As the last of the sixteen creatures Aurivy summoned, this one a giant black snake, fell to the ground dead, I couldn’t help but fall back as well. My breath came in hard pants, and I could see the health gauge above my head. It had not dropped down very low, still well over half. Yet, the fact that these creatures were able to do this much damage to me at all just showed how strong they were. Each of the sixteen were pinnacle creatures, no doubt referred to as disasters by normal people. Each and…-

“Phew.” Aurivy wiped some imaginary sweat from her brow as she saw the wolf being killed. “Okay, now where were we? So, just go ahead and use your mana to directly refine the spiritual energy. You learned how to do that a long time ago, right? The whole, mana in your voice thing.” She must have been referring to when I first started practicing the Spirit Tamer class, and had accidentally destroyed a spirit when I tried to communicate with it. I suppose I might have just used too much energy……

She’s awake now, Dale. Irena’s voice came to me a few hours after I had begun training, making me let out a long breath. My clothes were ragged, but quickly patched themselves up with a thought as I stood, stretching my arms. I’m on my way. I responded mentally to her, before focusing on shifting myself back to my room. My progress in the training… well, there was a reason that the room I was leaving was full of blackened craters. I had managed to find the measurement for a single unit of…

Having settled the immediate issue that was worrying me with the cultivation of the Perfect Soul, I debated on what I should do next. Leowynn had likely not yet awoken, so I could not descend to the world again. Though, just to make sure, I sent a brief message to Irena. How’s she doing? I asked, unable to completely hide the worry in my thoughts. Thankfully, it did not take long for Irena to respond. She’ll be fine. Irena sent back only a moment later, a hint of amusement in her tone. She just…

Once we got to the Admin Room, Leowynn immediately emerged from my body. “Sorry, father…” She muttered, shaking her head. “Just… give me a moment.” “You could have stayed inside.” I told her, raising an eyebrow. If anything, I had expected her to take the time to rest and recover in my spiritual realm while we were up here. However, she only briefly shook her head. “No… your spirit is still too strong. Normally, it’s fine. But right now…” I nodded as I heard that.…

“So now what?” Aurivy asked as we left the library, closing the doors behind us. In order to ensure that the people inside would not be disturbed, Tubrock had placed noise canceling enchantments on the walls and doors of the library. No matter how sensitive Tsubaki’s hearing was, she wouldn’t be able to hear us now. As for Trixy, I could still feel her presence moving further and further away towards her room. “I’m… honestly not sure.” I had to admit, taking a moment to think about it.…

Naturally, I had no desire to wait to handle the matter with the halfling representative. Once Scarlet and the rest of the rank ten spirits were gone, I began moving back into the Citadel. Since there was not as much of a rush this time, I chose not to take the elevator passage. Well, that and the fact that it was hard to judge which section of the wall was which floor. At least with the navigation perk I unlocked a while back, I could easily find my way to Trixy’s room, the path that it took simply…

It did not take us long at all to visit the kitchen. Though, when we did so, a surprising question came out of the halfling’s mouth. “Will we be able to hunt for our own food?” She asked curiously, glancing towards the meat locker. However, I had to shake my head to deny that question. “The only way in or out of the Sky Citadel is with the aid of Aurivy. It would be best not to bother her with requests like that whenever possible.” As I said that, I caught Aurivy sending me a knowing smile,…

As we continued to explore, we found a number of other hidden rooms. Like the transportation room, each one had its own unique function. In one room as the control for the Citadel’s main weapon, a magical cannon that harnessed Ryone’s divine power for truly devastating results. In another was actually a complete map of the Citadel itself, using the power of Udona showing the location of everyone inside of it. Of course, that map did not differentiate between people, monsters, or animals. Thanks to…

Author's Corner: Check out the new image in the gallery~. Aurivy's got something extra for you all. It took me a long moment to regain my composure after that surprise. I’d have to ask later how she managed to learn English, as there was no way that she had simply learned it by studying dungeons. Dungeons could write, but not speak, and you can’t perfectly reproduce an unknown language verbally without a proper sample. Shaking my head, I looked back to the rest of the group. “As you all know, I…
