4 DAY 16-20

• DAY 16

Fenrir: mmmmhhgg~. *yawn.

I woke up in bed as I looked at the four sleepy heads snoring as I slowly got out of bed before stretching my body and cooking for breakfast.

Korone: *snore... food!

I then heard korone shout as quick thudding sounds came closer to me before I saw korone running towards me and lunged herself in my legs.

Korone: onii-chan, whats for food?!

Fenrir: night viper soup, good for... *mumble um, it says here that...  its good for the liver!

Korone: oooh~.

Mio: *yawn good morning, onii.

Fenrir: goodmorning, mion. Wheres the other two?

Mio: mmmhhhg, they're still snoring.

Fenrir: mhm, well, could you wake them up, the foods almost ready.

Mio nodded as she went back to the bedroom. I kept cooking the night viper soup as korone went and sat on the bench while humming. After a while, the other three arrived at the kitchen as they walked towards the table and proceeded to sit in the bench.

Fenrir: here's food, you four sleepyheads.

I placed the food at the table before placing wooden bowls I carved after the night where the kobolds ate the ramruk meat for the first time.

Korone: waaaah, smells tashty!

Mio: korone, you're salivating.

Korone: *gulp but I can't help it, it smells so good!

Fenrir: well, stop looking at it and dig in.

They then took the spoons I made with the bowl as they clumsily held and tried to eat using it.

Fenrir: hahahaha, thats not how you use the spoon. Look, just follow what my hands are doing.

The four looked at how I held the spoon as they copied it. Though they were still clumsily holding it at first, they were able to get it right after a while before they started to naturally hold it properly. We ate the soup silently as the contents inside slowly dwindled till there was only soup left, we then took our bowls and lifted it to our eye level before we proceeded to place the rim of the bowl and drank the soup.

Fenrir: haaah, that was good.

Korone: mhm! mhm!

Mio: true.

Sesshomaru&Haze: *gulp mhm.

I smiled as I proceeded to clean the table from soup stains before I went and cleaned the bowls and placed them back on my storage. I then called the four over as I wanted to give something to them. They stood in front of me as I then opened my [space-time storage] and proceeded to take out a lot of weapons as the four looked at them in awe.

Fenrir: pick whichever one you like.

Korone: woah, really, onii-chan?!

Fenrir: mhm.

Korone: hyahahaha then I pick this!

Korone then ran towards a pair of red coloured battle gloves before picking it up.

Fenrir: hmm, the {decibalze gauntlets}, good choice.

{daciblaze gauntlets}

{a pair of sparkling spiky gauntlets that's able to release a burst of flames every time a target is hits a target or when the user lets it burst, the power of the explosion depends on how much mana is infused in the gloves. It can even smash foes and the earth with an incinerating fire if enough mana if infused.}

Korone: woaaah, can I try it on, onii-chan?!

Fenrir: later outside, you might burn the cabin down.

Korone: mhm ok, hyahahaha!

Mio: well then, I'll pick this one.

Mion then picked up a katana with a blue coloured hilt and black coloured scabbard with reddish orange hanging cord and red plum blossom like guard.

Fenrir: the {gentle guardian's odachi} perfect for someone calm and elegant like miss mion here.

{gentle guardian's odachi}

{this sword is designed for quick, broad strikes that can "gently" dispatch opponents while distracting them with red plum blossoms. Infuse mana to the blade to release sharpened red plum blossoms to control them.}

Mio: hmm, cool.

Sesshomaru: hmmm, I have decided on this one.

Sesshomaru then picked up a katana with runes on the back of the blade while its hilt and scabbard has some kind of weird brick like black and white patterns.

Fenrir: oh, the {bakusaiga} huh, interesting choice.

{bakusaiga}

{made from the fangs of a great wolf yokai who was once feared in all lands. Infusing mana in this blade enables it to have an ability to decompose any organic material that nullifies any regerative properties the target has to where its blade cut.}

Fenrir: be careful to not cut yourself with that, hahahaha.

Sesshomaru: mhm, I will, thank you.

Haze: then I'll have this.

Haze then went towards a katana with white scabbard and a crescent moon charm at the end of its hilt and picked it up before taking the blade out of its scabbard as the others saw that the katana's groove was coloured golden while its ridge and edge were silver.

Fenrir: thats the {wolf moon munechika edge}, it might just be perfect for you, haze.

{wolf moon munechika edge}

{an excellent sword that is said to be one of the sharpest in this dimension, it glows with lunar light and flashes majestically. Injecting mana in this blade enables the blades to sharp. It is even said that the blades can sharpen to the point that it could even cut gods.}

Haze: even able to cut gods huh, impressive.

Korone: so can I test this now, onii-chan?!

Fenrir: lets go far outside first before we test your weapons out.

The four nodded as we then proceeded to go out of the cabin before heading deep in the forest to not let any onlookers see us.

Fenrir: this spot should be fine so you can go on and test the weapons now.

Korone: yaaay!!

Korone then wore the gloves before she then infused mana in the gloves as it glowed red, she then proceeded to turn towards a tree nearby before punching out to it.

Korona: falcon pu~nch!

*boom!

Her fist collided at the tree as the place where korones fist hit then blew up to pieces while smoke and flame residue was carried by the falling tree as the one who caused the explosion fell down on her ass from the force of the impact and explosion.

Mio: are you alright, korone?

Korone: awe-awesome! Hyahaha, that was so super awesome!

Mio: well, I guess you're fine.

Korone: test yours next, mion!

Mion nodded as she then took the odachi out of its scabbard before infusing her mana into it as the blade then emitted a few, slightly glowing, red plum blossoms.

The red plum blossoms then started to swirl around the blade as mion lifted the odachi up before swinging it down towards the tree in the distance as, like a whip, the red plum blossoms followed the odachi before it hit the tree before the red plum blossoms chipped it quickly till it was sliced in half.

The red plum blossoms then returned next to mion as it then started to swirl her whole body, she then placed the odachi back to its scabbard as all the red plum blossom surrounding her became dust sized particles before it then got blown in the wind.

Korone: that was super cool, mion!

Mio: hehehe, true, that was cool, I also got a new skill.

Fenrir: an new skill?

Korone: a new skill?! What is it, what is it?!

Mio: hmm, its called [crimson plum blossom slash]. It says here that it was a weapon skill.

[crimson plum blossom slash]

[a weapon skill from the weapon [gentle guardians odachi]. It is able to confuse enemies while also absorb vitality with a single slash in the midst of blossom.]

Korone: woaah~.

Fenrir: hmm, well, how about you two try yours out now?

I looked at the twins as they both nodded as sesshomaru then spoke.

Sesshomaru: I'll let you go first, twin brother.

Haze nodded as he then walked forward before taking an iai stance as he then placed his hands on the hilt of the [wolf moon munechika edge] and infused his mana into it.

Haze: [crescent moon slash]

Haze then swung his katana horizontally as a crescent moon slash fired off of the blade and sliced five trees that it hit before disappearing.

Haze: my skill became stronger.

Fenrir: mhm, it seems like that skill of yours is compatible with that blade, that blade really is perfect for you. Well, its your turn, sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru nodded as he then walked towards a tree while injecting mana to his blade before he arrived in front of it and quickly slashed it. A gash was formed in the tree as it then begun to decompose and a while later, the tree wilted.

Sesshomaru: hmm, impressive.

Korone: wooaaah, how did that do that?!

