"Lily, did you decide?" Lilith asked.
Lily smiled, slightly smug. "I have indeed thought of it."
"Oh? Let's hope it won't disappoint me," Lilith grinned. "Tell me, what's the name?"
"Weave concept!" Lily said with resolve.
"Weave?" Lilith raised her eyebrows. "So, you think you can bring out more of your powers by "weaving"?"
"Yep. I just feel that when I truly weave together my Mist and Ice with the "Weave" concept, I can open the next level of my combat style when I get its 2nd realm.
Lily clenched her fist.
"I want to manifest the Weave concept."
Lilith imagined how Ice and Mist could indeed benefit in myriad ways with "Weave" and the abstract principles this concept could grant. She also didn't know its full potential, but she could still imagine its principles from the name and various effects it could "possibly" grant.
"Alright, this has me convinced," Lilith smiled. "Go for it."
A minute later, Klelia emerged from the portal, injured and tired.
"Lady Lilith, can you please heal me? Sigh, I got injured more than I expected in 7th level's last tomb."
"Congrats," Lily laughed. "You at least finished it and got a Scroll of Insight."
"Do you want to use it right away?" Lilith asked as she waved her hand, using her Blood-attributed skill to heal Klelia's wounds and a Blood-Death skill to remove harmful effects from her.
"Yes. I will be thankful if you suggest something for me," Klelia smilingly scratched the back of her head while her bunny ears bent down. "I-I want to become more strong, like master Erix and Rin."
"You managed to get your Water and Crystal elements to the 3rd realm, so your Spirit stats also finally increased," Lilith thoughtfully said, "Ride this promotion and upgrade your Earth and Fire affinity as well."
"Yep. You already got Crystal to 3rd realm, so if you spend a full week in meditation, you should be able to make Earth and Flame reach 3rd realm," Lily nodded.
Crystal element was an advanced element made from Earth + Fire.
"And once you are done with that, you can directly try to create another advanced element," Lilith smiled. "Magma." freewёbnoνel.com
Magma was an advanced element made from Fire + Earth.
"Haha," Lily chuckled, "This type of progression is the best way to ensure that you get powerful faster and properly. Once we are in royal order, the challenges to rise further only increase."
"Mhm," Klelia clenched her fists with determination and nodded. "I will follow that route and save my Scroll of Insight for now."
"Good."
Lilith and Lily agreed with that. As such, Klelia went to her Serene Spot and started meditation with resolve.
Klelia was uberly excited as well. 'Luck is on my side. I managed to progress fast in the past two weeks, and I am sure they are impressed.'
'I just need to work harder and show more and fast!'
No matter what, she wanted to prove her worth and stay in this group!
…
Fallen Land's central city.
The huge city was as bustling as always. After all, there were many other exotic sights like the Black Mountain, which had challenges and boons with danger.
At the north of the city was a gigantic floating Skull Island, a dreadful island permeated with death and darkness. It had a permanent space slit opened, which was connected to a strange dimension somewhere in the Grand Primal Cosmos.
That space slit had covered the entire Skull Island in some sort of natural umbral barrier.
Every now and then, monsters would enter the island from the space slit while the energy of that island also entirely modified the island, causing it to produce exotic resources periodically.
*Roarr!*
A majestic lion's roar suddenly echoed at a certain northeast area of the vast floating island.
"Gao, it's time! A month has passed, and we've run out of supplies!"
"You two go ahead! I'll exit after an hour!"
"Be careful!"
Gaorath, the Royal-order powerhouse that Erix challenged to a death battle.
Gaorath was battling against a giant twenty-meter-tall ape with dark silver scales on its body.
With a punch, the monster sent Gaorath flying through the forest before he crashed into a hill.
But Gaorath returned with double speed, wrapped up into a ball of black-gold flame with a crimson hue.
*BOOM!*
A large hole appeared on the ape's chest before Gaorath roared again, his mixed black-gold fur glowing.
Just a hundred meters away from him, in the sky, two royal-order women floated. One was a dwarf, and another was a human.
Above them, various dark-colored hues bolts flashed in the sky. The plants and monsters here were colorful, but their colors were of all dark shades.
After drinking a potion, Gaorath looked at the two women, beckoning them.
"Did others leave?" Gaorath asked as the women floated before him.
"Yes, my lord."
"Remove your clothes and bend down on there near that dark blue sparkling pond. I've had enough fights, so I need some fun."
"B-but we can also do that after leaving this dangerous place."
"Shut up and do as I say!" Gaorath grunted. "Remove your armor and clothes, get to that fucking pond, and just do what you're supposed to do!"
"Yes, my lord."
After an hour, Gaorath left Skull Island on a chariot with both women in his arms.
Licking his lips, he remembered that woman he had seen a month ago and hadn't forgotten her yet.
That slim figure but absolutely gorgeous figure with silky long hair, ample bosom, perfect buttcheeks, and her stunningly beautiful face that perfected her.
'That Noble order bastard is taking her to himself…Damn it!!' Gaorath seethed with fury, just thinking about not having her.
'I want her!'
As he arrived at the Fallen Land. He entered a rather high-end inn and met up with a general informer of Fallen Land.
Sitting across Gaorath at a table was a beastfolk man of Rat-tribe.
"Things are going to get heated, Gao. The brat that challenged you has stepped up his game."
"Not him specifically, but his party."
Gaorath raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"
"Information doesn't come cheap, but this news will spread soon, so I'll tell you for free," the rat-man said as a red glint passed through his eyes. 'A perfect stage is shaping up.'
