Chapter 13 Part3 (2/2)

”This door doesn't look like it's locked,” I said

Torepo tried the door and it opened sloith the loud sound of scraping metal Inside it was pitch black

[ Torepo cast Light! ]

A light appeared on Torepo's palm

”Must… search… dungeon…”

I thought calling this a dungeon was a little extreht lit up so hallway ant to be just a basement Francoise was bound to be prettydown here?

We started walking down the passage and before long so towards us from the other end

[ A Mortal Ghost as appeared! HP 332 ]

This was a ghost-typeit fro everything else froh to co by, and suddenly attacked

[ Mortal Ghost cast Darkness! ]

A darkall of us Roel and Torepo, taken by surprise, didn't prepare a counter in time and took the hit

[ Roel received 32 dae! HP 31/63 ]

[ Torepo received 22 dae! HP 74/96 ]

[ Ryua received no dae! HP 37,363/40,463 ]

I wasn't able to protect Roel in tie I caused myself earlier that still hadn't been healed Torepo was quickly chanting a counterattack

[ Torepo cast Blaze Shot! ]

A mass of flames crashed into the Mortal Ghost It let out a roar as it burst into fla there, seely unharmed

[ Mortal Ghost received 82 dae! HP 250/332 ]

As if to taunt us, it rattled its bones and gestured to coain

”Strong… despite… weakness… fire…”

I didn't really think Torepo's ic was very effective, but she drew back to start her chanting over again Roel was casting a heal to cure Torepo's wounds The Mortal Ghost raised both its hands above its head and moved to attack Torepo It probably would have hit, but I had already struck it

It was kind of gross, but I landed a direct shot to its head, which burst into pieces as I followed up with a kick to its rib cage I thought the bones were going to scatter all over the place, but instead they started to slowly disappear until they were coone

[ Ryua attacks! Mortal Ghost received 3,879 dae! ]

[ Mortal Ghost has been defeated! HP 0/332 ]

”Finally, a normal monster,” I said

I felt relieved While I couldn't see Torepo's whole expression because of her clothes, her eyes ide She was mid-cast, but had stopped to stand there and stare at otten ht of going to get it, but I was afraid of losing that ghost ere following And because of that little girl, I had actually started to feel kind of uneasy alone

”Ryua… what… are you?”

I had no idea how to answer that so I just ignored it What was I? What kind of a question was that? Though, I guess since I didn't have any living relatives left, I could be whatever I wanted But I was just happy to go on adventures along with Roel Looking at her, I s repeatedly

”If another one of those shows up it's going to be a real pain,” I said, even though it wasn't entirely true ”Let's keep going”

I wondered if Torepo would actually believe me if I told her what happened to me in the Caverns, but I decided she probably wouldn't More i to that little girl before, so if so else like her appeared I wasn't sure what I would do

It sees I didn't understand about the outside world All I wanted was to get this commission done and learn whatever we could from it I decided not to worry too much about what I didn't know, and focus on whatever was next