Mio: the cut from sesshomarus blade decomposed the tree.

Korone: decompose? Whats that?

Mio: *sigh well its...

Mion then started to explain what decomposition is to korone as we ventured deeper in the forest to find a difficult opponent.

Mio: ...so when something dies, they decompose.

Korone: ooooh~, I still don't get it!

Mio: ugh, well, to simplify it, when someone dies they rot but for sesshomaru's blade, it'll rot the enemy and kill them.

Korone: oooh, why didn't you just say that?

Mio: to let you... *sigh whatever, I did it cause I wanted to, ok.

Korone: mhm, ok!

Fenrir: so, what do all of you want to fight to test out your weapon?

Korone: a bear!

Mio: mhm, preferably a bear too.

Haze: a bear too.

Sesshomaru: mhm, bear.

Fenrir's thoughts: do they all have some kind of grudge on hind bears or something?

Fenrir: well, lets go find some then.

Korone: oouh!

We then spent about an hour to find two hind bears walking together as korone quickly ran towards one of them and sesshomaru ran to the other one.

Korone: I pick first! Hyahahahaha!

The both of the hind bears of course heard korones loud laugher as sesshomaru went behind them, unoticed. The bear near korone then rushed towards her as the other bear tried to attack korone too though it stopped as it heard sesshomaru's voice behind him.

Sesshomaru: your opponent is behind you, bear.

The bear looked behind as it then quickly swiped its claws towards sesshomaru who jumped back, dodging it as he also swiped his blade quickly at the hind bear as it hit its paws.

The bear begun wailing  loudly as its left paws started to decompose before it then ran at sesshomaru and proceeded to then again try and and swipe its claws at him only for it to meet the same fate as the other decomposing claw as it then wailed again before shortly after, it collapsed on the ground, dead and rotten.

Sesshomaru: hmph, not even worth a challenge.

Back to korone, the bear rushed towards her before it then jumped and lunged at her with its claws ready to slice korone up as she infused mana on her gloves before punching at the bear with her left and punching the ground at her right.

The impact that the explosion did quickly lifted korone midair as the bear was blinded with the smoke from the explosion and missed its attack. Korone then clasped both her hands as she infused more mana to the gloves before she then made it explode as she started to spin, front flipping for a while before smashing her arms at the hind bears head.

*Booom!!

Korone: hyahahahaha!

The hind bears head was swallowed in an explosion as it then begun to collapse with smoke residues and its skull visible on its head. Korone then started to back flip from the force of the explosion before shortly after, landing at the same time that the hind bear crashed down the ground.

She then laughed haughtily as she stepped at the bears body with her right food before running back towards us with sesshomaru following behind her.

Korone: hyahahah I was super awesome right, onii-chan?!

Fenrir: yes, yes you were, but please tell us before you rush out like that, korone. You too, sesshomaru, it's dangerous to rush out like that.

Mio: mhm, onii is right, you both could get hurt.

Both of them nodded as sesshomaru still had his nonchalant look and korone still had her enthusiastic smile.

Fenrir: *sigh well, the next hind bears we see will be for haze and mion, alright?

Korone: mhm!

Sesshomaru: yes.

We continued on our way as we had some occasional encounters with horned rabbits or copper armoured tanuki's, or what I like to call rabbits and raccoons, before we encountered a flock of fraze birds.

Mio: onii, let us handle this.

Haze: mhm, this'll be enough for me.

Fenrir: well, sure. We do still need to eat after all.

Both of them nodded as mion then takes her blade out of its scabbard as red plum blossoms then started to twirl around her odachi while haze took a iai stance as they turned their bodies towards the fraze birds.

Mio: [crimson plum blossom slash]!

Haze: [crescent moon slash].

Mion then swung her blade as a tornado made up of red plum blossom started to head towards the fraze birds as it then hit multiple fraze birds as it started to shred their bodies while haze slashed his katana three times as three silver crescent projectiles shot out and sliced three fraze birds before he put it back in its scabbard.

Fenrir: impressive power display you two, you both massacred the birds.

Haze&mio: thank you for the praise brother/onii.

Fenrir: mhm, well, lets head home. We still have to eat lunch.

Korone: lunch, yaay!

Mio: mhm, yay indeed.

Though the two twins still had their indifferent look, I could see that they had a small smile as it seemed that they were also excited to eat lunch.

Fenrir: well, lets head back fast then.

All of them nodded as we begun heading back to the cabin before I then cooked shortly after, we ate lunch. We then rested for a while before I left as I wanted to explore the west side of the forest. Though I also gave the four tiny terrors a necklace called [callers necklace] incase they get into some kind of danger.

{callers necklace}

{this necklace is able to let the other ones who have the same necklaces know each others location as well as know their health. The necklace would glow red if another wearer of this necklace is in grave danger. This necklace is able to identify others by infusing mana to it, it can only take ten peoples mana.}

We all infused mana on each others necklaces before the four tiny troubles then also left to towards the river as they wanted to train/play with their new weapons/toys more.

Fenrir's thoughts: hmm, the north side was of the forest should be the river, the east was the mountains, the kobold cave and my cabin should be in its southern part, all thats left unexplored by me is the west. I should check it out today, I might even be able to find something new.

I walked towards the western side of the forest as I encountered a few rabbits and raccons and some deers. I ventured for a few minute before I heard some sounds of someone fighting.

???: KIᄃΉI, ᄂΣƬƧ DΣFΣΛƬ ƬΉΣ ЦПЯΣƧƬЯΛIПΣD ӨПΣ ЩΉIᄂΣ ƬΉΣ GЦЯᄂƧ KIᄂᄂ ƬΉΣ ӨƬΉΣЯ!!

???: ӨΉ!!

I then saw hobgoblins as I heard their gibberish noise as I took out an artefact from velvets treasury, the {world lexicon ring}.(Ahem, superbly convenient, ahem)

{world lexicon ring}

{a ring that enables the user to understand any language as well as speak any language in the world excluding the language of the gods.}

I then wore the ring as I then looked back at the hobgoblins and saw that they were the same hobgoblins that killed the kobold mag. I also noticed that the goblin that accompanied them last time seemed to have ranked up already. They were currently fighting two triple horned horses, the two female hobgoblin kept shooting the triple horned house that was entangled in spider silk while the black hobgoblin and the other male hobgoblin fought the unrestrained one together.

Fenrir's thoughts: so thats why I mostly never see triple horned horses, they live here in the western side of the forest. I wonder how they taste though, the old man and uncle seishi never told me.

triple horned horses are horses that is covered with solid looking scales and with three horns on its head, and its twice the size of a normal horse. A kobold of average height would have to look straight up just to see it.

Black hobgoblin: ΉΛΛΛΛΛΛΉ!!!

Male hobgoblin: ЦЦЦЦӨӨӨΉΉΉ!!!

The two male hobgoblins begun to slowly chip away the hard scales of the triple horned horses as the females kept shooting the restrained one to death with their crossbows.

After a while of looking at them, I finally saw the restrained one stop moving as the female goblins changed their target to the one the male hobgoblins fought. After a while of slowly chipping the scales of horse, it finally lost its life as the hobgoblin carrying an axe decapitated it as I went out of my hiding spot and jumped behind them while in my werewolf form.

Fenrir: well, that was quite climactic for killing a simple triple horned horse.

The hobgoblins turned their heads towards me as the black hobgoblin went in front of the females before taking a fighting stance.

Black hobgoblin: everyone be careful, he's strong.

