My Journey: The Reason Why I Will Live

Luka: big brother I am here!

Varakiel: mhm we're leaving now.

Luka: okay! then mom please take care I promise when we are back I would have got coexistence with monsters and humans!

Lucifina: ufufu I believe in you luka, please take care and remember to always listen to varakiel, alright?

Luka: mhm.

Then luka and Lucifina hugged each other.

Varakiel: alright, girls I leave your mother under your care, okay?

Papi: Yes, big brother, we will not let mom get hurt by anyone!

Vanilla: if someone hurts her, I will make his family pay ten times the prices forever!

Teeny: exactly!

Gob: and I will take him to a monster plants nest!

Varakiel: alright, then come here.

Varakiel then crouch down and hugged them.

Varakiel: remember than big brother will always love you, no matter what okay?

The little girls: okay!

Alice and Granberia seeing varakiel treat the monster kids, like his own children, made them trust him even more, now they are sure he is not their enemy.

Alice: I must say seeing a human treat monster kids like that, makes me feel weird.

Granberia: I agree with that, even more in this country.

Papi then got near Granberia.

Papi: emm, sir heavenly knight.

Granberia just turned her gaze to papi.

Granberia:.....

Papi then took a short sword and present it to Granberia.

Papi: even though I am a novice yet I hope you can take this sword than I made, it's the best I can do for now.

Granberia then turned her gaze to varakiel, varakiel noticing her gaze, only give her a smile.

Granberia: hump, he seems to believe you can become the best blacksmith, I will be the one who will judge that.

Granberia then picked up the short sword.

Papi then with a bright smile said.

Papi: yeah, I will do my best!

Alice: hoho looks like someone is soft with kids as well.

Granberia: shut up!

Granberia then rushed outside.

Varakiel: Haha, alright everyone take care! see you later!

Lucifina: goodbye dear.

Micaela: goodbye varakiel.

Elfy: goodbye sir varakiel!

The little ones: goodbye big brother!

After walking a little outside the village.

Luka: uuuuu....

Varakiel: jaja not cry luka, this is not a goodbye, this is a see you later.

Alice: ara, the little hero is getting sad because a goodbye?

Luka: hey! leave me alone, I have always lived with my mother is the first time I am going far away from her, you not know how I feel!

Luka then started to walk faster to get away from Alice and varakiel.

Alice: ....

Alice then showed a subtle sad face.

Varakiel: alice he doesn't mean it like that...

Alice: what are you talking about, idiot.

Varakiel:…., (forget it I will help her when the time comes, getting her hopes to see her mom again would only make her anxious).

When everyone left the forest it was almost night time.

Varakiel: alright let's set up the camp here.

Luka: alright.

After the camp was completely set up, varakiel with luka's help made dinner, Alice eat like she was starving as always, Granberia went off to go train, saying she would eat later.

Varakiel: luka come here.

Luka:? What is it big brother.

Varakiel: catch!

Varakiel then throws the angel halo to luka.

Luka: ahhh wait!

Luka catches the angel halo!

Luka: big brother.... what is this?

Varakiel: you remember I told you I will solve the problem of you not wanting to kill monsters?

Luka: yes, I remember you did after the fight with the slime girl, what it has to do with this thing.

Varakiel: this sword is called, angel halo, is one of a kind in the world, use it from now on.

Luka: use...this "thing"?

Ueee...

Luka: wha!?ri...right now I just heard a moan!? Did you not hear that!?.

Varakiel: that's to be expected. The sword was refined from 666 melted angels.

Luka: ughhh

Varakiel: hear me out, because the angels' grudges are hammered into the sword, it holds their curse.it eats away the magic of whatever it slashes, making it hard for the opponent to maintain their form.

Luka: i don't get it.

Alice then come from nowhere.

Alice: you idiot, you beat a monster, they won't be able to hold their form, they won't die, they'll just temporarily be made harmless.

Luka: this sword can? Seal monsters?

Alice: oh...good timing. Give it a try.

Varakiel: jajaja....

on the sky a subtle shadow could be seen, directly moving to the camp.

Alice: well, we will hide now. Make sure you give the sword a try.

Saying that Alice touch varakiel and they vanish.

Luka: hey! Alice! Varakiel!

Bat Girl appears!

Bat girl: kekeke I found a little boy this night, would you give me some semen?

Luka:eh? i am sorry but I can't do that. (no matter how hard I attack; I won't kill her right?) ORA!

The bat girl got hit.

Bat: ehhh...what is that sword.... from the wound my power is draining...

Luka: it works! (with this I can finally fight!)

then the bat girl dives into luka.

Luka got caught!

Bat: kekeke you are now mine boy.

The bat the proceeds to pounds in luka groin.

Luka: uhh let go off me!

Luka easily struggles and gets free.

Luka: here I come! Demon decapitation!

SP 3/7

Luka then jumps, and slashes the bat girl neck!

As the mortal wound is given to her.... she vanishes

luka defeated the bat girl!

Luka earned 20 experience points!

Luka is now level 4!

Luka:eh...? what happened? (what is that at the sky?) a bat?

Alice and varakiel then comes back.

Alice: do you get it now? That monster from before turned into that. Totally unharmed. Just left harmless.

Luka: guys.... hmmm I get it now.

Noticing her situation and what happened to her the bat dives on a tree on the forest

Luka: she will be okay like that?

Varakiel: she's still a monster, so even with that appearance, she won't die easily.

Alice: mhm, if she gets power from others, she'll be able to return to her original form.

Luka: i see.... I hope she reflects on her actions in the meantime.

Alice: rather than reflect, her hatred will probably just increase.

Luka: ...(I hope that isn't the case.) by the way, what would happen if I used this sword on a human? Just to be sure.

Alice: hoho it seems you wouldn't doubt to fight humans too, that's good...even if it's a human, it can seal them. They would probably turn into a child, or a dwarf. And since the sword is made out of angels, it will show its true power when fighting against them, too.

Luka: i get it! Thank you, big brother. With this, I can fight without holding back.

Varakiel: Haha not give me the thanks give it to Alice she is the actual owner of the sword.

Alice:....

Luka: i see... thank you, Alice.

Alice: as I though, you fought a lot better than before, not holding back really shows the potential varakiel sees on you.

Luka: yeah, I felt completely different than before!

Alice:.... but you're still a rookie. Don't get a big head.

Luka: i won't.... *yawn* I got sleepy I guess I'll go to sleep see you tomorrow.

Varakiel: good night luka.

Then varakiel was left alone with Alice.

Varakiel: so how was the dinner today, Alice.

Alice: delicious as ever, varakiel.

Varakiel: glad to hear it from the monster lord Haha.

Alice: it made up for not getting food at enrika. If I could, I would keep your prisoner at my castle as my personal chef. I won't ever have to eat subpar meal again.

Varakiel: jaja, I would take it all as a praise.

Alice: are we going to happiness village as well, aren't we?

Varakiel: mhm, we should to.it might be a chance to create another town than coexist with monsters, and I have interest in this happiness honey of them.

Alice: and that means meals with honey right!?

Varakiel:...hehe yeah.

