Chapter 160: The Enmity Berserker.

[Taunted (Minor)] inflicted on [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]

Would you like to know what ability I considered the most annoying? If you do, then I would answer [Taunt]. Not cause it could do damage it was an ability that did no damage but cause it was able to redirect my aggression onto somebody else.

In video games, [Taunt], or sometimes called Provoke, had the function to draw the aggro, or aggression, towards a single person. Usually, this was used by defensive-oriented players to protect their squishy damage dealers from an enemys powerful attack, since the former was expected to endure and resist the attack with their high defenses. The Peolyncian incarnation was more a suggestion to attack the [Taunt] user, but it was equally annoying.

If I had to describe the feeling of being affected by this ability, then it would be as if somebody were to walk up to me and shout into my ears, HIT ME, SCUM! while I was focused on something else, frightening me for a moment. Afterwards, whispers of Attack this person would invade my head as the [Taunt] users outline would be colored red.

Now, [Taunt] was, as I said, a suggestive ability, not a force me to attack kind. I was still allowed to attack everybody else except for the [Taunt] user, but I noticed my attacks were dealing less damage to everybody else, on the other hand, damage I dealt to the taunter would be increased to the point I could one-shot these tanky orc knights if I could bypass their shields and armor. It made for a good tanking ability, even if it wasnt as overpowered as the video game version, and thats why it was annoying.

Thankfully, the ability wouldnt always have an effect on me and, even if it did, it was always either moderate or minor. [Mind Protection] helped me resist the ability and, I think over time, Id have built up a natural resistance against it. The only problem is that the damn loud shout and whispers wont stop.

Taunt

A loud provocative cry, which angers and muddles the ability of the target to think clearly. To successfully use it, the foe must be able to hear and see the [Taunt] user. If successful, the status effect [Taunted] will be applied on the target. The strength of the [Taunt] effect is determined by the [Taunt] users Intelligence and the [Taunt] targets Wisdom. Continuous usage of [Taunt] in a short period will significantly increase Stamina cost

Taunt

An abnormal status effect caused by the ability [Taunt]. Increases damage towards the [Taunt] user while decreasing damage caused to other targets unless the [Taunt] user is hit by the same attack. [Taunted]s effectiveness is determined by the stage [Minor/Moderate/Major] of the effect

Regardless, this dragged out the fight and gave me time to train up some skills.

Proficiency requirements fulfilled. [Mental Stability Lv. 8] [Concentration Lv. 7] [Danger Perception Lv. 6] [Mind Protection Lv. 5] [Battle Mind Lv. 8] [Thought Acceleration Lv. 4] [Multi-Thought Processing Lv. 2] gained

[Bearer of Kargryxmors Blood] was the title that gave me my increased skill gain, on the condition I was fighting or training, meaning it could only work on combat focused skills. That sounds kind of restrictive until you realize that nearly all skills outside the Others category were made for combat.

While those Black Orc Knights, or whatever they called themselves, kept using [Taunt] on me and their comrades kept bashing me with attacks, most of my mental related skills increased in levels, leading to me being more resistant to [Taunt]. Just, it wasnt consistent especially when there were multiple of these knights continuously using [Taunt] until one landed.

However, until that happened again, I ravaged through the ranks of these elite grimgarian fighters, even managing to kill the giant Troll Carnage-Bearer or whatever. As you would expect from these elites, not only did they have superior equipment, but they were also better trained and disciplined.

The Deadeye Night Goblins would hide until [Taunt] affected me. The Night Mother Druid kobolds would either drink a monsters blood, morphing their bodies to gain certain stats, which they used to disrupt my attacks or support the raid party with supportive magic. The Orc Scar-Champions would land devastating attacks while I was being taunted. Finally, the Black Orc Knights focused completely on defense, able to withstand my spells and scale-dust explosions with their shield and armor.

In this war of attrition, both sides were taking damage. The grimgarians lost members while I struggled to defeat them decisively. My [Panzer] armor was getting destroyed and hacked into pieces before regenerating afterwards, over and over again. The remaining shamans they had were damaging me with their water and dark spells while being protected by the steadfast knights.

It was honestly embarrassing and I hated it. The only consistent way Ive found to combat this taunt rotation was to use AOE attacks like my scale-dust explosion as attacks, which not only hit the [Taunt] user but also would not decrease the damage done to but everyone else around us, as well. Considering Ive experienced this while playing video games, I should have at least thought of the possibility of this strategy on Peolynca.

