Chapter 98 - Axel's Mentor

When Axel saw that they were stunned by his words he then said to them : “Kevin explained to me that in his past life, everyone who had been close to him all ended up running away from him because they were too scared of him, it traumatized him a bit … I think …

So, like he is just starting to trust people again, and you are his first and only friends so far, so just be careful not to open up his old scars.”

Alan and Erik nodded, they understood better now, Erik said to him to reassure him : “I won’t talk about it, don’t worry.”

Axel smiled and asked them again : “So, what happened ? Did Kevin manage to kill the Elite Warrior Vampire ? And how did we get back here ?”

Erik said to Alan to tell him what had happened in the boss room of the dungeon and he started to make them a big breakfast, he was hungry, and Alan and Axel had to be hungry too, especially Axel who had missed two meals yesterday.

Alan explained to him what had happened, that Kevin had stabbed himself so he could use his Warrior Spirit skill, and after that, the Elite Warrior Vampire had had no chance against him, same after taking a special small black pill that had made him much stronger than before.

He also told him about the mark that had appeared on his forehead but without going into details, he said to him that he would tell him more when Kevin would be waken up.

He then described to him how Kevin had taken his time to kill the Elite Warrior Vampire and how he had tortured him before his death.

And Axel was surprised to learn that it was also Kevin who had opened a teleportation portal and brought them all back here, in front of their pavilion.

Erik joined them with the breakfast when Alan was telling him that Kevin had passed out just after crossing the teleportation portal, and that he was clutching 3 bloodstones with golden veins on them in his hands.

He has supposed that they must have belonged to the Elite Warrior Vampire.

He also told him what he had said to Ian this morning and what Erik had said to the instructors so they could all tell the same story if ever they asked them.

Axel knew that Alan would have found a plausible explanation for everyone, so it was all for the best.

He thanked them both warmly and apologized for putting them in danger yesterday.

He was blaming himself terribly, he had been too arrogant, and if anyone would have been seriously injured or killed he would have blamed himself his whole life for that.

Erik told him the exact same thing as Alan : “Everyone is fine, there is no ifs to have, and we are all going to benefit a lot from it so there is no regrets to have.”

He added, because someone had to say it out loud : “But next time, maybe it will be better just to think twice before going inside a purple dungeon.

Seeing how it has worn Kevin out to use his Warrior Spirit skill, we shouldn’t be relied upon it … At least, not before that he hasn’t become strong enough to be able to use it without losing consciousness afterwards.”

Alan and Axel both nodded and Axel then said : “It’s not like we’re going to run into a purple dungeon on every one of our expeditions, but just in case it happens to us again, this time we will stay away from it, dungeons with blue vortex will do just fine for now on.”

Alan agreed with him and said : “Indeed, right now it’s enough … Erik can now, thanks to you, participate in two expeditions per week with the Sun Sect, and if the weekend we take the opportunity to loot some blue dungeons he will progress very quickly.
