A Dragon Idol's Reincarnation Tale

Befitting the fact that this was her last chance for survival, Fulsara didn’t pull any more punches. She immediately began shooting [Deathly Wave] after [Deathly Wave] at me the moment she got the chance, all while summoning more and more [Corpse Coffins].

“If I am to die today, then I will die fighting with my company! Come to your mistress, my dear ‘Death Defiers!’ One last time. Show your brilliance one last time!” Corpses rose from her spells as her giant body kept Grimnir, my garms, and me occupied. Her constant [Deathly Wave] made it difficult to approach her without taking damage.

With [Erosion Resistance Lv. 10], I should be able to take more risks to end this fight. She is demolishing the whole area.

Buildings were being bulldozed by Fulsara’s wyvern-worm chimera’s large body, while the ground cracked open as it slithered around. Thankfully, the area was evacuated, but the reconstruction of this portion of the city will be extensive.

“Tell me, Miss Saori! Where is Masalim? What did you do to him?! Tell me! I ask this to you as a fellow worshipper.” Her plea was solemn, littered with no malice or ill-will. I would have taken it more seriously if she wasn’t turning the area to rubble with her flagrant use of [Deathly Wave]s and [Abyssal Bomb]s, the level two spell of [Tenebrous Magic].

While my garms carried Grimnir away from the onslaught of spells, I dived into my shadow to dodge the next three waves, reappearing from the rubble only for my [Foresight] to warn me of an incoming attack. I cast [Dark Tendrils] from my body to pull myself away from the danger, but multiple undead mercenaries suddenly appeared to block my way, causing me to get hit by a [Deathly Wave].

“Grrrk!” Luckily, I wasn’t affected by necrosis this time, but I still felt as if a truck rammed into me.

Elongating my claws with [Shadow Armament], I sliced at the nearby undeads, leeching off their Health and slightly restoring mine.

[Lightning Shadow] is a Job skill, I can’t rely on it in my current form!

I cast [Enfeebling Winds] on a few of the approaching zombie horde, targeting a few zombies I found “healthy” looking. The spell slowly sucked up Health like a leech, transferring a portion to me. I’d use that as a passive healing for now.

“I know [Enfeebling Winds] myself, do not presume I have no counter-measure for it. Corpse Coffin!” The undead I had cursed returned to their space-time coffins, before immediately returning back to the battlefield. My [Enfeebling Wind] had been nullified. “If you wish for damage, you use [Tenebrous Magic]! [Dark Magic] is all about cunning! Now, tell me, where is my vice-captain? What did you do to his body!”

I roared, shooting out multiple bolts of black lightning, ending the undead lives of a couple of them, but Fulsara kept summoning more and more. None of them were monsters like in our previous battle; all of them were mercenaries. I could see their dog tags hanging off their necks, showing off their names and birthday.

[“I buried him. I had put him in my [Storage Magic] during our battle to stop you from raising him. I then gave him a burial after leaving Shaturein,”] I answered her question.

“I see…” The wyvern-worm slammed its circular mouth at me, prompting me to dodge it. It crashed into the ground and began to hit such stone and earth. “May your soul reach Goddess Death, Masalim! I will join you soon!”

The worm mouth spat out chunks of rock and earth at me, ravaging the neighborhood. I stood my ground and cast [Hadean Dragon Thunder], aiming the bolt at the approaching projectiles and completely atomizing them.

I then ordered my catalysts to come close to me, rubbing them against my fur as I channeled mana through my white fur. Once my catalysts were filled with electric power again, I activated them to return back into [Lightning Revolt] mode.

[Lightning Revolt (Limited)] inflicted on [Young Stygian-Scaled Fenrir, Saori Segawa]>

As I did so, I deactivated my dragon thunder as Fulsara decided to dodge it instead of taking it head on. She learned.

“Taunt!” Grimnir’s voice echoed behind Fulsara.

“Argh! Damn you, dwarf! Do not presume I will be tricked once again!” Fulsara resisted the [Taunt].

“Aye, but taking your attention away for a single second is good enough for me! Take this!” Quatre’s form appeared from behind the rubble, carrying Grimnir on his back.

Grimnir had his blasthammer in its gun form, holding it as it began to shine a bright blue light. Steam blasted through the exhaust vents like a locomotive, all while Grimnir began to laugh like a madman. And then, KAAAABOOOOOM!

