[A/N]: Another long chapter. 3,900 words this time. Also might the gap, bit of a cliff at the end. Please enjoy!
After four hours of walking, Jon and the others finally arrived at the entrance to the Localized Dungeon that Wilheim had discovered. The forest around them was pitch-black, and the sound of wind-rustled leaves would have put the five of them on edge if it was not for the presence of Despoina and Jon leading the way.

[A/N]: Big chapter today. Split a chapter in half and added them to this one and tomorrow's chapter.
Despoina returned several hours after the white salvation phoenix took flight, looking to examine the area where Wilheim had discovered the Dungeon Mana Core. As the crow flies it would have taken her two hours of continuous flying to get there, although the Salvation Of White Beginnings could not help but take some of her anger out on a...

Avahni sat several hundred metres up the river, where the waters had grown almost still, far away from the sounds of crackling embers or murmured whispers. Although Avahni just wanted a few moments alone in order to bath herself while washing her garbs, she could still feel the presence of Metzli within her shadow, and ...

A few hours after Wilheim returned from his expedition out into the forest allowed the rest of the group to digest the information that the floresiensis had given them. The five of them gathered around their campfire, several summoned companions laying scattered about, most lazing around listening to the conversations had by their summoners.
Ru Luan Di sat idly between Jon and Avahni, allowing himself to be warmed by the crackling placed in front of him.

After the… unfortunate incident regarding his attempt at creating a spiritual item, Jon refrained from practicing with [Threads Through The Loom] any further. Aside from the fact that each failed instance of his ritual of creation caused the destruction of a fragment, the spiritual energy requirements of his Fragment Of Creation was too much for the am...

It was the sixth unidentified Mana Core that the Malum Hobgoblin had integrated. Although the name appeared somewhat out of place amidst the Spear Mana Core and War Mana Core that Jon had integrated previously, the Weave Mana Core possessed a degree of attraction towards Jon that he had only felt a handful of other times beforehand.
Emanating a whiteish-indigo coloured spiritual energy, the Weave Mana Core did not produce a fine mist of spiritual energy in the same manner that his Wood ...

It looked akin to a beast from myth or spoken about in prophecies regarding the end of the world. The fact that it descended from the skies above, rather than manifesting on the ground gave Ler Setanta the impression that it was summoned from the heavens above, rather than the hells beneath.

Jon could not stop his momentum contained within his spear thrust. The Malum Hobgoblin was unmoving even in the face of approaching lance-shaped projectiles, and the blindingly fast figure of Jon speeding towards it.
