"An elemental creature is coming!?"

"It's possible, but while we're in here, nothing should happen to us."

They all said nervously.

"I'm going out to take a look at it."

The black-haired youth put down the containers with the five-colored flowers on the ground and quickly went to the entrance to the cave.

"...It doesn't seem like an elemental creature is approaching. Maybe it was just a tremor."

He looked out of the cave but saw absolutely nothing approaching from afar.

Bang!

Crack!

Just when the young man was going to turn around and enter the cave again.

A terrible sound was heard inside the cave. Suddenly, the entire cave began to collapse.

"No!"

The young man screamed in panic as he saw how a multitude of rocks was going to fall on him. But he quickly summoned a Kryon that helped him get away from the cave.

"A-are they dead?"

"But a simple collapse in this cave shouldn't be able to kill them if they use a Kryon to protect themselves from falling rocks."

The black-haired youth looked worriedly in the direction of the cave that was covered in a cloud of dust.

Roar!

A roar that caused his heart to stop for a second echoed throughout the forest.

From the cloud of dust, the gray head of a creature poked out. Its teeth turned out to be those sharp rocks inside the cave!

Trumble!

The young man, who was completely dumbfounded, watched as what he thought were gray trees and bushes began to move in the same direction along with the ground.

Using a flying Kryon, he finally saw the entire body of this creature.

An elongated gray body like that of a snake, but with gray trees on its back and a misshapen eyeless head that split open in the middle, revealing a mouth full of gray teeth.

The entire body of this creature glowed with a gray light.

"A-a high-ranking elemental creature!"

Even before he finished speaking, the young man was already walking away from this elemental creature.

He looked back, and luckily, the elemental creature wasn't following him. He was actually walking away as if he was in a hurry.

"Wait... The direction he's going isn't where the base is!?"

"No! I have to notify the base quickly!"

Boom!

Before this young man with black hair could use his holographic wristband to warn of the attack on the base.

A massive claw of fire crushed everything tens of kilometers away!

Thw young man definitely died without even knowing how he died!

The claw gently lifted. The body of the fire elemental creature was like that of a giant wolf with its fur made of flames.

Not only was the elemental creature the only one that was walking in the same direction as the gray elemental creature. There were dozens of other elemental creatures that were also following the same path.

-------------

At the Sea of Galaxies shopping center.

Lanaery, who was walking next to Rose. For the first time since she came to this world, people were not staring at her.

They were all looking at the large holographic screens located at the top of the shopping center.

"To think that one of the world government's bases was destroyed in just one hour."

Rose spoke to Lanaery as she, too, watched what was happening on the holographic screen.

A man's voice spoke over a live video showing the ruins of a completely destroyed base. Among the rubble of the base was a big piece of wall with the number one hundred and fifteen in yellow.

"Just an hour ago, a group of elemental creatures from the Beast Continent, one of the two danger zones, made a surprise attack on the one hundred and fifteenth base that belonged to the world government."

"The reason for the attack is currently unknown, but according to some Stars Engineers it may not have been a coincidence."

The male voice spoke with a hint of bitterness.

"Only ten survivors out of thousands of people were reported, and all the survivors are level six Stars Masters."

"Fortunately, a level seven Star Master arrived on the scene and killed half of the elemental creatures."

"The other elemental creatures fled."

In the live video, a woman in silver armor with dark blue hair, and wind wings was seen floating above this base.

On a smaller screen was a video already recorded of how this woman a few minutes ago arrived at this base when the elemental creatures were still destroying it.

She suddenly summoned a Griffin-shaped Kryon as big as the surrounding elemental creatures. This Kryon covered its body with gusts of wind, making it look like a Griffin made only of wind!

Wooosh!

With its wings, the Kryon fired thousands of blades of wind that tore the body of an elemental creature that resembled an ice lizard.

Then, using the Kryon as a center. A gigantic tornado swept away half of these elemental creatures, cutting their bodies into countless pieces.

