Chapter 9

(Natsumi's POV)

"Pierce it!"

GRAAA!!

BAM!

A loud collision shook the village house that I was standing. It was too great that I was pushed back

"Ahhh!"

I exclaimed, my attack wasn't weak niether does it, so for me to be pushed back like that, means that its swing force was greater than my arrow. I stood up hurriedly, and took another arrow from my quiver

Thud!

Swoosh

After a heavy stomp, the great sword {Goblin Champion} then dashed forward, tightly grip its sword on its right. And when it was about to make a huge swing, I then aim at it

"Combine them, [Meld]"

"[Tempest Storm]+[Gales Embrace]+[Sparrow Shot]"

Swishh

Then fired, and aimed at its right arm. But before my arrow could hit its arm, it then stomp its right foot then spin from its right, and dodge the arrow I fired. It then stomp its left foot and swing its great sword. I hurriedly jump back and took another arrow from my quiver. I took aim while in mid-air

"Combine them, [Meld]"

"[Tempest Storm]+[Gales Embrace]+[Swift Shot]"

And shot it right at its head. It then swiftly blocked my arrow

Clank

But the impact still pushed the {Goblin Champion} back, but it wasn't enough. I then took another 2 arrows and fired both in its left and right

"Combine them, [Meld]"

"[Tempest Storm]+[Gales Embrace]+[Swift Shot]+[Curve Shot]"

After I landed, I then took another arrow, and aim at its abdomen

"Combine them, [Meld]"

"[Tempest Storm]+[Gales Embrace]+[Swift Shot]+[Sparrow Shot]"

As I shoot 3 arrows at it, it then spin itself around, and made a huge spinning swing to cut 3 of my arrows

Tsk

As I clicked my tongue, right now, if I don't fire this thing with a much powerful arrows, it will end of me losing. As I took another arrow, 2, I then aimed at its head

"Combine them, [Meld]"

"[Tempest Storm]+[Gales Embrace]+[Sparrow Shot]+[Gale Storm]"

A strong tornado like shot was fired at the {Goblin Champion}.[Gales Storm] is a frontal wind burst strike. As it tried to parry it, it then lost its balance. Like a ravenous beast spotted its prey, the {Goblin Champion} made a defenseless opening at its neck. I then rushingly took an arrow, and aimed at its wide open neck

"Combine them, [Meld]"

"[Tempest Storm]+[Gales Embrace]+[Gale Storm]+[Gale Storm]"

Swissh

As I didn't want to waste such opportunity, I then released a much stronger and faster arrow, like a blink in an eye, the arrow pierce the {Goblin Champion}s neck, and drilled it, bursting its head away from its body. Like a squash tomato, it pops, but I didn't stop. I took another arrow, incase this monster had another skill in hand, I then aimed at its chest

"Combine them, [Meld]"

"[Tempest Storm]+[Gales Embrace]+[Gale Storm]+[Gale Storm]"

And shoot at its chest, and made a huge hole as big as its 2 fist was formed, drilling its heart and went through. The {Goblin Champion} then stumbled and made a loud fall

Thud!

After I made sure it's already dead, and not coming back with an extra skill, or an exclusive skill, I then hasten myself and try to assist that flat-loli.

(Sheryl's POV)

After those {Goblin champions} keep shooting ground after ground into us, I keep dodging and dodging them, even the house that I was hiding were bombart by those flying debris, some of the walls crumbled. I went from one spot to another, swiftly as I could. These punks were blinded by the [Mist] I have created, which made them ferociously firing at us, without batting an eye if they could hit us or not. I was annoyed to their continuous rage throw. After a minute or 2, they've stop, and as I tried to look outside, a ground as big as a boulder was thrown at Natsumi's direction, then the great sword {Goblin Champion} jump off

Tsk

"That cow-tito better be okay"

I muttered. I then look back and stared at the [Mist]. Right now, the plan that Natsumi and I planned didn't work, so I better improvise. I then activated [Abyssal Blade], [Concealment], and [Swift Feet], but as to be cautious, I then activated [Void Increment], and [Shin'en no Shuen] (note: starring in the abyss; correct me).

[Void Increment] help me boost my daggers reach, and the dark aura it emitted, making it more dealier and sharper, while [Shi'en no Shuen] is skill I used to cover myself with black cloak, it boost my mobility and conceal myself, it only last for 2 minutes or 3, it could par against my [Araneae], but because of its short duration, I only used it for a last minute resort.

