Chapter ?1577 Staying

It took them another few days before reaching the monster's territory and going their separate ways.

Upon his arrival, the Dark King immediately reported everything to the Frost Saint.

"So, what do you think about him?" The Frost Saint asked.

"He was insane. His adaptability was beyond my imagination… no, more like, instead of adaptability, he seems to be able to learn something new far faster than anyone else." The Dark King remembered Theo copying a few powerful abilities to destroy his enemy.

"I see." The Frost Saint closed his eyes as if thinking about something else. After a few minutes, he asked, "Tell me the rest about it."

"Understood." The Dark King nodded and began telling the entire thing from the battle to Theo's worries.

The Frost Saint was amused by what he found. He asked a few questions to understand Theo better.

…

Meanwhile, Theo and the rest were heading straight for their home and finally reached their base two days later.

When they entered their base, they didn't find any change inside the base. There was only Jeff and his sister working on the field and just having fun with it. There was even a canvas of them playing together as if Jeff had created it before playing on the field.

When they arrived, Jeff soon felt their presence and turned around. Upon seeing Theo, he hurriedly ran to him to greet him. "Ah! You're back."

"Yeah. How are you?"

"I'm good. We're good. There is no problem around here." Jeff assured Theo.

"I see." Theo nodded and turned to the others. "I guess that's all. You're free to do anything."

Felix was the first to disappear, not wanting to wait to meet his daughter. Soon, Coline also walked away to prepare for a feast for their victory while Rea began working again, checking everything to confirm their conditions.

In a minute, they had left. Theo looked at Jeff and said, "It seems that you're having fun here, Jeff."

"Yeah. I can't hide it from you."

"It's just…" Theo scratched the back of his head. "I'm thinking about leaving this place soon."

"Ah?! Leaving for good?"

"Well, this place is like a temporary base."

"I see." Jeff thought for a moment. "To be honest, I and my sister have come to realize that we enjoy a slow living."

"Even in our new home, I will surely get a place for that slow living too. Just tell me about the requirement and we can find a new place with that thought in mind. Of course, I'm making sure that we won't be leaving anymore. It's kinda annoying to become a nomad."

"I see. I shall follow your decision." Jeff finally agreed after Theo's promise. Back when he was first following Theo, he always desired to be his right hand man. Even if he couldn't, he was satisfied with becoming his left hand.

However, no one could change Felix's position in Theo's heart, while Theo's left hand had several candidates like Walker, Akbar, and Ruth.

So, when he dropped the thought of becoming an important person, he came to realize that he was actually having fun with this kind of lifestyle. He would still support Theo but from the back.

He just let the others fight for that position.

Jeff asked, "How long do we have left?"

"Mhm? Around four to five months."

"That's good enough for me." Jeff nodded and politely excused himself. "Then…"

After bowing his head to him, Jeff walked away. Theo felt happy that Jeff became more relaxed. He surely hoped that he didn't have to leave anymore after finding this next place.

He just wanted a place to settle down. "Anyway, this place is going to be a temporary base for me to keep an eye on the union. I have to establish a few things first."

Theo wanted to start working before he noticed Hel standing outside her house as if waiting for Theo to come to him.

Since she wanted to talk, Theo approached her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Hel looked at him for a moment as if she was hesitant to talk about it. But since she had made her decision, she told Theo. "I'm going to stay here."

"Huh?" Theo widened his eyes in surprise. "You're not going with us?"

"Yeah." Hel nodded with a serious expression. "It's not that I don't like your group. I even consider myself one of them since they're fun to hang out with. But at the end of the day, I like my undead more… Well, that's not the point.

"Anyway, I'm going to stay here. Knowing my father, he's surely somewhere in this world, doing something that he loves. So, I'm going to stay here to wait for him… I'm pretty sure he's going to find this place."

"Really?"

"Well, just think about it… Knowing his personality, can you imagine him suddenly appearing before you as your last enemy, saying, 'Hahaha, you think there is a being in the higher dimension? No, it's all my scheme.' Or something along the lines."

"…" Theo facepalmed and started sweating. "Sorry… He is the kind of person I can't help but say that it is possible. No, I should say it's weird if he doesn't do something like that."

"Ugh. Sorry… I somehow felt ashamed of having him as a father."

"…" Both of them fell silent while cursing the God of Mischief in their hearts. Knowing his personality, the God of Mischief might do that to troll the entire world.

"Anyway, I'm going to stay here." Hel returned to the topic. "I have learned a bit about living here, so I can simply use my undead to take care of this place. That is if you don't take our Covenant Seal for your new home."

Theo knew that his next home would be smaller if he didn't take back the Covenant Seal, but when he thought about it, he somehow agreed with Hel. "I will give you this place. Though, I have to shrink this place a bit and remove some details to get a portion of my power back.

"Of course, I'm going back here to expand it from time to time. What do you think?"

"I don't mind." Hel nodded, reaching an agreement with Theo.