Still, that could wait for later. A major problem demanded my attention and focus.

[Hestia! Transform back into a dragon right now! RUN!]

I could feel the presence of somebody strong. Actually strong. These elite grimgarians were competent and well-trained, but if they were as strong as me, I would have been done a long time ago. This enemy, on the other hand, gave me the same vibes the B rank wyvern Astalos gave me. A bestial power, trained over years of conflict and trials, only existing today cause he was stronger than anything he faced.

I had just been taunted, but the status effect disappeared the instant that monster appeared. I instinctively used [Humanization] to transform back into a dragon. I knew I wouldnt be able to contest against this force in my half-baked form.

Hellflame Breath!

As the mana mist dissipated, I stretched my long neck out of it, revealing my head and roaring at the same time. I locked onto the tall figure hiding inside the caves shadows and shot out a stream of flames. Saori and her wolves saw me opening my fire-filled mouth and quickly dodged to the sides, scattering away from the cave as my breath attack consumed the silhouette.

Its still alive! my skills were yelling to me. I couldnt appraise my target, but it didnt matter so long as the hostility emitted from them wasnt gone yet.

Taunt!

Taunt!

Taunt!

The orc knights were relentless when it came to taunt spamming, continuing to use that ability after I had turned into a dragon. Had they no fear? Regardless of why they were doing this, I could feel [Taunt] having a slight effect on me, meaning I had to get rid of them already. Flapping my wings, I scattered scale-dust into my surroundings, gathering it around me like a mist. With a simple swipe of my tail on the ground, the dust erupted into an explosion, enveloping the orcs, leaving them screaming in pai.

The extra firepower I had in my dragon form compared to my dragonewt form was all I needed to pierce through the orcs armor. Some died, and even those who survived my blast had their armor melting into their skin. It does make it weird that I didnt transform before, but I didnt want to hog all the experience from fighting these grimgarians, since my leveling was stunted. I had my party bracelet on, which I used to funnel some of the experience towards Saori and Tasianna, since they couldnt fight anybody. Efficiency, right?

Anyway, with them gone, I should direct my focus back to-

[Hestia, we need to run! That is a B rank high ogre! He is the commander of this battalion!] Saori shouted into my head.

[Saori, Im taking care of him! Ill reduce him-Wait, what happened to Uno?!] from the corner of my eye, I noticed two garms taking care of a bloodied one. [Hold on, was this the reason you guys took so long? Now that I think about it, where are the adventurers? Where is Antonio?]

[Lady Hestia, we had to trigger plan B! Sir Antonio escaped with Lucias companions through our entrance while we bought them time; however, Miss Saori and Uno were severely injured in the process,] Tasianna answered in Saoris stead.

[I only survived due to our party bracelets. The shared experience function allowed me to level up in time,] Saori answered. [Hestia, our goal was achieved. That ogre might look injured, but if he is still wielding his axe, then we cannot underestimate him! Please, we need to retreat. Uno and one of the adventurers require your healing, now!]

Tch, dammit.

[Ok, got it.] Saving a life should take priority. However, if this ogre really was as strong as my instincts were telling me, then I really didnt think we should let him go free. I couldnt imagine letting this guy terrorize some random village while we escaped, knowing it was our fault for setting him free.

Still, the garms were our party members, so I had to be more worried about their lives first.

As I was concentrating my mana to erect a [Terra Wall] to block the cave entrance, trapping the ogre before fleeing, my skills were warning me to dodge to the side. I had no idea what it was, but it was bone-chilling how intense the warning was, to the point my heart beat accelerated suddenly.

I slammed shut my mouth and moved my legs, jumping to the side the moment a black energy sickle divided my flame breath in half and exploded on the ground. As the dust settled, a clear scar could be seen deeply engraved into the earth. No idea if I could have tanked that, even with my [Panzer] covering my dragon body.

Hahahahaha! Never would I have thought I would find two dragons in the same area. You two are quite tall, but then again, I heard dragons would be almost as large as giants or titans. A mighty ogre with two horns on his forehead appeared from the cave. His armor was scorched and the blade of his axe was red hot, having withstood blocking my flame breath. By losing an arm, I have become too weak to serve my King. However, at the very least, I shall bring him dragon scales and bones for his fine armor. Even with this beaten body, I shall elevate my King for the glory of the Night Father and the grimgarians!

