Gacha Sovereign

The plan is such. Alicia will be sealed in Box of Time, Six months from now. With the cure, She has Six months before separated with Alex. Firia agreed to accept Alex's Fire and when she ascends later, She will bring Alicia, after that, Maxwell will bring them together and train them. After Alicia sealed, Firia told Alex to ascend as soon as possible, she didn't want him to wait for her. Though Alex seems a bit reluctant After Maxwell said that if Alex can get stronger as soon as possible. Then, he can meet them again sooner. So Alex accepted albeit reluctantly. So Alex planned to resolve all of the problems in this world so he can be relieved if he going to leave Firia and Alicia behind.

"Sherry, You will be the one who protects him. Especially from homewrecker" Alicia said, Firia also agreed with her.

"Wuu" Sherry nodded.

Alex looked at them weirdly.

"Cough… Alright. Since we have finished." Maxwell waved his hand and an item flew to Firia hand "Firia, take this with you. After you ascend, break this. I will have the induction. I will then bring you together with me"

Firia nodded and accepted the item. The item was a stone with a weird looking pattern. But Alex knows, it was an array.

"Alright. It's time!"

"For what, Master?"

"Did you forget? To transfer your fire to her of course"

"Oh right" Alex nodded, "Then, how can I do that?"

"It's simple. You remembered when you condense the Fire Phoenix Seed?"

Alex nodded.

"You let your fire inside of her and guide them to the same spot and keep them a while in that spot. I will make the array to complete the process. After the array does its job. Firia will get her new sacrificial element. After that, the sacrificial fire seed will start reproducing your fire. And that fire will start engulfing all of her previous element. But… that process will be a bit…agonizing and she will also need to restart her status. Though with cultivation, she will get stronger from her current strength in no time. Are you ready Firia?"

Firia nodded.

"Alright, I will make the array. Alex, give me the space ring"

Alex nodded and give it to him.

Maxwell took out a few materials from the space ring. "Though I don't have all the materials in this world, there are some materials that we can use to replace them. But, because of that. The process will be slower than usual. So Firia need to bear a bit more"

"Master!" Alex looked at her worriedly. Firia smiled at him, "Don't worry. I will endure it"

"But…" Alex still unconvinced.

"Alex, Please believe in me" Firia said.

"I…"

"Alex, you didn't believe in us?" Alicia came in.

"No, how can I?"

"Then, there is no problem" Alicia said, Firia also nodded in agreement.

"Alright, Alex lets proceed" Maxwell finished making the array.

"I…Fine"

"Go inside the array"

Alex and Firia went inside the array. They looked at each other.

"Are you sure?"

"What are you saying? Didn't you the one who want me to accept? What, do you want me to refuse at this point?" Firia giggled.

Alex closed his eyes. It seems that he had been rude. He steeled his heart.

"Place your hand on her head and let your fire go inside of her"

Alex followed his words. He placed his hand on Firia's head. The Fire inside of his body started flowing to her. The moment his fire entered her body. The array immediately glowing. Alex concentrates all the fire to the spot right beside her heart for a few minutes. After that, Firia suddenly let out a sound.

"Ah!" Firia screamed in pain. The first process where he planted his sacrificial fire seed inside her was a success. The array helps him to make a Sacrificial seed inside of her. After the seed was formed, He felt his life force was transferred inside that seed. He also felt something wrong. If he needs to do this again, he felt that he can't. This must be the reason why his master said that he can only transfer this sacrificial fire to one person.

He looked at Firia who was in pain. He was very worried. But he can only believe in her at this point. The array was glowing continuously. After an hour, The array slowly dimmed down. Firia too, the pain slowly diminished. She felt warm slowly spread on her body. She slowly opened her eyes.

"The process is complete"

"Firia, are you alright?"

"I am fine. I felt very good. But, I think my strength restarted from Rank 0."

"Both of you, Why don't you try to use your fire at the same time?"

Firia and Alex was confused but still followed his words. As soon as they let out their flame together. The flame seems entangled with each other in harmony. Alex and Firia felt very close at this very moment. They seem to understand why Maxwell tells them to use their fire simultaneously.

Maxwell also whispered something to Alicia and that makes her blushed, her face becomes very red.

"Alright. Since we have finished. I think its time for me to go." Maxwell said.

"Thank you very much, Master" Alex thanked him, Alicia and Firia also bowed together as they expressed their thanks.

"Oh, right. I almost forget. Is there any history about the Dark Master?"

"Dark Master?" Alex didn't know this name. He looked at Alicia and Firia. But they seem to not know about this so-called 'Dark Master' too since they shook their head.

"Hmm… Well, it's not hurt to tell you about it. He is the one who poisoned my wife. Though I didn't manage to confirm his death, I still heavily injured him back then to the point we can be assured he is dead. But He might also like me, leaving an inheritance like this."

"Inheritance?"

"Yes. He is an evil person. He sacrificed many innocent life to boost his power. He reached rank 9 with almost the same age as me back then."

"Ugh…Master. I felt because you tell us about him, his successor would also appear later" Alex said with a weird face.