A massive blast shot out from his blasthammer, the recoil knocking Grimnir off Quatre’s back. Fulsara shot out a [Deathly Wave] at Grimnir, but that attack couldn’t block things. It could only affect organic substances, not mana.

“Casket of Souls!” A veil of souls shielded Fulsara’s wyvern-worm, only for me to shoot out multiple bolts of [Stygian Lightning] to activate my catalyst’s spell piercer effect. The shield weakened to the point Grimnir’s blast broke through and drilled a hole through the worm’s body, causing it to ooze disgusting green blood.

“Krruh!” The worm’s body wiggled from the force of the attack for a moment, but it showed no signs of pain. Fulsara even cast [Flesh for Mana] to restore its body, healing herself back up.

But that was enough to give my three other garms plenty of time to begin wrapping mana threads all around its long body.

“What?!” Fulsara cried out, only for me to draw her attention back to me by shooting a [Hadean Dragon Thunder] at her. With no time to react, her wyvern-worm body was struck by the lightning. I conjured [Dark Tendrils] around my body as I pounced on the worm’s body.

“Till death does us apart! Corpse Fusion! Undead Puppet!” Fulsara joined her undead mercenaries together, fusing their skin, muscles, and skeleton into a large amalgamation of flesh and bones. All these bodies created a towering giant the size of an ogre and a bone sword with a flesh handle.

It flew at me through [Undead Puppet], landing on the worm’s body to fight against me. With the spell support from Fulsara, the undead monstrosity began its attempts to knock me off the worm’s body.

It had an unsteady build entirely unsuited to sword fighting, so the problem wasn’t dodging its heavy strikes, but piercing its fleshy innards. Bones and meat were joined together into a horrific and disgusting abomination. Words couldn’t describe the horror of seeing this… thing moving around as though it was alive.

My claws scraped off pieces from its body, but they would simply return through Fulsara’s [Flesh for Mana]. I honestly questioned how much mana she still had at this point, and if a soul urn could even get arcane corruption. But it wasn’t worth considering when her spells and meat shield prevented me from advancing forward. I had to destroy her soul urn if I wanted to stop this creature.

I could outmaneuver the undead giant, but doing that with Fulsara’s spells and the worm struggling to knock me off was difficult. Not to mention, every time I tried to [Shadow Dash] or [Air Walk] my way closer, [Undead Puppet] would give the undead giant a surprising amount of speed. It was the perfect body blocker.

But what annoyed me the most was…

How the hell is there no reinforcement?! There is a giant worm attacking the city but no one is coming to help me! I can’t land the killing blow like this!

My garms were helping and I suspect Grimnir was doing his own thing, but that stuff takes time. This worm was gigantic. Smaller and shorter than the geisenlarg king, but it could still crush houses like a kid destroying their sandcastle.

I had to deal with three opponents at once right now. The only chance for me to break through this was to spam [Hadean Dragon Thunder] as much as Fulsara was spamming [Deathly Wave]! [Multi-Cast Lv. 5] brings the number of spells I can control simultaneously up to six, and then a seventh with [Lightning Revolt].

I’ll recover my mana and stamina after this fight, I need to end this fight now!

Hadean Dragon Thunder x7!

I jumped into the air, levitating there with [Air Walk]. When the undead giant flew at me with [Undead Puppet], I smacked it out of the air with my electrically-charged paws, causing it to crash into the worm’s hide, though it was able to instantly recover its wounds with [Flesh for Mana]. In the time this took place, however, seven black magic circles appeared above the worm.

As my seven spells shot out, I felt an intense sensation of something getting forcibly ripped out from my body. It was my mana. Using up seven of these spells at once felt excruciating.

The worm anticipated the incoming rays, dodging them surprisingly well for its size. Although there were glaring wounds littered on its bodies from my rays, none of them hit its head, where Fulsara’s soul urn was.

I made a big mistake.

I couldn’t control the spells unless I spent more mana. Keeping them going with [Continuous Cast] brought me to agony. My control of them was terrible. I tried imitating Hestia, but using all these large spells all at once is something I couldn’t copy with just my Mana pool. I had to dispel them at once, otherwise my mana would have been spent.

Big mistake, big mistake…

“Kruuuuuh!” The worm roared. It looked like swiss cheese at this point, but its flesh was being slowly restored by Fulsara.

Where does she get all this mana?! Where does it all come from?!

After the magic circles dissipated, my mind felt like it was in turmoil. I only reacted to [Foresight]’s warning in the last second, when the undead giant slashed at me.

