Nookie’s New Training Area

"If only her diabolical naming sense would improve..." Shye sighed as Zeth galloped across the fields outside Valenzia City.

After receiving Darky and Murky from Meido—names he chose not to change out of respect for the young blacksmith who had crafted such masterpieces—Shye promptly used a special return scroll to head back to Valenzia. 

From there, he and Nookie rode Zeth toward a desolate Death Zone far from any city.

He chose a location at least two and a half days from Valenzia City to reduce the risk of anyone hunting Nookie—or at least minimize the chances before the little Necrollin could amass a cataclysmic army of corpses as he planned to leave the imp alone to train for an entire year. 

With the Stygian Garuda and several other (S) ranked corpses under its control, Shye was confident that Nookie would become an unstoppable force once the war began.
