- Booooom! Boooom!!

{Are you not going to tell us who you are, puny human?} There was a pause before then the next words comes with a switch of tone, {No, actually, do you even know what you’ve become?}

Aidou shot question after question, relentless in their pursuit of a proper answer. Meanwhile, Serein barely caught onto the rumbling voice’s words as she thought of something that was definitely more urgent than the Lion Head’s mysterious rants.

The ground continued to cave in, craters now decorating the vicinity like the surface of the moon. “Damn it!” She swore out loud. ‘I need to control this!’

Both the situation as a whole, and unsurprisingly, her Mili, which is nowlashing out frantically, very likely in response to her own frantic mind. Afterall, It's not uncommon for Mili to react independently if the person subconsciously feels the need to protect or attack. And with how this was the first time for Serein to ever be successful in summoning her own Mili, well, her Mili is a

    A bit spooked, Serein knew she couldn’t just idle around. That's why she immediately scooted away from the loudness she could hear in the distance. Though, she wasn't expecting to hear Aidou and Cevahir bickering like an old married couple or something. Serein could almost swear she heard the sound of her common sense shattering at this banter. However, not long after, she heard something else."Aiyya yaaa! Adults really don't hold back, even against children! so bad, so bad!"The young adventurer was startled beyond belief as another voice came very close to her ear— no, something was sitting on her shoulder. The added weight wasn't significant, but she doubted it was felt due to her dislocated joints.‘Not to mention this voice…’ She had just heard it not long ago.“...Pam?”Or is it Sam? Well, either way, it’s one of the Wyrms.“Yes, yes~! Pam is here! Ready to report!”The bubbly hatchling chirped cheerfully despite the loud explosions in the background. Nonetheless, the corner

    While the young Pam provided enthusiastic live commentary, the compromised adventurer and the disguised princess sought the hidden entrance. ‘I thought finding the cave would be easy??’ Well, it would have been if they didn't have to dodge incoming fireballs while avoiding the menacing flings targeting them. They were mere feet away from the main battle, yet the aftermath posed a continuous threat. “Serein-shi, is that it? The nest that you were talking about?” Cherry raised her voice slightly to be heard over the deafening noises surrounding them. "Princess, unfortunately, I am currently visually impaired right now… still. So no, I don’t know if it was it with you pointing at the place alone,” the young adventurer sarcastically remarked, her deadpan tone mitigating the disrespectful sense of her words. “Oh right.” The pink-haired girl chuckled sheepishly before providing a more descriptive report to Serein. “There's a part of the forest where the branches form a circular shape

    "I read quite a lot as a child," Serein said. However, the deafening silence from the mage was enough indication that her bluff didn't push through."Yeah, so there’s that. Now, we should hurry," Serein cut in, stepping forward and urging the disguised princess to move quickly before Aidou caught on and stopped them."Serein-shi,” Eyes sharpened in accusation, the pink-haired royalty called out to her with a stern voice, “I would love some further chat regarding this matter.”However, that pair of magenta eyes soon filled with confusion as her guide's lips curled upward in reply."Sure. Yeah, we can do that," Serein replied casually. Cherry was slightly taken aback by the response. She had anticipated lies or outright denial. Yet, instead, Serein easily answered, almost as if she had planned it or had no issue with addressing Cherry's suspicions."I wouldn't mind some talk along with a hearty meal, a cup of hot drink, and my 20 gold coins~" Serein summarized once they were safely out

    [The Ancient Hero party consisted of six members.The main hero was charming and amiable, while his twin brother was the exact opposite— cold and distant, yet quite liked by the other party members.Their journey began with the encounter of a water Elementalist who eventually became the group's healer.There was also a dwarf warrior who bravely departed from his village to join the Heroes in their noble mission.An archer hailed from the Forest Elven tribe, accompanied by a Tamer, reportedly not older than 10 years old when they joined.Lastly, a runaway teenager emerged as one of the Mages who had left her academy in search of better field experience…]However, that mage, a couple of years later, after the last infamous journey of the said Hero party, became the first Queen of Amaranth Kingdom.“The first Queen, your Ancestor, was one of three people who ever returned to their homeland and lived in prosperity."As she tried to recall the backstory of the said Hero Party, Serein kept

