Going back to the Plainlan Forest.In the middle of the jungle, an otherworldly n.o.blewoman was standing in there with her spellbinding scarlet eyes flickering inside this gloomy forest. Even though the attire she was wearing was simple, yet it was destructive enough to enthrall whoever saw her figure.
"Haaah, why do I have to babysit an immature brat like you." The n.o.blewoman said. "In the first place, if you just left this place with your companion, it wouldn"t be this burdensome." She said in annoyance while glancing at the man who was lying cold on the ground.
"Nonetheless, I don"t get how you can suddenly muster an abundant mana pool when yours was supposedly debilitated." The n.o.blewoman said in wonder.
"I honestly couldn"t believe you"re the one that the old man chose as his successor." She mutters. "I guess he was right, being a receptionist for years dulled my senses."
Yes, the woman was no other than Rosaleen, who Kyros left behind to take care of his precious discipline.
While she was observing Kiro, who was on the ground, she suddenly heard a rustling noise.
"Come out," Rosaleen said, shifting her gaze southeast 5 o"clock behind her back.
Then a human figure came out of the woods. "Ms. Rosie?" the person called out.
"Yes, Alina, it"s me," Rosaleen responded with her gently whilst observing her condition.
Staring at her sorry figure, Rosaleen saw her eyes were swollen along with her disheveled hair that tangled with scanty branches of the tree. Her figure was filled with minor cuts with her light combat attire fitted for a thief cla.s.s she couldn"t avoid suffering numerous bruises around her body.
When she saw her pitiful figure, Rosaleen"s eyes softened. "Come here, Alina."
Alina, who was momentarily shocked from the sudden development, stared at her in confusion. Suddenly she remembered why she came here. "—Kiro... Where is Kiro? Is he safe?" Alina asked nervously while searching for his figure.
Still, upon seeing his figure who was lying on the ground, she could not help to shriek in fright. "Kiro!"
Seeing her reaction, Rosaleen giggled slightly. Instead of worrying about her wellbeing, Alina was more worried about him. "He is fine, you don"t have to worry." She said, throwing a quick glance at Kiro. "Even though he doesn"t appear to be fine, Kiro is in much better shape than you."
"... Re—really?" Alina replied while she scanned Kiro"s exhausted physique.
"He is fine. On the other hand, it is you who needed treatment," Rosaleen affirmed as she summoned an amber-colored gla.s.s potion.
"Stay still so I can start treating your wounds." Rosaleen proclaimed whilst opening the healing potion.
Suddenly, a gentle aura engulfed Alina"s figure. While golden luminescent light flickered inside the forest. What Rosaleen used was a high-grade potion, even though Alina"s outer appearance seemed to be fine. Her internal organs were in the mess without immediate treatment; it may affect her future growth.
While Alina was savoring the feeling of the high-grade potion, a magic circle abruptly appeared on her foot. "[Spring.]" Rosaleen murmured while a soothing aqua flow washed away the dirt from Alina"s body.
But she wasn"t done yet as another magic circle appeared. However, this time it was above Alina"s head.
"[Breeze.]" Rosaleen commanded the atmosphere. There wasn"t a single mana fluctuation when she activated her skill, as if it blended to nature.
A gentle wind blew by, drying Alina"s damped figure.
"... Ms. Rosie, I never knew you"re a magician!" She said with both of her eyes flashed in astonishment.
Staring at her silly expression, Rosaleen giggled lightly. "Yup, I am, but you have to promise me to keep it a secret all right?" She answered with a sweet smile.
Seeing her enchanting smile, Alina was captivated by her charm momentarily. "... Beautiful." She could not help to mutter those words. Nevertheless, upon discerning her blunder Alina"s cheeks turned red in shame.
"Oh I almost forgot, can Ms. Rosie heal Kiro too?" She said while trying not to stare at her face directly.
"He doesn"t have any severe wounds nor any internal wounds. He only pa.s.sed out because of mana exhaustion." Rosaleen said while staring at Alina gently. "But if you"re really worried about him, I"ll let you medicate him."
"Mm." Alina could only hum in agreement to hide her embarra.s.sment.

Meanwhile, in the deepest part of the jungle.
The sky above the northeast side of the plainlan forest was illuminated with a purplish light.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning broke the utter darkness of the forest. Cleaving its way to the firmament as if it wanted to severe heaven. Whereas descended a thunderous clap roared furiously inside the forest.
*?????!*
An immense explosion shattered the goblin settlement. While at the center of the collision was a 3 and a half meter tall Goblin with a domineering aura around him.
However, this prideful creature at the moment was bathed with his own blood. "... Why? Why such a distinguished Adventurer like you was inside my forest!" The Goblin King asked in regret.
"It"s just happened that you guys picked a wrong opponent, you have chosen to hunt my one and only disciple," Kyros said with a strong and imposing voice.
Upon hearing his reasoning. The Goblin King"s eyes flashed with hatred.
"Merely because that reason my years of hard work and devotion to develop this settlement were ruined?" He said. "Hehehe... I cannot accept this!" With that said, the Goblin King aura suddenly changed, his body expanded four-meter tall while the scarlet of life sparkled throughout his body.
Seeing the Goblin King turned into a deranged state, Kyros frowned whereas his both eyes are sharped.
"You seemed to be determined to drag this old man with you. Unfortunately, I"ll have to disappoint you." Kyros muttered, touching the crystal gem imbued in his ring. Kyros summoned hundreds of arrows inside his spatial tool.
"I haven"t mastered this art yet. Nevertheless, it"s your honor dying with such a remarkable Art of Archery." Whilst saying those words, Kyros channeled his abundant mana to the 100 arrows he summoned.
If Kiro was here, he would be astounded knowing whose art his Master is currently using.
Kyros sent his mana to the arrow shafts slowly, a figure eventually formed using his mana manipulation.
A glaring reddish-blue stream of light formed into a 30 meters long ground dragon.
"... One hundred arrows returning in one." But Kyros wasn"t done yet. He even imbued the art with his thunder attribute, making the ground dragon more alive.
*??????!*
The reddish-blue long dragon roared furiously while it circled around at the gloomy sky.
Staring at the impending danger, the Goblin King didn"t shrink back. With both of its eyes flashed with madness. The Goblin King activated his skill using his own life as a fuel.
"*????!* Human... Innate skill [Aurora Slash!]"
With his great sword at hand, the Goblin king activated his strongest offensive Innate ability.
A powerful suction force was formed at the palm of the Goblin King while glaring scarlet light illuminated from where he stood.
Considering the Goblin King was using his own life to boost his skill, his body figure dried like a dead flower.
Subsequently, when the Goblin King acc.u.mulated enough internal energy, he swung his greatsword horizontally.
As the wind howled furiously with gigantic blood of light slashed the twilight whereas it engulfed the clouded sky with blazing crimson light.
Watching the enormous glittering cardinal light come to him. Kyros released the thunderous ground dragon as it beamed like a bolt of lightning shimmering brightly as it confronted the tumultuous blow of the Goblin King.
*??????!*
With two skills collided, a tremendous eruption turned the half-destroyed Goblin settlement into a wasteland.
