Chapter 245: Chapter 245 Return

The south-east corner of the Phirie City,

In Leo’s room,

‘Swoosh’

A portal opened in Leo’s room as Leo and his followers walked out of it.

“Even though the environment in a grade 1 world is good, there is nothing better than coming back.”

Leo took a deep breath, and as he muttered those words.

“Wow…this place looks completely different from my tribe.”

Looking out of the window, Arlo caught a glimpse of the Phirie city and marvelled at the designed buildings in the distance.

Arlo was born after the Starlight world’s people were teleported to the Beastnet, and their technology was not advanced to begin with, as they mostly relied on cultivation.

Therefore, after settling in the Starlight Tribe, they mostly focused on increasing their strength since the Beastnet is a grade 1 world which made the Starlight Tribe underdeveloped.

So, when Arlo saw the unique structures, he was in awe and could not wait to go out to see them from a close distance.

Lionel was lazily lying in Leo’s arms as though he didn’t care much about this human world because he knew he would be spending quite a while in this world. So, he felt there was no need to rush things.

As for Sutin and Skye, they were not as curious as Arlo as they silently stood behind Leo.

‘Swoosh’

“Master, you are finally back.”.

As Leo felt nice to return to his world, a silhouette jumped out of his shadow and was about to hug him.

“Putong”

However, before he could hug Leo, Sutin stepped forward and stopped the shadow vampire with a single hand.

“Who are you? Let me go.”

Vladimir looked at the minotaur with a displeased look; however, in front of a level 7 supreme-ranked minotaur, there was nothing a rank 9 shadow vampire could do.

“Yeah! I am back.”

With a slight smile, Leo replied to Vladimir and asked, “There is no need to hug me as I already know you must have missed me just like always, right?”

“Yes, Master.”

The shadow vampire nodded and looked at the minotaur and others in the room before asking, “By the way, Master, who are they?”

“They are my new followers.”

Leo’s next words shocked Vladimir, “If you want to be useful, you need to increase your strength as soon as possible; otherwise, you will be left behind.”

“What?”

Among the three new followers he brought from the Beastnet, two had level 7 and level 2 supreme-ranked strength, respectively, whereas the third follower’s role was a scout who relies on his scouting talent more than his strength.

Therefore, Leo’s words triggered the shadow vampire as he hurriedly said, “Master, from today, I will work hard and don’t fool around anymore.”

There was a serious look on the vampire’s face, making Leo could not help but smile, ‘Finally, I found a way to focus him on increasing his strength.’

“Bulter Davies, guide them to the available rooms in the manor.”

Soon, Leo asked the butler and asked him to take care of the rooms for his followers.

“Yes, Master.”

“Go and rest. We will get busy very soon.”

Turning his head to his followers, Leo asked them to rest as everyone was a little exhausted after using the portal.

Moreover, they travelled between the worlds. So, they needed some time to adjust to the new environment.

“Yes, Brother Leo.”

“Yes, Sir Leo.”

“Yes, Master.”

Arlo, Skye and Sutin nodded before following Bulter Davis to their rooms.

“Vladimir, take Moonlight to her child.”

Next, he summoned the Purple-horned moonlight unicorn and ordered the shadow vampire to reunite her with her child.

“Yes, Master.”

Vladimir nodded and took the Moonlight Unicorn with him to where the little pony was playing.

‘Master is surrounded by so many supreme-ranked followers. Even though I know the master was joking when he said he would abandon me, I need to work hard and increase my strength to be useful to the master.’

The Shadow Vampire became surprised to see that the Moonlight Unicorn was not only freed from her slave, but she also became a supreme-ranked being, making Vladimir a little cornered about his usefulness in the future.

Therefore, he swore to work hard to increase his strength, and while carrying Lionel in his arms, he guided the Moonlight Unicorn.

‘I think I should cultivate it for some time to feel refreshed.’

Even though he was relieved to return to the home world in one piece, the time difference between the worlds strained him mentally.

And according to him, the best way to get refreshed was not by sleeping; instead, it was by cultivating. So, after sending everyone, Leo thought of cultivating for a while until everyone gets used to this world’s time speed.

‘I didn’t have any problem last time because I lost consciousness as soon as I entered the Beastnet; however, I feel how bad it is to travel between worlds.’

Leo sat on his bed without any further ado and started circulating the [Special Starlight Refining Technique].

Time continued to pass and one hour passed by in a flash.

‘Ding,

The host has absorbed one hundred units of Starlight Energy.

‘Huh? 100 units?’

Leo was shocked when he heard the system’s words in his head and thought, ‘Isn’t it only 10 units?’

‘Ding,

There are 10 times more stars in this world compared to Beastnet.

‘Ding,

Therefore, the host can absorb the starlight energy ten times faster than in the Beastnet.

‘Ding,

Main Cultivation Technique: Special Starlight Refining Technique (Bronze-Grade).

Starlight Dantian: 901 / 1000 units of Starlight Energy.

Note: 1) the host’s body will passively absorb 10 units of Starlight Energy per hour because of the cultivation technique.

2) When actively using the cultivation technique, 100 units of Starlight Energy can be absorbed per hour.

Soon, a series of system notifications appeared in front of Leo, explaining the reasons for the sudden increase in the absorption speed of the starlight energy.

‘What a pleasant surprise!’

Leo could not help but be surprised and felt, ‘If it is 10 times faster, I can increase my starlight cultivation much faster than I expected.’

Without further ado, Leo resumed circulating his starlight refining technique to increase his cultivation.

After one hour, he received another 100 units of Starlight Energy and filled his Starlight Dantian.

‘Ding,

Congratulations to the host for becoming a rank 2 starlight warrior.

After using 1000 units of starlight energy, he upgraded his cultivation, increasing his Starlight Dantian’s capacity to 2000 units.

‘Let’s continue.’

Without any explanation, Leo knew he needed 2000 units of Starlight Energy to increase his cultivation again.

Time continued to pass, and in a flash, nearly one day had passed since Leo returned to the human world.

For the last day, Leo was completely focused on Starlight Cultivation. In the beginning, he started only to feel refreshed; however, he set a small goal of reaching rank 3 before stopping his cultivation.

‘Ding,

One hundred units of starlight energy have entered the host’s body.

‘Ding,

The host’s Starlight Dantian is completely full.

‘Ding,

The host has met the requirements to become a rank 3 starlight cultivator. Do you want to spend 2000 units of Starlight Energy to break through?

Soon, a series of system notifications appeared in his head, waking him up from his cultivation.
