YLTESCIA: A Reincarnator's Tale in the Lands of Merusia (3)

Chapter 445: Sweet and Sappy Shenanigans

WHOOSH WHOOSH Whoosh Whoosh whoosh....

The winds blew and the dust soon settled. The once raging storm was now calm, the air softly bouncing up and down as they wafted through the Boss Room, sweeping by the craters and settling by the large ravines formed by the intense, recent fight.

Two figures stood in such deafening silence, heaving lengthy sighs and gazing into the distance, their clear eyes filled with nostalgia, looking back when they first entered the Boss Room. The once beautiful scenery was now in tatters and ruins.

It has been a month since Grey and Yuna first fought the Sovereign Arflus, and time passed by like a flash in the blink of an eye. Now, neither the room nor the Boss is present, only memories lingering around. It was difficult yet memorable times.

"Mmn... It feels a little lonely now. It wanted to fight more too..." ［Yuna］

"Don't be too sad now. Even if we didn't defeat the Boss today, it would still despawn sooner or later. It would be able to resist the deactivation of the Labyrinth," ［Grey］

"Still, it was a good fighter... It even reached Catastrophe-Class for a short while. Did you know it could do that too, Grey?" ［Yuna］

"Not at all. I was pretty surprised myself." ［Grey］

"Right～? I wonder when we can fight such a powerful opponent again." ［Yuna］

Even then, Grey and Yuna were pretty happy to have crossed strikes and spells with the Sovereign Arflus. It may be a terrifying monster without any shred of mercy nor conscience, but it was also the reason they could leap in bounds in strength.

Moreover, it was also because of it that they were able to test their limits and see just how far they could go and learn a couple tricks. Had the experience lasted a couple more months, Grey and Yuna would have been able to get much stronger.

"Hm? Have you forgotten how powerful your fiancé is already, Yuna? You could always ask me for training, you know?" ［Grey］

"No way! Your abilities are absolutely broken! And you never go easy on me even though I'm your fiancée! It's too unfair!" ［Yuna］

"You're the last person I want to hear that from, My Dear. And it's training, after all. One should always give their best! Isn't that right?" ［Grey］

"No way! You always bully me!" ［Yuna］

"Hmm... Is it still a no even if I offer you some sweets?" ［Grey］

"Uuu... You meanie... Stop teasing me already..." ［Yuna］

A scene of ruin, devastation, and fierce competition, now turned sweet and sappy with flowers, hearts, and sparkles floating in the air. The ruined and tattered Boss Room was painted pink and heart, sweetness drifting in the air.

The flitting continued and Grey teased Yuna some more. The young lady's face had become flushed and red, all the way to the tip of her pointy ears as Grey flooded her heart with elation and exhilaration. She was both happy and embarrassed.

All the flirty shenanigans aside, Grey and Yuna proceeded to head where the Boss fell, not a single trace of its ragged body left. All there was were a couple drops, each worth billions of kiels at the very least.

As usual, there was a mana crystal worth at least 20 billion kiels. Then there were 3 "Cosmic Storm Crystals" which were very valuable materials that can be made into Legendary-Grade items, and also a single "Spark of Origin".

"Ohh～! Those are pretty good items, aren't they? Can I have a Cosmic Storm Crystal, Grey? I want to test something with them." ［Yuna］

"For alchemy, right? Sure, go ahead. I can't really make Legendary-Grade items yet anyway. You can have all three of them." ［Grey］
