Ch 57 – I’m Home
Alex sighed and everyone moved to the Queen's palace.
Even the Witch Queen was left dumbfounded, watching the cat jumping around on Vanessa and Alex's shoulders.
She turned to Alex for an answer who raised his hand and shrugged his shoulders, indicating he had no fucking idea of how something like that could happen.
The Witch Queen healed everyone who was injured with her Blood Magic and even handed over the magic stone in her possession to Alex and Vanessa.
She even gave Mars her Blood Puppetering magic so he could use it to control the Emperor of his kingdom.
Outside the Witch Forest, everyone was gathered together. Mars and Ladros faced Alex and others.
Fanzell asked worriedly. "Are you really going back to the Diamond Kingdom?"
"Yeah!" Mars replied solemnly. He showed a small bottle in his hand.
"The Queen of Witches gives me her Blood Puppetering Magic. I will present it to the King as a potion to increase his longevity... and the control the king."
Mars tightened his grip on the bottle, his expression turning serious. "In that way, I'll control the king and change the Diamond Kingdom for the better...!!"
Ladros smiled weirdly, grinning. "I've decided to help Mars in his quest."
Fanzell sighed and a smile traced his face.
"We'll take Fana with us. Mars, Ladros, Take care of yourselves!"
Mars then turned to Fana and said slowly. "Fana... I'm sorry. Please, wait until I change the Diamond Kingdom. I'll make it a place where you can come back to..."
Fana blushed, her face flushed red. She threw herself in his arms, hugging him. She smiled and replied.
"I'll wait as long as it takes... When the Diamond Kingdom will become peaceful... Let's go see the World Together."
Everyone present couldn't help but feel the love in the air around them.
Mars turned to Alex and smiled. "And Asta... thank you. If you need my help in the future, don't hesitate to call me."
Alex chuckled and patted his shoulder. "I appreciate your words but you should focus on your mission... And don't let down your girl this time, okay?"
Mars was a little taken aback by his words and nodded his head with a serious expression.
Alex smiled and whispered something in his ear.
"Also, be wary of the Spade... They will come very soon..."
Mars's expression hardened when he heard that. He stared at Alex and nodded his head, walking away with Ladros.
Fanzell also said his goodbye to Alex and Vanessa before he left for his home with three beautiful women.
Vanessa stared at the Witch Forest, her expression slightly complicated. She remembered Witch Queen's last words to her.
'You are free from now on... But this place is your home so do come and pay a visit whenever you want...'
She bit her lower lip, wanting to cry. Finally, the shackles of the past had fallen off and she was free from her cage.
Alex watched her back as she stared at Forest and he sighed, staring at the sky.
'Why do people make such silly mistakes?... There is nothing more important than a family. No money, power, or anything can fill that gap...'
He sighed again and walked over, hugging her from behind.
"Do you like your gift?!"
Vanessa turned around and kissed his lips, giving her gratitude. She giggled sweetly, her smile brighter than ever.
"Thank you!... Thank you for everything. Nobody has ever done so much for me..."
Alex hugged her and rubbed her back. "Good. Then shall we go back home?"
Vanessa raised her head and caressed his cheek, nodding her head.
Darkness spread out from under the feet of Alex and both of them slowly submerged into it, sinking into the ground.
When they finally emerged, they found themselves standing in front of the hideout of the Black Bulls.
"What type of skill is this? We traveled thousands of miles in an instant..." Vanessa marveled at Alex's abilities and asked curiously.
Alex chuckled and patted her head, speaking mysteriously.
"Don't you hear the saying? Curiosity kills the cat!... Hehe, let's go inside..."
He then opened the door and walked inside, leaving Vanessa standing in front, pouting cutely. She quickly followed him and saw that the base was mostly empty and Yami was reading a newspaper, sitting leisurely.
Yami raised his head from the newspaper and asked. "Are you finished with your business?"
"Yep." Alex grinned and tossed the magic stone he got this time to Yami. "Look, we even secured another star with this trip."
"Haha... not bad kid." Yami laughed heartily and nodded his head, very satisfied with Alex's performance.
He then glanced at Vanessa and said. "Hey, welcome back."
A smile blossomed on Vanessa's face and she felt a warmth spreading over her body. She replied cheerfully.
"I'm home!"
The cat on her shoulder also showed a happy expression, in sync with its master.
Soon, the others began to gather too, returning from their missions.
Everyone was very cheerful and optimistic, working hard since Alex had joined the Black Bulls.
The first ones to return were Magna and Luck who had gone to explore a dungeon in the outside world. Not only did they conquer the dungeon but they even received a great boost in their strength.
Both of their clothes were in tatters from the difficult fight they had to go through but it was worthwhile since their mana output had increased by a huge amount. They were surrounded by their particular element, giving an oppressive aura.
But it was only for a moment before they reversed back to their usual cheerful and funny personalities.
The second group was Finral and Noelle who were out on an official mission at the border town. They had to collect a special and unique treasure and deliver it safely to the capital.
Even though it was pretty easy with Finral's ability, but they couldn't have made a mistake or else it would have been disastrous.
The third group was Gauche and Gordon were out to deal with some intruders who had wormed their way into the kingdom.
With Gauche's mirror magic and offensive powers, he easily wiped the floor with that group.
The last group was Charmy and Grey who were out on an expedition. Both of them had been infected by Magical Mushroom Parasites.
Charmy was covered so much that it was almost impossible to make out her features but it's a shame that the parasite chose her since she ate them all up with no sweat.
