My Journey: The Reason Why I Will Live

Varakiel:ouch no wonder i can't move my body...welp let's stay here for a bit then...jaja i almost died by my own technique....i have to be more careful the next time...

Luka:ah everyone is here!....big brother!!!

luka after dealing with the mantis girl looked back for everyone and then he noticed varakiel.

Gnome who was with luka, noticed varakiel situation too.

Gnome:.....

gnome then materialzed and ran towards varakiel.

*kanasimi 2*

Gnome:don't die please...

Gnome then started to cry....

Tamamo:oh...

Alice:....idiot

Granberia:....a true idiot.

Nibi:gnommy....

Luka:big brother are you okay!?

Undine then appeared too...

Undine:don't worry luka he is alive....yet....varakiel you are an idiot.

Varakiel:yeah i know....gnome....i'm sorry....i didn't mean to make you cry...forgive me.

Varakiel then got near gnome.

Gnome:please i don't want you to die, you're my friend.

Varakiel then hugs gnome.

Varakiel:....i know i swear i won't do this kind of thing again without being ready....so please don't cry i'll be fine this wounds will heal by themselves.

Gnome:you promise?....

Varakiel:i promise.....

3805/12650

19900-/10150

Varakiel:(....how much is the mp consumption of serene mind level 4 lily?)

Lily:(it is 10000 mp for each minute.)

Varakiel:(if it wasn't for guts i wouldn't be alive....i need to be more careful when testing technique's like these from now on or find a way to test them out safely, or either gnome will cry again....)

Serene Mind Stage 3:Focus all your senses on your foe, and show him the might of water.

The user will enter a state, of total focus on his objective all his sense would be aimed solely to his foe rendering it vulnerable to any attack. Uses 2000Mp per minute.

Serene Mind Stage 4:Expand your Senses on a limited field, becoming a ravaging and impenetrable wall, the user will extend his senses on a ball of water, anything than touches said ball would be ravished in an instant. 10000 MP each minute.

Luka:can you explain me what happend big brother!? Did someone attacked you!?

*comi1*

Varakiel:jeje it makes me shy to admit it to you luka, but ehmmm i got hurt by my own technique.

Luka:ehhhh!!? can kind of technique can do something like this to you big brother!?

Varakiel:well you see it was like this...

Then varakiel explained to luka and gnome what kind of technique he used and the reason he got almost killed by himself.

Luka:ehhh!? It used all your magic power that fast!?

Gnome:...

Gnome was surprised as well even her strongest attack doesn't take that much magic power.

Varakiel:mhm but i am ok, i just need to heal myself...

varakiel then tries to use meditation.

Lily:(the host is unable to use meditation due to overcharge of MP: time until your Mp goes to be usable again : 7 hour.)

Varakiel:.....woops looks like i can't for now.

Tamamo:seems like he suffered a overcharge of magic power.

Alice:overcharge of magic power?

Granberia:what is that? i never hear of it

Tamamo:it only happens to humans, a overcharge of magic power is when a human body can't use more magic power so then the toll of the spell goes directly to their body.

Alice:i see so that technique of his depleted all of his magic power reserves.

Granberia:it seems like is the first time it happens to him i wonder how much magic power he used on that to get in that state directly.

Varakiel:indeed is the first time it happens to me....alright guys we should move on we can't waste time because of me.

Luka:a-are you sure big brother?.

Varakiel:is okay look my wounds had been healed already.

Varakiel then showed up all his body to everyone.

Granberia:what kind of regeneration is that, ugh.

Alice:i don't care anymore about this idiot abilities at this point.

Tamamo:oh nice healing factor you got varakiel.

then everyone kept on their way to the gold region.

Luka:i wonder what i did wrong when i used undine's power.

Alice:the way you're using the power is flawed, .unlike the earth, the power of water reflects what's in your heart. The wind fills your movements, the earth fills your body, the water fill your heart, and fire fills your spirit. 

Luka:like what heinrich said, isn't it? The water fills your heart....

Alice:you need to train more your spirit and get more experience with your blade, you can't call yourself a hero yet.

Luka:train my spirit....i will do my best!

With renovated determination and varakiel healed of his overcharge and completely healed everyone are almost out of the forest....

Luka:whew...finally we are out of the that forest.

Varakiel:the sun is almost set we should look for a place to camp...

as varakiel took a look for a good camping spot, a monster jump on luka!

Scylla appears!

Scylla: hehe....it's dangerous for cute little boys like you to be out here at this time. Scaaary girls will come up to you and wrap you in their tentacles, you know?

Luka:a scylla....i need to be careful with her tentacles....alright here i go!.

Meanwhile with everyone else.

Tamamo was lecturing varakiel about what he did before.

Tamamo:alright mr idiot , if i remember i did tell you, if you hurt gnome on some way i will punish you isn't?.

Varakiel:ugh...yes you did

Alice:what you were thinking idiot, next time you do something like that i will beat you up.

Granberia:i will not say a lot since you didn't know the risk of such technique but next time you do something like that i will end you, understood?

Nibi:yes if you do something like that again, ill force you to teach me how to cook all day!.

Tamamo:alright, since you didn't know what would happen i will let you go with a small punishment....you will spent all the night with gnome together understood~?

Varakiel:....alright is the least thing i can do...

Tamamo:good~!.....but i must say....that was impressive~, your talent to create such technique is indeed great~. Just don't do that kind of thing again, okay?.

Varakiel:....yes...i'll be more careful next time.

Alice:alright idiot, it was impressive and all but you better compensete my worry with a feast tonight understood?.

Granberia:and you will train with me more often you heard?

Undine:(fufu, it seems they care about you in their own way i guess, you will compensate me later too right?.)

Gnome:...

gnome just stared varakiel silently.

Varakiel:okay, fine i'll do whatever you want me to.

Tamamo:that's good~.

Alice:so a feast tonight, understood.

Varakiel:yes, yes i get it.

Alice:~.

Like a girl getting the candy she wanted alice smiled.

Granberia:you better found a solution to that , though, i want to learn it too after all.

Varakiel:don't worry after i am sure is safe to use i will teach it to you too, we can't let it go to waste after all.

Granberia:mhm, well said.

Nibi:everyone luka is done with the scylla!

Scylla:i.....it can't be...!

the scylla turns into an octopus!

Scylla was defeated!

Luka earned 16000 Experience points!

Luka is now level 21!

Luka:whew, she was strong, is like big brother said as we get closer to hellgondo the monsters we found are stronger, without gnome they would easily bind me down.

Alice:are you done?, good, let's make camp now.

Luka:alright(she is really predictable....well.)

then everyone set up the camp.

As promised varakiel did a feast.

 Alice:delicious as ever.

Tamamo:mhm.

Nibi:i-i can't eat more.

Luka:me too.

Granberia:alright i'll leave then.

Granberia then left to train as usual, almost , this time she told everyone where she was going.

Varakiel:(it seems she is opening up , even if it just a little, is good.)

Tamamo:then as your punishment you will be all night with gnome, understood~? You can't talk to anyone else besides gnome, get it.

