Aias: from a world of kaijus to a world of fantasy and magic

Chapter 46

I was hard at work on my new magical circles that had a limiter in them to limit how much mana they could absorb because it would be a problem with my knives absorbing the magical shards in the monsters, leaving nothing for me after they died.

During the last week, I went to Kinwall to pick up the knives that he fixed and the new ones that he made, which included a new holster that could hold a lot of throwing knives.

He also gave me Mila's magical engraver to deliver to her since I was going to her after him to pick up the engraved knives she was engraving, let her check on my new magical circle design, and give her more knives to engrave.

I was fixing up the designs for the new magical circle that Mila looked over, till I heard a knock on the door.

I grew suspicious of who it was because it might be someone after me, but once I heard the voice, my suspicions went down.

"Hi, it's me; it's Alice, and Wendy is also here."

Putting my pencil down on the table, I open the door to greet them.

"Hello, what brings you here?"

Alice looked a bit surprised by how messy and cluttered my room was, which, if I were still a noble lady, would be very unbecoming of me, so I said.

"Oh, excuse the mess; I haven't had time to clean up."

"Right... The reason I came is that I was wondering if you would come fight the 20th-floor boss with us."

"20th floor boss?"

"Yes, we have been trying to take it down for the last few days now and failed every time."

Why are they fighting the 20th-floor boss? I asked why, and Alice responded with.

"Well..."

Alice said a day after I suggested to Maria to do business in the village on the 19th floor, she just did that, saying that she really needed a lot of money for some reason, so they went to the village to do just that.

While Maria was in the village, Alice was with everyone on the 19th floor, and she caught up surprisingly fast with everyone, except for the physical part since it takes time to build up strength and endurance.

Hearing that, I kind of expected Alice would catch up quickly since she was part of Alex's party; after all, Alex is the main protagonist and all.

Going on, since the orc incident happened where there was an unlucky amount of orcs that attacked us, they found that Alice was more suited to be the tactician of the party.

As they were in the second stratum all day, Wendy, Lucia, and even Maria wanted to fight the 20th-floor boss.

Wendy because it would be fun; Lucia because she wanted to test her magic with a challenge; and Maria wanted to get some materials on the third stratum.

Alex, seeing that they wanted to fight it and no one objected, thought, Why not?

However, it did not end so well because they got their buts kicked multiple times.

They tried different tactics and bought better gear from Kinwall, which they could afford with how much money Maria had made.

"Oh, that is why you got new gear and Wendy even got the halberd she wanted."

"Yeah."

Continuing on, Alice said that they were doing some errands to pick up supplies for Maria with her alchemy and thought it would be a good idea to ask for my help defeating the 20th-floor boss.
