"Uooooooh!"

Sain Dungeon, Prince’s Chapel, the voice of the young adventurer Sai Ke echoed throughout the map.

The scream was filled with a multitude of emotions: surprise, joy, infatuation, reminiscence....

"This is the Sain Dungeon, I’m back again!"

He couldn’t wait to push open the wooden door of the Prince’s Chapel, and when the dazzling Golden Tree appeared in his sight, he howled with excitement like a Saiyan seeing the Full Moon.

"This is the scene, this is perfect!" He turned anxiously, eager for Jockra to see the Golden Tree, and said, "I’ve seen so many Image Stones related to Sain, this scenery is outrageously beautiful!"

The first place he invaded in Sain Dungeon was Lake Lienia, a scene where luminous stones scattered starry glows in the rising morning mist, a memory he still couldn’t forget.

"Calm down, seriously, it’s just entering the dungeon, no need to be so excited."

Jockra was full of disdain for Sai Ke’s immature behavior, though the subconscious play of her fingers twirling her hair suggested her mood wasn’t as "calm" as she appeared.

"You have no reaction at all," Sai Ke pouted, about to say something, but then he glanced back at Jockra and suddenly laughed, pointing at her, "What, aren’t your eyes filled with anticipation?"

Even Jockra hadn’t noticed her eyes were shining; the brightness couldn’t just be described as "stars in her eyes," but rather like hiding an Esti!

"Too, too nosy!" Jockra blushed, shyly waved her magic wand, and Sai Ke, sensing he’d made his point, chuckled and ran off.

Both now felt a sense of pilgrimage.

This happiness, from having a "sacred place" they long dreamed of visiting suddenly within reach, was beyond words.

Even a random flag flapping in the wild wind intrigued them for a time, as if no other flags elsewhere could flutter with such perfect elegance as in Sain Dungeon.

"What are you doing?" Jockra suddenly saw Sai Ke constantly bending to pick up small stones.

"Collecting souvenirs, it’s awesome!"

"...So weird."

Jockra helplessly shook her head.

Then, taking advantage of Sai Ke’s inattention, she reached out and pulled a patterned relief from the nearby wall, slipping it into her waist bag.

"Hoo hoo hoo~"

She nonchalantly whistled, heading towards the plaza with Queen Marika’s statue.

"Boom!" A thunderous sound, as the limb-connecting noblemen made their grand appearance as always!

Its delicate face revealed a cold smile to the adventurers, as if watching a new batch of prey approaching, intending to smash these ignorant fools one by one with the Ritual Straight Sword in its hand, then—

"Click click!" The continuous clicking of the Memory Machine, an advanced version of the Image Stone, interrupted the limb-connecting noble’s menacing grin.

"This kind of monster entrance is truly Sain-like!" Sai Ke approached the limb-connecting noble, eyes gleaming as he filmed its twisted alien body, constantly asking, "Hey, did you see that?"

"I saw it..." Jockra was at a loss for words, "and he seems angry."

"Whoosh——"

The sound of the straight sword blade slicing through the air exploded, as the limb-connecting noble lashed out in indignation, feeling as if it had been slighted by these two.

Sai Ke, protecting the Memory Machine, scrambled to dodge the strike, stuffing it back into his waist bag, "Sorry, sorry, I got too excited."

He drew the great sword, aimed at the limb-connecting noble, and said:

"Watch carefully, Jockra, I’ll prove to you that combat skills are the strongest, starting with using this guy for a blood sacrifice!"

"Where did you learn the word ’blood sacrifice,’" Jockra retorted, casting a magic power offensive amplification on herself with a competitive expression, "Sorry, but magic is the strongest, and I’ll prove it to you."

As she finished speaking, she flicked two Luminous Stone Swift Magic Gravels at the limb-connecting noble, a spell sacrificing damage for speed, hitting the target almost instantly, though the second was blocked. The small Luminous Stone Swift Magic Gravel seemed trivial before the big shield.

"You’re done for against someone with a shield, right? Watch me." Sai Ke provocatively timed his speech, quickly flashing behind the limb-connecting noble while its attention was diverted, swinging the great sword at its abundant body!

A mysterious force suddenly coursed through the sword, lifting him high into the air and spinning, a familiar stance, no doubt, this was the [Lion Slash]!

The blade heavily struck the defenseless back of the limb-connecting noble, even though its body might belong to a Mountain Monster, this slash carved a deep trench from which blood naturally sprayed.

"Nice!" Sai Ke couldn’t help but cheer, running while glancing at Jockra, "See, a combat skill just needs to hit once to severely wound a monster, can your magic do that?"

"Tsk, you’d better look behind you, fool!"

A terrifying presence appeared at Sai Ke’s back in an instant, it was the limb-connecting noble. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Though the limb-connecting noble’s injuries seemed severe, they didn’t appear too grave compared to its massive body.
