“YAAGGGHHH!!” Aeife’s scream resonates across the mountain as Flint runs down the mountain, he catches a glimpse of Aku dashing. He lands and starts to run after her, jumping and running on walls.
He makes one big jump rolling in the air then lands before the carriage, Chuck, Aella and Aku are chatting. Flint lands before them then he places Aeife down on her feet, she shakes so much she falls but Flint catches her. Aeife blushes as she pushes Flint away and stands though wobbly.Chuck squints his eyes at the elf then he looks at Flint, “……Is anyone going to explain how an elf is here? Anyone?” Aella is confused though she shows some enmity towards the elf. Aku contemplates if she should introduce the elf to Chuck of all people.Aeife bows, “I’m Aeife.” Her thoughts, “I have to keep my family name a secret. If they now, it might put my country in danger.” She looks up to see Chuck turn his head to her with his signature smile as the wind blows through his hair making himThe 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
The sun rises on another day on the Barimah household, a certain someone is still sleeping with a map made of drool on his pillow.* KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK* The door opens to reveal Aku, she leans on the door post staring at Flint with a smile. She turns to leave.“ARE YOU REALLY NOT GOING TO TRY TO WAKE ME?!” Flint sits up pointing a finger at Aku.Aku squint her mouth, “Well, you’re sleeping so soundly. Hate to ruin your sleep.” She gives a bright smile but Flint has a vein popping on his head. Aku waves and leaves the room.Flint gets off the bed and walks to the wardrobe, “It’s a good thing my senses are sharper, if not I’d be late to the farm.” He dresses up and walks down stairs.“Big brother!” Licia runs to Flint with a hug, “Good morning!” she smiles brightly.Flint smiles rubbing Licia’s hair, “Good morning, Li. How was your night?”Licia raises her hands towards Flint, “It was wondeful.” She spreads her hands apart. “I met teacher and we had a lot of fun!”Flint raises a brow con
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
The group spend a week in the village before deciding it was time to move on. The group is at the village gate bidding farewell to everyone else. Aella and Aeife really enjoyed spending time in the village, they bonded too.On a cliff overseeing the village is a Vampire lord sending the group off as he weeps. Surprisingly, the group never found him. He wipes his tears with a handkerchief as he waves it at them, “Come back quickly! You did good distracting that girl from me, I finally had a week for myself. Come back soon so I can get more peace.” He bids them farewell.The group turns to leave by the carriage, the gates close behind them. The villagers start to disperse but Thorn is still watching, he has a very sad look. His thoughts, “*Sighs* That annoying girl is going to be here any minu- “Licia appears beside him, “Hi Mister Fang!” she waves at him.Thorn turns to look at her, “Ri~ght. No more me time.” He turns to walk back to the cave as Licia bugs him a lot
*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
The quartet walk out of the light to a massive cave before them, the cave is filled with water and has rock platforms over it. The roof has a giant crystal at the center which provides light, on some of the platforms are plants and even in the water. The platforms vary in sizes as some are like an oasis to a simple stepping stone.Flint looks around the place, “Okay, this isn’t what I was expecting.”Chuck nods as he looks over the water, “Yeah, with how flashy the entrance was I expected some ancient ruins of some kind.” He taps the water as his reflection ripples across it.Aella is amazed, “Don’t you guys get it? Normal dungeons aren’t even half as big as this.” Aku looks at Aella with a brow, so does the boys. “A dungeon of this scale can only be made by……by a god!” she looks around the place the looks behind them.The door they just walk through only has its post but no gate, this surprises them. Aku stretches her hand to the gate then a space opens showing outs
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
A space ripples as another figure jumps out, this figure looks just like the injured girl but is male with silver hair and eyes. Next to him is another figure dressed in a maid outfit with a mechanical tail behind her with blueish hair. The silver haired man walks towards the other Xenos, “Mother is alright, she just got her EP crystals disrupted EP in her so healing is slow. The realm of monsters has high EP density so she’ll fully recover in like 2 hours.” The maid beside him speaks with a sweet emotionless voice, “The Azurians are with her since they have her blood, we left her in their care.” This maid is the first Xeno but not called Wein(1) he’s there eating popcorn. Dialdelios walks to Srex, “Srex, why did you call for us?” looks at Srex waiting for an answer.Srex puts his hands behind his back and relaxes, “I kinda need your help with a dungeon in my universe. I was hoping you could mold the Crystal Orb Defense Golems to act like us and serve as bosses in
