Vol. 3 - Chapter 38

Ash

With the Lust demon out of the way, it was time to get to work. 

As the army of Onyx continued to make their preparations, Ash, Kaori, and Keiko all headed out during the afternoon to farm a few monsters so they could raise their levels to be even higher than they were now. After all, since Vermia and Ren wouldn't be in this fight, the weight on their shoulders was the heaviest it had ever been. 

"So," Ash said as they all walked through the forest that hugged the shrine. Keiko was moving beside her, holding a map. "What were the monsters again?" 

"In this area, we can find 'spiked boars', which are apparently like pigs but far larger and deadlier, some giant snakes called 'unholy pythons', and 'drakes', which are similar to dragons but generally weaker and smaller," Keiko answered. 

"Lovely," Ash muttered.