Varakiel:yeah i got it.

Tamamo:good~. Then little one come with me.

Nibi:okay!.

Alice:alright fake hero, you'll come with me.

Luka:e-eh? Okay.

Then nibi left with tamamo and luka with alice.

Undine:(i will go with granberia, i want to know if she has visited salamander, and how is she doing.)

Varakiel:(okay, have fun then.)

Undine:(....you better make gnome feel better or either if salamander know's than you are the reason she is like that, she would beat you up badly.)

Varakiel:(not worry i will.)

and so undine left to granberia.

Then the only ones left in the camp were gnome and varakiel....

Gnome:....

Gnome then appeared and sat on varakiel lap.

Varakiel:....gnome?.

Gnome:...

gnome just looked up to see varakiel.

Gnome:.....?

Varakiel:...is nothing.....

Gnome just tilted her head in confusion.

So varakiel and gnome stay like that for almost 30 minutes, until varakiel spoke to her again.

Varakiel:gnome?.

Gnome like before looked at varakiel.

*Hutuu 2*

Varakiel:im sorry for making you cry.

Gnome:.....

gnome just continue to stare at varakiel.

Varakiel:you might have realized than i am someone who does crazy things regularly, and some of those things can hurt me badly like before, but yet i should have realized than seeing me like that would hurt you too....i'm sorry.

Gnome:.....

Gnome suddenly turned to face varakiel and suddenly hugged him.

Gnome:....just don't die, idiot...

Varakiel:....gnome....alright, i won't die, i promise you this, we will be together forever, is that good enough?.

Gnome:.....

gnome then nodded.

Varakiel:then you forgive me?

Gnome:...

gnome then denied with her head.

*ero1*

Suddenly several mud dolls came from the floor..and grabbed varakiel.

Varakiel:eh? Gnome?.

Gnome:.....

gnome just took off her clothes.

Varakiel surprised looked around until she noticed tamamo with mischievous smile.

.....

Tamamo:hahaha~ have fun tonight~.

That's what that smile told to varakiel.

Varakiel:(she is truly a vixen in all rule....well there is nothing else i can do, i can say no to gnome now.)

....

Varakiel:are you sure about this gnome?

Gnome:.....

gnome slighly blushing nodded.

Varakiel: alright then i am all yours tonight.

And so gnome and varakiel had fun

as for alice and luka she trained him to use serene mind and taught him a new skill....[Lightning sword flash].

Alice:this skill is almost like the one varakiel created but his is more powerful but probably cost more SP, this one is better than thunder thrust but cost the same SP.

Luka:i see, thank you alice.

Alice:mhm, you two are making your best efforts , so i might as well reward you a little for them....

...

Granberia:undine?....why are you looking for me?.

Undine:....well gnome and varakiel need time alone together and i though of coming to ask you about salamander, ..... is she doing well?.

Granberia:....yes, she has been okay.

Undine:...good to hear it.

.....

Tamamo:hahaha, maybe the next time we should join them~.

Nibi:yes lady tamamo!.

The next day in the morning after gnome had fun with varakiel all night....

everyone was having breakfast.

Alice:seems someone had fun tonight.

Granberia:hmph, pervert.

Tamamo:c'mon leave him be, you can have fun with him eventually too, hahaha~.

Nibi:so that's how a spirit does it... i will take notes.

Luka:hey stop it already!.

Varakiel: is okay, but now she is more attach to me than before....by a lot.

As varakiel said that he took a spoon and dragged it to gnome who was sitting on his lap.

Gnome:.....

gnome was there smiling like a child.

Undine:(....at least she is not sad anymore....but this can become a problem in the future...)

Varakiel:(how so?.)

Undine:(if she is like this from now on she would't want to leave when your quest is eventually over...)

Gnome:(...)

Varakiel:(...then let her stay with me forever...i wouldn't mind having all of you by my side forever...)

Gnome:(...!!)

Undine:(....fine do whatever you want....)

Luka:oh yeah big brother alice though me a new skill yesterday.

Varakiel:really? Mmmm....that's good, thank you alice.

Alice:less thanks and more food.

Varakiel:i get it, i get it.

And so everyone had a cheerful breakfast.

And so everyone continued to grangold volcano, if its possible they would take a stop at grangold castle for supplies.

Varakiel: i was thinking of going directly to the volcano but with the feast of yesterday we run out of supplies and teleporting back and buying more would be a waste of time, so we will stop at grangold castle.

Luka:alright!.

Alice:and why you didn't bought a lot more before?.

Varakiel:because is not healthy to eat the same meals everyday!.

Granberia:why not isn't food all the same?.

Varakiel:you won't get it...

tamamo:exactly you can't compare tofu and thin fried tofu.

Varakiel:that not what i mea- you know what? forget it, yeah like that.

Nibi:i don't get it both are delicious.

As everyone we're walking through the plains with their new destination in sight...

a monster stand in their way!.

Medusa appears!.

Varakiel:this is a rather peaceful monster, luka, talk with her, you should learn to deal with monsters you aren't acquaintance too.

Varakiel said that to luka.

Luka:(is she? i can do it...)

Luka:her hair is made up of snakes...they look very cute, though...

with luka compliment the snakes on the medusa head were hissing happily and retracted back...

Medusa:eh? You think my hair is cute?

Luka:e-emmm yes i think it looks cute...

Medusa:hehe, usually humans don't compliment my hair because they think is weird....hehe, well i won't stop you more travellers, be careful!, some monsters in this region are pretty dangerous.

Varakiel:take care, and thank you for your warning.

Not saying anything more, the medusa happily than someone complimented her hair today, waved her hand and walked of in another direction.

Luka:i-i did it big brother!.

Varakiel:good job luka, but the real challenge are those you can't reason with be prepared okay?.

Luka:yes!

Alice:mmh, at least you didn't say something stupid like her hair was weird or something or she would turn you into stone.

Luka:s-stone? She was that dangerous? B-but her hair really looked cute and kinda beautiful too.

Tamamo:oh my, i didn't know you taugh him how to seduce monsters too varakiel, hahaha~

Varakiel: i didn't taught him he is a natural, hahaha.

Tamamo:oh i see, hahaha~.

Granberia:hmph, if he were to attack her for that reason i would beat him up myself.

Nibi:good job luka!.

Luka:hehe, thanks nibi.

With the medusa dealt peacefully everyone made their way to grangold castle.

Luka:is that grangold?

Varakiel:mhm.....

Luka:it's said that monsters and humans live there in harmony i wonder if its true.

Varakiel:lets check it out first then.

Alice:mmmm...i'll be the judge of that, i wonder what they eat there...i can't wait!

Varakiel:so granberia you are coming with us?

Granberia:i guess i can...

Tamamo:and since i have that ring of yours i can move by myself without being recognized, finally i can move without being a ball.

Varakiel:alright then let's move after we done here, we go directly to salamander on the volcano.

Luka:let's go then!.

Then everyone approaches to grangold castle.

A huge monster blocks the path!.

Golem Girl appears!

Luka:eh!?