The others also took a fighting stance after the black hobgoblin finished his sentence while looked at them in interest as they kept their guards towards me. I was then caught off guard as the black hobgoblin suddenly spoke the language of kobolds.

Black hobgoblin: who are you?

Fenrir: hmm?!.. Heeeh, talking in kobold language now, are you. Well, hahaha, why don't you tell me your name first, kobold mage slayer.

The black hobgoblins eyes widened in surprise as his body tensed much more as he also started sweating unconsciously.

Black hobgoblin: ?!... How do you know that?

Fenrir: hmm~, well, I saw how it happened. Oh and you can just speak in your language, I can still understand you even if you do. In fact, I'm talking in goblin language right now, you didn't notice?

The hobgoblin then shot a glare at me before he then asked one of his subordinates if they could understand me. The short haired female hobgoblin with no hat answered his question as she confirmed that I could indeed talk in goblin language.

Fenrir: ahahaha surprised?

The black hobgoblin still remained glaring at me as I sighed before sitting down the ground, cross legged.

Fenrir: *sigh look, I'm not going to kill you for killing one of our pack member. I just want to know your names and how a group of hobgoblins are able to kill two triple horned horses without dying or even having any casualties.

Black hobgoblin: when did you start watching us fight?

Fenrir: from the part where you split up and started to fight the unrestrained horse. And can you just give me your names already?

Black hobgoblin: and why should we do that?

Fenrir: hmm~, why should you? Well, I might start killing each of you one by one if you don't answer me. Though thats just a ma~ybe, ahahahaha.

I placed my left knuckles at my cheeks as I smiled at the distressed hobgoblins, I then used my passive skill [pressure] as all of them bent down a little before starting to breath heavily.

Black hobgoblin: rou, thats my name.

Fenrir: hmm, so rou, and...?

The other male hobgoblin introduced himself as hobgoblin kichi while the shorthaired with no hat female hobgoblin was called hobgoblin mi and the shorthaired with a hat hobgoblin called herself hobgoblin e.

Fenrir's thoughts: damn are all goblins bad at naming? Thank god I didn't reincarnate as one.

Rou: we already said our name, now what?

Fenrir's thoughts: he's right, now what? I didn't think this far, dammit!

Fenrir: hmm~... well, how about you tell me first on how you gained compatibility with mana when you ate the slime's core that the mage killed as well as lightning magic compatibility when you ate the staff the kobold mage was using.

Rou: ?!... How did you know that?

Fenrir: I'm a magic user, and a lightning one at that so of course I'd know, dumbass.

The one named rou twitched his eyes as I looked towards their left side as saw a hind bear walking out of the bushes. The hobgoblins looked at where I was looking and saw the hind bear as they proceeded to quickly jump back. The hind bear looked at me and was stunned frozen as I was still releasing my pressure.

I then used my skill, [space breaking strike] as I proceeded to swipe my right claws while still crossed legged and left knuckle still on cheeks as the hind bear got decapitated. The hind bear's head then started to fall behind its back before it bounced in the ground as the hind bears body then started to topple forward.

Fenrir: *sigh annoying pests, you would have been much more useful earlier. Well, now that the annoyance is gone, why don't you start answering me?

The hobgoblins looked at me much more warily as their bodies, except for the one named rou, shivered in what I presume, fear.

Fenrir: ahahaha don't worry~, I won't kill any of you, maybe. Well, just fucking answer me already, I'm getting impatient here!

I released my [bloodlust] as the hobgoblins, except for rou, fell back on their ass while sweating buckets as rou's body now started to shake.

Rou: I-Its one of my abilities.

Fenrir: hmm~, then you should've just said so from the beginning. I wouldn't have used force if you did so, jeez.

Rou: now, will you let us go?

Fenrir: hmm~, nope, not yet.

Rou: what do you mean?!

Fenrir: what skill it is and the details of it, tell me all about it and I'll let you go.

Fenrir's thoughts: well, I could also just use the [status orb] but wheres the fun in that?

{status orb}

{by dropping a blood in this orb, this orb is able to materialise the status screen of the individual who dropped the blood. Has to wait for a minute till it is able to materialise the status screen of the individual who dropped the blood.}

Rou: ...I can't tell you that.

Fenrir: hmm, then death is it?

Rou: tch, its... its called [consumption absorption].

Fenrir: u-huh, continue.

Rou: it can take the abilities of anything I eat.

Fenrir: mhm mhm, so thats all?

Rou: thats all, tsk!

Fenrir's thoughts: what the fuck is that cheat skill?! Is that skill even allowed here?! I know my rapid and infinite growth skill is overpowered but this?! Isn't this even more overpowered!

Fenrir: hmm, I see. Well, you can go now so shoo! Or I might change my mind if you don't.

I then deactivated my [bloodlust] and [pressure] as the hobgoblins slowly backed up before running away. I then started to stand as I unconsciously grinned again as I looked at the directions the hobgoblins ran off to.

Fenrir's thoughts: they do say that a sheep is best eaten after its grown up and fed well so I wonder how delicious you'll become, rou.

Fenrir: hahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

My laugher reverberated around the forest while I also unconsciously released my pressure as the creatures nearby fainted. After a while of laughing, I stopped and continued on my way as I went even deeper in the forest and saw a lot of the new creatures like the copper squirrel, mad mamba, poisonous viper, and wild dogs as I killed some of them to taste them later before I finally found a surprising find for the day, a cave.

Might not be surprising at first but after I inspected that cave, I found out that the cave was a dungeon! I decided to put it to hold and explore it tomorrow as it was already getting late and I didn't want my siblings to worry.

I then teleported a little further away from my cabin before running towards it. After a while of running, I finally saw the cabin as korone and the others trained with their new weapons.

Fenrir: I'm back!

They then looked towards me as korone then dashed at my legs before attaching herself in it.

Korone: you're back, onii-chan!

Mio: welcome back, onii.

Haze: welcome back, brother.

Sesshomaru: mhm, welcome back.

I rubbed each of their heads before I then pulled korone out of my legs and proceeded to carry her in my arms.

Fenrir: so, how's training going? Are you all getting used to your weapons?

Korone: mhm mhm! It was super easy!

Mio: indeed, though it was kinda taxing on our mana.

Haze: like what mio said, using my weapon while infusing my mana into it is indeed taxing.

Sesshomaru: mhm, though mines much less taxing as I only need to slightly infuse mana in my blade before slashing it at enemies before they start to decompose and fall unlike their weapons.

Korone: mhm mhm!

Mio: well, what about you, onii. How was your day?

Fenrir: me? Well it was fine I guess. Though I might not be able to cook for lunch tomorrow.

Korone: eeeeh?!

Mio: hmm?!

Sesshomaru&haze: what?!

Fenrir: ahahaha, well, your brother here found a dungeon you see so...

Korone: a dungeon?! Can I come too, onii-chan?!

Fenrir: nope.

Korone: eeeeh?! But why though?

Fenrir: too risky.

Korone: but I'm already super strong!

Fenrir: I'll let you all enter it with me as soon as I finish scouting the insides of it. I still need to check if theres no baddies there ok, korone?

Korone: mhm, but you have to bring us there after you're done scouting!

Fenrir: sure, promise.

Korone: mhm, hyahahaha!

Sesshomaru: brother, do you know what creatures resided inside the dungeon?

Fenrir: mhm, it seems that most of them had wind attributes. Though I still haven't checked whats deeper in it since I still needed to come back and cook, ahahahaha.

