章 371: Unfortunately, I wasn’t joking

"That was a nice bluff." The girl gave me a thumbs up as we descended the stairs. 

There were pyres here and there but the place was oddly dark. And I felt empowered without the sun. 

"What bluff? The slayer of Thamas thing?"

"Yeah!" She was excited, but still behind me. "Thamas was like one of our greatest rulers, using her name, and using the lord of Elves' name no less! You staggered them for a second, brilliant!" Perhaps too excited. 

I didn't know if I should have been happy or sad, but oh well. 

We'd descended to the first floor. Her mother wasn't here. 

The guards put up a fight but they weren't good enough. 

There were traps here and there. And even domesticated monsters. 

To me though, they were nothing. 

I sliced and slashed and before we knew it, we were halfway through the third floor, on our way to the fourth.