Varakiel:ohh! A golem and this big?

Golem Girl:WARNING. NO AUTHORITY TO PASS. RETURN.

Luka:wha....she's huge!! her arm is bigger than my entire body..but what's a huge monster like her doing right next to the castle?

Varakiel:come back luka.

Luka:eh? Alright.

Then luka turned back.

Varakiel:if you wonder what she's doing, well she is protecting the castle.

Alice:hmmm....i don't recognize this monster.

Tamamo:neither i'm....

Granberia:a new species perhaps?

Varakiel:none of that, this one was created by humans.

Alice:c-created?

Varakiel:yep, you would be surprised what alchemy and science can achieve.

Tamamo:i see alchemy and science.....

Granberia:but yet humans created something this big?, i must say is a little impressive coming from them.

Nibi:wah! Is so big i wonder how far i would be able to watch from up there!.

Varakiel:alright let a guard from the city come.

Golem Girl:INTRUDER RETREATED. SETTING BACK TO GUARD MODE.

After a bit two guards come from the castle.

Soldier A: identify yourself !.

Varakiel:i am an adventurer called varakiel and this is my little brother luka we are from ilias village, me and my companions request to enter the castle.

Varakiel said with a domineering tone.

Soldier A: oh? Are you perhaps the hero varakiel and the apprentice luka the ones who stopped the bomb of ilias kreuz in port natalia?

Varakiel:Affirmative.

Soldier A:oh!!please give us a minute to give sir varakiel and your companions authorization.

Varakiel:Alright but not take much of my time i can't waste much of it here.

Soldier A: Understood Sir!.

Tamamo:oh ho? So thats him talking to other humans? full of authority, hehe~

Alice:hmm...it seems that way and it saved us a lot of trouble.

Granberia:heh, that's how a warrior should be sadly the only one i know than is a human is him.

Nibi:wah! Varakiel can i climb her later, please?

Then varakiel responded on a softer way to nibi.

Varakiel:wait for them to give us authority and later you can climb it, okay?.

Nibi:okay!.

Tamamo:but yet he is so soft with us, hahaha~.

Alice:i prefer it that way, it would be annoying if he talked me that way.

Granberia:indeed.

Then everyone waited for at least 30 minutes before someone in a more decorated armor came to them.

Captain:i am the captain of the guards on grangold, is a honor to have you here Sir varakiel and luka.

Varakiel:Mhm, can we get in already i don't have much time i have Very Important matters to attend to.

Undine:(oh? Is salamander very important?.)

Varakiel:(all of you are very important....well , sylph is an expection...)

Undine:(...yeah you're right.)

Captain:Yes, sir varakiel you and your companions has been authorized to get in.

Varakiel:good, then we're going in.

And so everyone got in grangold castle...

.....

Captain:wait....wasn't that the heavenly knight granberia?.....No it can't be someone as powerful has her wouldn't be travelling with a hero.

As everyone got in varakiel started to look for all kind of shops to find all kinds of supplies from ingredients to cleaning items like soap, etc.

Grandgold castle looked like a normal town...but there are monsters freely walking through the streets.

Ant type monsters and earth type monsters we'ere busily working and moving.

An ant monster suddenly walks up next to luka.

Luka:eh?

Ant Girl:I SHALL CARRY LUGGAGE.

Luka stares at the ant girl in surprise by the sudden declaration.

Luka:who is she...?

a soldier suddenly come up from somewhere

Soldier:she's an ant girl that lives with us in grangold. They're controlled by magic, and are made useful for humans. Let her carry your luggage.

Tamamo:...

Alice:...

Granberia:.....

Nibi:...

Varakiel suddenly whispered to them.

Varakiel: calm down girls don't cause a ruckus now, i'll get you some answers okay?.

Tamamo:okay....

Alice:hmph...

Granberia:now i want to destroy this place...

Nibi:awawah.

Varakiel:don't do something drastic for now, okay? If you do something now without proofs you would worsen the relationship between humans and monsters.

Alice:i hate than you're right.

Granberia:fine.

Granberia silently sheated her blade back.

Varakiel:alright we'll give her our luggage.

Varakiel then handed over an empty back pack, usually everything is in his inventory so that bag is only for appearance.

Ant Girl:LUGGAGE RECEIVED.

Soldier:Sir Varakiel, would you please have an audience with the king?

Luka:eh!? With the king? Why? We did something bad?

Soldier:hahaha, not at all. He's always goofing off and ignoring his duties.Recently, he has taken a fancy to listening to stories of travelers. I'm sure a strong group like yours would have quite the interesting tales to share with him.

Luka:but we're not here to play around....

Varakiel:alright we will have an audience with your king.

Luka:eh? Big brother?

Soldier: right then, follow me to the castle!.

Tamamo:varakiel? What are you doing?.

Varakiel:the best way to understand what's going on is with the one who gives the orders.

Alice:i see...then let's go.

Granberia silently follows.

Varakiel:(hehe, granberia is so pissed off than if it wasn't for me and the coexistance between humans and monsters she would have already razed this town.)

Undine:(...indeed, i can even feel her anger from here.)

undine said surprised, someone like granberia would have already destroyed a building or two and this moment.

Then everyone follow the soldier.

Then everyone and the soldier continue walking and the ant girl follows behind them like a servant.

Luka:those ant girls are awfully hard workers, aren't they?

Soldier:yes, that's right. In this town, humans leave almost all the work to the ant girls.

Luka then looks down on to the waterway, and sees a large monster, made of mud.

Luka:who's that...?

Soldier:a man made monster made with magic science, a mud golem girl. Those mud golems and the ant girls are the labor force of this town.

Luka:i see....

as luka sees the hard working monster with admiration, he makes a angry face for just a little bit, noticing it, he takes it away, meanwhile everyone is led into the castle.

Then Varakiel and luka get in the throne room meanwhile everyone else waits outside of the castle....well almost everyone, tamamo turned into a ball again and varakiel hide her in his clothes like usual.

Grangold King:i see, you were the traveler than stopped the ilias kreuz member and saved the school of port natalia...to act that quickly you're amazing.

The aura than the king exudes is one of exuberance and kindness, something than makes luka think of him as unreliable...

The powerful presence from erubetie the queen slime or alice the monster lord, he doesn't feel anything like that from this king.

Grangold king:i want to hear stories of your adventures. Heart pounding, blood pumping stories of adventurers and heroics!

Varakiel while omitting anything related to monsters, he starts talking about his adventures. While the king listens carefully.

Tamamo:varakiel what are you doing?.

Varakiel:just listen, you will understand eventually.

Tamamo:alright, if you say so.

Suddenly an ant girl come into the throne room

Ant Girl:EXCUSE ME, KING.

Grangold King: do you need something? I'm with a guest at the moment, so i'd prefer it if you left....

Ant Girl:IT IS ABOUT THIS YEAR BUILDING CONTROL REPORT.

Grangold king:...ah, yeah. I'll leave that all up to you.

Ant Girl:ALSO THE PROBLEM ABOUT THE DELAY IN MATERIALS IN THE BLACKSMITH DISTRICT.

