Arthur and his summons left the dungeon and arrived in the outside world.

Glancing around, he noticed it was morning already.

He took a brief moment to study his surroundings before turning to Titan and Nephis.

Catching the cue, Nephis walked up to Arthur and gently placed her hand on his shoulder.

Arthur grinned, and before she could realize what was happening, he swooped her off her feet and carried her bridal style.

Nephis was dumbfounded, her eyes widening in pure shock.

Before Arthur could catch a proper glimpse of her flawless face, the veil slipped down, covering it lightly and obscuring it from his line of sight.

All he could see were her fresh, rosy lips and pink cheeks, and it made him want to lean in and kiss her without a shred of hesitation.

However, he managed to restrain himself.

Turning to Titan, he gave a small nod. The space around him rippled, and in the next instant, he vanished.

Titan's golden eyes held no emotion as he disappeared as well, heading off in the direction of Aella and Jason.

Within Arthur's mind, the surrounding space appeared like a vast map he could move through freely at any moment.

He guessed this was the effect of the space element itself, manifesting now that he was actively using it for teleportation.

…

Aella and Jason were chatting while waiting for Arthur.

Unable to hold himself back any longer, Jason asked,

"How long do you think they'll stay before they come back?"

Aella pondered for a moment before replying,

"The big guy is a space elementalist, so it should take them about an hour more."

"To think we have to wait for so long all because he wants to show off." Jason clicked his tongue in annoyance.

Aella was just about to respond when the space beside them rippled slightly, followed by a figure materializing directly in their line of sight.

The muscular youth with a bald head carried an air of quiet superiority as he stared at them.

Their gazes then fell on the lady leaning against him like melted candy in his grasp.

A few moments later, Titan appeared as well, causing both of them to freeze as realization finally dawned.

"You… you're now a space elementalist?" Jason's eyes widened like saucers as he stared at Arthur in disbelief.

How exactly did this even happen?

His mind spiraled into a whirlwind of confusion as he kept staring at Arthur, waiting for an explanation.

Aella's eyes flickered subtly as she studied Arthur, and no one could tell what was going through her mind.

Still, from time to time, her gaze drifted toward Arthur's strong, broad shoulders as he held Nephis as if she weighed absolutely nothing.

"Something like that." Arthur replied with a shrug, gently setting Nephis down beside him as he grinned.

"Something like that?" Jason felt like puking blood from sheer speechlessness.

Staring at Arthur, his thoughts were filled with disbelief and confusion.

Could someone really just go out and obtain a new elemental power like it was nothing?

Recalling fragments of what he had read back home about heaven-defying potions that could sometimes drop, an unsettling feeling formed in his chest.

Perhaps Arthur had stumbled upon one of those heaven-defying potions during his venture, allowing him to awaken a brand new element tied to the elementalist class.

Jason's eyes flickered with contemplation as he stared intently at Arthur for a few seconds before finally giving up, albeit reluctantly.

Unable to come up with a satisfying answer, he could only raise his guard.

If his guess was right, Arthur was now the strongest among them.

Truthfully, he had suspected that for a while already, though he never wanted to admit it. Before, it wasn't solely Arthur's raw strength that made him dangerous. But now, with the awakening of this new element, Arthur's movements and options could become completely unpredictable.

"Shall we?" Arthur glanced at Jason and Aella with a small smirk tugging at his lips.

Jason's lips twitched repeatedly, while Aella laughed softly and replied,

"Yes. With everything done here, it's time we head to the wasteland without delay. We should take advantage of the daylight to ensure we arrive on time and find a suitable place to hide for the night."

Hearing her words, the other two nodded.

Arthur glanced toward Titan with an apologetic expression. Before the dragon knight could even react, Arthur unsummoned it.

Nephis was about to blend into his shadows when he waved his hand dismissively.

"Come, ride with me."

Hearing his shameless words, Aella raised a brow in mild surprise, while Jason's eyelids twitched once more.

'Lucky bald bastard!!' Jason clicked his tongue internally.

Nephis' eyes lit up instantly as excitement spread across her face.

Arthur led her to the nearby horse and helped her up before mounting behind her.

She grasped the reins and tugged on them lightly. At the same time, Arthur wrapped his arms firmly around her waist.

It felt silky smooth and slender, almost like cotton, and the softness caused a tent to form in Arthur's pants, pressing gently against Nephis.

Nephis' eyes widened slightly as she felt something prickling her from behind.

It twitched repeatedly, making it hard for her to focus.

Now that she understood exactly what it was, she hesitated, unsure of how to react.

Turning her head slightly, she glanced back at Arthur hesitantly. He simply smiled at her calmly.

"Don't worry about that for now. It has a mind of its own and will calm down at the appropriate time," Arthur whispered, causing her face to flush faintly without her fully understanding why.

Even so, Arthur internally doubted the truth of his own words.

With Nephis sitting right in front of him, he had a feeling his boner was going to last for a really long time.

"We're about to face unprecedented danger while some of you are busy having fun…" Jason muttered, clicking his tongue as he climbed onto his own horse.

Aella mounted hers as well, opening the map before gently pulling on the reins to guide her horse in a specific direction.

The two behind her followed her lead, gradually picking up their pace.

Noticing Nephis tremble slightly due to it being her first time riding a horse, Arthur glanced at her flawless neck. He pulled her a little closer and tightened his grip to help her feel steadier.

Yes, he was only doing it for her benefit!

Arthur reassured himself internally as the ride continued in silence.

Along the way, they passed through another forest, one that was only slightly less dangerous than the previous one.

Fortunately, with all the hazardous areas clearly marked on the map, they managed to avoid most of the danger without needing to fight much.

Eventually, they emerged into a vast desert, the heavy sun beating down on their heads and filling their expressions with exhaustion and thirst.

Internally, Arthur couldn't help praying for them to leave the desert zone quickly. After all, he was suffering the most.

His bald head reflected the sunlight mercilessly, and the heat burned against his exposed skin.

With a groan of frustration, Arthur reached forward and held Nephis' hand, pulling on the reins a little harder.

The horse attempted to increase its speed but failed, a clear sign it had reached its limit.

Even so, the trio continued onward, and before long, they noticed a group of people gathered ahead.

Some of them appeared to be merchants, and worry was etched clearly across their faces.

After deliberating for a few seconds, the group decided to approach them.

Perhaps it was something extremely important that they couldn't afford to ignore.

Another reason they chose to head over was the suspicion that it might be connected to whoever was summoning the dungeons.
