Arthfael: The Grinding Hero Chapter 42. The Training Location Of Arthfael And Gerhard
The food ordered by Arthfael finally arrived. Everyone looked astonished to see the food served before them larger than they had expected. Moreover, everything looked more delicious.Because all the pictures on the menu were magically painted and couldn't accurately represent the actual appearance of the food."Wow, all of this looks so delicious! I can't wait to taste it," exclaimed Valentina enthusiastically.Arthfael smiled and said, "Let's eat."They finally started enjoying the food, savoring each dish without missing a single bite. Flare, the phoenix bird monster, eagerly devoured the food.During their dinner, Camilla remembered Arthfael's previous conversation and asked, "Oh, what did you want to say earlier? Maybe now is the right time to discuss it."Arthfael nodded, put down his spoon, and then looked at everyone sitting with him in turn.Before speaking, Arthfael took a deep breath and answered, "Gerhard wants to make Soulfire for me."Zeke, Ian, Camilla, Valentina, and ev
Arthfael: The Grinding Hero Chapter 43. Gerhard's Extraordinary Power
Arthfael unsheathed his newly acquired Moonfall sword from its scabbard. Then, he threw the empty scabbard in a random direction and his eyes instantly sharpened.Seeing Arthfael getting serious, an old man named Gerhard immediately flashed a smile. Just like Arthfael, he also raised his sword towards Gerhard, fueling Arthfael's enthusiasm even more."I won't hold back in attacking you, Arthfael," Gerhard said."Thank you for that. It's what I expected," Arthfael replied.The two men, prepared and facing each other, finally began to prepare to attack. Eventually, Arthfael took the initiative and launched an attack on Gerhard.Gerhard quickly defended against the attacks aimed at him. He easily evaded and parried every strike from Arthfael. Despite his old age, he possessed considerable experience. One of his skills, the sword technique, had not been practiced in a long time.Gerhard's defense was impenetrable to Arthfael. Even when Arthfael attempted different techniques and attacked
Arthfael: The Grinding Hero Chapter 44. The Naiadrex
Day by day passed. Arthfael's muscles grew stronger with the intense and rigorous training given to him by Gerhard. However, up until this moment, Arthfael had not managed to defeat Gerhard in combat.He couldn't even read Gerhard's movements, let alone counterattack. This frustrated Arthfael and made him feel like giving up.After an intense training session that lasted for four uninterrupted hours, Arthfael finally sat down and tried to catch his breath. Meanwhile, Gerhard was able to regulate his breathing without any signs of exhaustion."You're old, yet your energy and strength are far beyond mine. Is it because our levels are so different?" Arthfael asked.Gerhard approached Arthfael and sat in front of him, pointing at his own face. "Levels and age don't matter. Didn't I tell you before that it's all about technique?" Gerhard replied."Yes, I know! But your techniques... ah, never mind," frustratedly responded Arthfael, lowering his head.Suddenly, Gerhard stood up and reached
Arthfael: The Grinding Hero Chapter 45. Gerhard's Contracted Monster
The SS level monster named Naiadrex immediately attacked Arthfael with its water power, and as a result, Arthfael's body instantly became soaking wet. Not stopping there, the monster prepared a giant water ball to throw at Arthfael, leaving him staring at it in disbelief."Oh shit! Is he going to throw that at me?!" exclaimed Arthfael.He turned to look in Gerhard's direction, but unfortunately, the man had already disappeared and hidden somewhere. Arthfael could only avoid the attack as Naiadrex threw the giant water ball towards him."Focus on the battle in front of you and don't get distracted by anything else!" shouted Naiadrex, then threw the water ball towards Arthfael.Arthfael jumped to the other side, rolling and gasping for breath. He looked at Naiadrex, who failed to hit him with the giant water ball and seemed to sink into the ground.Now, Arthfael could only wait for the monster to reappear. He remained vigilant of his surroundings, remembering Gerhard's advice to focus a
Arthfael: The Grinding Hero Chapter 46. Naiadrex's Thunderous Roar
"What do you mean by saying that Naiadrex is your contract monster?!" Arthfael asked incredulously, pointing at Naiadrex.Gerhard turned towards Naiadrex, who was now flying lower. Then Gerhard reached out his hand and gently stroked Naiadrex. He also made sure that Naiadrex's fin, which had been damaged by Arthfael earlier, had completely healed without any pain.Arthfael approached Gerhard, who was still ignoring him, and saw how the man longed for his contract monster, whom he had almost killed in a single attack."Naiadrex has been my contract monster for 50 years. But when my wife passed away, I closed myself off, and we never fought together again... Then I asked him to return to his original place, here," Gerhard explained.Arthfael still didn't quite understand, but his gaze was now fixed on Naiadrex, who slowly turned towards him."I'm sorry for my attack earlier. I was asked not to hold back to test your abilities," Naiadrex said to Arthfael.Arthfael simply nodded stiffly.
Arthfael: The Grinding Hero Chapter 47. The Reunion Of Flare And Neptunis
The next day... As requested by Gerhard earlier, Arthfael arrived with Flare at the training grounds. The phoenix bird seemed very excited about the training session it would undergo with Arthfael. Especially in the past two weeks, Arthfael had only been allowed to train alone without inviting anyone else.Not only Flare wanted to watch Arthfael train, but also Camilla, Ian, Zeke, and Valentina. However, unfortunately, only Flare was allowed to train alongside Arthfael.Gerhard had his reasons for prohibiting Arthfael's friends from coming. The old man simply didn't want to disturb Arthfael's concentration during training. Moreover, according to Gerhard, Arthfael still had a long way to go before being ready to fight Venomweaver.Just like a regular training session, Arthfael arrived in the morning with Flare and they met at the hill where they usually trained. When Flare set foot on the spot, the bird momentarily stopped, sensing the aura of an SS-level monster nearby."What's wrong
Arthfael: The Grinding Hero Chapter 48. Arthfael and Flare VS Neptunis
Neptunis and Naiadrex faced each other before the battle. They stared at each other as if they wanted to strike each other."Are you ready to lose, Flare?" Naiadrex asked, smiling."Shouldn't I be asking that? Are you ready to lose, Neptunis?" Flare replied.Both monsters waited for Gerhard's signal, and finally, when Gerhard snapped his fingers, Neptunis and Flare moved to attack each other, as did Arthfael, who had to work together with Flare to defeat Neptunis."Let's go, Arthfael!" Flare exclaimed enthusiastically, moving in sync with his contracted human.Arthfael immediately directed his sword, and Flare flew towards Neptunis. Unlike in the monster's cave earlier, this battle felt more intense, leaving no room to breathe.Arthfael's attacks were repeatedly blocked by Neptunis, unable to find openings like before. Neptunis' attack pattern had completely changed.As instructed by Gerhard earlier, Arthfael had to focus on the attack patterns. He finally stopped attacking and switch
Arthfael: The Grinding Hero Chapter 49. Arthfael's Remaining Money
Every muscle in Arthfael's body felt pulled from various sides after being continuously thrown and attacked by Neptunis. The training this week felt even heavier than before.If he were to fight Gerhard, Arthfael might only suffer minor attacks that wouldn't be fatally detrimental, but this time, facing the Naiadrex monster, his body seemed ready to shatter at any moment."Is your body still in pain?" Flare asked, flying beside Arthfael as they walked towards the lodging place."Yeah, that's right. My body feels like it's about to crumble and explode," Arthfael lazily replied.His legs felt tense, and it was even difficult to move them. Arthfael's steps became slower and slower."Do you want to try drinking my tears? It seems like it can reduce the pain in your body," Flare offered himself to Arthfael.Upon hearing that, Arthfael immediately stopped and looked at Flare with an incredulous gaze. Of course, he felt disgusted, even though phoenix tears could heal wounds, but he didn't wa

