13 Keis Dilemma (1/2)

'A corrupted Dungeon Core?'

Kei frowned as he listened to Grandma Sophie's explanation. The sad and pitiful voice that was asking for help was still fresh in his mind.

{I know what you're thinking, but it's too late,} Grandma Sophie said. {For now, focus your attention on escaping the dungeon.}

The pleading voice spoke again and Kei clenched his fist in frustration. He knew that grandma Sophie was right, but the voice filled with suffering and pain was so heartbreaking that he had the urge to turn back and look for the dungeon core.

As if understanding his thoughts the ring on his hand vibrated.

Grandma Sophie sighed, {Child, there are things that you can change, and things that you can't.}

'I understand Grandma Sophie.'

It didn't take long before the adventurers reached the exit of the dungeon. They flew towards the portal and appeared at the surface. What they saw outside gave them hope.

A defensive line by all the guilds of Amaranth could be seen from in front of the city wall. The guild masters were surprised to see more survivors escape from the dungeon. Jack, the guildmaster of the Harkon Brigade was overjoyed to see that Nick and Arnold were safe.

Kei and the adventurers landed on the city walls. The effect of the spell [Zephyr] wore off the moment they landed.

”Nick! Arnold!” Jack hugged the two of them with unrestrained joy.

Kei smiled at the touching reunion and glanced at the two other guildmasters of Amaranth. The two of them were looking at him with admiration. He thought that they were just overwhelmed by how handsome he was, and decided to turn a blind eye to their respectful gazes.

Kei looked at Jack and made an inquiry, ”Did you inform the Duke?”

”Yes, the army of Windsor is on it's way.”

”Mmm, that's good.”

Kei scanned the members of the different guilds of Amaranth and frowned. He didn't need to be a genius to know that this line-up would not be able to hold the monsters at bay for long.

Jack saw the concern on his face and sighed, ”I wish that we could have met each other at a much earlier time, handsome young master of Ravencourt.”

”Oh, you know of me?”

”Of course, your fame spreads far and wide in the Eastern Federation.”

Nick and Arnold were dumbfounded at this sudden discovery. They glanced at each other and shook their heads helplessly. To think that their target was the famed 'handsome young master' of Ravencourt. Even if they had thousands of men in their battalion, they wouldn't dare touch a single strand of hair on his body.

Capture one of the Overlords of the Federation? Couldn't you choose a less painful way to die? This was the thought that was going through their heads as they looked at the famous young master of Ravencourt.

Noticing that the two were staring at him, Kei smiled and gave them a wink. Nick and Arnold smiled like two idiots that had just received a pardon from the Gods.

Arnold glared at Nick as if saying 'You bastard, just wait until all of this is over, and I promise not to skin you alive!'

Nick returned his glare with an innocent look as if saying ”Bro, don't look at me like that ah! I didn't know ah! I was not informed ah!'

”GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!”

The loud screech of the Bakunawa coming from the dungeon snapped everyone to attention. The magicians began to chant their spells in preparation for the battle. The guildmasters returned to their posts and gave out orders. Everyone was looking at the entrance of the dungeon with bated breath.

”Handsome young master, your orders?” Tifa stood on his left side, and Milfa positioned herself at his right. The two of them waited for their master's order.
