Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1962

The disciples were shaken. "This hasn't happened before. Does this mark the rise of another alchemist in the Alchemy Tower?"

"The nine chimes mean that someone has successfully entered the seventh floor!"

"What?! Did Celeste finally succeed?"

"I'm inclined to believe that it's Severin. He's been making history for four months now, and he's stands the most chances of success!"

"How is he so much stronger than all of us? I thought he just made a breakthrough to sixth-grade medium-rank alchemist?"

The disciples all had varied expressions as they flew toward the Alchemy Tower in surprise.

At the same time, Oskar—who had been in seclusion on the First Mountain within a palace deep in the mist—looked in the direction of the Alchemy Tower in surprise. His eyes shone brightly, and his gaze seemed sharp enough to pierce through the void and reach Severin inside the Alchemy Tower.

"You continue to surprise me, Severin. I am in awe of you for being the first person to enter the Alchemy Tower's seventh floor. At long last, someone will finally be able to inherit the alchemical knowledge," Oskar mumbled before soaring into the sky. He entered a sea of clouds and disappeared into the mist.

Over at Phecda Isle near the fourth mountain, Raymond exited his seclusion immediately after hearing the nine chimes. "I wonder who could have caused such a phenomenon at the Alchemy Tower."

His first thought was Severin, and he immediately flew straight toward the Alchemy Tower.

Shocked by the old man's sudden appearance, Severin calmed down and used the Mind's Eye technique to discern that the old man in front of him was just a projection from the Alchemy Tower.

"Greetings, sir!" he said respectfully.

He surmised that the old man was the eighth-level alchemist who established the Alchemy Tower and led the Grandiuno Sect thousands of years ago.

Severin's greeting elicited a warm smile from the hologram. "I'm afraid my hologram won't last long. Since you have succeeded in reaching the seventh floor, I shall now pass my knowledge down to you!"
