Chapter 205: *We missed the best part*
Her personal guards, who had tried to help her, were all dead, pierced by those chains, and as for her, she could feel them wrapping themselves around her, the same way snakes wrap themselves around their prey to suffocate them.
Lilith was foaming with rage; she had never been so humiliated. But she didn’t have time to utter any other threats against this Warrior Spirit, who had appeared out of nowhere, because she saw the ice spike surrounded by silver lightning and a bright green light coming straight at her.
Being completely immobilized, she couldn’t avoid this attack, and before being killed by this ice spike, she thought that because of the water and lightning elements mixed together and their effect of paralysis, her body would take longer to generate. Not to mention these particles of light that would poison her body; she was so screwed.
Just before the ice spike hit her, she let out a howl of fury that made everyone in that purple dungeon fall to their knees, all except Kevin, of course. And when she was finally killed by the ice spike that lodged in the middle of her forehead, the pressure she had exerted on everyone dissipated immediately, and the transdimensional portal disappeared along with the golden mark on Kevin’s face.
Axel managed to catch Kevin before he fell face down, and after this scary fight of a Warrior Spirit against a Goddess, the fight in this room was finally going to be able to begin. Alan and Erik arrived just then, and Alan said to his man, "Sweetheart, I feel like we missed the best part."
Kevin was again unconscious in Axel’s arms, which meant that he had killed the threat to them, but then why was the room still filled with Elementaries, and even the dungeon boss still alive?
Erik said to him, smiling with an axe in each of his hands, "I think you’re right, my love; we must have missed a good show... But now it’s time to level up."
Liam immediately joined them to protect them, as Ian had just asked him to, and he was careful not to kill any Elementaries until Alan or Erik had hit them first.
When Alan saw that Ian was staying close to Axel and Kevin and that he was serving Axel Elementaries ready to be killed so that he could gain experience points too, he turned his attention back to his own fight. Although Liam was there and made sure none of them got hurt, he never strayed far from Erik.
These Elementaries were well above Erik’s current level, and although, with his combat intelligence skill, he was able to get away with it, he couldn’t help but worry about him and intervene from time to time by casting spells to counter those of the Elementaries and provide him with an opportunity to strike.
Thanks to Kevin, they all knew they only had to hit them in the sternum to kill them, and after a fight that lasted an hour, all that was left was the Lightning Elementary, which Ian had immediately held down with his own spell when Kevin’s lianas had dispersed after he had passed out.
Erik, who had just leaned against the wall, collapsed to the ground panting and drenched in sweat, and when Alan arrived, worried, he saw that despite the fatigue, Erik had a radiant smile plastered on his face, and he shook his head helplessly.
He looked at him with a smile and lifted his chin so that Erik could look him in the eye, and then he said to him, "Sweetheart, you’ve dazzled me; the progress you’ve made is truly sensational."
Erik smiled at him, happy to hear his man complimenting him, but he said nothing because he was still struggling to catch his breath. He just made him understand with a nod to go join Ian and Axel to finish off the boss of the dungeon.
Ian, who didn’t know if the Lightning Elementary could still use black flames mixed with his own spells, didn’t risk releasing him. He told Alan and Axel that it was better to execute him like that because this time Kevin was out of action, and he wouldn’t be there to save them a third time.
They both nodded in complete agreement with Ian and pierced the dungeon boss’s sternum with their artifact swords.
When the dungeon boss was eliminated, he left behind three large silver crystals and two smaller and brighter ones. Alan couldn’t contain his curiosity, so he grabbed one of each and handed them to Axel, saying, "If you put them in your inventory, can you check how many lightning particles they hold?"
Axel, who had the two crystals in his hand, said to Alan honestly, "No idea, but I can try."
Axel opened the system and instead of choosing the inventory, he went directly to the Store and selected Buy.
[ ITEM ]
Lightning crystal, high grade, large size: contains 100,000 lightning particles, worth 200,000 gold coins. Do you want to sell it? Yes / No?
[ ITEM ]
Lightning crystal, legendary grade, small size: contains 200,000 lightning particles, worth 400,000 gold coins. Would you like to sell it? Yes / No?
Axel chose no for both crystals, and he told Alan what he had just learned. He saw his friend’s smile widen as he said, "With this, Kevin won’t be stressed about filling Lightning Talisman papers for our future weapons; we have all we need to craft them now."
Liam then asked curiously, "Your future weapons?"
Alan looked at Axel, and Axel finally said to Liam, "You will understand when we open the legendary grade box that Kevin wins when we loot dungeons."
Liam nodded, not insisting any further, and instead asked him for his magic bag. He told him, "Take care of Kevin, and you, Alan, you should go take care of your man too. Maybe you should give him one of Ashton’s remedies; I think he needs it. He really pushed his limits very far to be able to fight until the end... In fact, I really thought that he was going to collapse before. Ian and I will take care of picking up anything of value here; all of you can rest in the meantime."
They both nodded again, and a remedy materialized instantly in Axel’s hand. He passed it to Alan, who took it without hesitation and immediately went straight to Erik without saying a word.
He was hesitating to give another remedy to Kevin, but the one he had drunk earlier was still working, so it was better to wait. After all, Kevin wasn’t hurt; he was probably just very tired. So he asked Ian, who had returned to his human form, to explain exactly what had happened, and Ian, now that there was no more danger, told them everything.
