Chapter 859: Fated to be Yours
This was the usual bickering between friends of the same level; even Orion couldn’t get a word in, let alone Kraken and Isabella. The two of them could only let their imaginations run wild, trying to guess what their Archlord big shots had been up to.
After a short while, the Deputy Commander spoke up, putting an end to Leonidas and Alexander’s squabbling.
Edward: I have sent the items to you all. Check for them yourselves.
Edward: Arthas and I will be entering a period of slumber. It won’t be for too long.
Edward: My storm avatar will carry a will-projection to stand guard over the Emerald Dream Realm. Alexander and Leonidas, you two keep an eye on things there.
Edward and Arthas had gained a great deal from this duel. Besides each receiving a Relic, they had also acquired a wealth of combat experience that they needed time to digest. Furthermore, both had lost a powerful will-projection in the battle; they were injured and needed time to re-condense them.
Leonidas: Don’t worry, Deputy Commander. I’ll watch over it.
Alexander: Leave it to us.
Exiting the public channel, Orion saw he had received a private message from Arthas.
"Well done. If you hadn’t won, the momentum would have shifted. Alexander might not have been able to handle the enemy on his own."
When it came to Orion, Arthas was pleasantly surprised. In the beginning, he hadn’t had particularly high expectations for him. When he first introduced Orion to the Champions Alliance, his only real hope was that Orion wouldn’t fall behind Kraken. He had assumed that as long as Orion survived, he would one day reach the Archlord tier and become a true partner.
However, after seeing Orion in the Godforsaken Land, Arthas had changed his mind. But no matter how quickly his opinion changed, it couldn’t keep up with the speed of Orion’s own growth.
