The fishermen were happy to see me. They were afraid that I had died because I never returned. I shared the ugly fish with them. They told me that they left my share behind at the Adventurer’s Association because they discovered that I was an adventurer. We had a feast and the ugly fish became the old man''s new favorite fish. They kept asking me what I''d been up to but I couldn''t tell them much because the majority would be impossible to do as a human.


    I spent 2 more days in Gavin and then headed north. I could go full speed but I had more than enough time. I would run out of time if I walked the whole way though. I spotted some assassins that were still looking for us or Sylvana and I got rid of them. Got harassed by some bandits here and there. Had to do errands in exchange for hospitality. I got tired of this after 10 days of trying to travel like a normal human and just ran at Mach 2 and returned to the jungle. I fixed up my hideout and relaxed.


    Finally, home! I slacked off for the rest of the day and decided to visit Vinny the next morning.


    The hollow tree was as unguarded as ever as I easily sneaked in. The jungle dragons surely are careless. Then again who would sneak into a dragon lair? You’d either have balls of steel or you’re Nymph Queen or Billy tier stupid. I sneaked into Vinny’s lair.


    Guess who’s back… I should have knocked. Vinny was pounding his girlfriend. Right, I’ll be outside if you need me…


    “Whoa, Agnis! You''re back! Wait give me a second to finish.” Just… take your time… I wish I never saw that… I waited for 10 minutes and the 2 came out of Vinny’s lair. They didn''t seem to have minded me catching in the act.


    “I can''t believe it! You''re still alive!” You really thought I would kick the bucket, eh?


    “Ok then tell me how many lives you have left!” Anyways! What have you been doing all this time? He gestured to his girlfriend. Inappropriate but fair.


    “I’m more interested in what you have been up to!” I told him about my adventures and specifically about the time capsule. I think you really should visit that place; it isn''t made for dragon size though so you might want to work on your human form.


    “Hmm, that is very interesting indeed. It is worth a look; it is very far though. I’m a bit scared to leave the jungle.” Come on it''s not that bad outside the jungle look! I’m still fine!


    “I don’t have multiple lives as you do though.” Well, but you also don''t die as easily as I do.


    “True, but well my human form needs a lot of work.” Alright, show me!


    “Are you crazy? Not here! Let''s go where nobody can see us!” Is it that embarrassing?


    “I’m going to hang out with Agnis, I will be back ehh, you never know with him but I’ll let you know when I’m back!” His girlfriend went to socialize while we headed into the jungle.


    Alright, show me!


    “Ok here it goes! What do you think?” Vinny showed off his ''Human'' form which was humanlike but all green and with a dragon head. Nobody would be fooled by his ''Human'' form.


    Ehh, very cool, you''re not fooling any human with that though. Keep practicing. Want to see my human form?


    “It’s not that different than how you look now…” Am I not great?!


    Vinny turned back into a full dragon. Anyways that form is enough to enter the time capsule so as long as you don''t stop in any human settlements you should be fine but well… it''s far and I don''t think you can fly there in one go.


    “I will visit when I get better at mastering it!” Vinny said as he collected fruits and plants.  Right, and don''t forget to take care of the blue ghost truffles.


    “Yeah, at least we know there''s at least hope. I will also try to visit Sylvana when I master my human form.” Look at this dragon being all responsible and stuff!


    “So, you just need to master lightning and find places with these primal runes? After our adventure in that dungeon, we became more aware of them and we might have found another dungeon.” Ooh, show me! I hopped on Vinny’s back and he brought me to the location. It was already half dugout.


    Hmm, this is not a dungeon but it''s not functionally different from one. Go my green scaled digging machine!


    “Ugh, I wish you’d at least picked up a bit of earth Dragonvein!” Vinny dug out the ancient building. “How do we open it?” It''s already open. The door opened and I looked at Vinny who was too big and smirked.


    “Ugh, really?!” He changed into his not-so-human form and we stepped inside. “Whoa, what is this?” No clue but I have seen something similar at least there''s no extremely dangerous item sealed here only a person.


    Vinny looked around. There was nothing to see. “Huh, what? Where?” The text on the wall says so. I appreciate that it also has the primal language. Time to study!


    “Wait what about the person who’s sealed away here?” If he has been sealed here for many years, he can wait a couple of hours maybe several days.


    “I guess, is the person dangerous?” Vinny said as he inspected teh writings on the wall.  Hmm, seems so. This place is supposed to have a barrier but it must have failed. Judging by what’s described the barrier wasn''t strong anyways.


    “Maybe we should leave this alone…” Where is your sense of adventure?!


    “I’d rather try to stay alive, I have a girlfriend now, maybe you should get one too!” Hmm, adventuring with 2 has a lot of benefits yeah.


