‘A contract with {Space}...?’— It also mentioned something about a trace of ‘another one of us.’‘Does it mean another spirit? Another Archaic Relic? Or… another ancient item?’In the midst of confusion, she could only hope that it was one of the guesses she made. Because honestly, she's out of wits at this point.Far too tired to extend her imagination just to figure out exactly what the spirit meant.So, rather than straining her brain further, she chose to ask whether she could make a contract with the spirit or not.To which, much to her delight, the spirit did not dilly-dally and simply smiled at her—- a mysterious smile that gave her stomach a light churn, but it was not a ‘no’ either.“There's a price for your prize. My tales aren’t affordable, and I shall get my remuneration for every session. But first."The spirit paused, its theatrics full of dramatization befitting an ancient being."The contract itself costs your sense of taste. Are you willing to sacrifice it?”This tim

‘Come on now, it shouldn’t be that bad… I mean, I can help Cevahir-min walk by supporting him with my arm–’True, Cevahir was part of the draconic race, highly revered among mankind and all other living races.There wouldn’t be any negative repercussions attached to her name for assisting someone of dragon-blood. In fact, if Gil were to report this to the crown or swear upon his knighthood that she did aid a member of the draconic race, she might be forgiven for taking more of the Dragon Lord’s elixir for herself.In all honesty, this was precisely why she didn't fear any punishment if discovered. She not only stole from the secret safe but also used every drop of the elixir in her possession.Because Gil, her knight, was alive, he could testify on her behalf that it was used to aid a supreme being. Perhaps, it would be her only salvation.As a princess, she couldn’t casually touch any men. Even the slightest physical contact with anyone outside her maids in propriety would stir enoug

- Clang clang!Metals grinded against each other as the gates of the cage moved on their own as if they had their own will.Closed as soon as they all entered the secluded space, there was a soft sound coming from under her feet as Cherry could sense another rune magic being activated and surrounding the cage.- Whoooosh The sound of the wind enveloped the area as a whirlwind formed under the cage and soon moved the whole thing with the three of them inside upwardsThe ceiling above them cracked open and moved away in chunks as if making a path for the rising cage to the surface.“Ooooh~! This is fun!”Pam sounded rather giddy as the lift rode its way above.“I can't agree more with you, Pam-min.”Quite awed as well, the stunned pink-haired mage watched with fascination as she praised the Great Sage for this innovative idea to move people and items at the same time.‘Such a marvelous concept!’As a matter of fact, witnessing how magnificent all of this rune magic was, made her quite

It wasn’t hard to understand what’s all of this about now that she had heard enough. Serein wanted to speak; wanted to tell the spirit that she’s not planning to be what he had feared. However, she wasn’t able to mention it fast enough when the other continued.{I’ve been watching over you ever since you arrived at this place.}Finally stopping his agitated movements, the spirit actually faced Serein as he spoke of what he had seen.{I admit that you have great knowledge about the past events, coupled with the courage of the hero that I assume you've been idolizing and wishing to be. You are indeed excellent. Despite that, I do dislike how you are too willing to sacrifice all of that like a brainless mongrel that has no goal in life.}He pointed out her mistake with a resentful stare. Despite the unclear face she’s seeing, Serein could feel the spirit's judging gaze being aimed at her as he said,{Comradeship is beautiful and all, but would it all be worth it if you died there and the

Going after something— Anything, that could potentially help her in any way to get through these new circumstances she’s stuck in. “I came here hoping that I could get some closure by obtaining your current vessel. Due to how I heard and did some research myself about how you, or more specifically, your vessel, the [Notebook of Certitude] should have kept confidential information about the world.” That living soul couldn’t see the spirit’s face. But, she could feel the other being piqued at the mention. It might have even felt something akin to praise if she were to assume. Therefore she continued, “As you have mentioned earlier, there are so many things that I don’t know and I don’t understand. And in fact, my list of inquiries only grows longer ever since I stepped into the woodland. I was hoping that you would be able to give me some answers to my piling questions, if anything.”There’s a moment of silence as the spirit did nothing but only stare at the serene soul.Serein was s

Mind clouded with doubt, Serein was about to retract the assurance she had just uttered when—“It might be safe, but I think it’ll be wise to stick close to each other in case anything were to happen?”—Almost as if reading her thought process, Cherry chimed in and mentioned what had been bothering the adventurer.“That’d be ideal, but we won't be able to find what we’re looking for at the given time if we’re not spreading the search.”Plus, their time was further cut short due to the fact that Cevahir was still very likely fending off Aidou on their behalf, or at least managing to somehow keep the said guardian busy in the meantime— He could have died if they wasted more time by acting leisurely here.“Search?” Cherry scrunched her face in confusion and asked, “What do you mean we have to search for it? I thought you said you know where the herb is located.”“Well, yes. I know where we can find it.” Serein smiled, which, at first, gave Cherry some sort of relief; even so, she soon re

- Shashashashashasha!Pam absolutely went crazy on the grass as he laughed brightly. His wild run had made the blades of grass sound like it was being beaten by the wind.His body was a blur while he occasionally jumped about. If Serein had to make a comparison, he was similar to a cat running around the house in a strange frenzy.“Yeah, I said that I only get to go once, right? Well! Brother got hurt, so Ceva-chi forbade us from searching for herbs again, and we can only hop on his shoulder,” he continued his story lightheartedly.Pausing a bit, Serein noticed that her client had also halted as she then heard the mage’s voice chiming in.“Sam-min got hurt?”Cherry asked, obviously concerned about the other adorable wyrm. However, she didn't forget to continue moving her hands to gather the flowers.“Yes, it was soooo bad! Nasty herb! Brother's tail was almost melting. It looked like it was burning as well. It was so scary!”“Huh? Was it a herb related to the acid of the forest?”Sere

“The other plants don’t look as pretty, though. Oh, and also, little human? Ai-chi told me to tell you that we’ve got the flower. It’s in the bag.”Pam casually said as he pointed to the magic bag that Cherry was holding with his tail before climbing onto the adventurer’s shoulder. Because unlike the blinking duo, that baby Wyrm knew that their task had been fulfilled, and they’d likely head home soon.“By the way, little human? How do you know about Ai-chi? Can you see spirits as I do?”Serein, who was wondering who this ‘Ai-chi’ that the young hatchling was talking about, finally realized that he’s likely talking about Aiston, the spirit that took a raincheck on their contract just a couple of minutes ago."I… No, I can't see Ai-min now. But, hmm… You can say that I befriended him when I fell asleep earlier."Trying to put up a smile despite how vexed she felt, Serein hummed to herself.'That jerk– So, he could have notified us earlier that we've acquired the flower, yet he didn't d

“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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