As I already made my preparations, I then throw 10 forks at the mist, then dashed myself to my right. I patietly waiting for their reactions, but I got none. I throw again another 10 forks, this time I used [Hornet Sting], but I still got none. After I circled the place for 2 times already, I then took a fan like object at the house, ran myself around the [Mist], while I point my fan at it. As my speed is boost with [Araneae] and [Shi'en no Shuen], I was able circled it enough to make a mini whirlpool like wind, and lift the [Mist]

"What?"

I exclaimed, as I saw the situation the 2 has been. The {War Hammer Goblin Champion} had its right arm cut off from its right shoulder to its waist, the {Battle Axe Goblin Champion} was also wounded, 4 forks was pierced on its left thigh, and 5 forks struck its right waist. The battle-axe weapon had a dent on its middle, probably during the time Natsumi fired a strong shot at them, and this {Goblin Champion} tried to block it, both were quite exhausted.

I then took this as an opportunity and dashed myself forward. I then took my daggers out using [Quick Equip], boost its sharpness and range with [Abyssal Blade] and [Void Increment], using the speed boost of my [Swift Feet] and [Shi'en no Shuen], I was able to cut the distance between them and me in a short time.

I then jump off and targetted the injured {Battle Axe Goblin Champion}. I then bend over and swing my daggers, and cut off its left thigh

"[Shadow Slash]"

GRAAA!!

As it cried it pain, I didn't stop and continued my assault, and then targeted its right arm

"[Shadow Slash]"

KRAA!!

Thud!

As it lost its right leg and left arm, it lost its balance and fall. I then slice its body from its abdomen to its throat. It struggle a bit before it pass out, I even cut some of its finger because it was annoying, and finally cut its neck to detach its head from its body. It die as it let out its last breath. I then look towards the {War Hammer Goblin Champion}

Pant Pant

Huff Huff

As it let out a heavy breathing, it tried to catch its breath. Its body was almost at its limit, as it hold itself, trying to keep itself from falling. I then diactivate my [Shi'en no Shuen]. I then slash its neck for a quick easy death, it should be grateful I still found mercy and kindness to myself. Its body didn't fall, as its hand still holds its wounded shoulder, and firmly displaying its relentless pride as a warrior. It does earn my respect for its undying, and impregnable spirit. I then turn myself and dash forward, trying to help darling even for a bit

"Oh, being a good girl now arent you, flat-loli?"

Tsk

As I clicked my tongue, because out of nowhere the person I wanted to see the last came, and greeted me. I didn't hide neither I will, on how disgusted and irritated I am seeing her

"Well, unlike you, I still felt that they deserve recognition, even a bit. But if they dare to disturb or hurt darling, of course I show them how ruthless I am. And their won't be pity nor benevolence coming from me"

I replied

"Oh, is that so? Hmm okay, can't refute to that"

She muttered, it did made me shocked seeing how she replied uninterestedly

Sigh

'Hope she will stay like this all the time'

(Creeper's POV)

After {Bulan} merge itself into one, it went for a drastic change, much stronger, powerful. It wasn't only {Bulan} who made such changes, even his main weapon, [Os Lancea], a bone spear, made a great changes. The bottom jaw of the beak was now longer, and covered half of the beak, the bottom part of the beak carcass had 2 horns as tall as {Bulan}s wrist, while the bottom tip had bone like bandage, wrapped around the circular bottom, and the spear was now as tall as bulan

"Human, Creeper, for your crime of such, to dare to insult my presence, be death shall come, as I shall sever that head of yours. Be glad, rejoice, for you to die before my very hand"

As he confidently spoke

"Assuming aren't we? It's not good to jump to a burning wagon, you know? Well, sad to say, I can't accept your offer"

After we exchange words, I then boosted my fire magic

"Shall we?"

