As they took part in activities related to the rift for the last year, the Astray Senior group members were experts in searching. They roamed around in a harsh environment where ordinary people couldnât survive, find the evidence of the rift, and destroy it. Perhaps it could be considered as a dynamic experience when compared to the conquering of the Sherden dungeon, which Evan knew all the appropriate tactics about. But even for those members, the Volcanic Desert was a tough place.
âWithout this armorâŠwe wouldnât have been able to even enter in the first place, would we? Iâve experienced all kinds of environments, but itâs my first time entering a place as hot as this one. Can this even be called an atmosphere?â
âI canât hear natureâs voice well. Commander, this place weakens Druidâs power. Maybe it applies to everyone else that uses magicâŠâ
Shine grumbled as he felt dumbfounded while breathing in the burning air, and Anastasia spoke while testing her Druid powers. Belois concluded the current situation.
âThis place has distortion thatâs more severe than the dungeon. This might be the effect from the volcanic ashes.â
ââŠI agree with it.â
Mirole mumbled as she bent and touched the black volcanic ashes that covered the ground.
âThe entire region is within the influence of an ancient mystic area. How is thisâŠâ
âEven the Eternal Glacier had remnants of the ancient ruin. But still, the entire region is within the orbit.â

Nobody had ever set foot in the Volcanic Desert. It was just mentioned in the main story, so Evan thought that this might be the most dangerous place on the continent. But it was out of his expectations that the entire region was maintaining the ancient environment from Yo-Ma Great War Zero. Presumably, one could hypothesize that the region encroached so that the activities within the volcanic region wouldnât get interrupted as it contained powers from ancient times. If notâŠ
âOr maybe some other factor was involved.â
Evan was looking at his Rose Vine Ring on his middle finger. It was at that moment Gnar growled deeply to inform the members about something.
âEnemy spotted. Requesting to engage.â
Along with a brief report, Belois lifted her hand, and several purple crystals floating around her flew away. They clashed with something so far away that it was almost impossible to recognize with the naked eye! Right after, a giant pillar of flame arose.
ââŠLua, is that your magic?â
âNo. Itâs defense magic from the enemy. Quite strong. Perhaps stronger than the Four Heavenly Kings.â
The pillar was so powerful that the heatwave from it was reaching them despite the distance. And the pillar was growing even bigger. The enemy was approaching. Belois cast a defense spell that emitted cold air, and Mirole shot a few arrows as a precaution to slow the enemyâs movement. Maybe she could have killed it, but it seemed like she wanted to check out the enemy at close range.
âIs there a possibility that the monster we accidentally encountered is a boss monster?â

âNope. Itâs just that the level of monsters in this area is ridiculously high.â
Evan smiled and dropped his head at Arishaâs question. Yeah, a typical situation just happened.
âThere was a mention about an enemyâŠan entertainment for those psychopaths with an ability to complete any quests and the hard mode dungeons with just Devilâs bootsâŠâ
âHave you spoken to God?â
Peopleâs opinions were divided into two when they heard about the final content released as the DLC for Yo-Ma Great War 4 and the release of Yo-Ma Great War 5. The first was about the dungeon city of Merdin being the starting ground for the storyline, but many arguments stated that the Merdin Story would be released as the next series and not the DLC. The most convincing opinion was the second one, about the Volcanic Desert contents, which were only mentioned in Yo-Ma Great War 2. The reason why such an idea was acceptable by most was that the Demon King, the final boss for Yo-Ma Great War 3, was sealed in Eternal Glacier, the exact opposite place of the Volcanic Desert. If so, it wouldnât be weird if the hidden boss that surpassed the Demon King of Yo-Ma Great War 4 was also sealed in the Volcanic Desert!
âBut still, the entire region is harsh.â
âItâs approaching.â
Mirole spoke briefly as she charged a Wind Arrow on her bow. Everyone became silent and watched the incoming monster. It was flying low above the ground, and a trail of fire that looked like lava was dripping on its path, which was very threatening.
âEssssshâŠ

Red hair all over its fat body, giant compound eyes, six legs that are shaking, and flame wings that constantly flapped and dropped fire. It was a giant tiger moth.
âKyaaaaaaa!â
Arisha was terrified as she clung to Evan.
âArisha, do you hate insects?â
âI hate the feeling of powder on my finger when I touch them!â
âAn odd yet precise description.â
âCute!â
On the other hand, Serena loved creatures like worms, so she seemed to like the tiger moth. Her eyes just popped out in hearts at the sight of the moth, which flapped its wings and had its edges on them.
âWonât I look like a fairy if I ride it?â

âIf you want that picture, can you at least make it from moth to butterfly? No, a butterfly that big would be gross.â
That couldnât be tamed in the first place. SinceâŠEvan felt his ring shaking, and he let out a heavy sigh. He expected something like this would happen, but it seriously happened.
âYou. Are you from the Mahwa Tribe?â
ââŠ
The moth didnât attack but rather observed them, or Evan is more precise. Perhaps it was feeling the same too. That Evan had an unusual item and that it was most probably related to the Mahwa Tribe. Quite some time passed, and it suddenly turned its body when Evan decided to attack it. It flapped its wings and flew to somewhere else as if it were telling them to follow.
âWhat does it mean?â
âShall I kill it now?â
âLetâs follow it for now.â
And after checking its strength from up close, it was surely strong, but it wasnât undefeatable. For sure, it was according to the standard of the Senior group members. They obtained the power to destroy the balance of the world, thanks to Evanâs powering-up plan. However, it still was stronger than the enemies in the ancient ruin of the Eternal Glacier.

