In the Morning Ace decides to skip the other dungeons and towns and just go home quickly. He activates his Lightning haste and Speeds along till he needs a rest. Travelling about 2 days worth in about 12 hours.
Resting in a Fishing town 2 weeks away from his home.
He goes fishing for a bit and sells a few of the larger fish and releasing the smaller ones.
___________________________________________________________________________
He uses Lightning Haste again once he is rested and manages to make it to another coastal town known for its beautiful beaches and surf worthy waves. Ace decides to spend a few days there learning how to surf and sun tanning. Ace finally relaxes and has some fun.
After a few days he heads off again making it to Seafall Town where the dungeon of The Swamp of Death is, About 5 days away from home.
Ace decides to head into the Dungeon, Finding himself yet again in a foot deep of thick mud and the stench of death. he summons Winfred and slowly makes his way forward. Eventually finding himself in the same cave the Swamp mole was before. He enters with Winfred.
The Giant mole monster appears again firing Ice spears and avoiding attacks but luckily since last time Ace has improved. Quickly Ace kills the mole and gathers 3 enhancement blessing shards and 1 element blessing shard.
Ace finds the portal to floor two opens up and enters.
Finding himself in a more lively forested swamp as the trees seam to close in onto Ace as the leaves look a deep green almost like the trees grew black leaves. The occasional giant lily pads growing at the water's surface. The smell of death disappearing from Ace's nose.
"Ding… Swamp Grove discovered"
Ace looks around the swamp and identifies a few monsters based on the aura being given off.
North of him seams to be a territory of something deadly as there is an aura of earth elements coming from there but nearly 1000 individual auras.
East and south of him are another monster that seams to be the lily pads as they are emitting an aura of Earth and Water.
West of him seams to be clear of any dangers.
Ace heads west in hopes of finding another relic or structure. After a few hours of travel he finds a old dead tree, with a glowing fruit on it. He walks towards it and grabs it. he identifies it finding it to be a Blessing Improvement berry. Ace remembers reading about these and they can improve a blessing by evolving it and reverting its Power Level allowing a person to keep a useful blessing and making it stronger. Ace puts it in his bag and uses his warp stone to leave the dungeon.
Appearing outside the dungeon, he gets an Inn to stay the night. Ready to go home.
In the morning he activates lightning haste and heads back home, once home he is welcomed by Sebastian and all of the towns people.

Sebastian invites him to his home and asks him to sit.
"So where is Avery?" Sebastian asks sincerely.
"He was caught in a trap and I couldn't save him" Ace says starting to tear up.
Sebastian hugs Ace comforting him "I see... No need to talk about it yet. How was the trip all together?" Sebastian Asks as he finishes hugging Ace.
"It was good except for the fact I nearly died i was fleeing a monster swarm as a new monster appeared and threw a giant boulder at me, sending me flying on impact and slamming into the ground. i was unconscious for 3 weeks in hospital before the water dragon came to see me and healed me. She then took me to her town and helped me recover. After that I explored multiple dungeons on the way. getting trapped in the elemental dungeon. managed to beat the wyvern to get out and now I'm hear." Ace explained in detail.
"I see. I heard that your competing in the 10 dragon competition in 5 years. The ten dragons have a meeting about that in a few months by the way." Sebastian says as he leaves.
