In front of the Tower of Origin:
Maximus halted, gazing one final time at the City of Arcana.
"Are you reluctant?" Skye asked softly.
"Yeah..." Maximus sighed.
He had been living in this world for almost a century.
How could he not be reluctant to part with it?
Although he thought of a way to come back.
What if it didn't work?
What if he stayed in the Abyss realm for thousands of years?
For him, who was less than a century old, a thousand years is a pretty long time.
It's okay if his time was the only one passing by.
However, his family, friends, subordinates... all of them will experience this passing of time.
If he could not come back, many events, celebrations, and partings would pass by without him to witness it.
All these things made his mind a chaotic mess.
"My Soul Will really need more training..." Maximus thought of a reason.
