Chapter 688 (1/2)

Chapter 688

There are safe areas on every floor and in every dungeon .

Inside these safe areas, monsters won’t appear . If they do sp.a.w.n outside the area, players who are inside won’t suffer any damage . These rest areas serve as resting spots for players to catch their breaths .

Wu Yan sighed for the nth time . He’s not hiding how upset he is . Finally, Asuna got annoyed .

“Hey, you, are you really that disappointed?”

Asuna said with a pout .

“I know it’s very lucrative to kill the boss but it’s not like you need to Cors or drops, right?”

“The reward is secondary…”

Wu Yan said with a dejected look .

“You don’t understand what it feels like to have your just rewards taken away from you every time because you’re a bit late to the party…”

“You’re making me sound like the villain here…”

Asuna said with arms akimbo .

“We are all a team here, all of us want to clear the floors . Who cares if you don’t kill the boss, the raid group isn’t your enemy!”

“Yes…”

“Stop mopping around!”

Asuna pinched the meat at his waist and she gave them a nice squeeze .

“Yowch!”

Wu Yan howled in pain .

“Are you trying to kill me?! Your move won’t reduce my HP but it still hurts!”

“Stop mopping around then!”

Asuna grumbled .

“I want the Yan who circ.u.mvented Post-Motion and smacked the c.r.a.p out of labyrinth monsters back!”

“I can do that just fine…”

Wu Yan retorted . He glanced at Asuna and he started using a sweet tone .

“Say, Asuna, let me probe the boss, just a bit…”

“Nope . ”

Asuna replied without a pause .

“That’s very dangerous!”

“In what way?! You know what I can do…”

Wu Yan forced a smile onto his face, he’s not the one with the most negotiating power right now, he has to be courteous or this deal could go bust .

“Look, I took care of the 72nd floor Boss, didn’t I?!”

“I don’t doubt your abilities…”

Asuna lowered her head, she continued with a heavy tone .

“What if something unexpected happens?”

Asuna is practically the leader of the raid group, it’s not her first rodeo dealing with uncertainties . She knows how the most prepped raid team can suffer casualties due to negligence or small errors .

Asuna knows that Wu Yan is strong, she can only chase in vain after his giant back . Deep in her heart, she’s afraid that all this would be taken away from her in a heartbeat . He’s the one who changed her, calmed her down, made her food, got her to chill, and, most importantly, made her laugh again . She’s terrified at the thought of Wu Yan’s death .

Asuna just couldn’t imagine what she would do if that happens .

Wu Yan’s smile dimmed down when he noticed her low vibe . He sighed and he pulled her hand up .

Asuna flinched and she looked at him only to find Wu Yan’s familiar smile .

“Don’t worry!”

Wu Yan said with a very convincing tone .

“I won’t die!”

Asuna’s eyes wavered . She looked down at the hand grabbing her and she responded with a firm handshake .

“Okay, it’s a promise between us…”

Wu Yan shook his head with a chortle .

“Sure, sure, it’s a promise then…”

“You better not be lying to me…”

“Who am I?!”

Wu Yan puffed out his chest .

“Do I look like someone who can’t keep his promise?”

Asuna giggled . She placed his hands on her chest .

“You’re the Fae Swordsman, the strongest player in the world . Of course, you’re not a fool who can’t keep his promise…”