Grk!

A large gash appeared on my side, spraying enough blood for someone to shower with. Crashing onto the worm’s hide, I was forced to enter the undead giant’s shadow to escape. In this situation, I didn’t have many choices if I didn’t want to jump off the worm. There weren’t too many shadows on top of it.

However, ducking into the shadow realm was a less than ideal move. Sure, I had been a bit reckless just now, but I shouldn’t be dissuaded by one mistake. What I should do is fully capitalize on the fact I have 87 kills stacked in [Lifetaker] right now!

I jumped out of the same shadow I had entered through, the undead giant’s. This meant I had to tank a [Deathly Wave] and a slash from my enemies, since they could see where I was about to emerge; [Shadow Dash] leaves a magic circle at the point of exit, after all.

I groaned, but I slammed my paw into the undead giant, pushing it further away, giving me an opportunity to rip through the worm’s hide. I was taking advantage of [Stygian Blades]’s life steal effect again. The more damage I did, the more Health I regenerated. I took damage to get a chance to deal more damage!

As I kept slashing into the worm’s body, [Foresight] warned me of the approaching undead giant, but I wasn’t fully healed yet. I had to recover as much Health as I could.

Checking my storage, I didn’t have any more holy grenades to heal myself after giving all of them over to Grimnir, and I couldn’t easily use potions in my fenrir form. Drinking them was a hassle aside from crunching the whole glass bottle, and I didn’t want to swallow glass shards and that was my only method of drinking a potion left.

I thought I could rely on [Stygian Blades] only, so I abandoned the grenades. I have to make this work!

At the very last second, I will dodge. I know I can do this. I know I could do this!

Keeping watch of Fulsara and her giant, I readied myself to stop attacking and to dodge. As the attacks slowly came in, I cast [Haste] on myself, time speeding up for myself and the rest of the world seemingly slowing down.

And then, I—

“Kruuuuh?!”

“What?!”

— only needed to dodge the [Deathly Wave], as reinforcements stopped the other attacks. Help finally came!

[“Saori, give Ellaine a dragorade now! She needs it now!”]

Klea’Hatma?!

The silhouette of my savior heavily reminded me— I didn’t have the time to look away from the fight to glance at my saviors, and I knew better than to delay an request during a fight!

I activated [Storage Magic] and took out two dragorades. They only recovered Mana and Stamina while helping prevent arcane corruption build-up, but they were still an excellent recovery drink despite not being an actual potion. I had tons of them since Hestia liked making them. When I threw them over to the person, she grabbed the two and began drinking them at the same time.

Her bone wings then spread out and she took flight, charging at the undead giant with her feet morphing into giant blades respectively.

[“Ellaine?!”]

Her appearance was a far cry of that 15-year-old noble girl I came to know. Her clothes were ripped apart with only a far-too-large coat covering her exposed skin, but what was more baffling to look at were her bone wings, a three-pronged tail, and her thin horns. Eldritch tendrils wrapped around her body like armor and she could transform this flesh into claws, giant blades, and whip-like objects.

“Long story, tl;dr later, Saori!” Ellaine shouted.

When did she learn ‘tl;dr’?! Hestia? The kids?!

“Let’s beat these things first! Klea, let’s go!” Ellaine threw away the empty dragorades and unsheathed her whipsword to engage the undead giant for me.

Klea’Hatma?! Does this transformation have something to do with that damn demon?! Was Ellaine corrupted by that thing?! I was outraged at the mere thought of that, but due to the hectic nature of the current situation, I had to question those two later on. First, we needed to stop Fulsara from demolishing Griffonpeak.

As I dashed towards the soul urn, Fulsara shot another [Deathly Wave] at me, but without the undead giant, it wasn’t much of a threat to me. Fulsara did attempt to [Undead Puppet] it to body block me again, but Ellaine showed immense strength and tenacity when she managed to grab and hold it in place with her whipsword and [Whiplash] combo.

She pulled it back like an angler hooking in a fish, clearing the way for me. Fulsara, in her desperation, used [Undead Puppet] on her wyvern-worm, moving the winged arms to attack me. The worm also began to twist its body around, making it harder and harder for us to stand on the body. I had to [Air Walk] while Ellaine had to fly to continue fighting.

But then, something even more insane happened. I had thought I had seen enough crazy stuff today, but something even more baffling appeared.

