord.

"Protect the wolf, and inform her about my whereabouts the moment she wakes up."

Nyx did just that before he vanished from the spot.

Noctura, on the other hand, was just so happy to meet her master again that she even forgot about Nyx.

She just kept rubbing her head on Alex's palm as her body melted into Alex's warm embrace.

She didn't even notice that Ann and Alice weren't there.

For now, she just wanted to enjoy her time with her master.

Alex was happy to have Noctura back as well; she was someone he treated like a daughter, after all, and having her back with him was enough to bring a smile to his face.

The fact that she was now an epic-ranker was just a plus.

[The reward has been calculated and is ready to be granted.

Would you like to open the reward right now?]

Just then, a new notification flashed in front of Alex's eyes, causing his smile to widen a bit.