Alice smiled happily

Alice:...♪♪♪

Alice then turned serious again.

Alice: not let luka obliterate everything at least.

Varakiel: ahaha not worry this case is actually really easy, it can be solved by talking.

Alice: talking.... heh, it reminds me when you talked to me in that forest, days ago.

Varakiel: yeah Haha, I must say if it wasn't because I have immunity to mental control we will not be here talking.

Alice: you had immunity to it? I thought it was because you were stronger than me...

Varakiel: idiot, you are strong, if you were to fight seriously all the bad conditions would be my doom jajaja!

Alice: then why you said my mother was stronger?

Varakiel: because she would have waited until the human attacked first and would use all her strength without doubt.

Alice:.... I see, so I was weak on my resolve.

Varakiel: mhm, but I bet now with all you have seen now, you wouldn't show that weakness again.

Alice:...I see if you think so...thank you

Varakiel: mhm...well I should go to Granberia or the food would get cold.

Alice: alright just don't start fighting or we wouldn't be able to sleep.

Varakiel: can't promise that.

Alice: varakiel.

Varakiel: mhm?

Alice: good night.

Varakiel:..... hahaha, good night too, little princess.

--------------------------------------------------------

Varakiel then looked down for Granberia. Varakiel eventually found her away from the camp, training.

She quickly noticed varakiel.

Granberia: oh, varakiel, good timing! I want to see how good you are with a sword.

Granberia uses vaporizing rebellion sword!

Varakiel:gladly!.

Varakiel counters all the attacks with quick succession of quick attacks

Granberia:...oh you deflected every hit now! Impressive.

Granberia is always impressed because he did it with a technique than only does one hit, it means he uses them very quickly at par with her technique than attacks several times.

Granberia:are all the humans from your world this strong?

Varakiel:i don't think so the main reason i could come here is because i trained to become the strongest there.

Granberia:...i see, so i imagine when you become the strongest here you would leave.

Varakiel:haha i don't think so.

Granberia:joo care to explain?.

Varakiel:as you wish...lets see my main goal here is to become the strongest yeah but strongest as infinite categories, strongest hero, scientist, adventurer.

Granberia:i see.

Varakiel:but that's not all, i can take my friends to become the strongest too in other worlds, there is infinite possibilites out there, remember the reason number three to stop the great disaster from reaching?

Granberia:of course i do something so bad can't be forgotten already.

Varakiel:that universe exist out there, and i plan to go there, eventually.

Granberia:what!?

Varakiel:uhm, me coming here just made this world separate permanently from that universe.

Granberia:everytime you talk about it, it ends up sounding crazier.

Varakiel:the main point is not becoming the strongest quick, is enjoy the path and who knows maybe if you, alice, lucifina, luka, micaela, ilias whoever stays with me you will be able to become the strongest together with me, people say the path of the strongest is a lonely one, but isn't true they said because when you become the strongest, there is no one out there to fight too, but the true way to do it is never let go what you believe to become the strongest, and my belief is the new friends and family than i got in this world.

Granberia:y-you consider me your friend?

Varakiel:i not consider you my friend...

Granberia:hmph like i would like to be friends with a pervert like you.

Varakiel:i consider you my future world travel partner.

Granberia:..ha...haha you really say the craziest things ever and what is the reason for that if i my know?.

Varakiel:simple, you and me aren't too different from each other, we both want to get stronger for what we believe, you for your lord and people, me for my friends and family.

Granberia:...fine i accept your proposal....only if you promise when we leave everyone would be safe.

Varakiel:there is no reason to promise it, because we will do it together, you , me , alice and luka.

Granberia:.....tell me why you truly choice me as your partner.

Varakiel:....hehehaha, you really know me too well for actually being with us 1 day...i think you are beautiful.

Granberia:what?...beautiful, are you kidding me?.

Varakiel:yeah you're beautiful, you fight because you love it, you wish to be stronger to protect your belief's, i specialy love girls than show their emotions through battle.

Granberia:i see so there is a pervert out there who actually sees me beautiful.

Varakiel:sorry not sorry.

Granberia:but everything doesn't matter if you can't be strong enough to convince me, so come fight me!, without skills , only a battle blade by blade!.

Varakiel:just right what i wanted to hear.

Varakiel then unsheated his sword.

Varakiel:lets dance!

Granberia:come!,

then both of them proceed to fight until feel it was enough, with no skills no special attacks, just sword mastery.

Granberia:ho it seems you got a lot stronger after our fight!.

Varakiel:yeah it seems like that (lily what is happening).

Lily:(Varakiel you forget to check out your stats after your fight with granberia after all, you gained 3500 xp equally to 2 level up equally to an increase of 1000 on your battle stats, and a reward of 1000G').

Varakiel:(gah, i completely forgot about it, really fighthing someone equal to me let me grown this fast?.)

Lily:(of course, actually the system is evaluating what the host said before, world traveling partners, let them share the system with the host, and travel with him to grown stonger together, the system is evaluating it and i agree this can be great for the host, because he can train with them always equally and always growing stronger.)

Varakiel:(hehehahaha great then if i can, i can choice granberia as the first one?.)

Lily:(please wait until the system ends his evaluation it should probably end when the host confronts the entity called ilias.)

Varakiel:(haha so i will make granberia stronger with me, so the evaluation is a success jajaja.)

Granberia:varakiel?why you are more stronger now?.

Varakiel:well it seems i levelled up 2 times jaja.

Granberia:eh i see no wonder you are stronger than before.

Varakiel:yeah it seems thats the case(good thing this world has the concept of levels)

Varakiel:oh yeah before i forget about it.

Varakiel then took out the food he bring to granberia out of his inventory.

Varakiel: you should eat now.

Granberia:you can use magic too?!.

Varakiel:is only a handy one where i can save objects so i don't have to carry them.

Granberia:i see.then i will eat.

Varakiel:alright then i will go back to the camp, before a bat girl attacked, i don't want another to attack and ruin the tents.

Granberia:alright.

Varakiel then got back to the camp and saw alice near a tree sleeping, still using the same blankquet varakiel gave him.

Varakiel:everything seems normal, training with her was good enough guess ill go to sleep tonight.

The next day

Varakiel:alright everyone next destination happiness village.

Luka:let's go!

Alice:finally we will get some honey.

Granberia:this is what we will do really? Go to every town, searching pointless sidequests?

Luka:we have to spread coexistence, thats out objective after all!.

Granberia:....what is this, a pilgrimage? Ugh....

Varakiel:and we have to get the honey after all i made a deal with alice.

Luka:and we have to save the humans being kidnapped by the harpies there, is the same as you not letting a hero kill a weak monster!

Granberia:*sigh*you two have a point.

Alice:we must save the village...it would be a disaster if varakiel isn't able to cook with the honey!.

Luka:....

Varakiel:classy as ever.

Granberia:i don't even like sweet things why i am here.

Varakiel:oh you don't like sweet things?noted.

Granberia:.....

--------------------------------------------------------

Alice:by the way....do you know why it's called happiness village?

Varakiel:because the harpies make the men damn happy.

Alice:something like that.

Varakiel:probably the men kidnapped by the harpies doesn't want to leave, after all the harpies of this times arent as aggresive has before.

