[ ~ Chapter • Start ~ ]
As Rance stared at the blue haired teenager with suspicion in his eyes, said teenager approached him, thinking he could be a friendly guy.
"You're Bird Lithfie, right?" Rance asked, as the said guy nodded. "Hm, I expected you to be dead right below here you know?"
Bird twitched his eyebrows, yet tolerated the rude behavior of Rance as he might be a bit overprotective of Sill.
"Aside from my joke, did you try to once seduce her?" He asked, as Bird immediately raised his hands and shook his head in total denial.
"Uh, no! No way! I have standards, you know!?"
And then, Rance looked at Sill, whowas still hugging him tightly.
"Sill! I order you to explain what happened to you, at this once!" He commanded, as his slave let go of him and began to tell him what happened.
After a while....
".... You're telling me that you were teleported here, found him almost dead while bathing, began to heal him, and then took a long adventure throughout a part of the flesh dungeon, had to kill a tentacle monster capturing you, and then freeing some girls. In the end, your efforts became useless as you were now trapped here, waiting for me? I wouldn't forget that this Dungeon is also governed by Elenoir, too." Rance summarized, as Sill nodded.
Rance then began to think of something, and looked at Bird again.
"You're probably just causalty here. So I'll get you to the Third Floor of the Dungeon before I could, you know.... punch your ugly face?" Rance spoke, flicking his fingers towards Bird as he was sent to said floor without any problems.
He sighed, wondering where Elenoir was.
"Still, this dungeon feels a little creepy because it's alive... But, priorities first."
He began to observe the room they were in using [Reading Iris], all while holding Sill close to him.
The room was completely made out of flesh, and above them was a hole Rance made recently. It seemed like they might be trapped her for a while, until Rance noticed something different from a part of the wall.
He walked towards the wall, and when he touched it, he felt like it was still there.
Yet....
"Dispel." He spoke, as the fleshy wall in front of them vanished to reveal a pathway forward. With this, he concluded that this flesh dungeon had several illusions placed on it.
It was probably coming from Elenoir, as he has heard that the girl has astounding skill in illusions from Ragisis.
Before they were about to leave the area, a semi-transparent, glowing image of a girl appeared in front of them.
"How did you... get here!?" The girl asked, a little bit shocked, irritated, and angry at me. "Arrrgghh..... No matter, I'll have you drown in despair by my hands... I'll be waiting for both of you."
After that, her image vanished, and for some reason she sounded like she's going to lose the moment they encounter her personally.
Judging by Rance's annoyed expression, that... might just be the case.
"..... I don't think I would love to wander around this maze pointlessly. So, just stay right behind me Sill, I'm drilling ourselves a shortcut." Rance spoke, as Sill wordlessly stood right behind him.
"Step back a little more."
Sill did as told, just before Rance pointed two of his fingers towards a fleshy wall in front of them. He held the arm that was extended forward, beginning to focus magic in front of him.
"[Black Destruction Beam]!" In a mere fraction of a second, a massive purple ball, about twice the size of Sill, appeared and began to cave through a pathway for the both of them.
In the distance, Elenoir suddenly had to dodge a ball of darkness as it was quite literally destroying everything in it's path, and glanced at the direction where it came from.
"..... What the hell?" She spoke, as she began to feel like something bad was going to happen to her soon enough. A sense of dread begins to crawl up from her legs, as Rance, with an annoyed expression, entered the room with Sill behind him.
"Elenoir Ran, huh..... You said you'll have me drown in despair, right?" He spoke, staring at the third witch of Custom. "Try me, then."
Elenoir began to collect herself, as she took out her rapier and walked forward with a smirk and a confident stare.
She believed he has exhausted himself from the blast, and he was trying to make up an act that wouldn't really work.
And, with a powerful glare, she began to use illusions against him and his partner.
The only problem for her was that Rance had already prepared several [Support Magic] that blocks illusions on both him and Sill. It was also the reason why absolutely nothing happened.
"....."
*glare....*
*glare!*
"It's not working?! How?!"
When Rance was in range, he leaped towards her and reached for her face.
"Because..... I just wanted my job done!"
A relatively short fight between Rance and Elenoir burst forth, and as expected, Rance was the one to come out on top.
After that, he began to take out the Phil Ring that she has.
When he successfully did, he noticed that Elenoir was suddenly crying.
Something had to be done right now. Maybe consulting the uncorrupted Elenoir would be best.
