Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1420

Even profound masters might find it dangerous to enter the forest because they did not have strong enough mental power. However, Severin and Sofia did not have a problem entering the place. They were already warrior emperors, so their vision in the forest would not be too hampered even without using their mental power. Expanding their mental power within a certain radius would allow them to see several miles further in the forest.

Severin remained indifferent as he looked at the foggy forest and listened to the frightening roars coming from within. However, he still reminded Sofia, "Our attainment might not be very high, but this is our first foray into such a dangerous place. We need to be extra careful when we're inside and pay attention to our surroundings, okay?"

Sofia could not help herself from feeling happy when she heard how concerned she was for him. She thought to herself, 'He's so considerate of me.'

"I promise I'll be careful." Sofia nodded with a smile. "Even though our mental power affords us more clarity over a wide area, we can't be too far from each other. That way, we can still have each other's back if things go wrong."

To her surprise, Severin smiled indifferently. "We've never been to such a dangerous place before, and I don't know what kind of spirit beasts are in there. It would be better for you to stay with me. After all, your mental power isn't as strong, and your range isn't that wide."

Sofia was a little taken aback. She did not know whether to be happy or sad, but she was glad that Severin wanted her to remain close to him. That way, the two of them would have more opportunities to interact with each other. From another perspective, however, his words seemed to be a scathing criticism of her abilities. 'What do you mean my mental isn't as strong and doesn't have a wide range? Are you saying that I'm not strong enough?' she thought.

Severin smiled and said, "It's not because of that. I promised my master's junior, whom I call my uncle-master, to finish the task he assigned to me. I'm still very curious what's the reward he'll give to me. I'd be happy if it's something that will allow me to improve my attainment by several levels."

"You're already a third-rank alchemist," Sofia said. "When you make a breakthrough to fourth-rank alchemist, you'll have a much easier time getting a breakthrough in your attainment. Relying on yourself is always a better option compared to relying on other people."

Severin smiled and said, "You can't put it like that either. Getting a reward is also a good thing. I was only able to become an alchemist thanks to the alchemy manual he gave me as well as the spiritual herbs he prepared for me. I wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for him."
