As I turned towards the source of the voice, my eyes caught the appearance of a familiar person. A figure of a man waving from across the river next to the fence that bordered the big bridge. He immediately ran over the stone bridge.I recognized him when the distance between us shortened. The man ran past several merchants with their cargoes who were probably about to sell merchandise to Elvian territory. For a moment, the man seemed to have grazed a cargo. Of course the owner was angry, the man immediately apologized.What an impatient man! Running haphazardly like a child, even though he could do it more carefully. That's how Dimas, my only best friend.Seeing him heading here with a happy face made me couldn't help to run towards him. Dimas immediately hugged me tightly. The anxiety and worry he felt rushed through his arms. As if he didn't want me out of his eyes again. After all that had happened, I clearly understood his feelings. Me, too. So happy to see

Facing a big adventure ahead, I decided to practice Esze with Almira. I didn't know what I would go through later. But one thing, I couldn't expect a smooth road without any obstacles. Because that would never happen in real life.It could be that I lose my way while looking for hints or having trouble getting spirit crystals even though it was right in front of my eyes. Or maybe I would have to compete with other people who also after spirit crystals. The latter's possibility was thin because the information was limited, but who knew there were people out there with the same ambition as me. Moreover, the Spirit Crystal of Hope was able to grant anything even if it was impossible.I still couldn't think of any other worst-case scenario. I didn't even dare to imagine it at all. Let time make my mind ready to accept future reality.Earlier, I told my friends who were still in this town about spirit crystals, such as Kak Shella, Vian, and Vani. They seemed a little

This night was somehow so quiet. Maybe because of the heavy rain that has fallen since the afternoon, people were lazy to go out of their house. There were no paved roads in this city, so all the roads turned to muddy. Only in certain places such as the town center had rocky roads. So didn't expect the remote outskirts of the Dark Night's headquarters to have such privileges.There were indeed some people walking around out there, but they could be counted on by finger. There was nothing else to do here except sleep and spend the day with sweet dreams, except for criminals such as robbers and hunters who did work at night.Dimas and I were one of the few criminals. We did go out of the town gate into the woods not to hunt. But to escape as soon as possible from Glafelden.There was a squad of elite cavalries chasing me here. I didn't know what they wanted. It's definitely not a good intention. If someone from the capital wanted to meet me on good terms, they sho

The attack paralyzed the swarm of bats in front of the entrance. Their bodies were cut into several pieces like torn paper. Dark red blood splattered on the ground.No more bats dare to enter here. The sound of their flapping wings could be heard fading away. Perhaps realizing the enemy's greater strength, the bats decided to leave.The three of us remained silent in this place for a few minutes. Worried that it was just a ploy and attacked us when we were off guard."Are you all right?" I asked Dimas and Kak Shella."I'm okay.""I'm fine!" replied Kak Shella. "It's absolutely amazing! I don't know you are that magnificent!""It's not my power. This thing is too overpower." I raised the viglet in my hand so both of them could see it.Either Dimas or Kak Shella looked very impressed with me. Then stared at the black viglet with the ivory-colored pattern given by Prince Keylan with admiration. So did I. If I used a normal viglet, I woul

A second later, I immediately ran as fast as lightning towards the foothill. Even though we had already covered half of the distance, this meadow was too wide. The range between me and the foothill was roughly one kilometer. Getting there took a long time. I didn't know if we could reach the foot of the mountain any faster before the spider caught us up.I glanced back, nothing could be seen. The insect seemed to be still waiting underground. That was a bad sign. If it was stayed still, it means that the giant spider was confident that it could catch us easily.The three of us had been running as fast as we could for a while, but still, the foot of the mountain seemed far away. Dimas and Kak Shella were still lagging behind. The man held Kak Shella's hand so she wouldn't fall. It seemed that he had no intention of letting go of such a beautiful girl's hand. As if he would rather drag her away than leave Kak Shella. Dimas even brought her backpack, which looked big.