Cernust was larger than me in his dragon form, both in height and body size. If the two of us were about as tall as a giant mammoth, then this ogre would be roughly the size of an elephant, making him larger than the trolls I have been fighting even if he was smaller than Cernust and I.

Grimgarians! Do not let the intruders escape! The battalion has failed now that we have lost the majority of our forces and also all of the provisions and gear inside the cave. The only way for us to regain our honor is to bring our King the heads of those dragons! Niakash Baalak!

Haruh! Haruh! Haruh! GGUGNIAK! The ogres speech quickly motivated the battered grimgarians, causing them to raise their weapons once more and raise their voices in a chorus.

The few remaining orc knights clenched onto their halberds and shields, stood back up despite the fact their armor was still sizzling their skin, and moved behind me. The kobolds bodies enlarged as they ingested vials of blood, turning almost as large as orcs even though it made them cough up blood, while the orc champions roared at me as if they were challenging me.

What were they trying to do? I could escape through the air or simply jump over them, and that was exactly what I did. Saori and her garms understood this and were already sneaking past the grimgarians attention, while I cast [Wind Blast] on my wings, to blast me into the air where I used [Air Walk] to escape.

Unfortunately, the ogre didnt seem to want me to go just yet. Enmity Axe, he calmly said before dark energy gathered around his axe. With only one arm, he heaved the giant axe over his shoulders, aimed at me, and swung it like a baseball bat, shooting another black sickle at me with great accuracy.

Once again, [Danger Perception] and [Foresight] activated, warning me to dodge at all cost. The moment I stepped aside, the grimgarians acted.

Taunt! the orc knights shouted from the bottom of their lungs while raising their shields, drawing my attention away for a split second as my instincts were influenced by that nasty ability. Luckily, the dark sickle passed by me as I locked eyes with a dying orc knight, but that was all the grimgarians needed to attack me. The lone troll shaman mumbled something as his staff glowed black, before the glow split into pieces and scattered into the forest. The troll dropped his staff and fell face-first on the ground. He did not stand back up.

As the glow faded, the grey-skinned goblins revealed themselves and simultaneously shot arrows coated in that same glow at me.

I couldnt defend against them. [Taunt]s whispers were annoying the heck out of me and I decided to kill the orc who used it on me with a [Hellflame Breath] and then spread the flames onto the other orc knights. Finally, the source of [Taunt]s was gone for good, but it wasnt worth it as the goblins arrows pierced through my [Draconic Barrier] and [Panzer] armor. The sharp pain I always felt whenever I got attacked by either a water or dark elemental attack stabbed into my body. I believe some of the arrows even managed to break a number of scales since my [White Flames] was healing me.

As I clenched my teeth, another [Enmity Axe] was shot at me. I planned to dodge it, but my skills warned me another attack was coming one which I couldnt evade.

Blood-Scar Axe! The Ogre drenched his axe blade in his own blood, causing it to glow a dangerous red. He threw his weapon over his head before swinging it like a golf club, launching a massive red blast.

According to [Foresight], [Wind Blast] couldnt propel me far enough, while I just didnt have the time to cast both [Warp Point] exit and entry. My best bet was to avoid the [Enmity Axe] and endure the [Blood-Scar Axe] with [Panzer]. I disliked my lack of options and wanted to complain how absurd it was that he could use three threatening attacks in quick succession, but the urgency of the situation demanded me to bite my tongue.

I jumped over [Enmity Axe] using [Air Walk] and blasted myself further away from [Blood-Scar Axe] with [Wind Blast]. Considering the speed it was traveling, I really couldnt get away from it, but it allowed me to buy enough time to multicast [Panzer], [Air Shield], and [Molten Guard], fortifying my defenses, while using [Bedrock Blades] and [Terra Wall] to hopefully weaken the attack before it hit me.

As the red blast broke through all my earthen constructs, I simply closed my eyes and clenched my teeth, awaiting the attack and hoping it wont hurt as much. I was wrong. [Absolute Pain Tolerance] might prevent me from going into shock, but the pain didnt magically disappear.

Kriiiiiyaaahhhh!

I screamed eternally. My body was twirling around like a carousel, freefalling as I didnt have the power to stabilize myself nor use [Air Walk] until I hit the first tree. The crunch and cracking of wood came from my back, but my fall did not decelerate. These sounds were all I could hear as I crashed into every single tree, sometimes even face-first. It eventually stopped, but landing on the ground wasnt any less painful as I tumbled like a ragdoll before my body smacked against a large rock, finally stopping me.

