Altos straightened his back and looked at Liana. He was filled with confidence. “Why don't you leave while you can,” he said with a smile.

Liana shook her head and looked at him with a small smile, “You have already lost.”

Altos became unerved and looked around his surrounding. Stake heard what Liana said and got up from the ground as the goblin mages around him healed him. Stake sniffed the air and smelled nothing.

Altos looked at him hoping for an answer. Stake said nothing and sniffed the air again. The air made him reminiscented of his memories with Jill. He looked towards the east where Jill’s cabin use to be. He narrowed his eyes as he wondered why he was feeling dejavu.

Altos looked towards the direction Stake was looking, along with Liana and her allies. The army of goblins, humans, ants, undeads, beasts, and other variety of creatures looked towards the direction Stake was looking.

They looked for quite a while but nothing seems to happen. “Must be my imagination,” Stake spoke loud enough for everyone to hear. He turned his heads towards Liana but Liana didn't turn her heads towards him.

Stake suddenly hear very light footsteps and he looked back to the direction where Jill’s cabin was. From the darkness of the forest, Tesra walked into the light with a big smile and bright eyes. She was wearing a farmers outfit and she had a hoe in her hand.

“What are you doing in my forest?” Tesra asked sweetly.

Altos looked at Tesra and was sure he had seen her before. “Do I know you?” Altos asked.

Tesra nodded and pointed towards the tall tower in green flower, “We met at that tower, remember?”

Altos thought back to the tower and remembered the forest goddess and her apprentice. “Ah, so your..”

Before Altos could finish speaking, Stake tossed Nail’s body lightly towards Liana. Liana casted a spell and levitated Nail’s unmoving body.

“You should wake up,” Tesra said as she looked at Nail’s unmoving body.

Nail got up and sighed, he stretched his body and everyone looked at him with surprise. Stake and Altos immediately realized that they could have been surprised attack. For him to fake death so thoroughly, his mastery over mana was definitely high.

Stake regained his calm and looked towards Tesra, “We were just having a meeting, that's all,” Stake replied to Tesra earlier question. “Everyone let's go home.”

Altos looked at Stake incredulously wondering why he was backing off. He decided not to question Stake and followed after him. A message was sent from Stake and into his head. “Dont pick up the yeti’s body.”

Altos decided to follow Stake instruction and everyone soon left the battlefield. Tesra came up to the Yeti’s cold corpse and brought it back to life. The yeti got back up looked clueless around itself. It looked at Tesra and felt that she was its savior. It thanked her by giving her some of it's fur and it left back for it's home in the mountains.

Tesra watched the yeti hop away and looked back at the destroyed landscape. She casted a spell and spread her aura, immediately, the land started healing. After the land was fully green again, Tesra went back to the cabin where Fluff was waiting for her.

On a mountain peak, Stake sighed and went into the mountain. Altos followed after Stake with many question. “Ask away,” Stake said.

“Why’d you back off from that?” Altos asked.

“She had Jill’s scent,” replied Stake.

“I see,” Altos replied.

The two went deeper into the mountains. As they went deeper, Altos thought about how powerful Jill was, perhaps she was rank 5. They soon reached the place where they wanted to be. They were in a giant cavern with many white crystals around.

The crystals were special and were being mined. In the middle of the cavern was a gigantic crystal. In the gigantic crystal was a dragon that seems to be frozen in time. The dragon had silver scales with silver eyes. It had four limbs, two wings, two silver horns, and a sharp tail.

“Glote, how much have we mined?” Stake asked.

“About seven thousand drops of crystals,” Glote replied.

“Good, we're on schedule then,” Stake said.

In Green Flower, Nail was laying on a couch eating some chicken legs. His men messaged him from the back as he watched the fight in the arena below. Fulso and Vizer watched him eat with nervousness. Although they were grown men, they were still scared of Nail.

“Why are you afraid,” Nail asked as he took a bite out of a chicken leg.

“Um,” Fulso spoke with fear, “didnt we cause you trouble?”

“You did,” Nail answer caused Fulso and Vizer to tremble, “but it's ok.” Nail saw that Liana was coming to speak to him from outside the arena.

