But adhering to the principle of "where there's smoke, there's no harm," the Hunter emerged unscathed. About twenty to thirty meters from the arrow's impact point, she frowned ...
2025-06-09 20:34:00 +0000 UTC View PostConsidering the Rock Turtle's immense size, its eyes alone must be at least five meters in diameter.

Lyney was frantic. The situation had spiraled far beyond his expectatio...

"Your strength is truly remarkable."

Navia was stunned, but one thing remained crystal clear: she had to rescue her Teacher!

Such a massive quantity of Pneumousia Energy would never be buried within Fontaine itself—the nobles wouldn't risk blowing themselves to smithereens along with the rest of the city.
This meant the Pneumousia Energy could only be buried beneath the...