Alice:it would make more sense, they can't afford to fight seeing their low numbers.so then how we will solve the problem if the men were...hmm?

Alice stopping mid-sentence, suddenly vanishes with granberia and varakiel.

Luka:eh?a monster is near?

Luka then took off angel halo and got ready.

Then a bee girl appears!

Bee:fufu...an unbaptized traveler. You look delicious.ill spread my honey all over you.

Luka:(right now i don't need to hold back)here i come!demon decapitation!

Luka then jump in, and slashes at her neck!

Luka deals 130 damage!

20/150

bee:i'll cover you in honey...

the bee girl pours honey all over luka!

Luka:what is this!?(ugh her honey overpowers my senses and is covering all my body must end this now).Take this Ha!.

Luka the slashes at the bee.

Luka deals 50 damage!.

0/150

bee:what...is this? My strength...

after the fatal blow, the bee girl turns into a small bee and it flies off somewhere!.

Bee girl was defeated luka gained 40 Experience Points!

Luka is now Level 5!

Luka:alright i won!

Granberia:it seems having that sword has helped you boy.

Luka:ah lady granberia, yeah with it i can finally fight without holding back!.

Granberia:just remember to not depend on it too much, always practice with it.

Luka:understood.

Alice:seems he is really destinied to that sword.

Varakiel:yeah it seems so.

Eventually everyone arrived at happiness village.

Granberia:i'll wait for you outside.

Varakiel:alright.

Varakiel:happiness village...

Luka:it seems all the men are actually missing

they can only see women attending to the crops and the beehives all over the fields. And thats the problem.

Alice:mhm the harpies....

there wasn't a single man anywhere. The only male was a little boy helping to transport one of the hives.

A woman approched everyone.

Woman:oh travelers?a young one, at that.you came all the way here, but we don't really have anything to entertain travelers with.due to the shortage of manpower, we have a shortage of our speciality happiness honey too.

Luka:don't worry. We came here to he--

little boy:aaahh!

Suddenly the young boy starts to scream.

Luka:what is happening.

Varakiel:go luka!.

Luka:me? Alright!.

Luka then rushed to the source of the scream

there an harpy was grabbing the boy, about to take off with him in her talons!

Luka:!!stop, let go of the boy!

Luka pulls out angel halo and runs at the harpy. The villagers already have run indoors.

Harpy:of i haven't seen you in this village before....are you a traveler?

The harpy looks at luka and releases the little boy smiles, and licks her lips.

Harpy:alright...i'll let the boy go but you will go with me instead!

Luka:run away , kid!

Boy:o....okay!

When the kid got away safely, luka raised his sword to the harpy.

Harpy:you're much nicer than that little boy, i'll take you back to my nest, and we can make lots of children, or maybe we can start making them right here..?be a good boy and make a lot of children with me...

Luka:...

Harpy:here i come!

Luka attacks

but the harpy flies into the sky, avoiding luka's attack!.

Luka:che!(i will have to wait for a chance!.)

Harpy:ehe....it's time to mate

the harpy pushes luka to the ground!

Harpy straddles luka's groin!

Luka:ugh...(this is a chance!)

luka then attacks at the harpy than has him pined down

Luka:got you!

Luka deals 90 damage!

60/150

Harpy:hyaaaaa!

The harpy quickly flaps away:

Harpy:i'll...i'll let you go with just much today!

The harpy yells at luka as she flies away.

The harpy was chased away!

Luka earned 50 experience points!

Luka:Ha...

luka the puts away angel halo, and breathe on a sigh of relief.

Woman:what happend!?

Girl:the traveler drove the harpy away?amazing.

All the villagers, coming out of their houses, start to gather around me.

Elder: driving off the harpy...you must be really skilled!

Luka:who are you ?

Elder:i'm the village chief's wife...since he has been kidnapped, i am the acting village chief

Alice:barricading yourself.in a house even as a child is being abducted? Can you really call yourself a chief like that?actually, not a single person in this village tried to help...

Villagers:...

Luka:don't say that alice...it isn't possible for them to fight monsters.

Varakiel:that's why we are here of course.

Elder chief: ....what can weak people like us do?now, traveler. We hate to impose, but we have a favor to ask of you...

Varakiel:don't worry thats we came here, we have an idea of the situation.

Varakiel decided to go directly to the settlement, there is no need to fight over this matter.

Varakiel:we know where the harpy's village is. I can go take care of this and get the men back.

Elder:they're still alive!?

Varakiel:of course they are, as the harpies might look and act they are really peaceful, we will just go to talk to the men.

Girl:...so what did they kidnap men for?

Varakiel:breeding, the harpies race is near extintion, actually i think this is the only harpies village left.

Girl:geh...i see.

Alice:jaja i can't believe you told them.

Elder:it doesn't matter, if they are alive is ok, thank you.

Alice:Varakiel...why do you care about these strangers?

Alice walked with varakiel and luka a bit to the east.

Alice:do you really think they deserve your kindness, do you really think you're the first one they sent to take care of this?.

Varakiel:i talked with one of the villagers and they have sent seven persons actually.

Alice:...you're joking, right?and you still think they deserve help?

Varakiel:you remember what i told you the night before right?this town will become the next one to have coexistence between humans and monters, just see alright? There would't be need of any intervention, apart from me telling the male's to come back.

Alice:alright, if you say so i will trust you on this one.

Luka:you are not coming alice?

Alice:i have no interest in helping these people.

Alice turned back toward the village

Varakiel:alright let's go luka.

Luka:alright!.

Varakiel:(lets see according to the map it should be around here.).

Luka:big brother if the harpies weren't forcibly holding the men there, why didn't any of them at least return to their families, or at least explain what's going on? They actually abandoned the women on the village?

Varakiel:who knows, we will only know when we hear it from them, ah it seems we arrived.

There multiple houses where on a giant tree thats the harpy village.

Varakiel:well we are here...i don't see the harpies or men we must go see the queen...

Luka:alright big brother i am behind you.

Varakiel then moved to the top of the village while luka followed behind.

Queen harpy:hmm? And who might you be?

The queen harpy then flew down behind varakiel and luka.

Varakiel:hello harpy queen

Luka:uh...hello.

Queen harpy:do you need something from me, you two?

Varakiel:looks like we can talk properly thats good, my name is Varakiel and this boy here is my little brother luka.

Luka:hello!.

Varakiel:we came here from the village to the west the one you keep taking men from.

Queen harpy:oho, so you're here to take them back , are you? Mmhmhmhm.

Varakiel:Not necessarily actually, we know why you need the men, to repopulate and keep your species from going extinct, but you're are making life much more difficult for the women on the village, so we came here to see the reason men haven't gone back, after all i know your race is a rather peacefully one if they are not provoked.

Queen harpy:oh my it seems you have done your research on us, but i must say than they're the ones that couldn't live peacefully with us, their suffering is their own doing.the men are all more than welcome to go back if they really want to. and if the villagers want their men back so badly, why don't they come and get them?.

Varakiel:geh as i expected...

Luka:what is it big brother?.

Varakiel:the idiots forget about the village completely.and for one thing at your question, your highness...

