On the next day, the two of them were able to safely open their eyes. Artpe had been inwardly worried about a highly skilled adventurer or a thief, who could neutralize his perception, catching them by surprise. However, a refreshing morning arrived without the need for Artpe to use his contingency plan 1, 2, 3 and 4. Of course, they were in a Dungeon, so they couldn’t check whether it was light outside!
“Good morning, Artpe!”
“I don’t know if it is is morning yet, and I also don’t know if it is a good one, but hello.”
When Maetel opened her eyes, she had confirmed that Artpe was sleeping safely next to her. She let out a bright smile before she took stock of herself. Her eyes widened in surprise.
“Wow. We slept on floor, yet my body feels really great.”
“The Mana inside a Dungeon is extremely active. It has a positive effect on one’s vitals. However, we aren’t the only living being in this place, and that is a problem.”
Most monster, who entered a Dungeon, became much stronger. Of course, this increased the EXP one could gain. Still, it was scary to face these fortified monsters. This was why most adventurers and mercenaries was reluctant to enter a Dungeon. In truth, if one wanted to live a long life, it was best not to enter a Dungeon.
“Is this why you insisted on entering the Dungeon? Since we’ve slept and refreshed ourselves, can’t we just head out?”
“We could. However, the soldiers dispatched from the palace would have expanded their search radius by now. If we go out right now, we’ll be caught. We’ll be dragged back into the palace.”
“I don’t like tasteless food!”
She could deal with wearing shoddy clothes, and not being able to sleep. However, she wanted to avoid not being able eat good food at all cost. There were tears in Maetel’s eyes as she shouted those words. Artpe nodded his head in satisfactions, and he handed her the leather waterskin.
“All right. After we drink some water, let’s work hard to catch the monsters in here. By the time we are able to go out again, we’ll be stronger. When we exit the Dungeon, we’ll be able to easily evade the soldiers pursuing us.”
This was the cheapest part about being a hero. Maetel had been a normal child only a day ago. Before she became a hero, she had merely been the leader of a group of children, who she played with. If things continued as they were progressing right now, she would be more skillful than the soldiers that were being killed like flies in the current war. She would be able to look down upon them!
There was a common saying within the Demon world. Yesterday’s defeated hero will kill you tomorrow. Of course, the idiots within the Demon world ignored this saying, and they were killed and looted by the hero like clock-work. The biggest problem was the chef…
The Demon King was the biggest idiot amongst them!
“Do we have to fight those weird goblins again, Artpe?”
“No, we’ll be fighting something much weirder. They are also stronger.”
“Heeek!”
When she thought about the fight against the goblins yesterday, she shrank into herself.
However, Artpe had seen her remarkably learn four skills at once in yesterday’s battle. He thought about how she looked yesterday, and he gravely nodded his head.
“You are capable of fighting opponents that are 10 levels above you. If you aren’t careless, you’ll be able to win easily, so don’t worry too much about it. I’m also capable to a certain extent.”