Mio: what are you planning on cooking, onii? Can you can teach me on how to cook? Just so that maybe I can be the one to cook if you aren't here.

Fenrir: mhm, good idea, mion. Well, lets start now, come on. And you three, just play while we cook ok?

The three nodded as me and mion went inside the cabin as I then started to cook while also teaching mion about cooking and how to use the cooking artefacts. I also decided to leave most of the cooking artefacts here inside the cabin since it'll be troublesome if they couldn't eat while I'm not around.

We decided on cooking grilled spicy hind bear meat as it was simple to cook and tasty to eat. The cooking took awhile as I decided to pass time by talking to mion, and the three others who also went inside the cabin shortly after we entered. The grilled spicy hind bear meat was now finally finished cooking as both me and mion placed the food in basna leaves before we placed it in the table. We then ate happily before we finally slept as we called it a day.

• DAY 17

I was now inside the dungeon as I walked around while venturing it. I noticed that the further and deeper I go to the dungeon, the more vines, moss, all kinds of giant flowers, as well green crystals I see.

I did check with the [glasses of knowledge] to know what the green crystals were and I found out that they were called [wind stones], though I don't know why their called [wind stones] instead of wind crystals, I also couldn't care less. I also saw a few new creatures the old man never told me about, but thanks to this glasses of mine, One look and I easily knew what they were called.

{grizzbear}

{they are a branch evolution of hind bears. They look a lot like normal hind bears except for their green fur and white belly fur. These bears are able to manipulate wind as such, each swipe of their claws are able to shoot out sharp wind projectiles. These kinds of bears usually live alone much like a normal hind bear.{

Though much stronger than a normal hind bear, they were still quite easy for me to fight. I only need to pierce their necks once and their bodies drop dead. I also saw some kind of scorpion with orchids for tails, I almost stepped on one as they were quite camouflaged.

{arkan}

{arkans are scorpion like creatures are twice as large as an adult horned rabbit. Their claws and legs look like leaves while their tails look like orchid flowers. They hunt by using their front claws to cover their face before excreting sweet aroma thats able to hypnotise anything that smells it from their tails as they use it to lure out preys. Their sting poisons are thrice as potent as an average night viper.}

Those things were quite easy to ignore since they don't attack unless I'm close enough to one and their sweet aroma can't effect me as I was much more stronger than them. And though they are well camouflage, my [predict] skill is able to detect them when they're about to attack so their pretty easy to walk over and ignore if you're careful. I did kill some of them since I needed to see if they're tasty or if they have some use and they did, their tails anyways.

{arkan tail orchid}

{arkan tail orchids are able to hypnotise multiple weak creatures to coming close to it. They are used by arkans to lure their preys out. Infuse mana to release a hypnotising pheromone that will last for an hour.

Can only be used once}

I walked deeper in the dungeon full of vines, moss, and gigantic flowers as I saw more insects. Colossal bees to be exact, lots and lots of them.

{colossal bees}

{colossal bees are bee's that are as big as an adult horned rabbit. They have yellow and red patterns instead of yellow and black as well as having sharp, stake like legs. This bee's behave like wasps as they chase and attack any intruders near their hive. They, however, do not attack colossal queen bee's and will follow its orders, if another colossal queen bee tries to control a group that already has a queen, they will kill it. It is said that a sting from a single colossal bee is able to bring down an adult hind bear.}

It seems like this dungeon is their nest as about fifty or so colossal bees gathered around each other near on what seems to be holes at the side of the cave that they sometimes enter and go out from.

I went in closer to them before stopping as I noticed multiple red threads connecting to me and to the bees. I quickly used teleport to move away as it seems that the bees might have had some passive skill thats able to detect enemies.

Fenrir: fuuuh, that was close.

I went and teleported back near the colossal bee's nest as I decided on just killing them all at once using my [space breaking multi-strike] skill instead of checking them out.

I arrived at the nest as I turned my body towards the bees before punching out while using my skill, [space breaking multi-strike]. They all bursted into pieces as they all fell down the ground or hanged on vines. Green blood covered the outside of the nest with parts of their bodies as I went closer to see if all of them got killed in the attack.

Fenrir's thoughts: if their bee's then they should also have a queen.

After checking the outside, I then entered the nest by punching holes in it since I couldn't fit as the holes were as tiny as a stamp boar. I dug for a while as I finally saw something golden while also smelling extremely sweet.

Fenrir: honey!

I then quickly but carefully dug a tunnel to the honey to prevent bee blood and ground residues on hitting it as I then saw a giant colossal bee thrice as big as a normal one, also dead.

Fenrir: must be the queen, anyways, come to papa oh sweet nectar of gods, let me have a taste of your juicily juicy juice.

I proceeded to scoop a little bit of honey with one finger before licking it. I opened my eyes as the sweet honey was well, sweet and extremely tasty. I went ahead and placed them in jars before putting them inside my storage as I went out of the nest and continued my way deeper towards the dungeon.

Fenrir's thoughts: I guess they weren't the boss, well atleast I don't think so anyway. Something as weak as that colossal bee queen is definitely not a boss. The world must be joking if a boss can be killed in one hit.

After a while, I stopped venturing as I needed a little lunch break, I took out three pre made ramruk sandwich I made this morning out of my storage as I then placed some honey in the sandwich before eating it. I also rested for about half an hour before I continued on my way deeper the dungeon.

As I was venturing, I did keep on finding many colossal bee nest's as I went deeper in the dungeon, I of course collected all of their honeys. I also planned to leave some for, I guess farming so that I could eat them while not caring if my stock of honey become empty.

I encountered some more grizzbears that were eating some colossal bees probably because of their honey but I either passed them or killed them pretty easily, I did took some of their bodies as I planned on cooking them at a later date.

As I was ventured further, I finally saw some light as I quickly ran to it and saw that it was a massive room filled with gigantic trees and flowers, vines, wind stones, and some kind of creature that had a spike ball tail roaming around near the entrance.

{zancode}

{zancodes are enormous four-legged creatures reaching up to thirty three feet long. They have a squat body covered with bony plates that are studded with spikes, moss, and flowers. At the end of its tail, the plates of this creature fused up together to form a thick spiky club that the zancode could swing to fend off threats. This creature is extremely territorial to those not of its kind, they are also herbivores.}

I decided to put hold on entering the massive room as my stomach growled indicating that it was already getting late. I teleported back before going to the cabin as I then saw mion cooking while the other three waited in the table.

Fenrir: what's cooking, mion?

Mio: oh, onii, welcome back. I was just cooking some hind bear meat you taught me last night.

Korone: mhm! mhm! Mion was super good at cooking, onii-chan!

Haze: that is true, her cooking was almost as good as yours, brother.

Sesshomaru: mhm, indeed.

Fenrir: hmm, thats good since I'll be away again for lunch tomorrow too.

Sesshomaru: you still have not finished scouting the place, brother?

Fenrir: no, the place was pretty big. I think I still just entered halfway till the end of the dungeon.

Sesshomaru: that big, huh.

Fenrir: mhm, I did bring souvenirs.

Korone: souvenirs?!

Sesshomaru&haze: souvenirs?

Fenrir: yup, and I'm sure that you all are going to like this.

I then took out a jar full of honey from the colossal bee's before opening it as the aroma inside the jar was let out.

Mio: what the?!

Korone: smells sweet!! What is it, onii-chan?!

