After learning this, Elena did not immediately told Shu anything related to this war. Instead, Elena started to ask him about how his dungeon management was going. Hearing this question, Shu's eyes immediately became teary even though he was in a good mood just a few second ago.

Dungeon lords were unable to build just anything they wanted. So Shu had a limited amount of quota for things that he was able to create in this dungeon of his. The quota was actually quite generous but the pool of revival alone had eaten away most of his available quota and that was also the reason why this dungeon was so sad and empty.

There were ways for a dungeon lord to earn extra points which could be used to buy extra quota but for that the dungeon needed to have intruders. But as this dungeon was located in an area that no one knew about, Shu had no intruders and thus no ways to earn extra points.

This made Shu worried but at the same time, as his fellow race members could not go outside in the sun, this underwater cave was the only proper location to make the dungeon. Another reason why the Xecsises wanted to take over the city of Osiel was because they wanted to create the dungeon entrance there.

Now that Shu had told Elena about his troubles, Elena smiled gently at him and told him about an easy solution. That was to make a deal with the vampire queen of the city of Osiel and to start a partnership with her.

Elena gave Shu many ideas. He could allow the queen to train her troops in the dungeon. He could also supply the queen with unique items that only his dungeon could produce. And in exchange, the queen could provide him and his race with a home and protection.

Hearing this proposal, Shu was surprised but also very suspicious. All the knowledge that he had about the vampires came from the elders of his race and they had always told him that the vampires were arrogant, greedy and cruel. So Shu did not think that the vampire queen would agree to his proposal. He was sure that he would be turned into her servant instead.

Hearing this, before Elena could say anything, Raguel went into a his fanboy mode and started to enthusiastically tell Shu all about how great, kind, intelligent and powerful his queen was. Shu was a bit skeptical at first but with how much enthusiasm Raguel was showing, he started to believe him little by little.

Seeing this, Elena slightly smiled. This was the exact reason why she had brought Raguel with her. He was a high ranking member of the vampire race of the Osiel city and also a fanboy of vampire queen. So it made sense that he would be able to speak on behalf of the city and could even be able to make a simple deal with his authority as the supreme commander of the city.

...

After some time, Elena returned back to the city with Raguel, Shu and an army of Xecsis behind her. But this time, they were not here to attack the city. The vampires guarding the walls became super nervous after seeing the army of Xecsis who had been giving them a lot of trouble for quite some time, but with his authority, Raguel managed to calm them down. The Xecsises were also extremely obedient of Shu, so they also did not do anything untoward.

Just like that, Shu and the Vampire Goddess in the guise of Vampire Queen had a very fruitful discussion. What Raguel was telling about the queen was actually not false. She was truly a kind person. So by creating a relation of partnership with her, Shu was able to get way more benefits than what he was expecting. That was how the war between two night dwelling races came to a peaceful end.

Elena was also immediately given the last silver ring with a beautiful red gem attached to it. As soon as she got her hands on this ring, her surroundings broke like glasses and Elena immediately found herself in the hall of the temple. Her dream trial was over and she had successfully passed it with a very good score.

...

After Elena woke up from the dream, Escora immediately congratulated her for successfully passing the trial. The other elders present in the room also did the same. One of the elders also came to apologise to Elena with a shy look on his face. Seeing an old muscular geezer having the shy looks of a young teenage girl was definitely something that was hard to forget. He was the person who was responsible for designing the third trial.

After everyone was done congratulating her, they started to discuss when Elena would want to depart. After thinking about it a little, Elena decided that she would leave for Valhalla after a five days.

For those five days, she was going to have some fun with Escora and other giants. The depths of the Ikrovi Wasteland was a very large area and Elena had not managed to explore much of it. The giants also still had a few dishes that Elena had still not checked out. For all those reasons, Elena decided to postpone her journey for five days.

...

From the next day onward, Elena started to explore the Ikrovi Wasteland. Obviously Escora was with her as her partner. Surprisingly enough, Karthe, Giana and Nora were also with them. So this exploration turned out like a family trip for them. Elena was perfectly fine with this and enjoyed this a lot.

As for the exploration, it went extremely well. The amount of intersting monsters and beasts that could be found in this area was a lot and Elena was satisfied with it.

Among those, a few had managed to really interest Elena. A large snake was among them that could shade it's scales and all those scales could turned into it's avatar. This snake was also capable of changing it's position with any of the avatars. It was not a particularly strong monster but with its super good detection and life saving measures, this snake was extremely hard to hunt. One of the rarest hunt of this area.

There was also a tree that had managed to master a little bit of initial concept of fate. It was also the strongest being that Elena had seen in the depths of the Ikrovi Wasteland. It's level was 666. That was truly super impressive. But unfortunately this tree was completely unable to move even with the super high power level. The power of manipulating fate came to this tree because it was able to make this kind of sacrifice.

Other than the exploration, Elena also enjoyed the cooking of the giant royal family a lot. Overall, the remaining five days were extremely joyful for Elena. And soon the time for her departure to the Valhalla came.