    Unmistakably, the magenta-eyed princess was suspicious of her, very likely thinking that Serein was making things up.Which, ironically, that wasn't entirely wrong.However, appearing confident as if she were telling the truth, Serein crossed her arms and leaned against the wall adorned with glowing pink crystals.“You still don’t trust me,” she stated bluntly, an observation that was pretty evident. The princess shot back, “There’s no evidence to support anything you just said. I fail to see the correlation between this story and your supposed knowledge of this place.”From her perspective, that logic made sense.It's been centuries since the Academy of Magic had any significant scandals, let alone anything that needs to be resolved by blaming someone and sweeping it under the rug.'And supposedly, it’s been around thirty-ish centuries since this skeleton got tossed into the deepest part of the cupboard.'A total of 3,400 years since the Academy had hidden a literal genocide with onl

    The princess felt torn.She was already forcing herself to trust this stranger who became their knight in shining armor at the most convenient time.'It’s almost as if she had been waiting for us.'It was already suspicious enough, but given the situation, it’s either believing this random guide’s guidance or soberly choosing death—the answer, of course, was too obvious to be questioned.Wary as she might be, the young mage had no choice but to depend on their ever so mysterious guide to achieve her goal and get out of this dangerous place alive and whole.Surviving after obtaining the herb she was seeking. That was the goal.Who would have thought that she’d end up hearing something so big as this?‘...I did not need to know any of this…’With her being appointed to be the next in line to the crown, Cerise felt like she had enough burden on her shoulders without this random knowledge already. Oh, how she wished that she could go back to 15 minutes ago and strangle her past self for g

    “With… me?”Nodding after pointing that out, Serein then had three of her fingers stretched out.“First things first. The song. Although, as you can tell, I know the lyrics, I don’t exactly know the tune. You, on the other hand, have been sung to that lullaby throughout your childhood. So, maybe there’s another clue on it that I missed? Either way, it’s worth looking into.”With one finger down, the cold adventurer continued.“Secondly, the Elixir. That thing has been around since the era of the great sage, another thing that has been passed down through generations.”Another finger got curled, and by now, Cherry looked calmer and rather curious for the last point since she couldn’t think up anything in her possession that lasted from 1000 years ago.Well, there’s actually one last thing. Which is—-“Your blood,” Serein stated as her eyes locked with the princess’ magenta orbs.“The last point was your own blood.”Shaken from the news, the mage’s eyes shook as she froze up a bit.“My

    — kugugugu!Loud rumbles echoed through the chamber as it continued to shake wildly. The air was thick with tension and fear. Soon enough, the three of them were greeted with more deafening noises.— BAM!!!A thunderous explosion shook the very core of the chamber, its force reverberating through the air. Serein instinctively covered her ears, trying to shield herself from the overwhelming sound. Pam, in distress, let out a desperate shriek, curling around to protect his sensitive ears from the booming impact.“Kyak!”“GAH!”The cacophony and chaos intensified, disorienting them further. The chamber seemed to tremble under the weight of the explosion, adding to the already precarious situation they found themselves in.Meanwhile, Cherry groaned in pain, flung away by the force of the opening door. She was thrown so far that she nearly teetered into the pit where the current gushed like a waterfall. The darkness below seemed endless as her widened eyes held a sense of dread, desperatel

    “If you were any smarter,” he retorted, echoing her earlier words, “You’d realize that I am not negotiating.” His tone was firm, leaving no room for argument. “You know it too, despite all of your empty threats, you’re the one disadvantaged if this matter goes any longer. So, either take it or the deal is off.”Amidst the temporary lull in the conflict, Serein remained vigilant, her senses attuned to the subtle shifts in the atmosphere. The air crackled with tension, the quietude belying the underlying currents of hostility and mistrust. She couldn't afford to be lulled into complacency by the semblance of peace.The leader's words reverberated in her mind, each syllable ringing with unyielding resolve. His demeanor exuded a steely determination, a stark reminder of the ruthless pragmatism that governed his actions. There was no negotiation, no room for compromise; it was a simple ultimatum, delivered with unwavering conviction.Serein's hazel eyes narrowed slightly, a flicker of defi

    "We'll negotiate for the return of the egg you seek," Serein proposed, her voice steady despite the tension thick in the air. "Cease your attack now, or we'll no longer defend it. Instead—-" The man's laughter echoed across the chaotic scene, his demeanor shifting from indifference to outright hostility. His eyes bore into Serein with undisguised malice, challenging her resolve. "Why would you 'protect' something you've stolen?" he jeered, his words laced with venom. Serein paused, weighing her options amidst the relentless assault. Finally, she spoke, her voice calm yet firm, "Believe what you will. But know this..." The leader was taken aback by the sudden shift in demeanor from the human before him. Gone was the desperation he had detected earlier, replaced by an air of regal confidence that seemed to emanate from her very being. The leader, accustomed to dealing with mere mortals begging for their lives or scrambling for a shred of mercy, found himself intrigued by this unexpe

It was a symphony of chaos, a tumultuous blend of natural elements and the clash of weapons, perfectly encapsulating the dire circumstances unfolding on deck. — Clang! Clang!! On one side, the ship's crew fought desperately to defend against the relentless onslaught of merfolk attackers. Their movements were fueled by fear and determination, each strike a desperate attempt to repel the invaders and protect their vessel. Meanwhile, the merfolk moved with an eerie grace, their attacks calculated and precise. They seemed almost playful in their approach, toying with their human adversaries as if engaged in some twisted game. Their movements were fluid, their strikes swift and deadly, as they closed in on their targets with ruthless efficiency.