Sesshomaru: *gulp

Fenrir: korone, haze both of your saliva's spilling on the table.

Haze: *gulp what is that, brother?

Fenrir: tatadatta~, its the nectar of gods, honey!

Korone: honey?

The three others: honey?!

Fenrir: yup, this was one of the reasons I didn't finish scouting the dungeon today. They were quite hard to get since tons of colossal bees guarded them.

Korone: can I get a taste, onii-chan?!

Fenrir: later when mion is finished cooking, I also wanna taste her food.

Korone: mion, hurry up cooking!! We need to taste this honey or whatever!!

Mio: I know!!

Fenrir: theres no need to hurry, y'know.

Haze: indeed, please hurry, mio.

Sesshomaru: mhm mhm.

They ignored what I said as they looked at mion cooking before looking at the honey with sparkling eyes. Their mouths salivated again as I smiled wryly while hiding the honey back in my storage in fear that they might just lunge in for it. After a while, the grilled hind bear was finally done cooking as mion served the food in front of us.

Fenrir: wait, don't eat yet.

Korone: eh, why?

I then took out an honey jar before opening it up and spilling some honey on their grilled hind bear meat. The eyes of the four sparkled as I lastly and finally placed honey on mine before we started to eat it.

Korone: sweeesh!!

Mio: mmmhh!!

Sesshomaru&haze: *munch-munch

Fenrir: you guys really like honey, don't you?

Korone: mhm!mhm! *munch-munch

We all ate quickly and happily before we talked about our day for awhile before going to bed.

• DAY 18

I teleported back on the dungeon right after we finished eating as I saw that the zancode that was roaming around here yesterday already moved away. I entered the dungeon as I walked around, the dungeon looked more like a jungle with stone ceilings rather than an inner space of a cave. The inner space of the cave was most likely about a kilometre long and wide.

Fenrir's thoughts: I wonder, if I dig down next to my cabin, will I drop here? Just by looking at this place, probably.

I walked around the dungeon for a few minutes till I was ambushed by something that looked liked a spider. The spider like thing jumped above me while trying to bite me but thankfully, I was able to dodge by teleporting out of its range as I then took out my glasses and looked at the ambusher.

{arachnaphord}

{arachnaphords are gigantic jumping spider like insects. Their size can reach as big as a hind bear in their adulthood. They have different and unique coloured patterns in their backs though most of their body is coloured like their environment for camouflage. They use paralysing poison to capture and kill enemies. They usually hunt alone, they also like to hunt smaller preys than them rather than something as big or bigger.}

The arachnaphord jumped towards me again as I took my [lance celestial of clamor] and proceeded to pierce its mouth. The arachnaphord got electrified as smoke then started to emit on its body before it dropped on the ground with its legs twitching. The blood from in my lance evaporated as I then pierced it on the ground before moving towards the twitching spider. I took a look at its fangs before reaching out to it and proceeded to pluck it out as I then looked at its info.

{Arachnaphord's fang}

{fangs from a stealthy predator. These fangs are able to stun enemies though only once per fang.}

Fenrir's thoughts: hmm, pretty useful if I ever want to capture something. I guess I'll have to hunt a few more of these guys.

I went and placed the arachnaphord carcass inside my storage as I then took my [lance of celestial clamor] and continued my way. I encountered a few more grizzbears here and there though still no luck on finding another arachnaphord. Though I didn't find any arachnaphord's, I did find another zancode that was fighting a grizzbear.

I saw that grizzbear tried to attack the zancode using sharp air swipes only for it to spread apart when it hit the zancodes plated body. It then tried another strategy and ran in front of the zancode, the zancode saw this and turned around as its tail striked the sides of the bear. The bear flew back as I was sure I heard a few cracking sounds when the zancode's tail club striked the bear.

The bear then tried to get up only for it to fail as it then saw the zancode to coming near it and proceeded to attack with multiple air swipes that didn't have an effect on the zancode except for annoying it even further. The zancode arrived in front of the grizzbear as it then turned around and swung its tail club right on the grizzbear's head, smashing it.

I walked closer to the zancode who saw and looked at me. I wanted to test out how strong and tough a zancodes tail club is so I came much more closer to it. The zancode then turned around and swung its tail, its tail club then came closer towards me as I raised my right arm to block it and let it hit me in my human form. The tail club striked my arms as I begun flying rapidly for a while before I crashed on a tree.

Fenrir: pretty strong force you got there, buddy. You sure would be useful for our pack by being a piece of equipment!

I then rushed towards the zancode as it again tried to swing its tail club at me. I used the tail club as an footing as it lunged towards its head and pierced its skull with my lance.

The zancode dropped dead as I begun collecting its carcass. I then went ahead and sliced the tail off of the zancode before looking at it with the [glasses of knowledge].

{zancodes tail club}

{these tail clubs contain a similar material to the zancodes back plate. These tail clubs are as hard as steel so they are extremely good at being a blunt weapon.}

Fenrir: hmm, I should probably give some of the animal carcasses I carry here in my storage to miss shenma, I'm sure she'd find it a lot useful. Maybe she'd rank up to some kobold blacksmith or something.

I continued to venture the dungeon while also eating a few sandwiches for lunch as I killed more zancodes, arachnaphords, and any other creatures that tried to attack me before collecting their carcasses. I then continued venturing for about two hours before I finally found something, a giant gate.

Fenrir: hmm, this obviously must be the boss room the old man told me about. I mean, it can't be more obvious, can it?

I walked towards the gate as I then pushed it open. I held my lance on my right hand as I wore my [glasses of my knowledge] to know what the boss was. I finally saw what was behind the gate and saw what seems to be a gigantic room with multiple ruins in it covered in dark green glowing vines.

I walked further before suddenly looking behind as I saw that the doors suddenly closed shut. I then looked to my left as I heard the sounds of armour rattling and saw what was making them.

{el gore}

{This being has been blessed by the "demigod of deep green" and has the ability to manipulate dark vines in an extreme degree. He wears an armour worn by an general from an unknown kingdom while riding a lizard like creature made up of dark vines, his dark vines are also able to sap the life out of any living being it coils into.}

El gore then moved towards me while moving his lance in front of himself while I returned the favour by also running towards him with my lance in front. Both of our lance clashed as a strong shockwave was created that blew the nearby ruins away from both of us.

El gore then quickly lifted the spear he held in his left hand before swiping it quickly at me. The spear slashed my chest as I quickly teleported away and let my body regenerate its injuries.

Fenrir: tch, got careless there.

El gore looked around before it saw me and then controlled his vines to come towards me as it started to become some kind of serpent. I swiped my lance towards it as a wave of lightning hit it as it then crumbled away. I then jumped backwards as I held my lance in a throwing position while also infusing it with lightning.

Fenrir: [lightning palms]

I then proceeded to throw the lance at el gore as he tried to use the vines to cover himself. The attack pierced the vines before hitting el gore, a gaping hole was then formed in the middle of el gore's chest before it regenerated back quickly.

Fenrir: hmm?!

I then saw that el gore's body was also made from vines, its eyes then glowed dangerously red as it again ran towards me. As it begun to close in at me, I quickly used [teleport] to teleport to where my lance was before picking it up and aiming it at el gore again, but this time, I planned on something as I knew what el gore really was now.

Fenrir: [decelerate]

El gore tried to turn towards my voice only to found his body slowing down as I then charged my lance up with lightning.