âAnd a monster like that is a little monster and not a boss. What on earth were the developers thinking? No, the stats have definitely changed when compared to the game.â
The story in the gameâŠin other words, according to the given story, the Mahwa Tribe had completely become extinct by the epilogue of Yo-Ma Great War 2. They had no chance whatsoever to crawl into the Volcanic Desert to create a new force. But in this world, Leoâs party lacked power, so they missed capturing the core force of the Mahwa Tribe, including Queen Rose, and the Mahwa Tribe that successfully entered the Volcanic Desert was successful in breeding strong monsters in the area. Therefore, in conclusion, it resulted in tremendously strong endgame monsters. What if they invaded the other areas before Evan visited them? It was a horrible assumption.
âThat Rose, she would have known that some of the Mahwa Tribe entered the Volcanic Desert.â
Perhaps she foresaw the future from the moment she gave Evan a ring. She had to side with the humans now and eliminate those who took a different path. Still, it would hurt her conscience to kill them by herself, so she entrusted the annoying work to Evan by giving him the ring! There was another possibility that Rose tipped off Bernard regarding the matters on the Volcanic Desert. No, Bernard couldnât possibly be fooled by her.
âGood, Iâll pluck about three handfuls of petals when I meet her later.â
ââŠThe Mahwa tribe, they sure are scary ones. It feels like they lifted the limits off their existences.â
âItâs quite similar. They are capable of expanding their abilities by taking over the fully grown body of a being and then mixing their spirits into it. It was horrendous, as they became humans if they parasitized on humans, and monsters, too, werenât an exception.â
âThe Mahwa Tribe canât be tamedâŠâ
Other members were amazed for a moment by the strength of the Mahwa Tribe, while Serena was disappointed that she couldnât tame the moth.

âThere was a reason why Yo-Ma Great War 2 didnât have a tamer classâŠgive up peacefully, Ray.â
âHow about if I make it hatch eggs?â
âThatâs not a moth but rather a Mahwa Tribe member with a resemblance to the moth.â
As Evan was having a foolish conversation with Serena, the tiger moth started climbing a gigantic volcano while making its way through volcanic ashes and lava. Evan sensed that there are numerous others that climbed the mountain, and most of them were suspected to be Mahwa Tribe.
âThe aura from the summit is immense. Mahwa TribeâŠI believe they were unbelievably powerful.â
âI guess so. If they pair up with excellent hosts, they can become this strong, which makes me think that Grandpa Bernard was really luckyâŠâ
Considering that Bernard had become stronger as he moved into Sherden, this was a speechless situation.
âTssssyaâŠ!
The tiger moth bellowed lightly. The members realized theyâd reached the summit. Red magma that could erupt any time bubbled in the crater of the active volcano. It wouldnât be a surprise if it were about to erupt. There definitely was a living creature inside.

âAre you the one with the proof of the queen?
As it opened its eyes and spoke, Evan suspected whether the Mahwa Tribe gobbled up the entire volcano. But it didnât, fortunately. Or rather, unfortunately.
âItâs certainâproof of friendship and not of theft or domination. So, the queen really turned to the side of the humans.
It raised its body from the crater and flapped its wings to levitate slowly. Evan laughed loudly. He was so dumbfounded that he just laughed.
âWe need to talk. About the surviving Mahwa Tribe on this landâŠand about the queen who decided to live in a different place from us.
It was believed to be a cliff-hanger since it didnât appear even in Yo-Ma Great War Zero, which was the comprehensive guide to all myths and legends. Letâs be happy about being able to acquire its feathers, and thatâs how Evan tried to forget about it.
âStrong human. Tell me about the queen. Did the queen send you to us after learning of our existence?
The Mahwa Tribe spoke, or rather, the leader who represented multiple Mahwa Tribe members that gathered on the summit of the volcano. The Mahwa Tribe acquired the immortal body of the Divine Bird that only appeared in the legends of the Yo-Ma Great War series. A giant bird with an overwhelming size, the King of all myth that even looked down on dragons! While looking at the absolute existence that came to birth miraculously, Evan thoughtâŠ
âIf I pluck all those feathers, how many Elixirs will I be able to produce?â