“Ruuk!”

“What?!”

The worm stopped advancing forward. It struggled, wrecking everything around it, but it couldn’t move forward at all.

“Gahahahaha!”

Are you kidding me?!

Ellaine and I looked behind us, only to finally notice the lower body of the worm had large chunks of wood and rock lodged into its body, held together with white mana threads. They acted like a bunch of rope, tying the worm down. My garms had somehow managed to wrap them around the rubble and any sturdy-looking object.

Only its upper body could move, but with its bottom tied down, it couldn’t cause any more destruction than it already has done. How the hell were they able to do this? I had no idea. None of us seemed to have noticed it, but I could always question them afterward.

After all, the crazy dwarf was standing in the middle of a mountain of building scraps, laughing like a lunatic.

“Detonate!” Grimnir roared like a cannon.

““““Ahwrooooooooooooooh!””””

Explosions. A lot of explosions. White flames surged in the area, erupting like a wildfire as it wrapped everything in its inferno. The worm roared as the flames began to corrode its body, spreading fast along its skin. In the span of a few seconds, the flames already covered its entire lower body.

“Nooooo!” Fulsara cried out.

“Saori!” Ellaine called out as she whiplashed herself to the undead giant, slashing off its left arm with her giant blade.

Go!

Ellaine launched the giant back onto the worm’s body. Fulsara cried out as Ellaine began launching spells at her, turning her full attention onto my teammate and completely forgetting about me. I used this moment to my advantage and air walked above the worm and began charging up an extraordinary amount of electricity around my paws.

Once all my hair stood up, I dashed down, descending with my eyes set at the soul urn. The sound of thunder boomed around me as I did so, torturing my ears, but I kept my aim straight. Even if the worm was jerking its head around, I did not care. I adjusted my trajectory.

Voltage Impact!

“Damn!”

With pinpoint accuracy, I struck the worm’s head. Black lightning burst from my paws and began atomizing every cell it had. Nothing stood a chance against it, giving me deja vu as this was the exact same method with which I killed Fulsara’s other body.

“Congrat—”

And the soul urn cracked and burst open. I knew Fulsara wanted to say something but her sentence was just drowned by the thunderous sounds happening around us. Whatever they were, I would never hear them.

Multiple proficiency requirements fulfilled. [Shadow Armament Lv. 10] [Shadow Pack Lv. 3] [Foresight Lv. 3] [Enhanced Vitality Growth Lv. 7] [Enhanced Wisdom Growth Lv. 7] gained

The worm’s head was completely gone, and so was the soul urn with Fulsara’s soul. If she doesn’t have another one hidden somewhere, this would be the last time I would meet her. Hopefully.

Looking at the white flames spreading along the worm’s body, it probably will be completely purified. I also noticed the undead giant burning, too — lifeless after Fulsara died. No necromancer would be able to use them, at least, not with how torched they will become, or after they got dismantled.

By the divine System, individual [Young Stygian-Scaled Fenrir, Saori Segawa] is granted the title: [Watched by Ilsaphone]

…

I had a feeling that would happen. Something inside me told me so, or, if I could hazard a guess, it probably was the [Watched by Edna] title. After all, Edna was Ilsaphone’s mother according to the lore books I read.

But, then again, Ilsaphone and Aurora do have a certain amount of history thanks to the onnikai encounter. My four garms gained a second life due to how Ilsaphone tried to create her own patron race, at least according to Kiiro, the onnikai leader of that battle. Uno, Song, Sarasa, and Quatre — I would have never met them if it weren’t for Ilsaphone.

“Saori!” A girl’s voice interrupted my thoughts.

I turned around and growled. [“Stop right there, Ellaine! Or is it Klea’Hatma? I expect you to explain everything to me right this instant! Why do you look like that and how are you free? I thought you were kidnapped with Lady Amelia?”]

I scowled at… Ellaine? and her altered appearance. With her bone wings and horns, she definitely wasn’t human anymore.

“Wait, wait, Saori, it’s me. It’s really me, Ellaine. I know it's pretty hard to believe but look at this first.” Her wings and three-pronged tail detached from her body, dropping on the floor before they began to melt into a fleshy puddle. Ellaine then grabbed her horns and used [Musclesmass] to tear them off, letting out a small, pained squeak. “See? I can always deactivate [Assimilation]. It’s a long story, so please hear me out.”