    Cevahir's soft call carried a hint of frustration, barely audible amidst the chaos. "Fuckers," he murmured, his voice strained with the effort to convey his desires. He’s not sure what happened, but he knows that his siblings are in danger. And him, despite his injured statem longed to take action, to do more than he was currently capable of, but the weakness brought on by his wounds held him back. "Don't you dare taking them from me," a low growl escaped his lips. His words tinged with resolve despite his physical limitations. Though prideful and determined, he couldn't deny the reality of his weakened state.That being said, if anyone were to see his dimmed eyes, In that vulnerable moment, the fragility of his heart was laid bare, its protective layers stripped away. All pretense fell away, leaving behind raw emotion and stark vulnerability. In that fleeting moment of desperation, he found himself consumed by a singular focus—‘Someone save them.’Cevahir's desperate desire to spe

    “Little Human! Little Human!”The urgency in Pam's voice cut through the chaos like a blade, commanding Serein's attention. As he slithered up her leg and onto her back, she couldn't suppress a shiver, feeling his presence against her skin. However, there was no time to dwell on discomfort. With a quick mental steeling, she focused on the task at hand.Serein had just dispatched another merfolk with precision, her movements fluid and decisive. The clang of metal against metal echoed in the air as her blade found its mark, sending her opponent crashing to the ground with a resounding thud. The ship's deck bore the marks of their struggle, but she paid it little heed as she turned her attention to Pam's urgent cry for help.“Little human, help!” Pam's plea rang out, a note of desperation underscoring his words.

    Death. That dark thought loomed over Cevahir's mind like a dark cloud, creeping in and casting a shadow over his resolve as he struggled to maintain composure in the face of their new adversaries. Despite his efforts, weakness seeped through his facade, betraying the inner turmoil he battled to conceal.He wants to protect them, he needs to do that. Protecting them was paramount. It wasn't just a matter of duty; it was a deeply ingrained instinct, a primal need that pulsed within him. But it wasn't the humans he felt compelled to shield; Sam and Pam.it was the two young wyrm siblings whose well-being he had willingly taken upon himself to safeguard. They were his responsibility, his choice, and he would do whatever it took to keep them safe from harm, even if it meant facing death itself.The memories of Pam and Sam's hatching remained vivid in Cevahir's mind, a poignant reminder of the bond forged between them from the very beginning.

    The Selkie's words cut through the chaos with a chilling nonchalance, his comrades continuing their ruthless assault on those aboard the ship. Whether through direct confrontation or mercilessly tossing them into the sea, their fate was sealed in the domain of the sea monsters, where mercy was a foreign concept."The notorious degenerate who stole the sky's eggs in the past has come to steal our future leader. Such an uninspired predicament," the old Selkie remarked with a hint of amusement, his tone dripping with disdain. "To think that you'd pull off such a foolish stunt rather than laying low. What a fool."Despite the insult, the half-blood remained composed, his focus diverted to shielding Pam from harm, even in his invisible state. However, his efforts were in vain as the young wyrm, unable to bear the insults hurled at his brother, erupted in defiance."Ceva-chi is not a fool!" he shouted, his voice filled with indignation and loyalty.Summoning his courage and determined to pr

    After Cevahir's chilling revelation, the group realized that preparing for battle was imperative. However, with the conflict between the sea monsters and pirates raging on, it seemed wiser to remain low and avoid unnecessary risks. No one was eager to throw their life away in the midst of the chaos."They are angry," Cevahir's assertion echoed in their minds like a solemn bell tolling, underscoring the gravity of the situation with each resonating chime. This wasn't mere random aggression; it was a meticulously planned onslaught, orchestrated with precision and intent that sent shivers down their spines.Yet, Min Suhyun couldn't shake off the feeling of being ensnared in her own narrative web. If only she had paid closer attention to the details beforehand, perhaps then she could have avoided this predicament or known a way to address it before it reached this critical point. But even if she had done all of that, the problem wouldn't have been resolved.Unlike the main characters who
