.

This gains of Skill Rank was evident if someone would watch how exatly Luna was training at the moment.

She was flying with wings shaped out of Vital Mana, blood and shadows, both Mana and Blood Forged, with 5 weapons made the same way constantly swinging around her and changing shape while her two familiars were training themselves.

Vision was shaped as a humanoid mass of shadows, 1 meter tall, with a red outline and three shining red eyes while Warden was four-legged, 75 centimeters tall at the shoulders, around 1 and a half meter long and with a 1 meter long tail.

While she was praticing how to fly she was also shooting down her weapons, shattering the barriers that Warden was Casting while Vision was observing the two of them and praticing with another of the weapon Casted by Luna, constantly changing shape in its hand.

The Lunarian's eyes, all the while, were closed as she watched throught the eyes of her own Familiars alones.

One of Edgar's Ghoul was watching said training, more specifically the Ghoul that followed her in her battle against the Earth Drake five days prior.

And the progress of its temporary charge was without question from the previous her.

Without a doubt the beings in D-Rank equal to her would be few.

But with the new rules, they could certainly exist.

It nodded before calling out to Luna as Edgar comunicated throught it.

"The earliest boat will start in an hour so it's time to prepare."

Luna sighed before nodding to herself, her wings beat slowly, lowering her to the ground before all her Shapes and her Familiars were Dispelled before following the Ghoul back to the Mansion.

The island's port connected to the ports of four different countries: one in Astrar, three in both Midrar and Higrar, a grand total of five in Lowrar and four in Terrar, split in total between the two nearby landmassess of the eight major ones.

Her choice was one of the three in Midrar.

Specifically the highest one in Midrar and her ship will depart around 6:00.

Not that she would need a lot of time to prepare.

Already all that she would need was already given her in her new ring necklace and additionally she had no need for baths as she would not dirty nor would she sweat.

Neither was sleep a requirement for her, even if she sometimes did for her own enjoyment.

Once she returned to her room, she quickly changed before grabbing a Magical Item shaped like a mantle that she clad herself in, with the intention not of hiding her presence, thing that would not be possible considering her own Vital Mana and her lacking ability in hiding in the first place.

No, the mantle had a simple effect, that of suppressing her impression on others.

"A work of art, right? I made it using a Unique Skill of one of my Ghouls as inspiration. Like the other Magical Items I gave you. That you are not wearing. Nor do you plan to either…"

A sigh escaped him at that, thing she must have found fun as she laughted at that, a small smile on her face.

Not that her eyes showed any amusement in it.

"You are terrible at showing emotion. Even with all the training we did for it."

"I don't know what you are talking about. I think I am great at it."

Another sigh escaped him as he waved her goodbye.

Wave she reciprocate as this will be the last time they would meet in this life as he would probably die within the month.

Finally after hours of waiting, hidden by the Magical Item, she sneak in one of their free rooms, fact that was quite easy considering that not even half of the rooms were occupied in said boat, as she prepared for her long voyage, starting to meditate on her previous self, after all she should train as much as possible and only within her body is she hidden.

It was swimming.

It was hunting.

Large wooden vessels had a lot of prey.

It found a boat.

It stopped.

Upon it stood the Moon.

It recently recieved its Blessing as it become C-Rank, gaining greater feeling.

It would spare that vessel this time as thanks to the Moon.

It continued to swim hunting for another one.

7/21 8:51 (Summer, Day)

"Are you still pouting."

"I'm not pouting, witch. I'm just waiting."

"Are you still mad that we didn't start to travel immeditially? Must I remember you that the reason we are late is because the mission was longer than predicted because of the change in the Rules of the world?"

"I don't need your consolation."

"Ah yes, right, you are not pouting. You are just gloomly watching the horizon to seek land while holding a photo. Silly me."

"Shut up."

"No."

A grumble escaped the red-haired beautiful Half-Elf, wearing a ranger's attire and an ornate bow.

The winner of this exchange wearing a smug grin was a witch specialized in the Water Attribute and she felt right at home in the boat, even if she was only C-Rank and the other was B-Rank.

From the back, a black-haired Human swordsman was watching the exchange, a shepish expression on his face as he was talking with the vice-captain.

"I'm sorry for the unprofessional way in which my team is acting."

"Don't worry. With 2 B-Rank and 3 C-Rank adventurers, a little bit of that is no worry. Especially considering that the cost of the escort is just the travel."

"I thank you for your generosity."

"No need to be so humble, boy. The fact that you are B-Rank at your age is worthy of merit. Well, I will join my captain. If you have any question…"

"I will ask for you, don't worry."

