Everyone got to the lost empire safely. Violet was happy to see things going more smoothly than planned. The only problem was that there was nothing there. It was completely dry with not even a fruit in sight so they would have to starve a little longer.
Violet was still thinking about what to do in that situation when they heard a loud roar. It was unmistakable. Violet took out her weapons, ready for a fight.
She waited till it got close enough for her to see and shot it with a crossbow. She was about to celebrate when she saw the arrow dissolving. She was stunned for a few seconds but then threw knives.
Just as she thought things couldn't get worse it swung a tentical at Her. She managed to dodge but it ended up hitting the pillar keeping the empire elivated. Carlo, who was at the edge of the platform fell. He was ready to die when Violet saved him.
They found themselves on the dry lifeless ground. Violet came up with an idea and told Carlo.
They started running in different directions. The monster chased after them. Everytime one was in danger the other would attract it's attention. This went on for an hour.
After a while of fighting it ran out of acidic slime. Since she ran out of arrows Violet shot it with her gun.
Violet knelt from exhaustion after killing the anthrolphisis. She tried getting up but passed out.
Violet woke up to find herself in an unfimiliar place. The room seemed like that of royalty. She noticed that the clothes she was wearing were different. She looked to her side to see Carlo holding her hand.
Everyone came in to see Carlo pinned on the ground. They explained everything to Violet.
She was supprised. She didn't expect him to be a prince.
She didn't mind that and wanted to go to the dimension stone to get everyone home. Carlo tried stopping her since it would take a lot of her mana. Violet ignored him and went anyway.
After closing the rift Violet passed out there and then. Carlo carried Violet to the abandoned building so that she could go home.
The rift allowed them to go home and Carlo was dragged to another dimension. Violet's dimension. Due to exhaustion he passed out next to Violet on her bed.
