780 Lily's helplessness, Voidlings! (This chap is fire!!)

"And you four," Athan turned to Lily, Mini, Huarin, and Dreevindo, "you will not come with me."

"Boohoo, why brother Athan?" Mimi said with a pout, "I want to go on a journey with you and meet sister Avelia. I-"

"Mimi," Athan shook his head as he patted Mimi's head, "I am not powerful enough to protect you yet. But once I become the strongest, we can roam anywhere we want without the care in the world."

Lily's fists were tightly clenched. She dug her nails into her palms as blood came out, but she didn't realize that because it was her helplessness and frustration causing her to do that subconsciously.

"All the best, Athan. I hope you return quickly," Lily said with a smile before she started walking towards the exit of the backyard.

"Where are you going?" Athan asked.

"Isn't it obvious?" Lily turned around and said with a smile, "I am going to train."
