The Charges and attacks made by the Centipedes had gone faster and stronger than the usual before, as the time slowly running out into its end.

Levi on the other hand, knowing the fact that he couldn't land any sorts of attacks nor damages towards the thick, unyielding scales of the Centipedes.

He made putting his mind on evading all of the attacks given against him as the result.

Not only that, but he made also putting his mind on practicing his newly acquired Awakening Senses by challenging himself on approaching the incoming attacks and charging made against the enemies.

"It's almost 6 hours by far, yet these monsters... don't seem tired nor wary about it." Levi went perplexed, thinking for the enemies to stop already.

As he takes a quick look at his System Notification.

"It's almost time, Guess I have to play a little bit more on these." He seemed glad and wary for the situation he went in, simply didn't waste his time on practicing the Awakening senses against the magic creatures.

The Unknown being on the other hand, simply getting bored already. Since the time Levi Furiman unconsciously unlocked the Awakening senses on his Left eye.

Had nothing to see anymore, rather than playing cards all by himself on the sidelines. Isolating and didn't bother anything that happened throughout his surroundings.

"Don't screw with me, Dammit! You're the one summoning on me to watch me suffer... And yet, you haven't shown any sorts of enthusiasm any longer? How could you!" Levi suddenly noticed it, felt annoyed and exasperated towards him.

"Hmm?" The Unknown Being simply replied sarcastically.

"Don't 'Hmm' with me, Dammit... I'll kill you later!" Levi also responded with annoyance.

"Like you would? ... Pfftt.. hahahahahaha! The Unknown Being went pleased having a short conversation towards him.

As the two having short chatters whilst doing their own business at the same time, Levi Furiman and the Unknown Being simply went unaware of the surroundings and situations they had in already.

Knowing the fact that the cards the Unknown Being showed had turned into a 'pyramid castle', while Levi on the other had gone finishing up the Penalty quest he furiously accepted. It was all done and completed in a very short period.

"Oh, the time already finished... As well as the Centipedes had also stopped from its moving." Levi also felt relieved at some point, knowing that the scythe the Centipedes having its last-minute on attacking towards him had nearly reached into his left belly, a few millimeters away from it.

"What now, looks like the quest you'd given on me had now completed." Levi seemed enthusiastic for some reason, knowing that he might be having his body on returning into one.

The Unknown left smiling on him, simply commending the work and effort he'd made on surviving the magic creatures that he made all this time.

Not knowing the fact that the Centipedes he created was nothing but a piece of magic metals suitable for training, also enhancing the senses and other components of the practitioner's body in due time.

Levi went out perplexing and irritated at him as the result, simply trying to assure himself the credibility of the Unknown Being's truthfulness towards the situation they held in.

!Tock! !Tock!

/Metallic materials mercilessly knocking out in an instant./

Out of his anger and frightening feeling against the Reworked Centipedes, he unnoticing destroyed all of the magical creatures that the Unknown Being created just for a purpose.

The Unknown Being didn't go anguished nor distraught to what he did on his creations, rather than the only intentions for it was too destroyed and nothing but to dissimilate.

As the result, he left nothing but to see his creations being desolated in a meaningless and worthless way.

Then, speaking for the Magic creatures;

Levi suddenly went remembered the things that the Unknown Being always mentioning about.

"Is the Robotic Centipede you'd created considered to be known as Magic creatures?" Levi simply asked for it out of his curiosity.

"Hmm... Good Question..." The Unknown Being gladly accepting the questions made by Levi Furiman, thinking that even he doesn't recognize it either way.

And so,

After several minutes of explaining it and other important reminders that are even more reliable than before. Levi Furiman finally managed on returning to his body once more, far better and in his best condition.

.

.

.

In an isolated land, outside Willow Village territory.

Sam Smeagel, along with Pista Rambutan having their time attending to a place that no one knows would be existing.

Not until the time they finally arrived in what they reached in.

"This is it..." Sam cautiously confirmed.

Pista felt uneasiness for a moment, thinking it would be some traps laid by the unknown enemies, enough for the likes and interest of the Department Head to caught in.

"No, that's not what you'd imagined." Unfortunately, Sam Smeagel's mind was already fixed, and nothing changed about it.

Causing Pista Rambutan to be left wary for the surroundings they reached in furthermore, knowing the fact that the place they arrived had been completely isolated and far out of their jurisdiction.

Not only that, it was completely prohibited for the officials like them to pass through the territory of another, without having consent from the other territory officials.

Even though they were already aware of it from the start. But then again, for the sake of curiosity of the Possessors of the Supreme Awakening, as well as the person involving towards from it. The minds of the Department Head sincerely knew about the importance and out of his concern as what he resolved for it.

.

As the two courageously walking the mossy, stuffed forest filled with wild magic stones and other magic presence emitted everywhere. Pista Rambutan couldn't hold himself but to felt restless and trembling his body for some particular reason.

