As soon as I felt the spear piercing the dragon’s heart, I shouted again. “Now!” With that, Diane leapt from the dragon’s body as it began to go slack, becoming visible in midair once her Ghost-X expired. At the same time, I collected the dragon’s body into my inventory. I debated between simply looting it, but the boss monster’s corpse …

After savoring the feeling of my arm still being fully attached to the rest of my body, I led Diane back towards the chaotic fight on the first platform. Another ten wyverns had died since we left, but a few wounds had similarly opened up on the dragon’s body. “So, what type of enchantment did you make?” Diane asked hesitantly …

To my surprise, it at first looked like Grog’s party wasn’t going to come back for revenge against the stunt I pulled. I even thought that they might have learned to behave themselves. Or, perhaps they managed to sneak away from the Desert Emperor successfully, and were still on their way back to the city. My answer came Thursday afternoon, …

Because it was still two and a half days before we would even be able to challenge the Ember Flight dungeon, Diane and I both found places for us to train in seclusion. Our timeslot was in the middle of the night, so Diane would need to adjust her sleep schedule a bit in her world to avoid going through …

In the end, I sold everything but the Contract Scroll and the Shadow Silk for almost twenty gold. The Contract Scroll immediately went to the bank with my other one, and the Shadow Silk was sent to Hammerhead, together with a request to create new equipment for Diane. As for the two of us, we decided to wait until the …

On the fourth night after arriving it Falconlot, Diane appeared in my room once again, her brand dim and her Chosen looking thoroughly disappointed. Just from that expression, I could already tell that she hadn’t had any luck getting the skill that she wanted. “We’re leaving first thing in the morning.” She said with a sullen sigh, shaking her head. …

The next morning, I consulted Diane about my idea to create a second type of elemental ki projection, and she agreed that water would probably be the best option. However, she also pointed out that if we used the Create Water and Fire Shaping skills as the components for enchanting, we should be able to create the skill directly at …

It didn’t take us long to reach Falconlot, which was a large city positioned around an oasis, tropical trees rising up to give it a beautiful internal scenery. At the same time, there was a large, stone wall protecting it from the outside, with numerous guards patrolling both the top and exterior of the wall. When I saw the gate, …

I waited atop the rock where we had parked the bike, watching as Diane looked around for her prey. Since she was only using a torch, it was natural that she wasn’t going to be killing a high level monster. However, there were both high and low targets in the surrounding sands, so there were plenty of options for her …

Unsurprisingly, there was nobody else in the same trial as me this time, since who in their right mind would come here to subject themselves to poisons? While this meant that I had my privacy, it also meant that there was nothing for me to do. I couldn’t risk practicing any of my other skills, because I didn’t know what …
