"Lillia can you stop being mysterious and just tell me what is different? Is she bigger than before?" Blake asked. He could see Lillia's teasing smile which kind of irked him when he was worried about Little White.
"Oh, she got bigger alright." Lillia grinned as she turned and began walking away. "Just wait a bit longer when her evolution is done, she will be much better than before. Trust me."
Blake could finally say he was kind of annoyed. He knew Lillia was hiding something, but she wouldn't say it! "Fine, I will just leave it as is."
That day Blake released information on how to condense mana in one's mana pool and how to use it to enhance one's strength. The people of Destiny City, since the last battle with the orcs, had all become more united than ever before.
It did not take long for those who had learned to do as instructed to open up free classes to everyone in the city. When it came to the strength of the city, no one dared to try to charge money for it. The stronger they are, the more likely they can ward off even more powerful enemies. This was the goal they were all now striving for.

As Blake and Destiny City were striving for something greater. Grace looked out her window to see a city being rebuilt from the ground up. "They are working so hard to rebuild what we once had. Each one of these people deserves praise. Humans shall not be looked down upon. We shall not allow ourselves to be defeated so easily. Once we all break through the binds of each level, we will become gods that can look down on the other races."
Grace had long entered her second evolution. Her magic had also grown many times stronger. Something in her blood was allowing her to be stronger than most humans when it came to magic. The amount of mana she held was hundreds of times more than the average person.
"Your Holiness, a report has just come in. The orc army that was heading west has been wiped out. The orc king fled. A strange demonic looking being had beaten the orc king back and also forced many orcs to submit to him. But the thing is, this being seems to be a ruler of a place filled with many races. Even humans…." A young woman in black clothes reported. She had her face covered, but one could tell there seemed to be a long scar over her right eye.
"A place for all races, huh? Sadly even if such a place exists, the one ruling the place is not human. There is no telling if this demon, as you called it, is not enslaving these people. For now, tell our people to keep an eye out and not get too close. We will just watch for the time being. If they are peaceful for the time being, we will let them be, as they also have humans among them.
"We will wait until we have grown our strength more before sending them a message and demanding the release of all humans. If they comply, then I do not mind giving them a small stretch of land to live on in this world, but we humans will reclaim our land. Even if it means wiping out all races." Grace seemed dead set on her ideals. It was as if her power had consumed the girl she once was, or maybe she had experienced things during the apocalypse that had made her this way. Whatever the case may be. The day she is reunited with the man she loves will one day come. Whether they will be enemies or foes is another story.
"I will pass down the order." The young woman in black clothes replied. She walked over to the window and jumped out. One would think she was crazy due to them being on the fifth floor of a high rise that was still under reconstruction, but to this young woman, such heights were nothing.
When she landed on the ground, she found herself in a dark back alley. She leaned against the cold brick wall behind her and sighed. "I wanted to tell her that that place is flourishing with more than here and the people are living happily, but her Holiness only wants mankind to rule this world again. But is this the proper way to go about things?"
She had heard many stories from her subordinates about that place, and none of them were bad. The people there lived freely, while here... She looked down the alley towards the streets where demi humans were chained at the neck, being used as slaves to haul materials. The city here was nothing more than human egoism. But she knew that if they were to get into a fight with humanoid dragons, that this city was done. Her Holiness might survive, but no one else would. The young woman sighed as she slipped into the darkness and disappeared.

"Hey Olia, are you sure this is the way?" Yiki called out. She felt like they were very lost at the moment!
"Mmm… It is here on the map." Olia held up the map and showed it to Yiki, whose expression did not look good. "Olia, the map is upside down!"
"Huh?" Olia looked at the map again, and her eyes went blank. She slowly spun the map around and said: "Ah…. Seems so…. Let's ummm. Go this way…."
"How can you only notice the map was the wrong way now!? We just traveled for almost a month!" Yiki wanted to cry. She wanted a proper bath. She was a princess. Why was she out here in the wild!? She had already put up with traveling this far once before, and that was hell. Now she was doing it again! She hoped this so called drakani was hot. At least then, she would have something to look forward to.
