By the time Vahn reached the Hearth Manor, it had been almost two days since he left. A mission that was only supposed to last a single afternoon ended up turning into something much greater as he had simply been unable to abandon people that needed help. In fact, before he had even returned to the City, rumors about his …

After freeing the slaves at the encampment, Vahn proceeded to the location of the next fortress, wondering if Ina’s vision had been related to his earlier decision. Since it was something he likely would have done regardless, Vahn expected it was related to something else entirely. When he arrived above the next fortress, noticing it hadn’t been abandoned, Vahn released …

After eating breakfast with the girls, Vahn had been preparing for his venture when Eina and Hephaestus showed up. He had just been getting ready to climb on Fafnir’s back but, detecting their arrival, jumped down to greet them. Hephaestus, carrying a very tired looking Ina in her arms, walked close and quietly said, “When Ina woke up, she said …

It took a bit of effort, and coordination with Terra, but Vahn managed to get a decently sized room set up for Fenrir’s cultivation. Because of the conflicts between natural energy, and all the elemental affinities Fenrir made use of, the room she used had to be completely isolated from the rest of Terra’s dominion. To do so, she made …

Vahn spent the better part of the morning within Terra’s Garden, satiating the carnivorous dragon’s ‘appetite’ before leaving her laying peacefully against her perch. She had held up for a decent amount of time but, given his endless stamina, Vahn emerged victorious against the powerful True Dragon once again. It helped that his [Grooming] was now D-Rank, making it his …

With around one-hundred hours to spend with his new child, Vahn decided to spend some time bonding with Alex, primarily just conversing with it while he flew around in the air. The memory fragments of himself and Terra continued constructing the residence there were going to be living in while the latter would periodically come over to check on her …

By the time Vahn reached Terra’s Garden, she had already disrobed and was sitting on the edge of her perch, holding the emerald green egg which was still protected by the crystalline structure of Eva’s magic spell. Vahn smiled, unperturbed by Terra’s ‘natural’ state as he used [Shunpo] to arrive next to her in an instant, earning a light chuckle …

It didn’t take long for them to reach the room where Mikoto had been conversing with Fatina. Vahn was somewhat surprised to find that Mikoto was using a brush to comb through Fatina’s hair as it stood majestically within the peculiar lighting of the cave. As was described by Finn, Fatina was obviously not a normal Unicorn and, instead of …

After giving the girls plenty of time to rest, they set out towards the 40th Floor to begin searching for the Unicorn. Since it was just an optional Quest, Vahn wasn’t too worried about completing it and, if they were unable to find it after searching around for a few hours, he intended to return to the surface. As interesting …

Though Mikoto’s skill was commendable, Haruhime stood out more so than the silent and stoic swordswoman. While Mikoto’s attacks were fast, almost impossible to follow, Haruhime’s were elegant and gentle, almost like she wasn’t enthralled in combat. The monsters tried attacking her but not even the Variant Lizardman Elites could penetrate through her barrier. As a result, Haruhime moved in …