Grangold king:....ah, yeah. I leave that up to you, too. Please do whatever you think is best.

Ant girl:....CONFIRMED. EXCUSE ME.

The Ant Girl leaves the room.

Grangold King:ah that was embarrassing. In truth, i leave all of the government affairs to the ant girls.

Thanks to them, i have all the free time i want. Hahaha.

Varakiel whispered under his breath.

Varakiel:i want to punch this guy.

Tamamo:good idea, me too.

Luka:i...i see, your highness....(this is making me really uneasy.)

Grangold king: you saw it, didn't you? The way humans and monsters live together here?

Luka:..Y...Yeah...

Grangold king: thanks to the monsters, no humans have to do any manual labor anymore. That's why we're known all over as the place where humans and monster live together in peace.

Saying that, the grangold king laughs happily.

Then Varakiel and luka left the castle.

Tamamo:ugh, this is not peace no one bit.

Varakiel:i know, this king is useless.

Luka:uhhhh..so it's like that.

Alice:hmph...this isn't coexistance. The humans are just forcing all the work they don't want to do on the monsters.

Luka:yeah i can see that.

Alice:ant girls generally follow a leader and act as a group, but using them like this is abuse.

Alice watches an ant girl carrying some heavy boxes through the street, as a few human citizens joke with each other as they watch.

Heading the opposite side is another mud golem girl carrying a bunch of bricks.

Alice:in addition, man made monsters...the magic science used here has advance quite far....but knowing the truth now i can't admire it one bit. They leave everything to the monsters, and live a life of comfort and ease....

Luka:and i was so excited to come here, ugh.

Varakiel:alright we will take a look for more supplies and then get to salamander, i can't stand this place anymore.

Tamamo:yes please this place makes me sick.

Granberia:it make's me angry.

Luka then asked to the town folk for any kind of information of the surrounding.

Old man:even though there are a lot of monsters here, ilias kreuz can't do anything

outside is the golem girl, and inside are the ant girls. They wouldn't dare commit terrorism here.

Luka:but people who hate monsters wouldn't hate this town too?

Old man: there are no people here who hate monsters. All of the moved to the north, to gold port.

Thanks to that, it became the central place for those who hate monsters, though.

Luka:gold port, eh?

Old man: the northermost port on this continent. It's also the headquarters of ilias kreuz...

there are a bunch of thugs and bullies there, in addition to the monster haters. Good folk would do well to stay away from there.

Luka:alright...thank you for the information sir.

Old woman: a little bit west of here is [succubus village] i came from there.

Luka:ehh!? T-then...you're a succubus!?

Old woman:Fool! I'm a human.

Luka:..ah...of course...

luka grab his chest and breathe a sigh of relief.

Old woman:it's often misunderstood, but [succubus village] doesn't have any succubi living there. All of the residents are normal humans.

Luka:eh? Then why do they call it [succubus village]?

Old woman:that's because...every 100 years, a group of succubi attack the village. I don't know why, but they're pretty punctual with their attacks.

Luka:every 100 years? Big brother you know about this?.

Varakiel:hmmm....if i remember the next attack should be around 2 months later or something

Luka:eh!? That soon?

Tamamo:attack? More like feast, hahaha~

Varakiel:actually, hahaha.

Alice:pervert.

Granberia:pervert.

Alice:and the purple moon is this year?....

Luka:purple moon?

Alice:do i have to always explain the things i say? Geez. When it's a full moon, erotic type monsters have powerful magic and fertility. That night is called the purple sabbath...that is, it's the best breeding time for succubi. They come together as a group and begin their....activities.

Varakiel:more like parties, hahaha.

Tamamo: good one, hahaha~

Alice:can both of you please shut up!?

Old woman:my word! Young lady, you are quite knowledgeable! Even someone who lived in the village like me didn't know that! And is like the young man said before the next purple sabbath it's 2 months from now. That's why i've come here to seek shelter. I'm worried for those that are still in the village...

Luka:but i guess two months is plenty of time yet, but we need to go there when is time or the remaining villagers would be attacked by the succubi!

Alice:hmph. Are you sure you are going there to save the villagers?

Alice said with a mischievous smile.

Luka:s-shut up, no, i'm going to save them!

Varakiel:haha yeah sure you would luka, hahaha.

Luka:big brother not you too!.

Varakiel:sorry couldn't help myself

....

???:oh my but if isn't its my world travelling darling!.

Varakiel:why, why did i forget about her.....

Unfortunate lamia appears!

Varakiel:ugh, what is it amira

Amira:the reason i appeared before you is my love for you of course!. Love~! *Censored* love~! My hot, steamy *censored* love song~!

Varakiel:stop it , and i don't want to know what was censored in that "song" not even for absolute power.

Amira:i'd take a bow like a singer should, but it would be quite difficult for me , as you can see.

Varakiel:then don't sing in the first place...what do you want, i am in a hurry right now.

Amira:my information is free of charge for you my love, you want information about salamander, why yes?

Varakiel:no, i don't need it i already know where is she so leave us alone now, if you excuse me i am leaving!.

Varakiel then run off while carrying everyone.

Luka:ahhhhh!

Nibi:weeeee!! faster!!

Tamamo:who would though you would run away from someone like her....can't blame you i would do it too~.

Alice:i can walk by myself you idio- hey watch out with the wall!

Granberia:oh? So this is how strong are your arms right now, very firm.

Granberia just touched varakiel arms while he was running away.

Varakiel then jumped grandgold wall.

Varakiel:alright everyone let's keep going!.

Tamamo:such change of phase, but it was fun let's go then!.

Nibi:yay! To salamander!.

Alice:do that again and i will send you up directly to space!.

Granberia:move on already.

Granberia seemed oddly excited to go for salamander.

Varakiel:Maybe she just miss her.

Undine:(or maybe she wants to learn another crazy technique than you create from salamander....)

Varakiel:(true, hey you two have been very quiet, well more than the usual.)

Undine:(is nothing is just than i want to enjoy the peace and quiet until sylph is with us.)

Gnome:(....)

gnome nodded several times.

Varakiel:alright lets move on!.

Tamamo: say varakiel why didn't you anything about the ant's situation in the castle, you know where the ant queen is, right?.

Varakiel:mhm i do, but there is no need let's see if my memory doesn't fail me one week before the purple sabath starts the ant queen would escape and attack the city.

Granberia:so you will deal with it when the time comes or something?.

Granberia said angry.

Varakiel: i won't, luka will do it.

Luka:eh!? M-me?....okay i will be ready for that moment.

Varakiel:actually a lot of things would happen 2 months later we are saving a lot of time because i can use teleportation.

Alice:now than i think about it what would be your objective after getting the sprits?.

Varakiel:the orbs for the garuda girl!.

Tamamo:i see that makes sense since there's no way to hellgondo now.

Luka:eh? No way to hell gondo what do you mean?.

Tamamo:well the entrance to it was destroyed, so only monsters like us than can teleport can go in and out, and the ones who can fly great distances like the garuda girl would help you only.