Ellaine explained to me what happened after she was kidnapped. About how she met her brother Jonathan at Charleslyt’s party house and how the two of them had to fight through a group of nobles who accepted Charleslyt’s demonic gift. They managed to beat those nobles and save Amelia but Ellaine had her head cut off when they tried to run away.

[“Y-You what?!”]

[Humanize (Moderate)] inflicted on [Young Stygian-Scaled Fenrir, Saori Segawa]

“Ellaine, here are some healing potions. Are you okay? How is your head still attached to your body?!” I ran over to her, grabbing her neck to check for any wounds. It wasn’t cut off at all, was she lying to me?

“No, wait, Saori, I’m alright, please.” She grabbed my hands off to create some room between us. “That vampire necklace saved my life, you know, the one we received from the boss in the Cedaraille dungeon.”

I remembered. [Necklace of Vampiric Undying] was its name, I believe. I couldn’t forget about it since Ellaine always wore it due to her fear of death. After looking at her, I noticed the necklace was still there, but it was cracked.

“It was used up, but it repaired my whole body through its effect. I was lucky I had it on, hie hie,” she laughed carelessly despite how mortifying it sounded.

She then went to explain how her she met Aurena’s fragment of power inside her [Okl’Luthier’s Power] skill, who explained to her how she could use a new power since she supposedly hasn’t been corrupted yet by Klea’Hatma, despite showing heavy signs of changing because of their interactions. With that power, she managed to knock Charlelsyt out, and Amelia and Jonathan were transporting him to the knights at this moment.

“Do you want me to destroy the rings?” Lightning crackled in my hands.

“No, wait, please! Saori, stop! I don’t think our relationship is perfect just yet, but I think it has gotten to the phase of a symbiosis, I believe?”

[“Oh really, is that really how you think of me, Ellaine? A little parasite? Wow, and here I was completely infatuated with how you spoke so lovey-dovey to me. Like a princess in shining armor, oooooh, woe to me for believing your seductive words. A true succubus, you are,”] Klea’Hatma interjected, acting dramatic.

“W-What?! I did not do any of that! Klea, stop lying!”

[“Hiehie, well, there you have it, dear. Ellaine and I are working together now. I’m not exactly trying to corrupt her, honestly. She just changed her association with me, but for some reason, she wasn’t corrupted like those nobles. She’s still Ellaine at her core. I’m just here to lend her my powers while she continues giving me interesting experiences.”]

“… Like us bathing?”

[“… Sure.”]

I can’t believe this demon!

I was really about to trample those two spell rings Klea’Hatma was staying in, but I had to restrain myself. Ellaine really did seem normal. Actually, on a closer inspection, Ellaine seemed brighter and more confident for some reason.

Still, what’s more important than Klea’Hatma’s perverted nature was the fact there is a second demonkin in Griffonpeak. This is problematic. Very much so.

“Hey lasses!” Once again, my thoughts were interrupted by another familiar voice. “Did you lasses like the white inferno? Mhmm, beautiful as hell, right? It’s even died out at this point, turning everything to ash, aside from the worm.”

It was Grimnir riding on Quatre. The other garms were with him, too. He pointed at the area behind the worm, showing how the inferno he caused was all gone, having consumed everything but the worm. We did cause a lot of trouble, but it wasn’t as if the neighborhood wasn’t already in ruin.

“Grimnir, I am glad to see you well. Tell me, how did you do all that? Tying that giant worm down couldn’t have been an easy feat,” I said.

“Hahaha! It sure was difficult, you know! Since the worm wasn’t concentrated on us, the garms and I could just run next to it without any problem. Using my power gauntlets, I just threw some stuff until it stuck. Undead feel no pain, and that worked to our advantage. If a giant doesn’t take care of the mosquitoes sucking its blood, it will die soon enough.”

And from there, the garms did what they did the best. Using my mana threads to tie things down. I did feel a bit bad that I wasn’t able to give them a more substantial role, but their support was amazing once again. If the worm had had a better way to dodge my [Voltage Impact], I would have had to use a close-range attack without the long charge-up time, and it wouldn’t have been as powerful.

I patted my garms, praising them for a job well done. Sadly, they weren’t able to receive any experience for me killing the worm and Fulsara. Without my party bracelet on, I did not share anything with these five. Grimnir and my garms did a lot of work, and they weren’t able to gain any rewards from me killing our foes in my fenrir form.