    “No, I don’t mean that! Maybe that will make you more careful” Vinny said while crossing his muscular arms. I doubt that. So, the good part of this place is that the text is written on 2 types of materials.


    “And that''s interesting because?” I explained Vinny some of the mechanics of this pain-in-the-ass language. “I see, can''t you just brute force different variations of the runes on different types of material to find out in what forms it comes? I’m sure your tails could work this out relatively fast.” Hmm, that is a good idea, I will put them to work. Vinny and I spent the whole day in this place. I managed to get more knowledge of the primal language.


    Alright, now that I got everything let''s see who’s sealed here.


    “Is that even a good idea? And there''s only this room, right? I don''t see anyone here." Well, I don''t see him either but I do see that there''s something shady here in the middle probably an invisibility spell, back up a bit. This is going to be fun! What types of seals do you have under this invisibility spell? It took me 3 minutes to crack this, it helps that I have experience and affinity for this. The invisibility lifted and we were looking at a strange yet familiar pink barrier.


    This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.


    You gotta be kidding me! This bitch again? I’m totally setting this person free!


    “Huh? What? You know who’s sealed here?” No, but I recognize this handiwork, seriously can she just stay up there and leave people down here alone? I tried to find out what the easiest condition was to lift this barrier. ''Be a god…'' I guess I’m going to go for the hard route. I opened up the runic structure of the barrier and started to slowly dispel the barrier.


    Vinny looked over my shoulder. “Uhh, this looks complicated, can I help?” Can you keep a lookout? If you detect divine activity, run and pretend you don''t know me.


    “Uhm why would I do that?” The person who put down this barrier is a deity and I might have messed with her work before, if she finds me, I’m toast so you should escape and pretend to be an innocent bystander.


    Vinny sighed. “I will try to keep her busy as long as possible, there must be a reason why a god sealed this person, maybe he can help if you can manage to break all the seals.” Just a warning the goddess only needs to sneeze and you''ll become her next purse.


    “I am well aware that I’m outmatched.” Vinny went to the doorway and sat down.


    This barrier was strong but lazily constructed. Probably expecting that nobody would attempt to break it like this. After a day I broke the barrier and got met with a light elemental seal the easy requirement to break it was to have died at least once. Easy. I suppose this is to counter the requirement of being a god of the previous one. Next seal, the requirement is to be more beautiful than the caster. What a narcissist, I guess the hard route it is again.


    This stupid seal took me almost 4 days to break. Why is this one so strong? The next one was another weird barrier. The requirement is that it needs abyss or frost magic to open it. I remember that she was responsible for wiping out anyone who could use this so it is a very good condition. Unfortunately for her, she let some slip. I really started to wonder who was sealed in here. The barrier lifted and I could see who was sealed. I took a step back. Whoa.


    “What’s up? Whoa?! Another one?” A woman was sealed away, there were 3 more seals but some things stuck out like a sore thumb. She had blue ears, long pink hair, and 9 tails. Well, this explains a lot… if you can''t beat them just seal them away…


    “This is good news, right?!” For my race yes, for us 2 individually it’s bad. Vinny go home.


    “Huh why?” Vinny said, visibly confused. There is a big chance she will unconsciously create an enormous mana wave when she gets freed from her seal. I think there is a very small chance that the goddess that sealed her will miss it. I will try to keep it controlled but there is a chance we might die here if this 9t doesn''t wake up on time.


    “Is there nothing you can do?’ I’ll do my best but I’m just a brat, I don''t think I can hide from a god when this chick sets up a huge flare.


    “I... I will stay!” Didn''t you say you had a girlfriend? Don''t waste your life here, the dragons need you!


    “But!” Go!


    “I… I will call for everyone to help out! Hang on!” Vinny turned into his dragon form and flew off.


    The next seals weren''t that hard to break. I broke 2 and looked at the last seal.


    Ha! Needs a male 9t. This sadistic bitch. There are only 5 of us, did she want this chick to be sealed here forever? I started [Elgard Overload] the moment I broke the seal. An enormous mana wave burst out and the 9t chick was freed. I picked her up, light as me. I used [Elgard Overload] to hide us and make it seem as if nothing happened to this seal. I walked out of the dungeon and the sky glowed gold. A figure that I have seen before and never wanted to see appeared. She had a lot of golden stuff around her. As if she had her own world she lived in


    “Where is that bitch?!” She looked inside the place where this 9t chick was sealed. I tried to keep the illusions up while trying to slowly move away. I had to get her to get away within the next 7 minutes else we’re toast.


    “It should be impossible for this seal to break! Nobody would be able to break my masterpiece!” She went inside with all her golden shit. I got into the window where my technique was the strongest. And I ran away. I heard her say something about that nothing seemed to be wrong. Does this crazy bitch always talk to herself? She probably thinks she’s the most important being on the planet. The 9t chick was still unconscious.


