Chapter 413 - Upgraded Volcano Field (2) (1/2)

Auron had escaped from the monster's encirclement. However, right now, he was in an awkward situation.

During the previous situation, Auron was anxious when Julia got hit by the fireball and got surrounded by the monsters. Emotions started to take over his mind and made him did what he already did.

Right now, after everything was calming down, Auron also started to wonder why he did that. If he thought it carefully, Julia was not in a perilous situation. Even if Auron didn't do what he did, he believed that Julia could still escape the case even though she had to sacrifice some points on his vest's health.

Now, because of his actions, his secret was revealed. Although it was only to one person, this was a player. If Julia decided to leak Auron's secret, he would be a wanted man to all of the players.

Not only that, as a player, no matter how many times Auron killed Julia, but it also could not stop her from leaking Auron's secret. Moreover, at this point, Auron could not kill Julia.

Auron gasped at Julia's question. He didn't want to answer, but he could not escape this situation without doing anything. Meanwhile, Julia kept looking at Auron with a curious look.

”I... I...” Auron stuttered.

Julia had known that the mage in front of her was a player. However, she actually was not a greedy person. She knew that everyone had a secret. Even she had a secret that she kept herself.

Actually, Julia was not asking Auron to say his secret, she just asked out of curiosity. If Auron decided not to answer her question, she would not pursue further. Sadly, Auron didn't know this, though.

Auron was thinking hard on how to answer this question. Should he answer truthfully, or should he evade the question?

In the end, Auron answered shortly, ”I just did.”

Then, silence permeated between those two. Auron was sweating, waiting whether Julia would press him with another question or not. Meanwhile, Julia stared at Auron.

After a minute, Julia relaxed, ”Okay. You have your secret. If you don't want to answer, that's fine. I was just curious.”

Hearing that sentence, Auron breathed a relieved sigh. Then, he heard Julia's second question, ”Thank you for saving me, but why do you save me? I could escape that previous situation by sacrificing 5 or 6 health.”

Another question that Auron could not answer. He sweated profusely. Auron's eyes began to look around as he was thinking about the answer. He also didn't know why he acted that way.

”Ha... Ha... Ha...” Julia giggled, seeing Auron's reaction.

”Relax a bit. You don't have to answer it if you don't want to. Anyway, thank you for helping me.” Julia thanked Auron once again.

”How is your quest's progress?” Julia asked.
