Vicente left the Elves Tribe as quickly as he had arrived on his second visit to the area. As soon as he had presented the group with Leena, Lyra, and Tasar, he said goodbye to them and the tribe.
Vicente was only there to talk about the native elves of Polaris Realm, who had passed
through the island. He had many other curiosities and questions to ask someone as knowledgeable about local history as Lyra. But now was not the time to focus on things he would have time to learn later.
In a few months, he would find himself sailing the Sea of Stars again, when he'd have at least a few years at Lyra's side to hear some of what she knew. So, after resolving his immediate doubts and giving the three of them something in return, he said goodbye.
Vicente told them he would return one last time, when he was to leave Amae for good, when Lyra was to join his group and depart from Amae. This could happen at any time in the next few weeks, so she should be prepared.@@novelbin@@
So he, Larissa and Rex set off from the elves' territory, going on to search for the four enemy areas that Nan had marked for him to deal with as soon as possible.
It was time for them to enter their last phase in Amae before continuing with their journey to find more information about the Nine Paths and the next stages.
In particular, now that he had got his eighth pentagram, he was now interested in obtaining the sixteenth pentagram!

Vicente himself wasn't willing to invest his time in an endless hunt, so his missions would serve to deal with strategic points such as the Wood Elementals' headquarters, not far ahead of them.
He took more care with his movement as Prisiche's warning faded, focusing on the area full of trees ahead, where the strategic outpost of the fairy alliance's enemies should be in this region.
'Here should be 10 of the 40 strongest Grand Magus in the enemy group. Some of them are probably out of the area, on missions, but the intelligence gathered by the fairies says that at least 4 Grand Magus of the Wood Elemental Tribe are settled here, almost permanently,' Vicente thought to himself as he saw, little by little, the building that blended in with the trees and the terrain, occupying an area of around 2,000 square meters in the middle of this dense forest.
When he stopped in one bush, hidden in the not-so-strong shadows at that time of day, he spread his senses around, advancing until he understood the outermost area of the enemy post.
He could sense 22 defensive formations and traps for invaders trying to secretly enter the area. At the same time, 12 guards from the beginning of the 8th stage were standing by, alternating their vigilance against the surroundings, looking for traces of trouble.
Vicente didn't immediately sense the magical fluctuations of the enemies now inside that Wood Elemental unit, but he could tell that there was a group of a few dozen enemies there. Outposts like this served as warehouses for groups going to war and others returning. It shouldn't be uncommon for wounded returning to these areas of conflict to stay at outposts like this for a while before returning to battle or going home.
But the numbers at this post didn't matter so much to Vicente. He was there for a massacre and only the number of medium-sized Grand Magus-which could make things somewhat difficult for him- mattered to him.
He mapped out the terrain with his earth element skills, feeling some difficulty, as wood was precisely one of the elements he would have trouble facing.
Given the nature of the wood element, holders of wood-related powers had good defenses against opponents with lightning as an element. Vicente sensed this even before fighting, sensing little of the surroundings of this unit, which he had chosen to attack first precisely because of the challenge it would impose on him.
The Wood Elementals' misfortune was Vicente's other affinities, which propelled him to go ahead and start his attack after only 5 minutes since arriving in the area.
