Loosening my joints, I cracked my neck a few times to reduce the stiffness.
I stood in silence as the teleportation passage expanded before me.
"Sir, you may proceed."
A nearby soldier informed me as the passage stabilized.
Giving a final look to Arthur and Julien, who were present in the room, just as I was about to walk into the passage, something hard nudged me in the back.
There was no need to turn around, as I knew who it was.
"You had just returned from there."
I spoke as Chroma walked before me, its five massive heads staring into my eyes.
Red and Green lowered themselves to touch my face before rubbing their heads against mine.
Sigh.
Well... it wasn't like having Chroma was a disadvantage.
Even without its abilities, Chroma was powerful enough to rival soldiers of the same rank—or even higher.
But the reason I wanted to go alone was simple—I wished to test my skills in the wild, and the presence of Chroma could become an unfair advantage for me.