Even though the Awakening possession that he wields was the Knightsmen race, sensing only Awakening auras as his limitation on his powers. He couldn't help but keep his senses sharp and awake as if his instincts went reacting abnormally whenever they walked deeper in an unknown forest that they held in.

"What are you doing? chill yourself out there?" Sam Smeagel instantly noticed about it, simply ordering Pista with patience.

"No Chief looks like you're the one who needed some help...." Pista quickly declined, surprisingly asked on him to calm his senses.

Knowing that the body of Sam Smeagel had been reacted more than Pista's feeling the most, as he saw Sam's Eye of the Awakening unnoticing activated and his Demi-being presence had been spurring out unwantedly.

"As I told you, this is a trap..." Pista suddenly scolded Sam out of his anger.

"Shut up... Like I always said, this is not a trap... this is the right place that 'She' told on me, i***t!" Sam keeping himself right at his conviction.

Causing the two to have a short commotion in the middle of the forest, full of known resources and magical creatures as well.

Earlier.

The moment when Sam Smeagel having a quick conversation with Yaka the Homo-goblin and other Demi-beings inside the Dungeon break.

"We're greatly indebted to the young Supreme Awakener for his sacrifices towards our miserable, unforgivable lives that we have already." Yaka having her quick thanks to Sam Smeagel on behalf of the efforts of Levi Furiman's work.

Sam Smeagel clearly didn't understand the language that they made, simply activating his Eye of the Awakening as a mode of communication that occurred between each other.

As the result, moments after.

He smiled and was relieved, thinking that the thoughts made by the Demi-beings aren't intended on having a confrontation against them.

But nonetheless;

The glares of the Demi-being leaders didn't seem glad and satisfied with the things and actions are given by Sam Smeagel towards them.

As what they had believed.

*A Demi-being Possessors must not nor cannot have any sorts of confrontation nor dispute against the true-blooded Demi-beings, they will simply react horrendously and wickedly towards it. Especially when it comes to entering the place where the dungeon takes in.*

"You Bastard, are you trying to mock our Races?" Yaka furiously asked Sam Smeagel what she triggered on him surprisingly.

Other Demi-being Leaders staring maliciously at him, started to draw their weapons in front of him as well.

Sam went dreadful and perplexed at the moment, thinking something that might be causing a huge misunderstanding between the two sides around it.

He cut off the activation on his Eye of the Awakening immediately, thinking that it might be the cause of their enraged all of a sudden.

And so, it was held and just. As he noticed the murderous aura that they emitted had gone slowly and started to perish.

"I'm very sorry, I swear it will never have happened." Sam truthfully apologizing for what he had done already against them.

Likewise, Yaka simply accepting his apology on behalf of the Demi-being race with a soft smile on her face like nothing happened all of a sudden.

Then, for the sake of their understanding and communicating. She diverts her native language into a human manner, allowing Sam Smeagel to understand what she had told him all about.

"Like what I said, we want to take the young Supreme Awakener into our custody." Yaka began serious, as she cautiously asked the Department head solemnly and thoughtfully.

And so, as what she expected from his response.

Sam Smeagel instantly declined, whole-heartedly and without hesitating.

"I am glad that you guys are having back into normal, as what the Supreme Awakening did to remove the curses that you guys carried along for a long time. But then again, the custody for him was already booked and graciously accepted to be our responsibility for him." Sam valiantly taking his name in charge of Levi's life all of a sudden.

Knowing the fact of that, Yaka left nothing to do anymore but to understand the decisions he'd made.

Leaving a short message for him to have the information of their whereabouts for them to follow after the dungeon started to closed permanently and taking their departure separately.

The following for that;

Inside the Adventurers Administration Building.

Moments after Sam Smeagel and Robert Steel finishing up their report and attendance inside the building.

The two Investigations Personnel left themselves isolated away from the crowd and the Adventurer Knights Personnel for some obvious reasons.

Knowing that the inside of the building would be boisterous after the pleasant and hopeful news given by the Personnel had gone ramming and rampant all over the place.

Sam secretly calling the attention of Pista Rambutan, whereas having himself on dealing the people and other Building attendants alongside Misho Santa on the corner.

With a quick nod against each other, Pista's mind already settled immediately. Without taking hints and other showy gestures in public.

"Misho-san, mind if I taking a leak for a while..." Pista started having an excuse for leaving everyone with ease.

"Oh, okay?... You don't have to say it either..." Misho startled all of a sudden, left nothing but to agreed awkwardly on him.

A few minutes later.

The presence of Pista Rambutan couldn't be reached to the senses of Misho Santa ever since he leaves.

At the same time;

Sam Smeagel and Pista Rambutan already preparing themselves, heading straight north-eastern part of the Willow Village, riding a wild horse as a mode of their transportation, and started hiding their presence completely and thoroughly. Trying not to get caught by the eyes of the people and the presence of someone they knew as well.

More than an hour of traveling outside the territory.

The two stealthy Investigators finally arrived in the place, where Yaka the Demi-being wanted them to go.

And so, the first part of their journey had now commenced.
