Chapter 273: Tianas Shadow

Chapter 273: Tiana's Shadow

Athan and Reikent didn't stay there anymore after Athan finished absorbing the benefits from the crimson power pool.

Athan returned to his abode while Reikent went to do his own things, which Athan didn't know.

After returning, Athan directly started his training after sitting in meditation.

...

Minutes turned into hours, hours into days, and days into months as Athan continued to train to make his connection to the source dimension deeper.

While Athan was training to make his connection to the source dimension deeper, Tiana, Avelia, and others were also training at a different place.

They weren't together and were each in a small room but the small room was mystical as light blue clouds and sparks filled each room as they were in deep meditation with the most peaceful expression on their faces.

They are currently in the training phase of the Great Bridgade Palace which mass recruited many ascenders. Though, To become the official member of the Great Bridgade Palace, They have to train for twenty years and have to reach goals set by the Great Bridgade Palace during these twenty years.

The first goal for the ascenders was to break through from Peak-Ascenders in two years. Those unable to meet the goal will be kicked.

Tiana, Avelia, and others didn't have any problem as their souls were stronger than normal people because of the transformation brought to them after they filled the third branch of their Genome Tree.

Unlike Athan who met trouble inside the Genome Dimension Realm (GDR), They successfully passed their respective GDR and managed to come back which resulted in them getting a new skill and also a Soul Strethening Art which aided them to make their soul stronger.

With their strong soul which resulted in a stronger soul sense and this environment of the room which was provided to them by Great Bridgade Palace that additional increased the effectiveness of their soul sense, Their speed to make their connection deeper was tremendously fast. They only took two months to become Advanced Ascenders which was...just half a month slower than Athan's speed.

Tiana opened her eyes and stretched her hands upward like she woke up after a good sleep and stood up before leaving this small octagonal shape small room with inscribed patterns on its wall.

After leaving, She appeared in a vast land with greenery like trees and plants. This place also had many ponds and beautiful flowers as the whole atmosphere was heavenly. But along with these things, There were also small octagonal rooms built here and there in the land just like the one from which Tiana came out and also people who were talking to each other and just enjoying the atmosphere to take a break.

One man, who looked like he was twenty-something from his appearance saw Tiana as his eyes lit up, and he hurried towards her while smiling, " Hey Tiana. You are as beautiful as always, hahaha. "

This man had light pink hair and a fair complexion with a very likable face as he looked very handsome with six feet height and a slim body build. Though, He wasn't a human as he had a pitch-black fluffy tail behind his back and a pitch-black single horn on his forehead that was ten feet in length and was curved upward.

Tiana looked at the man and her face turned troubled and also a bit displeased, " Terren, Can you not disturb me this time? I want to take a short break peacefully without any disturbance. "

Terren made puppy eyes as his face turned sad, " You should enjoy more and not just focus on training. With your speed, You only need one year or at most one and a half years to breakthrough. "

Hearing that, Tiana frowned, " Don't tell me what to do and go away. I want to rest. " Saying this, Tiana turned her face away from him.

Terren smiled and stretched his hand to touch Tiana's silky and beautiful hairs mixed of red and black but before he could touch even a single strand of her hairs, He was thrown backward five meters away by an invisible force.

" Ouch...Tiana, Why are you so guarded? " Terren stood up and made a slight painful expression for a second before he smiled wryly. Though, He knew that he can't go near Tiana today anymore seeing her face.

Tiana had a frosty face as she coldly looked at Terren, " You...Don't try to touch me ever again. I am only allowed to touch by...by...urgh..." Tiana frowned at the end but then she shook her head before once again looking at Terren coldly, " Anyway, Go away and don't disturb me. "

After saying this, Tiana turned away once again and sat down near the pond that was in front of her a room.

Terren wryly smiles before he shouted, " Alright. I'll just watch you from afar. But I have no intention to give up. I will definitely break your frozen and confused heart and make it mine! "

" Yo Terren. I see you are still pursuing Tiana. Did you make any progress? "

A man and a woman approached Terren as they came out from one of the small octagonal buildings.

The man was pure human without any additional features while the woman had fluffy blue wings and her skin was also light blue.

Seeing them, Terren smiled and nodded, " Yep. I am still pursuing Tiana and I have no intention to give up...ever. "

The woman slightly frowned at Tiana while speaking in doubt, " Why can't she see your sincerity and honestness that you really love her and want to become her life partner? "

" Ahh...hehe, It's ok. Her heart is bound by the chains of confusion and past but I will break those chains one day and make her mine. " Terren looked lovingly at Tiana before he continued, " My feelings will definitely reach her one day. "

On the other hand, Tiana was lost in her thoughts, ' Who is this shadow without any facial features that appear in my mind occasionally? Whenever I see this shadow, I feel warm and peaceful for a second as if whoever this shadow belongs to is very dear to me...But...whose shadow is it? '
