After Ben shows Dominic how 'depressed' Chris is, he invited him into the house to have a cup of drink while having another brief talk.
"Really? But are you sure about that? Right now, the Shadow Punisher is the main defense for Quill Town, dispatching half of the squad for us will greatly reduce your town's defense." said Ben as Dominic stated his intention to dispatch half of his Shadow Punisher squad for the Secret Base since it's very obvious that they are out of man power right now as Sky, Maria, and Ai have departed to Null Dimension.
"Yes, I am very certain about this decision. I have been accepting help from you all during that downfall period of my town, it wouldn't be right if I just pretend to see nothing when you people are facing some serious crisis. Furthermore, the Shadow Punisher squad had grown quite a lot these few days thanks to Maria's 'walk-in' recruitment strategy, so, there's nothing to worry about our town's defense for now." said Dominic, trying to convince Ben to accept his help offers.
"I see. I shall accept and appreciate your kindness, that will be a great help for us right now." said Ben as he poured a cup of herbal tea for Dominic.
"Thanks for the tea. Oh! And here's the map you had been asking for, it shows the location and structure of the kingdom that send me the daggers in the past, I don't know if it is still relevant now since many years have passed and that kingdom doesn't even exist anymore." said Dominic as he passed a new copy of a map.
"It's alright, we will be able to sort things out by ourselves. We are grateful for your help." said Ben as he accepted that map...

On the field, Chris is now lying on the grassy field while all of the miniature griffins are snuggling with him. After a short while, Junior walked into the field with a big trolley of freshly cooked meat mixed with eggs and fish. All the griffins rushed to Junior as he poured the meat mixture into twenty cleaned huge feeding bowls.
"Seriously, these griffins eat better food than people." said Chris as he specifically took a separate bowl of food for Ciao, that injured female griffin.
"Well, they need a well-balanced diet to maintain their health and energy after all." said Junior as he sat at Chris's side after he confirmed all the griffins got their food.
"Yeah... And luckily they are in this miniature size right now, if not it will be much harder to feed all of them. Even the food is specifically processed by Jason so that even with this portion, it is sufficient enough to keep them healthy and strong even at their actual size." said Chris as he lie back onto the glassy field.
"Mhmm... I seriously never thought that it is possible to process food just like Mr. Jason did, I guess I still have a lot more to learn." said Junior.
"Although it's a good thing to gain some extra knowledge, but don't you think it is a bit too tedious trying to excel in everything?" said Chris.
"Well, you are right, I guess I will just focus on machine and stuff." said Junior, in a casual tone.
"Anyway... Are you really sure about what you told me earlier?" Chris asked.
Junior nodded.
"I see... Let's start crafting your weapon after this, I guess... Hmm? I just received a message from Sky." said Chris as he flipped out his phone.
"Hmm... Permission to temporarily lift the magic press in Null Dimension... I wondered what he is planning to do? Seriously, at least let me know about the situation there. Oh well! I believe he knows what he is doing." Chris murmured as he shrugged...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Null Dimension.
"Uhm... Darling, why would you want Chris-chan to lift the magic press in Null Dimension? Wouldn't it expose this Null Dimension to all the potential dangers?" Maria asked, kind of confused and concerned.
"Well, you heard from Terrence just now, he said that the physical dimensional block had been mysteriously put up ten hours ago, with such a powerful physical dimensional block, it would take less than a day for a higher entity with lower magic level and weaker core on this Null Dimension to totally lost their magic, we are running out of time. So... I was thinking to use some tricks to give us more time to get the whole situation in control." said Sky. "Uhm... Trick?" Maria is as confused as always.
"Look, I am able to temporarily change the time perception of Null Dimension to the same as Kapis Dimension through a special curse magic of mine, with that special time perception of Kapis, we will have more than two weeks time before those higher entities lost their magic, but in order to not affect those normal people in Null Dimension, I'll have to put everyone asleep, and forcibly deactivate most of the moving vehicles and machines in order to avoid any unnecessary accident." said Sky, briefly explaining his plans to Maria.
"Heh? But that will be a very tedious job, especially under this heavy magic press." said Maria.
"Well, that's why I needed Chris to temporarily lifting the magic press for me... Ah... There we go, it surely takes him quite a while for the preparation." said Sky as he felt the subtle atmosphere change.
"Alright! I haven't done this for quite a long time, I need to stay focused." said Sky as he took a breath and took out a small pocket knife...

*Something out of the story
Sky: "Dear readers."
Chris: "Hmm?"
Sky: "This chapter is meant to be released for webnovel.com."
Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might cause the writer to stop writing."
