First final= done so here's a chapter to celebrate. (yes celebrate with me damnit) anyways enjoy this Lol filled chapter. I do btw have a strong sense of humor and anyone who has read [Second Saga] is probably surprised there hasn't been much comedy in the series as of yet. (Excluding the slight fist pump) As for those who think that these actions don't suit them because they are gods. Well just remember this is an attempt at combining western and eastern fantasy. So enjoy~!~

Sometime after Owen jumped in it had already been a few minutes that Owen was underwater. Kovinth was surprised that Owen lasted this long so he thought to go personally check on him. He could have checked just by spreading out his soul throughout the cave but although he wa a lazy person when it came to his one and only disciple he was more than willing to work for it.
He was thinking of how to praise Owen on lasting this long without letting it get to Owen’s head. Naturally Kovinth never thought that Owen was the type of person for pride to get in the way. However it was never a good idea, as a teacher, to over praise his student. It would directly reflect on bad habits to the student as well.
Kovinth was just that serious of a person. He was diligently teaching Owen, and he wouldn’t start slacking off now. However while he was thinking this he turned the corner to where the Water Crater was and noticed something. This something he noticed, was a body floating on top of the water. At this moment Kovinth’s world shattered and he started to panic. He wasn’t quite sure what to do, it was as if all his millions of years of knowledge at this moment shattered in his mind and he could only stare at the drowned state of his student.
As Kovinth was recovering there was a fire of rage that erupted in his eyes, his body was tensing up and he was about to fully explode when someone slapped him so hard he slammed into the ground.
“You damn fool, is your happiness of having a disciple allow you to forget how to use CPR? Even then you could just force the water out of his lungs with Essence.”
Osena stepped on his back while reprimanding Kovinth. At this moment Kovinth started to think straight and didn’t mind the hard blow that Osena landed on his head. He only teleported while under Osena’s foot and started to force Essence through Owen’s water filled lungs. Directing the water out of his throat Owen immediately started to cough. At this moment Kovinth and Osena were thinking quietly to themselves.
‘Ah this boy is so stubborn he might end up killing himself.’
On the other hand Osena was thinking something entirely different.
‘Ah that felt good. I probably would never have gotten the opportunity to get revenge for yesterday if he didn’t turn into an idiot at this moment. Well whatever I like this side of him.’

Finally Owen managed to regain consciousness after a few more moments. He felt weakened all over as the muscles had lost all of their Essence entirely. He had found it incredibly difficult to breath the Essence while under water. But nonetheless as time went on he kept thinking.
‘I’m getting closer, I can do this!’
But at last breathing underwater successfully in a matter of minutes on the first try was too difficult for anyone not to mention Owen. It can be said that talent doesn’t exist in the world of Pathwalkers, but instead only the strong willed and diligent are able to keep walking. But then that creates another problem where people become stubborn to the point of losing their lives. And now Owen had experienced that and Kovinth nearly destroyed the entire world.
“From now on you can only stay underwater for 2 minutes at a time.”
“Yes Master.”
Seeing the worry all over Kovinth’s face Owen felt a tinge of regret and answered simply. But as soon as he answered he realized that there was another person in the room. This was the first time since he met his master that he met someone else. And clearly from the fact that Kovinth was not driving her out meant that she was an acquaintance. Osena made eye contact with Owen and she smiled sweetly, after all she was impressed by how idiotic this pair of student and teacher pair was. Owen noticing her gaze gave a slight bow in respect as he forced himself to get up. Kovinth wanted to stop him but Owen was simply too stubborn. He wished to be respectful to all those he met for the first time. Even if someone else was disrespectful in their first meeting Owen would show the utmost respect. This was his personality. This was how he lived.
“Owen, this is…. Umm… What are you too me?”
Kovinth gave a serious look to Osena as if he entirely no idea how to describe their relationship the slightest, he nearly said acquaintance at best, but seeing her cold glare he stopped and decided it would be best if she answered instead.
“Nice to meet you Owen, I am Osena. And this brawn for brains is unfortunately my husband please take care of him.”
On impulse Owen bowed and responded.
“I will do my best.”
But Kovinth was momentarily stunned and after seeing the serious reply from Owen he roared back
“Who is your husband!”
Owen and Osena both pointed to Kovinth as if the answer was already quite clear. Owen had already learned that in a relationship usually the woman was right. So he agreed. Even if it was a slight betrayal to his Master, deep down he felt that if he didn’t point, Osena would never let him off.