Luka:i see, so the plan of going on boat is no good then.

Varakiel:i actually i have a orb with me already, it was the only one in ilias continent.

Tamamo:eh? Already?

Granberia:tch, is so annoying than someone knows the future so well.

Varakiel:yeah, but i forget somethings too, for example i don't remember what exactly happens in a village called lady's village the only thing i remember the leader there is a woman called cassandra.

Alice eyes snap open.

Varakiel:oh seems than you know something, is a bad thing i forget the details of it, i just remember that woman called cassandra and than the adventurers going there have never come back.

Undine:(liar, you didn't forget it.)

Varakiel:(i was found out, hehe, i just don't want to change that future the one living there is a monster in all rule she is willing to devour her own child to get more power, and she would even dare to beg for her life to alice when she is about to kill her.)

Undine:(i see, a monster who kills his offspring without doubt?, hmph.)

Gnome:....

Varakiel:anyway let things follow their course we are ahead of time in everything, first we find salamander and....sylph. then the orbs and if it's possible we will solve those "side quests" later.

Luka:understood!

Tamamo:that's right even if you know the future there no point on changing things than are already okay.

It was already nighttime and everyone was doing their own things already. Alice was helping luka to control the flow of water.

Granberia was away training, tamamo was right to the bonefire relaxing and nibi was practicing her techniques.

Varakiel:alright well should be able to arrive with salamander by tomorrow.

Undine:(ummmm salamander.....i guess it would be okay to travel with her again.)

Gnome:(.....)

gnome nodded to undine.

Varakiel:.....(now than i think about it undine you'll be okay tomorrow?)

Undine:(don't remind me, i can already feel the heat and we aren't even there...)

Varakiel:(hang on there undine, or you would have prefered sylph?)

Undine:(...just make it quick)

Varakiel:...(haha, don't worry when we are done we will have be in port natalia you can rest near the sea there.)

Undine:(.....fuuuuuu, fine i'll endure, but you will debt me one for making me go through this.)

Varakiel:(alright, alright, whatever you want would be, is that it?.)

Undine:(...i wasn't going to say that but okay.)

undine then left varakiel body.

Undine:...hot...so hot...i hate this region.

Varakiel:haha, try to see it on salamander perspective if she was the first i pick and i go for you she would be freezed.

Undine:.....i guess you're right.

....

Gnome:.....

Varakiel:oh? What is it gnome?, something on your mind?

gnome was looking at varakiel directly

Varakiel:ah!, perhaps are you happy to see salamander again?

Gnome:.....

Gnome nods her head.

Varakiel: that's good, i have several ideas to use your power together with salamander so let's give our best efforts as always, okay?

Gnome:....

Gnome with sparkling eyes was excited varakiel seemed than had other ways like before to use her earth and salamander fire.

Gnome:........

gnome suddenly pulled varakiel clothes.

Varakiel:hm?

Gnome was directly looking at varakiel on his eyes.

Varakiel:oh?, is perhaps than you are worried than something like serene mind stage 4 would happen?.

Gnome:...

gnome nods her head.

Varakiel:hehe, don't worry gnome....

varakiel then pets gnome head.

Varakiel: i promised you than i won't do such a thing without being prepared, not worry, besides the ideas i have are not as strong as serene mind stage 4 that one was a lucky find i had on that moment.

Gnome:.......

gnome nods her head and sits on varakiel's lap.

Varakiel:alright, you can stay there tonight too...

Varakiel just pets her head calmly.

Gnome:...

gnome just closed her eyes and enjoyed being caressed by varakiel.

.....

Alice:where is she ...WHERE IS SHE?

Alice grabs varakiel and shakes him vigorously.

Varakiel:wo-ah? What is it alice?

Alice:that idiot kitsune's the matter! I nearly choked on my food from all the hair she's shed!

Have you seen her?

Varakiel:nope

Varakiel looks off to the side, he sees nibi hiding in a bush, giggling silently as if she planned it or something.

Varakiel:what did i tell you about spoiling food nibi?you better deliver yourself to her and apologize or i will punish you understood?

Nibi's smile quickly disappears.

Nibi:wah!!, i will , i will please don't punish me.

Varakiel:good then come here.

Nibi:uuuuuu....

Nibi listening to varakiel she got near him.

Varakiel:listen okay, how you would feel if she took away the thin fried tofu i made for you?

Nibi:i will feel sad...

Varakiel:exactly, so don't make that kind of thing okay? You can do pranks to her i won't stop you but the food is out of question okay?.

Nibi:okay, i am sorry varakiel....

Varakiel:hehe.

Varakiel pats nibi.

Varakiel:but i am not the one you should apologize.

Nibi:yeah, i'll apologize to her.

Nibi then left to find alice and apologize to her.

Tamamo:hehe, why the sudden lecture to the little one?~.

Varakiel:mmm...you could say to me food is sacred, when i was young and lose my parents i struggled to eat everyday, i had to do all kind of things to have food on my mouth, so i learned to appreciate it....

Tamamo:i see so food is very important to you.

Varakiel:is not just that, is just than when i see all of you smile while enjoying my food makes me happy, hehe, i like to make my family smile and laugh while we enjoy a good meal, that's why i always grant any wim to alice about food, if she is happy with my food so let her be happy.

Tamamo:ugh....so sweet, is not bad though~.

Varakiel:can't help it, thats how i am, haha.

....

Varakiel looked for granberia to watch her train.

Granberia:so now is salamander, i have to admit than i am expecting some crazy technique coming from you.

Varakiel:hmmm, i have ideas yes, but i have been working on a new one, is not complete yet but is not too far still.

Granberia:oh? Really? Show it to me then!.

Like a child waiting for a new toy, granberia said to varakiel.

Varakiel:heh, you really like to fight isn't.....alright even though is not done yet i guess i can show you its essence. But let's go to somewhere else, i don't want to wake up everyone.

Granberia:oh? Is that loud?

Varakiel:maybe, hahaha.

Then varakiel grabbing granberia arm teleported to a random plain in grand noah.

Granberia:oh such open place?

Varakiel:mhm, the technique needs quite the open field to be used, *cof**cof*this technique was created using Demon Decapitation as his base and using the power of water and earth together.

Granberia:it surprise me than you still create such things with such basic technique like demon decapitation.

Varakiel:well of course even though is basic the technique is flawless.

Granberia:that's true....

Varakiel:alright let's start then.....gnome lend me your power!

Varakiel was infused with the mighty power of earth!.

Granberia:.....

Varakiel:Undine lend me your power!.

Varakiel then entered in serene mind level 3.

Varakiel:gnome let's try that one again.

Gnome:...

Gnome nodded.

Suddenly a lump of earth came from the floor directly hitting varakiel, he was launched then to the skies.

Granberia:.....isn't that a bit too high?

Varakiel was so high in the sky than granberia could barely see his siluate. Then has expected he started to fall down!.

Varakiel:ha, we failed again.

Varakiel then teleported down safely.

Granberia:...i think i know what are you trying to do....

