Probably no chapter this weekend. I'm still working on planning some things out, but so far, here is a brief overview of each one.

Mini Arc 5 - Anzio

Spoiler :

This arc is mostly going to be filler. Not much happens other than to show some of the other things that occur in the world. Garnet and Riley spend some time in Anzio, learning about some of the different groups, organizations, and their purposes. This will include an auction house, mages, sponsored expeditions, and maybe a few bandits. However, none of these work out in helping Garnet reach Constantinople, but with a bit of luck, she ends up being able to create Animal Vessels for her Cerberus. Someone will send her a message, telling her to go to Constantinople,  the bait is the spell for creating a Humanoid Vessel, but she is unable to meet the requirements to create it. A Humanoid Vessel is different from a true Resurrection Spell that is needed to give Riley her life back, but it is the first major step. However, a Vessel can allow Garnet to maintain a summon indefinitely until its body is destroyed without draining her own mana past the initial summon.

Mini Arc 6 - Journey to Constantinople

Spoiler :

Garnet and Riley make their way East to Constantinople, seeing a few other villages and cities. Some of them have their own problems, but we will also see the introduction of a force of nature, one that controls the flow of waters in the sea. We will also see another Dark Mage, but significantly weaker than Garnet because they are not a Chaos Mage. However, this Dark Mage will survive the counter and come back stronger in the next arc. He will have his own Succubus summon, but Garnet's vastly superior strength proves to be too much for the Dark Mage.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

Mini Arc 7 - Constantinople

Spoiler :

Garnet will meet the creature that beat Zedd. A water type artificial life form created by the previous Hero in order to protect the secret library under Constantinople. It has been protecting the secret library because it contains the Mana Reactor, a tool that will allow Garnet to apply her own mana to it and start to rebuild Constantinople by first protecting it from additional raiders and eventually, the Dark Mage from the previous arc as he returns stronger than ever in an attempt to seize the knowledge of Constantinople. Afterwards, Garnet discovers that there are a total of five artificial life forms created. The three that sacrificed themselves to protect Constantinople by scorching its surface, the one guarding the secret library, and Anna.

Mini Arc 8 - The War for Constantinople

Spoiler :

Other countries are interested in the spoils of Constantinople. They begin to see Garnet as someone who is trying to monopolize the resources and knowledge of Constantinople for her own benefit, resulting in several other groups declaring war. Garnet has to protect Constantinople and secure her rightful ownership of it by protecting it. People begin to break non-aggression treaties and pacts in an attempt to do so. This leads a few places exposed for Invasions, leading up to the arrival of a new Invader
