"Wait a moment…every team has only one room?!

Mathias seemed to be flabbergasted as he stopped in the doorframe while peering inside the large room that had five beds.

Two were placed on the left side of the room and three were on the other side, creating a small path in the middle for Nial to walk through.

Small wooden bedside cabinets were placed next to each bed, and rays of sunlight streamed through the large windows, lighting up the boring-looking room whose wallpaper was a plain grey.

Despite the lack of bright colors, Nial felt it was cozy as he sat down on the left side of the room where two beds were placed next to each other.

There were no wardrobes in the room, but that was not necessary because they had spatial rings, anyway.

His eyes spotted a tiny bathroom that was attached to their room.

For just the three of them, this place was way too big, which gave Nial the opportunity to question if they should just throw out the extra beds and bedside cabinets to change the interior of their room.

"Maybe a small place to workout, or to stretch in the morning would be great…"

He completely ignored Mathias\' worry and was unbothered to sleep with Bella in one room.

His mission in the Teradan military camp was not to find love, or have casual flings, but to become stronger and meet his parents as soon as possible.

Because of that, Nial nearly accepted the Old Medic\'s invitation to become her disciple.

It would help him tremendously, and if it was not for the fact that he didn\'t trust the dark energy, let alone the Odyssey seed that would act up randomly, he would immediately join her.

\'Once I am sure to be able to control myself even under the influence of the Odyssey seed, or the dark energy, I will think of joining her…\'

Unfortunately, for now, it was too dangerous to even consider releasing his dark energy.

And that also reminded him that he had to prevent the Odyssey seed from pulsating twice.

Otherwise, the dark energy would be generated and released by the Odyssey seed!

In a fight of life-and-death, this was not exactly easy to control, and Nial knew that he had to change many things.

\'I need to undergo more enlargings, and find a way to block off the influence of the thing that is within me!\'

The memories and pieces of information that flashed through his mind once in a while were not all that bad.

He was aware of their immense value.

However, the benefits didn\'t outweigh the disadvantage of possibly being possessed by whatever the Odyssey seed harbored.

Thus, he had far more pressing matters to pay attention to than complaining about sharing rooms.

"If you want, you can just change the interior of your room. That\'s possible." Captain Clara suddenly said.

She had heard the words Nial had mumbled, and Clara simply passed by Mathias and simply ignored him while entering the room as well.

They talked for a few minutes before Clara looked at her watch, and realized that it was already late.

Thus, she decided to leave because she had quite a few other tasks to complete.

And then there was the issue with the disappearance of the Guardians, indicating that the nameless island had become far more dangerous than it had been during the last few years.

This meant that the participants of the military camp were endangered.

If all of the young Originals were to die, it would be a horrifying loss for mankind because they would lose thousands of potential humans in the listed ranks.

All of them were future powerhouses that might be able to strengthen mankind\'s position amongst all other living beings in the world!

With that thought flashing through her mind, Clara rushed off, leaving behind the two Originals.

Meanwhile, Mathias could only stare at her with frustrated eyes as he mumbled,

"But sleeping in the same room with a woman??"

He was still unable to cope with the fact that he had to eat, sleep and pretty much share all of his time in the same room with Bella.

But when Nial heard his complaint once again, he sighed before saying,

"I really don\'t understand your problem, Mat. Normally a woman would feel more uncomfortable in such a situation.

If you want, just put on some curtains to divide the room in half. The room is big enough, isn\'t it?"

Though he had wanted to say more, Nial stopped himself and sensed that Mathias wanted to retort to him.

However, before his friend could say something, Nial lifted his hand to prevent Mathias from speaking.

"Don\'t bother about it, let\'s focus on discussing what we have learned so far instead. There are lots of things we have to do, and Captain Clara\'s intel will be really important for the next few weeks or months!"

Even if it was only reluctantly, Mathias nodded his head and plonked himself into the bed next to Nial\'s with a deep sigh.

"Alright, let\'s do it!" He said before they began to discuss the appearance of the military base, how they should use their finances acquired after selling the runic armaments, the beast controlling necklaces, the corpses of the beasts they hunted, and many more things.

Bella was currently missing, but once the two friends had completed their discussion, it would be easier to inform her about the rest, while asking about her opinion of the various plans they came up with.

Using the appearance of the base as a point to start with, they came to a consensus that the camp had been built in a huge cave of a mountain range.

There were multiple sources of light, originating from luminous stones that served as a replacement for ordinary street lamps.

But there was also a huge hole in the ceiling of the mountain.

With a shape similar to that of a volcano, Nial wondered if it was an extinguished volcano or not.