Fenrir: [lightning palms]

I then threw the spear as it streaked in purple lights before hitting its target, the head. El gore's vines then started to dissipate as the armour he was wearing fell on the ground.

[mastery acquired: lance mastery]

[increase proficiency of using lances as well as experience taken when killing with a lance.]

[lance skill acquired: thunder pierce]

[an active skill that enables lightning to coil around the lance before shooting out in a straight line.]

[Lance skill acquired: thunderbolt throw]

[an active skill enables the users lance to absorb all of the nearby lighting it passes through when the user throws it.]

I stopped for a while to read the information on my new skills before I then went closer to the armour before picking up el gores broken helmet as I took something inside of it, a red broken core.

Fenrir: just as I though, a core. So that el gore really was a golem after all.

I then went ahead and looked at the armour as I picked it up before the information about it was shown.

[general of green's armour]

[an armour once used by a general. This armour is made up of green coloured steel with gold platings.][broken]

[lance of deep green]

[a lance blessed by the demigod of deep green. This lance is able to extend and control dark vines on itself if infused with mana. The dark vines can sap the life out of any living beings and transfer it to the user or the weapon, healing the user or repairing the weapon.]

[green glow spear]

[this spear holds the banner of an ancient empire. This spear can boost the strength of all allies nearby the user.]

Fenrir: hmm, what good find. I think this [lance of deep green] has the same rank as my [lance of celestial clamor], and this spear is definitely superbly useful for the pack if theres any group fights happening.

I placed the broken armour and the weapons in my storage as I then noticed a slightly small dark green gem half the size of my palms that was slightly glowing in the dark.

[el gore's soul gem]

[a soul gem that produces the "divine protection of the demigod of deep green"]

Fenrir's thoughts: what's this for? I'll just store it for now, maybe it'll be used for something someday.

I then placed the gem in my storage as I explored the area for a while as I found nothing but ruins, there was only one ruin temple left unchecked. I then moved to the last ruined temple as I entered it and saw a treasure chest.

Fenrir: *sigh well, at least this'll do I guess.

I went towards the treasure chest before opening it, I then saw a single ring in it as I took it and begun reading about its information.

[ring of absolute domination]

[a ring rewarded for the first one to clear the dungeon of deep green. This ring enables the user to dominate any creature weaker than them. User can control as many creatures as possible but if the dominated creatures combined strength exceeds the one third of the users, the domination will be nullified.]

Fenrir: Oh freya, what a lucky find!!! Now I'll finally be able to start a honey farm!

I then quickly teleported out of the boss room as I quickly moved around the dungeon as I was trying to find a colossal bee nest to contract or tame a colossal bee queen. After about an hour or two of searching, I finally found a nest of colossal bee's.

I then took out a few arkan tail orchid out of my storage before throwing them right next to the entrance of the nest as I then hid above a tree, waiting as I saw the bee's to gather up to the orchids.

After awhile, I then saw that the bee's actually formed a tiny mountain as they stacked of each other, trying to get to the arkan tail orchid's. I waited for a few more minutes till I finally saw the colossal bee queen get out of the nest before going towards the orchids.

Fenrir: finally!

I then teleported above the colossal bee queen and proceeded to touch its forehead as a red magic circle appeared at the place I touched before it shortly dissipated as the contract was finished.

Fenrir: yeeesss!!

I then teleported a little bit further out of the nest as I stood by, waiting for awhile for the orchids effects to dissipate as I carried the queen bee to prevent it from going to the orchids and being buried in the colossal bees stack.

They finally stopped gathering at the arkan tail orchid's after awhile as they then moved away from it before they detected and turned towards me while also looking at their queen in my grasps. Multiple red threads then started to appear as I sweated a little before ordering the queen bee to calm his group down.

The queen bee then buzzed as the red lines disappeared as the colossal bee's then returned to what they were last doing when I still didn't throw the arkan tail orchids at the entrance of their nest.

I then ordered the queen bee to make the bees give a bit of honey to me as she buzzed again before some of the colossal bee's entered the nest and then went out after awhile while carrying honeys in their mouth.

Fenrir's thoughts: maybe I should have ordered them to put it on a jar instead. Though I'll still take it, honey's still honey after all.

I then took out some jars as the bees proceeded to puke the honeys inside their honey stomach. All of the jars that I placed down was then filled to the brim as I proceeded to seal them back and placed them in my storage. I then let go of the queen bee I was carrying as it proceeded to hover around me.

I ordered it to return to its nest and only go out when I order her to and report if they are being attacked as I then went back home. I then cooked the food as I was quite early to arrive back home. The four others watched me cook while also talking about their day as they also asked me some questions.

Sesshomaru: brother, are you done scouting the dungeon?

Fenrir: mhm, I've even already beaten the boss, so, do you want to go in it tomorrow?

Sesshomaru: yes

Haze: me too, brother.

Korone: me too, me too!

Mio: can I come too, onii?

Fenrir: mhm sure, I'll bring you all there tomorrow. And since we'll have to hurry, I'll carry you all on my [werewolf form].

Korone: yaaay! We get to ride the brother express again, hyehehe!

We talked a bit before the food finished cooking as I served it up the table. We then begun to eat the food and then went to bed awhile after.

• DAY 19

I was now currently at my werewolf form as I carried four sleepy heads that are having a nap at my arms. We moved at quick speeds as I kept using the [accelerate] skill on myself, essentially accelerating my running speed, speeding me up.

I decided on training my time abilities yesterday night as right after I ranked up and received the blessing of the "great god of space-time and star sea", I started to slowly comprehend how time and space works as well as what it could do, and since I'm already starting to comprehend it more than how I used to, I wanted to see how far I could go with it.

I've e also been seeing some kind of man in all blue in my dreams showing me different space based or time based attacks since the first night Ive ranked up. The being kept repeating an attack over and over again seemingly like he was imprinting it to my brain that I needed to know that move or this move.

The being kept changing what skills or attacks he used in every three nights as he started with a seemingly "weak" attack in the first dream of controlling and stopping time on a small area and to the dream I just had last night where he was hardening space itself to create different shapes of different size.

Fenrir's thoughts: was that being teaching me some space-time based attacks or something? Or is it...

I started to think of different reasons of why the being was doing what he was doing for a while before I was woken up in my thoughts as korone started to wake up from her nap.

Korone: *yawn are we there yet, onii-chan?

Fenrir: no, not yet. Were still a bit far from it.

Korone: oh, mmmmhm, then I'll just get back't sleeeeemmnnnn *snore

Fenrir's thoughts: well, she's knocked out again. I might as well think about that dream later, better hurry to the dungeon.

I ran faster towards the dungeon as I passed through some horned horses and hind bears as I proceeded to ignore them. My speed made it so that none of the beasts in forest could catch up to me while my "small" figure made me able to move to the forest flexibly.

It took about an hour or so till we finally arrived at the dungeon as the four sleepy heads who were already awake jumped down my arms and proceeded to look around.

Fenrir: well, here we are so, lets go.

The four nodded as we then entered the dungeon as I kept using my [accelerate] skill on some plants as they grew rapidly before slowly wilting away.

I repeated this for training until we arrived almost halfway to the inner space of the dungeon and encountered a grizzbear eating a single colossal bee.

Korone: look onii-chan, it looks just like a hind bear, but green!

Mio: thats because their both bears, korone.

Haze: is that bear strong, brother?

Fenrir: mhm, it's fairly strong I guess. Though its much stronger than a hind bear.

