Chapter 76: A Fairy?

I bought the damn item for 2.5 Million KP, which brought my 18,250,000 Million KP to 15,750,000.

Sigh, I could've bought so many rejuvenation pills with those!

Anyway, enough dilly-dallying, I need to use this thing to bring that undead dragon down.

The item that I bought is a grenade that looks like an angel's halo, which is a tad bit ironic as angels represent peace and kindness while grenades symbolize death and destruction.

I need to be careful when using this since I only have one of them. If I fail to take the undead dragon down in one move, then I'll have to waste more KP, which was not part of my goals when I came down here. I need all the KP I can get to buy important stuff, for example, rejuvenation pills.

Those pills can heal me even when I'm one stroke away from death, and that's why I need them in abundance. I should probably buy thousands of them… just in case.

[You're too cautious sometimes, though I guess that's a part of you I admire a little]

'Yeah, thanks. You just made my day with those wonderful words of yours,' Sarcasm was dripping off my thoughts as I responded to him.

[C'mon, at least be proud that I actually praise you for once. With the time we have spent together, I thought you would've seen me akin to a father figure!]

'A father figure who lures me to sacrifice orphans to the blood god?'

[… If you can forget about that part, then we can be a good family]

'Shut up… just shut up.'

I was annoyed at him already, and he's just making it worse.

Ignoring tutorial bot, I started to survey how I can kill the undead lizard with this Halo Bomb.

[Item Name: Halo Bomb]

[Description: The undead fears this weapon, for this is their weakness. An extreme amount of holy magic was poured into making this grenade, and a single use of this can take out thousands upon thousands of undead creatures. If used right, it can even kill millions! There's a rumor that there is a stronger version of the Halo Bomb, but no one has seen it, so far…]

I crept around the large hall, as the undead reptile lay on the ground, snorting from time to time.

I kept my scythe in his small form, and I had it hidden on the side of my waist, having bought a handle from the [Shop] just for scythes.

The undead lizard was awake because it cannot sleep due to its undeath. It can kill me in a flash if I just show myself flamboyantly, and we all know that's a dumb move. Only cliché protagonists do that.

The dragon circled the throne at the end of the hall, dearly caressing it from time to time.

In its eyes, I saw… emotions? How can an undead have emotions?

It must have had someone important sitting on that throne back in the past. If so, then it must've been the pet of a monarch. The royal crown it held on top of its head is proof of that.

But that didn't matter, what does matter is me getting the damned object that elf guy wanted me to get. And I can only get that once I kill this undead lizard!

Once I was by its side, at the pillar beside it, I held the halo bomb in my left hand, ready to throw it.

Slowly, I hunched my left arm back, and then, with all of my strength, I threw the grenade towards the undead dragon!

The moment the halo touched the dragon, everything in my sight was enveloped by a bright light that swallowed the undead dragon whole!

I closed my eyes immediately, as the light's blindness even went through my eyelids.

After the light show, I slowly opened my eyes, which were still aching because of that holy bomb, and saw the undead dragon gone.

"YES!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, happy and joyful that the obstacle blocking my path was gone. A black door appeared in front of the throne, and I moved.

"Partner, sometimes, I wonder where you get those strange items of yours," Thanatos spoke, with curiosity within his voice.

"Don't ask, you'll just get confused," I said as I quickly walked up the steps to the throne, and when I reached the door, I touched the doorknob and twisted it. I opened the door, and behind, it revealed a white room with 10x10 square meters of space.

There were treasures everywhere, shining and shimmering with golden sparkles. But the one that stood out the most was the orb stationed in the middle of the room, sitting on top of a small pillar; an orb guarded by a blue barrier.

The orb in itself was deep blue. It was as if the abyss and ocean had been combined, and I'm currently staring at that. But it was beautiful, breathtaking even.

It absorbed the light around it, yet it also shone the brightest. I was allured by its mere appearance that I almost touched the barrier, and when I realized that, I backed off immediately.

The elf guy said that the only way to open this barrier is by defeating the undead dragon, and I have defeated it, but why isn't it opening?

I wondered why that is, when something poked me from my behind.

I was startled as I didn't expect someone to touch me on my buttocks, and I turned around, ready for a fight!

But when I turned around, I saw no one.

Confused, I tried looking around, and, again, saw no one.

Then I heard a giggle above me.

"Hehehehe, you're such a funny-looking baby!" A cute and bubbly voice said, right above me.

Alarmed, I backed away, and looked for the owner of that voice, only to see… a little person? No, she has wings. A fairy? What's a fairy doing down here?

"What? First time looking at a fairy? Well, take your time, hehehe," The fairy giggled.

I took her words to mind and inspected her.

Blonde, wavy long hair, golden eyes, white skin, and about as small as a wine glass. She wore a dress dyed with red along with purple stilettos. Her bright and orange wings shone with grace, sparkles flying everywhere every time she moved.

She was gorgeous… she would've been if she wasn't so small. I know some people out there have a fetish for fairies, but man, I can't imagine myself being that depraved.

Would you want to put your thing inside that thing? No, right? That's just f*cked up!

"Done inspecting me, little boy? You're so naughty, ehehehe," She giggled even more, and I was feeling a bit uncomfortable after hearing that tone of… voice.

It was like hearing a child speaking seducti—

(Note: I'll have to cut it there. I might get reported for ped*philia…)

"I'm not playing your games, fairy. Tell me, why are you here?" I asked, narrowing my eyes.

Fairies are mythical creatures, and they are revered in some aspects of the world because of how connected they are to nature. But they are never seen by people for reasons such as humans forcefully burning their homes, enslaving them, or, as I said earlier, acting on their fetishes. Thankfully, that has not happened… yet.

But people do revere them, and that might boggle your mind so, let me tell you, people will revere anything in the world. They would even revere rats… as in literal rats living in the canals of cities.

It's confusing how humans are dependent on things such as imaginary gods or some benevolent deity. Religions are widespread in the entire world, especially in the Silver Continent. Zealots are abundant in the Silver Continent since they take the teachings of their church very seriously, and they would mistake the meanings of those teachings for other things.

Such is the hate for demi-humans. That thing came from zealots, who believed that their god hates demi-humans, when, in reality, it didn't mean anything like that.

Anyway, I'm losing topics here.

"Aww, stop being such a party-pooper! It's been centuries since a person has been here!" The fairy pouted at me.

I raised an eyebrow, "So? Just tell me why you're here, and let me take that orb."

"Haaaahh, you're so serious! Stop being so serious, honestly. It's not healthy for a young human child to be so serious!" She said, trying to stop me from being, as she dubbed, a "party pooper".

I was growing irritated, and said, "Just get to the point!" Well, more like 'yelled'.

She pouted one last time, and finally said, "Jeez, alright, alright. I'm your reward for killing the undead dragon who's been guarding me against escaping, and I'm the only one who can disable that barrier so that you can take that Abyss Orb as a bonus reward. The previous owner of this dungeon wanted people to win against the monsters here and defeat his fallen pet, AKA, the undead lizard, to get to me. Well, congratulations on coming this far. You can take everything in this room, including those adamantine treasuries."

I looked around as she gestured for me to take them. Raising an eyebrow, I was still skeptical whether these treasures are safe or not.

[Woah there, buddy. You almost got f*cked in the arse there! These things are full of incantations, probably put by a magic scribe. Once you touch these things, well, let's just say you'll have to say goodbye to me. I'll miss you though!]

My eyes were twitching. Anger, evident on my face.

'Is a fried fairy delicious?' A very terrible question that I found myself asking, well, myself.
