THE BREAKER OF SHIELDS
"Who the hell can get inside through this small hole", Iviar asked us.
"Maybe someone tried getting inside but was stopped when the guards came patrolling", Illiwyn told us her opinion.
"That must be it", I agreed with Illiwyn.
"I guess so since we couldn't find anybody else inside here. But I must improve the magic in these force fields", Iras said to us.
"Maybe you should", I said to him.
"Now, did you find anything useful in here?" Iras asked me.
"Well, you are probably right. I shouldn't look at the Body Augmenting magic skills. Maybe I should find something else to take from here as my reward", I told him.
"Just exchange your merit vouchers for Conjurer Stones", Epius said to me suddenly.
"Conjurer Stones? What are they?" I asked him.
"Conjurer Stones can improve the magic of conjurations", he replied to me.
"Great, can I exchange all my merit vouchers for Conjurer Stones?" I asked Iras.
"Well, you should have told me so earlier. That is a much better choice than learning Body Augmenting magic", he replied to me.
"Yeah", I replied to him.

When I returned home, Ratatouille suddenly came out to talk to me.
"What is the matter, Ratatouille?" I asked him.
"You better come into your soul realm", he replied to me.
So, I went into my soul realm to check what was the problem.
To my surprise, P-chan was inside here and he was restrained by a dozen Malevolent of the Dark Angel's soul.
"P-chan, why are you inside my soul realm?" I asked the pig.
"There were guards looking for me, so I came inside to hide", he told me.
"How did the pig get inside?" I asked Ratatouille.
"I really don't know. We could come inside because we have a bond with your soul when you created us as golems. We could find the magic portal to reach this place, but I don't know about the pig. Maybe he could find the portal to your soul realm and come inside", he explained to me his theory.
"Is that it? P-chan," I asked P-chan.
"Getting into someone's soul realm is not difficult. I went into your soul realm before, remember? when you were Orion", P-chan told me.
"Yes, that is true", I replied to him.
In my previous life, P-chan could easily find his way into my soul realm and hide in there. However, at that time, my soul realm was taken over by the Dark Angel. This time though, P-chan was stopped by the Malevolent of the Dark Angel.
Suddenly, the voice of the Dark Angel began to interrogate the pig.
"Pichana, the Breaker of Shields, why have you come here?" the voice of the Dark Angel asked P-chan to my surprise.
"Dark Angel, can you release the pig please? He is my friend", I asked Dark Angel.
Soon, P-chan was released from the Malevolent of the Dark Angel.
"I am Pichana but I don't know you", P-chan said to the Dark Angel.
"You have lost your memories but worry not, you will remember again", Dark Angel replied to P-chan before he sent the pig out of his realm.

"Who is this little cutie", Cassandra said when he picked up P-chan and started petting him.
Even Meera came over to look at the talking pig and petted him together with Cassandra.
"They seem to like the pig", Chash said to me.
"Girls and cute pigs what is there not to like", I replied to him.
"P-chan", suddenly a voice shouted out and P-chan quickly hid under Cassandra's arms.
"Why must you scold the cute pig and how do you know his name?" Cassandra asked Sara.
Sara was the one who shouted at P-chan when she came toward us, followed by Rinna.
"You damn pig, where the hell did you go? All I ask of you is go inside the bloody Conjurer Vault and you got lost for years", Sara said to P-chan.
"I got lost", P-chan replied to Sara.
"You are a stupid pig", Sara told P-chan.
"Don't scold him. He did what you asked of him. He went to the Conjurer Vault eventually", Rinna said to Sara about P-chan.
Sara and Rinna sent P-chan to look for the Tesseract of Flesh inside the Conjurer Vault some years back, but they had no news from him ever since.
"Where did you go all these years?" Rinna asked P-chan.
"I got lost inside a labyrinth", P-chan told us.
"A labyrinth? There is a labyrinth inside the Conjurer Court?" I asked P-chan.
"Yes, it is inside a secret basement. It took me a long time before I found my way out from the labyrinth, but I reached a prison", he told us.
"There is a secret prison inside the Conjurer Court?" I asked P-chan.
"Yes, it took me a long time before I found another way to escape the prison", P-chan told us.
"Well, at least you are safe now. Welcome home", Rinna said to P-chan.
"There are so many damn secrets inside the Conjurer Court", Sara said to us.
"Well, Sara since you are here, did you analyze all the magical constellations that we copied from the Conjurer Vault?" I asked her.
"Yes, I've compiled about three different Body Augmenting Skills and combined them into an optimized skill", she told me.
"Really, you combined and optimized the skills? What skill is that?" I asked her.
"I call it the 'Arcane Aegis', it's in the database", she replied to me.
"That is fantastic, I'll study the constellation later", I replied to her.
"While at it, I also optimized your 'Lance of Drakul' and 'Rails of Ikea' with the corresponding magic skills in the library", Sara told me.
"That is fantastic, thank you Sara", I thanked Sara.
"Thank Rinna, she insisted on me helping you. I wouldn't bother otherwise", Sara said to me.
"Thank you, Rinna", I thanked Rinna too.
"I knew you would want it", she replied to me.
"What about my deal?" P-chan asked me suddenly.
