When morning rolled around, and Diane logged on again, we discussed the results of our previous hunt, as well as the location of the dungeon’s entrance. After giving it some thought, Diane shook her head. “It’s better not to worry about this dungeon. The level isn’t low enough where we can guarantee our safety, and we can’t afford for any …
Chapter 112: A Hundred Lashings
As we were flying over the ocean, I had Diane and Bella both looking for an island that we could land on. The sun was already on the horizon, and I didn’t really want to drive several hours through the sky after dark, not even sure if I was going in the right direction. Diane’s limit for how long she …
Chapter 111: Grudges
Once we reached the area that I had told the guards we’d be waiting, I set up a small hut for the three of us to stay at for the time being. A quick sweep with Observe and Detective Analysis showed me that we weren’t close to any of the monsters in the forest, and should have been safe for …
Chapter 110: Blazing Forest
We kept driving for over an hour, Diane walking me through how to use the car any time I was confused. Personally, I wasn’t even sure how something this big still counted as equipment. Just how big could vehicles get before they could no longer fit in the inventory? When I asked that question to Diane, she said that it …
Chapter 109: On the Road Again
I didn’t go back to Elvenwall on Saturday night, nor did I go Sunday either. Instead, I spent that time training. After mastering the method behind the Shallow Palm, I wanted to brush up on other skills that I hadn’t used in a little while, such as Counter Attack, Sunder, or simply Unarmed Expertise. At the same time, I wanted …
Chapter 108: Substitution
By the time Diane logged back on, she found herself not fighting a band of monsters, but sitting at a stone table, drinking tea out of an earthenware cup. “…I feel like I missed something of grave importance.” She muttered, setting the cup down and looking around. At that point, Bella had calmed down for the most part, though her …
Chapter 107: Secrets
“Climb on.” Diane said, as if it was only natural as she showed Bella how to get on the bike behind her. “Grab my waist if you get startled. It looks like this is your first time riding.” “R-right.” Bella nodded her head, mounting the bike behind Diane. I deployed Ghost Zone around us, silencing the roar of the engine …
Chapter 106: Shallow Palm
I spent the rest of the day in the library, going through the five books that Karlson brought me while listening to his explanations, and answering some of his own questions. For instance, he asked what my construction skill was, interested in studying it for himself. This wasn’t exactly a major combat skill, so I saw no harm in telling …
Chapter 105: The Walking Encyclopedia
This was the first time since I evolved Martial Intent-X that someone had been able to completely overwhelm it in terms of pure strength. My eyes widened at the unexpected development, trying to estimate her level. Judging by her earlier conversation, she had to be at least level four hundred, right? She forced the projected hand open, before shattering it …
Chapter 104: The Training Begins
As I worked, Jana would occasionally throw out a comment, such as advice on how to channel my skill to get better results. For instance, she suggested making a firm, pulling motion with my arms, as if dragging the material where I wanted it to go. When I put this into practice, I found that the speed of the construction …
