Another World Awakening Transcendental Create Skill

“Chapter 268: The Origin of the Six Sages”

Three months have passed since I saw Shiori jump off the Thundercloud Boat.

We haven’t heard anything from her. Nor from Ernika.

Ralph and Selphia reassured me that they were both dead for good, but deep down I’m still anxious.

Who knows if Shiori will open the doors of Searat one day and walk in as if nothing happened to her?

Minagami Shiori has become a before and after in my life.

(Mike’s POV)
Everyone was back to their usual routine.

Though some things had changed.

– Hello?

– Mike-chan! Welcome back!

The receptionist Mitta was the first one to greet me.

– You’ve grown so much!

– Thank you. Consequences of living with my father.

After the battle, I stayed in Snowpeak with my dad to take care of his injuries. He was seriously wounded during our battle with Ernika. Living there, and having to fight with other beasts for our territory, left a positive impact on my physical and mental development.

The demon king had disguised himself as Ernika’s disciple and helped us when things were going south.

I still don’t know how I feel about the demon king and his relationship with the master, but I’m thankful that he saved our lives.

– By the way…

– Takaya? He just got back from a request at the sea. He’s in his workshop with some guests.

– Thank you.

I walked down the stairs to the basement.

The door was slightly open. I could see the master inside with a serious expression.

Everyone was quietly listening to him.

In the room were Akane, Mumuruu, Milligan and Rifaiv.

What are they doing?

I’d love to jump in and give the master a big hug…

But I’ve grown up. I can read the room. This isn’t the moment for that.

– Master.

– Mike? Welcome back!

– Thank you. What’s going on here?

– We can finally bring her back.

A big shield with a pale green glow was on the desk.

– Is this Ever?

– Spot on. We’ll revive her right now.

Embedded in the center of the shield was a green gemstone, which lit up in response to Takaya’s voice.

– It’s working… (Takaya)

– Of course it is. We went all the way to ask that stupid blonde of the sea. (Rifaiv)

I’ve heard that the sages are quite eccentric. The Sage of the Sea probably lives under the ocean. It wouldn’t surprise me.

– I would’ve liked to sleep a little longer. (Ever)

The shield enveloped itself in a green light, which gradually gave form to the human we all know.

– Welcome back, Grandmaster.

– Thank you, disciple.

– Now, could you put your clothes on?

Thankfully, the master had been blindfolded in advance by Akane and Mumuruu.

– What’s with the faces? Can none of you take a joke?

– Is that the first thing you say after being revived? Do you want me to send you back to the other realm? (Rifaiv)

– L-Let’s. Calm down. Please. (Milligan)

Come to think of it, the Six Sages have been reduced to four.

– Grandmaster, I have something to ask.

– I know. It’s about the Creator, right?

– Yes.

– Milligan, Rifaiv, are you okay with me telling him?

Both of the sages nodded.

– The story starts a few… No, a long time ago. Our Creator came from a faraway land that we don’t know.