"Ahaha…" Maxwell laughed awkwardly. He suddenly remembered when he was in the upper world. Someone tell him something like that and it's true, that thing really happened.

He gave an emblem to Alex. "Well, Alex. This is the proof you are my disciple. This emblem contained one of my skills. The world will block since it already recognizes my soul. So you can only use this once. If you are in an impossible fight, you can use this once to kill them all. This emblem also has another use. You can bring this emblem to an old man known as Drunken Fire. He will help you solve your problem. This is the least I can do for you."

"Alicia, I don't really have anything to you. But here, This was my wife's favorite necklace. You can consider this as a dowry too"

"This…" Alicia hesitated, but eventually, she accepted since it was rude to not accept it "Thank you very much"

"How about you ask him to put it on you?"

Alicia smiled and nodded. She went to Alex and asked him to put it on her neck.

Maxwell then turned to Firia. "Sorry, I don't have anything more for you"

"No no, This fire alone was enough for me"

"Well, I can't make you go with nothing. So I will tell you this." Maxwell whispered something to her, "My wife said that she will train you for a few years before she sends you back to the upper world to get experiences. That means within 5 to 10 years she will send you to his world. That's why, the stronger you are, the more you can help him when she sends you again"

"Is that true?"

Maxwell nodded. "But you need to keep this a secret for him first alright. I will be the one to inform him"

Firia nodded. In her heart, she swears that she will get as strong as she can. So when the time has come, She will have the strength to help him. Maxwell nodded when looking at the determination in her eyes. Alex got good women by his side, though they need to separate for a while.

"This is the cultivation manual that I used. With this, you can meet the requirement to ascend in two or three years. As for how to ascend, you can ask Alex about it"

"Thank you very much" After receiving the manual from Maxwell, She thanked him.

"How about you join them?"

Firia nodded and went toward them.

Now, the last is Sherry.

"Wuu Wuu, Wuu Wuu Wuu (I don't need anything. As long as I am with Master. It's enough)"

"Are you sure? I just about to give you a manual on how to utilize your contract with him. It can help you and him"

"Wuu" Sherry's eyes suddenly become a star.

"Haha, go inside this array. This is an illusion array, you will learn the manual in here. Though it wasn't much, but learning it will be pretty difficult"

"Wuu" Sherry immediately went inside the array.

After a few minutes, Alex and the rest finished their business. "Master, what Sherry doing inside there?"

"I taught her how to utilize the contract. How much she can learn was up to her. She will wake up soon"

True enough, After a few more minutes, Sherry finally wake up.

Maxwell then said, "Alright. Time for me to go. Its really sad I didn't see your wedding"

"Actually, our wedding still hasn't been held. It will be held two months from now"

"Oh, but, I still can't see your wedding" Maxwell said, "Anyway, I give you my blessing. Have fun. Oh right, I almost forget about this. When you reached the Martial Master Stage, each big stage, you will need to withstand the lightning tribulation, Well, it could be said that the lightning tribulation will strengthen your body if you succeed"

Alex nodded, He already knows about it from his Cultivation Manual. So he only nodded. Firia looked at Alex who was completely calm, relieved.

"Alright. I will send you off before I disappeared"

"See you later, Master" Alex said, the girls also thanked him once again.

Maxwell nodded, he waved his hand and an array appeared on their feet and teleported them outside. Looking at the empty room, He suddenly recalled. "I seem to forget something? What is it… Well, since I forget about it, it might not be pretty important"

…

After Alex and the rest got outside, He grabbed Alicia and Firia again and flew toward the capital city with Sherry in the front. But this time, there is no flying monster get on their way. But, weirdly, Alex asked Sherry to kill a few rank 7 monsters in the forest. After that, Alex dismantle them and take their skin and blood. They arrived in Capital City at night. Alex brought Alicia to the castle. Before Alex brought Firia back to Merona's house, they stopped for a while in the academy.

Alex took out the monster's skin and blood.

"Alex, what are you doing?"

"There is another battle that I need to fight. So I make preparation for it"

"Another battle?" Firia was surprised, but more importantly, she was confused. What kind of battle is that?

Alex nodded. He draws an array with the monster's blood on the monster's skin. He failed many times when making the symbol, though he already got Maxwell's special lesson, this kind of thing, he needs experiences. But since they brought a quite sum for the monster's skin and blood. He succeeds in making seven of them.

"What are they?"

"They are an array"

"Array?"

"You remember when we went inside Master place right? That is an array and these ones, Each of them can block an attack from rank 8 once."

Firia nodded. Though she was surprised by the effect, she was more curious about what kind of battle that he needs all of this "Then, what kind of battle you need these?"

"I need this for the battle…" Alex paused a bit. Firia gulped down, Alex continued with a little blush on his face "The battle with your parents"

"Eh?" Firia shocked, but suddenly a thought flashed on her mind, She blushed.

Since he finished, he stood up. He grabbed Firia hand once again. "Let's go"

"mmm" Firia can only nod, she still hasn't recovered from his words.

They flew toward the Merona's house.
