Two days after returning from building Metal City's outer perimeter, Vicente finished his project with the materials the city had at its disposal for the time being.",

Having constructed 200 4th grade firearms and 15 pieces of armor in the past few hours, including 3 of the 5th stage and 12 of the 4th stage, Vicente bid farewell to the group that would remain behind while he traveled around the province.

With Nova at his side to accompany him on the journey ahead, he left behind his two sisters, Eve, Onyx, and Benson, promising to return in a few weeks, three months at the most.

His plans for the province included the complete restoration of the area. But he didn't intend to do all that on this trip. His goal was simpler. To secure the cities that were still standing in the kingdom and to improve the railroads.

Once that was done, the movement of people and resources around the province would be even safer, and his forces could focus on beginning to explore the abandoned or monster-infested places.

As the representatives of the city assembly had said at the previous meeting, cities like Saltstar City had many things that had been left behind, but which had great potential to make a difference in the lives of stronger or weaker magicians.

So Vicente left the city with his fiance, with whom he had had a family dinner the night before, where he had announced to the Fuller and Bain families that they would get married about a year from now.

...

Once they left Metal City, after saying goodbye to family, friends, and allies, Vicente and Nova traveled for a few hours, updating the rail line that connected Metal City to Millfall, Martell Village, and Ironcrest.

These four locations were all connected at a certain point where Vicente had just stopped with his companion.

He retraced the entire path from Metal City to that point before turning his attention to the path leading to Ironcrest.

He was closer to Millfall and Martell Village, but from what he had read in Casey and Rory's letters, those two cities were fine. With their proximity to Metal City, even if they ran into trouble, powerful reinforcements could reach them quickly.

Without worrying too much about these two places where he had grown up and started his magical journey, Vicente continued on to Ironcrest, a city that was four days away at his current speed.

He could make the trip by train in a day and a half, but since he was working on making the tracks more powerful, his journey would take a little longer.

Anyway, the two of them left Metal City at dawn, but dusk would soon come, and the two of them stopped to rest.

...

After setting up a small camp, a fire and a cozy place to spend the night, Vicente and Nova lay down and looked at the stars in the sky.

She had a radiant look on her face, experiencing something she had dreamed of for over two years when she had been away from him. Now, lying next to her husband, she couldn't help but feel as if all the problems in her mind had disappeared and there were just the two of them.

As she looked at the stars in the sky and thought about him, a curiosity arose in her mind about what lay beyond this continent, and she remembered what Vicente had told the family about the Magus' disappearance.

She looked at him, saw him with his eyes closed, breathing in the fresh air of the forest they were in, as if he were asleep.

But he was awake, and she knew it.

"Vice, what do you think happened to the legendary Magus that disappeared? Do you think they went somewhere other than the Polaris Realm?"

Vicente opened his eyes and looked at the stars in more or less the same way Nova had done a few moments ago.

As someone who had been reincarnated in this world, he believed many things, including that Polaris Realm wasn't the only magical place in the universe.

Most of the population of the Polaris Realm did not believe there were other places beyond the continent. So it was not an easy topic to talk about. But Nova was open-minded after all the things she had experienced.

Vicente was honest with her. "I think there's some kind of higher dimension than where we are. I think our universe has different levels, with places where magic doesn't exist, places like the Polaris Realm, and something higher.

I don't believe the magicians of our continent died after their breakthroughs. They reached the maximum our continent could handle and were expelled from our reality. But that doesn't mean they're okay." He laughed bitterly at her.

"Do you think you'll leave one day?" She asked as she approached him.

"Maybe." He said with all the sincerity in his heart.

He knew his potential, but he didn't deny the possibility that in the current situation on the continent, the vampires would win and he would die sooner or later.

Nova clenched her fists, imagining how lonely this world would be for her if he left. But she smiled at him, because she wanted Vicente to reach the absolute peak.

"Then wait for me on the other side. When I'm ready, I'll join you and Nina in whatever's on the other side." She said in a pleasant tone.

"I'll wait." He grinned at her before pulling her into his embrace and kissing her soft, pink lips.

As they kissed for a few seconds, moving their bodies little by little, they both felt the warmth of their touch, a burning sensation in their bodies.

Without planning anything, they started undressing each other right there, in a place where there was nothing to protect their privacy.

Lost in the feeling of passion, the two would exchange their demonstrations of love for each other in the way that couples did, uniting in one flesh for the next dozen minutes.

Even the winds in the area would cease to give them space for the next few minutes, with only the sound of their bodies 'dancing' and Nova's angelic voice echoing over hundreds of square meters.