At his nod, the vice-captain left with a smile on his face while a short Dwarf joined him also watching the two other members of their team.

"So, how is she doing?" She indicated towards the red-head, near the brown-haired witch.

"Well, soon she should feel better. You know how it is with her."

"The fact that she is an unstable… How did you call her that one time? Ah, yes, an unstable obsessive siscon yandere."

"Please don't call her that. However, this should be the last of that Vampire's safe houses."

"Well, yeah. The sooner we find her, the better."

At that the fifth member of their team joined them to watch Marine continue to annoy and act smug at Azure, a soft smile on his face like he was watching two children play.

"Your previous world certantly was useful to make interesting comments on other people." He half complimented and half reprimanded both of them.

"You know how it is…"

"I know. But she certaintly made a lot of progress from before."

"I know right. Now she just threatens to shot someone first instead of shoting them and then threatening them."

At the deadpan delivery of the Dwarf, both the Human and the Elf could do nothing more than softly laught at this true fact.

"Well, you know. Everyone has their own flaws. But she did reach B-Rank first in this team and I have the advantage of both early training and the memories of my past life to support me ."

"Fine. However-"

Before she could finish the phrase, the Half-Elf interrupted them.

"Enemy incoming! It is underwater!"

At the advise the whole team focused instantly without any hesitation nor fear preparing to the fight.

The water was still, there was no trace of movement nor any Monster was visible yet none of them doubted its esistance.

A couple minutes later, it emerged.

It was a light blue C-Rank Water Drake, shaped like an aquatic snake and with vivid red eyes watching its prospective meal and instantly attacking by releasing a mass of water at high speed towards them.

The Elf, Klevel, didn't hesitate conjuring a shining golden Magical Circle before the blast to block it while at the same Marine stepped in controlling the water around them, Shaping them like blades and sending them against the Drake scoring some light scratches on it.

Meanwhile, none of the other hesitated.

Evan took his blade that, once it recognized as a target the Drake, started to emic electricity swinging it, releasing a wave of electricity towards it while the Dwarf, Fora, took position between Klevel and Marine, ready to defend either of them at a moment notice.

Upon seeing the element the sword released, Azure nocked an arrow, locked as the Target, throught her own Unique Arma, the Drake and shot it high in the sky.

Upon it, electricity condensed before a lightning bolt fall.

It was able to dodge at the last second however said bolt twisted in mid air, following it and striking its barrier, destroying it.

Before it could react it found itself bound as the water around it formed chains to stop it.

However it roared, the chains shattering uselessy if not for both Evan and Azure to attack in the brief moment it was stopped, an arrow composed of electricity impacting its barrier and destroying it again while it hastily dodged a blade made of lightning.

This assault seemed to be over only for the first arrow the red-head shot at the start to fall on it, piercing throught its scale and damaging it as it roared in pain, the water starting to push the boat away from the naval route.

The only people remaining on the bridge of the boat were the Iriblades as all other people already retreated, protected by the barrier common in boats.

Additionally the crew members were already in their battle position, to power the barrier and ready to support the B-Ranked Party as much as possible as its power in this place was equivalent to B-Rank.

The cannons of the ship fired against the Drake that was able to dodge them.

However, this opened it to an attack from both Evan and Azure, one slashing and the other piercing it with an arrow, dealing heavy damage before its Vital Energy repaired the damage.

"Let's see if I can't help. Blessing of Existence."

The Cleric Casted an Holy Attribute Spell to Enhance another person only for his staff to take it in and Casting said Spell on all of his Team enhancing all of them, instead.

Marine concentrated on the enhancement before Casting a Spell in return, thanks to Klevel's Unique Arma's special ability.

"Life Link: Protection of the Blue."

By using the Blessing as the target for the Spell, she Casted on all those affected by the Spell.

A slight layer of water was surronding them to protect and heal them.

She wasn't the only one to do such as the rest of her team followed suit.

"Life Link: Burning Mantle."

"Life Link: Spirit's Blessings."

"Life Link: Attribute Enhancement."

The three Spells were activated, an aura of flames forming around all of them to further weaken all incoming damage from the Water Attribute while they were enhanced further both Spirit's Blessings and Attribute Enhancement, derived from Azure's Innate Skill, "Blessing of the Spirits", and from Evan's Unique Skill, "Attribute Amplification", both of them intensifying the previous boosts.

In response the Water Drake roared furiously with its mouth already capable to devour a person whole, its Mana and Vital Energy being converted in pure destructive power as it roared, a multicolored aura around it forming an even bigger version of it, its power increasing sharply as the sea battered even more against the 25 meters long boat.

The two groups prepared to return to fighting, this time with much greater strength than their first round.
