Chapter 30 - A Sealed Girl! (1/2)

In a place, where no light should exist except the light produce by special ores inserted in the walls. But right now, it was brightly illuminated with light. It was not the light produced by special ores on the walls but a light produce by crimson colored flames that were burning all that came in contact with it. The place was filled with nothing but corpses of different monsters, strong enough that anyone of them could be called a behemoth if left free in the outside world.

In the center of all these corpses, stood a beautiful woman. She looked like a goddess of fire, wrapped in fire herself or the fire was coming from her. She took a deep breath as white smoke was released from her mouth indicating her body temperature was either too low or too high.

”You are getting better at controlling flames, Yue'er” Wang Lei, who was standing away from Qingyue, concealing his presence as not to let the monster see him, said.

”Not as good as you, brother” Qingyue said, humbly.

”It doesn't matter. You will get to that point sooner or later.' Wang Lei said. They have been exploring deeper into this dungeon for a week now. This week, Wang Lei has hardly killed any monster. He let Qingyue kill all the monsters but not with ice but to let her practice other elements. He didn't want to hurry and enjoy the whole process but the bigger reason was that the more time she used to fire the more familiar she would become with it. She was at level 3 in her fire control and if his guess was right then 10 should be the max level.

”Should we collect the bodies?” Qingyue asked. She has been curious as to why her brother has been collecting the bodies of these monsters.

”Yeah, I will collect them,” Wang Lei said as a golden ripple appeared below everybody, absorbing them.

”Let's go. I think we are almost on the hundredth floor!” Wang Lei said and started to walk with Qingyue.

With the same process, Qingyue taking care of the monsters, they continued their journey. After walking, for an hour, they reached a great door that had two humongous stone statues at its both sides as if guarding something inside. Wang Lei looked at the statues, curiously. 'Hm, isn't the place where FL of this world is sealed?'

”It feels like there is someone inside!” Qingyue said, surprised.

”To be more precise, someone is sealed in there,” Wang Lei said.

Qingyue was surprised. ”Why would they seal someone here?”

”Who knows? Maybe to protect”

”Protect…” Qingyue made a thinking face.

”Let's go and see it for ourselves,” Wang Lei said and walked towards the door. As he reached close to the door, the statue's eyes shone in red, and looked towards Wang Lei, who completely ignored them.

”I should-”. ”Wait!” Qingyue was about to kill them when she was stopped by Wang Lei.

He looked at the status and used <Analyze> on them and saw that they had about 3000 Mana each. 'Let's try it on these guys'. Wang Lei saw as the statue at the left took a great sword of about 10 meters and swing it towards him.

Seeing it coming towards him, Wang Lei gathered his energy and said, <Die>. As he said that, the statue that was swinging the sword, abruptly stooped. Cracks started to appear all over its body and before long it shattered in tiny pieces, dying. Wang Lei seeing it die glances at his Energy reserve and found out that about 1500 of his energy was used. 'About half the amount of the target, huh' He looked at the other statue and did the same as he again checks and found out that 1500 of his Energy again spent. With this, he could deduce that he needed about half the amount of the object he wanted dead to use it.

”Come let's go in,” Wang Lei said by turning the gate into dust. He looked inside and saw a large hall with pillars supporting the roof which was quite an unusual sight to see in the labyrinth.

”Is… is someone there?” He looked at the direction where the sound came from. There he could see a girl that looked to be in her 15, merged(?) or sunk in the wall. He could only see her face and nothing more.

”S… someone there? Please, please save me!” He looked at the girl that was pleading to be freed. He started to walk towards her while Qingyue was silently standing behind him, watching him attentively.

Wang Lei walked and stood in front of the girl, who looked towards him. ”Please, save me…”

”Ok!” Wang Lei said, nodding. Hearing it, the girl's eyes went wide. ”Are you not going to ask who I am… and why I was sealed here?”

”It doesn't matter.” Shaking his head Wang Lei and place his hands on the wall in which her body was sealed, <Melt>. With his words, the wall started to melt. By the time, the girl could process what was going on, her body detached from the wall and started to fall towards the ground but Wang Lei hugged her.

The girl silently looked towards him as tears started to gather around her eyes and she started to cry out loud. Wang Lei didn't say anything and just hugged her tighter while patting her head. After some time, the girl calmed down and sit on the floor. She looked towards Wang Lei and said, ”Thank you… thank you”

Wang Lei just smiled and pats her head, ”It's ok”

The girl looks towards him with her vacant eyes, ”What's your name?”

”Jian Wang Lei. You can call me Wang Lei and she is my-”. ”Wife! I am Qingyue, hubby's wife!” Before Wang Lei could finish, he was cut short by Qingyue. He shakes his head with an amused smile. ”What is yours?”

The girl shook her head, ”I don't have a name” She looked towards him and said, ”I want you to give me one”

”Me?” Wang Lei said pointing towards him. Qingyue was already standing behind him looking towards the nȧkėd girl.

The girl nodded, vigorously. ”Well… how about Yue. It represents Goddess of Moon from where I came from” Wang Lei said.

”Yue… Yue… hm! My name is Yue” Wang Lei looked at the girl- Yue who smiled happily like she was given a reason to live. He knew her past. First, he hadn't had any intention to specifically go and save her but let Hajime do that since he didn't want his first Vice-Guild master to be an emotionless murderer. But fate brought them towards this room since this room, normally one should not reach here but pass it and reach the next level. But he still ended up reaching here. Since he was already here then why not just save her.

Looking at, Yue, who even with her stoic expression was still smiling, Wang Lei snapped his fingers and some cloths appear in his hands. Passing it to Yue, he says ”You should wear something”

Yue, who heard him looked at her nȧkėd body and blushed. Speedily taking cloths from his hands she wears them. Looking towards him she says ”Wang Lei… pervert…”

Wang Lei smiled, ”Then…” Moving closer to her, as their lips were only about 1cm apart he says ”Want me to show what this pervert can do?” whispering he blows air at her ear.

Yue was blushing hard and didn't know how to answer until Qingyue pulls Wang Lei away, smiling she said ”Stop it, hubby. You're scaring her”

Wang Lei stared at Qingyue and kept staring at her, ”You acting quite unusually, Yue'er. Is there some matter that is bugging you? Or are you just jealous?” He said the last part smirking.

”Humph! Who is jealous? Why would I be jealous of a child?” Pouting and pointing her finger towards Yue she says.

Yue, who heard him said with her stoic expression, ”I am not a child! I am 23 years old!”

”323 to be exact!” Wang Lei said at which Qingyue was surprised and Yue was the same.

”How did you know!? I never told you!” Yue said, surprised. Though one could not tell that with her blank expression.

”You're a Vampire, right? And Vampire extinct 300 years ago while you're still alive. It only makes sense that you're more than 300 years old.” Wang Lei said but he knew her exact age because he was looking at her status.