Harpy queen:fufu, continue.

Luka:they think you're killing the men.

Queen harpy:that's preposterous.why would we do something like that?it shows how foolish they really are.

Varakiel:indeed they are foolish, but thats the only conclusion they could get after noticing the men not coming back.

Queen harpy:i may grant you that, it would be the same if they kidnapped one of my brethren and didn't hear anything about her.

Varakiel:they don't understand monsters at all, every human in this continent is raised to believe that monsters are evil.the problem come when they never seen a monster in their lives.they don't understand that you're really no different from them, but they're not evil and neither your race.if just went and talked to them about the problem, i'm sure they would understand.but if you steal their men you will only reinforce their prejudices and make them hate you even more.

Queen harpy:.....

Varakiel:as a ruler and a good queen i know you want the best for your race, so why not we resolve this peacefully?.just be patient with them.

Queen harpy:...

Varakiel:...

the queen harpy and varakiel looked at each other.

Luka:just let us talk with the men, we know you need them, but my big brother believes there is a good solution.

Queen harpy:....

the queen harpy stayed silent thinking over it.

Queen harpy:i suppose it couldn't hurt....alright, i'll send everyone out.if you really believe there is a better solution that'll work out for everyone, then i certainly won't object.but we also need them, and i won't allow our species to die out.understand?

Varakiel:thank you your highness, i promise you we will solve this don't worry.

Queen harpy: good. Just give me some time to set up a meeting.

The queen harpy flew off.

Luka:you believe we can do it?.

Varakiel:of course leave it to me.(thank you ng+ writers i fucking love you).

Then the mens come down, and varakiel and luka spoke to them about the situation.

Youth:so, they were waiting for us to come back...?

Chief:ha ha! What a crazy misunderstanding!

Varakiel:see.

Luka:....this is ludicrous.

Varakiel:alright everyone, you need to go back home and explain what's going on.then you can work out an arrangement with the other villagers.

Harpy:but we need the men too!, and they don't want to go home, anyway!.

Chief:now now...i'll go back home and explain the issue.

The queen harpy flew down.

Queen harpy:i'll go as well.

Varakiel:alright then lets move on everyone.

Luka:are you sure about this your highness?

Queen harpy:someone has to go show them we aren't hostile. And i'm not about to send another harpy in my place.

Varakiel:back to the village, then!

--------------------------------------------------------

Then Varakiel and luka went back to happiness village with the elder and the queen harpy.

Elder wife:this is outrageous!

Chief:but they're our families now, too!

Queen harpy:all of your husbands and family members are alive and safe.they aren't being held against their will. If you want to go see them, go to the village yourselves.

Elder wife:you...you did this to my husband!

Queen harpy:we didn't do anything except keep them happy.

Varakiel and alice from far away heared that and could't help but laugh.

Elder wife:you!

Queen harpy:like i said, it's up to you.if you want to come to a compromise, then go to our village and we'll talk there.just remember, we have to survive, too.

Elder wife:you're horrible

Queen harpy:your false goddess's petty crusade against us helped drive us into this corner.perhaps you should take it up with her, first.

Luka:....you are really not helping.

Queen harpy:well, i hope we can come to some sort of compromise, regardless.

I really don't like this any more than you do, but we had no choice we were facing extinction.I apologize if i came off as rude. I hope you'll at least try to understand.

Elder wife:...

winking at varakiel the harpy queen talked.

Queen harpy:anyway...i'm sure Varakiel here will have no trouble leading you back to our village.you'll do that for me, won't you, Varakiel-boy?.

Alice:*puff*varakiel-boy? Jajajaja.

Varakiel:with pleasure.

Queen harpy:good. See you there, then.

The queen harpy winked at varakiel and then flew away.

Elder wife:ohh...what should we do?

Girl:let's go see them! I want to see dad again!

Woman:my son's still alive...?

Chief:yes yes, everyone is alive and well! Let's all go see them!this young man(remember varakiel doesn't age thanks to his armor) here can lead the way.

Elder wife:....hmph.fine. And i'll deal with you later.

Chief:honey, i can explain. Really!

Varakiel:alright...let's just get going.

So varakiel took the women of the village back to the harpy village to reunite with their families.

--------------------------------------------------------

Young woman:fa...father!?

Woman:mark! You're safe!

All the village women start to rush the men in joy.

The men are dressed normally, and look healthy. It's obvious they weren't being forcefully held here...

woman:mark! What happend to you!?

Mark:M...mother...let me introduce you to my wife, piana.

Mark points to a harpy standing next to him.

Mark:and....this is our daugther, pipi.

Pipi:...grandma?

The tiny harpy walks up to the woman and flaps her wings.

Everywhere you turn you would see a similar scene....

Young woman:father....what do you mean?

Father:aa....well...what i'm saying is...reina is your new stepmother.

Reina:..ni....nice to meet you....

a harpy that looks to be around the same age as the young woman introduces herself.

No matter where you look....

elder:impossible.. the traveler we sent in here a year ago...

former traveller:ah...i'm not a traveler anymore....i actually have seven children now.

It seems all the kidnapped men got married to a harpy....

old man:it's like that...now can we please stop this fighting?

Young man:they are our wives and chilren...so please don't hurt them...

woman:so this harpy...is my granddaughter...?

young woman:my stepmother...is a harpy?

Chief:that's right. These harpies are our family now.the harpies are our family, and so are the village women. We shouldn't allow out two families to fight each other.

Young man:that's right! My mother's family is now piana's family too. Let's stop fighting!

Village men: that's right!

Varakiel:....

Luka:....

As all the village women are standing around looking dumbfounded. The queen harpy starts to speak.

Queen harpy:see, i told you they were okay.we didn't want to do it, but we had no choice.we would be unable to breed if we did not borrow human males.we don't want to die out. You can't just take them all away...

Harpy A:we never hurt any of the men, we made sure they were happy....

Harpy B:that's right, the men are too important to injure or force them against their will...

Luka:the men were happy here...

Chief:of course!! they made me feel young again! Every night...

Elder:i see..... can i talk with you over there for a second?

Chief:hii! Honey, i'm sorry! Really!

Varakiel:luka are you thinking the same as me right?

Luka:yeah

varakiel and luka said at unison while face palming themselves.

Varakiel and luka: this is ridiculous.

Man:i'm sorry... i have three more wives now.....

woman:and how many kids?

Man:seven...two more next month...

young woman:i'm glad father's back now, but....i have two stepmothers and six stepsisters now...?

similar disputes start to pop up everywhere.some families look like they're about to start fighting each other.

It seems like the harpies aren't willing to let any of the men return.

Luka:awawawa big brother everything is getting out of hand what should we do?

Alice:yeah mr.Talk , what should we do?.

Varakiel:shhh! Just observe okay?.

Alice:....

Luka:.....

chief:everyone is a big family! Wouldn't that be the best!

The village chief yells out while his wife wrings his neck.

Young man:that's right!

Man:let's combine the happiness village with the harpy village in one big family!

Woman:since my son is married now, and i have a bunch of grandchildren, i don't really mind...

she might be happy that her son is married, but can she really handle having so many daughter-in-laws and grandchildren...?

