The carriage drives out of a forest revealing the village ahead, it has a wooden palisade with a tower. The tower has archers hanging out as 1 keeps a lookout, the archer notices the carriage approaching then notifies everyone.“Quick a noble’s carriage is coming!” The archer descends the tower and rushes to the village chief’s house. This causes an uproar as the people scatter around the village with worry on why a noble is personally coming here.The carriage window opens as a Chuck’s head pops out, “Umm guys. We’ve only been gone for a few weeks, so why is there a wooden wall?” The window on the other side opens as Aku’s head is next, “It is odd. I hope everything is alright.” The carriage pulls into the village riding to the center as people watch the sleek super expensive carriage driven by a ghost. Luckily someone notified them about the smart horses.Red threads gather around a tree out of sight, a little girl materializes from the threads with a bright

Aku is on the village outskirts with her mother, Patricia. She holds sand in her hands which contains insects and dry leaves. “Okay mum, the thing about Information magic is gaining knowledge from what you can sense, but for starters it’s what you can see.” Patricia nods her head as she looks at the sand, Aku continues. “I want you to look at the sand in my hand, gather mana in your eyes and focus on the sand. You should be able to see things that are in it on a detailed level.”Patricia stares at the sand as EP slowly gathers in her eyes, she opens her eyes wide. “I see it, I see it. There’s some green stuff beneath the leaves, ants and a worm.” Aku nods her head with a proud grin, “Wait? Did you say worm?” Aku looks at the sand in her hand, “GYAAAHHH!” she threw the sand away, she rubs her hand in her clothes a lot as Patricia giggles. “Not funny mum!”Patricia walks to Aku, she stretches her hands towards Aku. “$##%&@@ > CLEAN.” Aku glows as her clothes are made clean.Aku is surpr

*DING DING DING*[You have arrived at the target location, Ergos Xenia.]Flint slowly opens his eyes as the carriage comes to a stop, the rest slowly wake up from the notification. Flint smiles, “We’re here.” He walks out the carriage followed by Aella and the duo, before them is a dungeon. “This is the first time I’ve seen a dungeon.”Aella is baffled, “Dungeons aren’t like this, is this really one?” Ahead of them about 30 meters ahead of them boulder with water pouring out of it down into two paths. Behind the boulder is a waterfall and it’s surrounded by high walls like natural formations. A door is before the boulder as the water flows on the sides of the door, there are plants on the boulder with small statues before it on a bridge. The statues seem to be 3 meters in size but they rarely look human, the statues are before the boulder arranged side by side on the sides of the path.They start to walk on the bridge marveling at the statues on it, Chuck walks slowl

Flint looks at Chuck with wide eyes, “You really did level up! I can’t believe it, I thought it would take years to level up again.” he holds his head in amazement, he looks at Aku excited as she is also elated. Chuck starts to flex his muscles.Aku walks up to the duo, “This is great! With this Aella can also level up.” Aella gives a wry smile. They’ve been training her ever since they left the city but she barely ranked up.Flint then realizes, “Guys, if that this is a mob monster. Doesn’t it mean there’re a bunch of them hanging around?” he starts looking around.Aku nods her head, “If we can lure them out and kill them one at a time, we can level up safely.”Chuck looks at Aku with a raises a brow, “And if we get swarmed?” he keeps flexingAku shrugs, “They we run with our tails between our legs. A single mob monster was this strong, imagine the others. We got to use our heads, not out muscles.” Chuck stops flexing.Flint looks across the entire floor, “W

Back in Ergos Xenia, the quartet are up against 4 monsters of this floor. It’s 4 against 4, the same lizard monster they encountered are the only monsters on this floor. The monsters are also pumped with EP crystals.Aella is running as a monster is running beside her, Aella slides to a stop and readies her rapier. “SONIC THRUST!” she thrusts her rapier out releasing a shockwave at the monster. “WHOOOM BOOM” the monster is blown back a few meters.Aella jumps and twists in the air, the monster opens its mouth with lightening firing from it. Aella dodges the lightening and thrusts down as the monster dodges *CLAANK*, the monster swings its tail at her. Aella takes a combat stance, she thrusts her rapier at the coming tail, “COUNTER!”. *BOOOM* The monster is pushed back making it lose its balance.Aella lowers her center of gravity, she leaps towards the monster, “RAPIER FLURY!” her rapier increases in number striking the monster multiple times. *CLANK CLANK CLANK* Aella appears behind
