A Blade Made of Slime

Chapter 14: Aftermath

Despite Fran offering to put the demon's corpse in my Stomach, Donadrond rejected it and carried it out of the dungeon himself.

Before we left with Donadrond, we took a look at the Dungeon Master's corpse and decided to loot what was on it. There was that special wristband that allowed a person to come back from the dead which was definitely useful. Although I didn't understand how exactly this thing would work. Regardless I absorbed it into my Stomach while the two waited outside the dungeon room.

<Notice. Attempting to decipher the revival mechanism of the Bracelet of Sacrifice.>

Seems like Great Sage couldn't immediately figure out how it worked either.

Oh well... I absorbed the Dungeon Master's corpse before we began to head out.

"Took you a while, got your belongings in order."

"Nn. Yeah."

Thankfully they weren't questioning what we were doing there and Great Sage didn't detect that they were trying to peek at us so everything was in order.

We began making our way out with Donadrond. It seemed like he was barely struggling though as he lugged the giant demon corpse about. While we were walking through the dungeon, Donadrond kept stating that this was indeed our kill for some reason but he wasn't letting us carry it in me.

Did he think we would keep it for ourselves? Was it that valuable?

Regardless of the reason, he carried it out and soon we made it out through the entrance of the dungeon.

"Look! It's the Greater Demon!"

"They killed it!"

"Look at that thing... it's so shriveled up..."

Looking around, there were slightly more goblin corpses than there were when we first entered. I could only guess that some goblins returned to the cave only to be slain by the adventurers that stayed out here.

Although thankfully no one out here sustained any major injuries judging by how all of them were mostly fine and healthy.

The adventurers all gathered around Donadrond and began asking all sorts of questions.

"How did you kill it?"

"Was it that tough?"

"Was Kral really a wuss or was it really that terrifying?"

Most people had assumed it was Donadrond that killed it. It wasn't until he began telling the story that people learned of the true killer of the demon.

"She... killed it?"

"Nn."

"With the help of her master?"

"Nn."

Everyone seemed mostly confused but Elevent backed up Donadronds claims that "Yes, Fran did kill it".

It seemed like quite a few believed it since Fran was witnessed going around absolutely decimating entire hordes of goblins by herself.

Everyone began making their way back to Alessa by packing up the camp. The camp's structure was left behind since they would need to work on getting the Dungeon Core up and running in the future since it could provide materials.

One of those would certainly work perfectly in the dungeon we built in Tempest.I could imagine the cash rolling in from it... ah... right... First I need to square things away with Fran.

I took a look at what Fran was up to and she was mostly helping out with loading the crates back onto the wagons we used to carry everything here. Although there was a lot more to put onto the wagons than when we came here.