Alice:Varakiel....i don't think this will work perfectly but it actually might work and they would solve it by themselves .

Luka:i agree.

Varakiel:haha looks like you believe on it now.

--------------------------------------------------------

The arguments continue into the night....

Queen harpy:well then...we won't forcibly kidnap men from the happiness village anymore.

Elder:hnm. We will send men from our village to marry harpies. in return, the harpies must also help with the farming and beekeeping in our village.

Eventually they reached an agreement.

After that, they started to prepare a festival. Harpy and human alike are dancing drunk in the village square.

Woman:this is all thanks to you. On behalf of everyone in happiness village, allow me to thank you.

Varakiel:gladly, this little one here wish to become a hero it was his idea to come here.

Woman:i see then boy we thank you jaja.

Alice:if you want to show your appreciation.....i love sweet things.

Varakiel:of course you do haha!.

Woman:ok! We'll give you plenty of happiness honey. Right now we only have enough for one jar, though.

Alice:oh....this was unexpected.

Luka:i'm sure yeah right.

Varakiel:remember to save some of it for the meal of tonight alice!.

Alice:oh!right i must not forget that by any means!.

Luka:but....if they already have wives, how can you convince the men to marry a harpy?

Luka mutter to himself while watching them dance in the plaza.is like sending them out as a sacrifice.

Varakiel:it sounds like the cliche history of a town sending the pure child as a offering to calm a dangerous beast JAJAJA.

Man:almost but we actually send them to be happy JAJAJA, don't bother worrying, young man.with this our villages our villages will join together in peace, and forge a deep bond.most importantly, once you feel the pleasure a harpy can bring, a human won't do it for you anymore.

Luka:sir...your wife is standing right behind you...

Varakiel:then what do you think, alice?

Alice:it's sweet!

Alice is happily licking her honey-covered fingers.

Varakiel:OI! Not eat it all, leave something for later!.

Alice:OH! Right, control yourself, alice!.

Luka:if the harpies had just asked for this arrangement from the start, could't this whole situation have been averted?.

Alice:you still don't get it?the humans hated the monsters before. Why would any of the men voluntarily leave? You idiot.

Varakiel:i would have gone if they asked me ajajaja!

Alice:shut up pervert!.

Varakiel:besides than's not necessarily true. There is a place in the gold region, succubus village, that men were flocking to just to have sex with a succubus.

Alice:....damn perverts.

Varakiel:won't deny that jaja.

After a while the queen harpy fell down near varakiel alice and luka.

Queen harpy:you did so much to help everyone...

Luka:it was nothing, really.

Varakiel:exactly, you just needed to talk isn't alice? Jajaja.

Queen harpy:i can feel than you varakiel are quite strong too, aren't you? The strongest human i've seen...

Varakiel:ara, i been unmasked it was that easy without me fighthing? Jaja.

Queen harpy:mhm i can sense it quite easily. Everything from the way you look to how you act, it's obvious you're no average human.also, that harpy than luka fighted said his skill was pretty good for a boy like him, and the way you treat him you must be his master isn't.

Varakiel:im more like a father but master works too.

Luka:the harpy? Oh yeah, sorry about that...

queen harpy:she is unhurt so it's okay, don't worry.

Queen harpy:but anyway, once you're done out here...why don't you come up to my treehouse and i can properly reward you for all your trouble?

The queen harpy said while she gave a wink to varakiel.

Varakiel:hoho?i like the sound of that jaja.

Queen harpy:come up later, will you?and come alone.

Varakiel:alright see you later.

Queen harpy: great. See you there.

Then queen harpy flew away.

Alice:really, varakiel?

Varakiel:oh, jealous alice?you would prefer i reject her and i go to you instead?tell me?.

Alice then looks away slighly blushing.

Alice:just don't take a lot of time you, idiot.

Luka:what are you two talking about?.

Varakiel:is nothing luka jaja

Varakiel then leaned to alice.

Varakiel:not worry my little princess, you will have your fun eventually jajaja!.

Alice:hmph.pervert.

Varakiel:alright, i will take the honey i don't want you to eat it all out of jealousy jaja.

Alice:oi!give it back.

Varakiel then saves the honey on his inventory and quickly hands over dozens of strawberry milk to alice.

Luka:AH! Give me one!.

Luka then started to drink one them.

Alice what is this?

Varakiel:strawberry milk, share it all with luka, when he is tired everything is yours.

Alice then takes a taste of the milk.

Varakiel:so how is it?

Alice:is great~♪

Varakiel:haha alright then i will go with the harpy queen not miss me too much.

Alice:hump, pervert.

Alice then picked up another milk.

Alice: so good.

Later that night...

Varakiel went up to the queen harpy's house like she asked.almost everyone else was sleeping by now, alice too.

Queen harpy:hmhm, so you came.

Varakiel:i said i would.

The queen harpy appeared right in front of varakiel, naked

Varakiel:beautiful as imagined.

Queen harpy:fufu i appreciate the compliment, someone like you deserves something special, don't you agree?

Varakiel:really?...you really don't have to do this if you feel in debt with me you know.

Queen harpy:silly, i really wish to, someone in a position like mine...we won't take just any man we can find, such as the ones in the village.only the absolute best of men deserves the pleasure of mating with me.however....it also gets rather lonely, sitting up here while the other harpies get to have all the fun.i was waiting for someone like you to come along. Someone who would make the perfect mate for me...

you even caught the eye of the monster lord. But something tells me you aren't spoken for, yet.so how about stay here with me and we can save the harpies from extinction? What do you say?.

The queen harpy seriously wants varakiel to stay with her, but...

Varakiel:now i have a counter offer, why don't you come with me?.

Queen harpy:...*sigh*you know is bad manners to answer a question with a question?.

Varakiel:yep jaja....im sorry but i can't do that.

Queen harpy:...che, i figured out you would say that....just for tonight, then. We can go at it all night, no strings attached. And then you can set out tomorrow....would that be better?

Varakiel:better?, lady to me you are already mine in my eyes jaja,

Queen harpy:yours? fufu what a bold statement.

Varakiel:not only you are mine, the monster lord, the heavenly knights and who knows maybe ilias wahahaha.

Queen harpy:.....hahahaha you are really and ambitous and fearless men, i never meet someone like you before, i like it.

Then the queen harpy calmly approveches varakiel and he transforms his cloths into rings.

Queen harpy:hoho, what a convenient trick for a human.

Varakiel:hahaha *whisper*i have a lot of tricks to show you tonight, your highness.

Queen harpy:eepp!!.

the queen harpy spine shivered because varakiel words.

Varakiel:this will be a long night i hope you are prepared.

Queen harpy:w-what did i get into

--------------------------------------------------------

Next day morning

elder:we are indebted to you, traveler.

Woman:please come to our village again, we'l be glad to have you!

Queen harpy:even though we had our reasons, we were still wrong. Because of you, we were able to correct it, i wish you a safe journey.and not forget about me while you're out there.

The queen harpy then gave a wink to varakiel.

Varakiel:the next time there would be more time to have fun, so not feel too lonely without me jajaja.

