The celebrations ceased only after the moon was at its highest in the sky.
Early the next morning, Severin emerged from his room feeling incredibly refreshed. As usual, he headed to the courtyard for some boxing exercises as a warm-up. After completing his routine, the sect token on his body started to vibrate. He channeled his divine senses into the token and discovered that it was a message from Daniella. She asked him if he could go to the Alchemy Chamber to instruct several of the alchemist there.
Severin was left dumbstruck by that request, as he had just only realized that he had neglected his duty as the elder of the Alchemy Chamber! It was a position that Oskar had appointed him to! Knowing that it was important for any practitioner to balance work and rest, Severin decided to himself. "I should take some time off training and relax a little. A short break would do me good after my breakthrough. Plus, there are only about twenty days left before I head to the Starry Sky Battlespace."
Severin returned to his room and changed into a fresh set of clothes. He then went to where his wives were and invited them, "Would you ladies like to come with me to the Alchemy Chamber?"
They had been focused on improving their attainment in seclusion following the growing gap between their strength and Severin's. There was not much reason for them to leave the island, as they had abundant resources and were more interested in catching up to him.
"No thanks," Diane said. "I still have to train later. I have a feeling I'm going to make a breakthrough in a couple of days."
