“I thought you said you knew this place like the back of your hand!”Jasmine’s voice echoed in the empty tomb. Both she and Seiko sat across each other, a camp fire separating them as Seiko drank water from his can.“Obviously something weird happened.”He said and grabbed a plate from his sac. The metal plate vibrated, creating a sort of relaxing hum. This managed to catch Jasmine’s eye.“And what’s that? You’ve been playing around with it all this time.”“It’s a [Teleport Identifier]. It can tell when there’s some sort of spatial distortion in the surrounding.”Jasmine closed the distance between herself and him and gazed at the metal with excitement.“A paladin’s magical tool? That’s so, like, lit!”She said as she tried to snatch it out of Seiko’s grasp. The latter was faster, managing to easily move it out of the way.“Lit? What does that mean?”“Hmm, like, cool, dope, awesome, excellent, badass, fun, amazing, totally lit! You understand?”She said so many words at a time Seiko f
"Oooohhh!"Kara sat up, taking in large sacks of oxygen. She thought she had actually died after the domain exploded.'I really need to come up with a better spell than [Radio Wave].'"How are you?"Ulva said, with her hand extended to the ogress. Kara took her hand with a grin. The girl now looked like how she did originally, only that her hair was black with stripes of white in a horizontal on her head, and her body had grown a bit taller."No problem. You good?"The girl's hands were cold. Not very cold, but they were colder than usual. Kara was able to sense the mana flowing to her hands."Yep. Thanks for the help. Now I can do something useful.""Something useful?"The little girl ran off at the spectre, covering her blood red claws with ice from [Basic Ice Magic].She unleashed a barrage of attacks on the spectre, so fast she was a blur. Both she and the spectre clashed and their attacks sent powerful winds out. The spectre threw her away, but she curved her body in a way that s
"Aaagh! That actually hurt you stupid monster!" She complained. The battle god kicked the minotaur off her body then stumbled as she got up. Her wound from earlier still hadn’t healed up in time. She clicked her tongue, then channeled power into her right fist. "A-are you ok?" Kara asked. "Yeah, but this monster isn't normal. My techniques bounced off its head like nothing." "I-I'm not sure, but maybe it is because of the metal it is made off?" "What? There is no metal we battle gods cannot destroy." "Y-yes. Although that is true, it isn't the same as fighting an automaton." "Eh?" "I've read up on automatons before. There are various kinds of them, all under different categories and classes. I've also read up on this particular minotaur. This is Kaleb Zen's Mecha Minotaurus." "So?" "You don't get it. Kaleb Zen was an insane alchemist and inventor in his time. He was called the 'Prince of Alchemy'. Famous for many inventions and he claims to have boosted civilization by about
"L-let's take a little break."Aeri suggested, and the others agreed, collapsing on the ground. As they were slowly succumbing to sleep from exhaustion, Kara remembered something that put her on alert."WAIT!""Huh? What is it!? What's happening!?"Aeri snapped."Where is lady Hinotori!?""Huh? Is that why you were screaming? She's right over ther- HUH!?"Aeri responded with an annoyed tone, pointing to a black case at the wall across them."Eh? That is not Lady Hinotori! It is a dark object!""B-but. I put the little bird there!""Oh, Aeri, you lost Lady Hinotori!?""I-I…"Ulva's nose started to act. She kept on sniffing the air and walked towards the case, then touched it. When she looked in it, it was actually crystalline and by just a bit, she managed to see through it."I can smell big sis' blood coming from that thing."She said, then fell over the case sleepily."EH!?"Both of them screamed"Are you saying that thing is the bird!?"She nodded to Aeri's question, while sleepily
It didn't take long for them to reach the next area, but the place was empty. There was nothing around them. Just a tree root dropping from the dark ceiling. A few glowing orbs floating around and a flowing river, surrounding a tiny Island with nothing but rocks on it."Hmm… is there something special about this floor?""I don't really see anything special about it though.""Euk!" Aeri yelped. Everyone turned to look at her, a bit surprised. She put her hand to her shoulder and grabbed something."Tch! I really hate cowards who can't face me up front!"She backhanded the invisible presence and the monster let out a wail with some teeth flying. It then faded into reality, revealing a beast nearly as big as Aeri. It was hiding itself behind its massive bat-like wings."Oi! Aren't you even going to reveal yourself?"Aeri snarled at the creature. It responded by extending its wings and revealing itse
'Oh ok… I just evolved. I'm guessing it means this isn't one of those time loops. Thank goodness. Hmm, which means I should have no problem if I just break free right now.'I tried to use my inhumane strength, but my case wasn't budging, so I used [Feather Ignition] then,BOOM!!The shell broke and I was shot out like a rocket. Although, feeling a bit distorted, I spread my wings then flapped hard to get some balance. With [Mana Perception], I checked out my body from a bird's eye view. Yes, I am still going with that joke!I had grown a bit bigger now and had some horns growing out of my head. My feathers were now a mix of golden with dark patches and light purple feather tips. There was a tiny orb on my breast area and on my head two vermillion red antennae rested. I would explore my body later. At the moment, I was surprised by the sight before me.The girls were facing some lion-goat-lizard-bat-hybrid."A chimera!?"The beast was about to slash Aeri's arm, however a black monster
[You have received 50 Status points] [Current unused status points... 450 Status Points] This may have looked like bad choice, but I shoved 150 points into magic power and 300 into mana. It wouldn’t be bad to major in magic instead of physical stuff like sword techniques or what-not. I looked at the girls then sat up. We couldn't spend the entire time doing nothing. It had already been a day since we entered and I wanted to leave and explore Larm. I still hadn't explored the West and doing so would take some days apparently. I wondered what the others were doing. [You have received 1x Loot Chest for Killing the >] 'Oouu, a loot chest? Let's see.' I opened it. [You have received 1x Chimera Hard Claw] 'Huh? A chimera claw? What am I using this for though? I'll just put this here for later when I find some use for it.' I shoved it into my item box. ‘Ok, guys. Let's go.’ "Already?" Aeri complained. ‘Of course already! It's already been an hour since we killed t
[The servant Ulva has lost 500HP]'Ah!'Kawaii, completely enraged was covered in a faint red aura and jumped at the death knight as well. The undead tried to swing at her, but she avoided the attack easily and activated [Sword Skill: Blossoming Petals], but was met with a frozen wall. Still, the slime wasted no time in activating her new [Twin Fold Corrosion Slash] on it. She just managed to scratch its armor though. The naginata came rushing for her neck quickly. She tried to parry the attack away, but the skeleton dug her into the ground with one strike.[Kawaii has lost 100HP]"[Battle God Fighting Technique: Wicked Front]!"Aeri came in from above, delivering a monstrous punch that shook the entire ice cave. Spider web cracks formed at the site of her attack, but her arm began to shake. I noticed her sweating and struggling, then the gears in her gloves began to rotate and sent a second, more disastrous attack to the skeleton.Aeri backed up, but the monster was still standing th