Chapter 210. Reunion Between Arthfael and Freya
A week had passed since Alvin's initiation into the corporate rhythm of Graham Company. As he approached the office building on that particular morning, he noticed Marshall standing near the entrance. The two exchanged a friendly nod, and without hesitation, they walked side by side into the bustling lobby.The elevator doors opened just as they reached it, and Alvin and Marshall stepped inside. The hum of the elevator's ascent enveloped them in a brief moment of solitude. It was within this confined space that Marshall broached a topic beyond the realm of work."Hey, Alvin," Marshall began, leaning casually against the elevator wall, "how's Camilla doing these days? Last time we talked, she had just lost Richard."Alvin's expression softened at the mention of Camilla. "She's doing much better now," he replied. "She's formed a contract with Neptunis and even mastered the art of lightning magic. It's incredible how resilient she is."Marshall's eyes widened in genuine amazement. "That'

With the introduction to his new workplace, Alvin felt a mix of excitement and anticipation. Sophia led him to the 3rd floor, where his workstation awaited. Upon entering the spacious, well-lit office area, Alvin noticed the hum of productivity and the scent of freshly printed documents.Sophia directed Alvin to a desk where a woman was working diligently on her computer. Alvin's eyes widened in recognition — it was the same woman from the elevator earlier. Sophia approached the desk and tapped Felicia gently on the shoulder."Felicia, this is Alvin, our newest addition to the team. Alvin, meet Felicia, your colleague here. She'll be showing you the ropes," Sophia announced with a warm smile.Felicia turned around, her face lighting up with recognition. "Ah, we did meet earlier, didn't we? Good to officially welcome you, Alvin!" Felicia extended her hand, and Alvin shook it warmly.Sophia, pleased with the positive atmosphere, continued, "Felicia, please help Alvin settle in and guide

