With everything settled, we continued with our discussion on the Orcs and what to do about them.

And since everyone looked to me for answers, I finally figured out a solution. We'll use Kenos.

I looked over at the first elder who was silently sitting on one of the chairs to join in our conversation. She was giving off a very angry aura that put everyone, except for me, on edge.

"So," Kenos started. "I can already assume why you called me, Da-I mean, master~"

I shivered when she called me master. The way she said it did not sound pleasant at all.

Amy noticed my discomfort and glared daggers at Kenos. Her response was snickering while also sticking out her tongue like a little kid.

You think that an Elder would be more major than this, but I guess I was wrong. I mean, Zerris also acts like a child at times during our two encounters, so I guess it just runs in the family.

Well, except for Amy. She's about the only person that doesn't act like some little kid.

Does it only apply to deities? I don't get it.

Actually, I shouldn't be worried about that. Let's just get back to the main issue.

"Kenos, we need your help on this Orc problem," I told her.

"Hmm, I figured you would call me for this~ I am an Elder, after all, ~"

An Elder that acts more childish than a five-year-old, I thought to myself but made no attempts to voice it.

I took a deep breath and tried to collect my thoughts. Just talking to her is starting to piss me off.

"Yes, it's because you're an Elder that you can deal with them. I believe you already know what I mean, right?"

Kenos looked at me, trying to confirm my question. She then looked away and sighed.

"If you're expecting me to use my [Absolute Domain] skill on the Orcs, then that's impossible."

"Huh?" I blurted out. "What do you mean?"

Didn't we just have a battle with the skills? How come she can't use it?

Before Kenos could answer, Amy jumped in to do it for her.

"It's because the gods managed to restrict her abilities, including that troublesome skill of hers, [Absolute Domain]." Amy looked disgusted mentioning the skill.

"But, we were just using the skills in my head. What's up with that?" I asked.

"You see, that's the annoying part~," Kenos said while lightly tapping her nail on the arm of the chair. "The [Absolute Domain] we used in your subconscious was only a...imitation to the real thing."

"An imitation?" I repeated in confusion.

"Yes," She confirmed. "When you're inside your subconscious, you can't use any of the skills that you use in real life. That's because of the Existence Plane Law."

The hell is that?

Kenos noticed my confusion and sighed.

"It's a long and very complicated law that I'd rather not get into, so we'll just say, for now, that there are two planes of existences; There's the Physical Plane; also known as the Real-world, and the Subconscious Plane; also known as the Dream World."

"Just out of curiosity, how many planes of existences are there?" I asked, kind of curious about the subject.

Kenos got annoyed by my question but reluctantly answered. "There are many planes of existences. In fact, you've already visited three so far."
