[Bond point of view]

So my family is... that's to be expected but why. I had braced myself all this while, but why is this feeling still flooding me. Are my oath to Cupid's and Elsa's families nothing more than a self comfort, to cover my own sadness. How could I leave them be when they needed me the most.

How could I

"So you're Bond, the one that Ash had told me" [?]

"Your highness!?" [Kiserre guard]

An old royal lady, and judging by the fact that all of them bowing to her, she must be Queen Rinz

"My condolences to each one of you, and my apologies for disturbing you when you're in great sorrow, but my presence here is to personally thank all four of you" [Queen Rinz]

"?" [Other]

"Perhaps we should use the tent over there" [Queen Rinz]

[Saint Louis point of view]

"Damn you" [Horse beastman]

"He's strong" [Lizard beastman]

"This church guy, just who is he!?" [Antelope beastman]

The group of beastman slave trader curses me non stop.

"Repent" [Saint Louis]

"What was that!" [Horse beastman]

"Repent for your action, for Goddess Achalasia will surely accept those who repent" [Saint Louis]

"F*** that! She and her teaching had discriminated us all!" [Horse beastman]

"A guy like you who didn't know any hardship to begin with!" [Dog beastman]

"..." [Saint Louis]

I have no capacity to bring them to the headquarters. My mana aren't as abundance as Ash, so it will be near impossible for me. But, simply releasing them will bring more harm than good, and worse come to worsy, the child elves will get kidnapped. So...

"I will release all of you, but can you promise me not to kidnap those elves?" [Saint Louis]

"None of your business!" [Dragonewt]

"For The True Beastman Group, we won't stop!" [Grasshopper beastman]

Just like what I expected.

"Then die" [Saint Louis]

"..." [True beastman group]

A fine light needle, pierce each of their brain stems, putting them to sleep before slowly and painlessly ending their lives. If only you didn't commit such heinous crime, I wouldn't need to kill you.

"Me, Saint beloved by Goddess Achalasia, what a joke..." [Saint Louis]

Do someone like me, really worthy of such title?

Do someone like me, really worthy to govern the church?

(It doesn't looks like there's more of them, and the elves and fairies are all hiding perfectly that K couldn't detect them) [Saint Louis]

After burying them, I continue my journey

_________________________________________________

Alice have taken a serious blow, when all her hard work seemingly go down the drain as they're some of them who didn't even know what is a challenge dungeon. Guess I should explain it in her stead

"Alright, listen up, I'll tell you about country, dungeon, and wormhole first, then only I'll explain about challenge dungeon" [Ash]

"But we already knew about that! Just tell us about challenge dungeon" [Kadeus]

"Oh really, mind explaining it to me" [Ash]

"Su... sure..." [Kadeus]

Like previously mentioned before, the world of Achalasia is basically a series of countries floating around in space connected through a wormhole. Inside that said wormhole lies a dungeon, and that's the only way one could travel from a country to another. Now, you might ask, just how is such a thing possible, well, I don't know about it as well. They're several mysteries that Goddess Achalasia purposely left blank (like watcher) as to let me find out for myself, and not to mention, the mysterious ancient tunnel created by the traveler king that somehow connects one country to another, even spanning through the dungeon

Also as previously stated, the country are protected from the threat of monsters inside the dungeon through the huge goddess orb

"Yup, totally knows that" [Kadeus]

"Just listen till the end!" [Qis]

"Right" [Kadeus]

Thank you for that Qis

Now, as for the random malignant wormhole, they're a wormhole that can suddenly appear out of nowhere, they're rare but not to said they never happen. And when they do happen, they will connect two random point, whether it's connecting dungeon to dungeon, country to country or dungeon to country

And as for Kadeus and others questions, about the challenge dungeon, they are like those dungeons inside video games back on earth. They didn't serve the purpose of connecting two countries, and in fact, they serve no other purposes other than to be explored. They contain more powerful monsters as well as a boss monster that one should defeat at the end of the floor, that's the only way to close the challenge dungeon.

"And not to mention, an adventure like you should know about challenge dungeon, they have some of the best treasure chest one could find" [Ash]

"""Best treasure chest!!!""" [Singa, Savel, Charlotte]

"That's right! From weapon to accessories, they're of the highest quality" [Diana]

(And from what mother said, the tree of life reside inside a challenge dungeon as well) [Farhah]

"Then what are we waiting for! Let us go and conquer this challenge dungeon!" [Kadeus]

~Hit~

"That hurt..." [Kadeus]

"Didn't you hear him, its dangerous, so don't simply rush in" [Samurai Jacks]

"Jacks is right, so for now let Bobunny accompany each one of you" [Ash]

I ask Bobunny and its clones that are burrowed inside the ground to show themselves, and ask them to protect the kids

"How come it didn't protect us back then?" [Mara]

"Well, one of the clones weaknesses is that it couldn't really make decision on its own, so you have to tell them" [Ash]

"I see, should remember this" [Rean]

"Will you remem..." [Muse]

"Sorry to disturb you trying to flirt with Rean, but just register your mana to any one of Bobunny clones, that way they can always knows your location" [Ash]

"Then let us register our mana together Rean, as a practice for the future "To be honest, I'm actually impressed with your pick up line just now" [Ash]

"Brother Ash!" [Rean]

And once they're all done, we enter the challenge dungeon, and was quickly presented with three different path

"Guess we will spilt up immediately" [Female elf adventure]

"Right from the start, guess we don't have the luxury to explore together" [Liyana]

"Then how about making it fun? We can race with each other and the group that defeat the final boss first is the winner" [Mile]

"Sound fun! I'm in" [Ray]

"Why did I feel like our group will have the biggest disadvantages..." [Lily]

"Well, the other have The Saga, the paladin of demon kingdom, the elemental archer as well as the behemoth slayer to begin with, but beating them all will leave us with nothing but satisfaction" [Muse]

"A fine point of view" [Female paladin adventure]

A race, sound fun, and all of us agree to it.

"Didn't looks like any one of them could host a trap" [Naoto]

"Agree, then any path should do" [Khamishah]

"I'll take this path!" [Charlotte]

"Sure, let us go" [Aries]

Charlotte quickly choose the middle path. Jacks decided to use the right path, while Khamishah use the left

"Brother Ash, which path should we use?" [Zerolith]

"Why did the four of you stare at the ground?" [Savel]

"Weird..." [Singa]

"Brother Ash, the floor is..." [Karon]

""Give us earth mana more"" [Lara, Nara]

"Alright kids, we will do a speed run and beat all of them!" [Ash]

"Speed run?" [Other]
