Ika's Second Grand Adventue!-And the Boss Who Waited Too Long

Ika’s second Grand Adventure should have been simple: scout the stronghold of the feared Demon King Mordrake, observe his defenses, and report back to Atlas. Instead, one cracked Contact Crystal, countless suspicious detours, hidden treasures, helpful villages, and a whole lot of food turn a short reconnaissance mission into a four-month journey. Meanwhile, Mordrake receives only broken fragments of Ika’s transmissions—and becomes convinced the Grand Archive has sent an unstoppable monster after him. As fear, friendship, and one very expensive fortress collide, Ika may discover that the greatest victories aren’t always won with a sword. Sometimes, all it takes is taking the long way around.
