Chapter 127 - Her Her & Her 3 (1/2)
Chapter 127 - Her Her & Her (3)
The strange adventures of the three women were on cruise control afterwards.
“Rei!”
“Land of Ice.Restrain my enemies.”
“Hoo-ooooohp.Divine!Eh-ee!Boom!”
[Ggoo-ohhhhhhhhh!]
Glacia’s notoriety was well earned.Not all Dungeons contained monsters like the large snake.However, it was full of monsters over level 200.These types of monsters rarely appeared in the human realm.
Even if Etna’s contribution was large in these battles, Sienna and Regina went through a significant amount of growth.It had been only 1 week since they had teamed up with Etna, but Regina and Sienna had easily pushed past level 280.Another 10 days passed before they pushed past level 290.Currently, Sienna was level 295 and Regina was level 292.
[Kah······ Kah-ha-ahhhhhhhhhh!]
“Hoo-ooh.Let’s take a break.”
After a fierce battle that lasted an hour, they were finally able to kill the level 310 Ice Giant.Etna stretched her arms as she yawned.She declared a break.
“Yes, unni.”
“Agreed.I need to recharge my magical energy.”
As soon as Etna’s words ended, Sienna and Regina fell to the Dungeon floor.They leaned against each other as they sat.Afterwards, Sienna’s stomach growled.
“We ate not too long ago.”
“W...we moved around too much.Also, I’m in my growth period!”
Sienna’s cheeks turned red as she yelled out an excuse.Then she checked her belongings.She took out a long black stick.Etna and Regina tilted their heads in confusion.
“Sienna, are you perhaps going to eat that?”
“Ominous energy.”
“The leg of an Ancient Kraken was sliced thinly, and it was dried into a jerky.Do you want to give it a try?”
“Ancient Kraken······.”
“Brave girl.”
“It’s tasty.”
Why weren’t they willing to acknowledge this fact?
Sienna had such thoughts as she chewed on the jerky.Roa had drained all the Demonic energy from the Ancient Kraken’s tentacle, and Artpe had used a specialized spell to dehydrate it.It was a bit tough, but the meat wouldn’t go bad for 100 years.It contained a lot of nutrients and Mana, so it was the ideal snack to consume within a Dungeon.
When Artpe made it, he seriously wondered if there would come a day when they would have to eat it.Sienna was currently eating it to quell her hunger…..
“Heeeeee.I miss oppa…….”
“A person becomes like this when one become involved with Artpe.You should be aware of this information…...”
“You don’t look like it, but you are capable of acting quite spoiled.”
Sienna’s level was increasing smoothly, but she hadn’t met Artpe in a very long time.Her withdrawal symptoms were getting quite severe.
Still, she was hungry.Her nose ran as she earnestly chewed on the Kraken’s tentacle.Sienna looked pitiable and cute at the same time.Regina was blankly staring at Sienna when she realized that something in her possession was vibrating.
“······communication arrived.Caller is Artpe.”
“What!?”
Sienna moved at the speed of lightning as she snatched the communication device away from Regina.Regina looked a little bit sad.Sienna ignored her as she spoke into the communication device.
“Oppa, when are you coming!”
[I’ll be there in a day.Did you find the ruin?]
“Hoo-oooooh.I miss you.Please get here quickly.”
[I see.You haven't found it yet.All right.I’ll get there as soon as possible.]
This was how the communication came to an end.Sienna handed over the communication device to Regina.She looked blankly at Sienna.Regina didn’t say anything, but she kept slapping Sienna’s back.Sienna finally realized that she had been selfish.
“I...I’m sorry.It seems Rei also wanted to talk to him.”
“I deny it.I deny Sienna too.”
“You are denying me!?”
“Deny.Deny.”
“Wait a moment!Hurts!It hurts!”
“······I see.Artpe will be here tomorrow?”
The friendship between Sienna and Regina deepened as they exchanged fists.Etna quietly mumbled to herself as she raised her head.
“If I don’t find it fast…..”
“Ah.”
Sienna finally realized something.If Artpe came here, he would come face to face with Etna.Etna had declared something in the past.She said she won’t cede the sculpture unless Artpe showed up.If Artpe came here…...
“I have to find it quickly before Artpe arrives!”
“You’ll come face to face with him eventually!”
“I know, but there is a difference if I find it first!Even if it is Artpe, I cannot give up on that statue!I’m sorry, but I cannot support your growth anymore!I’m ending it right now!”
“Aht!Unni!Don’t go ahead of us!”
Etna was feeling desperate now, and Sienna was trying to delay her for a day.The two of themtossed and turned as they ran deeper into the Dungeon.Regina let out a light sigh as she looked at them from the back.She had no choice.She followed after the two idiots.
“Uh? Look over there!”
It was the promised day.In just a day, they had completed three Dungeons.(Regina and Sienna was only able to kill one monster.)Sienna spoke animatedly.Etna was racing across the frozen land towards the next Dungeon when she came to a halt.
She raised her head to see what was wrong, and her eyes widened a little bit.A fog, which was heavy with moisture, was emanating from the land around them.
“Isn’t that steam?”
“Part of the ground is melting.”
At Regina’s supplementary words, the three of them look at each other.
“Is this perhaps…….”
“Does this mean spring is almost here······?”
The three of them felt an urgency.It didn’t matter who had the rights to the Artifact.Such a worry was secondary to actually finding the Artifact!Their steps quickened, and the steam thickened the more steps they took!At this point, they finally realized that something was wrong.
“Unni, is this perhaps······.”
“What is it?I’m in a hurry!If I don’t quickly find the ruin, part of this land will disappear!”