“Make sure your better prepared for your adventure next time, ok?”

Fulso and Vizer nodded quickly.

“Good then, your dismissed.”

Vizer and Fulso quickly left the arena. After a while, Liana showed up and she looked at Nail with relief. Nail pretended not to notice her. She became a little irritated since she knew Nail had already noticed her.

“Nail,” she said with care. Nail turned his head and looked at her, he smiled. “What do you need?” he said with a happy voice.

Liana didn't like how happy his voice sounded when he was with her, but she could deal with jt. “I want you to be more careful from now on, you didn't have to pick that fight, if it weren't for my prophecy, you might not have made it out alive.”

“Hehe, sorry to worry you, I'll be more careful next time.” Nail said cheerilly. Liana was satisfied with his answer and left.

After she was gone, Nail sighed and got back to watching the arena fights. Currently, Nail was very rich, he had power, money, and a lot of other things. Although Nail had these things, he kept feeling dead on the inside.

Nail thought back to when he was young, the days of struggle where he had to fight for survival seemed so long ago. Inside, Nail knew that he loved fighting. The reason he didn't step into rank 4 yet was because he was afraid of never finding a worthy opponents again.

In order to feel the things he felt during battle, he had once resorted to drugs. The drugs made him feel wonderful. Unfortunately, the feeling didn't last forever like a good battle. After fighting with Stake and Altos, Nail currently felt very alive.

Feeling joy only through fighting, Nail understood it wasn't a good mind set. Yet no matter how many times he turns away from fighting, it always came back to try and seduce him. Nail pulled out a knife from his pocket and started twirling it around.

As he looked at the knife spun, he wondered how many drops of blood this knife could produce. Outside the arena, Liana felt a prophecy. Immediately, Liana rushed back into the arena. She climbed up the arena stairs and saw Nail walking down the stairs casually with boredom.

Nail noticed her and came to her. He didn't say anything to her and she didn't say anything to him. Nail knew it was her prophecy that made her worried about him. Liana knew that Nail knew she received a prophecy.

“Wanna go fishing?” Nail asked neutrally.

Liana nodded and they both went towards the river to fish. After reaching the river, they went further up the river towards quieter places to fish. They found a tree by the river with shades and they decided to fish under it.

They took out their fishing rods and casted the hook into the water. The river was calm and silent. There was no one around the two of them. They were very far from the city.

“Do you want to talk about it?” Liana asked softly.

“Not really,” Nail replied as he watched his bubble float up and down.

“I know you aren't feeling happy Nail,” she said calmly.

“I know I'm not feeling happy too,” Nail replied calmly, “I just don't know how to live on with happiness at this point.”

Liana sighed, “Perhaps there are other forms of happiness,” she said.

“Perhaps there are,” Nail replied.

Nail bubble float sank into the water and he started pulling his rod immediately. He did not know what he was going to catch because he turned off his mana perception and he felt a little excited. He pulled the line in and saw that he caught a crab.

Liana watched as he unhook the crab and healed it. Nail smiled and gently put the crab back into the water. He casted another hook and became relaxed again.

“Nail, I know you've been seeing other woman's,” Liana said with a straight voice.

Nail’s face froze and he tried to relax himself. Liana let him take his time and he fully relaxed himself. Nail knew for a fact that he had not been seeing other woman's and Liana was just bullshitting.

“What about it?” Nail asked calmly, he decided to go along with Liana little charade.

Liana face froze upon hearing his words, she had not expected him to actually be meeting other woman's, she just said what she said as a joke. Nail saw her shocked face and smirked inside. Liana regained her calm after a while.

“Which woman have you been meeting?” She asked calmly.

Nail turned his head towards her with a grin. “Shouldn’t you know since you’ve been spying?”

“No, I don't know since I've only caught glances,” Liana replied with a straight face.

Nail turned his head back towards the river and smiled gently. “I’ve only been meeting them and nothing more,” he replied.

Relief filled Liana’s heart and she realized Nail had tricked her. She was about to become irritated, but, seeing his happy face, she became calm again. This fishing trip wasn't bad after all. The two continued fishing quietly together.
