Fantasy Lord: I Have a Moving Castle

So the Praying Light Sword enlisted the Thunder Night Dragon and Fierce Sword Firefly to steal this unassuming stone?

Char was somewhat incredulous.

From the grey-white cobwebs twined around the Praying Light Sword and the bone fragments sticking to the web, it was clear that it had gone to the lair of the skeleton widow spider, with the sole purpose of stealing the stone.

It must have attempted this many times before, but due to the vast difference in levels between it and the skeleton widow spider, and the need to penetrate deep into the enemy’s lair, even with its special skill to conceal its movements, success had eluded it—In fact, considering the Challenge Level of Praying Light Sword, the fact that it could repeatedly attempt to infiltrate the lair of the skeleton widow spider and escape unharmed each time was already surprising enough for Char.

Now, with the long-awaited assistance of the Thunder Night Dragon and Fierce Sword Firefly to restrain the skeleton widow spider, how could the Praying Light Sword wait any longer?

However, the stone really appeared far too ordinary, just an unremarkable grey-white rock.

But when his gaze focused on the Praying Light Sword and its panel appeared, his disbelief vanished without a trace.

[Praying Light Sword (Animated Object)]

[Skills]: Dawn Light (Tier 4), Light Sword (Tier 3), Sharp (Tier 3), High-speed Flight (Tier 3)

[Challenge Level]: 6 (Promoting)

[Introduction]: With the help of the Thunder Night Dragon and Fierce Sword Firefly, the Praying Light Sword finally succeeded in stealing its long-coveted treasure—a Bright Treasure Diamond—from the lair of the skeleton widow spider. The Bright Treasure Diamond can enhance the Strength of the Praying Light Sword, and once it completely absorbs the power of the Bright Treasure Diamond, it will undergo a monumental transformation in power.

Just as Char was marveling at his luck, the Bright Treasure Diamond, attached to the Praying Light Sword like a magnet, suddenly shed its outer layer, revealing its crystal clear and dazzling gemstone essence.

This was a Bright Treasure Diamond, half the size of an egg, glowing from within like flowing morning light, warm and comforting, inspiring hope.

[Bright Treasure Diamond]

[Introduction]: A gemstone that the priests of the Dawn God polish day and night with Holy Oil, containing the power of Morning Light. It can be used in conjunction with the Dawn God’s priests to invoke some powerful Divine Arts, among other uses.

Similar information popped up for the Bright Treasure Diamond.

"Let’s go, we’re heading back," said Char, suppressing the thrill in his heart.

Now that the exact Level of the skeleton widow spider had been confirmed, it was time to strategize their next move.

Challenge Level 9 was a challenge for him, but it was not an insurmountable chasm, especially if he waited for the Thunder Night Dragon to advance another level, he would have a main force capable of withstanding the opponent.

Although it is true that the higher the Level, the more difficult the promotion and the longer it takes—like with Fierce Sword Firefly, Char did not expect it to reach Challenge Level 8 anytime soon, even with the help of Energy Essence and attribute food.

But, the Thunder Night Dragon was different; it was a Subadult, naturally in a state of rapid power growth. Add on the effects of Energy Essence and attribute food, its growth rate would outpace the likes of Fierce Sword Firefly, Clover Mantis, and Lotus Leaf Frog.

This rapid growth would continue until it reached full maturity.

So, even though Thunder Night Dragon was the highest-Level Magic Pet under Char’s command, when it came to leveling up, the others might not be able to outpace it.

As long as the Thunder Night Dragon advanced to Level 9, his safety would be greatly assured, and there would be no more instances like today where Thunder Night Dragon alone could restrain the skeleton widow spider—restraining and distraction were two completely different things, the probability of danger was worlds apart.

Moreover, now that the Praying Light Sword’s power was also undergoing a transformation, the odds were even better.

He did not need to do anything else but wait for Thunder Night Dragon and Praying Light Sword to level up, and then he could take down the skeleton widow spider.

It was just uncertain how much the Praying Light Sword would be able to level up this time. If it could only reach Level 7, then, despite its natural advantage over Undead, it could only be regarded as a Level 8 Magic Pet.

If it could advance to Level 8, then taking down the skeleton widow spider would be a cinch.

...

In the forest, three Wind Winged Horses pulled the carriage at the front, swiftly moving through the woods. When they encountered denser clumps of trees, the azure wings of the Wind Winged Horses unfolded, and the Light Wind whirled beneath the carriage. In the next second, the carriage had breezed past the branches and flown out of the forest.

Char stood by the window, pleased with the scenery below.

The trees of the Florence Forest were mostly tall and spaced widely apart, providing space for the carriage to pass through. If it were in denser forests, Char’s carriage wouldn’t be able to move an inch.

But even with wide spacing, there were times they could not pass, and then they had to detour. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

However, now it was different. When faced with an impassable path, they simply flew over it, eliminating the need for detours.

It saved a great deal of time on the road.

The Thunder Night Dragon flew alongside the carriage in the sky, while inside, aside from Char himself, there were Freyja, Star Worm, Betty, Clover Mantis, Rain Sound Kingfisher, and Night Helmeted Owl.

Fierce Sword Firefly and Praying Light Sword were left behind to guard the Garden Secret Realm.

Although for now the Garden Secret Realm seemed safe, what if the Undead rose in revolt? It was still necessary to leave some powerful forces behind to protect the others.
