No one could tell what was wrong with Neo's Shadow element.
The only explanation they had was Neo's Shadow element was, somehow, stuck in a half-awakened state.
Something that was impossible.
"I'll find out the answer soon."
He returned to the mansion when it got chilly.
After taking a shower, he turned to the bed for sleep.
Next morning, he had a short breakfast.
"Where are you going?" Morrigan questioned him just as he was hurrying to leave before Henry caught him.
Because Henry wouldn't let him go if he told him where he was going.
"I'm going for training," he answered ambiguously.
"Stay safe," Morrigan said as she leaned against the wall. "The Supreme Deity of Shadows isn't hostile to outsiders.
"But it won't help you as easily as you think."
"….how did you know where I was going?"
"Felix told me a week ago that you will try to enter the World of Shadows soon.
"I just felt like you were going there today."
"Felt?"
Neo almost rolled his eyes.
'Well, I guess it makes sense.'
'She doesn't know I know about her Fate affinity. So she can't say how she knows I'm going to the World of Shadows today.'
"Be back on time. The second semester will start in a few days," Morrigan said.
Neo was thankful to her since she didn't try to stop or impede him.
After leaving the mansion, Neo visited a high-end potion shop.
He bought 50 vials of the highest quality of Diviner Energy replenishment elixir his body could handle.
Since he was a Grade 5 Mythic Demigod, he couldn't drink elixirs which were too strong,
or he would burst like a balloon.
He had to buy elixirs that were suitable for demigods of his rank.
He purchased another fifty bottles of healing elixir.
There were elixirs for temporary boosts for different stat boosts, but Neo did not buy them.
Consuming too many elixirs could harm his future growth.
Besides, the stat boosts weren't anything substantial.
It was good for average demigods, but for someone like Neo, it was too weak.
Using stronger elixirs could solve such problems.
However, a single vial of stronger elixir was a lethal dose for demigods if his rank.
He would burst as soon as he consumed them.
After buying a few more essentials, Neo met with Jack at the station.
"Why are you carrying all that?" Jack questioned with a confused gaze.
"I don't have Shadow Space."
"Right." Jack nodded. "Give them to me."
Jack stored the items inside his Shadow Space.
Neo looked around.
"You came here alone?"
"Yeah, I didn't tell anyone you were going to Shadow Window."
"…?"
"They were planning to stop you. So I sneaked out without telling them you were doing it today."
"Thanks, I guess?"
"I don't need thanks. Give me something else," Jack said. "Let me come with you to the World of Shadows."
"No—"
Before Neo could refuse, Jack took out his device and dialed Arthur's number.
It was an open blackmail.
"Fine. You can come with me."
Neo clicked his tongue.
If Arthur and others knew he was going to the World of Shadows, they would definitely stop him or inform Henry.
"But I won't take a guarantee for your life," Neo added. "I won't rescue you if you die again this time."
"Don't worry about it. I've already taken proper precautions," Jack said mysteriously.
The two entered the station.
They took a bullet train to Pelgona City.
"Why Pelgona?" Neo questioned. "We have to enter a Shadow Window to enter the World of Shadows.
"There is no Shadow Window in Pelgona City."
"300. We won't pay a penny more." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