For a while now, I have been channeling my magic to my weapons and clothes, but this time, I transferred all of it to my gloves, to my [Flame Knuckles]. The gloves that reach till my wrist, extended to my elbow. From a trasparent red aura, it turned to a burning red hot armor. From a casual worn gloves it turned into a knight gauntlet. The sword that I was holding, outburst a blazing flame, screaming of a burning rage. The magic circle that was on the gloves back palm, circled above the gauntlet's middle. Me and {Bulan} then stared at each other, waiting patiently, then

Swissh

Swooshh

Both of us dashed towards each other, I then spin myself from the left and swing my sword

"Burn them, [Flame Breath]"

"Spear them, [Moon Slash]"

He parried my attack with his spear. It then spins its spear and swings it at me for a counter attack

"Spear them, [Moonlight Riven]"

I then altered my sword to hammer

"Smash it, [Ember Burst]"

And repelled its attack by my hammer. I then unsummoned it and change it to a spear. I then spin it above me and swing it below from above, diagonally

"Cut them, [Flare Cut]"

"[Crescent Sphere]"

My slash attack and its sphere shield collided. We then exchange clashes after clashes. I then changed my spear to a hammer and bash {Bulan}, but it was able to defend itself, but enough to create a distance between him and me. I then alter my weapon, from hammer to spear. I then spin it at my left and spin myself at my right, and stomp my left foot forward as I hold the spear in my right hand, and raised it, like I was throwing

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

"Boost me, [Flame Boost]"

"Cut them, [Flare Gale]"

A frontal fire strike, strike at {Bulan}

"Spear them, [Moon Bash]"

It then countered it with its spears pierce, but I then continued my assault. I then changed it and used my sword, my right foot was upfront while I bend over, like I was unsheathing it (note: this is from its left changed to its right). I then unleashed a strong [Fire Wave]

"Boost me, [Flame Boost]"

"Burn them, [Flame Breath]"

And did a diagonal slash, {Bulan} then counter it with a slash

"Spear them, [Moon Slash]"

Bam!

As the sound of our collision made, I then, this time, used my sickle. I then spin it to my right and swinged it below, and dashed myself forward. I then made a vertical slash from my left

"Slash them, [Blaze Slash]"

"[Crescent Sphere]"

After my attack was blocked, I then spin myself to the left and made a straight kick

"Boost me, [Flame Boost]"

As {Bulan} was able to swiftly defend my attack, I then used the momemtum to kick myself, and spin to my right as I flip up. After I landed, I then bended as high as his waist, and made another slash, we then exchange clashes after clashes. Both were persistent, both were desperate, but I was being pushed back, cuts and wounds appeared one by one as we exchange slashes. He overwhelmed me when it comes to proficiency of weilding long reach weapons, and then

Clank!

As my weapon, scythe, flew, blown away from my hand's grip, after {Bulan} did a vertically-curve slash from its left, and aimed at my scythe's middle. Right now I'm weaponless(?), {Bulan} then continued his momentum, as he connect his next attack, as not to waste any more time, he then swing its spear and aimed at my defenseless neck

"Hmm?"

As he made a questionable gaze at me, before his spear could touch my neck, I then bend myself as to dodge his spear's swing, stomp my left foot forward, channeled all of my fire magic from my shoulder to my right arm, and unleashed it to my right hand

"Boost me, [Flame Boost]"

"Burst, [Amun Rukh]" (note: God amun's chariot: amun, an egyptian god, rukh means chariot)

Guah!

As he groaned in pain and flew a distance away from me, as straight punch hit him at his abdomen, as my [Flame Knuckles] change to [Flame Gauntlet]. I then dashed myself as to not waste the chance

"Boost me, [Flame Boost]"

As he tried to get up, I then kick his face with my left knee, not giving him some time to think neither to counter

"Burst, [Magma Burst]"

Gaaa!!

I then spin myself from my left, and kick his face with my right foot

"Burst, [Magma Burst]"

And blow him away a distance away from me, I then dashed towards him after I landed. I then stretch my right arm, tranferred all my magic on it

"Boost me, [Flame Boost]"

"Boost me, [Flame Boost]"

"Boost me, [Flame Boost]"

"Burst, [Amun Rukh]"

Crack!

The sound of his thick armor then broke. As I hit him at its abdomen, he groan in pain as he vomit blood. As he was a bit high in the mid-air, I then spin myself from my right, and kick his waist with my right foot

"Boost me, [Flame Boost]"

"Burst, [Magma Burst]"

And blow him away till he reach the village fence

Bang!

As he slammed itself and went through, and flew from the village outskirt. The wounds from our clashes healed, thanks to my [Runa di Cresta]. I then walked towards the huge hole {Bulan} created. If the battle is weapon to weapon only, I would lose, that is no exaggeration, {Bulan} is much more stronger than me, and much profecient when it comes to weilding a weapon, but for bare handed battle? In your dreams. As I was getting nearer

"YOU!"

