Bella led us through the streets of Elvenwall, where she was greeted repeatedly by both the NPCs and other Fallen as we passed. From what I saw, there were only a handful of other players in the city, and all of them received the same level of treatment. Even those that seemed drunk on praise weren’t disparaged. When Bella noticed …

Admittedly, navigating and protecting the ship like this was far from easy on my head. I could feel a growing headache build after the first hour, but it wasn’t on the level of an injury like it had been. If I had persisted with my first tactic, it would be questionable if I could even maintain it halfway to Elvenhall. …

The next day began rather… calmly. Although it looked like a storm was coming, three mages from the crew stepped forward, jointly casting a skill that caused the clouds to recede. As for me, I didn’t have much to do but watch the waves. Until I was certain how destructive my new master-level combat skills were, I didn’t want to …

Once the ship set sail, I found myself sitting on the deck, watching the waves. Looking over at Diane, I was immediately thankful that neither of us seemed to get seasick, though I shouldn’t have been surprised with her. Knowing her history, I expected she played some form of pirate game at some point and was familiar with seafaring. “This …

It was another ten minutes before Diane entered the room, her cheeks flushed slightly and shoulders trembling. When she made eye contact with me, she quickly looked down. “Thanks…” She muttered under her breath, and I just blinked. “What’d I do?” I asked in confusion, not thinking that I had really made a decision worthy of such a treatment. Diane, …

After assessing the new skill, Diane and I went to report to the dungeon clerk that we had cleared the Sea Dragon Palace. At the same time, we decided to tell them about the oddities that had formed, such as ten minibosses in one room, and the addition of a new boss not recorded. Finally, we presented our theory about …

Ultimately, this fight wasn’t nearly as eventful as some of the others that we had done, such as the final Ember Flight boss. Although I did die earlier in the dungeon, that was due to an ambush. In this situation, despite facing three of the same boss, and one stronger, we had plenty of time to prepare ourselves. Thus, it …

With the Sea Dragon Queen dead, it was a simple matter to defeat the two remaining princes, who were both demoralized and stunned by the barrage of lightning. Once they were all dead, I went through and looted the bodies. Counting the one that Diane killed earlier, I received three more Dragon Pearls, as well as a single claw. As …

Thankfully, the second use of Glancing Steps-X was easier than the first, and I sent another giant slab of meat past a different set of pillars. This time, there was considerably more wariness in the eyes of the dragons, though their stomachs would eventually get the better of them.  Do we have enough time to wait for them like this? …

With Diane’s attempt at ‘infiltration’ thwarted, we returned to my method. Because of their starving status, the dragons here were even weaker than the ones that we had just fought outside. At the same time, we had no need to worry about a giant shark monster coming along due to the smell of blood. A moment later, a barrage of …