[Broken Bones [Left Wing](Minor)] [Broken Bones [Right Wing](Minor)] inflicted on [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargrxmor]

Kruuuurghhhhh As I opened my eyes, a deep groan escaped my mouth. I could see my purple armor crumbling into dust while my [Air Shield] and [Molten Guard] disappeared completely. My scales and carapace around my legs were cracked and I could feel the bones in my wings broken.

My white flames and parallel minds were already hard at work healing me from that attack, but nothing could help the dizziness I was feeling. The ringing in my ears, my shaky vision, and my shaking legs. I felt like puking as I slowly pulled myself up. I wanted to rest so very much, but my [Detection Sensor] warned me of hostile signals. One of them was coming towards me at a frightening speed.

Gale Steps! Enmity Axe!

Panzer. Terra Wall. Molten Guar-Kyarghhh!

[Bleeding (Minor)] inflicted on [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargrxmor]

Kraarrrrrrghhhh! I screamed out in pain. [Panzer] managed to manifest in time but my other spells materialized too slowly since my parallel minds were too occupied with healing me. I once again crashed against the boulder as I could feel a large gash ripped open my side. Dazed from having my head hit the boulder again, I was barely able to react to what my skills were warning me next.

Decapitate! A loud booming voice caused my heart to skip a beat.

[Adrenaline (Moderate)] inflicted on [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargrxmor]

Somehow, I managed to dodge the attack by raising my head. The attack came down vertically after all. Sadly, I wasnt out of the woods at all, now that the ogre made it close enough for his axe to reach me. He let go of his axe and grabbed my throat with his sole arm. He might be smaller than me, but his strength was indisputable.

He slammed my head onto the ground and viciously stomped on it, holding me down for a clean cut. It was then that the adrenaline finally kicked in my head, clearing it up from the immense headache I was feeling. I was calm, despite being in a very dangerous position, and used my tail to pierce through the ogres battered stomach armor.

UuuuuARRGHHHHH! he bellowed, giving me the chance to stab his leg with my left claws. Similar to how I can manage my body temperature, I turned up the heat around my tail and claws, singeing the wound and causing him to curse in pain.

Arrghhhh! G-Glory to you, dragon! You are strong, and deserve a warriors death! I will pray that our Night Fathers daughter of death, Ilsaphone, will honor your soul for eternity! I could hear his hand grab his axe.

You dont tell me to die, ASSHOLE! Dreadflare Aura! Scale-Dust Veil!

My body exploded like a heat bomb, scorching everything around me with complete impunity. With a blast that could melt even boulders, the ogres axe flew from his hand as his body was being cooked alive the longer he stayed around me, while his armor and skin turned to ashes from the explosion caused by continuous scale-dust explosions.

KUUUURAAGHHHH! I WILL HAVE THIS VICTORY FOR MY KING! SPINE BREAKER! He howled like a crazed gorilla, but his mouth didnt spout out empty words. I could see his fingers melting from my [Dreadflame Aura] but he didnt budge away, raising the amount of weight and strength he was putting on my head.

Hes aiming for a level up!

Leveling up meant a full Health regeneration. He could survive all his wounds if he killed me!

Parallel minds, blast him with spells, now!!!

I applied pressure on my tail and claws stuck inside his body but he didnt move. How fucking high was his Strength?!

[Bedrock Blades] pierced his body, [Banishment Beam] drilled into his skin, and [Lava Stream] turned his skin into liquid. But none of them could do anything. Why not use [Purple Flash] into an [Omnictus] I asked one of my parallel minds, but they answered they couldnt concentrate long enough since my head was literally getting squashed at this very moment.

[Hestia, disable your aura, now!] A voice entered my head. Instincts told me to not obey, as without the aura, the ogre would have killed me already, but my heart knew what to do.

Concentrate on healing and defense now, parallel minds!

[Major Heal], [Sanctified Blaze], and constant regenerating [Panzer] around my head were being cast as my [Dreadflame Aura] died out. The moment the pressure of the heat stopped, the ogre put all his weight into his foot. I could feel air escape my lungs as the cracking of scales and bones echoed into my skull.

Luckily, the pain only lasted for a few seconds, and it wasnt cause my head popped open.