Sesshomaru: may I fight it, brother?

Korone: I wanna fight it too, onii-chan!!

Fenrir: hmm~, well sure. All of you, go ahead and show me how much you've improved.

The four nodded as the grizzbear looked at us and growled before standing up in two feet as it dropped the colossal bee carcass on the ground.

Korone: I call first!

Korone then ran as she placed her arms behind her back while also crouching. She then proceeded to infuse mana in her gloves as she used the blasts from her gloves to propel herself faster towards the bear.

Mio: *sigh she never learns, does she?

Fenrir: well, she's just the same as sesshomaru and haze there.

Mio: there?

Mion then looked at her sides as she saw that sesshomaru and haze weren't there.

Mio: eh?

Fenrir: they're over there, mion.

I then pointed in front of me as mion followed to where I pointed my finger and saw her three siblings coming towards the grizzbear while also dodging its wind attacks.

Mio: *sigh why are they so reckless?

Fenrir: you're not going there too, mion?

Mio: no, I'll let them have it. They'll be enough for it, after all.

Fenrir: well, it'd probably be overkill if you helped them too, hahahaha.

Mio: mhm, true.

Mion and I then looked back to the grizzbear as we saw korone punching the head of the grizzbear, causing an explosion.

Korone: falcon pu~nch! Hyahahahaha!

Korone then proceeded to punch three more times at the grizzbears body as gravity begun pulling her down while haze and sesshomaru jumped to the sides and sliced both the grizzbears arms off.

Sesshomaru: hmph, weakling.

Haze: this is not exciting enough.

Sesshomaru and haze then both landed on the ground as they crouched before they swung their blades again towards the legs of the grizzbear, cutting it off. The grizzbear then fell on the ground as it died, unable to even injure its opponent. The three then turned towards both me and mion before going back to our side.

Korone: did you see how cool I was, onii-chan!?

Fenrir: mhm, the three of you improved a lot on you're fighting style.

Mio: *sigh you three do know that being reckless might harm you someday, right?

Sesshomaru: that bear was simply a weakling.

Haze: indeed, it didn't even give us a challenge.

Korone: mhm mhm, super weak.

Mion placed her palms on her face as she sighed before shaking her head. We continued on our way deep in the dungeon as korone almost stepped on a arkan but was able to jump back quickly thanks to her crazy instincts and the [predict] skill every kobold has, she then proceeded to kill it by blasting a shockwave made up of flame as the arkan caught fire and burnt to death.

Korone: hyahahaha that was close!

Mio: thats why I said to not run in by yourself, you almost got hurt again.

Korone: sorry, mion mama!

Mio: what do you mean by "mion mama"?!

Fenrir: *chuckle mion mama huh, a very accurate title if you ask me.

Mio: what do you mean by that, onii?!

Korone: well, mion's always overprotective like a birds mama!

Mio: no I'm not that overprotective, am I?!

We had a little laugh at mion as we proceeded to continue on our way and finally saw the dungeons inner space and proceeded to have a lunch break inside it.

After about half an hour of eating and resting, we then continued our way as we saw a zancode eating leaves at a bush as korone then again for the dozenth of times rushed towards it while yelling and laughing.

The two twins weren't able to run towards the zancode as they were held back in the back of their collar by mion.

Korone then looked behind her as she mocked the twin while making "bleh" face.

Korone: ahyahahaha, mama mion caught two suckers!!

As korone was making turning towards us while making a bleh face, I then noticed some bush rustle as I then saw eight red eyes on it and finally knew what it was, an arachnaphord. The arachnaphord jumped towards korone as the latter turned towards the ambusher and widened her eyes in shock.

Fenrir: korone!!!

In panic, I reached my hands towards her as mana seemed to gather towards me. I then saw the arachnaphord frozen in air as korone crashed in the ground as I then teleported right next to her before I took her and teleported back to where mion and the twins were.

Fenrir: are you alright, korone?!

Korone: a-ah mhm, just a little scratch from the ground.

Fenrir: *sigh thank odin. Anyways, you better not run in by yourself again, understand, korone?!

Korone: mhm...

Korones eyes contained tears as it seemed like it was about to fall down her cheeks. I calmed down as I hugged korone as she proceeded to cry in my chest.

Fenrir: I'm sorry for yelling, korone.

Korone: *sniff waaaaah, I was so scared, onii-chan!

Fenrir: mhm, you're safe now, onii-chans here already.

Korone continued to cry as I rubbed her head gently before looking at the frozen arachnaphord.

*groowl!

I then saw the zancode running towards us as mion then proceeded to take her odachi out of its scabbard. She then infused mana into it as the odachi summoned a magnitude of red plum blossoms. Mion then proceeded to point her odachi towards the zancode as all of the red plum blossoms moved towards it, swallowing it whole.

The red plum blossoms then returned back to mions side like a boomerang as I saw that the zancode was full of cuts and even some of its skin was missing. The zancode then crashed on its side as it breathed heavily while also bleeding excessively. We then stopped for awhile while we waited for korone to calm down as mion went towards the zancode and finished it off.

Fenrir's thoughts: of course she'd be scared of what just happened, after all, she's only still a kid.

After korone calmed down, I then proceeded to move towards the frozen arachnaphord checking it out as I also noticed that my mana was slowly being drained.

Fenrir's thoughts: isn't this the same move that the being used in my first dream, did I unconsciously use it?

I then stopped giving mana towards the arachnaphord as it fell and looked around for awhile, confused before It then saw me and tried to jump at me. I then teleported back, not caring that my siblings are watching before I then tried to stop the time around the arachnaphord again. The move worked as it stopped midair again. I proceeded to kill the spider as I returned to my siblings side.

Korone: *sniff how did you do that, onii-chan?! You just disappeared and then reappeared and the spider stopped in the air!!

Mio: was that a skill, onii?

Fenrir: mhm, its a skill.

Sesshomaru: dies that skill enable you to teleport, brother?

Fenrir: mhm, you really are smart sesshomaru.

Mio: and how were you able to freeze the spider midair, onii?

Fenrir: I stopped the time around the spider.

The four: stopped time?!!

Fenrir: mhm, impressive right?

Mio: *mumble if you were able to teleport and stop time... onii, you were blessed by the "great god of space-time and star sea" weren't you?

Fenrir: hahahaha my siblings really are smart. Yes, I am blessed by the "great god of space-time and star sea".

Haze: but wheres the mark that indicates that you're blessed by the "great god of space-time and star sea", brother?

Fenrir: in my eyes and in my werewolf forms right palms.

I then pointed at my eyes before I transformed into a werewolf as I then let them see my right palm as they saw a dark blue circle with glowing light blue roman numerals encircling inside it.

Korone: whooaaah, I've never seen that, that looks so cool!!

Fenrir: well, you four only saw my [werewolf form] a few times after all. And this marks well hidden in my palms so nobodies ever saw it except for me, until now that is.

Mio: were you keeping it as a secret from everyone, onii?

Fenrir: yup, you guys are the first one to know about it. Can you four keep this as a secret to anyone else?

Korone: even to grandpa nencho?

Fenrir: mhm, even to grandpa nencho.

The four nodded as we then continued on venturing the dungeon. Korone went back to her usual self though she's more self aware of the surroundings and stopped rushing at enemies, not before looking at her surroundings. I also looked at the new ability I gained as I trained on using it efficiently.

[temporal lock]

[the ability to completely stop time in an area. Stronger enemies may have a certain resistance to the time stop.] [Current limitations of five cubic metre's.]

