As Xylon made his way back to the farm, he felt a significant improvement in his condition.
The dark energy within him had been refined during his time in the abyss, and he now had an unexpected tool, Nyxera.
He couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction and a glimmer of hope for what lay ahead.
Upon his return, he found Akuna sitting alone, her gaze fixed upon the gate of the abyss.
When she saw him approaching, leaning on the piece of wood he had summoned the previous night, she couldn't believe her eyes.
Her initial reaction was one of disbelief, thinking that he was playing some kind of joke.
"You're joking, right, Xylon?" she questioned, her voice tinged with a mix of concern and frustration.
But Xylon merely smiled in response, unfazed by her anger.
He continued walking forward, ignoring her words, knowing that she had been waiting for him all along.
