After hours of talking to Eva I discovered a lot about the Blood Demons, what surprised me was how much their willpower was able to withstand the insults and slander across the continent while maintaining their beliefs without ever giving in.
I was in awe of them, it reminded me that after being rescued they still chose to stay behind and fight the Undead along with the other sa Dungeons.
They really are a warrior people, but I’m surprised they don’t have aggressive Auras, their Auras in addition to the vitality they naturally possess, also contain calm and firmness that must be deeply ingrained in them.
But Eva who by her looks has clearly been through a lot of combat has a calm and glowing Aura in front of me.
The only thing I can think of for them to be like that is that they are a very positive people.
The reason they adore me so much was also obvious, but I asked anyway, the answer was that my Aura was magnificent to them, my presence filled their hearts with peace and a feeling of kneeling down to serve me.
She said that it wasn’t until later when she was able to talk to the Dungeon people and Vanessa that she learned more about me.
She insisted on saying that the Goddess Selene was too kind to send her own child to their rescue, she has no idea that I was chosen just for being the closest able to deal with this problem.

After hours of talking I was getting hungry and the appetizers were too light to satisfy my hunger.
I invited Eva to follow me and told Freya to warn everyone that I’m having a barbecue, it was just supposed to be something simple with the people in my group.
But I soon discovered that I was terribly wrong, we ended up having a big barbecue for the whole city that felt like a festival.
In the end, it became a celebration for the completion of the plan and High Priestess Yara joined the party alongside High Priest Henry. .
There was music, dancing, food, and a few other things I choose not to comment on, it seems like anything is an excuse for a party for the people of this dungeon.
The party lasted until dawn the next day, that’s just because the meat ran out, as well as the alcoholic drinks, after 2 big parties in a row for thousands of people with big stomachs there’s no stock of meat and alcohol to resist.

During the morning I left the Dungeon and went back to the paradise island that was still calm, a few people who left the party early were resting there, it seems that I was not the only one who thought about it.
I see Eva sitting under a tree looking up, her eyes were thoughtful and serious, not eyes you would expect to see if someone has just left a party.
“…” (Eve)
I walk over to her and sit next to her catching her attention, she is surprised to see it was me and she tried to get up in fright but I grabbed her shoulder to keep her in place just to make sure she wouldn’t kneel down on mine front again.
“Calm down, you just left a party, just relax.” (I)
“Alright…” (Eve)
She looked a little worried, but in the end, she accepted and did her best to try to relax again, but I think with me around it will be difficult.
“What were you thinking so seriously?” (I)
“About the future of my race, what others say doesn’t matter much to us, that’s because we always demonstrate who we are with our actions and we have many who know that on the continent.” (Eve)
“But the truth is that the mortality of my people is very high, our numbers decrease more every year, the oldest member among my people is only 600 years old, that is not even half the maximum age recorded for our race in our files.” (Eve)
“This time my entire race could have been wiped out…” (Eva)
“…” (Eve)
“As a leader and as a mother I want my people to prosper, I want my son to prosper and at the same time I don’t want to make a drastic decision…” (Eva)
“By drastic decision do you mean leaving this continent?” (I)
“Yes, our ancestors had their ashes scattered across this continent, we defended many innocent lives in reckless wars where those in power had only greed in their eyes, this is our homeland.” (Eve)
“I was going to ask this later, but why don’t you join us here at the Dungeon?” (I)
I had already considered something like this since I accepted this quest, I figured this could also be Goddess Selene’s will, but that would depend on my opinion of Blood Demons.
It will act that I know a little more about them, that I have seen what they can do in battle and have spoken with their leader, all I feel for them is admiration and respect for staying true to their beliefs in this way.
“We already have a place for you in the city, there are several other races that live here and your people won’t have to keep moving anymore, what do you think?” (I)
“But…but that means…” (Eve)
“It means leaving this continent sooner or later, I have no plans to stay here.” (I)
“It’s your decision, I just think you’ve done enough for this continent, you don’t have to answer now, think about it until the day you leave these islands.” (I)
“But be aware that being together with me means a lot of trouble, my luck is horrendous, I’m very impulsive with my curiosity and I’m always involved in other people’s problems or causing them problems.” (I)
“So don’t expect a peaceful life if you decide to follow me, but I guarantee you will always have the respect and loyalty of everyone in this dungeon, I will also expect the same from you and the rest of your people.” (I)
I stand up while Eva keeps a surprised face, what I had to say has already been said, now it’s up to her alone, my presence here will only influence her final decision, but what I want is an answer coming from her sincere beliefs.
After leaving her behind I threw myself into the waters of the lake for a swimming exercise, the water was so clear and refreshing that I couldn’t resist taking a dip.
But I was too distracted to notice the big monster inside the lake that swallowed me the moment I was walking backwards, it was a really bad surprise.
“DAMN LUCK!!!!!” (I)