Chapter 208. Interview At Graham Company
Alvin, with a head full of new memories and a heart carrying the weight of two worlds, stepped off the bus into the familiar hustle and bustle of the city. The urban landscape, with its towering buildings and constant hum of activity, seemed both alien and strangely welcoming after his fantastical adventures.He strolled down the busy sidewalk, a stark contrast to the forest trails and mythical creatures that once accompanied him on his journey as Arthfael. The echoes of his footsteps resonated with the rhythm of city life, and he couldn't help but feel a twinge of nostalgia for the simplicity of the human world."Missed this place," he muttered to himself, his breath forming a small cloud in the chilly air. Despite the bustling crowd around him, Alvin found himself longing for the solitude of the forest, where every rustle of leaves told a story and every creature held a secret.Approaching the Graham Company building, Alvin gazed up at its sleek exterior, adorned with reflective gla

Chapter 207. Alvin Is Back
A man with black shirt, still caught in the hazy transition from one reality to another, found himself in a small, cozy room. The remnants of dreams clung to his consciousness as he heard the persistent knocks on the door. The voice outside, insistent and slightly annoyed, belonged to someone who seemed to know him well."Alvin! Alvin! Wake up, it's already morning! I've cooked breakfast, and if the food gets cold, I'll hit you!"The words echoed in his ears, and Alvin groaned, trying to make sense of the unfamiliar surroundings. The name "Alvin" echoed in his mind, and he muttered to himself, asking aloud, "Who's Alvin?"Reality asserted itself, and with a jolt, Alvin's memory clicked into place. He wasn't Arthfael, the hero navigating a magical realm. He was Alvin, and this room was his own. He rubbed his eyes, willing himself to wake up from the lingering traces of the fantastical adventure.As he stirred, the room revealed familiar details—a worn-out poster on the wall, a collecti

The room, adorned with the regal elegance of the Kingdom of Dragomir, became a sanctuary for Arthfael, Valentina, and Flare. As they entered, Arthfael locked the door behind them, enveloping the space in a cocoon of privacy. The air within held a palpable weight, a prelude to the poignant moments that would unfold.Valentina, with her tiny form and delicate wings, sighed audibly. "This might be our last meeting, Arthfael. We may not see each other again."Flare, the Pyroblaze Phoenix, who had accompanied Arthfael through battles and triumphs, let out a cry tinged with sorrow. The fiery aura surrounding her seemed to flicker, revealing an underlying emotion.Arthfael, perceptive to their sentiments, inquired, "Flare, are you crying?"Flare, attempting to conceal her emotions, retorted, "No, it's just something in my eye."Arthfael, recognizing Flare's attempt to mask her true feelings, chuckled and pulled her into a tight embrace. Unlike her usual blazing form, Flare's body now held a

The night settled over the Kingdom of Dragomir, casting a gentle glow on the palace gardens. Arthfael, Camilla, Neptunis, Flare, and Valentina gathered under the twinkling stars, surrounded by the fragrant blossoms of the palace garden. The soft hum of crickets and the distant murmur of the celebration in the courtyard provided a serene backdrop.Seated on a stone bench, Camilla began reminiscing about the first encounter between her and Arthfael in the Esteria Kingdom castle during Prince Frederick's birthday celebration. The memory brought a nostalgic smile to her face."Ah, that was quite the eventful night," Camilla chuckled, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Who would have thought that a simple escape plan would lead to such extraordinary adventures?"Arthfael, leaning back against the bench, nodded with a grin. "It was a night of unexpected turns, and I'm grateful for every moment."Neptunis, the calm and observant one, added, "Fate has a way of weaving its threads in the most

Chapter 202. The Truth About They Who Failed
Arthfael, standing in the room that served as a temporary sanctuary within the Dragomir palace, took a moment to collect his thoughts. The events that had transpired — battles fought, alliances forged, and the sacrifices made — weighed heavy on his mind. He couldn't shake the memory of Freya's selfless sacrifice, a haunting reminder of the costs endured in the face of darkness.In an instinctive motion, Arthfael raised his hand, and a holographic screen materialized before him, displaying a series of information. His eyes focused on the screen as he rotated his hand, prompting a pop-up that revealed a number: 999.Arthfael's level, a reflection of his strength and capabilities, stood at the pinnacle. The enormity of his power, however, was juxtaposed with the feeling of inadequacy that lingered within him."Freya," Arthfael murmured, his voice tinged with regret. "I'm sorry. You sacrificed so much for me, and yet I couldn't protect you. I was too weak."At the bottom of the holographi
