Antonnie hurriedly walked into Yakov's house. He then headed to a room filled with various strange metal tools hanging on the walls, as well as several sacks and wooden boxes containing various ingredients for potion-making. Starting from roots, dried leaves, dried mushrooms, and also some animal skins and horns filling each neatly arranged wooden box."Is the mushroom ready?" Antonnie asked while lifting a large pot of deep black color. An old pot that might be over 1,000 years old."Yes... I have prepared it," Yakov replied while pointing to a box of dried mushrooms with a clean white color that was not far from where Antonnie was standing."The dried peach tea leaves are next to the mushrooms, and the small stump is in the rice sack near the stove," explained Yakov again.Antonnie then asked Javier to fetch a bucket of water and some logs. Yakov helped Antonnie prepare the fire, as well as other components besides the four main ingredients. Smoke began to rise from the heated pan.

Noticing something odd, Tha immediately ran towards the Moon Devil Castle. Meanwhile, the stone guard soldier who had approached Tha earlier seemed to connect as Tha ran towards the castle the creature was guarding. Anthonius and the others seemed unaware that Tha was now inside the castle. They are still trying to inspect the area around the Barren Land of Inais as per Tha's previous orders. Including Anthonius and Dima, who were also discussing how to prevent water or ice from easily evaporating in that place so that Dima could use his magic without any obstacles.Meanwhile, inside the Moon Devil Castle, Tha immediately searched for several stone guardian statues assigned by the monks to guard the place. Their numbers might not be as many as 50 or 70 years ago. Since the annual ritual practice of sacrificing small children was banned and several monks were executed for all the treason they committed against the law created by Meuz, the castle now only has 4 monks on duty, and of cou

"Miss Tha..., where have you been?" asked Anthonius."You suddenly disappeared. Without telling us where you were going. I even detected the surrounding magical pressure to find your whereabouts, but strangely, your magical pressure suddenly disappeared in the Moon Demon Castle," said Anthonius."What are you saying?!" Tha asked back, as she did not understand the words that Anthonius had just said regarding the sudden disappearance of her magical energy pressure."I didn't go anywhere. I'm still here. I entered the Castle of the Moon Demon," Tha said with such confidence."Really?" replied Anthonius as if he couldn't believe what Tha had just said.Tha tried to ignore the words that Anthonius had just said. Because what she had experienced before was enough to make her confused and also annoyed. Tha felt both annoyed and angry with Azalea. Because, in her opinion, Azalea might have lied to her and Antonnie about Yokr Xarya's escape from prison. With what Tha had just discovered in th

After Tha finished her first training session with the main investigative team members and sent them back to the City of Filanesia, she hurriedly used a teleportation potion to head towards the Breezea Marsh area, or more precisely, the mangrove forest around the marsh where Tha had sealed Yokr Xarya's Manji, who had slaughtered the wizards in Terra.As soon as Tha arrived at the location, a field of magical lavender flowers welcomed her. Thousands, or perhaps even millions, of lavender stalks, all made of crystal with the sharpness of orichalcum swords, filled the area, while in the middle of the field, a cage resembling a giant birdcage hung freely in the air. Inside the cage, a strange lump of liquid that seemed to be bubbling as if it were boiling was partially flowing out. Dripping onto the lavender plants below, leaving behind dark stains with a much more pungent aroma compared to a human corpse. Meanwhile, near the cage, the remains of Manji's body, which had completely decompo

"Dima..., as a front guard. What do you think is the most effective way to destroy Meuz's protective barrier?" Tha asked.Dima was taken aback, staring at Tha with a look of disbelief. "Miss, what do you mean by asking me this question? Are you planning to destroy the protective barrier of Terra that Meuz created?" Dima asked in panic. Because Dima knows what Tha's character is like after spending a few days with the blood sorcerer. According to Dima, Tha is someone who is very hard to read and often makes very surprising decisions."No!" He said hurriedly, afraid that Dima might misunderstand the reason he asked her that question."You surely remember the training session with me, and it turned out that Azalea was the one who filled in for that session?!" Tha asked, and Dima nodded in agreement."Yes, Miss, I still remember," Dima replied then."At that time, Meuz and I had to go to the Desolate Desert of No Return because there were indications that Terra's protective barrier had be
