Chapter 423: A Cousin’s Legacy. [Release Version]

Edit: Fixes to typo. I also added a resolution to Maagneil's eldritch body, which I had forgotten with the first draft.

Edit 2: I've changed Hestia's song at the climax of the battle into a new, unique one to fit the moment. This is the high point of Grimnir's first character arc, so I wanted it to end well. Song is "Again" from Fullmetal Alchemist/YUI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLfMrBfqCu8

Chapter 422: Dragonslayer Hunter: Unite. [Release Version]

Honestly, this took too long to get right. Hopefully you guys enjoy it!

Edit: Tying up Neill's little character arc with Galg better. Syntax fixes. Some prose changes.

Chapter 421: The Summit In Disarray. [Release Version]

<Congratulations! Today marks the end of the first Event Quest, successfully completed by Party Tasianna through being the first to reach the final floor of [Manethala’s Nest] and the fulfilling their last task. As such, all progress inside the dungeon will be halted, with your party’s final score determined by the number of floors you have reached. Everybody still alive will be transported out of the dungeon through space-time magic; to ensure your safety, please do not move. Aside fr...

Chapter 420: Rebellion and Revolution. [Release Version]

“A miniature dragonator!” Maagneil's muffled voice exploded from the cockpit of the blackened gundam. “Weaker compared to its original demon counterpart, but still a masterwork of engineering! My son never needed you to smith for him in the first place, Grimnir! You held him back! This creation is the proof!”

Striking a victory pose, the gundam held the bloodied drill up high, relishing in its ability to pierce through the drake’s body with it. However, this impromptu celebrat...

Chapter 419: Sun Attack! [Release Version]

“Master, why do so few spells have multiple magic circles like [Ramuh] does?”

“Hmm? Oh, ahh, that is a good question, my dear apprentice.”

The first time I saw the [Lightning Magic Lv. 6] spell [Ramuh] in action was when I first met the wyverns and they were escorting Saori, Tasianna, and I outside the Belzac forest. Midway through the trip, however, grimgarians attacked us, forcing Asterios—the ex-superior of Shay and Beth—to use this spell, displaying an ear...

Chapter 418: The Greatest Gambit! [Release Version]

We don’t have time for this!

Our targets in this entire debacle weren't these dragonkin slayers or the random adventurers vying for the Event reward, it was the person behind all these disasters. The ones who probably are responcible for the gods issuing the first Event Quest inside this dungeon.

Right now, our objective wasn’t to fight, it was to chase. We had to reach Maagneil and “Broggart” before they escaped! Letting them flee into the unknown again was a no ...

Chapter 417: Deceit’s Truth Revealed. [Release Version]

“Manethala sent me a message that my valto is coming. He suspects our collusion. He’s coming over this way, right now, but we haven’t finished the damn installment yet!” Broggart exclaimed with a haggard voice, looking as exhausted as if he had stayed up the entire night, or however long our nap took, working.

“Good, then we can deal with him now,” King Fugnarus stated, swinging his axe over his shoulders.

However, Broggart’s already reddened eyes glared at the man, ...

Chapter 416: Operation: “Patricide.” [Release Version]

“Alright.”

That was quick!

Grimnir’s answer was swift, but his reasoning came out even faster. “Maagneil deserves the worst after everything he did to our hold, our hold king, our clan, and your brother, Darlion. Not to mention the bladdarg he put the people I was responsible for through. Honor-less skorr.”

“Since when do you care about Darlion?” Broggart asked, looking confused. Grimnir did mention their relationship was terrible since Maagneil’s yo...

Chapter 415: How to Fake your Death. [Release Version]

Edit: Feedback adjustment. Pushed the mention of Grimnir, Saori, and Kyouya talking with Broggi to the beginning.

___________________________

“If you wish to talk, I will be waiting outside.” The dwarf Grimnir called “Broggi” stepped outside the door almost right after he greeted us, willingly allowing us to remain inside and talk things out alone. Grimnir, though, wasn't thinking straight after his dead cuoso—cousin in dwarvish—appeared before him, an...

Chapter 414: A Speechless Reunion. [Release Version]

“Demonkin!”

Oh no …

Neill's eyes were aimed at Vifi’Yok, completely ignoring the dragonslayers in front of her.

Her hair having purple tints on them meant she was in her [Battle Frenzy] mode, and from how she was looking, it was in the moderate stage at least. The fact I could see the glimmer of light surrounding her body like a veil meant she was also receiving the buffs from my spell songs. Taking all of that into account, it made sense how that giant mana...

Chapter 413: Fierce Ambush. [Release Version]

Edit: Made Hestia more active in this fight. Previous version felt too passive, even if she was scared. Also some syntax.

Chapter 412: A Renewed Promise Between the Two. [Release Version]

<Welcome to the 11th floor, ladies and gentlemen. I hope you had your fun on the 10th floor, for that was quite a gamble considering what you had to do to overcome the challenge. Risks need to be taken to achieve your goals, for fear of failure is the doom of progression. The fear of the unknown is what prevents the world from growing! … As such, let this be a lull moment. No particular rules, but to get out of this floor and onto the next, you must find your way through a maze of portal...