{Bulan} screamed outside the village

"YOU! YOU! YOU! YOU! YOU VERMEN!!"

"YOU MONGREL!! INSECT!! YOU DAREEEE!!"

"HOW DARE YOOUUUU!!!"

As he shout in anger and displeased, displeased as he was played like a fool. His wrath ooze, as his killing intent emit from him

"[CHARIOT]!"

Like a rogue horse in a war, he barge the village fence and run straight towards me

"[BLOOD LUST]!"

He then activated his last resort skill, his speed, power, defense, and vitality was now boost

"SPEAR THEM! [LUNAR BRIGADE]!!!"

A thousand spears accompany him, as he dashed himself at me, rushingly, hastenly. I then stretch my right arm, clench my right hand, channel my fire magic into my [Flame Gauntlet], stomp my left foot forward, bend myself, and stared at the monster before me

"Incinerate: Genesis Burst [????]" (note: still thinking for a name, it will be seen after he reach peak gold rank or mythril rank, idk)

And unleashed a sonic smoldering flame beam at {Bulan}

"DIIEEEEEE!!!"

As he let out his last words before death. Silence befall the evening sky, as my attack made a soundless strike, with only a beam of light, that lasted in a mere seconds. A huge hole was then drilled at the center of {Bulan}s chest, but as to not erase the evidence before me, I intentionally aimed a bit further from its head, and away from its arm. We still need to report this incident before it get worst

Thud!

As his dead body fall from the ground, I then let out a deep sigh of relief. Thankfully, {Bulan} was only a bit higher rank than me, as I was already at early gold rank, and his at least at mid gold rank. If he was at peak gold rank, or early platinum rank, this won't be a battle but rather a massacre. Oh yes, I lied to our beloved village chief, Allan. Right now, in the record, we are at mid silver rank, but in reality isn't, the 3 of us are already at early gold rank, it's totally imposible for mid silver rank to kill a horde of {Hobgoblin Variants} in one night, and even going toe to toe with a {Goblin Champion}, but we rather stay like this until we can be sure, be sure to be able to fight those being that was watching behind us, a shadow that we refer as [Death].

8 years ago when I was still in solo, was the first time I felt their presence when they let me. I cough blood like a spilled bottled water. If they didn't withdraw their dreadful aura, I should be dead by now, as I was almost vomit all my organs out. During that time I started being lowkey, I told Sheryl and Natsumi about it, after I parted with them, but today is different, if we can't go all out, we will be dead meat. A [Named] monster isn't something we could just walk off easily. And as I was about to turn myself, out of a sudden

RRRRIP!!

As my shirt and pants, reap, and torn to pieces, from my pants, underwear, and shirt, all of it were gone, shredded

"Oops"

As I exclaimed. I totally forgot, just like my former [Flame Glaive], my clothes just reach its limit, and now, in the middle of the night, at the village, in front of a dead body of a monster

Swisssh

I was butt naked. As the cold wind brush exposed skin, I then hurriedly run across the village to our house that we accomodate. After I wore my clothes, well mostly thanks to Sheryl and Natsumi, who came a minute or 2 after the battle of {Bulan} and me ended. By the way, you might ask, why there's no monster in the place where {Bulan} and I fought? Well that was thanks to Sheryl's [Araneae], it's her skill 2nd effect, any being that was cut from Sheryl's dagger or killed by her, while her [Araneae] is still active, will be swallowed by the shadow below them, their own shadow to be precise.

After everything is settled, we then took each {Hobgoblins} right ear, {Hobgoblin Variants} right and left ear, and their right arm, {Goblin Champions} right arm and head, and {Bulan}s head and both arms, including the weapon that we took as our victory loot, for the proof of our completion of our quest.

We then went towards the [Village Square], where the villagers were protected. The 3 of us breathe in relief, as all of them weren't hurt. After everyone is out from the shelter, the village chief Allan then bowed at us

"Thank you, thank you so much. I can't express how thankful we are to the 3 of you, thank you, on behalf of all the people in this village, I, the village chief, Allan, thank you from the bottom of my heart"

He said, as he expressed his sencere gratitude at us. I then smiled. Right now these people didn't saw neither knew about the {Goblin Champions}, and the new variant of such monster, so we're able to avoid exposing our secret. I've told the villagers about the source of the loud roar, and brought a {Giant Wild Boar}. Thankfully they aren't adventurers, though they were a bit suspicious, but they dismiss it and didn't asked further.

