Chapter 806 - Moving Fast

Before leaving the Cinderspire Citadel, Hera and her team stopped by the command center. Vazor was having lunch, but when he heard they were leaving, he went to meet them. Together with Sapphira, he called the other commander and her second in command, the ones who were in the Hearthome at the feet of the volcano, and they thanked Hera and her team. They also gave them an extra 400 thousand gold from their own pockets. 100 thousand from each. In reality, they wanted to give them something mor...

Chapter 805 - Organizing the Court

Hera thought about going to her private room, the workshop version, to give this hammer a Royal Seal, but that would require one crossing, and they still weren't sure where they would end up staying. Instead, she just carried it in her hand despite the weight. The hammer would easily be 50kg. Even with all her strength, wielding it would be hard work. Still, she wanted to ask Flint if he had any material to help her give it the seal. Maybe the Empress could add this weapon to her court when t...

Chapter 804 - Passkey

Hera wasn't the last one to wake up, but she wasn't the first, either. When she saw Milla's message, her first instinct was to wake everyone up so they could move, but she realized this wouldn't be a good idea. Not right now, at least. After the rampage, they were very tired, and if they didn't get the chance to sleep properly, they might not be in a good enough state to even help those who were kidnapped. However, the Empress did send a message asking why Milla said it so straight...

Chapter 803 - No time to rest

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rampage Quest Complete
Region - Hearthome
Hidden quest complete - the Empty Caldera

The Forge Lord, who lives inside the caldera at the bottom of the spire, was killed after he left the volcano itself, and the new Forge Lord never managed to reach the magma. Instead, the wendigo controlling the army was killed and fell into the hot lava before it was able to withstand it.
Now, the caldera lays empty and will remain so for the next 6 months.
The contr...

Chapter 802 - Don't let them fight

##### Author's Note #####

Hey everyone! Sorry for the small delay today. I got distracted playing a game and lost track of time. 

#####################

With Hera's warning, everyone started to gather closer to the tent. They were still giving a wide berth from it, not wanting to be hit by the rain that seemed to hurt anyone except for the caster. Or, in this case, the snake woman who was flying on her griffon. Still, it didn't take long for everyone to also see the...

Chapter 801 - Flight of the bumblebee

Just as Hera and Vash were starting to fly into the formation, both riding Nimbus for now, one of the mission's commanders approached.

"Hey, you two. Do you think you can take a wide area by yourself? The back of the spire is mostly open, and even if there are going to be fewer monsters there, we need people who can take care of it all."

Hera turned to Vash, "I think we can do that. Maybe being away from the front line will be better."

The harpy nodded, "Yeah. If there are f...

Chapter 800 - Protect the Forge

 ##### Author's Note #####

Ok... so this is chapter 800, and I don't know what to say about it. It doesn't feel real, you know.
But thank you all for the support through the ups and downs and everything. You are all amazing!

Vash and Hera were on the elevator, waiting for it to arrive on the bottom floor. The entire elevator only had 15 people, and it did not continue with them. Mostly harpies who felt like they could help...

Chapter 799 - The last day of a rampage

##### Author's Note #####

Hey everyone. This one is own me. Because of the last few days, I messes up my entire schedule and when I actually started to write this chapter yesterday, I was too tired to stay up. Then I hibernated (seriously, I went to bed at 6 AM and woke up at 6 PM ) for someone who is used to sleeping only 5 hours a night that is A LOT.

I'm sorry about this, and I hope this will be last time that we will have these delays.

Chapter 798 - Organized Attack

##### Author's Note #####

Hey everyone! Remember when yesterday I told you that we had a storm and I went out of power? Gosh, that seems like so long ago. We were just kids, thinking the world would be a bright and beautiful place.... how wrong were we.
Ok, joking(or not) aside, the same thing happened. From what I understand, the storm yesterday almost messed up a tree, and another heavy rain today finished the job. The tree fell into the power lines and we didn't have power th...

Chapter 797 - This is a rampage, right?

 ##### Author's Note #####

Hey everyone! Sorry for the late chapter today. It's been raining a lot these days here, and this is causing some problems in the power grid. I ended up unable to finish this in time. Tomorrow's chapter should be posted at the right time. Or that's the plan, at least.

Livy rushed to the side, dodging a few of the Cinder Hound attacks. Her target was the row of Forge Magmas, metallic constructs that had l...

