Mrs Khamishah, the pair S rank sibling family (their mother, Anjin, Kucin and Miriam), and Queen Rinz, not to mention our siblings from another orphanage, they're all delighted to see us, but at the same time, they're the one that stressed out the importance of rushing to the new headquarters as soon as possible. As such, the time we spent inside the country of Kiserre is around 3 hours, even lesser I suppose. All I can remember from our very brief period of visit is just their smiling faces as well as their motivational words to keep us going, giving us all the necessary extra fuels we need to solve the crisis.
Plus, what makes us transverse through the dungeon that connects Kiserre and The Cursed Land, the forest dungeon, so quickly is none other than
(I'll see all of you during the rite with the Avery. As such, prepare yourself after getting the blessing from Garuda) [Fairy Queen, Titania]
(Wait!!) [Farhah]
The Fairy Queen, Titania. That was the first time I saw a large fairy. Calypso and the other fairies that I usually saw was no larger than an adult palm, but Titania, she's as large as your typical adult woman. If it wasn't for the characteristics wings as well as her overwhelming mirage mana, I would have totally mistaken her for a beautiful human adult. Plus
(She's powerful. I may not see other holy beasts yet, but she's without a doubt, just behind Holy Beast of Water, Ice Dragon Reshir) [Charlotte]
Anyway, as soon as we enter the second level of forest dungeon, Titania greeted us, exchange the line above, and poof, a thick mirage miasma, most probably from Titania own mana, surround our Camper van golem, and before we know it, we are all at the cursed land site of the forest dungeon entrance. It feels like we are travelling straight, but the camper van golem detected multiple instances of us turning left and right, even plunging down at some point. Maybe we are using the ancient tunnel created by the Traveler King, which got me thinking
(Mahsuri did mentioned we will know how to access the ancient tunnel sooner or later, so does that mean, the fairy queen will aid us on that one?) [Charlotte]
Maybe yes, maybe not. The Holy Beast of Earth, Shielding Ant Aries does not mentioned anything regarding it, so maybe fairy queen Titania and mother earth will be the one that aid us regarding that matter
Anyway, when we enter the cursed land, I can immediately sense high density of mirage, light and dark mana surrounding the land, the air and even the nearby ponds. Other four elements including neutral are there, but compared to the insane amount of the three elements, one would said that this land is filled with those three elements of mana. All of them (except for Karon, Farhah and I) can feel that their elemental affinities resonate with the surrounding mana, and as such

"!" [Zerolith]
"You can feel it?" [Elise]
"Yeah. I can" [Rean]
""Lara and Nara..."" [Kara, Mara]
"Really!" [Karon]
"Yeah, but they're in trouble" [Savel]
"They're fighting against group of devils" [Alaric]
The three of us try to concentrate hard, and true enough
"We have to save them!" [Rumia]
"The light magic, and by extension, my space magic might be able to reach them, but..." [Singa]
"It's far away. I once do long range teleportation, but even then, Seraph with his Holy Beast of Light blessing and his holy mana helps me a lot" [Linda]
"We might miss the mark, but we have to try!" [Singa]
"Right! Listen, I'll do this, so Rean, Elise, help me" [Zerolith]
Zerolith reach out to his long range gun. He said that with Karon and other engineers help, it's used to snipe faraway enemy with high degree of accuracy, but come at a cost of firing capacity. The puppet magic inside the gun will aid in aiming to further boost the accuracy. He got two of the guns, for which one of it
"I'll use it as well!" [Charlotte]
"And I'll aid Charlotte! I have the Holy Beast of Water blessing as well!" [Savel]
"Please do so" [Charlotte]
"Then I'll place my teleportation spell along with it" [Singa]
"That means I will place mine on Zerolith" [Linda]
"If that's the case, Mara and I will use tailwind magic. Increasing the speed of the bullet spell should help" [Kara]
"Great idea" [Mara]
And thus, Karon start controlling the camper van golem (so that the golem wouldn't hit any bump, that can cause our aim miss the mark). Farhah uses her wood magic, as she gave us a steady footing above the camper van golem, further supported by Behe who uses his gravitational skill as soon to be Empress Behemoth, and thus we start aiming for the devil. Saintess Rumia boost our power and accuracy with her buff spell. Alaric further guide us, helping us pinpoint the exact location of Lara, Nara and the devil
"Begin charging up!" [Zerolith]
"Same!" [Charlotte]
"""Here! Take our mana!!!""" [Rean, Elise, Savel]
Savel's water mana started to flow inside of me, as I charge up a water spear spell into the bullet. Singa and Linda, both have their long range teleportation spell ready, and they injected the spell into our water/dark spear bullet spell. As we begin charging up more and more power into the gun, Alaric shout
"Now!" [Alaric]
""Roger!!"" [Zerolith, Charlotte]
~Loud Bang~
Good thing Karon and Zerolith warned us all beforehand regarding the loud sound produces by these two guns. Along with Saintess Rumia spell to protect our eardrum and sense of hearing, we also coated our head with protective mana. Don't want to lose my hearing sense, not now nor during my old age
"It hit the mark!" [Alaric]
"Now!" [Rean]
""On it!!"" [Singa, Linda]
Both of them, having their weapons ready, teleport out into the distance. I could tell that Zerolith's plan succeeded as the powerful devil mana suddenly vanish. Maybe the devil retreated to safety, though I don't mind if Linda and Singa manage to defeat it
As we get closer to where the four of them are, I can see bodies of devil canines scattering around. The surrounding area are also wet, most likely due to abundance of water magic being use. Just as I step out from the camper van golem, they finish off the last hell hounds.
"LARA! NARA!" [All]
""All of you!"" [Lara, Nara]
All of us run toward Lara and Nara
(I'm glad, I'm glad they're safe) [Alaric]
(If only Ash is here with them, but still, this does put a smile on my face) [Linda]
(Thank you goddess, for protecting them) [Rumia]
