Final Island, the dock.
Schmidt and Nicil bid farewell to Kieran and Ohara with the identity of sending them off.
However, the atmosphere between the four of them had a strange sense of awkwardness.
Kieran and Schmidt were chatting on the side.
Ohara, on the other hand, was looking at Kieran with all her attention, even her mouth corner was curling up into a smile.
Even without asking, Nicil was sure that Kieran was the only one in Ohara's line of sight.
As for Schmidt?
He was completely ignored.
Of course, that included Kieran as well.
In fact, from the moment they teleported from Sanctuary Island to the dock, Ohara, one of the three Archdeacons of the Sanctuary, hadn't spoken a single word to Kieran.
Even if it was just a small talk.
Ohara placed all her attention on Kieran.
If Nicil wasn't sure at the start, he was absolutely sure now.
So, he had a weird look on his face.
Nicil had reached the level of a common old man, he had gone through a lot more than a normal person could imagine. Therefore, he was able to tell what kind of state Ohara was in at the moment.
"Madly in love?
No, that's not right!
Just because 2567 was thought to be Hugh's reincarnation, that's why he came back from the dead?
That's not right either, this description … "
Nicil didn't realize that his mind was in a mess. In order to wake himself up quickly, he had to divert his attention.
"But, with Ohara's help, the matter with the West Coast government should be solved smoothly!
Even if something unexpected happened, 2567 is still on our side! I'm afraid the West Coast government is having a headache dealing with the reincarnated Hugh right?
It was such a pity back then, everyone had high hopes for Hugh and Ohara … "
"Ugh! Why did it come back?"
Nicil slapped his forehead when he regained his thoughts, he decided not to think about it anymore.
Meanwhile, Schmidt and Kieran were still talking.
"Are you really not the reincarnation of that Holy Knight?"
Schmidt asked.
"I'm really not!"
Looking at his good friend's serious expression, Kieran could not help but let out a bitter laugh.
It had only been a few hours since they parted, and Schmidt, who knew Kieran very well, was already suspicious of him. Kieran could already imagine how the others would react.
Damn Phandle!
Kieran cursed in his heart.
"Alright!"
"Although I haven't experienced this, you have to remember that Ellie Jones is …"
Schmidt stared at Kieran for a few seconds before he sighed and reminded Kieran as a friend.
However, as soon as he opened his mouth, Schmidt shrugged.
"Forget it, you decide for yourself. I'm powerless!"
"Bon voyage!"
After that, he waved goodbye to Kieran.
"En!"
Kieran nodded and greeted Nicil before heading towards the ship that was docked at the dock.
The captain was someone he knew: Azinder.
The overseer who sent him to Final Island in the first place.
A wooden board that acted as a flight of stairs was built on the side of the ship.
Kieran and Ohara walked up side by side.
"Sir Holy Knight, Sir Archdeacon!"
Azinder who had the title of a Reserve Knight saluted respectfully in a Knight manner.
When Kieran heard the salutation, his steps unconsciously paused for a moment. Even though he quickly returned to normal, Azinder still noticed it.
Azinder looked at Kieran who was standing on the deck with a puzzled expression.
"Hugh's memory hasn't fully recovered yet, he is still in a state of confusion."
Ohara beside Kieran explained in an understanding manner.
Right away, Azinder showed a look of sudden realization.
It made Kieran's mouth twitch.
"Hey hey, what's with the tone of an elder sister apologizing to a naughty younger brother?
And you, as a Reserve Knight, how can you accept me as the reincarnation of the Holy Knight without even a bit of doubt? "
Huu, Huu!
Kieran tried his best to take a few deep breaths, suppressing the sudden surge of emotions in his heart.
Then, Kieran waved goodbye to Schmidt and Nicil on the deck.
Wuuu!
The steam whistle sounded. The ship that was docked at the dock swiftly left Final Island with Azinder at the helm.