Chapter 411: Rules were Meant to Be Overturned. [Release Version]

“‘Once both artifacts leave the floor through their usage, the floor will be destroyed by the dungeon master along with everything on it. A heavy penalty debuff will be applied to everybody remaining on the floor.’ That rule is the basis behind my theory that we may all be able to survive, as long as one of us has the ability to transcend floors and hand over the key after each usage,” I began as I explained my thoughts and the possibility of surviving this death trap. “However, how...

Chapter 410: Trust is a Two-Sided Road. [Release Version]

Edit: Added a single change at the very end to make the scene cooler.

__________________________________________________________

Certain sections of my scale wall were cut down, which should be rather hard to do for the knights, even if Lautrex had some hidden weapon that didn’t apply holy damage. But that was when my nose caught the smell of that bitter scent I attributed to those dragonslayers. That uncomfortable skin prickling feeling came from bone daggers the four knights w...

Chapter 409: Towards the Second Key. [Release Version]

Last reminder to read the newly written 408 if you haven't yet. It is an entirely new chapter that follows a different plot progression I made to make things flow better.

_____________________________________

“Do you think she actually knows Segawa-sensei? I mean, she could have gotten the information from brainwashing Nagata and Ishigami. Maybe that dragon is pos...

Chapter 408: What is a Hero and Knight to [The Light]? [Release Version (Essentially a New Chapter)]

Edit: It is essentially a new chapter. I've pushed the fight against the dragonslayer back and placed more focus on Hestia's status. As such, a reminder to read the edits from the 407! Enjoy!

“Princess?”

“Champion?”

The knights and students both mumbled the most important points in confusion, looking between me and each other, wondering if this was true or not. Since it was a pivotal point to persuade them, I pulled out ...

Chapter 407: The Keys for Survival. [Release Version (Massive Changes)]

Edit: If you guys read the last few edits I made for 404, 405, and 406, you might know the reason for these edits. I've changed the reasoning for why Hestia was here and also the trajectory of the next chapter's focus.

The chapter is still similar to what you guys have read before, but there are massive story changes in this one, similar to 404. The ending, especially, will be very pleasing to some if you like the changes. I would recommend re-reading this chapter since chapter 408 and ...

Chapter 406: Memories of a Bygone Past. [Release Version (Big Changes)]

Edit: Content-wise, there isn't too much changed when it comes to the words. I did make some edits considering 404 and 405, but the biggest change would be the ending which will lead into 407.

I will give my reason for the changes once 407 and 408 are changed. As such, the next Patreon chapter will be delayed due to my edits. I apologize already here, but I ask everybody to be patient. I want to make sure to ace this arc for everybody's entertainment and satisfaction.

____________...

Chapter 405: Your Name is … [Release Version]

Edit: Changes due to 404 changes. Nothing big, though. The intentions of this chapter is still the same. Hestia's mistrust with Vifi and also her meeting with her (you know.)

_______________________

“Hey, you’re running too fast!”

I could hear something.

“That’s so unfair, stop!” That same voice called out again, although it felt closer this time.

“Haha, I’m not even trying. You’re too slow.” Then another voice appear...

Side Story 49: Saori, Leader of 1357 Beastmen. [Release Version]

<[Humanize (Moderate)] inflicted on [Young Stygian-Scaled Fenrir, Saori Segawa]>

“Saori Segawa, vice-leader of Aurora, and Princess Hestia’s head retainer. A pleasure to meet you once again, Madam.” The burly man and I grasped our hands in a handshake, with both of us putting our strength into it. I was originally intending to hold back, but this man was strong enough to make me change my mind.

Staring into his scarred face where I not...

Side Story 48: The Belzac Wolves Rebellion. [Release Version]

Edit: I changed up the ogre king fight due to feedback, which I agreed with. I hope it worked out better this time and the king has a more interesting personality and design. In any case, I would love to her your feedback on it, but, first, sleeping time.

Edit 2: Correction to the second divine Quest

Chapter 404: The Dungeon Usurper. [Release Version]

Edit: Okay, this is a very big change to the latter part of the chapter, specifically, when the Dungeon Usurper is revealed. The reason why I changed it from the previous to the current one was due to modus operandi. Why did the previous dungeon usurper show themselves? It didn't make sense.

So, the plan was to change it while keeping the general plot while using an already established character whose intentions I've already built up using the last arc. It probably loses the "cool" fact...

Song for today "Lost" from Linkin Park: Rawr

________________________

The armguard was for the left arm. To test it out, I put it on, noticing how the blue-yellow armor piece was a bit too large for my arm and how it contrasted with my chestplate too much. It was a fashion disaster. No wonder its description mentioned it needed a reforging.

As I slipped my hand into the gauntlet, I closed and...
