"So, what next?" Amarico asked as she puts another tree branch inside the makeshift campfire that Ada had made "Haven't I said this before? We can makeup a plan after we get Kate her oath... the bandits made their camp near the castle so it gives us an advantage" Ada said as she was helping out Kate wrap Mizu's shoulders with some bandages that Ada had in her bag "Wasn't the castle's bridge destroyed? How are we gonna make it across?" Amarico asked as she sat down and puts both of her hands near it "Ahh... that feels so warm..." The acrid smell of charred wood fills the air, as the group was enjoying the small quiet time that they had receive after killing a large enemy. "No... actually... The leader of Summer Isle had made a bridge back then using her attunement back when I still wasn't a Queen.." Ada smiled as she finished wrapping Mizu's shoulders. "Heh... She used most of her Ether when making it and she complained for a whole week..." Ada then blushed as she shook her head.

"This is where the scribbles of the oath are your majesty.." Sero pointed at some writings on the wall, it mostly looked like random words but that is for the average person, Kate however sees more than what meets the eyes."Can I start reading it...?" Kate looked at the group"Of course, go on ahead" Mizu then guided her to the writings as he then puts her hand on the worbs, Kate felt the immense aura from it"O-Okay, I think I can handle this now" Kate then started to slowly move her hands around the writings as she slowly felt that the aura was dissipating and slowly going through her blindfold and then her eyes.Kate used her other hand to tighten her blindfold as she was almost finished with trying to claim her oath."I vow to not let the horrors of the world pierce my tightly fastened blindfold. Everything is simply as we choose to perceive it" Kate chanted slowly as then an eye appeared infront of her blindfold. She looked at the group as she had her mouth agape."I-I can see y

"Alright, seems like theres an opening there..." Ada pointed out a huge door that leads to the insides of the camp, most likely a place where the bandits resupply."There's probably some of them inside there so, weapon's up... We can't take any chances... If we alert all of them then the plan might be a bust" Ada then slowly looked at the other side of the door as she saw two bandits standing in front of a weapon cache.Ada signaled Amarico to kill the other bandit and meanwhile she signaled to Mizu that he should stay here for now to guard. Mizu simply nodded as he then went and unsheathes his sword. The two ladies slowly creeped up behind the bandits as they went to their necks as one sliced, the other cracked. No noise were made when they killed both of them. Ada did a psst sound to alert Mizu he can go inside now.Mizu went in as he saw Amarico hiding the two bodies inside a barrel as she looked at the group "What's next?" Amarico asked as she rubs her fist gauntlets on a piece

Mizu immediately went down as he saw 3 bandits with their backs turned to the exit"Hey what was that!?" One of the bandits shouted"I don't know, go check! Their shouting intruders or something!" A girl bandit shouted to the other one"Sorry, can't let you do that!" Mizu immediately cut all three's necks as he looked at the remaining bandits who saw him"Well atleast I got 3 down" Mizu immediately parried an incoming attackAmarico and Ada we're killing the drunk bandits first as the others were still trying to grab their weapon"Remember, the Mindweaver is dangerous!" Ada immediately stabbed a guy 10 times in one second as she moved to the other drunk person"I get it I get it! Focus on the bandits first!" Amarico immediately parried an attack from a resupplied banditMizu then used his newly acquired skill called Fire Blade on 2 bandits as they started to burn to death."Shit, everyone he's a Flameweaver! Don't stay close!" One bandit shouted as he immediately tried to strike Mizu

After getting hit by the purple fog he and falling to the floor. Mizu was suddenly dropped inside a city, the sky was black as there were corals everywhere. The buildings and the surroundings were covered in coral.He saw Ada and Amarico along with Kate being surrounded by Megalodaunts, about to be eaten "MIZU HELP US" Kate shouted as she screamed for his help.He tried to move.But he was at the same place. He looked downwards as he saw both of his legs chopped offHe tried to reach out for them but he couldnt as both of his arms were chained by an unknown chain.He tried to shout or scream but his mouth was sealed shut by stitches. He couldn't do anything but then a light shone infront of him as someone appeared"Umi Mizu, do not fret... This is an illusion... Simply a mere concept made by your own mind..."A Goddess appeared infront of him."I Navae shall guide you, do not be lost to this illusion... This is merely something that makes you not be able to move... You are beloved b
