Chapter 7
"Ugh.." I groaned as I opened my eyes . I don't even know where I am.
"You're finally awake." Shit. I'm in so deep trouble.
"You used something that will take away your regeneration? What's wrong with you? What if something happened to you?" Clay shouted at me while standing in front of the closed door.
"It's a game Clay. Stop being so dramatic. Anyways why do you care so much. Not like I go berserk everytime you do something stupid."
I wasn't gonna go down either.
Suddenly he just sighted and looked at me with eyes. "Yeah it's a game but still. And yes I care because..."
"YOU'RE AWAKE SHRIMP" Rosa tackled me not even caring that Clay was talking. She just did it. Its mind boggling.
"Guess what? Our friends Scythus and his party are very very very interesting. That Akko girl. She did a Unison Wrath. A Scorching and Shining nymph Wrath. It was so exciting. She took down a legendary. I want to see how she'll handle me though." She had this crazy gleam in her eyes and everything. It was scary.
"Yeah I think I'm just gonna log off and do my real world stuff and then log in."
"Oh ok.. later then shortstacks" ugh I hate her and her billions of nicknames for me. I glared at her as she skipped away.
"Well glad to know she's still the same." Clay said through clenched teeth as l giggled in the background.
"Hey when you log on Whisper to me k. Been some time since we've spent some time together."
"Yeah I will. If I do. I kinda wanna just sleep tonight. No other thing you know. Plus I'm still kinda penalised with slower regeneration and I don't want to get into a fight with that"
"Ok. Maybe tomorrow I guess"
"Yes Your Majesty Prince Of Darkness tomorrow. Now I have to take my leave" I was laughing like a maniac the whole time.
"You know I hate it when you say that"
*Log Off? Yes*
*Next day*
I didn't login last night and slept. Felt weird actually. To sleep without being in NLO.
I showered , ate breakfast and logged in. Today was a holiday so no school thankfully (yay me).
I whispered to Clay. "Hey I'm online. Where are you?"
"I'm in the "Dragon's Head" inn. I'll wait for you. Come on. And hurry up"
"Ok ok.. I'll meet you there"
*time skip*
Dragons head inn. Scum from every corner of the game hung around here. And everytime I come I have to kill someone or more than one person. People have no respect really. I mean, I know you're criminals but please.
I opened the door and walked in. Every single eye was focused on me as I approached the white haired man who was sitting at the bar giving off one of the foulest and darkest auras ever. Gaspes could be heard all round as I sat in the chair next to him.
"So.. what are we doing today.. killing all these people? Going on an assassination mission? Retrieval? What?"
I'm not kidding at all. That's his idea of "spending time together". I'm not saying its not fun. Just saying it's not what everyone else does when "spending time together".
" A Rare boss . You'll like this one. Its very strong. "
"You could fight a legendary on your own and win without much trouble. Why ask me?"
"Because I want to spend some time with you. And anyways it's gonna be more fun to fight it with you than alone" he turned to me drink in hand with a wink.
"Ugh ok lets just go before alpha creepazoid over there tries to give the this isn't the place for kids hand everything over speech. I'm not in the mood"
"Ok ok lets go" Clay stood up.
*Time Skip*
"So this is the place?" It was a dungeon entrance. Nothing special. No Glyphs nothing.
"That's what you think. Lets enter. And you go first" Clay had this playful glint in his eyes.
I walked into the cave "Ok but if somethi.... " as soon as I was inside the cave I started falling.
"JESUS CHRIST CLAY I'M SO GONNA KILL YOU!!" I was seething. I mean, who does that?!?!? Oh wait.. Clay does.
He was laughing like a mad man. "Hey calm down. This is going to be worth it. The monster we're gonna be hunting is absolutely gorgeous"
"You better hope its entertaining Prince Of Darkness"
We fell for what felt like 5 minutes before we saw the ground.
"Grab my hand."
*Shadow Meld*
Clay's Shadow Meld is as much of a nuisance as it is helpful. Instead of becoming human pancakes with pieces of rock and sand, we simply melted into the shadows when we hit the floor.
"Ooh wow. Now that was a fall. Brush it off and let's go. There are some ways to go." Clay was excited. That was not very him. He's moody and vain and so him in a way I can't explain you know. Not excited. I would be lying if I said my curiosity hasn't peaked.
As we progressed through the tunnels we met a few enemies. Non were strong or even proved a challenge.
We, as in mainly me, admired the dungeon. It was beautiful. For a deep underground cavern it was filled with creeper type plants. Gems of different colours were arranged in intricate patterns as if it was there by someone else. It was breath taking.
"We're here. Ready?" He clutched his Scythe Hell Reaver as we approached a large wooden door. I nodded as he placed his hands on the door and opened.
"Is that a....??" I couldn't even finish my sentence.
"Yes it is."
Inside the alter stood a Gaisa's Priestess.
Wow ok so this chapter is kinda late. Yesterday I wasn't feeling very well and slept a lot so didn't have the time to write. And uhh this chapter is not that great. Kinda short and short in action too. Hopefully the next chapter will be better and thanks for reading
