"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
"Lady Hinotori?"I turned to Kara. She seemed alright, so I offered my hand to her, then helped her up."Ah! Y-you have a-""Yes, I have a johnny. Now get up and let's go.""S-sorry.""Before we go though, I'm really hungry right now."I grabbed the litch and the two-skulled knight's bones and began eating.[You have acquired 200XP][You have acquired the skill [Ice Magic: Ice Soldiers]][You have acquired the skill [Ice Magic: Ice Shards]][You have acquired the skill [Ice Magic: Ice Berg][You have acquired the skill [Dark Magic: Black Mass]][You have acquired the skill [Ice Magic: Ice Field]][You have acquired the skill [Soul Orb]][You have acquired the skill [Intimidating Aura]][You have acquired the skill [Aura Absorption]][You have acquired the skill [Unfazed]]'OI!

New Empire, Taira Clan MansionA man with silky blonde hair and a robust physique covered up by loose robes sat on a lap, being fanned by women all in night gowns. There were easily over ten women surrounding him, attending to him in some way. Some fed him the grapes he loved more than anything, some were giving him massages all around, others played harps in perfect harmony, some danced around for his pleasure and one of them just kept on whispering into his ears. However there was one woman who sat at the far end, looking at the man with a bored expression.The woman… teenager wore a very soft linen cloth, and was covered in all sorts of jewelries around her neck and with a tiny tiara on her head."Don't you ever get bored of this, father?"The silver haired girl asked with a bored glare."Bored of what?"He asked right before taking a grape from one of the women."Making me sit here and watching you play around with your concubines?""Eh? T-this is father-daughter bonding time.""M
"Sotomura Clan! You have been invited for the Eld-""Shut it, would ya?""Eek!" "Tch. Why are we being asked this!? It's not like we have a choice. Is she not attending this event?""Maybe it's their way of showing mercy?""Hmmm, this emperor of ours… so useless.""So, we are attending then?""Yes, yes. Now tell them to shut up and never come here again. I'm about to revolutionize this world with my ancestors knowledge and my godly foresight!""Ye-yes Grand Sage."***The little black dragon shot off a ball of fire at a dummy, burning the strawman."How was that, Mr. Sotomura?"Shiro asked after picking up Karma. She carried the creature by hugging it from the back, considering it had grown bigger than it was a month ago. So much so that she couldn't even put it on her shoulders anymore.The big scientist walked over, checking Karma out."Karma is growing at a splendid rate."Sotomura said while jotting down some notes."Hmm, I gue
