Asher was speechless when he saw the fact what Persea said was true, Persea's crystal energy was inside Titanoboa's mouth and emitted light the same color as Persea's hair. The glow was getting brighter and brighter as the game screen turned white instantly.
'You have completed the mission: Persea's power.'
'You have earned 1500 Exp.
'You have earned 500 gold coins, 2x fairy shoes, 3x bombs.'
A few minutes later, the screen returned to normal. Everything seemed just as it was before, except Persea's appearance was noticeably different. Her long hair was flowing in waves, which made her look much fresher, and her blue eyes radiated a different kind of fiery spirit. However, there was something that made her most different from before- her wings. Her wings looked much more beautiful with delicate carvings patterned to emit sky-blue radiance adding to the impression of the beauty of her wings, making her the most distinctive from other fairies.
"Such beautiful wings, Persea. I had no idea you had such beautiful wings."
"Yes, I agree with Asher's words. The beauty of your wings had me hypnotized."
"Uh, thank you, Asher, Chronos. I'm glad I, I can able to return to like this. Thank you." Persea smiled happily.
However, a few minutes later, vibrations were felt in the cave and one by one the stalactites in the cave began to fall. Dammit, it looked like the cave was about to collapse and Asher and the others quickly left the cave before they could be buried forever.
"Argh, fucking rocks!" Chronos swung his sword, trying to smash the boulder that blocked their way out. "My attack won't be able to destroy this damn rock in time. Fuck!"
"I don't see any other way out of here either." Asher shifted his gaze, seeing the ceiling of the cave begin to fall. "Damn, how is there another way to get out of this cave."
"You two, gather near me. I'll use my magic spell to get us all out of this place."
"Huh? You're not joking right?"
Persea took a deep breath. "Just trust me and listen to what I say."
The two of them followed Persea's directions and Persea began to spin rapidly around them until they saw a blue circle around them. A strange energy emerged from the circle and slowly wrapped around them like a cocoon.
"Uhmm, Persea can you go faster?" Chronos' eyes saw the stalactite about to fall on top of them "Oh, shit, shit we won't make it. We're going to die! We'll-"
"Tilemetaforás!"

Within seconds, Asher and the others teleported out of Titanoboa's cave before the stalactite fell on them and reached the Altaria forest unharmed.
"Oh, shit. What's going on, what's...." Chronos vomited non-stop. "Fuck, fuck I've never felt anything like this before," he said in a weak voice.
"Me, me too." Asher sat limply on the floor, his face pale. "This feels worse than riding a roller coaster." Asher began to feel nauseous. "Gosh, I think this is...this is a bad idea."
"Uh, you'll get used to it eventually." Persea patted Asher's shoulder. "Hey look, there's thick smoke coming from the same direction as the Altaria village." Her face tightened. "Oh, no there's probably something going on there. Come on, we have to take a look."
As they arrived at the village of Altaria, the heat from the flames immediately greeted them. The tension on their faces as they saw the village of Altaria that they once knew was now gone and covered in flames.
"Oh no, no. This can't be." Persea's lips continued to tremble, her tears slowly flowing down her face." What...what exactly happened? Why is the village of Altaria becoming like this."
" Shit! This must be the work of the darkness. They managed to level the village of Altaria. Goddamn Darkness!"
"Persea, try using your skills to put out this fire first, maybe we can find something here," Asher suggested.
"Uh okay, okay." Persea wiped away the tears on her cheeks and started chanting her magic spell. "I'll give it a try."
Persea immediately shot out a powerful burst of water until in an instant all the fires in Altaria's village were extinguished, leaving only the blackened ruins of fragile buildings.
"Hey Ash, have you found anything? "Chronos squinted his eyes, taking in the surroundings. "Argh, shit. This smoke smell is making me sick. "
Asher held up some wooden beams in front of him. "No. I didn't find anything here at all."
"Damn! The darkness must have killed all the fairies in Altaria village." Chronos kicked in annoyance. " Fuck! Fuck! Fucking Darkness."
Persea shook her head. "Uh, but, but I don't think so. I didn't see any traces of Altaria's blood or fairy corpses at all. I don't know, I feel- Uh, wait, wait like I see something over there." Persea pointed her index finger forward. "Over there. I caught a glimpse of a pile of wood moving. Come on, we should go check it out."
They followed Persea's directions and it turned out what Persea said was true. There was something in that wooden log. Asher and Chronos quickly moved all the wooden logs one by one until they slowly saw a fairy lying weakly on the ground.
"Oh my, this, this is the fairy elder!" Persea rounded her eyes. "Quick, we, we have to help her."
They quickly brought the fairy elder out of the woodpile and then placed the fairy elder in a safe place. Asher immediately cast her healing magic spell, repeatedly until the fairy elder finally came to her senses.
"Huh? Where...where am I?" The fairy elder's brows furrowed, a puzzled look on her face.
Persea immediately hugged the fairy elder tightly. "Fairy elder, what exactly happened? Why is Altaria village like this?"
"Orc...orc king. This is all his doing because of him. They have kidnapped the villagers of Altaria and will target other villages. We, we must...."
The fairy elder's body suddenly slowly turned blue for no reason and she instantly lost consciousness. Asher's face immediately stiffened and he had no idea what was happening with the fairy elder. He continued to chant his healing spells, but to no avail, the fairy elder's body this time did not react to Asher's spells.
"Oh shit, shit. What the hell is going on?" Chronos furrowed his brow, his face paled. "Damn it, has the fairy elder died?"
" Luckily, not yet Chronos, but his pulse is very weak. We must help her immediately."
"Oh, no, no. This is impossible." Persea shook her head. "It seems that the fairy elder was hit by a curse from the orc king's sword and can only be treated by a special potion from the fairy Malana. Quickly, we, we must bring her to Malana's village before it's too late."
