Elion inhaled and exhaled sharply, ignoring the pain that was slowly ebbing away as his body quickly recovered from the shaking breakthrough.
"That was not so bad," he said with a smile as he flexed his trembling fingers. At this rate, he could attempt to merge with the World Eyes without much worry.
'I hope it is not as painful as I suspect.'
He grimaced slightly at the thought.
He was about to call out his system panel when he sensed someone's presence standing near the entrance leading into the hall.
Elion looked back.
There, standing by the entrance, was Zenith. She was looking at him affectionately, a vibrant smile on her face.
"Oh, hey, Zenith," Elion said with a smile as he got to his feet. "You were watching over me?" Her body flickered: A moment later, she reappeared right in front of him.
"Of course," Zenith said.
She swung her arms around his neck. Her gaze moved over his face, then down his body, before returning to his eyes.
