?After a couple of hours, we decided to take a break again. Even though we still had a long way to go to get out of the plain, we had made much progress. I even thought we would take a break earlier. But there was also an important side to this break. The night was approaching again. We had almost two hours to go. And I... I wanted to concentrate on what could be our ticket out of here. The place we chose to rest was nothing special. We simply collapsed where we were. Lucia and Sue stood off to one…-

?I stared after the disappearing wolves, unable to stop my lips from curling upward once again. I had managed to defeat my opponent unscathed. I had also found a way to heal myself. That aside... Now I had a much better grasp of what ordea was really like. If I could learn to use it properly and fully, it would be a much greater help to me than mana. Before, I had a hard time perceiving how effective it was, but now... it was different. I had succeeded, and it was all thanks to it. I turned to the…

?I just took a deep breath as the dungeon slowly began to change. Then I calmly turned toward Lucia and Sue. "A- Adrian? You're... okay, right?" I just smiled. I raised my arm in the air, clenched my fist a few times, and let it go. "I'm fine, for now." That wasn't enough, of course. I could see the worry in her eyes, but also the curiosity. "Let's get through tonight first. We can save the talking for later." Sue opened her mouth again, but this time it was Lucia who stopped her. When…

?'I don't know much about ordea or caora, but I've heard that caora is destructive and ordea is constructive. I've seen the effect of caora, and if ordea is the opposite, it could help me heal... right? Lithoa was silent for a while longer. But the silence did not last long. 'Ordea can indeed heal you to some extent. It won't be as effective as you think, because you've never trained and you don't know how to use ordea. So... you probably won't be able to use even a twentieth of its actual power. But…

?I just stared at the notification in front of me. I couldn't think of anything, I just stared at it. After a while... my lips involuntarily curled upward. My eye twitched slightly and I tried hard not to laugh. If this had happened before, I would have gotten angry and begged the stat to stop rising all the time. Now that I knew I would have even more problems, I would have hated it even more, isolated myself even more. Not that I didn't feel them, of course. I would have preferred my other stats…

?What can I do? I thought about this question again, just as I have been doing since the moment I arrived in this dungeon. But... I hit the same wall again, there was nothing I could do. I looked at Adrian, his eyes closed, lying unconscious on the hard floor. It had barely been half an hour since the duel he had won and he hadn't woken up yet. The events of the duel were still fresh in my mind. I had not only seen but directly felt how bad Adrian was, despite his pretense of being fine. And…

?I turned my eyes toward the lush green sky, looking for any spots that were starting to darken. But there weren't any, and wouldn't be for a while. At least not until a few minutes later. I sighed lightly, lowered my eyes again, and this time looked at the fire in front of me. Thanks to my mastery, it was easy to start a fire. All I needed was wood, and there was plenty of it in the plain. The fire was warm, almost comforting. Even more so considering how many days I had been deprived of heat. Not…

?First, my consciousness slowly returned. Then, even more slowly, my senses. The first thing I noticed was the green blur behind my eyelids. Then the sensation that screamed that I was lying on a hard surface, and finally the gentle howl of the gently blowing wind. I opened my eyelids slightly, but the movement quickly dazzled my eyes, the glare in the direction I was looking was... a bit too much. Nevertheless, I got used to it quickly. Soon, I pulled back the arm I was holding in front of my…

?This time... I died, didn't I? Using Mana Ascension for so long, trying to control an atmosphere full of mana must have absolutely killed me. But... I can think, doesn't that mean I'm not actually dead? What happened last time? I need to think... I remember seeing the wolf where Lucia and Sue were hiding, I activated my mastery and my ascension skill. Then I threw my spear toward the wolf. And then... I interacted with all the mana in the atmosphere, I tried to wipe all the wolves off the face…

?I have to do something. That was the first thought that went through my mind. The wolf was right in front of us. Even if it couldn't see us with its own eyes, it was aware that there was something where we were. It had found us and if I waited a little longer, it would really know we existed. But... what could I do? This wolf was a C grade creature and I was only D grade, and on top of that, I had to keep part of my focus on the mana around me at all times. The mana that was dormant in the…
