Chapter 83: Aftermath.

  Alisa was overly concerned with Celia, despite not knowing why. While the teenager was healed, even having her MP restored, Celia’s clothes were in tatters.

  Alisa: “Celia, put my clothes on. Although, they aren’t your style…” She suggested, taking her clothes off.

  Celia: “Thanks, but I have more clothes in my storage ring. Besides, yours wouldn’t fit me.” She denied in an awkward tone, embarrassed at seeing Alisa in only her lingerie.

  Alisa: “(/ />/ A /
  The noble wasn’t thinking clearly. Other than noticing another person in the dungeon, Alisa mainly approached Celia due to her attire. Wearing a regal dress, while exploring and fighting in a dungeon… was unique. Alisa was wearing expensive, though average, Adventurer attire. That being pants like jeans, and an armored chest piece.

  Celia: “Um… please turn around.” She requested with a red face.

  Alisa: “R-right!” She stuttered out, turning around as fast as she could.

  A Bit Later.

  Celia used Cleaning Magic on herself and Alisa, who also got drenched in dark liquid from the fight, even though she was caged. There was just too much discomfort in letting Alisa stay unclean, as Celia had no way of knowing if it was her blood, or that monster’s, on her partner.

  You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

  Celia: “Alisa, why haven’t we been teleported back to the dungeon? The boss has been killed…” She asked with a confused thinking pose.

  Alisa: “Why? Because… because… Ah, we have to destroy the dungeon core!” She replied with an unsure tone before her brain started working again, and Alisa came up with the answer.

  Relieved, as Celia was worried that the boss had tricked her, and wasn’t actually dead, she relaxed her aching muscles. Regardless of being healed, Celia’s body was in immense pain, which won’t go away until she sleeps for a few days.

  Alisa: “Celia, you rest and check your Status. Killing a Level 16,000… would surely give you a lot of Exp!… I’ll go find the core.” She proposed with a caring tone and expression.

  Celia: “…Alright, please do.” She agreed in reply, feeling drained of all her energy.

  Celia then sat down on a broken collum (this arena was like a Roman coliseum), weary to the highest extent. She spoke out for Ruina, but received no response. Bored, Celia watched as Alisa scrambled around, searching for their way out.

  Celia: “Status.” She said with a lazy tone in her mind.

  Celia: “??????”

  In truth, Celia didn’t gain any Exp from killing Xena’s Nightmare, due to the fixes in place. But with it dead, Xena could interact with Celia again.

  If the girl was destined to cheat her way to power, regardless of how Xena tried to restrict her… then the Will was willing (heh) to give a treat to Celia every now and again.

  Alisa: “Celia, I found it!” She shouted with a smile, calling the young girl over.

  Celia: “Hm? It looks like a crystal ball, but filled with red… liquid. Creepy…” She voiced with disgust upon seeing the core.

  Alisa: “They’re always unsightly… Anyway, you can have the honors, Celia.” She offered, beaming an honest and real smile.

  Celia: “Okay, thank you.” She replied with her own genuine smile.

  Shatter!
