Hi! It's been awhile since the last chapter, most of my time has been dedicated to my real life commitments, so it has been increasingly hard to make more content. :(
Nonetheless, I've finally been able to put together this chapter. There were multiple revisions, since the story was actually meant to end at chapter 4. I hope you enjoy where the story is headed, and a big thanks to Mpgrey for helping out with the text and Roxen with the ideas.
Finally... to set some expectations, if you do enjoy the comic and am looking forward to the next part, it's going to be a long, long while as life commitments are still increasing. I still hope to complete the second arc of the story one day, but I have lesser and lesser time to dedicate to this hobby.
It has been fun, and I thank everyone for reading throughout the years.
*Note: the pink haired lady with the bun is the Divine from the last chapter, her looks have just been updated.
I am really happy you decided to continue this series. I hope in the new year you will find both time and energy to continue this work or other works with similar theme. Corruption of adventurers, hidden evil cult, tainting holy water.... It feels like there were a lot of nice ideas in this chapter that could be further expanded upon and that this chapter could be split into even more chapters. Also I really like not-so-obvious ending, its nice surprise! Story is more interesting when protagonist has ups and downs. And our mage's human form is very erotic!
What is wrong with their lips? It’s like they decided to get plastic surgery to have permanent duck lips, but something went horribly wrong and they lost half the upper lip.
