Kapitel 57: Happy Moments at Day & Hunting Monstrous Giant Spiders at Night!

-----

"(It seems that Asterion and Hilvera learned Wind Attribute Magic as well as Gust, separating both Skills… they probably have no spells in Wind Attribute Magic yet, so they have been simply using Gust…)" thought Frank as he inspected the twins' status as they walked back home.

Ding!

[Share your Power!] (Hidden Quest) Completed!

Congratulations! You are actually not a selfish and edgy prick that thinks that only he should be the strongest and reign over everything!

Your mental maturity is quite surprising!

Many others would simply drown in their power and not even think about being considerate towards others to this point!

Amazing!

…But is that it?

Keep recruiting more people, the more you do, the more echoes are done!

And the more echoes, the healthier I get!

"Oh… these things are more like achievements… But was that Gaia talking in the Quest? Yeah, I assumed as much at this point… And thanks, I like to not be the stereotypical edgy kid. I would rather kill myself before becoming something like that…" thought Frank.

"Grawr!" said Ruby, as she licked Frank's face… her size should not let her easily stay on Frank's shoulder as she was getting chunkier as she leveled up.

However, as she reached level 6, Ruby acquired the 'Body Size Alteration' Skill and gained the ability to alter her size slightly, being able to make herself smaller or bigger by a few centimeters.

This was enough for her to reduce her size to that of a small lizard. She used this size reduction to her advantage as she made Frank's clothes her new home, staying inside of his t-shirt, and even sitting on his shoulders.

Perhaps thanks to this new ability, she would be able to come inside the house with Frank instead of having to stay outside.

After finally reaching the house, it was time for explanations.

Everything was explained thoroughly as they planned, Hilvera and Asterion were rather bad actors, but they did not have to lie at all, simply going along with what Frank said.

After having experienced so many fantastical things already, both of them accepted it quite quickly and were simply very happy over the twin's talent to awaken it while they were training against monsters.

In special Cathyl, was moved to tears after discovering that her babies had the talent that she lacked. Having children more talented than oneself was perhaps the thing that every parent wanted.

"BUAAAAAHHH! My little angels! I knew it! I knew that you were talented! Mama knew that you would not inherit my talentless! I am so happyyyyyyy!" cried Cathyl as her tears flowed through her eyes.

Due to the enormous status difference between those that never awakened their Mana Cores and those that did and had the chance to become Magus, such an event as this made Cathyl exceedingly happy, knowing that her children would at least have a better life than hers.

"Agh, stop being so clingy, mom!" said Asterion.

"I will… I will make sure to make you proud, mommy!" said Hilvera with shining eyes.

"You sure will, my little princess! I know you two will!" said Cathyl with the happiest smile that Frank had ever seen on her beautiful face.

"(Did I brought such happiness to her?)" he wondered.

Annabelle also explained things about Mana Control, and that how Frank had good talent in teaching to manipulate Mana to others. The explanation of Frank's unusually faster mana regeneration and also the Mana Transfer Spell were shared as well, but very lightly.

Nonetheless, both Gwendolyn and Cathyl were even more impressed by Frank than they were already.

"To think that you can transfer mana to others without the need of an artifact…" muttered Gwendolyn.

"Amazing, Frank-kun, I expect you to take good care of my little angels, they look up to you a lot, don't disappoint them," said Cathyl with a gentle smile, patting Frank's shoulders.

Frank could not help but nod.

"Of course, they feel like my little siblings as well, so I don't have much problem helping them out. It is also pretty fun to go hunting with a party," said Frank.

"Isn't it? Perhaps if you all grow stronger, then you would be able to explore a dungeon and earn riches!" said Cathyl.

"That's pretty late from now, they still gotta receive my friend's magic classes," said Gwendolyn.

"Oh? When is she getting here anyways, missy?" asked Cathyl.

"In around three to four days… But it could be earlier… or later, who knows? She's quite sporadic," said Gwendolyn.

Although Frank possessed the Mana Control Skill, he was still excited about being taught more about magic in detail by a Magus such as this Witch that Gwendolyn had as a friend.

