In a dark and cold cave, a ray of light flashed as if illuminating the entire place.
Right after that, seven people suddenly appeared, which was Lathel’s group.
“This place is…” Lathel muttered.
Arine, who stood next to him, smiled and said: “This place is the Dungeon used to imprison Demon Lords; more specifically, this place is the 99th floor of the Dungeon.”
“Floor 99? So… the monsters in this place are definitely strong, right?” Lathel frowned and asked.
“Not necessarily.” Arine continued to explain: “There are almost no monsters living in this place; there are only traps to prevent anyone from getting close to the Demon Lord’s seal.”
Lathel nodded, showing that he understood.
“Brother.” Suddenly, Dorothy hugged his leg: “Don’t worry, brother. Doran, and I will protect you.”
“Heh?! Do I have to protect him too?” Doran asked, startled.
“Hmm?!” Dorothy glanced at Doran, making Doran so scared that he shivered and sweated.
“Ah! Hahahaha… of course, don’t worry. I can definitely protect you, hahahaha…”
Iritellis glanced at Arine and Dorothy, feeling both embarrassed and helpless.
Suddenly, Lathel sighed and said: “You don’t have to protect me; I can protect myself. Besides, this mission is extremely dangerous. If there is danger, I will be the first to run away.”
“Huh! Trash is still trash.” Ikarys then spoke up: “A while ago, I heard someone say that they wanted to visit the Demon Lord’s seal; why is it that now you are saying something so cowardly?”
Lathel was not angry at all. He shrugged and said: “I just said that I wanted to visit; I do not want to die with you.”
“Okay…” Arine pouted and said: “Holy Son, don’t argue with him, okay? After all, you are the Holy Son; don’t pay attention to such small things.”
“This…” Ikarys gritted his teeth. He tried to control his explosive emotions and reminded Arine: “Holy Maiden, you should not walk next to such a coward. He will hinder you and endanger you.”
“Holy Son, he taught us that we must love others; give them love.” Arine said: “Lathel is very weak now, so he needs my protection even more.”
“Isn’t that right, Lathel?”
Lathel: “…”
“Brother, you don’t need to go with that girl.” Dorothy smiled and said: “Brother, you just need to come with me. Doran and I guarantee that no one will harm you.”
“Little girl…” Arine looked at Dorothy as she spoke; her voice was still friendly and clear, however, only Dorothy could recognise the cold, murderous intent in that voice: “Even though you are a genius,?what can a little girl like you do?”
“Ah! What I can do is more than you, flat-chest.”
“What? What did you just say? Arine gritted her teeth, she was so angry that blue veins appeared on her forehead.
“I said you’re flat-chested.” Dorothy pouted and said: “You should stay away from my second brother. Your flat chest will hurt him.”
“Little girl, it seems you don’t know what true beauty is.” Arine smiled, but that smile was filled with murderous intent: “Even though a flat chest is not beautiful, it is many times better than a big chest.”
“What about you? Your chest is also flat.”
Dorothy pouted and puffed out her chest: “Are your eyes blind? My breasts are also a little bigger than yours. What about you? I see nothing but a flat surface.”
“You…”
Lathel sighed and said: “Enough! How long are you going to argue?”
Dorothy pouted and hugged Lathel’s leg: “Brother, she scolded me.”
“Lathel… that girl dares to be rude to me.” Arine also hugged Lathel’s hand and spoke sulkily.
“Can you guys be quiet for a bit?” Lathel said tiredly.
“Holy Maiden!” Ikarys suddenly shouted: “You are the Holy Maiden; why do you touch other men so easily?”
The Holy Maiden pouted, then slowly let go of Lathel’s hand.
Ikarys glanced at Lathel; he really wanted to burn Lathel right now. However, there were many people here, and he did not dare to do so.
If he killed Lathel and let this story spread, the honour of a Holy Son like him would be tainted.
‘Calm down… Ikarys. You are the Holy Son; your honour cannot be trampled on because of trash like him.’ Ikarys thought to himself.
“Okay, don’t waste any more time here; let’s quickly carry out the mission.” Ikarys took a deep breath and spoke, then turned around and walked forward.
Lathel glanced at Alec, then followed behind Ikarys.
