After what I talked to Karina she will follow me for a few days so I can get to know her better, and because of that, she will live with us for a while.
I go back to the training ground and see everyone’s progress, Diana and Ibuki were having an unarmed fight using only their Martial Arts, it looks like Ibuki has been training his Martial Art the way I told her.
One should not rely solely on training with swords or any other weapon, if one’s weapon is destroyed during combat or stolen by the enemy, one must know how to fight on their own.
Diana and Ibuki’s combats are mostly speed-focused, I can see that Ibuki even mimics some of Diana’s moves incorporating that into what I’ve already taught her.
I turn to Jade and she’s fighting a giant, she has no other way to call this ten-foot-tall man who looks more like a mountain of muscle.
He seems to be quite strong and with a strong defense, but his speed is also quite high which I didn’t expect, but after a closer look I understand that just like Diana does, this Giant is using the wind element to increase his speed.
He is being a strong enemy against Jade, but she has better reflexes and a very flexible body, it seems like she is using this to her advantage in an exceptional way.
I turn to another arena and see Freya facing the same archer as before, but this time they are not using arrows, they are using the bow as the melee type weapon, I see that Freya’s bow has been modified to also have wooden blades at the ends.
It seems that Freya has been practicing these strange hand-to-hand combat techniques with a bow.
I look to the side and see Nira learning about Runes from an Elf who looks to be about 40 years old and walks with three spirits around her.
Nira must be learning more about blow spiritual techniques.
Looks like Nira has been training too, I’m surprised.
I look at a place that is having an intense battle, who are there are Sophia and her father Ramon.
The two are fighting but you can still see that Sophia is at the disadvantage without being able to land a single hit on her father, but I can see her growth, now she is giving her father a harder fight.
It appears that Sophia has been using her anger at her father to propel her forward in her training.
But I don’t understand why she is still angry, I showed her a hologram of my conversation with him, now she must know that her father really loves her, so why are they fighting so intensely?
At the end of the day we all returned to the house we had been using during our stay in this village.
When I arrived at the house, everyone started to talk about what has been happening during these almost three weeks, basically, all they did was a train, after that, I tell everyone about Karina. ．ｔ
After that I tell everyone what happened to me and what we were going to do, everyone seemed surprised by the mission I accepted to do, but they also seemed excited about going to another continent.
With everyone knowing what we are going to do, I tell Nira to go and ask for the construction of a good boat to use during the trip, I said that I wanted a beautiful boat, discreet, big, resistant, and fast.
I also said that it must be reinforced with magic, we could go flying, but I want to enjoy the boat trip if possible.
After that, I go to my room to talk to Nix about the Dungeon and leave the others talking to Sakura in the living room.
“What do you mean master?” (Nix)
“I want to talk to you about the Dungeon, it’s about time to put this Dungeon to work.” (I)
Nix comes out of my shadow and sits on the edge of the bed where I’m sitting, I grab a bottle of a drink that looks like Vodka and give it to her, Nix likes strong drinks, meanwhile, I grab a drink that resembles some citrus juice mixed in with Vodka, it was very tasty, it was the first time I drank it, but I liked it.
“In the next few days we are going to take the people out of the Dungeon to interact with the people of the Elf village, during that time you can make all the modifications we have been discussing.” (I)
“But do you have enough DP to do everything?” (I)
“No, I should be able to set up some monster spawn points for one or two floors at most.” (Nix)
“Then do that, that would be better as it will automatically summon monsters from time to time without consuming more DP.” (I)
“Yes, exactly as you wanted, master.” (Nix)
“I wanted to open the Dungeon here, outside the village, but with so few monsters it’s difficult.” (I)
“By the strength of the people of this village, it seems that there must be strong monsters in the Illusory Forest, with our strength we could capture them and kill them inside the Dungeon, this would give us more DP as we would win twice, we would win by killing the monster and for releasing the monster’s soul.” (Nix)
“But what about Dungeon absorbing the dead monster?” (I)
“I thought we could keep the monster materials as Lyra, Anton, Rakan, and Tania might have some use for the body parts of these powerful monsters.” (Nix)
“That’s a good idea, it will at least speed things up.” (I)
“How long does the master plan to stay in this village?” (Nix)
“I was planning to stay 3 or 4 months, we can get a lot of resources in this Forest to build the city, besides that we need some rest.” (I)
“We may have an opportunity to get a lot of resources and at the same time get a lot of DP.” (Nix)
“What would that opportunity be?” (I)
“I’m not sure when that will happen, but it should happen during the period you want to stay here.” (Nix)
“The Annual Monster Wave.” (Nix)
“This happens every year during the change from one year to the next, the energies of the world go out of control and frenzied for a period of 3 to 5 days, this causes hundreds or thousands of monsters to spawn depending on the amount of energy in the region, plus there are usually waves of monsters coming out of the Dungeons as well.” (Nix)
“It will be a good opportunity for us, master.” (Nix)
“(This looks more like an apocalyptic event to me.)” (I)
