After getting a good night's rest Drake and the others went on with their journey. As they walked through the dark tunnels illuminated with the lamps he had prepared in his inventory he began to reminisce about the first time he set foot in this world."This brings back memory." Drake said, noticing the luminous moss on the walls."You have been here already, huh?" Rolamd asked."Yeah." Drake said with a chuckle before looking at Ragnar who was leading the way. "Come to think of it, what fir you do with all the supplies and equipment the church left behind.""Nothing." The old man said. "We decided to leave everything behind just I'm case those bastards returned." "Good decision, I would say. They never let my ass alone even though they aren't supposed to know anything about me."If Drake had a grudge against the black cloaks for what they did to him when he first came to this world, he now despised their existence so much that he wants to make it his life's mission to hunt every las

"This is taking longer than expected." Drake said as he fell on the cold floor.The beast encounters became more and more frequent as time went on, and each one was more troublesome than the other. "The density of Magical Essence is quite high here." Layla said, blowing on her hands to warm them up. Turns out they were approaching he center of a really large magic zone. Their destination in other word. That explained the number of beasts and their strength, however knowing that didn't make them feel any better about it. "Old man, how long do we still have to walk?" Drake asked. "Not much." Ragnar answered. "We will be reaching the exit in about an hour.""Then we better find somewhere to camp. We need to get some rest before the big battle."A few minutes later the party found a relatively quiet. It was close enough to the king's domain that no beast dared to enter but it was still far enough that the new Frost king didn't notice their existence. They set camp and cooked some foo

"You have been listening in on is the entire time?" Drake said, sounding utterly unsurprised."Well, you can't really blame me." Rillo said. "I couldn't bring myself to interrupt your moment."Turns out the red haired boy had arrived ahead of time, killed the new Frost king and was waiting for the others to come out so he could surprise them with an epic entrance."Anyways, as I said before it would be for the best if you dont revive the kid now." Rollo said, eager to change the topic. "No." Drake said. "Why do we have to listen to you? You think you can just come here and make demands? Fuck you and your council bullshit! Go deal with them and leave me the fuck alone.""You dont really have much of a choice." The boy said, ignoring Drake's outburst. "You think those guys care about your circumstances? You're just a nuisance that could be removed any time. The only reason you weren't killed is that you are considering a part of my family, which let us decide what punishment you get. T

"Roland, I'll be relying on you." Drake said to the tall guy. "You got nothing to worry about." Roland flashed a wide grin.After much discussion it was decided that Roland and Layla would be hiding in the tunnels under mount Icewyrm. Going back to the Blue Giants village would be too much trouble as wanted posters with their faces must have spread by now. "Just to be clear, dont you dare lay a finger on my wife." Drake said jokingly, however the aura leaking from him said he was rather serious.He then turned to the old man with a wry smile."Sorry for dragging you all the way here for mo reason." "Nah it was quite the nice experience." Ragnar said. "With this I'll be finally able to retire in peace.""Even though you didn't get the adventure you were looking for?""Who cares about that? Someone my age wouldn't be out here in the first place."The old manlet out a throaty laugh then patter Drake on the shoulder. "Stay safe, lad. Be sure to drop by when it's all over."Drake then

"Shit…" After walking for a while Drake found himself at the edge of a cliff. Apparently he was on a small floating island the entire time with the black castle being quite far in the distance. From that hight he didn't even see the surface down below. A sea of clouds was down there with some floating boulders and islands here and there. Compared to the islands he had traveled to so far the ones he was seeing now were much smaller. No island big enough to carry a single city was around. That made him wonder if the Dragonspears were living in isolation, cosimg this place specifically because it was away from the rest of the world. After thinking about it for a while Drake decided to use his flight skill to reach the island with the black castle. He stepped away from the edge of the cliff, took a deep breath and prepared himself, then when he was ready he began dashing forward using Flash step to increase his speed then jumped with one lef on the edge reaching the highest point he c