Varakiel:oh? Already, has expected of you.

Granberia:but this one has a big flaw.

Varakiel:i know, i am still trying to think about a solution.

Granberia: why you not try to bind your enemy with the power of earth then?.

Varakiel:that would be pretty difficult and unprecise to say the least.

Granberia:how so?.

Varakiel:for example tamamo can escape easily from it, the point of this skill is than it has to always hit it's objective....

Granberia:what about using those mud dolls than gnome use.

Varakiel:Granberia.....you're a genius!, haha i could ask you to marry me right now!.

Granberia:h-hey don't say stupid things idiot and focus.

Varakiel:ah right, okay that would solve the problem of the bind but the other problem is than i lose serene mind whenever i launch myself to the sky.

Granberia:hmmmm....have you ever tried to use serene mind mid fly?

Varakiel:ah.....

Granberia:dumbass....

Varakiel:i honestly didn't think about it, heh.

Varakiel then tried the suggestions granberia gave him.

Varakiel:alright i think that should be okay, now..."When The Earth Rages, Water Follows, I'll become a wave of destruction!" [Tsunami]

Varakiel then binded granberia with the mud dolls, when he was directly sent to the sky by a lump of earth, and he used serene mind while ascending!.

*BOOM*

Varakiel as he fell down a giant cloud of dust came up together with the great roar of the clash....

Varakiel:Finally! After 1 month we finally did it gnome and undine!.

Undine:(....i must say using our powers like this together is good, well done gnome.)

Gnome.(.....)

Gnome felt so proud of achieving something together with varakiel and undine.

[Tsunami] Technique was created

[Tsunami] Deals 2000% Dmg, needs to be in serene mind on mid air, Lv. 1 (100)

When the earth rages, water follows, i will become a wave of destruction!, [Tsunami]

the host is sent high on the sky with the power of earth, then dives like a tsunami with the power of water engulfing everything on his path.

Granberia:well are you done already, or are we gonna fight?.

Granberia feels excited after receiving such a blow, she was craving for a fight now.

Varakiel:i debt you one fight after all, come on!.

Granberia:hehe, here i go then!.

.....

Varakiel is surprised for the grown in Strength of granberia.

Varakiel:haha, granberia seems like we are even in strength again now.

Granberia:hmph, don't fall back now you hear me?...you're the only one than i can fight like this after all.

Granberia said the last part under her breath.

Varakiel:of course i will keep getting stronger and so you will right?.

Granberia:Hmph, you don't have to tell me i will get stronger anyway.

Varakiel:i know i just want to tease you, haha.

Granberia:tch.

Varakiel:alright we should go back

Granberia:fine.

Then varakiel and granberia teleported back to the camp.

Luka:ah big brother welcome back.

Luka greated varakiel all covered in bruises.

Varakiel:haha looks like someone was extra rough today.

Alice:hmph i needed to vent my anger for what that kitsune did.

Luka::b-but why me!?.

Alice:oh shut up i teached you a new technique don't be a baby.

Luka:uuuu, fine.

Varakiel:oh a new technique?

Luka:yeah is called earth rumbling decapitation.

Varakiel:let me guess you use the earth power as you come down.

Luka:yeah big brother how did you guess?.

Varakiel:haha, the new technique i created uses almost the same idea.

Luka:oohh i see, so you were succesfull with your new technique big brother?

Varakiel:you bet, haha, ...well done luka you're getting stronger and your dream closer, keep it up, alright?.

Luka:big brother....yeah i will keep giving my best!.

Varakiel:well said, but now go to sleep already tomorrow you're facing salamander after all.

Luka:okay, good night big brother.

Varakiel:good night, luka, sweet dreams.

Then luka got inside the tent and immediatly felt asleep.

Varakiel:....haha he was that exausted?....

Tamamo:hm? What is it varakiel? You seem oddly quiet.

Varakiel:...alright i have decided.

Tamamo:mh? What did you decide?

Varakiel then got near tamamo and whispered on her ear.

Tamamo:oh?mhmm, aja, oh, varakiel you're so mean, hahaha~!

Varakiel:i am not mean.....i think.

Granberia who was satisfied tonight with her fight with varakiel was sitting near the bonfire with varakiel and tamamo, and alice was too.

Alice:what are you two talking about.

Granberia:probably something not good for anyone.

Varakiel:oh come on, my ideas always sound that bad?

Granberia:they are not bad, they are crazy, always.

Varakiel:....right, tell them tamamo i don't want to luka to hear it or it would ruin it.

Tamamo:hahaha, but you will have fun with me one of this days alright?~

Varakiel:sure, i was wondering when you would ask too.

Alice:pervert.

Granberia:pervert.

Varakiel:don't worry we will have fun together too, hahaha.

Alice:hmph.

Granberia:hmph.

Tamamo:alright....you get what he wants to do?.

Tamamo used telephaty between alice and granberia to tell them what varakiel want's to do.

Alice:oohhh?, and i though i was mean enough.

Granberia:i think salamander would gladly do that.

Varakiel:really? Neat.

Granberia:but don't think i will help you to convince her, do it yourself.

Varakiel:hehehe, i though you would say that....alice.

Alice:hm? What do you want?.

Varakiel:order granberia to help me convince salamander and i will give you one, no two cakes.

Granberia:oi, what are you doing, there is no way she would accept a deal like that.

Alice:make them three and we have a deal.

Varakiel:deal.

Varakiel then took out 3 cakes from his inventory.

Alice:mhm, granberia as the monster lord i order, you will help varakiel on whatever he needs tonight.

Granberia:....bastard.

Tamamo:hahahahaha~!!

Varakiel:alright then let's move on granberia, hahaha.

Granberia:i hate you.

Varakiel used sonic speed to move quickly to the volcano.

Granberia:hmph.

Granberia then teleported to the volcano.

After a while.

Varakiel:oh so this is the volcano where salamander resides, mh?

Undine:(yes it is, but why you had to do something like coming here and this time, i am not even prepared to face this heat.)

Varakiel:(i am not going to fight salamander yet, so you can stay with luka you know?)

Undine:(....really?...ugh better not, if salamander knows i wasn't here tomorrow she would tease me with it for a long time.)

Gnome:(.....)

Varakiel:are you okay with the heat gnome? You can handle it?

Gnome:(.....)

gnome nodded to varakiel.

Varakiel:(good, then lets move on!)

Granberia was waiting for varakiel at the entrance of the volcano.

Granberia: took you long enough.

Varakiel:you know if you were to teleport you should have said so.

Granberia:i am only helping you to convince salamander you can walk by yourself.

Varakiel:just don't say i didn't warn you, hehehe.

Granberia:are you treathening me?

Granberia looked to varakiel with angry eyes.

Varakiel:oh no never, but it might end up sliping the fact than a human defeated you on pleasure skills.

Granberia:grrrrr...

Varakiel:alright, alright, i am just joking , hahaha, is just than you're pretty when you are angry.

Granberia:....p-pretty?.....hmph.

 Granberia slighly blushed by varakiel compliment.