They also questioned how exactly they could sense an abundance of mana currents in the military camp, without seeing any dungeon portals.

This was weird, but Nial quickly noticed that most mana currents flowed through the base, leaving the cave through the hole in the ceiling.

Thus, he concluded that the deeper parts of the cave had numerous dungeon portals or other means to generate mana.

By the time they came up with a few plans, it was already late at night and Mathias went for a shower.

Once he finished, Mathias came out with some fresh clothes to wear feeling as if he was reborn, only for Nial to disappear in the bathroom as well.

He also showered in the small shower, rubbed off the dirt and grime off his skin, and put on fresh clothes to feel even more comfortable before he threw himself into the bed.

It was already late at night, yet Bella hadn\'t returned.

They were a bit worried about what was taking her so long which is why, instead of sleeping, Nial decided to wait for her.

Initially, both of them wanted to stay awake, but Mathias was so tired that he couldn\'t control his body anymore.

He simply closed his heavy eyelids and sunk into a deep slumber before even realizing it.

Nial could understand his friend\'s exhaustion because they hadn\'t been able to sleep much during the last two days, and the pressure on their minds during each battle had also been quite high.

Nonetheless, he didn\'t sleep and instead focused on circulating mana through his arms and shoulder.

\'Have I really…healed? That\'s crazy!\'

Not expecting the Old Medic\'s healing ability to be so powerful, Nial couldn\'t help but feel that the Old Medic was far more skilled and stronger than he had expected.

This made him change his outlook on mankind\'s strength.

\'If she is already that strong, there should be a few more Originals like her? But…if that\'s the case, why do we have only nine shelters left? Bella said that those are the most isolated ones as well…\'

Nial knew what this meant, and he didn\'t like it, at all.

If mankind was unable to construct another shelter in the wilderness, it indicated that the dungeon beasts that roamed in Jundra were stronger than even the strongest Originals of mankind.

This was bad, to put it simply, and Nial didn\'t feel like thinking about it for long.

Thinking about his own situation was not that great either because it made him recall everything about the Odyssey seed.

Because this bothered him even more, Nial shifted his focus to the Control of the Ancient Monarch manual.

Using his mana perception to focus on the manual, he began reading it once again.

In order to gain a thorough understanding of every single word in the manual, Nial was ready to read it for a month if required.

Being patient and reading carefully was important as it would allow him to perceive something deeper behind the words written within the technique.

It was something he had not sensed when he first read it.

However, the more he concentrated, the more he began to understand the deeper meaning behind what the words conveyed.

Thus, right now, he could sense something with his mana perception that was hidden before.

One could say that it was the core essence of the book, its most crucial information, and something that Nial shouldn\'t miss, by any means.

Because of that, he continued to read it for several hours and tried to greedily absorb the knowledge in its pages.

Meanwhile, while reading, Nial tested out the things he comprehended.

His control over mana was already exceptional, but that was only in terms of a newly awakened Original.

If he were to compare it with the control of those that had created their first Origin ring, he was just a toddler that was still taking his first baby steps and learning how to walk.

Ever since his mana core had been enlarged by the potent energy of the Titan heart, Nial could sense a change within him.

He was pretty sure that his mana core\'s limit had been extended.

At the same time, Nial understood that he was now able to create his first origin ring.

This astonished him a little bit, but Nial didn\'t even consider trying to materialize it.

After all, the more mana he could use for his first origin ring, the higher its efficiency, and potency were bound to become.

With that in mind, enlarging his mana core as much as possible would be best to achieve this!

Because of that, he was rather content with his progress.

First, he had to store lots of mana inside his mana core, before enlarging it a few more times.

This would take quite a while but as long as he worked relentlessly, it would be possible.

Thus, Nial calmly leaned against the wall of the room while continuing to read.

The higher his control over mana was, the faster he would be able to advance as well.

And it would additionally increase his combat prowess as he would quickly gain an upper hand when faced with tricky situations in a dangerous battle.

While thinking about the various possible future scenarios, Nial didn\'t even notice anything about the trouble that was brewing not only outside the safety of the military camp but within the walls of the camp\'s cave as well!

Nial knew that he was just witnessing the calm before the storm.

And this storm was bound to wreak havoc on the nameless island that would be known in the history of mankind as, Karatox, the island of blood and terror!

The sound of footsteps broke him out of his reading spell and he looked up from the book thinking that Bella had finally arrived.

And soon enough she barged into the room blurting something that shocked him to the core.

"The Guardians…are all dead and…the dungeons are undergoing a breakout!!"
