After what felt like both a brief moment and an eternity, Orion finally reopened his eyes. A deep and thoughtful sigh escaped his lips. "The Darkness Element truly is profound," he softly murmured, his voice tinged with subtle amazement. "Creating the Affinity Rune for Light and Darkness seems even harder than I initially thought."
Almost immediately, Lumi’s glowing screen materialized quietly beside him, gently floating as her voice rang out with an expectant yet curious tone,
[You are finally awake, Master. Have you finished comprehending the Darkness Element? (๑•ᴗ•๑)?]
Orion slowly nodded his head, thoughtful yet confident in his answer, "Yes, I have most of it thoroughly understood now."
Lumi’s floating screen bobbed happily, her excitement clear,
[Then are we going back now? (｡>ᴗᴗ<｡)و✧]
Hearing her words, Orion let out an amused chuckle before activating the golden headband. He felt space gently ripple around him as the Inheritance Ground vanished into nothingness, swiftly replaced by his bedroom.
Slowly, he opened his eyes, blinking a few times as he adjusted to the change of scenery. Exhaling deeply, Orion felt the subtle fatigue and mental exhaustion from his long contemplation finally settle upon him.
