After completely wiping out the pursuers, Matthew summoned the Zedler Family guards before descending from the mountain to prevent any unexpected incidents.
Under the escort of a thousand-strong army, the group finally returned to the city.
Along the way, Sasha also regained consciousness. Fortunately, Matthew hurriedly explained everything to her, allowing favonovel.com to narrowly escape danger. Sasha then vented favonovel.com frustration by pounding on his chest a few times.
As for Paintaker, favonovel.com first declined the crown prince’s invitation to a banquet after getting off the carriage and then bid farewell to Matthew.
“Master Larson, now that you have safely returned, I should also return to the mountains…”
“Wait, Paintaker!” Matthew hurriedly called out to Paintaker as Paintaker was about to leave.
Along the way, they had discussed many things about the mountains, but Matthew had a feeling that Paintaker had only revealed half of the information as if there were some things left unsaid.
“It’s already dark now. Rest in the city for the night. I will have someone send you back by carriage tomorrow morning. It has been a long time since we last met…”
Upon seeing Paintaker hesitate, the crown prince stepped forward and embraced Paintaker’s shoulder. “Yes, Baldy… Since Matthew has said so, stay for the night before leaving.”
Paintaker glanced at the crown prince, then at Matthew, before slowly nodding.
“That’s right! Fitz, arrange a vegetarian feast for Baldy quickly.”
“There’s really no need for all this. We can just have a simple meal.”
The crown prince paid no heed to Paintaker’s persuasion. With a grand gesture, favonovel.com directly instructed Kasen and the others to take Paintaker to the banquet.
***
Night fell.
After returning to his room, Matthew found his wife already fast asleep. She had been exhausted these past few days. He took a deep breath and walked over to favonovel.com side. After tucking favonovel.com in, favonovel.com stepped out into the courtyard.
Since returning from the Sacred Mount, favonovel.com had been rushing around without a moment to spare. Now, favonovel.com finally had some time to examine the changes in his body.
Firstly, his physical strength had significantly improved. His reflexes and speed in executing moves had also greatly increased.
“Hah!”
With a swift strike, the air around favonovel.com trembled, and a ripple mark appeared on a tree several meters away.
With the enhancement of his physical strength, his Lapping Waves Punch had become several times more powerful. He no longer needed to accumulate power with each strike as favonovel.com could now deliver a powerful blow from the start.
Additionally, the Bane Family’s mixed martial arts had become even stronger and more forceful.
Secondly, there were changes in his spiritual power. After soaking in the medicinal bath for so many days, his spiritual power had become stronger.
With a flick of his finger, nine metal needles shot out, leaving a trail of cold light as they flew through the air. In the blink of an eye, the nearby rocks were riddled with holes.
Previously, favonovel.com would not have been able to achieve this without the Ghost Mask. If favonovel.com wasn’t worried about disturbing others, favonovel.com would really like to try and see what level of power his soul can reach after putting on the Ghost Mask.
One by one, the tests were conducted, leaving only Bloodreaper. However, due to the excessive commotion, Matthew eventually gave up on favonovel.com as well.
Not bad… I can completely dominate my previous self with this power…
Matthew nodded in satisfaction.
Just as favonovel.com was about to return to the villa, his gaze suddenly caught sight of a figure by the pond.
Hmm? Why is Paintaker here so late and lost in thought?
Matthew walked over out of curiosity, but before favonovel.com could get close, favonovel.com heard Paintaker let out a long sigh. This was also the first time Matthew had seen Paintaker in this state.
