Rosalie paused for a moment, trying to process what it meant by making a party with them. She did not give her answer, turning her attention toward Zowen. They had a plan to follow Tang Shaoyang after they finished the trial. That was the original plan, and she did not understand if this party was any different than the original plan.

"I am not going to catch up with Ta— His Majesty. I decide to go on my own, exploring the dimensional tower with Areth, and Zaneos decides to follow me. But the condition is that we are not going to follow His Majesty," Zowen explained.

"This is different from what we planned earlier beforehand," Rosalie was surprised at first before the surprise turned into a disappointment. Zaneos and Zowen could tell that from her tone.

Zowen explained why she backed up their original plan. First, it was because of the Grimoire of Lightning. She wanted to learn more about lightning. Second, it was her third class, Spirit Mage. She was unfamiliar with the class, but she could tell it was a strong class. She just could not utilize the class to its full potential. That was why she decided to go on their own instead of following Tang Shaoyang which could be dangerous. It would be dangerous not just for her, but it would be dangerous for Tang Shaoyang if she was too weak.

Meanwhile, Zaneos who decided to teach Areth decided to quit his job as TEIS Instructor. Looking at the two women who worked very hard for the empire awakened her spirit to fight as well. The demon wanted to help Tang Shaoyang, and the first step was to explore the eleventh floor of the Dimensional Tower, so he could get stronger. The Dimensional Tower was full of opportunities for him.

Between the three, Zaneos had to admit that he was the weakest in terms of power. His choice for Trial of Epic was Artifact and his choice of reward from Trial of Ancient was another class. He did not have a bloodline yet, and his purpose in entering the Dimensional Tower was to get a bloodline or reach the Myth Rank as fast as he could.

On top of that, the main reason was Areth. Zowen did not want to leave Areth by himself. She wanted to do her best for him. That was why the two agreed to form their own party to explore the eleventh floor with the purpose of increasing their power and training.

"I see…." Rosalie understood her friend's position, not insisting Zowen stick with the original plan. She could not force her friend to follow her, that was so selfish of her, "I understand, but I can't join your party. I will go on my own to follow him. I got a decent talent and a better upgrade for my bloodline. I will not be a burden to him and can protect myself with my current power."

Zowen felt guilty, and she wanted Rosalie to join her. But she was in the same position, and could not force her friend to follow her.

"There's no need to feel guilty. I have Wrath and Greed for my company. Those two are the only way for me to track him," Rosalie could tell that her friend was guilty of not being able to keep their promise.

"It's unfortunate. I wish I had the same confidence to follow His Majesty, and I want to follow him too, but I am too weak compared to him. I will be a burden for him for sure," Zaneos voiced his feelings.

Tang Shaoyang was the reason he came out of retirement. Once more, he wanted to be the sword for his benefactor and also the person he respected. But The Demon Swordsman realized his limit, and he would be just a burden to him.I think you should take a look at ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoᴠelFɪre.net

"When are you going to depart? I will enter the tower tomorrow," Rosalie changed the topic before it became too awkward. She planned to leave as soon as possible after she finished all the trials. If not for Elinova and the other girls, she might leave today. However, she wanted to spend one last day with them before departing.

"Then let's depart together," Zaneos followed the subject, not wanting Zowen to fall on her guilt. It was not much of a big deal, but breaking a promise was a big deal for Zowen. For someone who died after being betrayed, breaking a promise was not much different than the betrayal.

"I am hungry," Rosalie got up from her seat, taking a cue from Zaneos. She hugged the Lightning Magus from the side, pulling her up to stand, "Come one, Zowen. That's not a big deal. In fact, I know that he does not want us to follow him. It's just me who is stubborn. Let's have a little party before we depart."

The three former spirits left the room, joining the other girls. Elinova did not mind Rosalie bringing her friends. Especially her spirit friends.

The following day. Elinova, Delia, Arina, Li Shuang, Sylvia, Ava, and Jasmine follow Rosalie to bid farewell. The Flame Empress received their blessing before entering the portal.

"You are alone, so you must be extra careful. Don't push yourself too hard and don't take unnecessary risks. Your life is more important than anything, and you should know that Rosalie," Elinova advised with a rare serious face. The purple-haired woman always had her soft smile, but it was not there today.

"I know," Rosalie smiled, nodding and hugging Elin. The other six women also came forward, hugging the Flame Empress. At the last moment, in front of the portal, Rosalie stood in front of Ava, "The baby. He is quite excited about the baby and almost does crazy things so he can come back earlier. You must protect the baby and stay healthy to deliver the baby safely."

The former Elven Queen smiled and nodded. There was no need for Rosalie to remind her. After the final farewell, Rosalie entered the portal with Areth, Zowen, and Zaneos.

The portal led to the area at the tower's entrance, and they immediately went into the tower. A stream of people came in and out of the tower as the other factions outside of the eleven top factions started to arrive at the area. The area was more lively with more factions arriving.