Chapter 796 - Cracks already appearing

Hera walked back to the command center with Flint and Vash in tow. It was late already, and their shift would start in a bit under half an hour. However, her snakes were still moving around the room, preparing the Pool of Styx. To be activated. Ideally, she would be there to trigger the spell when it was ready, but she was worried this wouldn't happen. That's why she set up a secondary nexus in the area they were protecting, sector 3B floor 87. That way, the spell could be activated either in...

Chapter 795 - A spell to change the tide

After talking with the guide, Hera actually used the bathroom before leaving. She was already here after all, and aside from relieving herself, she could brush her teeth and be ready for the day. Even if there was a rampage going on, it would still take several hours before her shift started. 

When she was done, the Empress walked out of the bathroom only to see Skyler sitting on her bed, staring at the door blocked by the floating weapons. The elf pointed to herself and then to th...

Chapter 794 - Guide Metallurgy

With everything ready and Daskka using some mist to hide the shape of the toilet and the garbage can, Hera spoke, "I call upon the Guide of the Cinderspire Citadel. As an explorer, I have proven that my motives are pure."

There was a clanging sound as if something metallic was being tossed inside copper pipes. That noise echoed everywhere around the bathroom. Eventually, focusing on the ceiling. Hera paid attention and started to hear a small voice along with all those clangs, clunks, a...

Chapter 793 - Warm and Cozy

Hera slept through the whole night. Or whatever time it was. During a rampage, almost everyone messed up their sleep schedule.  When she finally woke up, she didn't say anything. Slowly opening her eyes, the Empress reached for her tablet. It's been almost 10 hours since her shift ended. She slept a lot, especially when considering her skills. Ever since she arrived in the MAZE, Hera realized that her endurance attribute would slowly reduce the amount of sleep she needed. It w...

Chapter 792 - End of first shift

"Shit, Skyler! Help me out here!" Roan yelled he was struggling to keep a Molten Elemental in check. It was a large liquid being with no set shape or color. The monster came alone, but it was powerful. It could meld not just the ground but also items and even monster bodies. With each thing it could melt, it could increase its power. Elementals were much closer to magic, which also meant that they were more vulnerable to Skyler's interruption spells.

"I'm busy!" the elf replied while sh...

Chapter 791 - Figthing in the tunnels

It's been around one hour since their shift started, and the monster assault was relentless. The team barely had more than a couple of minutes rest between each wave of enemies. To avoid wasting energy, they were taking turns dealing with the incoming beasts. Thanks to Hera's court, they could split into two groups of five people. In one of them, the Empress would fight with the rest of the team, and in the other, the titled blades would accompany Vash. The split was like that because they we...

What happened these last few months?

Hey everyone! A while back, I said that I would give a full explanation about everything that has been happening lately. And here it is. If you are on Discord, you don't have to read this again. I'll send this message on both platforms. 

There is a TLDR at the end if you don't want to read a lengthy life story.

Things have been weird for a time. It all started when I got sick, I want to say 3-4 months ago. I've been seeing a therapist for almost 2 years. It started to help me...

Chapter 790 - Sector 3B Floor 87

"For the last time, we are not calling ourselves the Bandage Brigade!" Skyler protested.

"But why not!?" Vash gasped, "We either kill things easily and without any problems, or someone gets seriously beat up."

"When did that happen?" Roan turned to the harpy.

"Well. There is Nimbus. I don't have to explain that. Hera almost died when we fought the wendigo. There was also the whole thing when we first fought the moose and all the times someone got hit in a bad way during the ...

Chapter 789 - Volcanic Rampage

##### Author's Note #####

Did you think I wasn't going to make it? Well... me too lol. But here is the missing chapter that I've been trying to get to you for the last few months. I'll make a post on saturday/sunday to explain everything that went down. And there will be a chapter tomorrow. Don't worry.
We are starting the new year back on schedule! And ready for new things.

Chapter 788 - All eyes on me

When they arrived in their temporary hotel room, Hera almost instantly collapsed on the bed and slept, as did Neria. Both of them were much more tired than anyone else on the team. Unlike the others, they didn't have a full night of sleep, not to mention all the effort it took to deal with Nimbus' temporary death. Even if only the Empress felt it happening, the triton was still there for her and stayed up while Hera mulled things over.

For that same reason, and a small bonus from her [O...