Alice:hehehehe...varakiel had sex with the queen harpy...

Varakiel:hoho you aren't as jealous as i though.

Alice:why would i be jealous, you gained that fairly, just don't go sticking your dick into some vore thing and get eaten.

Varakiel:jajaja now i like you even more alice jajaja.

Alice:shut up idiot....

Elder:...is everything okay? You two keep whispering...

Varakiel:oh is nothing, we are talking were to go next don't worry...alright luka, alice lets go already.

Youth : thank you! Come play with us again!

Young woman:please be safe!

Harpies:heehee....come and play again! We'll be glad to be your partners then...

then everyone head out of the village and get their way to ilias port.

Granberia:took you long enough

Varakiel:haha sorry about that, they decided to hold a party to celebrate the coexistence with them.

Granberia: so in the end you actually did it. Great job i guess.

Luka:ohh first time i hear granberia praise that highly!.

Granberia:not let it get over your head alright.

Luka:uhhh sorry.

Alice:haha finally tonight my special dinner with happiness honey!.

Then everyone decided to camp half way to ilias port

at night after dinner.

Alice:aaaaa such a great meal.

Luka:i am surprissed there was enough for me, you didn't said that was the last jar?

Varakiel:i kind managed to get the taste of the honey with other things but is not very good cost effective (damn thing on the shop was 30G').

Alice:then i will eat this one out.

Alice then grabs from who knows where a honey jar.

Varakiel:oi you had more with you?

Alice:mhm, what about it?

Varakiel:*sigh* forget about it give me some i want to taste the single thing.

Alice:too bad i eat it all, there is some in my fingers though.

Varakiel:not provoke me alice, or tonight i am not letting you sleep.

Alice then slighly blushed

Varakiel then suddenly grabbed alice hand and licked them.

Varakiel:mhm the single thing is very sweet.

Alice:...pervert.

Varakiel:ummm, i'm kinda getting a little cold tonight maybe if i cuddle with someone and she wraps me around her tail i will sleep confortably.

Alice:..ghu, ill go to sleep.

Varakiel:jajaja....good night , little princess.

Luka:*yawn* i guess ill too, big brother good night.

Varakiel:good night luka.

Varakiel then made his way to where granberia was.

Varakiel:hi granberia.

Granberia:oh its you varakiel, what is it?.

Varakiel:nothing, i just to see if you want to chat or something like friends do.

Granberia: i see....tell me about your sword and shield.

Varakiel:what do you want to know?

Granberia:what they are made of, how and why the shield is repaired if i remember i broke it on out fight at iliasburg.

Varakiel:well the shield was actually completely broken, but i have a way to repair it.

Granberia: another world method?

Varakiel:yep.

Granberia:impresive, and tell me about your sword!.

Like a teenager talking about their favorite group granberia started to ask.

Varakiel:(she is really a fan of weapons jaja, is cute seeing her like that

Granberia:mmm? What is it varakiel why are you looking at the face?.

Varakiel:nothing i was just thinking you look very cute talking about the thinks you like.

Granberia:c-cute?me?.....fine think what you want.

Varakiel:jajaja...alright, then about my sword well is actually a simple well crafted blade, it's particularity, is than both the sword and shield can change their shape at my will, for example if i need a short blade, i can change it , or if the opponent tries a tricky way to hit me i can change the shield.

Granberia:i see....

Varakiel:actually they kinda have a blessing if you call that usefull for me, they can't kill my oponent if i wield both of them, they will always leave them at the doors of death.

Granberia:hoho so you can say is like a bloodthirsty version of the angel halo solution?

Varakiel:kinda.

Granberia:no wonder you didn't give them to the boy, he wouldn't be able to handle too much blood jaja.

Varakiel:jaja, exactly after all when everything ends, he wouldn't want to be stronger anymore, unless...

Granberia:unless what? tell me i am intrigued.

Varakiel:we send him to other worlds to be a hero jajaja.

Granberia:jajaja i bet if he hears than there is people he can help he would gladly accept.

Varakiel:you know, you are unexpectedly talkative.

Granberia:hmph, you are the first one to match me in everything equally, of course i would wish to speak with you.

Varakiel:i see...i am honoured then of becoming your friend jaja.

Granberia:friend.....he, you really are something else....now tell me what do you think of that blade, the angel halo.

Varakiel:pretty ridiculous yeah.

Granberia:there are so many problems with it!

Varakiel:yeah the weight distribution and balance look completely off. The grip looks uncomfortable and awkward to hold.

Granberia:how are you supposed to slash at anything with a blade like that?.

Varakiel:you can barely call that a blade.

Granberia:mhm.

Varakiel:but luka can fight with it properly, is the legacy of the hero heinrich or something, i guess.

Granberia:legacy of the hero heinrich?what you don't know....

Varakiel:yeah luka is the descendent of the hero heinrich, the hero than defeated black alice, and out of rage to ilias used the angel halo to the point angel called him angel killer.

Granberia:hoho i see now thats impressive, they said black alice was the strongest monster lord.

Varakiel:it wasn't , it is, remember she's still alive.

Granberia:right you told us, but still i'm amazed the boy can use such a poorly-designed sword.

Varakiel:alright you should eat too.

Granberia:...hmph....fine i guess.

Varakiel:alright then i will practice too

next day in the morning.

Varakiel:alright everyone let's go move to iliasport time to move to sentora!.

Luka:OH! Finally we will leave to sentora!

Alice:hmm..if it's a port town, there should be a lot of foreign delicacies gathered from all over.

Varakiel:remember to not eat everything for the meal of tonight alright?.

Alice:of course

Granberia:finally we can leave this damned continent.

Alice:i'm getting excited. Let's go!

Varakiel:alright, off we go!

—

Alice:uhm?...it seems the protection of that petty goddess is not strong here.

Luka:yeah the farther away we get from ilias temple, the stronger the monsters we will face!.

Varakiel:oh, prepare luka!

Luka:what?

Then everyone disappeared except luka.

A leech girl appears.

Leech:a traveler? An unbaptized, too...you look delicious.

Luka with angel halo at hand prepares to fight.

Luka:here i come! Demon decapitation!

Luka deals 150 damage!

60/210

Leech girl:give me everything...

the leech girl quickly sucks on luka's penis!

Luka takes 12 damage!

Luka:kuuu....HA!

Luka attacks!

Luka deals 83 damage!

Leech:n...no way....

the leech girl was sealed by luka now a tiny leech, crawls away.

Luka defeated the leech girl!

Luka earned 200 experience points.!

Luka Is now level 6!

Luka Is now level 7!

Luka:alright.

Alice:finished? Good.

Varakiel:mhm. Alright

Luka:yeah...don't you think i've gotten pretty good?

Alice:kinda, but still not good.

Luka:eh...? i thought i got pretty good.

Alice:geez....

Luka:by the way, guys. When i'm fighting, where do you go?

Alice:hmm?we walk around, have some tea, maybe catch bugs , or chat a little, lots of things.

Luka:.....

Varakiel:thats right.

Granberia:that what we do actually.

Luka:.....basically, you're bored.

Alice:yep

Granberia:good guess.

Varakiel:exactly.

