“Control Element: Wood” Desmond activated his spell, gathering energy and summoning a piece of the wood from the ground as it slowly transformed into a cup. The next moment, the surrounding sand around him also started to gather on the wooden cup.

*swoosh*

A fire suddenly appeared, melting the sand into high degree temperature with a small water cyclone was seen cycling on the outer surface of the wooden cup that was protecting the cup from the melting process.

As the time passed when the temperature had reached a certain degree, Desmond controlled those elements and removed the surrounding water cyclone from the wooden cup, making the lava from the sand blend with the wooden cup shape.

The moment the lava from the sand and the wooden cup touched each other, a mist was formed as the cup also started to evaporate.

When the lava began to take the shape of the cup, a white silver metal ‘Chromium’ suddenly formed in mid-air from the surrounding energy.

It moved and slipped between the shaping process of the lava and the cup, changing the shape of the red hot lava to become taller and have a narrowed tip.

After a few seconds, the mist on the ground slowly dispersed, revealing a small bottle of glass. The bottle was clean without crack as it reflected Desmond’s body.

“Nice bottle,” Desmond muttered as he took the bottle and shoved the green blood on it.

He observed the blood in a closer look and saw the blood stiffly moving as if it had a lot of masses and turned into thick like jelly. Unlike human blood, the blood from the beasts race was thicker and stinky.

The steps to how he knew to make glass were found when he lacked a material to store the blood from the wolves. After several trials applying methods from his past world, he found the glass process making was not hard as it only needed sand as the main material.

In this high degree temperature barren land, he could even spot several unshaped glasses that were made naturally by nature.

“Only need the last one, which I don’t need to waste my time too much hunting Wyvern,” Desmond concluded after looking at his stats and the requirement to become 1st class Dragonslayer.

He then looked at the directions where his subordinates went where the Imperial Empire was located. It seems he would be tagged along with them again.

“I hope they are still alive,” When he glanced at the surrounding corpses, it would be huge of waste if he just left here but he also had no way to bring the corpses with him. “A pity,”

Desmond shook his head and with a flick from his fingers, a dark magenta fire suddenly appeared from thin air, burning the blood along with the corpses to the ashes in just a minute.

Suddenly when Desmond wanted to use his swordsman skills, he saw a white dot on the map, coming from the North Kingdom territory direction and slowly heading to his hiding base.

“Wait… I almost forget about her,” A woman figure with long ears flashed on his mind. They had communicated with each other using magic messages back then.

After pondering for a moment, Desmond changed his destination. His body started to bulging with many veins were seen on his skin. The white skin has turned into a bit redden as the ground starts to be cracked.

“Swordsman Skill: Body Enhancement!”

*boom*

After Desmond activated his skills, the ground beneath him was destroyed, creating a big crater and leaving a huge impact on the surrounding.

The cloud in the sky was blasted away from his original location with many small typhoons were created in the aftermath.

The power of beyond 4th class swordsman was displayed!

As Desmond ran, the view around him already blurred with some beasts were seen trying to catch him but failed as their body split into many parts. The wind impact from his speed was not a joke!

Amazing! Desmond spoke inwardly. He could see his feet just jumping forward normally, but clearly it was not normal when his surrounding became blurry.  The stronger his stats the stronger his body.

Desmond agilely controlled his body and avoided many tall trees while killing the beast along the way. Sadly, he could not absorb the energy as he would be crashed if he suddenly stopped in the mid way, it also wasted his time just collecting some beasts that could only give me a little energy.

In just one hour, he easily crossed 300 km with the support of the swordsman skills along with his body already reaching the power beyond a 4th class.

Traveling alone was the best option!

….

When Desmond arrived near the white dot on his map, the sun had already sunk, changing the color of the blue sky with orange.

The barren landscape from before had already changed into a thick jungle with a cricket sound was heard and the darkness began enveloping the surrounding object.

“Basic Spell: Wardspell” A magic circle appearing from thin air, gathering energy to the center of the circle and creating a white ball that hovers around him.

Every time he cast a spell that he learned from his mother or his sister in the academy, it always annoyed him because it would always summon a magic circle! Which was one of the reasons why he mostly used Control Element!

Desmond slowly advanced with the tall grass blocking his vision, approaching the white dot that seemingly just stayed and did not move.

Shelty? At the same time, he also tried to send a magic message but received no response from her.

When Desmond finally arrived at the white dot on his map, he saw a small cave with a light flickered with a shadow of a person with a long ear and hair could be seen inside the cave.

“What is she doing?” As Desmond did not hide his presence and arrival, the footstep from his feet finally caused a reaction to the shadow.

The hovering ball light also attracts some attention from the surrounding beasts, but they just gaze at him without any sign of attacking.

“Shelty?” When Desmond arrived in the cave, he saw an elf girl with light long brown hair lying on the ground with her red face. She was breathing weakly with her eyes half-open.

Her clothes were already torn, revealing the smooth and white of her big chest. Some of the threads still connected to her private parts, blocking her butt and her nipples.

“What happen to you?” Desmond immediately held her body and checked her condition. There was no wound it was just her body in high temperature as if she had a fever.

“You-ng master,” On the other hand, Shelty who lay on the ground was shocked to see her young master face looking at her with his eyebrows knitted.

Desmond frowned after he realized her body was thin as a skeleton. Even though her chest was still big the other part such as her stomach had many blue marks and kept letting out a growling sound.

“Wait here first, I will fetch some food,” After eleven years lived in this world and being hunted by the North Kingdom for the past few months make Desmond realized how valuable the closest person besides his family was.

Laura, Annie ,Shelty and the other maids and servants that have been serving him and his family for years now his heart finally had been regarded them as a part of his family.

Yet, the subordinates he meant were the subordinates who came from his house, not those from Felix as those subordinates from Felix’s still was a stranger in his eyes.
