Alex grinned upon hearing Ferīr's voluntarily giving up; well it was not voluntarily though she was forced to give up. Looking at Alex with that grin like a Cheshire cat, Ferīr sighed; she knew that the days ahead would be filled with hardships.
Just as she was thinking about her future life filled with hardships, she felt a searing pain on her back; she didn't have to turn around to know that it was a slave crest being branded there; as long her master lived she would be bonded to him, if he dies she does. The only way for her to be free would be to grant her freedom because, except that, there was no other way.
Alex, who looked at the slave crest being branded on his pet back, said nothing; he also felt something on his right chest; it lasted two seconds before it disappeared.
Disappointed because he had expected something more, Alex said.
''Is that all?''
But soon, he regretted having said those words because an intense headache assaulted him, making him kneeled; he had not felt such intense pain in a while; his body felt like it had been inside a furnace.
After what seemed to have been an eternity, Alex felt a cool sensation washing over his body; he sat on the ground; his body was drenched in blood; he glared at Ferīr, asking for an explanation.
''What the hell was that?"
Alex could have sworn that Ferīr grinned, he immediately punished her through their contract, Ferīr's small body shuddered as an electric current ran through her body w she felt excruciating pain, she immediately behaved, all the arrogance she previously had disappeared, she became obedient and explained what Alex went through.
''Master, your suffering that pain because you received some of my power, to let your body get adapted to my power, it was necessary to undergo an evolution; I'm a proud world wolf, the strongest wolf, the one that can swallow an entire world after all.''
Alex ignored Ferīr's bragging at the end of her explanation; he let her do whatever she wanted because she now knows that better not mess with him; he couldn't have another Silveria mixed in; one is enough, he would discipline her as well.
Maybe she had read his thoughts, Silveria talked.
〖Welcome back, master you have gotten stronger, but that dream you're having won't be easy to accomplish.〗
''I wonder about that.''
Silveria was shocked because normally Alex would have said something like I don't know what you are talking about, or he would have ignored her, but this time he responded, not only that his words were full of confidence that he was sure to make Silveria submit, for the first time since eon, Silveria shivered not because of fear but because of anticipation, she felt like her master had evolved beyond her imagination, he was now so confident to think that he could take her on, it was something that made her happy.
Alex's cold voice awoke Silveria from her reverie.
''Tell me what you wanted to say.''
〖Those thousand years have changed you master, but I guess who would not change after living for thousand years. What I wanted to say was that you must take a look at your current status. I can assure you that you will be greatly surprised.〗
Ferīr watched her master lost in thoughts; she thought he must be speaking with one of the spirits living inside his body; she patiently waited.
On the other hand, Alex called out his status window; it appeared right before his eyes.

''What? Finally, I have an element, the Time element, one of the rarest elements to exist, extremely powerful.'' Alex smiled pleasantly; finally he got rid of his title of the one who has no element, to think that the first element he would unlock would be a powerful one, one of the strongest elements in the universe, this made Alex wonder why he didn't have any element related to Silveria's ability, and as if she had read his thoughts Silveria explained.
〖I don't know what happened with big sister; even the previous master didn't get this element until the very end. As for why you don't acquire an element related to my unique ability, it's probably because my ability is not an element; I'm a nemesis of all magic, almost all elements, even the time element but only my sister I can win against. You must know that out there exist many time users, but I can assure you that none of them could hold a candle to my sister when it comes to manipulating time; you are slowly becoming like her. I guess, unlike my clouded eyes, she saw something in you. It's why she is so protective of you. You can surpass her I'm sure of this after seeing the abilities you have created, please continue to work hard from now on, I may be a bit harsh on you in our first meeting I sincerely apologize and promise to work harder as well, I will make you the strongest, I will be there until the very end.〗
Facing Silveria's honest declaration, Alex smiled and declared.
''Let's start anew.''