“Argh, stop looking so down, Saori. I know what you are thinking,” Grimnir stated. “Don’tcha worry about it. Fighting is like that. Some won’t get their share, but what’s important is that we got through this mess. Hahaha, taking down such a large thing was worth wrecking my blasthammer.”

“You did what, Master?!” Ellaine burst out. “H-How could you do that! I just finished maintenance on it! After all I did to change its function, you had to ruin it?”

“Argh, stop your complaining, lass! Weapons and armor go broken or missing all the time during a battle. I can’t see my armor with you, for example. Don’t worry about it, we’ll reconstruct everything. Better than ever, I tell you! I’m sure my cousin won’t be too angry after I show him how much you’ll improve it, lass. And, you gotta explain what that new form of yours was, since if that is how you fight at this point, we gotta specialize your armor even more, hahahaha!”

Grimnir’s “what’s done is done” attitude was motivating. With how much this area of Griffonpeak was totaled, there will be a lot of repairs needed afterwards.

“Also, we have better things to contemplate. For example, that problem.”

“You’re right. Rescuing Ellaine and killing the necromancy are fulfilled, but we still have a giant bug— Oh…” When I turned around, I thought Grimnir was speaking about the geisenlarg king which Muraina was keeping out the city with her arrows, but what he was worried about were the group of adventurers right over in the distance. Watching us.

“U-Uhm… H-How long have you guys been here?” I noticed a few faces. All of them were regulars at the hunter’s guild, and since I’ve been visiting Muraina often for information and or my own training, I came to get to know more of them. Some were even fans of our restaurant, although I haven’t opened it lately due to everything going on.

“Well… after we saw a giant wolf kill that giant worm thing… We thought we had to help. Saori… Uhm,” one of them replied, and that was all I needed to know I fucked up.

“W-Well, I se—” I wanted to respond with something but all I could do was stutter. At that point, Grimnir took over.

“I know you lads and lasses have much to say, but we ain’t got the time to do that. Muraina, our guild leader, is dealing with that damn giant bug at this point. If we don’t stop it, the city will probably be lost with how slow those damn nobles are moving!” Grimnir shouted. “The necromancer is dead! We, Aurora, took her and this damn undead worm down. Neighborhood got destroyed, but no casualties. Praise the Origin Gods. Now, I think you people have known us long enough that we ain’t here to cause trouble. So how about we go out there and help our guild leader!”

Grimnir gave an inspiring speech, but it didn’t seem to have motivated the adventurers. Their suspicions weren’t lifted.

“… Free meals! Three free meals, alright? After this whole mess is over, I’ll treat all of you to three free meals at my usual quality, alright? Just please shut up about it! Muraina already knows, so please just let it go!”

“““YAY! FREE FOOD!”””

What?

“We’ll take you up to that, Saori! Open the damn restaurant again! Cheap prices for fucking good food is hard to get, you know!”

“Yeah, after this fucking mess, we need something to celebrate with. Gotta toast to those we lost today. We gotta drink for those we fought today!”

“Three meals! All of us! Bring them to the guild so we can get drunk and full!”

Adventurers were adventurers. I didn’t expect them to get bribed that easily, but I guess that was how adventurers lived. Too many have died today already. Giving them a reason to see this fight through was good enough for them to get motivated.

I have to make a feast for them. Just so they don’t go around telling people I’m a fenrir.

I then looked into the distance, watching Muraina and her treant Whisperia engaging the geisenlarg king while somebody was casting tenebrous spells. It had to be Krymdar.

Hestia should be in Shaturein, but once she finds out Ellaine isn’t here, she’ll rush out. Should I go and inform her? No, I’ll just send one of the garms. First things, first we need to—

Booooom!

A bright light and black explosion appeared in the distance. Looking over there, from how far it was to our current location, I managed to recognize it being in the area where the orphanage was. Of course, there shouldn’t be anybody there after Hestia evacuated everybody but… I had a bad feeling about it.

“Ellaine, Grimnir! We need to go there right now!”

Something told me this miserable day was about to get even worse.

Bio: Hey there, AbyssRaven here. I'm just an avid Light Novel and Fantasy story reader who randomly thought of a story and began writing about it.

I eventually found out that I've been spending a bit too much time with building, planning, and researching for the story, that I've decided to just share it with others.

Writing is mostly a hobby for me, but I would still love any kind of criticism to improve on it.

I'm also german, so please excuse anything that sounds a bit weird...I wouldn't mind you pointing it out though.
