A choice...

Leonhardt sat on his throne in silence.

Not long after being slapped by Zafira, she fled from the dungeon and hid in her private room. Though he could easily open the door, he understood she wanted to be alone and didn't want to provoke her right now. 

However, he couldn't forget the scent and warm sensation that lingered in his palm.

"Well then..."

Nyxara left the dungeon after he asked her to prepare to contact the human village. She would work with Erina to build a trading relationship with special monster hides and fur they got from monsters in the west. 

'I planned to avoid doing this, but now that I want to dominate the basin...'

Leon tapped the dungeon interface while choosing rare monsters that would offer the dark elves a challenge. He spent over 4000 DP summoning arctic panthers that ranged from level 30-35 for them to hunt. 

'I need more than just physical strength.'