Just Blink! Abyssal Bomb! A giant black ball double the size of the ogres head suddenly jumped out from my shadow before disappearing from existence for a single second. As the next second came, it reappeared right in front of the ogre and exploded.

This point-blank dark blast knocked the ogre back as if a hammer had smacked his face, stumbling as he roared in pain, clutching onto his disfigured face. Nevertheless, my neck finally could relax as my recovery spells and natural regeneration healed me up.

Saori! Thank goodness!

As I was elated for the nice support, my attention finally caught onto the dozen of signals encircling me. I was completely distracted by the ogre that I didnt notice the enemies around me.

Kwek! a grey-skinned hobgoblin yelled the moment he revealed himself along with several of his comrades, loosening their bowstrings to launch a rain of black-glowing arrows in every direction.

In my current state, I couldnt dodge and letting this hit me was not what I wanted. As I was preparing spells, numerous trees erupted from the ground and grew immensely in size, blocking the rain of arrows about to attack me. As I was baffled at the sight, the sounds of confused goblins were replaced by shrills of agony.

Ggugniak! Peeking out of the holes of the tree wall, I saw the remaining orc champions and kobold druids shouting the moment their goblin comrades died, fighting against the source of their death, but three shadows ripped them apart as an ethereal blue blade soared through the forest with a retinue of ice daggers, buffeted their faces.

While these numerous weakened elite grimgarians were taken out when they were the most exhausted, one of the shadows suddenly stopped in the spot to release a powerful howl, echoing through the woods. In my dragon form, wearing my party bracelet was impossible, so I couldnt see what happened, but I think something good just happened to Saori.

Saori! Tasianna! Cernust!

NIAKASH BAALAK! BLOOD-SCAR AXE! Like a massive horn, the bellowing roar of the ogre overshadowed everything else as he coated his axe with the blood leaking out of the side of his stomach, the place where I had pierced him with my tail. Once again, my skills were warning me to move it already, otherwise it might end very badly for me.

Fuck, I cant move! Dammit, take him down!

Struggling to stand on my feet, I knew I wouldnt last long even if I launched my body away with [Wind Blast] and [Terra Wall]. I had to stop him now or never. Otherwise, this fucking berserker would just turn it all around again! Invoking a brown magic circle, I was betting everything on my [Bedrock Blades] to tear him apart.

As desperation and stress overwhelmed me, roots and vines burst from the earth with ruthless speed. Roots pierced his only arm, interrupting his attack motion, while the vines grabbed his legs and rooted him into place, preventing him from putting his foot forward to shoot the attack. This disturbance allowed my [Bedrock Blade] to pierce his chest as well as his abdomen, but narrowly miss his head as he swerved it to the side.

NIKASH BAALAK. FOR MY KING! FOR THE PROSPERITY OF THE GRIMGARIANS! FOR MY TRIBE! BLOOD-SCAR AXE! The ogre tore through the roots with sheer arm strength and immediately resumed his stance, despite his melting flesh, broken bones, deformed face, and fatal stab wounds. The sheer tenacity he had made me admire him for a split second before reminding myself that he was an enemy.

As he was about to throw his attack, a giant, green komodo dragon burst from the underground and attacked the ogre. The ogre showed an expression of surprise but, even then, his body did not relent and the deadliest attack in his arsenal was unleashed.

Cernust!

Cernust swiped at the ogres chest before clashing his horns against the ogres bloodied axe. It was a valiant attempt, but the Strength difference between a C rank monster and a B rank was far too high, and Cernust was blown away. Blood seeped down from his skull as his right horn-antler was slashed off, but fortunately, the attack was thwarted and his axe somehow entangled itself on Cernusts remaining antler.

As the giant green drake crashed on the ground, two garm suddenly appeared in front and behind the ogre respectively with mana threads in their mouths. As the ogre tried to recover from all the damage he suffered, the garms danced around him, immobilizing him with the threads.

DO YOU THINK YOU CAN STO-GYAK! The moment the ogre wanted to say something, a garm clad in shadow armor appeared behind him and bit into his neck, pulling his head back. Then, two large ice swords shot down and pierced into his eyes as a girl with fairy wings landed on the garms back and telekinetically pulled the ice swords towards herself, fully bending the ogres head back.

[Hestia, END IT!] Saori demanded.

[Lady Hestia, FIGHT!] Tasianna shouted.

Kroooooooaaaggggggghhhh! Cernust roared.