Chapter 787 - Cinderspire Citadel

After talking to the guide, Hera got ready, and the entire party went back to the Alliance Center just to confirm they had completed their mission. Thankfully, everything worked well; the horn was larger than they needed, and with their time frame, everyone could take the antidote. Milla also had prepared a route for them to take to the room where the rampage was going to happen. It was a place called Cinderspire Citadel, and according to the information they got, things would be very weird d...

Chapter 786 - Loren

####### Author's Note #######
Happy Yuletide everyone!
########################

After dropping off the horn at the Alliance center, they called the healers and chemists to confirm if this would work. Hera's team asked the clerk to just let them know if it worked or not. They were going to their hotel room to get ready to leave. Before heading out, the group took a chance to take a quick shower. They might not have enough time to do that during the rampage. Not a real shower, and ...

Chapter 785 - A simple revenge

Hera's first thought was to get the mana stone herself. But Neria wanted to help. In fact, she suggested that the entire party chip in. If they had a very large mana stone, even if it could not recharge on its own. A mana stone could allow the triton to use more powerful heals. For a moment, they would be safe. That way, she could do some emergency procedures without tapping into the mana she had compressed for a more pressing emergency. Another argument was made about the other uses the mana...

Chapter 784 - Sentinel's Fall

Hera woke up with a splitting headache. But she only had a chance to open her eyes before the feeling changed. She could feel pressure in her head as if something incredibly heavy was pressing against her. Slowly, the pressure increased, at first just like an annoying weight, but soon, she felt her eyes being pushed deeper inside her head and her skull starting to crack under the weight. The Ophidianite tried to scream, but no sound came out of her mouth. The only thing she could do was to ke...

Chapter 783 - The Monarch's full power

It's been 12 days since they started this mission, and tension was rising. After hearing Hera's full explanation about the prison, Neria, Roan, and Skyler immediately agreed to help. They were disgusted by what the humans were doing and couldn't let this stand. Vash was a bit more conflicted. Not because he agreed with the humans but because he wasn't sure if his presence would help. Flint was still unsure if he would help. His reason was almost the same as Vash's but a bit more nuanced. He u...

Chapter 782 - Court's first outing

"Fuck, not the right thing again," Flint groaned.

"What did we get this time?" Hera appeared behind the tree she used to evade the Monarch's gaze. One thing they realized was that when the monster would use the Chromatic  Moose skill, it would lock into one of the group members and chase after them. But, if that person was able to hide from it, the dungeon boss stopped running to try to find them. This was just a plan B  for them since making it stop moving was still the best ...

Chapter 781 - Try and try again

In the following days, the group kept running the same dungeon repeatedly. Ignoring all the generals and going straight for the boss. At first, they would get some minor injuries and had to be healed by Neria, but after their 20th run, that stopped happening. When they reached their 50th attempt, fighting against the Monarch of the Glen became something mechanical, almost like a well-rehearsed choreography. Everyone knew the moves they had to make, the reactions the stag would have, and the f...

Chapter 780 - First round of rewards

While looking over the rewards, no one got the horn they wanted. It was a shame, but that was to be expected. After all, if it was an easy item to get, the alliance wouldn't have sent them here. Still, they got some loot that was interesting. Hera got a set of inks that could swap the color of something permanently. There were some minor restrictions, and it couldn't be used with living creatures. But it would be a way to swap the pallet of an object if they needed it. Not very helpful for th...

Chapter 779 - Monarch of the Glen

Nimbus and Vash flew through the air, with Hera making the conga line with her blades to avoid having the Sentinel reach Hera's range limit. The harpy cast a few spells to initiate the attack while the Sentinel stood close to him. Wind feathers darted at the Brush Owl, which was able to dodge the initial flurry, but a few of the projectiles still hit its body. 

The monster flew up and dove towards Nimbus. But instead of blocking, the Sentinel grabbed Vash and flew up, following the...

Chapter 778 - Monarch Generals

Their next target was the general called 'Chromatic Moose.' It was a bit far from their current location, and unfortunately, they were likely to find more monsters on the way. According to their information, the Spotted Squirrel was the only one that scared the other creatures of the dungeon away. Not that this was much of a problem. The team moved steadily, either ignoring the monsters that showed up or quickly dispatching them. Hera didn't say anything at first, but Vash and Roan eventually...
