Some of the commoners blamed the nobles and royalties for failing to protect them.

Some were quite sad and wanted to vent theor frustration so fights were occasionally seen.

​​

There were some individuals or families decided to move into the Lodging Area as they deemed it much safer than the city.

Besides the safety it was also harmonous as soldiers maintain the law and order without being abusive.

There are also many opportunity in the town as the amount of Mana in it is much higher than in the city.

The reason for this is because of the Hidden Camp as trees and other living beings in there exudes Mana and with the orc and griffon corpses two high quality meats being feed or burried in there the monster and plants received great nourishment.

Other than this once Yshelia finish creating the barrier it could absorb the Mana in the surrounding and increase the quality of health of the residents living in it.

Yshelia's reputation have also rose to the degree that she was now called a goddess in the city.

Her looks that could captivate most men her wings that was extremely beautiful and the power she have shown during the invasion.

Actually the nobles that have survived in the invasion have all considered proposing to Yshelia or just about any humanoid woman in Shadowslash's group as they could receive wealth and security immediately.

Of course none of the nobles have made a progress yet as they couldn't even strike a conversation on any of them.

Iria and Erz were aloof as they felt that only those that are powerful would have a chance to court them.

But their standards were just too high as they compare them with the likes of Shadowslash or Sans.

These two individuals could bring down a kingdom with just their abilities and strength to compare them of course there were no one who successfully court them.

Leafinia and Herish were considered as goddesses and other than those they are teaching the art of healing they normally don't talk to anybody.

Elsa is in love with Shadowslash as a demi-human the stronger you are the more attractive you are to them.

Her little sister is also the same as her for Quinshi she would normally stay in the Hidden Camp or riding Snow in the Sanctuary.

Her daughter would stay in the Hidden Camp whole day sorting out documents and other stuff for the group.

Shena would normally train her knife skill in the Hidden Camp besides that she is the cook of their group so she would normally be busy.

For Yshelia it is much more impossible as nobody have saw her since yesterday as she dislike talking to anyone else other than those from their group.

While the whole town and the city was being rebuilt Shadowslash was getting nearer to the Archiviel Dukedom.

After travelling without sleeping nor eating Shadowslash was mentally exhausted.

He just kept on running as for Banjo which was quite too far from him he was both physically and mentally tired.

Even though Shadowslash told him to rest he desperately tried to catch up even a little bit.

He would fly while sleeping causing him to sometimes crash and fall.

Both of them are determined to finish the portal that could connect the Sanctuary back to Safehaven Paradise.

Three days later Shadowslash manage to arrive in the territory of the Archinviel Dukedom.

He then speeds up towards the Howling Ridge he did not appear as to not cause any disturbance after all the Archinviel Dukedom was attacked by him in his fox form he do not wish for them to connect him to the horned fox.

Thankfully he is known to be a huge fox with 9 tails but only that he do not have any horns nor he released any demonic qi during his normal fox form.

After getting inside of the Howling Ridge he found out that there are numerous people guarding the entrance as there are also monsters that were commonly found inside of the Howling Ridge staying near the entrance.

It seems that the space distortion problem was getting out of hand so he silently went inside and with Hentai's guide he walks towards where the space turbulance is.

After a while he finally came face to face with the root of the space distortion in front of him is a black hole like thing that was destroying everything around it wether they are earth, air or Mana.

'Hentai what do I need to do next?' He then asks as he felt he was also being pulled by the black hole.

'Master do not need to do anything you just need to meditate below it and let me do the rest' Hearing this Shadowslash nodded he then transformed into his human form and immediately felt extremely weak after all he never rested nor have eaten anything during all this time.

He was nearly pulled by the black hole thankfully he quickly cover himself with the Mana and energy from the monster cores inside of Hentai's storage.

He then started walking closer to the black hole he was having difficulty as the force of pull is getting more stronger as he walks closer to it.

After getting below it he then sat in a cross legged position and Hentai immediately started extracting the black hole.

Shadowslash couldn't absorb any energy nor Mana in the surrounding as the black hole destroyed everything so he just starts to clear his mind of everything.

Suddenly he felt the air is started coming back again and even though there still no Mana coming back it would be just a matter of time for it to return.

He then breaths in the fresh air as he started to meditate knowing that in this state he is semi-conscious as if he was sleeping.

He knew that his body is extremely weak right now because of hunger and exhaustion so he first solve the problem regarding exhaustion since he could not access Hentai's storage since it was busy extracting the black hole.

Hentai was doing its best as to stabilise the space distortion it needs Banjo to fully obtain the secret realm but since it was still extremely unstable it needs to first stabilize a portion of the realm.

Also the energy and Mana that was destroyed in the space turbulance was absorbed inside of the secret realm.

While Hentai was busy stabilising the condition of the secret realm Shadowslash entered the realm of enlightment regarding his way of the sword.

In his mind he was repeatedly doing the basics over and over again sword drawing, slashing, slicing, stabbing and blocking.

Since it is inside of his inner mind space he is the only one who could access this space and he would never be exhausted nor hungry as everything is illusionary.

His body started to become like a black hole as it started to absorbs all the surrounding Mana inside of the Howling Ridge.

Even the black hole only manage to interfere with the flow but couldn't absorb every Mana in the whole Howling Ridge but Shadowslash did.

Because he was deprived of Mana his body greedily absorbs it into his dantian LS who was sleeping inside of it was awoken by the large amount of Mana gushing into it.

LS was also quite hungry this few days even though he devours the Mana coming from the monster cores it was too low quality for him.

As he was joyfully started his feast Shadowslash's human body became a half fox and human form as his tails started appearing.

His dantiant started expanding his blood which was already high quality and his flesh which could be considered a top quality material also started to be filled with Mana.

First his heart the Mana started changing his heart as the Mana started to evelops it abd change it into a treasure this process would be extremely painful as this is tempering his heart.

Any person would be yelling in pain because of this but Shadowslash's wasn't conscious so he couldn't feel the pain as he was truly mesmerised by the feeling in his mind space as he corrected his mistakes and improve his swordsmanship.

LS who was inside of Shadowslash's dantian started affecting the Mana rhat filled the dantian space.

Because of his continuously and out of control devouring of the Mana liquid inside of Shadowslash's dantian he was overfilled by it so he now started releasing large amount of his dragon qi to assimilate the Mana to his core and body and just like Shadowslash he was also tempering a part of his organ with Mana.

The dragon qi he released caused changes in the Mana especially after it distribute themselves into Shadowslash's whole body increasing his yang qi in the process.

After a while LS would start to absorbed Mana once again before stopping this process would repeat as LS also started becoming stronger as the first organ he is tempering is his lungs.

Shadowslash have incorporated his enlightment to his very own sword art he created Starfield.
