After separating with the two sister princesses, Allen and Sara finally arrived at [ Spirit Falls ].

The first word Sara made was [ Wow ] as soon as she saw the Spirit Falls. It wasn’t clearly visible outside it since it just looked like a sea of bushes and trees but the moment Sara stepped between the two huge trees, she was greeted by an out of this world scene.

( Readers: There's no water falls!!? Me: It's behind behind the camera, just didn't entered the frame - LOL. Any case, just an image~ )

A waterfall sparkling under the sun and magical creatures drinking in the water.

The air was clean and fresh without any hint of smog.

The birds soared in the sky as free as the clouds floating above them.

Everywhere she looked was filled with the grandness of nature.

She surveyed the scenery around her, and the morning dew on the trees glimmered under the bask of the light.

Sara followed Allen with a dumbfounded expression. She never expected for this area to have this kind of place.

As she was looking around, at this moment,

“Allen! You finally came! Where were you these past few days?!” A feminine voice rang out. Its voice was like a child suffering from an injustice.

In the lake, under the waterfalls, the water suddenly rose up and slowly turned into a human silhouette.

“Sorry, sorry, I was locked in a battle against two Monster Kings so I couldn’t come.” Allen smiled innocently. His usual expression was farfetched from the one he had worn in front of other people.

It was like right now, he was a harmless little boy contrary to his usual appearance that was like a scheming adult.

Sara couldn’t help but frown in displeasure.

“Are you okay?” This time, the Earth rose up and materialized into a human silhouette.

“As you can see, I’m fine,”

Allen then brushed past the Earth Spirit and walked towards the water. Without caring about Sara’s existence, Allen stripped and submerged into the water.

“Hey!” Sara widened her eyes while looking at Allen’s body. She was surprised from Allen’s suddenly stripping naked. This caused her to feel shocked and embarrassed, but she quickly adjusted her emotional state.

She lowered her head a little, but her eyes were looking up at him as she fidgeted with the helm of her dress. She said in a soft voice that was barely audible to humans and said: “… This shameless bastard...”

Her actions were just like that of a child.

But still, she couldn’t help but praised Allen’s body.

Tall, handsome, and strong. Even if his skin was now a bit darkened which was unlike his original pale skin color and his youthful appearance seemed to have matured a bit, he still cut a rather heroic figure, and his face was so cool that she almost felt like she was being blinded!

Yeah, the tanned face looked better than before.

Even the silver hair gave him a unique sinister charm. Although his crimson eyes seem wicked, it did not hinder itself from being a part of the set of perfect facial features.

Saying he looked like a 'hottie' was not accurate. To be precise, he had a beauty that was neutral-masculine.

Devilish, yet somewhat heroic, that was Sara’s impression.

Allen ignored Sara’s reaction and relaxes in the water. He felt as if he was submerged in a hot spring, warm but not too hot or cold. It felt as if the water was running through his entire body.

This was why he had returned to this place… because the water here has somewhat amazing effects. It relaxes his fatigue mind and stressed nerves. Although he has no physical wounds, mentally he was actually quite stressed out…

Try fighting two monster kings in a nuclear, no, probably above level existence. They can already be said to be disaster level monsters and he actually fought them for several days without stopping or break – Damn, that was extremely tiring.

Most of all, his mind feels like it had been ripped open. Negative and evil thoughts surged from time to time…

Really, it’s really hard to suppress this curse… that damn Bataliel, does he want me to become an emotionless killing machine?

Allen cocked his head. Suddenly,

“What happened to you?” A small fireball appeared in front of him.

“Oh?” Allen was a bit surprised. The fire spirit suddenly appearing in front of him really came to him as a big surprise.

“What a surprise, you appeared~”

“I’m always here, you idiot…”

“Hehe, well, it’s nothing…” Allen answered. He was actually quite pleased as Spirits doesn’t really care about appearances so Allen had expected that his transformation will be left unnoticed.

However, the fire spirit had noticed it.

“I will be leaving soon, maybe today or tomorrow,” and so he said. After checking the Ghoul Dungeon, Allen decided to leave.

“… …”

The fire spirit didn’t respond, however, it was actually hovering around him. Allen shrugged his shoulders, not sure if he should be excited or not care at all, and continued relaxing.

Allen stayed for a couple of hours before leaving again. He grabbed Sara’s hands and left towards the Ghoul Dungeon.

Along the way, Allen briefly explained to Sara about the existence of the Dungeon. He planned for her to grind her skills and levels inside it before they leave this place.

Before entering, Allen gave Sara a Flame Dagger and several Skill Books that she might be able to use.

[ Consumption Healing ] - The power to heal oneself by consuming something.

[ Enhanced Durability ] - The power to sustain numerous blows of internal or external assaults.

[ Digestive Shapeshifting ] - Take the appearance of other creatures by eating/consuming a part of them.

Allen chooses these three Skills since Sara possess the [ Manticore Physiology ], the other skill books in his possession would just become redundant if he gave it to her.

As for the other good skills, Allen left it to for the other’s use…

Inside a Dungeon, there was no [ Party ] System. All the Experience Points will go the one who had killed the monster, let’s just say, it’s all about the last attack System Points.

As usual, Ghouls and Undead roamed inside the Dungeon. Allen will weaken it while Sara well finished it.

The Ghoul Dungeon was slowly being conquered this way and Sara’s Level was rising at an incredible speed. Right now, she finally reached Lv5 and it was still rising.

After few minutes of fighting inside the Dungeon, Allen finally gathered 100 Soul Stone, a prompt appeared.

[ Congratulations! You have gathered 100 Soul Stones and finally created Soul Orb! ]

[ Soul Orb – An Orb that can be used to trap and store at least 10 Souls/Ghosts to be used for other magic. ]

“Hoo~” Well, it might become useful in the future.

Allen stores the[ Soul Orb ] and continued helping Sara leveled up.

After almost half a day, it was a bit slower since Allen let Sara fight some Monster by herself to train her fighting capability and not just leech off of him as they ventured the entire Dungeon. In this way, Sara became even stronger.

Along the way, Allen and Sara acquired 12 Gold Coins and 7 Silver Coins. 3 Skill Books and two Items.

[ Mental Shutdown ] – A skill that gives the user an ability to completely restrict the flow oxygen to an opponent's brain by touching their head, essentially killing their victims via 'turning off' the brains of their targets, until they die from lack of oxygen.

[ Pyrokinesis ] - A powerful form of pyrokinesis, which allows the user to both create and control fire. Incinerating an enemy can also be performed using this technique, as long as the target is within range.

[ Dark Blast ] – The ability to release darkness/shadows on a specific target area and delivered great shock waves of pure force.

Items:

[ Bracelet of Insanity ( Rare ) ] – An Item that if worn can cause the wearer to become berserk, doubling his/her power. Last for 10 minutes, after the user will lose consciousness. Cooldown: One day.

[ Javelin of Intangibility ( Superior-Rare ) ] – If thrown, can pass through any obstacles once to pierce a target. When the target was hit, a shockwave will be generated upon collision.

Good Skills and Items…

Allen gave Sara the two skills; [ Pyrokinesis ] and [ Dark Blast ] and gave him the item [ Bracelet of Insanity ] since this item can complement her [ Manticore Physiology ].

As for the others, Allen stored it.

Currently, Allen and Sara had finally reached the [ Warrior’s Graveyard ] which was named by Allen – The final battlefield of the Dungeon.

And as expected the Ghoul King appeared.