After we reassured that there is no more enemy hiding in the vicinity, I then told Chief Allan about the renovation of their village, from the fences and their hunters training, which is something the 3 of us won't do neither supervise. I just gave them a plan on how to increase the village defense, and their hunter's regime

After that, I then look to the children, who are still looking up even after [Bulan]s death, the boss of the monster, all of them weren't even looking down. It still feel weird and creepy. I then asked Uncle Ben and Josh family about it

"They been like that even when we could hear screams after screams outside the dome, even that loud roar"

Mrs. Natt said, worriedly,

"It's truly scary how they always look up. We even tried covering their eyes and forcibly make them sleep, but they always still look up"

Mr. Bill stated, bewildered

"For whatever reason it might be, I do hope they will come back, to who they were, as the [Village of Portch] children"

Said Uncle Ben. I really wanted to take a rest, but as I was worried about April and the other children, I asked the 2 to accompany me, and find out this mysterious thingy or whatever. I told Natsumi to activate her [Gales Embrace] to look for some clue to where they entered.

...

A few miles away from the village, inside the forest, a horrifying scene of gore and horror painted the place those monsters rested

"Disgusting freaks!"

Natsumi exclaimed

"This is…horrible, dammit!"

Sheryl said as she avert her gaze from the scene

"It can't be help, we are too late. We just need to collect each body and burn them, to at least they might found peace"

I muttered, as the scene that we saw dyed the definition of horror. Men's and women's head were hunged to each branches, like a decoration. Their bodies are already rotten, eaten by maggots and rats. 10 or more women's were tied in a tree, naked. Their legs were cut off for them not to escape. Their cunt spills both cum and blood. Their faces were distorted, as their jaw almost drop from their head. Both of their eyes and nose flow blood of tears. 5 women, a bit further from the one who were tied, was lying on the ground as their asses faces up. Each of their buttholes were stretch till it tear and connected to their cunt, and blood drops from it.

6 women were hunging on the tree just meter or two from the 5, their eyeballs were almost pop out from their eye socket, their rounded belly, if you can still call it, were opened, reap, torn, like how you open a Boars belly for dismatling, it was horrible. Their legs and arms were cut, their breast was now gone. And the men's were either used as a rag, snack, or target practice, heads missing, some of it were half as their body was blown by some weapon, some even were tied upside down to a tree, and used its butt as a sharp testing for their weapons, while their genitals were used as a target practice by the archers.

Then we saw the throne at the center, probably where {Bulan} seated, it was crafted not by woods, steel neither rocks, but by human body, and at its right, a woman laid, pregnant maybe, as we can still see its belly bump, former, with a slit on her neck. We then walked further, and saw a red glowing magic circle just a bit further from the throne. We then saw children after children being impaled, upside down naked. Their bellies were cut opened, as their organs spilled and bloods drip, some are even hollow. The 3 of us just stare at those freaks insane work.

After we gathered all the body, I then burn all of them at once, we then went inside a store room or something, and found minerals, weapons, potions and some armor, maybe from the adventurer's they have killed. We didn't yet took them as we left our bag at our house. I then asked Natsumi to destroy the magic circle, after I told Sheryl to copy the symbol for information gathering.

We then bowed at the burning corpse, its from Sheryl's homeland way of respecting. We then went back to the village and this time, the moon was now covered by some clouds, it was a heavy night, as droplets of water fall and drops, in this hour before midnight.

...

It's already morning as we woke up a bit late, just an hour or 2 after the villagers woke up to do their morning chores. At my sides, were Sheryl and Natsumi sleeping, both naked, it was quite a rowdy last night . After I stared a bit in the window, looking to such lovely morning, a sudden knock then came

"Mister, breakfast is ready"

It was April. After we broke and destroyed the unknown magic circle, all the children, one after another fell a slept, April weren't, which is kind of peculiar. She then took the "Morning Beauty Caller" at our house, which I didn't agreed. Sheryl and Natsumi said yes, after April shown a cute-sad puppy eyes at them. April is responsible for cleaning the [Guest Condo].

I then yawn and stood up, leaving the 2 behind as I open and went out the room. As I headed to the kitchen, foods of different variaty were placed in the table, from breakfast meal to dessert and drinks, April might be 8, but she's a genius cook, I just keep pating Natsumi's head to make her less, well, envious.

