"What are you standing there for? Go and save her." Riveria said as she raised her staff to hit me.
-Bonk-
"Ow, I was about to do that, you know." I said as I summoned the void tendrils that don't have any sharp blades in them.
"AAAAAAAH" Ais screamed as the tendrils caught her, then putting her down on the ground.
"Now, what did we learn today?" I said as I looked at Ais, who was shaking a little.
The moment Ais saw me, she ran towards Riveria, hiding behind her.
"Ais, don't be scared, that was your punishment...And also your daily training for unlocking the spirit power." I said, trying to get close to her, but she was stepping back every step I took.
"That's actually impressive, Allen." Riveria said, looking at Ais and me.
"What's impressive?"
"I didn't see Ais this scared at someone."
I mean, for a 10-year-old child to be sent into the sky by surprise and then have her fall is normally scary for a child. Right?
'But still seeing Ais scared of water and heights is something unacceptable for someone who wants to kill a dragon.'
"Ais, you will not be able to defeat the dragon if you keep being scared of water and heights."
My words made her freeze, knowing I might be right.
"So, you have two choices. One is to face these fears without running or asking for help, or two, which is to keep being afraid of it."
Ais was still in her place, thinking about what to do.
"I will go to the dungeon and tell me you're answer when I come back." I said as I teleported to the Dungeon.
"Now that I think about it, I haven't been paying attention to the dungeon."
F1 – F4: Simple, maze-like rock corridors with light blue walls and minimal environmental hazards, and the air is fresh.
F5 – F8: The blue rock gives way to more traditional dungeon gray, and the paths become slightly more intricate.
I think I can go to the other floors now.
I arrived on the ninth floor, then continued to the other.
F9 – F12: Becomes notably larger and more vertical. Includes pits and some environmental variation. Floor 12 is a common resting/camping point before the Middle Floors.
Now that I think about it, I didn't use Dung Defender's abilities.
I looked at the ground, then started going down.
'This might be a shortcut for me to go to every floor.'
I stopped at one of the floors to look around.
[Secret Quest completed: Reach floor 15]
[Rewards]
Wayward Compass + Map and Quill
That's weird, I mean, I have the map, sure, but why do I need another map if the guild can sell one?
[Host, this map can show you the place that you've never been to before and shows the secret passage.]
'Now that's more like it.' I thought as I pulled the map to see how it works.
It was like from the game when you open the map, but the difference is that I can see it from above instead of sideways.
"Hey, we got someone lost here." An unfamiliar voice came behind me.
Looking behind me, I saw five people.
Three swordsman and two magic users.
"I'm not lost; I just wanted to hunt some monsters." I said, turning my attention to the map.
"Yeah, but tell me which familia are you in?" The person with the sword asks with a smirk.
"That's none of your business." I said without turning my head to him, still focusing on the map.
"Too bad, I wanted to know more, but it was unfortunate to meet us."
Out of nowhere, the person swung his sword at me.
I put away my map and pulled my nail to block it.
-Shing-
"Oh, so you're not weak." he said with a smile, then jumped back to his group.
"You're one of evilus aren't you?" I said, pulling the needle with my other hand.
"Yeah, and what're you going to do about it?"
"If you were a normal adventure, I wouldn't have shown this side of me." I said, releasing my killing intent.
"Tch, show off after we kill you, we will feed your body to the monsters."
'1 spear, 2 swords, and 2 magic users. I should get serious now.' I thought as they began to move.
I used my silk to trap the person with a spear.
"What the hell, I can't move. Hey, help remove this thing." He looked at his body, seeing the silk covering his body.
"It's just a web, idiot, cut it off yourself."
"You think I can cut something like this with my ha-"
-Crack-
A sound of a crack appeared where the guy with the spear is.
All his companions looked at him, horrified.
His head was looking behind his back.
I released my silk from his head, then looked at the others.
"What's wrong, scared?" I said with a smirk.
"You bastard. I'll kill you." The guy with the sword dashes at me with an angry expression as he raises his sword to bring it down at me.
But the attack never came.
"What the?"
-Splash-
-Thud- x2
He looked behind, seeing that the two mages' heads had been cut off.
Two swordsmen left.
"We must run now." He saw his companion shaking with fear in his eyes.
Before moving, he saw a small spike under his companion.
The spike became big instantly, penetrating his companion's body and skull.
"I think you should focus on me instead of looking at a dead body."
The guy turned to attack me, but it was futile.
-shing-
-splash-
"AAAAAAAAH"
Two huge swords came from underground, cutting both of his arms.
I appeared in front of him, grabbing his throat, then lifting him in the air.
"Wait, please don't kill me-sniff-I'm sorry, I'll never hurt anybody again, just please let me go." The guy said with tears in his eyes.
But I looked at him in the eyes with coldness.
"Heh, HAHAHAHA." I started laughing so loudly that it made the man shiver.
"I'm sorry, it's just stupid for you to think I will let you go."
"Please, I will do anything!"
"You killed many people, and now you think you deserve to live. How pathetic you are."
-Crack-
I cracked his neck, then dropped his lifeless body on the ground.
I looked at the dead bodies, feeling satisfied.
"Now, onto the next target." I said with a smirk.
The hunt begins.
