章 35: Chapter 35-Is This The Difference in Luck?

Alice and I have put on clothes, and I'm currently cooking meat soup to eat. Woli is still in Alice's arms until now, she doesn't look happy at all. Sensing soup is ready, I put it in a bowl and give it to both of them.

"This is for you Alice, I'm sure you're very hungry after we did that all night," I smiled at her.

Alice had a blush on her face, hearing what I said. Taking a bowl of soup in my hand, Alice ate it slowly, her eyes immediately sparkling at the taste of my cooking. She ate the soup with a happy expression.

"How delicious isn't it?" I asked with a smile.

"Hmn, this is delicious, Lute, this reminds me of my mom's cooking," Alice's face looked sad as she talked about her past.

I immediately panicked seeing her sad, didn't know what to do, I could only calm her down with my words.

"It's okay Alice, now you have me,"

"That's right, I won't be sad, because now I have Lute," Alice smiled charmingly at me.

'Ugh.. What light is this, she looks like an angel,'

I felt I saw light in her smile. Alice had told me about her past before. After hearing about her past, it was very sad. I can't imagine if I were in her position.

"Master, what about me? Did you forget me again?" Woli looked at me with teary eyes while on Alice's lap.

"Hahaha, I'm sorry, eat it, even though you don't really need to eat," I gave Woli a bowl of soup.

"Thank you, Master," Woli ate soup voraciously, Alice and I smiled at this.

After we all finished breakfast, I took Alice, to where I had been living in the woods all this time.

"Alice, come with me, to the cave where I've been living all this time, although the place isn't big, I'll make a bed that fits both of us to sleep in there," I smiled at Alice.

Alice remembered last night when I was talking about Bed. Alice had a blush on her face.

"Hehehe.. what's wrong Alice? Did you think of something naughty?"

"Th-that, I just..."

Alice's face was getting redder, I laughed softly at her cute blushing face.

"Let's go," I unceremoniously pulled her hand away, Alice's face looked a little calm as I pulled her hand away.

....

Alice and I walked through the forest together. Woli didn't come with us, she returned to the System. While walking in the forest, two of us chatted, many things. But suddenly Alice saw somewhere.

"Lute, is it a ruin?"

Alice pointed at a certain place, when I saw the direction she was pointing, I was dumbfounded. I've been wandering around for 5 years. I remember very well, there weren't any traces there like ruins.

But right now, I saw an entrance passage a ruin that looked very old. The passage was made of stone like a dungeon door building. I'm sure, these are the ruins I've been looking for.

'Isn't this weird? So far I haven't found it, and when I'm with Alice, entrance to the ruins is visible.'

It's frustrating how bad my luck is right now. Maybe it's karma from an abundance of luck I've had, whereas, for Alice, she's been suffering all this time, so she's got a lot of luck right now. I can only think of this as the reason.

"Alice, let's go inside, I'm curious about these ruins,"

"But Lute, these ruins look dangerous."

Alice looks worried when I invite her in, she might be afraid of losing her loved ones again. But these ruins are in front of my eyes, for 5 years I haven't found them at all. How can I just leave?

"It's okay Alice, I'm here,"

Saying that I withdrew her hand, Alice still looked worried. Arriving at the entrance of the ruins, the passage was dark. Pulling her hand, we both entered inside.

The hallway which was originally dark, suddenly, torches on walls of passage lit up. Now it was no longer difficult for us to look ahead. Not long after we walked through the interior, a giant stone door appeared in front of two of us.

I turned towards Alice, she seemed hesitant to go inside, but I calmed her down. Arriving at the giant door, I pushed open the stone door. But slowly the door opened by itself before I could push it.

*Rumble*

The door opened with a loud noise, it was so dark inside, I couldn't see anything at all. When I was about to enter with Alice, my vision suddenly became blurry after that I fainted.

.....

I opened my eyes slowly, got up quickly. My breath sounded rough, looking around. I didn't know where I was at this moment. This room looks like a closed room.

"Alice? Are you here!!!"

I shouted but there was no answer, it seemed we were in separate places. This should be a test for one who entered the ruins. Suddenly a magic circle formed on the floor. After that, a minotaur-like creature appeared, but it looked like a machine made of metal. Smoke came out of its nose, its eyes were red.

"ROAR,"

The metal minotaur shouted, he brought his ax towards me. I immediately dodged and used my chains to tie him up. Since I had a lot of mana, now I can make a lot of chains.

This Minotaur is not my opponent at all, he is too weak for me. I gripped my hand in the air, instantly the minotaur's body was tied like a mummy in chains. After that chains pinned him until his body crumbled.

This is an easy battle for me.

--PoV Alice--

"Ugh.. where is this, Lute? Where are you, LUTEEE!!"

I saw that Lute was not here at all, scared by Lute's departure. I was afraid he would leave me. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. I can't think negatively, right now I have to find out where Lute is.

Suddenly a Magic Circle formed on stone floor, after which a metal creature like a snake appeared from there. I looked at this creature with a very angry expression, someone must have separated me and Lute. I felt. want to dismember this creature.

"I will make you pay for it, for separating me from Lute," I said angrily.

"Vines Thorns,"

The metal snake, instantly tied up with vines from beneath it, and slammed into ground so that it couldn't move. I walked slowly towards snake.

The vines gathered behind me, then formed a pointed tip. The vines pierced snake until its body fell apart.

"How dare you make Lute and I separate, hehehe ... I will destroy you to pieces,"

My eyes are currently glowing red, if beast I killed right now was a fleshy creature, I'm sure, blood of that creature would have been gushing everywhere. The snake didn't last long and stopped moving. A strange door appeared on the wall, it seemed that it was the next exam room.

Walking to the next door, my eyes now look sinister. If other people saw it, they would be scared to death.
