190 The End Of The Dungeon (2/2)
”Azure, what happened to the other party wearing cloaks?”
With his hair now back to the normal blue, Azure replied
”They were a bit troublesome to deal with, but they're gone.”
”Eh? You dealt with them?”
”Yeah, If they're prepared to take a life then they should be prepared to lose theirs.” Said Ayda
[So there was something fishy going on, but what...]
As if having read John's mind, before he could even say anything, Ariel asked the question
”What was their aim?”
”We're not sure, they refused to answer our questions, more importantly, you should probably start heading inside.” Said Azure as he pointed at the gate
Seeing this, the party turned to it as John asked
”Aren't you guys coming?”
��We'll go after. You four were the ones who have completed this dungeon, so according to the guild rules, all the treasures belong to you. We'll leave the dungeon before it collapses, and besides, we still have to go help that lady's party get out.” Said Azure
”Are you sure you'll be able to make it in time?” John asked
”Of course.” Azure replied with a smile
John was a little nervous and thought that Azure might be hiding something which is why he didn't want to go, but left it to just him being oversensitive again.
”Hm... Is there anything bad that we should expect after going through the gates?” Serena asked as she stared at Azure
[And there goes me being oversensitive]
”Not that I know of, there's a treasure room on the other side, along with the dungeon's core. But the moment you pass through the gate, the dungeon's core will stop functioning and the dungeon will collapse. If you want, you could even sell the cor-”
”That's not what I meant, most normal people would be dying to go through the gates if it contained treasure, are you sure your party doesn't want anything?” Serena asked
”I'd be lying if I said we didn't, but we have our pride as adventurer's. Taking someone else's reward is unnecessary, and we've conquered a dungeon recently so we're doing quite well on funds. The only thing to look forward to would be...”
Azure was interrupted by Ayda who said
”The rare magical items and the Sacred Treasure.”
She seemed very excited as she mentioned it, but quickly shook her head and recomposed herself when she noticed everyone staring at her.
”I-I See... Sorry, I was quick to assume things.” Said Serena
”It's fine, I'd do the same if I were in your shoes.” Said Azure
John felt a great sense of respect for Azure after everything, he planned to get him something as thanks for everything that he had done for them.
”Then, we'll be heading off, Hopefully we get to meet each other soon.” Said John as he waved at them
”Hopefully not...” Muttered Ayda
”Yeah, next time try not to lose control.” Said Kayla with a smile
The brown haired boy nodded and Azure said
”Yeah, next time let's spar. In was nice meeting you, John.”
John nodded as he said
”It was nice meeting you too, Azure.”
Before turning to the gate and walking through it.
Serena, Ariel and Master Sylvia all followed behind.