"There are many things I have not grasped about magic yet, and there might be many more I would need to know to even use my abilities, those gifted by Abraddon-sama, to its fullest potential…" said Frank.

"Indeed, it is nice that even as strong as you are, you're still humble," said Gwendolyn.

"Yeah, I am glad Frank-kun stays humble and does let his power get into his head like all the arrogant Magus at town!" said Cathyl.

The whole family kept chatting until it was bedtime. Everyone had already dined and even bathe, so the next step was simply to go to bed.

However, after making sure that everyone slept peacefully, Frank sneaked out of the house and ran with Ruby near the forest, deep within the woods.

After disposing of a few annoying Walking Mushrooms, Frank finally sighed as there weren't any more annoyances around.

"Now, time for this… Alright Ruby, let's grind for a bit!" said Frank.

"Grawr!" said Ruby.

"Create Hunting Domain…" said Frank, as he activated the Instant Domain Creation in another world, Terra.

Flash!

"It's… working?!" asked Frank in surprise, using a power that seemingly was only to be used in Earth due to the implications it had, he was surprised because such rules could be bend in Terra to do the same thing as in Earth…

But did Terra had a god that helped him in making the Domain?

On Earth, it was the Earth itself, Gaia, who helped anyone make an Instant Domain, although the user also had to know the principles and Mana Control to an extent.

However, Terra was a place where such a concept didn't exist, how could this Skill work?

Unless the power to create instant domains immediately changed to something else the moment Frank acquired it as a Skill…

Flash!

Space suddenly distorted for a small amount of time, as Frank felt as if he had gone elsewhere, yet he was still in the same place.

Ding!

[The Hunting Domain: Spider Queen's Nest (Rank 1-3) has been created!]

"It's actually worked…! Huh?" asked Frank in surprise, as he realized that the deepest areas of the forest were now covered in countless spiderwebs.

[Several Ominous Presences Detected!]

As Frank was alerted of the presence of much ominous presence through his Detection Skill, he reinforced his body through Body Aura, Bronze Skin, and Mana Aura, quickly taking out the Magic Spear that belonged to Gwendolyn.

"GGIIISHIIAA!"

Suddenly, a giant spider, of over one meter of height jumped out of the nearest tree, its entire body was completely black, while its abdomen was covered in a skull-shaped tattoo.

The creature bared its fangs towards Frank as it secreted deadly poison, but Frank responded with even faster speed, raising his spear towards the jumping spider, and impaling its abdomen.

"Giiishiiaaa…!"

The giant spider struggled as it tried to survive, even after such an amount of damage, it seemed to still hold on to the will to live.

"Mana Bullet!" said Frank, firing a transparent sphere of mana towards the spider as it received enough damage to die, exploding into black smoke.

Frank felt the flow of Experience Points but did not have the time to glance at the tiny item that the creature dropped, as soon after, three more spiders jumped out of the trees nearby!

"GRAAWR!" roared Ruby, jumping out of Frank's clothes as it became as big as the spiders themselves! Ruby opened her jaws as she unleashed a powerful blazing breath, burning one of the spiders to a crisp in mere seconds, as the creature shrieking in agony as it fell on the ground, not long after turning into black smoke.

"Good job, Ruby! Flying Mana Spears!" said Frank, intercepting the second spider with his Gray Magic Spell Flying Mana Spears, which unleashed a barrage of magic-made spears that clashed against the spider's body like volts.

Clash! Clash! Clash!

"Giishyaaaa…!" shrieked the spider, quickly turning into black smoke and disappearing.

"And for you, Gust!" said Frank, as he raised his palm towards the third spider, unleashing a strong gust of emerald mind, making the spider lost its balance and falling elsewhere, where Ruby intercepted it with her fire breath, quickly grilling it alive as it disappeared into black smoke.

"Four down!" said Frank, as he glanced at the quest he had just gotten, which needed him to defeat thirty spiders for a Boss to show up!

"These monsters can both poison and use webs, and they're quite tricky as well, preferring to ambush us from behind, we have to be careful, Ruby! Let's go!" said Frank, as Ruby followed after Frank as the two entered the accursed forest of spiders.
