Chapter 434 How about we go and kidnap him?
The morning sun began to set on the horizon, and the entire Coexis erupted in cheers for their victorious battle against the enemies who had taken the lives of their loved ones.
Alec, Jian, Carcel, and all the young guardians of the Continent were hailed as heroes the moment they set foot inside Coexis. But it wasn't just them who got praised.
The tower's guardians also got gratitude and respect from all the races living inside the Continent. Guardian Lie and Jordan returned too after completing their mission to restore the planet's core energy.
The celebration of victory filled the whole Continent with excitement and energy. The soldiers and fighters who survived the war started returning to the Continent through teleportation arrays.
They all held their heads high and joyfully reunited with their families. Also, just as the soldiers and fighters were promised when they decided to join the war, every single survivor got rewarded. But unfortunately, the ones who lost their lives had their rewards given to their families.
Not to mention, the four rulers of the Continent tasked a lot of individuals to build a grand tomb in the center of Coexis. The people were asked to write down the names of the ones who died in the war to honor their memory.
Istalian, Yue, and the other two Kings announced that the ones who contributed the most in the war would be rewarded in front of the crowd to show them respect.
The four rulers also wanted to let everyone know that the ones who attacked the planet weren't the true enemies. The real enemies are beyond the planet's boundaries. They will attack again, and the people of Coexis need to become stronger. Strong enough to face the true enemies head-on.
Yon and the other guardians were offered the title of the Continent protectors. They were the ones who emerged from the tower just to help the planet.
Yon accepted the title on behalf of everyone. Then, he asked all the other guardians from the tower to go and enjoy the victory with the Continent.
Now that all the towers of opportunity on the planet were opened to the public, there is no need for them to go back. The tower's guardians could go back, but after living inside the tower for so long, they were all bored.
Moreover, since James's consciousness had left the tower, they all decided to stay on the planet. Some of them decided to guide the people of Coexis, so everyone could fight back if the enemies outside the planet attacked again.
The remaining guardians were not sure what they would do in the future.
Regardless, Yon told them all to do whatever they wanted. After all, he knew they all wanted to explore the world now that they got the chance.
Yon was surprised when Susan appeared in front of him in a disheveled condition, asking where the war was happening.
"Yon, so you're saying the war ended? Are you kidding me? I just killed a divine-rank individual and came to find you instantly because Kyle is ghosting me after asking me to kill that lizard. And now you're telling me everything ended? How could it be possible!?"
Susan huffed, and Yon laughed at his condition. The old man's white hair was messed up, and his clothes were torn in various places. Yon controlled his laughter and patted the man's shoulder.
"So, you were the one tasked with killing that lizard. Good job, my friend. As for Kyle, even I don't know where he is. After he was done, he left and never came back."
Susan slapped the hand on his shoulder away. He ran his fingers through his hair and left, shouting that he was going to a faraway quiet place and this time he wouldn't return no matter what!
Another day passed, and every single individual living in Coexis, young and old, started gathering together in front of the biggest castle inside the continent.
The luxurious castle belonged to Istalian. He was the only king among the four rulers to have his own castle because Coexis was built in the same place where the former Central Continent was located, and he saved his kingdom by merging it with the others.
The castle gates were opened to everyone, and the crowd gathered in the garden. It was a place where they could see and cheer for all the heroes of the continent.
Alec eyed the people and floated towards Istalian, who stood on the huge balcony overseeing the crowd and received recognition from the four rulers of the continent.
Not just Alec, Carcel, Jian, Sinon, Regius, Lara, Mia, Yon, and all the tower guardians, along with the strongest individuals of the continent, also received recognition.
Jian narrowed his eyes and massaged his temples because, amidst the vast numbers of people, only one person was absent.
He couldn't help but let out a laugh when Istalian called Kyle and Bia's names, only to receive silence in return.
The crowd also turned silent, but to their surprise, Istalian tentatively called out someone else's name after Yue whispered something to him.
Jian clicked his tongue.
"Just where the hell is that guy? Don't tell me no one contacted him and told him about the ceremony."
Nine arrived beside him and let out a sigh. After the war, he asked the merpeople to rest in the elven Kingdom.
Then, he dumped everything else on the older merpeople so he could enjoy his time in Coexis with his friends for a while because he had to leave for a faraway place soon.
"I did, Alec and Sinon did too. Kyle didn't answer the communication crystal at first, but when he did, he only said that he's sleeping and Bia's eating. So, he can't come."
Sinon joined the duo, and they floated together.
"Guys, how about we go and kidnap him? Right now, everyone inside the Continent is enjoying, and he is sleeping. That's not fair! We need to enjoy ourselves! Let's drown ourselves in good food and drinks!"
The trio jolted when Carcel suddenly arrived beside them and let out his opinion.
"I like that."
Alec and Regius also joined them, and after the ceremony was over, they all vanished together towards a certain someone who had not shown his face for even a minute after the war.
