Metatrin City was very quiet. The three kings had called upon the skeletons again, continuing to build the city. The mages were gathered in the temple to train. The swordsmen and sailors from Sregl Island had started training the barbarians and Cascausus people, letting them familiarize with the ship and combat at sea.

There were over eight-thousand barbarians gathered in Metatrin City and they were all strong. Those that did not have anything going for them were long captured by the Holy See.

The Cascausus people had found a suitable settling location at the south of the city, they had all moved out of the South garden. The only ones left there were the older elders and Sika's guards.

The barbarians that have been trained and the Cascausus people started patrolling the sea on two combat vessels, preventing the previous misfortune from happening again.

Under the ice layer at the port in the Pan's Turtle alchemical boat, Nailisi and the winged skeleton were fighting again.

”You damn skeleton, when are you going to tell me the coordinates of the demon dimension?!” Nailisi did not care about being womanly or godly. Her eyes shone a bright green as she stared viciously at the winged skeleton within the giant crystal.

”Maidservant, your claws and teeth are no threat to me. Instead of blowing your top here, why not go find what I need?”

”You imbecile, aren't you afraid that I will tell your secret to Master?”

”Don't you have many secrets yourself too? Go get working, do not disturb me while I'm training.” The winged skeleton stayed in the crystal, not in the least bit afraid that Nailisi would cause a stampede.

Unknowingly, he was already grade-7 and even if Saleen's contract did not exist, Nailisi would not be able to kill him in the ship. The entire alchemical boat had been processed by the winged skeleton into giant equipment and he was the core that controlled it.

In the ship, the winged skeleton had full control. No matter how strong Nailisi was, she could only hurt him if she destroyed the ship first.

”Those things that you want, god knows what places they are in!” Nailisi shouted angrily. The winged skeleton had not told her the coordinates of the demon dimension after so long and instead had commanded her to do countless things for him.

A demon was being tricked by a winged skeleton, how could she not be angry?

”Do not be anxious, maidservant, I have found another sunken ship. So long as you help me fish the things inside up, I will tell you the coordinates of the demon dimension.” The winged skeleton coaxed her patiently.

”As if! I have already fished up dozens of ships for you, you haven't even told me what you want. If there still isn't what you want, do I have to continue doing this?”

Nailisi was not angry because of anything else, but the sea water being too cold. Even though an imp would not freeze to death, Nailisi that had already gotten used to the Myers Mainland, she would much rather enjoy herself than help a skeleton in the deep sea. There was danger present everywhere in the dark sea.

The damn skeleton was afraid of meeting with danger and hence had left her in charge of all these menial tasks.

”Nailisi, I am splitting Master's burden. Now that he has so little manpower, he has to use the barbarians to power up the combat vessels. They can't even tie a knot properly, how can they be good sailors? I will form a team of skeletons to help Master fight.”

”Fight? Master is a mage, you must be crazy.”

'What do you know? In any dimension, the powerful will always have more resources, only then can that solidify their position. We need to take down more territories for Master, only then can he train in peace and be as strong as a god.”

”What are the gods?!” Nailisi thought back to the humans that had captured her way back and she shuddered. Up until now, she had not met anyone on the Myers Mainland that could even match up to a fraction of the humans then. Even the powerful oracle could only borrow the powers of the gods.

As for the humans that had captured her and a group of supreme demons back then, they had torn a hole in space to get to the demon dimension and to capture a large number of supreme demons back to the Myers Mainland. Even though she was not sure why these people were willing to service the Myers Goddess, she was very clear that the even the gods did not have the power to destroy dimensions. The gods did not dare do that.

The winged skeleton had gained intelligence because it had swallowed the memories of an unlucky mage. He did a little searching in the mage's memories and said empathetically, ”That's right, what are the gods? Since they aren't much, you should get to work now.”

”I'm not going unless you tell me what I'm supposed to be looking for.”

The winged skeleton was stunned, he had not expected Nailisi to be this adamant today. She definitely was not losing her temper. Nailisi said harshly, ”At most, I don't want a demon slave any longer, I can catch a human as a slave anyway. The thing you want must be more important than mine!”

”In theory that is true. Even without you, I can still get what I want slowly. You can only get the coordinates of the demon dimension from me, however.” The winged skeleton patiently coaxed Nailisi. Seeing that Nailisi was not falling for it, the winged skeleton could not do anything and said, ”I only want to build a skeleton army and I need a few leaders to replace me to take charge, if not I will still need to leave this ship.”

”Skeleton army? Don't be funny, I can kill thousands of those shabby bones alone.” Nailisi sneered.

”That's why I want to create some special skeletons. They cannot be summoned from the death dimension, but they need to be created directly on the Myers Mainland. Only then will they not be influenced by the rules of the dimension. They would be able to grow quickly and have intelligence.”