Fenrir's thoughts: so my current limit is five cubic metres huh, Its only enough to encase a single hind bear. Its already strong enough to be one of my main skills, if I increase its limitation then I'd definitely be one of my strong skills, if not, strongest skill yet.

I decided on training my skill as soon as now. I used it on moving targets to efficiently better my aim as well as the skill. I used it on some colossal bees as well as the air attacks from grizzbears that the four fought, supporting them. I also controlled the area that'll be affected by the time stop so as to not freeze my siblings or an ally.

After long, we headed outside the dungeon as we then saw that the sky was already dark. We decided on heading back to the cabin without teleporting as I wanted to try my [wolf transformation] since I've yet tried it.

Fur then begun to grow in my body, covering it, as I became a werewolf before I continued growing as my clothes ripped and tore before I finally stopped growing and fully transformed into a ten metre gigantic wolf.

Fenrir: awooooooo!!!

Korone: woah!! You're so big, onii-chan!

Fenrir: *chuckle mhm now, you four, jump on my back.

I then laid down as the four then jumped at my back, I then proceeded to dash quickly towards where my cabin was located as I disregarded the trees and beasts. But as I was halfway towards our cabin, I noticed some trees on fire in the distance and proceeded to get closer to it. I then saw the black hobgoblin fighting one of the four lords of the forest, the red bear.

The red bear is said to be a able to breath out fire thats able to incinerate anything and everything on its path. The red bear looked just like a hind bear only that it has red fur and a flaming shoulder. The red bear is also larger and stronger than that of a normal hind bear or a grizzbear.

Korone: wooaaaaah! Onii-chan, what is that?!

Fenrir: thats one of the four lords of the forest, korone.

Korone: so theres three more beasts as strong as that?

Fenrir: no, theres only one left.

Korone: eh, why? theres four lords right?

Fenrir: thats because I killed two of the four lords of the forest already.

Korone: waow, onii-chan really is strong!!

Fenrir: *chuckle

Sesshomaru: brother, may we fight that lord?

Fenrir: hmm~, no. That bears already taken.

Sesshomaru: hmm?

Fenrir: look at it closely.

Sesshomaru and the others then looked towards the red bear closely as they saw a black hobgoblin seemingly blending in the night. The black hobgoblin kept his distance from the red bear while also shooting out different magic spells as the red bear chased after him.

Fenrir: see?

Sesshomaru: *sigh what a shame.

Fenrir: well, lets continue on our way.

We went back on our way towards the cabin, leaving the black hobgoblin to fend off the red bear by himself. A little while later, we arrived at the lake near the cabin as I dropped the four down and proceeded looked at my reflection in the water and finally saw what I looked like in my wolf form.

My fur was still as dark as my werewolf form though it has some tint of dark blue in it while the end of my tail was fully coloured in dark blue. My eyes was also the same, still light blue as I also saw the same mark I had on my palms when I was a werewolf in the middle of my forehead.

Fenrir's thoughts: hmm~, so this is how I look huh?

Korone: onii-chan, stop looking at yourself!! Were hungry!

I chuckled as I then went to the forest and transformed back to my human form. I then took some clothes in my [space-time storage] as I wore it before going to the cabin to cook the food for the night.

• DAY 20

After acquiring the [temporal lock] skill yesterday, I decided to dedicate the whole day in training both my time and space manipulation and control. I was walking around the eastern side of the forest up in the mountains as I decided that a ramruk's lightning attacks are perfect for my [temporal lock] skill.

My training consisted of ramruk's attacking me with lightning that are obviously quick as I stop the attack from hitting me, a simple thing to say yet its so hard to do.

My [temporal lock] sometimes would miss its target I was either too early on deploying the skill or too late, though thats also how I learned a new way of using the skill. by using [temporal lock] in front of an incoming attack, the attack would stop and freeze as they would enter the skills area of effect. It's a pretty useful defensive usage of the skill, though its a shame that I didn't receive a new skill from doing it.

I also tried solidifying space like how the being did in my dreams, though I still wasn't able to do it even after a lot of tries and an hour wasted.

Fenrir's thoughts: It might be because I still haven't comprehended space enough to use that move, I should try the second skill the being did after I eat and see if I could do it.

After I finished eating, I started my testing as I proceeded to concentrate as hard as I can as I wanted to make the rock far in front of me to teleport near me. The ability that the being used on the fourth dream basically lets its user teleport other things far or near the user to another place, its a pretty useful ability that lets me have easier time with long ranged enemies or enemies I can't easily reach.

After about half an hour, I was about to give up as I gave it one last try as I started to imagine that I was the rock that I was going to teleport.

After a few seconds of concentrating, mana finally started to gather towards me as a gigantic rock suddenly appeared above me. I quickly teleported out of the rocks hit range as I heard a familiar voice in my head.

[new skill acquired]

[distance manipulation]

[manipulate the distance of something or someone by adding or depleting space in between two points]

Fenrir: hahahahaha I finally got it!! Though I should probably train it more to not misplace it next time I use it.

I then trained the [distance manipulation] skill on objects before using it on other living beings like the fraze birds that keeps flying here and there in this mountain. I used [distance manipulation] on the fraze falcon as the skill missed and instead caught a fraze bird.

The fraze bird screeched confusedly as the fraze falcon and the flock of fraze bird's surrounding it looked at my direction. They then started to shoot their hardened feathers out at me as I proceeded to use the [temporal lock] skill in front of myself. The skill blocked the attacks as the feathers and the fraze bird I that screeched froze midair.

I then used my [distance manipulation] again as the fraze falcon disappeared on where it was and reappeared inside my [temporal lock]s area of affect. The other fraze birds looked confusedly as to how their leader suddenly disappeared and reappeared next to me, unmoving.

They ceased fire as I then used my [decelerate] skill multiple times as all of them begun to slow down and started to fall before they then crashed on the ground where I finished them off.

I then looked at the frozen fraze falcon that I teleported inside the area where time stopped as I got an idea.

Fenrir's thoughts: can I move the area where time was stopped if I used my [distance manipulation] skill on it?

I then tried it out as I used my [distance manipulation] skill on where the frozen fraze bird and falcon was. I then noticed that the air seemed to become jelly like as the fraze bird and falcon started to bend unnaturally. I then came close and proceeded to touch the transparent jelly like substance as I felt like I was touching something elastic.

[new skill acquired]

[space-time solidification]

[The user can solidify space-time, with the level of solidity going from loose jelly to metal-like hardness or beyond.]

Fenrir: no way?! Isn't this the same as the being in my dreams did then?! And I did it on accident, hahahahaha!!!

I then tried to control the solidified space and time as it twisted like a towel being drained of water.

Fenrir's thoughts: I'm surprised that the bird's aren't even bleeding, I guess it's because time's stopped inside this thing.

I then experimented with the skill for a while as I then tested it out by using it to seal and capture targets or to surround me for an "unbreakable" barrier. The first test of constricting a target worked as I used the solidified space and time to either constrict the targets like a rope or surrounding them with it forming an orb.

The second test was also successful as the fraze birds physical attacks or the ramruk's elemental attacks were blocked by the solidified space and time. Though it didn't stop the attack midair like how the skill [temporal lock] does as it just blocks them like a shield.

I trained the skills as I was getting better at using and utilising it in battle. I stopped as I looked at the sunset in the distance as I then teleported back to our cabin and called it a day.
