The night had arrived. The journey undertaken by Arthfael, accompanied by two guards from the Kingdom of Esteria, was forced to stop to prevent a monster attack during the night. It was common for monsters to be more active at night, hunting for prey, so they decided to take a break instead of moving at night and attracting the attention of hunting monsters.The horse drawn carriage carrying Arthfael and Valentina eventually came to a halt, and shortly after, one of the guards knocked on the carriage window to inform them of the reason for the stop."Lord Arthfael, we will make a brief stop here before entering the next forest because there is a Grimlash monster that likes to hunt at night," said one of the royal guards."Oh, I see. Very well," replied Arthfael as he stepped down from the carriage along with Valentina, who had just woken up from her sleep.For Valentina, who was very small in size, the carriage seating area was quite spacious. It was no wonder Valentina could sleep so
Arthfael stood in front of Valentina, letting the fairy dry his wet body after bathing in the river, along with his soaked pants from being immersed in the river to catch the Aquarus fish king he was targeting."Okay, we're done," said Valentina right after Arthfael was completely dry.Arthfael looked at his body from top to bottom and made sure it was completely dry. After confirming, Arthfael nodded his head and looked towards the pile of fish.There were at least 9 fish on the riverbank, impaled with the spear he had made a while ago.With so many fish, plus 1 large fish king, Arthfael now felt confused about how to carry them all."If I carry them all at once, it will be difficult. Should I go back and forth here to carry the fish bit by bit?" Arthfael asked."The distance from the river to the stopping point is very far and not efficient. What if we look for hanging tree roots? They are usually more elastic and can be used to carry these fish," Valentina suggested."That's true.
Arthfael returned with two tree roots he had obtained and handed them to Valentina with a delighted expression on his face, unable to contain his happiness.Valentina looked at Arthfael suspiciously and squinted her eyes at him, "What's wrong with you?" Valentina asked, confused.Arthfael approached Valentina immediately and carelessly placed the roots by the river, feeling enthusiastic about his own story."Valentina!" Arthfael called out, feeling happy because he had just met a phoenix named Flare in the middle of the forest."What's up?" Valentina asked lazily but still approached Arthfael, curious about his story.Especially since Arthfael had been gone for quite some time just to find two tree roots."I met a phoenix!" Arthfael exclaimed excitedly.Contrary to his expectations, where Valentina would be ecstatic, overjoyed, and even look at him with sparkling eyes as if she couldn't believe his story, Valentina reacted the opposite of his expectations.Valentina's face appeared fl
The journey of Arthfael, along with Zeke and Ian, which had been delayed, finally resumed as the sun rose again. The horse-drawn carriage continued its journey through the forest and passed through the valley.The sun, which had initially only revealed a small portion of itself, now dared to show itself higher. The weather gradually turned hotter, subjecting Arthfael, who was inside the carriage, to an extraordinary heat."Goodness, does the scorching weather here always feel like this?" Arthfael asked, removing his outer clothing and leaving only a white shirt to cover his upper body."Yes, that's how it is. We will soon enter the Blazing Arboretum," replied Valentina, who also appeared to be overheated and sweating profusely."What is the Blazing Arboretum?" Arthfael asked, as he had no knowledge of this new world."The Blazing Arboretum is one of the hottest forests in this place. It used to be a volcano filled with lava in its surroundings. But it was destroyed when the volcano er
For a fruit called Emberberries, located inside the cave where Inferno Falcon resides, Arthfael, along with Zeke and Valentina, began to devise a plan for themselves.Actually, their plan was quite simple. They would secretly take the fruit and then return to the horse carriage. But in reality, the forest they thought would be easy to pass through was not as they had imagined.The three of them now hid behind the bushes as they watched a flock of Thunderbreaks flying in front of them. They immediately took cover and were perplexed about what to do."So, what do we do now?" Valentina whispered to Arthfael and Zeke.Zeke shrugged his shoulders, unsure of what to do next. He looked at Arthfael, who was crouched beside him.Feeling Valentina and Zeke's gaze, Arthfael became confused as well. He was already feeling unbearably hot and on top of that, he had to hide in the bushes."Earlier, you said Thunderbreak was at what level?" Arthfael asked Valentina again to confirm."Level A," Valent
Arthfael, Zeke, and Valentina walked slowly, entering the dark and dry cave. The heat became more intense as they entered the cave."Oh my, this place is filled with green plants, but the air is so hot, like being in the middle of a volcano," Valentina murmured, fanning her hand toward her face, trying to alleviate the heat she felt.Arthfael continued walking until they finally stopped in the middle of the cave, where the Inferno Falcon was located. They saw a large bird with a big beak sleeping in the center of the cave.And right in front of the creature, there was a small tree about 50 cm tall with beautiful dark blue fruits."What are those fruits?" Valentina whispered to Arthfael, as she had never seen those fruits directly before.Arthfael looked at the fruits, and suddenly, like in a video game, information about the fruits appeared.The man was surprised to learn that he could easily identify the fruit with just his desire. Even the function of the fruit and the place where i
Arthfael and Valentina exited the cave, and just as Valentina had predicted earlier, Zeke was still crouched in front of the cave, his shoulders trembling in fear as he continued to hear the sounds of explosions and rumblings from within."Zeke, let's go back," Arthfael called out.Zeke still didn't hear Arthfael's words and continued to cower, his body shaking beneath him. Finally, Arthfael approached Zeke and tapped his shoulder."Zeke," Arthfael called.Zeke jolted and his eyes welled up with tears as he saw Arthfael standing in front of him. He immediately stood up and embraced Arthfael."Oh my goodness, sir! I thought I would lose you in there! The sounds of explosions from within were so loud that the ground was shaking and trembling violently," Zeke exclaimed.Arthfael smiled, patting Zeke's shoulder, and looked at him reassuringly. "Zeke, never underestimate my strength. Even though I don't possess magic, I am still quite powerful. You see? I'm not even hurt at all," Arthfael
Arthfael stepped into the headquarters and hiding place of the soldiers, guards, and even the prince of the Kingdom of Esteria. As he entered with Ian, Zeke, and Valentina, the royal soldiers turned their gaze towards Arthfael, surprised to see the figure of Valentina, who was none other than a fairy.Fairies were considered the rarest creatures to encounter due to their small size and extraordinary tasks. Typically, fairies were assigned to guard human children or even children of some monsters. But this time, Valentina, a fairy, had to assist in watching over and protecting Arthfael, a human from another world."Oh, it's a fairy," whispered one of the soldiers, realizing Valentina's presence next to Arthfael."Look, it's a fairy. It's my first time seeing one," replied another."Turns out she's so tiny. No wonder we never realized fairies were around us," murmured another soldier.Although they tried to hide their conversation, Valentina could still hear it, making her feel uncomfor