Kieran saw the figures on the dock getting smaller and smaller until they completely disappeared. Only then did he turn his attention to a certain direction on Final Island.
That direction was the core area of the snowstorm at night on Final Island.
Even after Kieran leveled up the [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art] to Musou level, he still couldn't step into the core area.
In fact, after leveling up the [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art], Kieran didn't think he could directly step into the core area.
Though, it was still possible for him to go further.
That was what Kieran had in his mind back then.
But the truth was …
He still couldn't take another step forward.
Even though the [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art] had reached Musou Strike, if he were to take another step forward, [Saint Thorns 2] would collapse.
As for [Secondary Elemental Damage Resistance]?
It was already useless.
Aside from that, the training of [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art] had reached a bottleneck.
At the spot where he was, the surging sensation of [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art] had vanished a long time ago.
If he were to take another step forward, the surging sensation would appear faintly.
However, his body couldn't withstand the power of the snowstorm.
Ten breaths and he would lose his life.
Obviously, ten breaths was not enough to complete one round of [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art] training.
Because of that, Kieran temporarily gave up on the training on Final Island.
At least before he increased his Constitution and HP or leveled up [Saint Thorns 2], he wouldn't think about it anymore.
Though, it didn't affect Kieran's determination to level up [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art] in Final Island.
The [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art] required 300,000 Points and 30 Golden Skill Points to level up from Musou to Transcendence. It was hard for Kieran to imagine how many times he would have to accumulate the points with the dungeon rewards alone.
Points were easy.
Golden Skill Points, on the other hand, were filled with difficulties.
Even though he had a high rating of double V rank every time.
He would need 5 dungeon runs to accumulate the required points for [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art].
And in these 5 dungeon runs, because of the Golden Skill Points, his leveling up would be greatly restricted.
If it was more serious, the advantages that he had accumulated in the early stages might even be exhausted.
So, when the shortcut of Final Island was placed in front of him, it was hard for Kieran not to be tempted.
Naturally, with Kieran's character, he would surely come up with a proper plan.
Though, it didn't stop Kieran from being curious about Final Island.
"What the hell is that place?"
Kieran held the railing and gazed afar, guessing in his heart once again.
The sound of footsteps rang out in his ears.
Although Ohara tried her best to slow down her steps and try not to make any noise, under Kieran's A + Intuition, it was impossible for her to hide.
Though, Kieran didn't care about Ohara.
Coldness.
It was the only way that Kieran could think of to deal with Ohara at the moment.
Ohara stopped beside Kieran and followed Kieran's gaze towards Final Island.
Her eyes were overflowing with memories.
Her words were filled with joy.
"Never thought that I could look at Final Island with you like this …"
"Your persistence towards that place hasn't changed!"
Kieran wasn't moved.
The fact that Holy Knight Hugh was training on Final Island wasn't a secret to him anymore. Since he was training on the island, it was natural that he would notice the anomaly on the island.
There were too many people who were persistent because of their curiosity.
It didn't matter if Kieran was the Holy Knight.
However, soon enough, Kieran received an unexpected message.
"You always thought that the island holds the secret to breaking through the shackles of life and death!"
The secret to breaking through the shackles of life and death?
Instantly, Kieran's interest was piqued. He turned around to Ohara, hoping that she would say more.
But Ohara blushed a little, she raised her hand and clenched her fist at Kieran, cheering him on.
"Although no one acknowledged it, I believe that you are right!
You didn't manage to discover the secret in your past life, but this time, you can do it and I will help you … "
Looking at Ohara who didn't seem to have the slightest intention to return to the secret of the shackles of life and death, Kieran took in a deep breath and suppressed the emotions that came from his heart.
"Let's discuss about the West Coast government!"
Kieran interrupted Ohara with a cold tone and walked towards the cabin.
"O-Okay!"
Ohara wasn't angry at all after being interrupted. She looked at Kieran's back and clenched her fist again, cheering herself on loudly in her heart.
Keep it up, Ohara!
