After what happened with Freya we all came home, we were talking about Freya's changes.
One of the things that the World Tree spirit taught Freya before we left was about how to change her appearance, it was a technique that only the Old Elves are able to use that the World Tree spirit knows, it seems to be a simple magic the way fast that Freya learned.
Now Freya is again with her light green hair and her skin color is back to white, but her golden eyes and the tattoos of thin roots on her body are still in place, in addition, the crystal on her head is still the diamond (◇) twice the size of the previous crystal, but the Red Crystal Tree is no longer appearing inside.
According to Luthien any Elf or anyone else will think that Freya received the Blessing of a God, the World Tree, or something similar.
It seems like the chance of finding out that she is an Ancient Elf is almost zero, only a God or a World Tree will be able to see the truth.
This will help us a lot since I don't want the other people in the village to find out about Freya, so she comes home looking like a White Elf, but her appearance has become a little younger and a lot prettier, I think even for by Elf standards it would be hard to believe she is Caryna's mother.
When we arrived Caryna, Sophia and Kira were impatiently waiting, especially Caryna who was hugging her husband Leo so tightly she could almost hear her bones creaking to the point of breaking.
As soon as we arrive and go through the door, I see Caryna release Leo who falls to the floor with foam coming out of his mouth as Vanessa tries to heal him, Caryna runs towards us and throws herself in her mother's arms while praising her new appearance.
After we all go to the room I ask Alice and Nolan to gather everyone, then I let Freya reveal her appearance to everyone, Kira and Sophia didn't care much about Freya's race change, what they saw was her presence that changed completely.
Elsaris and her children were also keeping an eye on this as they realized the difficulty they would have to hide from such strong senses, I don't know how they noticed this, but from what they said it comes from their instincts and the experience they have after so many years.
The majority's reaction was happiness for Freya's increase in strength, they didn't care much about her race itself, what everyone is seeing is mostly her strength.
One thing I noticed was Nolan turning red and looking at Freya, I feel sorry for him, he won't stand a chance, I think I'll talk to him later before this womanizer hits something so hard it's going to break his fragile heart.After the meeting, I left everyone talking and went back to my room to meditate and start preparing combat strategies.

On the same day, I open the Dungeon gate for Orion and Ragnar to train somewhere without worrying about destroying the surroundings.
I had to go along with them since if Orion isn't around me, I'll be followed by thousands of Fairies and Spirits.
But before we enter the Dungeon I tell the others what to do while I'm away, I told Freya to go train with the Elf Queen and I told Sophia to supervise the training of Caryna who is insisting on participating in the next battle.
Alice is also wanting to participate in the next battle, but she will be learning more about attack spells from Rakan during these days.
I don't see a problem with them participating while they're safe, as far as I know, it won't just be the Lower Catastrophe Grade monsters that will attack, they'll be leading a new wave of monsters out of the Dungeons, so we're going to need an army to fight again.
But once I think about setting Sakura aside to save those in danger, it will decrease one of our strongest fighters, but greatly decrease the number of casualties.
Everyone else already had their own training to do, so I let them get on with their preparations.
Among those who were improving the fastest, Ibuki, Jade, and Samira are the ones who are growing at a rapid pace.
Ibuki is fighting every day against Elf warriors who have a lot of combat experience, so her swordplay is getting better and better.Jade has been learning from Rakan about spells that can make use of her poisons, from what I've heard from Rakan this has been a very interesting topic of study for her to help her.
Samira was the one that surprised me the most since even training with her sister, she is not following in the footsteps of an assassin, she is learning more techniques of movement, jumping, and combat.
According to what Elsaris told me, Samira is trying to become a Martial Artist as her main job, but Elsaris doesn't know what kind of Martial Arts to teach her sister.
Hela seemed to want to train her combat techniques more and try new necromancer magic, this could be dangerous to do outside of the Dungeon.
Lilith also wanted to train dangerous things like curse spells and demonic spells, these types of training cannot be done in a place with such pure energy as this.
So when I entered the Dungeon along with Orion and Ragnar, I also decided to take Samira, Lilith, and Hela with me.
With the passage of time, the day that the monsters would arrive had arrived, and everyone was in their positions and just waiting for the warning signal that the enemies were attacking.
I was beside Ivan at the back of the army.
"Are you sure it wouldn't be better for us all to attack in the forest?" (I)
"It would be a bad idea, we are not sure of the enemy's abilities, so fighting here will be better, we also have ritual spells ready that can take care of one or two Lesser Catastrophe Grade monsters that pass you by as a guarantee." (Ivan)
"This can be dangerous for troops who are below Grade SSS." (Ivan)
"Leave that side to me and you can take care of the rest of the plan, master." (Ivan)
"Alright, the others are already positioned, so I'm leaving before the monsters arrive." (I)
I run and enter the forest disappearing from Ivan's vision.