Iritellis and Doran also followed them. Alec looked towards everyone, then looked behind him, smiled fiercely, and followed behind Lathel.
This tunnel was quite large; it was about four metres high and six metres wide. It was so large that a container truck could easily move inside.
There were no light sources in this tunnel, so Ikarys walked in front and used light magic to illuminate the surroundings.
Lathel also didn’t trust Ikarys too much, so he plans to use a fireball to light up his surroundings. However, as he walked, he frowned, as he felt that something was wrong: ‘Strange, something smells very foul, very rotten.’
‘Not good!’
Lathel immediately grabbed Iritellis’s hand, pulled her into his arms, and then shouted: “Cauldron!”
“Oh!” Cauldron replied.
At this moment, a giant cauldron enveloped Lathel and Iritellis inside. Before Iritellis could understand what was happening, Lathel said: “Cover your ears!”
Of course, she completely trusted him, so she obediently followed what he said.
The people around Lathel frowned when they saw this, especially Alec and Ikarys, because they didn’t know what was going on.
“Tsk!” Ikarys clicked his tongue: “Ignore that trash; let’s move on.”
Dorothy frowned and glanced at Doran. Doran shrugged as if he didn’t understand why Lathel did what he did.
“You…”
Tik! Tik! Tik!
Before Ikarys could finish his sentence, strange sounds suddenly came from the cave wall, and sparks continuously shot out around Ikarys, startling him.
“Run!” Ikarys shouted, then he quickly ran away.
The others also hurriedly ran after him; however, Arine went next to the cauldron and hurriedly said: “Lathel, let’s run; something bad is about to happen.”
“You guys run; I’m very safe here.” Lathel’s words echoed outside.
When Arine saw everyone running away, she gritted her teeth and said: “No! If you don’t let me come inside with you, I will stand here.”
Lathel didn’t answer. Arine pursed her lips; her eyes were wet as if she were about to cry: ‘Lathel, have you changed? You were not like this in your previous life.’
“AAA!! You are so annoying!” Lathel shouted, then he lifted the cauldron and quickly pulled Arine inside.
Arine was startled, but she smiled brightly: ‘Lathel, I know you will never abandon me.’
The cauldron was very narrow, so the three of them had to hug each other to fit inside.
“Lathel, do you know what’s going to happen?”
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
As soon as Arine finished her question, countless explosions rang out. She could feel the ground trembling and countless rocks and soil collapsing.
However, the strange thing is that this cauldron still stands still, without any cracks appearing.
“Sit still!” Lathel shouted.
Hearing that, Arine obediently sat still, but she gently jumped into his arms, resting her head on his chest.
“You…”
“Lathel… I’m so scared!” Arine suddenly said in fear, her voice choked up as if she were about to cry: “I… am I going to die? It’s scary. What’s going on?
Lathel gritted his teeth. He didn’t know if this girl’s feelings were real or fake because she changed her emotions so quickly. But seeing her so scared, he could only sigh and gently pat Arine’s small back.
“Don’t be afraid; everything will be okay.”
Hearing that, Iritellis quickly leaned her head on his shoulder, greedily inhaling his masculine scent.
Although she was also very scared, when she hugged Lathel tightly, she was no longer afraid. On the contrary, it seemed like a strange feeling was gradually appearing inside her.
Very warm, very safe, and also very wonderful. A kind of feeling that made Iritellis want to stay like this forever.
Arine was the same; her face was red. However, the place was so dark that nothing could be seen, so Lathel couldn’t see Arine’s face right now.
Arine greedily inhaled Lathel’s scent, thinking about many things: ‘Finally… in this life, I can be hugged by you, protected by you.’
‘In my previous life, I have never been hugged by you like this. In this life… you will definitely be mine. I won’t let you disappear like before.’
‘That bitch, Selvia, no… that bitch, Amleth… I will definitely make that b*tch die in pain.’
Lathel did not know what these two women were thinking at this time. He only felt that they seemed to be hugging him even tighter. They even seemed to want to put their entire bodies on him.
‘Are they this scared? Strange… it’s just a big explosion; what’s the need to be so scared?’
‘Women are very confusing.’
