Chapter 994 Nephilim's Dreams 1

??-----

As we moved back with everyone else, we suddenly heard some news from the other two groups, apparently they also found two other murals in the other two paths. We went to left path first, and then the right.

And what we found there were the clues about where the Slimes had gone after they decided to leave these caves after the invasion of the Golems we had just defeated…

"Apparently they divided into three groups…" Pyuku sighed. "The first group, composed of Slimes that were hardy and strong, moved to the Golden Dunes. The second group of Slimes that were better off in wet areas, moved to the West Wetlands. And lastly, the third group, composed of Slimes that desired to live peacefully over grasslands, went to the East Grasslands."

"So that's how it is!" Aquarina said. "With this we can look for them and see if any of them are still alive!" She was really excited.

"I think the same too…!" Pyuku nodded. "But… would it be alright, by everyone? T-To go this far for me?"

"What are you talking about?" My father asked. "Of course it's alright, don't you worry about the details."

"We came here mostly to relax and have some vacations. Exploring the continent was our plans too, so we might as well." My mother nodded. "It is a vacation where we can do anything we want! I really needed one like that…"

"You've been working really hard lately, mom." I nodded. "Not just lately, all these years… You definitely need like a year break."

"Well, next year once we travel to the Saintess Inheritance, that'll count as a vacation too~" She smiled. "There's several touristic towns I'll visit, hehe…"

"Oooh, really?" Wondered Mist excitedly. "Then those are also towns we'll visit!"

"Hehehe, can't wait auntie!" Lara was just as excited.

"I'll be going too?" Wondered Zephyrus.

"Of course dear, you'll come with mommy for a little vacation and sightseeing." My mom nodded.

"Yaaay!" Zephyrus was also happy.

Aquarina and the rest, who were going strictly to train, didn't felt it was fair that my mom's group would be enjoying it much more than us…

"A bit unfair, huh?" Nepheline sighed.

"Hahah, leave it be." Shade only laughed a bit. "Unlike her, we've been slacking off a lot these last years… I've grown rusty too, we need to train. Aquarina won't be the only one getting into shape."

"I guess you're not wrong." Nepheline nodded. "Ninhursag, you too?"

"Indeed, I need to attain a greater comprehension of my abilities, the Inheritance we're going to might be the key for that. And it might also amplify the strength of Luck and Zack, the most compatible with it. I've been shaping Zack to be compatible with my inheritance all this time, so he better does his best." Ninhursag said. "Alright son?"

"I'll do my best mom!" Zack was pumped up. "I'll inherit your family- No, our family's legacy no matter what!"

"I hope my ancestors will allow that…" Ninhursag smiled. "At the very least, your conviction is already top notch- And about Luck, you too will benefit greatly."

"I feel like unlike Zack, I don't really deserve that…" Luck admitted. "But… so I can grow stronger, I will do my best too."

"Don't say such things, you're worthy too, you're the Hero of Wild Beasts and all of that!" Said Zack. "Cheer up man!"

"Haha, thanks, Zack." Luck ended giggling innocently at his friend's words.

"So anyways, don't worry about it Pyuku." My dad said. "We'll go and explore this place, have fun, and try to find your people. It shouldn't be too hard, I believe!"

"Thanks…" Pyuku smiled, feeling really relieved.

"…"

Nephilim, who had been accompanying us so far, had been quite silent since Pyuku's incident, as if she had been thinking a lot lately about many things.

While Aquarina was busy with Pyuku as we made our way back home, I approached her to ask her what was wrong with her.

"Nephi? Are you feeling alright?" I asked.

"Huh? Master? Yes, I'm alright. I am working at 100% of functionality. All my motor receptors are working properly. My Mana Core is letting your Mana flow through my body naturally." She analyzed her own composition. "I am fine and working."

"N-No, I didn't mean it in the literal sense." I sighed. "Alice… Is she always like this?"

"Well she had always been a bit rough around the edges. But she had been learning more how to express herself lately, give it a chance." Alice giggled a bit. "Nephi, she meant deep down, your feelings. You have not been talking for a while, and you seem to be in very deep thoughts."

"Ah…" Nephi quickly realized what we meant, but she only remained in silence afterwards for a couple of seconds, looking the ground. "I apologize for not interacting much. Wha happened to Pyuku… It has somehow reminded me of my past and my creation."

"Of your past?" I wondered.

"Wait, did you remember some of your memories?" Alice wondered.

"Finally?" Ignatius butted in into the conversation.

"Finally?!" Naturia reacted similarly.

"I-I… Well, something. A few fragments of my past…" Nephilim sighed. "But I've been trying to decipher them a bit, and whenever I see them over and over again through my memory database, I get this feeling… of sadness and loneliness…"

Her eyes seemed lightless, filled with sadness. I didn't know she was going through that on her own, alone and without anybody to ask her what was wrong with her.

"I'm here for you, tell me what you saw, and we can talk about it together." I said. "You're not alone, dummy… I freed you from those ruins where you were trapped, and I said I would take care of you, right?"

"Master…" Nephilim felt a bit better, her eyes gaining some of their light, as she seemed to blush a bit. "T-Thanks… It's not something easy to talk about but… If its you, I can talk. Can we get back home first? Your first home has a special warmth to it, it made me feel comfortable."

"Okay, sure." I nodded, patting her shoulders.