Everyone arrive to a muggy forest...

Alice:in these kinds of places, a lot of tropical monsters are likely to appear. But they don't seem to bother us.

Varakiel:i can imagine why, our little hero is scaring monsters now jaja.

Granberia:how can they hide from someone this weak.

Luka:.....

as everyone advanced suddenly a rafflesia girl appears!.

Rafflesia girl:perfect...it's time for me to be pollinated..hey will you mate with me?spread your seed all over my pistil...

Luka:no, can't do that.

Rafflesia:it won't be difficult..just leave everything to me. I'll make you feel so, all you need to do is ejaculate. I'll fulfill all your desires...aren't you lucky?

Luka:...(ok now i am pissed off).

Luka:HA! Demon Decapitation!

Critical hit! Luka deals 263 Damage!.

Rafflesia:no....my body....

the rafflesia girl grows, and turns into a normal rafflesia!

Luka:(it seems she can't move anymore, it looks like a normal rafflesia now.)

Rafflesia girl was defeated!

Luka earned 220 experience points!

Luka is now level 8!

Luka is now level 9!

Luka:mhm!

Alice:good lucky hit, idiot.

Luka:ah you are back, guys

Varakiel:guess you really were lucky there luka, you actually defeat it on a single hit.

Granberia:rookie luck and nothing more, later the least thing you would need is luck..

alice:....

alice then looks at the former rafflesia girl by her tail.

Varakiel:no bad alice, eating monsters isn't allowed.

Alice:what are you saying!? How could i eat a fellow monster!? I just wanted to have a taste of the petal....

Varakiel:fine.

Then varakiel crouches down to the rafflesia and cut a bit of the petal...

Varakiel:sorry, this is for the trouble...

Varakiel then left a toffee on top of the rafflesia.

Varakiel:here you go.

Alice:.....

Luka:...

Granberia:.....

Varakiel:what?.

Alice:you treat her like you were talking to a child, changing his treasure for a candy.

Varakiel:you want it or not?besides, it would grow back...

Alice:thanks i guess

then alice muches the petal.

Alice:bitter.

Varakiel:is a poisonous plant what do you expected?

Alice:....okay it was my fault, geez.

Luka:....

Granberia:ludicrous.

Then everyone continues forward.

Luka:according to the map once we're out of these woods, we should reach iliasport.

Varakiel:mhm, oh now that's a bad monster

Luka:eh?

Then everyone vanishes.

Roper girl appears!

Luka:hm.

Luka was all ready to fight.

Roper:it's been a long time since i last had a delicious treat...

Luka:.....(ghhh, this monster must be the kind than think of humans as food.i can't let her go!.)

Luka:HA! Demon Decapitation!

Luka deals 200 damage!

70/270

Roper girl:i'll play with you...

the roper shoots out a slimy tentacle and massages luka's body!

Takes 14 damage.

Luka:haa!

Luka attacks

luka deals 103 damage!.

Roper girl:what...is this...?

the roper turn into a tiny tentacle thing!.

The roper, now small, angrily waves its tentacle to luka before running away!

Luka earned 250 experience points!.

Luka:brrr, just imagining, if i wasn't strong enough, she would have eaten me.

Alice:i don't know why you even bother to let a monster like that live. She can't be redeemed.

Luka:uuuu.

Varakiel:leave him be alice, nothing in this world is perfect.

Granberia:....i agree.

Varakiel:alright everyone we should be near iliasport.(jajaja tamamo wait for me i am coming for that tail!)

--------------------------------------------------------

Tamamo:*achuuu*, is someone is talking about me?

nanabi: are you okay tamamo-sama you could't have catch a cold right?

Tamamo:kakaka i dont think so

--------------------------------------------------------

Luka:finally!

Alice:a place filled with seafood specialities...hehe, i'll look foward to it.

Granberia:finally we would be able to leave this damned country.

Soon everyone arrived at iliasport.granberia's waiting outside, as usual.

Varakiel:je granberia would have it more easy when we reach sentora.

Luka:yeah, she seems to have become big brother friend.

Alice:it surprise me the trust she got on you.

Varakiel:what can i say i have charmed the demon lord himself jajaja.

Alice:idiot....

Luka:is weird...for a port town, there is almost no people.

Varakiel:mhm(alma elma....)

Shopkeeper:of course there i almost no people. Since last year nobody has made a round trip to the sentora continent.there's a horrible storm. Every time a ship leaves the coast, it's hit by a huge storm.

Varakiel:ummm seems like we will need to find a solution to this problem.

Shopkeeper:oh are you perhaps heroes? That's great! But be careful, rumor has it that it's the work of a very powerful monster.

Alice:whoever his behind this, will receive my punishment, who she dares to block my enjoy of the foreign delicacies.

Varakiel:jaja.

Luka....how gluttonous can one woman be?

Varakiel:if i remember well there is a legend near here about a bell called poseidon's bell it's supossed to belong to the legendary pirate selene, it should be on a cave near here.

???:ah, my warrior! Right on top of things, as always!.

Varakiel:not again.

Unfortunate lamia appears!.

Amira:i am amira, an unfortunate lamia. A snake swaying in the breeze.

Luka:...

alice:....

Varakiel:why you followed us amira?

Amira:i am amira, a snake that chases love through time and space. I follow my darling, and sometimes go ahead of him to welcome him.i was the first monster lord, you know.

Alice:oi, don't joke about something like that. Idiot.

Varakiel:anyway we have to leave.

Then varakiel pick up alice and luka on his arms and walks away, but amira stops him.

Amira:wait, darling! I'm not just an annoying character. For my darling, i collected information from the "sort of" illegal information shop.

Alice still on varakiel arms said

alice:very well, but we'll only listen that alright?

Amira:quiet, you!

Alice:what..!? you..!

Varakiel:we not have all day amira be quick!.

Amira:for my darling, i'll tell him anything. My three sizes, from above, are [275] [78] [93].

Varakiel:....we are leaving

Amira:wait wait darling...there's more it appears that a little nine-tailed kitsune is currently in a cave to the east....in that cave lies the treasure of the legendary pirate captain selene.

Varakiel:bingo!.

Amira:in that treasure trove seems to be the legendary poseidon's bell. Carrying that bell, no matter how the sea rages, the ship won't sink.

Alice:hoho no matter the strength of the sea?

Varakiel:exactly....and what about the culprit from the storm.

Amira:there seems to be someone flying in the sea to the north, people than had survived said she has pink hair, horns, and a crazy body.

Varakiel:as expected.

Alice:ohh from your answer you seem to know who are they.

Varakiel:i have an a idea.

Alice:care to share it mr.future reader?.

Varakiel:i don't want to ruin the surprise jajaja.

Alice:hump, fine do whatever you want.

Varakiel:don't get angry here eat this meanwhile.

Then varakiel hands a toffee to alice.

Alice:isn't the same thing you gave to that rafflesia girl?what is it?.

Varakiel:is a candy dont swallow it, taste it meanwhile.

Alice:fine.

Then alice unwrapped the toffee and put it on her mouth.

Varakiel:happy now?

Alice:yeah ~♪

Varakiel:here one for you too luka.

