On Annie's sixth birthday, Vicente was still at his family's side, having returned to Metal City in Scott Province after months of traveling with his family.
Over the course of about a year, the group traveled through the Kenyth Empire, the Chutha Dynasty, the Seidel Kingdom, and three other kingdoms, visiting the major strongholds of the Cataclysm Order and ensuring the loyalty of the order's key members to Annie.
In addition, in each of the places the family visited, Vicente helped the local forces by building new armor and improving the old artifacts, as well as the defenses of the cities and human domains.
During these months, he got some more materials to build four more 6th stage armors and left them in the southern region to help the humans in their future travels.
After doing all this, Vicente secretly led his family back to Metal City, where they lived one day at a time, preparing for his departure.
Unfortunately for Annie and Vicente's wives, their last day together on Polaris Real would come on little Annie's sixth birthday!
...
At the Fuller mansion, in the center of Metal City, Lina, Layla and Nova found themselves face to face with Vicente in what looked like a sauna. There was so much steam surrounding them they could not see the walls of the room.
The four sat around naked, glasses of wine in hand, enjoying the evening together after putting Annie to bed.
It had been a good day. Besides cultivating and receiving updates on the situation of the family and the south of the continent, they had eaten all the meals of the day together, with each of them having the chance to be alone with Vicente for a few minutes...
Now they were relaxing in this underground area, when their smiles and relaxed comments suddenly stopped as Lina dropped her cup. Her expression changed instantly, leaving the relaxed, cheerful smile behind to tighten her muscles, her eyes narrowing as her skin turned pale.
Vicente looked at his wife in silence and sighed, not needing Lina's ability to understand what it was.
Vicente finished dressing and nodded to his wife before looking into each of their eyes.
He gestured for them to come closer and hugged them simultaneously, with Lina on his left, Layla on his right, and Nova in the middle.
"No matter what happens after I am gone, you will always be in my heart. In life or death, I will do everything in my power to see you again. Just don't lose hope, no matter what happens. Just keep going until we meet again."
They couldn't hold back their tears, feeling like the most vulnerable women in the world, even though they were already powerful Paragons of five pentagrams, commanders of the most powerful human forces on the continent.
For a minute, Vicente comforted his wives before returning to the most important issue. "Monitor the places I've marked. As soon as I receive vampire bodies, I'll send them to these places. The waiting experts must absorb the blood from these corpses, and the alchemists must produce resources.
When the result of my journey arrives, the strongest on the enemy side will seize the opportunity to move and try to regain the strength they lost because of me. This will be the most difficult time for you in the short term, so be prepared."
"All right."
The three agreed to do what he wanted.
"Nova, I want you to have this." Vicente took off the Dragon's Amulet and placed it around his blue-haired wife's neck.
"The Dragon's Amulet won't be so useful to me when I go to the Supreme Continent. I could reach the indigo grade at any moment, so it will hardly help me in battle. And although it won't have the same potential in the hands of someone other than me, it can help a lot of Paragons like you."
Even though Vicente was the one who had gained the Dragon's Amulet, anyone who possessed the item could use it. The difference was that while he had an affinity with all the elements of the amulet—so he could use it completely—someone without these affinities could only use fractions of its powers.
The Dragon's Amulet was strong even for Archmages, so even a fraction of its power would be enough for Nova.
