“Rest assured that I'll do my best to help you out. While it is true that ordinary armorers would need two to three years to craft Dark Level divine weapons, things might be different if I help you out!” Ossa Dei replied.
“Thanks.” That was one of the rare moments Zeke thanked Ossa Dei.
He then turned toward Sole Wolf and said, “Sole Wolf, tell Killer Wolf and the others to stop searching for Lacey and return immediately.”
“Why aren't you searching for Lacey anymore, Zeke? You're not giving up on her, are you?” Sole Wolf asked with a frown.
“Of course not! I would never give up on Lacey! I now know where she is, so Killer Wolf and the others are just wasting their time searching for her on Theos Island. Since they won't be able to find her, we might as well have them return and do something else instead,” Zeke replied.
Sole Wolf was overjoyed. “You know where Lacey is? Tell me where she is, and I'll go find her right away!”
Zeke let out a sigh. “Unfortunately, Lacey is in a different dimension. I need to craft a Dark Level divine weapon in order to cut through this dimension and get to her. As such, our next objective is to craft that divine weapon as soon as possible.”
Sole Wolf, Ares, and Nameless were confused when they heard that.
Although they had no idea what Zeke was talking about, they knew they simply had to do as he said.
If crafting a divine weapon is what it takes, then we'll get it done!
Sole Wolf then contacted Killer Wolf and told them to return immediately.
Naturally, Killer Wolf and the others were hesitant to return at first.
“But we don't have a lead on Lacey's location yet! Why are you asking us to head back so soon?”
“Just do as you're told and get back here. I'll explain in detail when you arrive. It's a little hard to do so over the phone,” Sole Wolf said.
He couldn't possibly explain it to Killer Wolf for he himself didn't understand Zeke's words either.
“Tell Zeke to let us continue searching for Lacey. This place is a paradise for our training. There are wild beasts everywhere, so we've been getting stronger with each passing day. I'm very close to reaching Peak Class. Alfred and Tyler will soon reach Peak Class too. We just need three more days,” Killer Wolf said.
“Hold on. I'll go ask Zeke about this,” Sole Wolf replied and relayed Killer Wolf's message to Zeke.
“All right. You have three days. After that, you must return regardless of whether you succeed in leveling up,” Zeke said after giving it some thought.
“Don't worry, Zeke. If all goes well, I'll be able to level up by tonight!” Killer Wolf reassured him.
“Remember, safety comes first!” Zeke reminded him before hanging up the phone.
If crafting a divine weapon is what it takes, then we'll get it done!
On the other end of the phone, Killer Wolf, Alfred, and Tyler were panting heavily as they lay in a den, all covered in blood.
There were lots of carcasses on the ground next to them, including wild tigers the size of calves, lions the size of camels, and pythons as long and thick as small trees.
As they were in the center of Theos Island, there were wild beasts everywhere. Killer Wolf and the others had spent the past few days killing those beasts, which served as an effective form of training.
In just a few days, Killer Wolf and the others had gotten so much stronger that they were close to reaching Peak Class.
Tyler ripped a bloody leg off a tiger and munched on it raw to replenish his strength.
“Haha! This feels great!”
Alfred, too, grabbed a tiger leg for himself. “You're making the most progress among us, Killer Wolf. How close are you to reaching Peak Class?”
“If all goes well, I should be able to reach it by tonight. I'll be needing you two to protect me,” Killer Wolf replied.
Alfred let out a hearty chuckle. “Haha! No problem!”
“What did Great Marshal say on the phone earlier?” Tyler asked.
“Zeke is giving us three more days to train. We'll have to return after that, regardless of whether we reach Peak Class,” Killer Wolf replied.