Luka:thank you.

Amira:what about me darling?

Varakiel:sorry those were the last ones.

Amira:yet again my infortune strikes me with my darling...the information session ends here. Was i able to help you?

Varakiel:a little, i already knew this, but now i'm aware of the current situation.

Amira:then, i shall leave with the breeze.

Amira quickly crawls away.

Alice:poseidon's bell...it really works?

Varakiel:who knows but it doesn't hurt to check it out right?

Alice:i guess, if it doesn't work i bet you would beat the shit out of the culprit isn't?

Varakiel:something like that.

Alice:alright then what we are waiting for lets move out.

Luka:yeah!

Varakiel:mhm, let me put you down.

Alice:i don't think so.

Alice skillfully sits on varakiel shoulder.

Alice:Hmhm...you decided to carry me, i decide when i get down.

Varakiel:i hope you have fun up there then jaja.

Luka:.....ludricrous.

Alice:alright lets move, those sea delicacies are waiting me at the other side of the sea.

Varakiel:aye aye captain alice.

Alice:hoho i like the sound of that.

Luka:they look like kids and the kid here is me ugh...

outside iliasport.

Varakiel then took a look on the map.

Alice still on varakiel shoulders took a look on the map.

Alice: hmmm? thats a very well detailed map of the world, can I take a look?

Varakiel: sure.

Varakiel then hands over the map to Alice.

Alice: ooohh...hmmm? what.... I see.

Alice then proceed to read all the map, every part of the map was marked with special pointers indicating all kind of places, even the monster lord castle and the navel of the world.

Then everyone found Granberia and made their way to the treasure cave.

Granberia: what is happening now.

Varakiel: well she decided to stay there not that I care too much anyway.

Alice: granberia take a look at this map.

Granberia: hm?...

Alice then hands over the map to Granberia.

Granberia then with more interest than Alice reads it.

Granberia: since when you have a map this good alipheese?

Alice: is not mine, is his map.

Alice then puts her hand on varakiel head.

Varakiel: mhm...after all I need to point out every important place for not be lost and waste time.

Granberia: but it seems if we walk there we will arrive till the next day.

Varakiel: ah.

Alice:.....

Luka:.....

Granberia:...you forget to check out the arrival time isn't, *sigh*.

Varakiel: jajaja not worry we can just camp.

At night on the camp

Varakiel: it seems it was more far away than I though.

Alice: idiot.

Luka: well at least we can eat big brother dishes on the wild, it feels different than in a city.

Alice:...I'll agree with you on that.

Granberia of course left to start her training.

Alice:...luka, you have been doing well fighting it think it moment i teach you a new skill.

Luka:really?! Great!.

Varakiel:about time, alright i will just look.

--------------------------------------------------------

Alice: that's right.... stabilize your upper body. Step forward with your foot, and quickly thrust into the enemy as I showed you.

Luka: understood Alice.

Luka then step forward and lunge quickly.

Alice: Hmm...it doesn't look too bad, but not too good either. You need to try that in actual combat now, and not just training.

Luka: thank you Alice...this is an amazing technique!

Alice: hmhm it's said that [bloody Fernandez] mastered this technique, and covered the battlefield with her bloody thrusts. Using this [blood fissure thunder thrust] technique, she killed her enemies one after another, making a lake of blood.

Luka: that sounds like a very shady sounding, bloody technique...I will leave it on [thunder thrust]

Luka learned [thunder thrust]!

Alice: this technique is most useful right at the start of combat. That is, if you use it on, before the enemy can react you will unleash its full power. But after that it's power will be weaker. Choose wisely whether it's worth it to use the SP.

Luka: i get it, Alice!

Varakiel: mhm is a good technique....HM!

Varakiel then replicates the technique, but obviously in a masterful and powerful way compared to luka.

Luka: awesome big brother!

Alice: impressive as always.

Varakiel: ....

Luka: what is it big brother?

Alice: varakiel?

Varakiel learned [bloody fissure thunder thrust]

Lily:(host the skill you have learned can evolve with one of your skills please check it out).

Fuse Quick Attack and Bloody fissure thunder thrust?

 | Yes | NO |

Varakiel:(yes!).

Luka: big brother is something wrong-

Granberia suddenly stopped luka from speaking.

Granberia: shh he seems to have figured something with that technique.

Alice: hmhm it seems like it.

Lily:(by fusing the skills the host got the next skill: [Thunder Fissure Quick Attack]

[Thunder Fissure quick attack] Deals Dmg 200% DMG MP.20, thunder speed attack. Lv.1 (60)

Varakiel:..[thunder fissure quick attack]!

Varakiel then thrust at the nearby tree at a flashing speed.

*BANG*

Alice: hoho, it seems he created his own version of it.

Luka: incredible just by looking at it once, big brother is really awesome!

Granberia:...incredible indeed.

Varakiel: hmhm...truly good, I knew your techniques wouldn't be bad Alice jajaja.

Alice: hmph, who do you think I am.

Varakiel: my friend jajaja.

Alice:....

Granberia:.... jajaja seems like the monster lord first human friend is a crazy human.

Luka:.... hehe.

Varakiel: alright luka prepare.

Luka: what is it big brother?

Varakiel: now I will teach you a skill of myself.

Luka: OHHHHH!!!finally I am worthy to learn a skill from big brother.!!

Alice: hoho and what you will teach him?

Granberia: probably something crazy.

Varakiel: simple first...Granberia! Hit him!

Luka:eh.....EH!?

Granberia: hoho with pleasure!

Granberia then directly hits luka.

Luka: ugh!!

Luka receives 600 damage!

300/900

Varakiel: now luka sit down like this and meditate.

Varakiel then sits in a meditating pose.

Luka:...okay

Varakiel: you two not make a sound alright.

Alice:.....

Granberia:.....

Luka quietly meditates.

Luka recovers half of his missing health!

Luka: ah! My wounds healed!

Alice: what!? Is that something you can teach!?

Varakiel: jajaja! it worked as I though.

Granberia: as you though? You knew this would work?

Varakiel: exactly, you have heard the history of the fallen angel erigora? since luka is half angel, he can use it too. But it seems he being half-angel made his wounds heal only by half.

Granberia: it seems so

Alice: varakiel are you perhaps an angel too since you use it too?

Varakiel: oh no that one is completely different, what I do is use the surrounding mana to heal my wounds instantly.

Alice: THATS EVEN WORSE! how a human can have such control over mana!

Granberia: and in the end he indeed taught him something crazy. *sigh*

Varakiel: jajajaja.

Luka Learned [Meditation]

On luka dream world.

???: luka...oh brave luka....

Luka:...Ilias?

Ilias: we met again little luka.

Luka: It is good to meet you again, granny Ilias!

Ilias: tell me how you feel about going with the monster lord.

Luka: Well, I feel than big brother trusts her like me.

Ilias: i see but luka brave luka you must take a close look to the monster lord so she doesn't make a mistake and hurts varakiel alright?

Luka:... I get it!

Ilias: then until we met again goodbye.

Luka: goodbye!

Luka waved his hand at Ilias.

The next morning.... everyone arrived at the cave, and everyone stepped in
