Another of the peak masters said, "However, I must add that we've now incurred the Gahrrs' unabated wrath because of you."
Severin looked solemnly at the nine peak masters. "I will never forget the kindness that you've shown me today."
Oskar gradually descended from the air and said calmly to him, "Since you're all right, I suppose you'll be able to return to Pearl Light Isle on your own then. I'll handle everything else here."
With less than half a month remaining before the Starry Sky Battlespace, Oskar hoped that Severin could use that period to refine his attainment. Winning in the Starry Sky Battlespace might be too high an expectation, it was of paramount important that Severin must have a safe return. After all, Severin was a preparatory disciple of the Grandiuno Sacred Land—he held the potential to make history in Midland within a few years, especially once he managed a breakthrough to level five paragon.
"Thank you, Sect Leader," Severin responded earnestly. His smile faded into solemnity as he clasped his hands respectfully and offered his sincere appreciation.
Oskar waved his hand and remarked, "Don't mention it. You're a disciple of my sect. It is my duty to protect you."
As a sect leader, he held a responsibility to protect his disciples, and that desire was fueled further when he saw the Gahrrs' arrogance despite their relatively modest strength. As the head of Grandiuno Sect and a prominent figure in Southsky, he had to maintain connections with the Grandiuno Sacred Land in Midland. The Gahrrs' audacity as a second-rate force in Southsky was laughable, to say the least.
Severin nodded appreciatively and leapt into the air to head back to Pearl Light Isle. The peak masters and elders soon returning to their respective residences as well.
