Hero Of Harmony

Chapter 129: Road To Floor 15

"Tch, for the record, Lucy, people aren't just objects you can get rid of and replace whenever you see fit." Remarked Alexander with a frown as he eyed Lucy, who seemed slightly annoyed by his words.

"Hmph, their lives are only meant to service mine; they have no other use than that." Said Lucy with a scoff as she stared at Alexander while her party members grasped their weapons and eyed him.

Hearing her words, I gritted my teeth and looked away; I had a feeling if I kept speaking with her, we'd end up fighting, which wasn't something I wanted to do. Not only was I heavily outnumbered, but we were still inside the Adventurer's guild, and I wasn't trying to be temporarily banned for six months. So, I just closed my eyes and ignored her while waiting for Yukit to return, which seemed to anger her.

"I would've ignored your previous transgressions if you had prostrated yourself before me, but it seems like you and that stupid bastard Yuki are just a pair of fools." Remarked Lucy with a livid expression as she tightly held her staff while eyeing Alexander before looking away.

Watching Lucy and her party members leave, I sighed in relief; listening to her speak badly about Yuki greatly angered me, though thankfully, she left because if she had continued, I might've attacked her.

'Haa, keep a calm mind, Alexander.' Thought Alexander as he took several deep breaths, only to open his eyes when he heard that familiar thumping noise.

"They're gone?" Asked Yuki as she approached Alexander, who glanced at her while nodding.

"Yes; now, c'mon, let's go, Yuki. Though, just know, if you need to use the bathroom while we're in the dungeon, you're doing it in a corner; we're not leaving." Remarked Alexander seriously as he looked at Yuki before turning around and exiting the building while she closely followed behind.

"Eh? In the corner? Can you at least protect me?" Asked Yuki as she tilted her head before glancing at Alexander, who rubbed his head while nodding.

"Haa, yes." Muttered Alexander as he glanced at Yuki before shaking his head.

Dodging the creature's tongue, I dashed behind Yuki while she blocked the floor Guardian's attacks before leaping over her body and swinging Zartha while spinning in the air, launching a decently powerful wind blade, right for its leg, and as it wasn't a life-threatening attack, it didn't bother to dodge, causing a deep gash to cover its thigh.

"Tsk, I thought that would've sliced it's leg off." Muttered Alexander with a slight frown as he used [Air Jump] to do a backflip back over the guardian, attacking it once more.

With another wind blade, the injureGuardiannally fell off, prompting Yuki to suddenly rush forward, slamming her two shields into the monster; with its agility now significantly reduced, it wasn't able to move out of the way before it was crushed against the wall by Yuki, causing the entire cavern to tremble slightly.

"It's dead, right?" Asked Alexander curiously as he landed on the ground, resting Trina on his shoulder while Zartha scraped the rocky floor.

At my words, Yuki raised her dual shields and smashed them onto the motionless creature before turning around and nodding, causing me to roll my eyes as I holstered my great swords onto my back.

"Well, then, we should take a rest break; that battle went on for much longer than usual, so I used a decent amount of mana, and I'm sure you could use a break to regain your stamina, Yuki." Stated Alexander lightly as he approached Yuki, who sat down right beside the monster's corpse, causing his expression to constantly twitch.

Shaking my head, I grabbed the monster's other leg and pulled it a distance away, leaving behind a trail of brown blood before I grabbed Zartha off my back and started butchering the floor guardian.
