Sixth Ring Wizard

Helag knew exactly where the river was and how far he was from it.

Under these circumstances, even if a river can only rise one centimeter upstream each year, it will eventually reach the surface.

All Hrag needs is time.

For him now, time is almost infinite, and he has an infinite lifespan. As long as he is not subjected to external forces, he will almost never die.

What Hrag might need to consider is whether, once he reaches the river's surface, he can truly break through it and transcend the mother river.

He is still unable to draw a definitive conclusion on this matter, and it is difficult to deduce any accurate results based on the existing information.

Most of the time, we can only find out some information when we actually come into contact with the river.

Hrag is still far from the river, and it will take a long time to resolve this issue; it cannot be done in the short term.

After bidding farewell to the Thousand-Eyed Progenitor, he returned to the Wizarding Dimension.

Herag planned to do something, namely, to improve the strength of the people around him.

During his advancement to the eighth level of the Overlord, he realized that the people around him were becoming increasingly distant from him.

In the future, it's quite possible that an entire era will have passed in the time it takes to take a nap.

Helag now has countless resources at his disposal, which can pave the way for those around him.

……

The city in the North.

The Northern City is now a giant city; even in the entire continent of Karag, it can be considered the largest city.

The Northern Territory is vast, and even a giant city like the Northern City seems insignificant within it.

The Northern Castle is the residence of the great eighth-level wizard Herag Merlin, and a sacred place in the hearts of everyone in the wizarding world.

The legend of Herag has been circulating throughout the entire wizarding world; even first-time wizarding apprentices know about Herag's deeds.

It was a sunny afternoon when the great eighth-level wizard, Herag, left his meditation room and quietly entered the inner fortress.

Asuna sat in front of the study, carefully reading a book called "The Principles of Higher Elements," while Shalltear lay on the sofa next to her, taking a nap with very steady breathing.

This is Asuna's castle. Like Reis, Shalltear, Erza, Misu, and others, she has her own castle and her own servants.

The Northern Castle is quite large, so this little bit of space is not a problem. It is inhabited by people who are very close to Hrag.

Shalltear loves playing with Asuna and enjoys spending time with her.

So even though she has her own castle, she always lives with Asuna.

Shalltear will only spend time with Hellagur if Hellagur has time to spend with them.

Shalltear and Asuna have a very good relationship. They have been together ever since Hrag left Blackrock Valley a long time ago, and they are very close sisters.

Herag entered the study without making a sound, and Asuna didn't notice him, as she remained engrossed in her book.

"This book is very good, you should read it more often." Herag quietly came to Asuna's side, bent down and whispered.

Asuna paused for a moment upon hearing the voice, then turned to look at Hellagur and smiled sweetly.

She propped herself up slightly and gave Helag a quick peck on the cheek.

"I missed you." Asuna hugged Hellagur's neck without saying much; she was always a bit shy.

Herag held Asuna's soft body and said, "Very good. You've been meditating diligently. It won't be long before you can advance to the third level of wizard."

Asuna is the most diligent in her training among the women of Hellagur. She has few hobbies and spends most of her time studying.

However, her progress was not the fastest; that was Shalltear's.

Shalltear is the least hardworking of the women; all she thinks about is having fun and wanting Hrag to be with her.

Despite this, her progress was still rapid, and she had already become a level three wizard-level elf.

This is the power of the royal elf bloodline; even without effort, one can advance through the ranks by relying on the power of their bloodline.

Hellagur and Asuna were a little intimate, and their movements made some noise, which woke Shalltear up groggily.

She sat up from the sofa, and her tank top slipped down, revealing a patch of snow-white skin.

Shalltear immediately woke up when she saw another person in the room. Overjoyed to see Hellagur, she leaped over and clung to him.

"It seems you haven't been practicing meditation diligently; your mental strength is still about the same as last time. You are a royal elf; with a little more effort, you can improve much faster," Herag said after checking Shalltear's condition.

Shalltear has never experienced much pressure growing up, so naturally she has little motivation to work hard.

For her, becoming stronger without doing anything really gave her little reason to put in the effort.

However, from Hrag's perspective, this is definitely not enough. With better conditions and sufficient effort, it is possible to reach a higher level.

The royal elven bloodline is an extremely powerful bloodline. Although it originated in the mid-level world of the elven plane, it is no weaker than the bloodlines of many high-level worlds.

What limits them is only the level of the plane.

Despite Hrag's somewhat nagging, Shalltear wasn't annoyed at all; on the contrary, she was very happy, pressing her face against Hrag's neck and laughing, "I understand~"

Herag could tell from her expression that she had listened, but most likely wouldn't do it.

Hellagur had no choice but to say, "Shalltear, do you want to be with me forever?"

"Of course! Shalltear will stay with Lord Hellagur forever!" Shalltear said, hugging Hellagur tightly.

Despite all these years, Shalltear still prefers to call Hellagur that.

She often wears a maid's outfit and stays by Helag's side.

"But can your life now be described as eternal?" Hrag said.

"This..." Shalltear tilted her head and thought for a moment, as if she realized something.

Herag is now an eighth-level Overlord, with an infinite lifespan, and can live forever.

Shalltear is only a level three life form, and despite having the long lifespan of a royal elf, she is still no match for Hellagur.

Shalltear's lifespan is almost a negligible fragment in the context of Hrag's infinite life.

The vast difference in their lifespans meant that their lives would only intersect for a short period, and they would never be able to stay together for a lifetime.

Shalltear's eyes instantly reddened upon realizing this terrible truth, and a single tear slid down her cheek. (End of Chapter)
