The Fenrir beast turned out to be tougher than Keith had expected. For the most part, all he could do was defend himself while the Fenrir beast attacked him.

But he finally got his opportunity to attack when the Fenrir beast lost its reasoning and began to attack indiscriminately. It caused the beast to get distracted and Keith finally landed his first proper hit.

[Warning: the Fenrir beats is going into a frenzy mode. All incoming and outgoing damage will be increased in this state.]

That message was simple and Keith felt lucky that something like this had happened. This meant that he would be able to take care of the Fenrir beast much easier now.

All he needed to do was to pay attention to a few things and gather his divine power.

The more Keith attacked the Fenrir beast, the more he was able to feel his powers moving through his body.

[Divine fireball Lvl 30 launched]

The golden ball hit the divine beast and it disoriented it. But the danger was not great. But still, Keith was able to successfully hit his attacks now.

He was also able to tell how effective the attack was based on the value his system showed him. It was a great tool for Keith to utilize.

'Although, it still does not solve the problem of my mana sensibility. I am still not able to say how much of my mana I should be putting in my attack.'

But that was a different case for Keith. He quickly charged up his attack but the Fenrir beast shrugged the attack off.

'Tsk, I have no choice but to give it my all. I will have to use two attacks at the same time.'

Keith had watched people use multiple attacks at the same time before. It had looked easy when he had watched people do it. But now that he had to do it himself, he could not help but find it all to be complicated. 

He quickly made his way toward his company and watched as they came down from their high. His barrier snapped into place and Keith made sure to make it as strong as possible.

[Divine barrier, lvl 100 has been formed. May the user be protected.]

'Good. things are going according to plan now.'

Keith could not help but feel proud of himself for having enough mana left to perform his attack still. 

The golden ball of mana charged right above the Fenrir beast's head and it was difficult to maintain. Keith lost his concentration more than once during this process. But he was lucky that the divine mana he had put into that attack did not fade away.

[Divine bomb, lvl 90 is being charged. Chances of opponent surviving this attack - 10%]

It was infuriating how the Fenrir beast still had a chance to survive this attack. But Keith could not force himself to charge anymore of that divine bomb without dropping his barrier as well.

"It's now or never."

Keith whispered under his breath as he let the ball of divine power fall. 

The Fenrir beast looked started as the summer rush of Divine energy crushed its body. As soon as it realized what was happening, it tried to run away and save itself. But it was futile in the end.

The attack pulverized the poor divine beast in seconds.

As soon as the divine beast was dead, the elf village surrounding them changed into the fog. It made them realize that they had never managed to reach the village in the first place. They had been stuck in the forest all along.

"I feel so much weaker than before. It is almost as if y vitality had been sucked out of me."

Master Hana complained as her legs buckled. The amount of mana she had used was far from enough. But she still felt as if she had used everything she had in her aisle. It was such a familiar yet disorienting feeling for her.

"So, you feel like that as well? Even I feel drained and I did not even use any mana."

Shimi confirmed what she seemed to be feeling with Master Hana. Himeko had already passed out due to the stress of having her energy stuck out.

"Grandmaster, are you ok?"

Suddenly, Shimi turned toward the Grandmaster to see if he was alright or not. She did not want anything happening to the Grandmaster or the guilt would eat away at her heart.

But Keith felt alright. 

Apart from being tired because of the amount of mana he had channeled through his body, nothing seemed to be wrong with him.

"Hmm, this small mishap will not drain me, nor defeat me. Now pick yourself up and continue walking. We need to find the right path outside."

Keith was not sure what nonsense was escaping his mouth now. But he was too disoriented to analyze it in his mind. He will deal with the damage control later.

Both Shimi and Hana looked at each other with determined expressions. They needed to pick themselves up since that was what the Grandmaster had ordered. 

Keith picked up the unconscious Himeko and he was thankful that she was so tiny and light.

"I will lead us toward the main path. I might not be a full-blooded elf, but I do know a few tips and tricks of being one."

Shimi offered as she took the lead. They could finally see the end of this road and they quickly exited toward the main path.

It was an almost linear path from here on. 

"I am so thankful that you decided to heed my call, Grandmaster. Why do not you accompany me to my guild and rest there for a few days? I have everything prepared for your arrival anyway."

Master Hana offered this with her uttermost sincerity. Her eyes shined when she looked at Keith and that made it extremely difficult for him to deny Master Hana's invitation.

Shimi looked ready to protest but her eyes fell on Himeko and she quietened down. 

'Well, seems like Shimi developed a soft spot for her younger sister after all. I will need to hand Himeko over to Master Hana but it is a good opportunity for these sisters to spend time together.'

Keith made up his mind and agreed to Master Hana's offer.

Master Hana looked far too happy to have the Grandmaster accompany her like this. Her expression could not be counted on and Keith felt worried when he looked at it.

He had a sudden feeling that he had stabbed himself by agreeing to Master Hana's offer.

.....

'Ugh, this is bliss. I cannot believe I feared coming down here. But this turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life.'

Keith felt all his tension bleed out of his body as it shook in pleasure. The vibrations going up and down his spine helped him relax.

Even the massage his butt was receiving helped him loosen up and force all the tension out of his body.

The more time Keith spent like this, the more he was able to relax.

'Ugh, this is bliss. I will also buy a massager and sauna once I go back home. It is a great way to chase your stress away.'

Keith relaxed his body in the water and melted. He was afraid that he would soon become one with the vibrating and blissful water he was in.

*Knock*

"I am coming in."

Even the knock and those words could not drag Keith out of his blissful paradise. He was too deep into it to realize what was going on around him.

It was not until another body landed in the water and right into Keith's lap did, he realized that there was someone else in the room with him.

Keith tensed up first before he suppressed his yell of surprise. He did not need to show how much this small action had affected him mentally.

"Grandmaster, are you alright? I did not shock you speechless, right? You can still react to my presence."

Master Hana's voice was soft and light. It teased Keith and a pair of soft hands landed on his stomach. He did not understand very well what was going on. But he did understand that this was wrong and he needed to stop Master Hana.

"Master Hana, what do you think you are doing? I did not permit you to sneak into my tub like this."

Keith's heart was still hammering into his body fast. He could not believe what had just happened to him.

But Master Hana seemed unaffected by everything. Her eyes were filled with lust and other emotions Keith could not name or deal with right now.

"Grandmaster, you need to help me out. It is all your fault that I fell for your charms. Now you need to take responsibility for my heart."

Master Hana spoke with an almost shy voice. But her actions were bold and she even cupped Keith in places she should not be cupping him in.
