每个人都有第一次

And he added then looking at Connor : “But as soon as the threat of the Titans and these ancient Gods is gone, we’ll put it back in this room and, if Connor agrees, we’ll mix it again with the rock so that no one will be able to use it.”

Connor nodded and he reminded them: “Remember your promise, no weapons of mass destruction.”

Elias patted him on the shoulder and he said to him: “We will keep our promise, with Miguel we will look for the best way to use this ore to protect our men and those who will join us, that’s all.”

Miguel then told them: “Let’s go, we still need to find that secret chamber.”

Once on the surface, Kelan followed the veins and the area that Connor had circled on the map, and he led them to where that secret chamber should be.

And Connor once there, knelt again on the ground and he put his hands on it. This time he finally felt that energy that had these strange vibrations and just when he was about to tell everyone he’d found it, he found himself teleported back to that room just like the last time.

Derek, who was closest to Connor, grabbed him at the last second when he saw him start to disappear and so they both landed in that secret room, and Connor after a few seconds finally told him because Derek was still holding him tight : “Derek, you can let go of me now, we’re in the secret chamber, look !”

Derek then realized that he was still holding Connor tightly and he told him as he released him from his grip : “Sorry, my love, but now that I’ve found you back, I’ll never let you disappear again.”

Connor then snuggled into his arms to reassure him and he said to him: “I missed you so much Derek.”

Miguel and the others arrived not long after, and Miguel looked around the room and said to the others : “Except for the veins of Acrium in the walls, this room is identical to the room where the Cradle of Magic took me in, and this diamond is really identical to its heart.”

Elias breathed a sigh of relief and he said to Connor: “Well done Connor, well done!”

He then added for everyone : “Even though this room is already nearly undetectable, once Connor has extracted all the Acrium mixed with this crystal, Miguel and I will fortify its defenses.

No one but Miguel or myself will be able to penetrate it, this energy source is far too important to take any chances.”

Everyone obviously agreed with him and Connor then asked them curiously: “Where is the core of this world, Mykael told me that he was the one who saved me back then.”

Caleb laughed then and he said to him: “Well, independent worlds like this one, which have no master, usually avoid Gods like Elias like the plague… No offense of course, General.”

Elias frowned, not at Caleb’s remark of course, because it was the truth after all, but he explained to Connor: “After what Lilith and Cassandra have done to this world, I doubt this core will ever come under the protection of a God, but unlike other independent worlds, this one has done very well on its own.

The different races lived in harmony here before the arrival of these Goddesses, and after we finish freeing the humans from the hold that Cassandra and her men have on their territory, this peace will be restored. This core doesn’t need the protection of a God, your world is a good place to live in.”

Connor still had trouble realizing that he was back, so when he thought that the demons had just been freed and that they had finally found their rightful King, it all seemed even more unreal.

Caleb suddenly asked Elias: “If you don’t need Kelan here anymore, I’d like to go train him in the dungeons.”

Elias nodded and he said to Kelan before he stepped through the teleportation portal that Caleb had opened : “You were very effective today, so train hard… If you want to come fight with us, you’re going to have to progress quickly.”

Kelan bowed his head and he said to him just before he disappeared: “I will !”

Miguel smirked as the portal closed and he said to Elias: “So instead of freeing Caleb from his duties you want to mark Kelan.”

Elias then said to him : “The analytical mind of Kelan is really amazing, I am sure that he will be a very good asset to us, and yes, it is out of question that we separate ourselves from Caleb.”

He then added : “Moreover, his twin brothers will both be immortals, Nolan has the ability to absorb violent emotions and transform them into energies, he will quickly reach the level that will allow him to become an immortal, as for Alan, he shares the bond of Dual cultivation with a Warrior Spirit, so it’s only a matter of time before these two also reach that level.

This siblings are really amazing don’t you think so ?”

Miguel laughed and he said to him: “I think Connor’s ability is even more amazing… This world has been under the protection of the Cradle of Magic, which is why it has always stood on its own without help, and which is why there are so many truly unique people here.”

Derek then asked them: “Is there any way to replicate the energy of this heart… The dungeons have always been a part of our lives and it’s also where 80% of our economy comes from, we never imagined that one day we would have to live without them.”

Miguel and Elias looked at each other at the same time and Miguel asked them then: “When you say they’ve always been a part of your life… Does that mean that there were already dungeons before the first war, when humans and demons lived in peace ?”