    This is bad. I’m halfway and I don’t think that bitch is gone yet. I saw a group of jungle dragons flying over. I sent some illusions to them telling them to pretend to be patrolling. The thing is I couldn''t feel how strong that bitch was and that means 2 things. She either is super weak, which I hardly doubt. Or she''s extremely strong, more likely.


    [Elgard Overload] is probably the only skill I possess that can deal with a goddess at this point. The dragons listened. I jumped up because a very strong light wave traveled through the jungle. Something tells me she’s not buying it. I got my tails running and used [Tail Dynamo]. I would love to use my [dimensional teleport] but my eyes are occupied. I pushed off the ground and dashed south.


    Something golden was following me. I was getting close to the last window of where [Elgard Overload] was the strongest. I used [Transform] and turned into a chick because if she finds out I’m a guy 9t I’m extra screwed. She caught up the moment my second window came up. I created Yuna and she assaulted the bitch to almost get defeated moments later. I threw Vinny’s stepfather at her and he got defeated faster than Yuna.


    “Come here little furball!” I sped up and my body was filled with orange lightning. I threw a last attack at her while I rewrote reality to make the 9t chicks body temporarily act like it was made out of marble and wrote the primal rune of ''Awaken’ on her.


    Jagrisc The rune glowed and my [Elgard Overload] dropped and the illusion layers folded back in themselves.


    “Ugh, that stupid skill [Elgard Overload] At least you’re useless now!” The primal rune had its effect because the 9t chick woke up and blocked the [Light wave] that was about to one-shot me. Ugh, way too close for comfort.


    All my skills dropped but the 9t chick picked me up and teleported us out of the next attack. “Are you the one who freed me and woke me up?” Yeah, I hope it was worth it…


    She looked at me with blue green eyes. “That is one messy [Transform] but I can see why you did so.” Is anything wrong with my [transform]?


    “Well, it’s enough to fool humans and probably this dumb bitch so I guess you pass, but there are still men left of our race, I’m relieved. The name is Norya, Norya Mikazuki.” Ahh, that makes sense, My name is Agnis Hourai, and I met your friend Shidar Fishfingers, I’d like to give you your tail ring but I’m quite useless at the moment.


    “Ooh, Shidar! Is he still alive?!” I nodded.


    “Hey, bitch stop ignoring me! And you blonde bitch! How did you break her out?!” The goddes ssaid while throwing light based skills around.


    Norya kept making dimensional portals to make the bitch goddess attacks useless. This seems quite high level, I don''t think I can do this yet. I used some spit and elbow grease.


    Norya laughed and the goddess became even angrier. So, there is a tomato goddess?


    “Hahaha! Tomato goddess because her face is so red! I like that one! It''s funnier than Massive Bitch goddess!” Norya said whole creating an enormous pink lotus which blocked a laser.


    “Ugh, all you 9 tailed furballs are all the same, so annoying! I will kill you this time! Be obedient savages and become part of my coat, I was needing for some extra fur.”


    “Hey, you used [Elgard Overload] to save me, right? How long till you can use your eyes again?" Uh, 68 minutes.


    “Ok, I’m going to mess with time so you can use it now, I’m going to link my vision with yours and force collaboration magic. Do you know how to use [Temporal Severance]?” Nope, no clue.


    “How old are you actually?” Turned 1, 7 human years ago.


    Norya almost fell. “Wait, you’re just a baby? What are you doing getting yourself into trouble like is?” No clue, I’d like to know that myself too.


    “This might put a toll on you but 18 tails are better than 9.” My eyes got restored and Norya linked her vision with mine. I saw so many filters I had no clue what was going on. It did guide me on how to start up the collaboration magic though. It was quite complicated but not as complicated as calculating the trajectory and behavior of the leyline currents.


    “That was quite fast… I guess life hasn''t been kind to you… Right, how this works is that both of us and Tomato Goddess will get decoupled from this event. I will get freed from my seal but you weren''t here, and neither was the tomato goddess. None of us would remember when this event happened, we might remember in 300 years or so, we might think it was 500ish years ago. At that point, at least for tomato goddess, it might be unclear the exact details so you should be safe for a long time. For us nine tails, we will probably remember the moment we meet each other or use a similar skill. I wish you the best, I will probably be unable to help you because I will forget about all this but I hope you stay alive till we can meet up and I can properly thank you.” Thank you, a lot, I hope you stay unsealed till we meet again but even besides this skill I have a bad memory so I might still not remember.


    Tomato goddess tried something but I mustered all my strength and sent a fire [Dragon] at her. “What is this?!”


    We completed the collaboration magic and it took all the mana I had stored in my tails.