Undine:(oh? What do we have here?....fufu, seems like someone is weak to compliments)

Varakiel:(indeed that's the reason why i can't help but tease her, hahaha.)

Undine:(just don't overdo it or your would get yourself killed....)

Varakiel:alright let's move on.

Granberia:hmph....

then varakiel and granberia got inside and had a chat with salamander...

the next day.....

Varakiel:alright everyone get up the sooner we get salamander the earlier we will be in port natalia.

Alice:great finally we will be away from this heat....

Tamamo:young one wake up, or we will leave you behind~.

Nibi:ah! I am awake i am awake don't leave me behind!.

Luka:let's go then big brother!.

Luka excited, rushed to the volcano leaving behind everyone.

Tamamo:hahaha, he is walking straight up to a hell~.

Granberia:hmph he would only get out alive if he get's into serene mind.

Alice:what did you said to salamander?

Varakiel:simple, we asked her to overwelm luka so he is forced to use serene mind.

Alice:and she agreed just like that?.

Varakiel:of course she did, with granberia's help of course.

Granberia:i told her the boy is worth the try only, is up to him if he lives or not, hmph.

Alice:...you two, why just don't leave him at the door's of death by yourself's?

Varakiel:...now than you said it that wouldn't be a bad idea either....

Granberia:that's true....

Alice: big idiots, both of you.

At the volcano.

Luka:ah...hot...i knew it was going to be like that, but this isn't hot is hot-hot.

Varakiel:mhm, but the one who is taking the worst of it is undine.....

Gnome:(...)

Varakiel:did she melt already?

Gnome:.....

gnome nodded to varakiel.

Luka:eh!? Is undine going to be alright?.

Varakiel:yeah i think so....good thing we are just us or alice would be complaining all the way.

Luka:i think so too....is true than salamander trains those than seek her guidance?

Varakiel:according to granberia she does, but than almost everyone one of them turns away when they get inside the volcano.

Luka:i see.

Varakiel:also she is very powerful so don't hold even a single bit back understood?.

Luka:Understood big brother.

Varakiel:good then lets move quickly i like heat but this is too much.

Luka:alright.

As luka and varakiel advance through the volcano

.....

Lava Girl Appears!.

Lava Girl: it can't be....a human? It has been decades since a human last came here...

Luka:Excuse me lady....i'm looking for salamander. Can you just let us go by, please?

Lava Girl:oh? Lady? not only a small boy but a gentleman too, it's the first time i seen someone like you, let my magma absorb your delicious semen...

Luka:eh...i can't do that i'll burn to death if i touched you....

Lava girl:of course , i'll cool my body down... i wouldn't want to char my food.

Luka:food? Ugh she is one of those.

Luka resoluted prepared with angel halo at hand...

Lava Girl: i....how could i be sealed....?

The Lava Girl turns into a puddle of lava!

Luka Defeated the lava girl

Luka Earned 25000 Experience Points!

26000/50000

Luka:is surprising though, such extreme enviroment like this, and monsters can still exist here...what do you think of that big brother aren't monsters incredible?

Varakiel:indeed, i wonder if we would find a dragon girl, this is the kind of place were you would find a dragon after all.

Luka:eh, a dragon? Fight such legendary being?...

Varakiel:by the way luka, "lady"?, hahah who would have though you are such a gentleman.

Luka:b-big brother you were the one who said i should talk to monster before fighting them!.

Varakiel:yeah i said that, but not try to seduce them, hahaha.

Luka:uuuuu, it really sound like that?

Gnome:(...)

gnome nodded to luka.

Luka:uuuu, how embarasing.

Varakiel:alright enough jokes let's keep moving....

...

Luka:....hot.....i wish i could use the power of water to take away this heat.

Varakiel:then you'll run out of SP to fight for.

Luka:right....

Varakiel:i sense another monster good luck luka.

Luka:another one? Ugh.

Basilisk Appears!

Oh, a human? How rare. I'm gonna enjoy playing with ya....

Luka:A basilisk.....i need to be careful about her petrification...

Basilisk Girl: i'm gonna turn ya into stone, and make a nice toy out of ya.I´ll turn everything but your penis to stone, and rape you. Or....should i petrify your penis too so it won't ever get soft?

Heh, heh....which do ya want?

Luka:Neither of those.

Luka then points his sword at her, ready to fight.

Luka:i have to be careful...i will end this quick.

Basilisk: how could i lose to a kid like that....!?

The Basilisk turns into a chicken!

Basilisk was defeated!

Luka Earned 25000 Experience Points!

Luka is now Level 22!

Luka:ugh so that's how it feels to be turning into stone, not a pleaseant feeling.

As luka breathes in relief. Suddenly, a loud groan shakes his surroundings!

The owner of the voice seems to be farther inside

Luka:is that another monster?

Varakiel:well the monsters here barely see a human since is rare to them to come here. All of them seems to be starving for males.....and it seems that just now was a dragon, who would have though, hahaha good luck luka.

Luka:eh!? Really a dragon!?.....fine i will do this i won't stop here, i have come this far.

Varakiel:well said but the dragon isn't what you should be worried about, hahaha.

Luka:eh? There is something stronger than a dragon here?.

Varakiel:...

Luka:ah right, salamander i forgot.

Varakiel:mhm, if you can't defeat the dragon forget about salamander for now.

Luka:i won't lose.

Varakiel:that the attitude....then let's move on.

...

After walking for a bit. Luka and varakiel found....

Dragon girl Appears.

Luka:uh....it was truly a dragon.....claws that can tear any armor to shreds...flames that can turn all into ash....scales that can deflect any weapon.....if i can't defeat her i would let down big brother trust on me...i wouldn't allow that, i have to win.

Dragon Girl:oh, a human? What a rare prey...

The Dragon girl exudes a great pressure but luka barely feels an inch of it.

Luka:.....

Dragon Girl:hehe..there's no need to be afraid. I won't tear you apart, nor incinerate you, there's no need for me to fight seriously against a tiny being like you. Just come a little closer, so i can lovingly caress you....

Luka:this would be a hard fight but i can win.

After a hard fight with the dragon girl, luka finally defeats her.

Dragon Girl:i....impossible....just who are you...!?

the dragon girl take the form of a giant lizard!

Dragon Girl was defeated!

Luka Earned 30000 Experience Points!

Varakiel:.....just like i though.... Well done luka, or should i call you dragon slayer luka? Hahahaha.

Luka:ahhh, don't, that sounds embarasing.

Varakiel:indeed i doesn't suit your face and body at all, hehehe....are you gonna keep watching or should i make another nickname for him in the meanwhile?

Varakiel suddenly spoke to someone.

Luka:eh who are you talking to big brother?

Luka then moves his view to where varakiel spoke to.

Luka:another monster!?

Varakiel:no.

Radiating magical power all around her, a powerful looking girl appears. 

Luka:are you, salamander? 

Salamander:indeed, i'm the flame spirit salamander. I must say to defeat that dragon with only gnome's power is quite impressive, i am aware than you came seeking my power, but you would need more than that to get it. 