The other terrifying-looking elemental creatures could only run away with all their might.

In the end, there was only a small group of level six Stars Masters left who luckily survived and the dark blue-haired woman who stared with cold eyes at the fleeing elemental creatures.

"..."

A great silence fell over the shopping center.

"Amazing!"

Suddenly, a person said with an expression of admiration for the strong.

"I think that this Star Master is Mitla Damarcir."

"So she is a Star Master of the Damarcir family! There are only four Stars Masters who are at level seven in that family. She must be one of those four."

"Her Kryon is the design used by all members of the Damarcir family. It's amazing what a high-ranking, imperfect Kryon can do."

The crowd of people in the shopping center kept talking about the origin of the woman by the name of Mitla.

"Master Suries, do you know the two danger zones?"

Rose asked Lanaery seeing a clear confusion in her eyes.

Lanaery gently shook her head at her. She hadn't had time these days to keep looking for basic information on Earth.

"The Danger Zones are known to be the two most terrifying places on the entire Earth. There are two Danger Zones, one is the Continent of Beasts that you recently saw, and the other is the Continent of Blood."

Rose thought for a moment and continued speaking.

"In these danger zones, there are extremely dangerous creatures that we call elemental creatures. All because their bodies appear to be made of elements."

"Unlike the ancient continents, where mutated creatures can't leave their territories."

"These elemental creatures can move freely and go wherever they want."

With her tender eyes full of fear, Rose said, "There was a time when these elemental creatures almost conquered the Infernal continent. It was a time when almost all the Stars Masters in the world above level four fought a bitter war against these elemental creatures."

"For this reason, it is that now all organizations along with the world government have bases that monitor any strange movement of these two danger zones."

Lanaery frowned slightly at all of this. She thought that this world was really troublesome.

This was normal, since, on the one hand, there were mutated creatures on the ancient continents. On the other hand, there were elemental creatures in the two danger zones, and finally, there was the existence of rainbow portals that housed extremely terrifying monsters called Gillions.

"Let's go to this Kryons design store, you said. We don't have much time. You have to keep training."

Lanaery was serious when she actually said that they didn't have much time.

From her point of view, this world was in a state where it could enter a state of total war at any time.

"Ugh, okay, let's go."

Rose could only accept that her hellish training was going to continue.

Though remembering how she couldn't even touch her master's skin in that sparring match, her pretty purple eyes sparkled with the desire to continue training.

buzz!

Entering one of the stores inside this shopping center. Lanaery saw small holograms of Kryons that showed the different designs that this store sold.

The variety of Kryons was incredible.

Lanaery saw metallic turtles that apparently had heights of tens of meters. Many Kryons in the form of birds of different species and types.

She even saw Kryons that looked like insects. The designs were so varied that even Lanaery was impressed by human creativity.

"Welcome!" A sociable and cute shop assistant approached the two.

"May I know what you both need to buy? I can help make the process easier and faster."

Rose looked around and said, "Do you have combat nanobots?"

"Of course, we have the newest ones on the world market." This clerk nodded and pointed to an area where there were many small containers of different brands and colors.

The only thing similar was that all the little containers said combat nanobots.

"Perfect! I want the newest one, please."

Rose didn't hesitate to buy the most expensive container of combat nanobots in the store.

With the help of the shop assistant, the payment was made in no time and the nanobots ended up in Lanaery's precious hands.

Lanaery did what Rose told her to do, which was to use her mental energy on these nanobots so they would recognize her mental energy so no one else could use them.

She watched as the container immediately transformed into a group of silver nanobots that moved wherever she wanted them to move.

"Interesting."

Lanaery found all these technological products of humans really interesting.

Since none of this could be found in Sacred Origin, a place where technology did not exist, there were only items that required elemental power to use.

"Now it only remains to buy a design."

Rose spoke and looked at Lanaery.

"Master Suries, what kind of design do you want? An aquatic creature? Flying? Terrestrial? Or the kind that move underground?"

