The next day after breakfast, Anton cast his cleaning spells several times to make sure that everyone's things were clean. Nemina admitted that Anton’s cleaning spell was highly convenient since they didn’t have to worry about their laundry. Even the carriages and all of their horses were clean.

Anton was also glad that he took the time to learn the cleaning spell from spellbooks since they discovered that not only it could clean their things, but it could also clean the dirt from their bodies as long as he targeted the dirt.

The only reason why they were taking a bath was everyone wanted to take advantage of Anton’s mana water since the magical water was highly beneficial to everyone’s health. The combination of drinking and bathing kept everyone in top shape and it appeared that it was almost making everyone younger.

Anton wondered if the mana water was truly keeping everyone younger or just their appearance but he was guessing it was just the appearance.

They began their journey early enough that the caravan on the other side of the campground was still resting when they moved.

They were beginning to get so far away from Zalnothel that Anton felt comfortable enough entering his Diablo II game system to level up his druid character and continue his enchanting studies.

Anton knew that he would need to complete creating the enchanted item that would house the summoning spells of the druid since everyone in the group was beginning to become very attached to the summoned animals.

For the whole morning, Anton was inside the world of Sanctuary leveling up his druid character. By lunch, he leveled up three times reaching level forty-five, and was halfway through completing Act III of the Nightmare Difficulty.

They stopped briefly for lunch and after they ate, Anton healed everyone including all of the horses by using all of his auras. He also watered the animals using mana water and this caused all of the horses to become extremely healthy.

During the afternoon journey, Anton practiced his guitar for a bit and then re-entered the game to continue his experiments in creating an enchanted item with the summoning spells of the druid. Unfortunately, even after several hours and using the brand-new golden tablets, he was still unsuccessful but he did feel that he should be able to solve the issue soon.

When twilight arrived, Devon led them to a nice campground and after everyone set up the tents and cooked dinner, they prepared themselves to watch the next episode of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Anders decided that they would just continue with the said TV show.

This time they were alone in the campground but Anton still made sure that the surrounding area was safe by commanding all of the summons to scout around the area.

The next two days were the same. Anton would spend time cleaning their things, healing everyone, providing mana water, leveling up his druid character, and continuing his experimentation in creating the summoning enchanted item. His druid leveled up two more times reaching level 47 and he was halfway completing Act IV of the Nightmare difficulty.

Then they arrived in the next village around ten in the morning. The village was very small since It only consisted of very few houses but they still spent around three hours to purchase what they could like spices and grains and broken and worn-out weapons and armor.

At least this time, the village wasn’t under attack or anything like that. A couple of hours after lunch, Anders told everyone that they had purchased everything they could from the village so they departed without further ado.

After a few days of travel, they reached a fairly large town Numan town. Anders announced that they would rest for a couple of days but that meant that they would hold off on watching the television show.

During those days before reaching Numan town, Anton was focused on leveling up his druid character. He reached level 52 and completed Act V of the Nightmare Difficulty. Once he completed the Hell Difficulty, he would begin the grueling process of hunting for items and reaching the maximum level of his druid.

He was also excited about his recent enchanting activities since Anton got an inkling that with a few more trials and errors, he should be able to complete the enchanting process for summoning a Dire Wolf and was glad that he didn’t have to find another material since the golden tablets were enough. He did waste a total of ten golden tablets though but he knew that would happen.

They rented rooms at one of the three inns of the town and they began the process of buying the things they would need like the necessities as well as the broken and worn-out weapons and armor.

The first night and the second day were supposed to be spent resting and everyone could do whatever they wanted in the town, then they would leave early the third day.

Everyone was well-versed on what they needed to do so after a few hours, they concluded their business and they all gathered in the inn’s common room.

They heard the news regarding the Undead Coalition. Zalnothel was currently still fighting but the city was besieged by the undead on two fronts, one from the South Gate where Anton and his family and friends originally came from, and one from the North Gate where the city of Luminence who betrayed the living was located.

According to the news, five Supremes and two Legends who betrayed the living and sided with the Undead Coalition died in Zalnothel. One Supreme died and one Legend was injured severely on Zalnothel’s side. If Zalnothel’s Invincible Wizards hadn’t make any move, more wizards on Zalnothel’s side would have perished.

Unfortunately, that wasn’t the end. Invincibles on the Coalition Side started to move as well and were doing everything in their power to breach the defenses of the city. The Invincibles on Zalnothel’s side were said to be expending a huge amount of their power to defend the city but the pessimistic in the town were saying that it would only be a matter of time before Zalnothel fell.

Anton was hoping that the people who were staying in the Oak Sage Manor chose to leave the city of Zalnothel since he was also one of the pessimists. Maybe because ever since he transmigrated in this world, it felt like the Undead Coalition never stopped hounding them and had always conquered the city that they attacked.

Surprisingly, according to the news they had received, the holy city of Tiande and the merchant city of Leminthor were still standing and were still fighting with the Undead Coalition.

“I hope a miracle would occur that would allow those cities to survive,” Anders said.

Anton could see that everyone lost hope for those cities already. Anna looked extremely sad and even the twins Ramona and Belinda had tears in their eyes.

After receiving the news, Anders asked if they still wanted to spend time in Numan Town but unsurprisingly, everyone just wanted to leave. Anton could understand since he wanted to leave as well and reach a place where they could feel a modicum of safety.

Anton felt that even though Homura was far from Zalnothel, it wasn’t far enough away. He might have to convince his family that they should cross the ocean.
