Chapter 15: Completing the Quest

----- Lutz -----

After a day of grinding in The Twisted Spire, Kalyn and her companions' levels went from the low 20s to the low 30s. That's the result when the monsters are high level enemies in a deadly dungeon, especially when some of them are bosses who give massive amounts of experience points per kill.

Kymil was already level 31, so he didn't gain nearly as many levels as the others, but he did end up on level 35 by the end. I'd say that's time well spent, considering how difficult it is to level in this world.

I plan to return again when I have time in order to continue the grind, but I've got a few things I need to do, so I can't spend too long in the far east. Though I definitely intend to make a stop by the Ancestral Glade to meet up with that annoying Astral Dryad.

After saving the elves' forest from the mana draining poison, I completed her quest and earned the reward she promised back when I first met her. More specifically, I get to ask her any question I want and receive an answer. Though I plan to ask her two, since I went the extra mile by defeating the demons and preventing the army of Chaos from teleporting here and wreaking havoc.

I already have both questions in mind. I just hope she's willing to answer them directly, instead of beating around the bush like she's so fond of doing.

Just like I explained to the others, the Astral Dryad obliterated my teleportation circles I had scattered around the elven lands. Guess she wasn’t too fond of having them lying around when their caster was on the other side of the continent.

Considering her mana permeates the entirety of the elves' territories, it was probably an easy matter for her to wipe them out. It's frustrating, but I have to admit that her power and influence dwarf mine in every conceivable way.

Thanks to her actions, I'm forced to make the trek to the Ancestral Glade on foot. Of course, I'm covering as much ground as possible with the teleport spell, but without a circle, my effective range is far more limited, even as the mana cost nearly doubles. The spell is way less efficient when used like that, but I simply don't have a choice.

Still, the trip won't take nearly as long as it did the first time I came through here. I'm actually leaping around high above the ground, away from the prying eyes of the elves below and only touching dirt when [Air Step] is nearing its time limit.

With my newly acquired levels, I can maintain the spell for nearly half an hour. Combined with my heightened speed, the trip from the hotspring resort to the Ancestral Glade can be made in 5 or 6 hours, rather than the 5 or 6 days it took us last time. Though we were slowing our pace back then so Kymil and the other elves could keep up with us.