...

After I ate my share, I then let the 2 sleep for a bit, and walk out. I explore a bit in the village, which I couldn't do during our quest. It was such a beautiful village, as the sun kisses their roof that was still being repaired by the villager men's, was astonishing and quite a marvel. I then continue my morning walk, saw children's running around playing, some mother keep yelling at thier sons or daughters. Then out of nowhere, somebody patted my back

"What a lovely place, isn't it?"

Chief Allan spoke, I then nodded in response. It truly is a wonderful village, and I won't argue to that.

".....It's truly unbelievable that your only mid silver rank"

He then looked at me

"To kill a "{Giant Wild Boar}"

He spoke, he truly deserve the village chief title.

After we stated our completion of the quest, April of course cried, as she want me to stay a bit more, she keeps hugging me tightly, and keep telling me how she will grow up like a beautiful woman one day, which made Sheryl and Natsumi perplex

Josh blushingly thanked me, and tried to hide his red eyes and swollen eye bags. I then asked Mrs. Natt for her cookie recipe, as I need at least some souvenir. After we said goodbyes and thanks, we then went back, not to the city, but to the monsters nest, if my guess is right, a dungeon should have appeared where this monster reside, its mostly empty by now, I think.

Sometimes when a monster horde went out from a dungeon they house, the dungeon will be emptied and useless, except for their treasures they hid, but there won't be any monster encounter. Such phenomenom happens when a [Force Boss] - a forcibly snatch title, as the ruler of the said dungeon - appeared out of a sudden, outside the dungeon. The boss monster of that dungeon would die as its authority was taken, we refer that as [Dungeon Demise], and right now, {Bulan} had that said authority as the dungeon ruler.

Just a bit further away from where those monster nested, we saw a small, just 3 Sheryl tall dungeon. There's no door to be opened, neither any magic incantation for it to appear, which makes this dungeon as a small scale one. I then asked Nastumi to activate her [Gales Embrace] skill, before we entered.

After a few turns with no traps, niether monster appeared, we then arrived at the center of the dungeon, the former boss room. It was huge. After we pushed the huge door, we then saw a bundle of golds, weapons, potions, armors and etc. Its quite few when you think of a "Dungeon", but even if we do love to take them, our bag weren't enough for such transportation, and we could possibly get targetted by bandits and thiefs again and again, which is annoying, so we just stroll around and see if we could find anything valuable

"Darling! Look!"

As Natsumi shout, I then hurriedly went over to her side, and was awed to what I found

"A [Storage Ring]?"

I asked, as Natsumi holds a ring with a bluish to darkish color stone atop of it, like the morning and evening sky, its a gemstone, which had an unknown origin. But this gemstone, when crafted could store items after items. The color of the gemstone vary to how much it could store, a darkish-blue one could store as wide from the kitchen to the living room, of our house that we accomadated in the village, the pure transparent white one could hold till two 2 storey building.

One single ring of this kind could fetch for a 200 gold coins or more. The one we had had a silvery, bluish-gray color, but its enough to store all these items inside, even the one we found in the monster nest, or so we thought

"This one is useless"

Sheryl spoke, she wasn't wrong, the gemstone atop of the ring was mostly, degraded, or lost its used, but if we could find a replacement

"Sheryl, use [Object Disguise] and hide this place first, we can go back and get them after we could obtain some [Storage Gem] in the south"

As I told Sheryl my plan, she then took a scroll from her pocket, and activate it. As I couldn't find any weapon that would suit me, we then headed out. I asked Natsumi to shot an arrow to the village with a map to where the throne area was, as I placed 3 bag of gold there, and some weapon and armor, before going back to the city. It was almost at noon when we finish the [Hobgoblin Quest] that we took from the [Inquistion Draft], it was a very pleasing day for us.

<><><><><><>

[Object disguise] is like [Concealment], but on an object, things, or places, it could hide it by adopting the terrain it was placed (note: just think of it as a cameleon), and [Storage Gem] is the gemstones used for storage ring, could only be found in the south.

<><><><><><><><><><>

Caw Caw Caw

As a black bird sing a song of death in the village outskirt, just a few meters away form the village fences, it stared towards the villagers who were repairing the gate and fences, childrens leisurely playing around, and men and women chatting with each other. It then gave one last deep look to the village, before making its last cry.