Lanaery, hearing all of these designs, quickly shook her pretty head, causing her silky black hair to sway to her sides, and said, "I want a sword. I don't like the idea of trusting those metal creatures that are so slow."

"A sword..."

Rose looked at the designs that were in the surroundings and saw that there were no bladed weapons in this store that was supposedly known as the best in this shopping center. She felt a little angry.

"Sorry to overhear your conversation. In fact, there are a few sword designs. Just being something customers rarely look for, they're kept in storage."

The cute shop assistant told them as she approached them.

"Can you let me see them?"

Lanaery asked with her beautiful golden eyes, looking at the shop assistant.

"Y-yes! I'll bring them in an instant!" Unable to bear the request of someone so beautiful, the woman ran to get the sword designs.

A minute later, this clerk returned with several glass cards in her hands.

"Here they are. These are the only sword designs in the shop."

Lanaery looked at these cards made of glass that had a sword in the center of each card.

There were five designs. Lanaery looked at the shape of each sword and finally decided to buy a sword with its thin blade and hilt in the shape of a dragon's head.

Lanaery allowed the nanobots to learn this design by bringing the card close to the nanobots.

With her mental energy, she formed a sword-type Kryon in her hand.

Slash!

She sliced through the air, testing the sword, and let the nanobots adjust the weight of the sword until she found the perfect weight.

"Thank you very much for choosing our store."

The clerk said goodbye to the two when she saw that they had already finished buying what they wanted.

Buzz!

When Lanaery and Rose were outside this Kryons store. The two heard a female voice full of mockery and gloating.

"What a coincidence that we have met with the disgrace of the family."

The voice belonged to a young girl with purple hair. She was accompanied by three other women and a young man with purple hair who looked at Rose with indifference, although when he saw Lanaery, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Rissa..."

Rose looked at the woman, who was called Rissa, with a complicated expression. There was both fury and pain.

"Don't say my name so casually. People will think we're on the same social scale. Someone like you who was kicked out of the Hesdia family shouldn't be in this town."

"...Or did you already get someone to help you? Maybe some old pervert took an interest in those huge breasts of yours, haha."

"Hahaha!"

The other women also laughed at what Rissa said.

Rose could only stay silent with her body trembling.

All of this was obviously seen by Lanaery, who instantly stepped in front of her and, looking into Rissa's eyes, said, "Go away."

"Huh? Who do you think you are to ask me to leave? Just because you're so beautiful, do you think others will do what you want?"

Rissa responded with anger and jealousy at Lanaery's appearance.

"I'll say it just one last time. Get out of my sight."

Saying these words, Lanaery let out a small amount of killing intent in her eyes.

"Y-you!" It didn't take long for this annoying young woman to feel like she was facing a massive ferocious beast that was preparing to devour her!

"D-do you really think I'll let myself be intimi-"

"!?"

Before she finished speaking, the young man behind her covered her mouth and said, "Sorry, we won't bother you anymore."

The next moment, he entered the Kryons store with the other women, who looked at him in a daze.

"Good senses..."

Lanaery said, since she was really going to chop Rissa's head off if she kept talking.

"Let's get out of here," Lanaery said, taking Rose's still-trembling hand, intending to go to the mansion.

----------------

"Why did you stop me from talking!?"

Pah!

"!?"

The young man slapped Rissa across the face, causing her body to fall to the ground.

"Do you know that you almost died because of your stupidity?" Said the young man with purple hair.

"D-I almost died?"

"What are you talking about?"

Sigh...

With a disappointed expression, the young man said, "It's really pathetic that you didn't realize that young lady is probably a high-level Star Master. Maybe she's level five or six."

"W-what!?"

Rissa was instantly startled upon hearing what the young man said.

"...What are we going to do if that's true?" Rissa asked nervously.

"We can only report it to the family... My father will decide what to do in this situation."

"Ok..." Rissa said with her hand covering the red palm mark on her face.