Clenching my teeth, I forced my body to stand up before using [Wind Blast] to blast myself forward. Kriiiiiiiiiiiaaarghhhhh! I shouted before stabbing the ogres jaw, jerking his mouth open. I then slammed my fangs against each, creating a spark to develop a flame inside my mouth.

My chest suddenly was filled with power as my core began to shine iridescently like a sun, energizing every single cell inside my body. It made my body feel warm, far warmer than what [Symphonie des Feuergottes] ever did. The scale-dust under my scales exploded into fire, making it seem like every scale was a single rocket booster.

Solar Beam!!!

With the heat of the sun, I opened my mouth and unleashed a sun breath into the ogres mouth. The smell of melting flesh was especially harsh as it also included the ogres bowels but I endured it. So did Saori and Tasianna, who were only able to maintain their hold on the ogre in the midst of the volcanic temperature thanks to Tasiannas ice and water magic.

Experience has reached multiple breaking points. [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor] has risen from [Level 1] to [Level 3]

Attributes have increased due to level up

Acquired 1300 skill points

Proficiency requirements fulfilled. [Solar Core Lv. 2] [Continuous Cast Lv. 2] [Sundering Enhancement Lv. 6] [Piercing Enhancement Lv. 6] [Foresight Lv. 3] [Physical Super-Resistance Lv. 5] [Fear Resistance Lv. 5] [Enhanced Vitality Growth Lv. 6] [Parallel Thoughts Lv. 10] gained

Kriiiiiiarghhhhh! I closed my mouth for a moment as the System notification appeared, and shot the remaining energy of [Solar Beam] into the sky until my core was fully empty. Once I was done, my body simply collapsed on the ground. My wounds might have healed up, but I was just tired, mentally and physically.

At least I wasnt the only one to collapse; the ogres slightly molten body did as well.

[Thankfully he did not ingest any of that black liquid like the troll shaman from back then,] Saori commented, also collapsing from exhaustion once she made sure the ogre wouldnt stand up as a zombie. I mean, the beam went out the other way, drilling him, it would be kinda bad if he did, you know.

[This wasnt a pleasant surprise at allYou were right, Saori. Again,] I admitted, remembering the last time she warned me not to be so reckless. Last time it was the tendril of a leviathan and this time it was a high ogre.

[You do not have to say that, Hestia. I dont care if Im right or not, I just want you to be less reckless and think about potential risks. Besides, I ran ahead of you before you could escape from the ogre, so your injuries are partially my fault,] Saori responded.

[It was mine as well, Lady Hestia. I still havent reached level 60 yet, and I still require more training with this catalyst,] Tasianna gave a humble reply.

[Yeah,] I answered, exhausted. [So, what was that loud howl for anyways, Saori?]

[I can evolve now.] It was a quick reply and I was feeling really happy for her, but I was honestly just too tired to find the motivation and energy to do so. So, I congratulated her and said we could do it after all of this was done.

I then turned my head to Cernust, who was also lying down lazily. [You ok, elder-scale?]

Kruuuaghh. Krieyyyrukkkk.

[I dont understand you, sorry.] Maybe I was mistaken when I thought I understood what he was talking about when I saw his dragon form for the first time. I just couldnt understand his growls.

Kruuu

Yeah, sorry

Still, despite feeling too exhausted to even celebrate, I was still happy that we had won a tough battle against a B rank monster. The last time we fought against a B rank monster, it was Astalos and his companion wyverns, and although we defeated the recently evolved ice wyverns, we still were easily defeated by Astalos, a level 44 B rank monster. Sure, this ogre was weakened, but we survived and won. We might not have progressed far enough to win these fights immediately, but progress was progress.

We needed to train and grow even further, but I was proud of Auroras continued growth. And, soon, we were about to gain a major improvement in Saoris evolution.

Once we could stand again, we transformed back to our humanoid forms and returned to where we left Antonio and the others. It was about time to finish this Quest and, in doing so, our time in Firwood.

Bio: Hey there, AbyssRaven here. I'm just an avid Light Novel and Fantasy story reader who randomly thought of a story and began writing about it.

I eventually found out that I've been spending a bit too much time with building, planning, and researching for the story, that I've decided to just share it with others.

Writing is mostly a hobby for me, but I would still love any kind of criticism to improve on it.

I'm also german, so please excuse anything that sounds a bit weird...I wouldn't mind you pointing it out though.
