Lyndric Fayne shifted the conversation, trying to find common ground with the Destruction Girl. She already knew he could build a space-time machine and send her back to the era of the Rune Civilization, so her expression was surprisingly calm, almost cooperative. It made him wonder if she ever worried at all.Over the next few days, Lyndric studied the Rune-era civilization and absorbed as much knowledge as he could from the Destruction Girl. He learned the basics of their rune technology, simple patterns of energy that could produce small effects. Compared to his sword-controlling technique from his cultivation world, they were primitive. The arrays he could form on his own were far more efficient and powerful. Still, he felt it worthwhile to teach her a few simple magical arrays. For him, they were trivial. For her, who had built her combat entirely around runes, even basic arrays were transformative.Every time she mastered one of the arrays, her power surged. He could see it in t

The white feather hovered in the air, flickering like it had a mind of its own. It moved fast—too fast—trailing them like a shadow that refused to disappear. It twisted, curled, and seemed almost alive.Then, from the swirling energy, it started to change. Slowly at first, then faster, the feather stretched, reshaped, and finally became a towering figure.

“Going on a trip! Awesome! Where are we going?” An Feihua practically bounced on her toes, eyes wide with excitement.Little Mary had overheard Lyndric Fayne talking about a journey and practically jumped up, her face lit with pure joy. “A trip! Finally! I can’t wait!”Ripper Girl gave a tiny, rare smile, while Destruction Girl stayed stoic as ever. But Lyndric noticed it—just a flicker in her icy gaze. Curiosity. Maybe even a hint of excitement. She wanted to go too.Seeing his companions’ reactions, Lyndric leaned back a bit and said, “We’ve already visited way too many tourist planets. Honestly… nothing left there is really thrilling.”He paused, letting his words sink in. Then he added, “This time, we’re going somewhere else. Another dimension. A world full of dragon knights, elves, dwarves… all sorts of magical creatures. Places no one in our universe has ever seen.”Ripper Girl tilted her head. “And how exactly are we getting there?”Lyndric smirked. “Your grandmother’s stitched