Luka:i been waiting for this, i challenge you salamander.

Salamander:heh, i like that attitude but if you can't cope it up with your strength then those are empty words.

Luka with angel halo at hand was ready.

Varakiel:luka, just a fair warning, salamander is granberia's instructor.

Luka:ehhh!?

Varakiel:mhm, so don't look down on her and give her everything you got, understood?

Luka:yes, i have come this far, i can't lose now.

Salamander:even if you say that, granberia is far more powerful than me already, but it would be good if you hear him.

Luka:okay, here i come!

Luka: Take The breath of the earth into my body...!

the breath of the earth takes hold in luka's body!

Salamander:Can you take this attack though!?

Salamander:good, you use have a good use of earth power, but there still much for you to learn.

Luka:Earth Rumbling Decapitation!.

Salamander takes 2152 Damage

11392/16000

Salamander:hmm, it seems you are capable...

as salamander is thinking of something she takes a look onto varakiel....

Varakiel just nods to her.

Salamander:hehe, i guess is time to go serious...play time is over, let's see if you can handle it.

Suddenly salamander adopted a fighting pose and the power radiating from her got way more stronger than before when she was just trying to make luka come...

Luka:!!.(she is coming to me with her real strength!!)

Luka:Gnome, Infuse me with the unmoving power of the earth!

The unmoving power of the earth takes hold in luka's body!

Salamander:Eat This!

Flames start to run up and down salamander's leg!

She kicks luka!

Luka takes 850 damage!

550/1920.

Luka:ughhh!.

luka was sent flying to a wall!.

Luka:too strong, ughh, i need to meditate.

Luka quietly meditates.

Luka recovers half his health!

1510/1920

Salamander:i though you were better than that, eat this!

Flames start to run up and down salamander's arm! She uppercuts luka!

Luka takes 970 Damage!

Luka:ugh!i can't make it, i will lose...

as luka said that both Varakiel support and alice training flashes through his mind.

Luka:(i need serene mind....)

Luka closes his eyes and entrust his fate to the flow.

As his mind clears, a sense unknown to him start to appear to him.

On luka's view everything went dark the only thing he could see was his foe, salamander....

Luka:th...this....( i can sense the differing "flows" all around me.)

as luka felt the flow of the air....the flow of sound....the flow of power itself....he took it all on him and mixed them on to his heart.

Luka:(so this is how it feels to be one with the flow of the world.)

Salamander:hehe, finally you reach it as expected you have talent.

While saying that salamander rushed to luka to make another uppercut!.

But luka easily dodge's to the side, avoiding the attack.

Varakiel:(luka has finally achieved it, great news isn't gnome?)

Gnome:(....)

Gnome nodded to varakiel, she was currently with him since the battle is over already.

Luka:this is...the flow...

Salamander:yeah that's it luka feel the flow and remember it deep on your mind.

Salamander throws a kick to luka.

Luka:i see it, the waves coming from her leg.

Salamander then throws more attacks at luka to make him feel more familiar with the flow.

Luka swaying side to side, evades every one of her attacks.

Luka entrusting his arm to the flow connected to salamander, draws his sword and slice along it.

Luka draws his sword, letting the flow of water guide his blade!

Luka Deals 950 damage!

10442/16000

Salamander:mhm a clean slice, then how about this?

Salamander throws a wave of fire at luka.

Luka:...

that, too, was cut through.

Salamander:mhm such control already, able to cut fire.

Luka:eh? I cut fire!?.

The surprise draw back luka to reality, making him lose focus of the flow.

Salamander:idiot!, don't lose your focus now!.

Luka:ah! Sorry!.

Salamander:tch, listen you need to take undine's power inside you, and project your inner self into the world around you. Like that, you can connect to the flow around you. I can't lend my power to one who cannot even do that.

Luka:Understood!...take the flow into my heart...!

[Serene mind]

Luka entrusts his heart to the flow of water!

Luka:this! I can feel it again....in my heart, the power of undine...projecting the power outside of me, connected to the flow of the world around me.

Salamander:good, you made it again. not too shabby, then dodge this!

Salamander's hot fist shoots toward luka's groin!

But like water flowing around an obstacle, luka evades it!

Luka:.....

just like before, luka's surrounded by the flow of the world.

Sensing the wave from her disturbance, luka's body is pushed aside along it, evading salamander's fist.

Salamander:good. It wouldn't be able to hit you as you are now. Now then try attacking. Not a skill, just a normal attack.

Luka:i see it!

Luka's sword flashes, following the flow toward his opponent!

Luka Deals 868 Damage!

9574/16000

Luka:i get it, i have to swing my sword along the flow.

Salamander:...good, that's it. When you're connected to the world, both your attacks and evasion are unmatched. But your sp decreases by one every turn.

Luka:yeah i noticed.

Salamander:no more talking now. The challenge continues!.

.....

1510/1920 0/9

Luka:ah...it went away...

as the last of luka's SP drains away, his concentration breaks.

Luka:it feels like being i a fantasy world and then i was dragged back onto the normal one.

Salamander:....it seems you understand it now. When you're using that power, you're basically invincible. But as it drains your sp, when you run out of it, the power is cut.

Luka:thank you very much salamander.

Luka bowed and thanked salamander deeply.

Salamander:hmm...it feels good to teach someone worthy....you pass, luka. I'll entrust my power of fire to you!

Salamander Conceded defeated!

Luka Earned 30000 Experience Points!

Luka:eh, i-is that really okay?

Salamander:don't make me repeat myself.

Luka:b-but....

Varakiel:haha salamander acknowledge you luka....is okay, you won.

Luka:i-i see....

Varakiel :but more importantly, congratulations you can use serene mind now.

Luka:ahh! That right!, thank you big brother for your advice i have to thank alice for her training,

Luka suddenly run out of the volcano.

Varakiel:eh? Luka where are you going?.

Luka:i have to thank alice for her help.

Before Varakiel could said anything to luka he run out of the volcano.

Varakiel: this guy, he forgot the important matter here....thank you salamander.

Salamander:it was nothing, he was worthy like you told me...now is your turn, hehehe, i been waiting since yesterday than you came with granberia i want to fight you, if she is willing to be with you it means you're very strong.

Varakiel:i want to fight you too since i first saw you hahaha, salamander, i challenge you!.

Salamander: Bring it on!, show me your strength

Varakiel:before we start, drink this i want you on peak performance.

Varakiel handed over a health potion to salamander.

Salamander without hesitation drank the potion

Salamander: alright.

Salamander wounds by luka's fight healed instantly.

Salamander:now come!

Varakiel:Gnome! Give me Your Aid!.(she is going with all she got, let's go gnome!.)

[Serene mind level 4]

Salamander:? A ball of water is your strongest technique?....

Varakiel then charged to salamander.

Salamander:oh? Rushing up already? Alright let's see how you can resist this.

Suddenly a molten rock rises from the lava and falls down on varakiel!

But just a the moment the molten rock touched a single bit of the water ball it was cut in half!.

Salamander:eh!!? what happend!? That isn't something a normal serene mind can achieve....
