A Guild Hall!

"Good morning Master!" Innu says happily upon seeing me.

"Morning Innu, how are you feeling?" I ask and she smiles.

"I'm feeling fine. I'm still a little sore though. I can't train today but I can move around." She says and I nod.

"What did the guilds ask?" Verona asks me and I tell her what we talked about. I don't tell her how I told them about her grudge. "Temptaions dead?" She asks and I nod. "I think they're right about the reason. The Demon God expects you to unseal him. He's recovering his powers for the fight. It also explains the message he left." She says and I nod.

"Do you have any plans for now Master?" Innu asks and I nod.

"I got another Seed I need to go plant. And another Ball to add to my Crown." I say and Verona's eye sparkles.

"What crown? What do you mean by another Ball? And did you say you got another Seed!?" Verona asks and I smile. I nod and take out my Kings Crown. She looks at it in awe.

"Where did you get this?" She asks and I tell her how I got it as a reward for clearing a Goblin Dungeon, the same one I met Ramia in. I place the Rock Dragon Ball in one of the five free spitals. A new pop-up appears and I smile, glad I chose this spiral.

Rock Dragon Ball Accepted, Transferring power to the associated spell. Spell Enhanced Defence has awakened. The spell has been altered by the Rock Dragons mana. It now increases your base defense by 50 while worn.

I smile before reequipping the Crown. I stand up and walk outside. I go plant the Seed of Chaos near the other two. Verona follows and watches as I pour my blood on the ground. The four-hour timer appears as it soaks my blood. I turn back to Verona who sighs.

"Eric, I'm not good at these things, but I need to tell you something. Thank you for saving me, and sorry. I placed that mark on you that let me teleport to you because I didn't trust you." She says and I smile awkwardly.

"Don't worry about it, Verona. I honestly wasn't really thinking when I healed you. And while I have mixed feelings about the teleporting mark. The fact is that it did save me. So I can overlook it this time." I say and she nods. She looks down and mutters something.

"Did you really do it without thinking?" She asks after a moment and I nod.

"My Thought Acceleration skill activated, but I still didn't think during it." I say and she nods before running off. I chuckle before turning around. I start waking back to my cabin when I stop. I take out my wings and fly down to the ocean. I need to go see what the Lady of The Lake wanted to talk about. I land on the beach and see a wave of water raise. It rushes to the beach to meet me. As it gets to the shore, it changes shape and turns into the Lady of The Lake. She walks onto the shore and smiles.

"Thanks for coming Eric. I hope you're feeling better." She says and I nod.

"I am, what is it you wanted to talk about?" I ask getting straight to the point.

"I'd like to change our contract."

"Why is that?" I ask, curious since I expected something else.

"We Lady of The Lakes get our power from water. We absorb the mana that flows within it. That's why I asked to reside in your ocean. I could tell it was rich in mana when you first Summoned me. But there's more mana than I had first thought. I didn't know you had a Dryads Forest Core. So I'd like to continue residing in your ocean. But since our contract ends when we slay the Demon God, I'd like to change it. That's why I asked you here." She says and I nod. Having her here would be nice. If I can get her to agree to fight that is. She certainly seemed capable against the Devil of Seduction. I think before nodding.

"Okay, then you can stay in my ocean for as long as you're willing to fight for my guild." I say and she nods.

"Will do. Also Eric, Innu came up with a nickname for me. You can call me Lakey from now on." She says and I smile. We shake hands and I get another pop-up.

Contract Complete!

You may now Summon the Faye: Lady of The Lake whenever you or your guild enters a fight. She will reside in your Domains ocean during the duration of the Contract. The Contract ends when you decide it or when she stops fighting.

"Okay Lakey. I'll talk to you later." I say and she nods before sinking into a puddle. She flows down the sand and back into the ocean. I walk back to my cabin and stretch my arms. As I get close I see Luna run out.

"ALPHA!" She shouts out loudly.

"Yeah Luna!" I shout back, not as loud.

"It's here! We got the papers!" She says happily and I run the rest of the way. I walk in and see Asami holding the papers in her hand. I can see the blueprints of the building behind them. I smile and Luna jumps up.

"Let's go! I want to see it again!" She says and both Asami and I laugh. Asami gets Innu and Ramia as I call Hino and tell her we're heading out to our guild hall. She says she'll be here soon and hangs up. As I put my phone away she and Myla appear in front of me.

"We're here!" Myla says happily.

"C'mon, let's go!" Luna says impatiently and I chuckle before nodding. We exit to my apartment and walk down to the old building we bought.
