After seven years of hard work, Nial finally reached the Prometheus rank.

Without focusing on the cultivation process, it was quite arduous to create the remaining eight Ancient-grade Origin rings.

However, he knew what he was doing even though it looked like he was the first to create Ancient-grade Origin rings. If others were to know about it, they would probably bombard him with questions. Fortunately, that was never a problem because not even the matriarch of the Silver Eye Clan knew what a Royal-grade Origin ring should look like.

Whether it was a special perk of Unique Origin rings or the grade of the matriarch\'s Silver Eyes didn\'t really matter. Important was only that the matriarch couldn\'t see the secrets behind Unique Origin rings. It was as if the Origin Rings didn\'t have a grade in the first place.

That was what Ayase used as an indicator of someone creating Unique-grade Origin rings.

Despite that, Nial felt that would be best if nobody were to find out about his Ancient Origin Rings. As for the reason…his gut told him so.

Was it because these unknown and mysterious memories kept flashing through his mind, or was there another reason for his actions? Nial actually didn\'t know anymore.

He was lost when it came to the mysterious memories and he couldn\'t tell anyone about them even if he wanted to. Something deep inside him told him that a disaster would occur the moment he was to reveal this particular secret.

Seven years had passed in the blink of an eye and Nial\'s physical strength had increased drastically. He was physically stronger than an ordinary physical-attributed Summoner.

For his age, he was a heavenly prodigy even if he had \'slacked off\' in his cultivation. But that was not something Nial realized, in the first place. He knew that Celine was at a higher cultivation rank and that she may actually be stronger than Nial – if he restricted his usage of the Silver Eye.

The Secret techniques he had learned over the past seven years were simply too powerful for someone at such a low cultivation rank to overcome. Of course, this also entailed that it shouldn\'t be possible for someone at Nial\'s rank to learn these Secret Techniques in the first place.

Nial\'s existence was already an anomaly in itself. Thus, the people around him slowly stopped telling him that he shouldn\'t try something because it was too dangerous. Slowly but steadily, Nial was being considered a full-fledged member of the Silver Eye Clan.

He may only be fourteen years old, but his physique and sharp eyes made it seem as if he was already a mature adult. Others looked at him like an adult as well and they treated him like one after a few years passed.

Nial was inconspicuously giving hints to the members of the Silver Eye Clan whenever their Familiar had reached its potential, or when there was still some dormant potential left that could be squeezed out. This was something Nial did secretly without anyone finding out.

However, that was more than enough for the combat prowess of the entire Clan to increase substantially.

Nial liked most members of the Silver Eye Clan so that was fine as well. Even Dave had grown much closer to him after their \'dispute\' had been solved.

In fact, Dave treated Nial especially nicely after the incident. Nial was Dave and Milo\'s savior. His help allowed both to grow stronger instead of bursting apart like watermelons during beach parties during summer.

Dave\'s gratitude resulted In the accumulation of great rewards. Dave felt obliged to thank Nial with rewards, and the matriarch of the Silver Eye Clan was exactly the same. After all, Nial not only save one of her members, which was equivalent to him rescuing a member of her family, but Nial also helped their family to grow stronger.

Thus, he was rewarded with great achievements, resulting in Goldy\'s growth and the humongous golden cocoon that had appeared inside his Soul Space.

The golden cocoon was not a new trait of his Soul Space, nor was it the creation of something new. On the contrary, there was someone in particular inside the golden cocoon

-Goldy-

Nial didn\'t want any treasures for himself. If someone were to reward him with something, it should be directly related to a treasure that could aid Goldy in the right direction.

Nial knew that Gold had the necessary dormant talent to grow stronger and evolve. The Goldscale Serpent had long since broken through its racial limit, and Nial felt that it would soon evolve.

It was already at the Peak of the Mirae rank, half a step away from advancing to the Prometheus rank when it stopped growing.

In fact, Goldy did not only stop growing, but it totally stagnated, seemingly without a way to advance further. If Goldy\'s Summoner was anyone other than Nial, they would have given up on their Familiar\'s growth.

For a Goldscale Serpent to reach half a step into the Prometheus rank was already something that had never been heard of.

Thus, others discouraged his attempts to nurture Goldy any further.

Nial didn\'t really care about their comments because he knew that revenge was best served cold.

The glorious truth of his Familiar\'s dormant potential would soon be unveiled, and nobody would be daring enough to comment on Goldy\'s might and talent.

Just thinking about Ayase\'s face and the reaction of the others was more than enough to blossom a brilliant smile on his face.

Revenge was nice, but it was certainly even better than Goldy\'s journey was bound to continue alongside Nial. That made him the happiest, and it was the sole reason for Nial\'s biggest joy.

The rewards he received were perfect for Goldy, or so Nial presumed. After all, the Goldscale Serpent Familiar wouldn\'t be evolving otherwise!

Over the past seven years, Nial\'s connection with Goldy grew much stronger as well. Nial could manifest Goldy\'s tail by now, and the materialization process was pretty fast as well.

All in all, the past seven years had been a great success.

That was the easiest to see when it came to his growth in combat power, control of his Silver and Golden Eye, and the abundant Secret Techniques and their Ultimate Forms.

Without Ayase\'s meticulous teaching, Nial would have never gotten that far. He was thankful for her and wanted to repay his debt, however, he was not too sure how he could do that.

It was almost as if the matriarch of the Silver Eye Clan didn\'t desire anything. Of course, that was weird and Nial simply presumed that he had yet to find out what she desired, not that she had no unfulfilled desires.

But before he could find out anything about her wishes and ways to repay his debt, Nial had to finish mastering the Silver Eye Clan\'s techniques while Goldy was evolving.

After that, he would enter the Monster Dimension for the second time in his life and search for a second Familiar.

Ayase thought that he was too early and that he should advance to the Deux-rank before binding his second Familiar, but Nial ignored her sincere advice.

It was not necessary for him to bind an inborn powerful Monster to his Soul Link. As long as he found a Monster with boundless potential, it didn\'t matter whether it was a tiny ant with a mere trace of mana in its body or a fully matured mythical creature.

He would get his hands on them, one way or another!
