"So that is the situation" Finn said as he had his hand on his chin reflecting on Willy and Bors' words about the murder.
A murder done in a savage manner by crushing the victim's entire head, scattering the remains around the room in the form of blood splatter from the crushing.
The adventurer wore full body armor with a helmet and his companion wore a tunic that covered his entire body, leaving only a glimpse of his face visible to others.
They rented out the entire inn as a sign that they would be busy with some activity. For that reason, Willy retired to drink while leaving the inn because the noise could be heard just by shouting a little.
Willy, as an adventurer and as a man, knowing that something like this would happen, withdrew and only when he returned did he learn of such a situation. The corpse in the room with no trace of the woman.
Bors' informants have been on the move, looking for any clues about the woman and to make it difficult the man just gave Willy a bag of valis as payment without showing any emblem or his face to know who he was.
In other words, the situation sucks.
We're drawing a blank here with a dead body and several suspicious adventurers.
The only thing that is confirmed is that the culprit is a woman.
Instead of coming, he left.
Poor him...
"Hey! Do you have the status thief?!"
"Mr. Bors, I brought it!" an adventurer came running up with a vial of red liquid and handed it to Bors.
"If I remember correctly it's..."
"An object created solely to show the status of the followers of a Deity" Riveria explained to Lefiya "To have such a thing at this time"
"There is no time for morals, Elf" Bors spat annoyed "He is a subject who died a horrible death. Even if we see his status, it will be useless to know if he is no longer alive and we can find out which Familia he belonged to"
"Bors, that's it" the Semi-Human retreated leaving Bors to watch his back and snap his teeth.
"Get one of those smart Elves who can read hieroglyphics!"
"Wait, I can read hieroglyphics"
"Me too"
Riveria stepped forward kneeling beside the corpse, inspecting the status while Bors shrugged, leaving her to do so. Ais stood beside Riveria reading with her.
"Her name is Hashana Dorlia, affiliated with-"
"The Ganesha Familia" Ais term of speaking for Riveria.
The silence in the room was instantaneous, I couldn't avoid opening my eyes at the warning. It was not only because they messed with the Ganesha Familia but because I knew him and knew how strong he was.
"The Ganesha Familia?!"
"Are you sure?!"
"Wait!" Bors raised his voice, drawing everyone's attention with his strained voice and wide eyes "What did you just say?! Hashana?! This is no joke! Hashana is that level 4 'Hard Fist Fighter'!"
Faced with the level, my Familia was now shocked to learn that a high-level adventurer was killed without even fighting or causing noise for his death.
The level difference is clear and a level 4 is no joke.
"Bors, please let me confirm" Finn stated seriously "Has anything moved since the body was found?"
"There was no trace of a fight or anyone coming in"
"At least level 4... The assassin could be a First-Class adventurer. A level 5, just like us or someone with even more power"
I felt a chill down my spine. A level 4 dying without causing a fuss and the odds that a level 4 or 5 was responsible is definitely causing me something.
I just wanted to kill monsters, not get involved in a murder case.
"The bed is not disarranged, that proves that Hashana died before the act" Finn explained "In this small space the furniture is still in the same place. Therefore, there was no fight"
"Th-This person really was killed after being subjugated?" Lefiya's voice trembled "Mm, how about a poison or something..."
"Hashana had [Abnormal Resistance] in G. Even if he had been given some poison or drug, it would have had no effect on him" Riveria explained.
"His neck is broken, so that was the way they killed him. They had a reason for that... or maybe she was upset to smash the head in" Finn looked at the looted bag "No clue what she wanted other than a mission from Hashana"
Hashana took a job which was secret and led to the 30th floor, unfortunately the paper in Finn's hand does not show any more because of the condition in which it is full of blood.
"He hid his identity and did not tell his Familia about the situation"
"Y-Yes" Willy spoke "Hashana always covered his face with a helmet just like his God. But he usually did not wear full armor"
"Y-you guys came out with all this, but...!" the other human next to Bors pointed at my Familia "It could also be that you're acting like you just came into town and one of you could have killed him!"
"Huh?"
"That, that!" Willy nodded and Bors sighed.
"I understand what they mean...it's not like there are women capable of killing Hashana on all sides, but if it's the Loki Familia the situation turns around"
Bors' group observed the women.
"It's not her" Ais tilted her head uncomprehendingly.
"She's definitely not" Riveria looked at them with disdain.
"Neither" Lefiya blushed hugging her body.
"She didn't" I raise an eyebrow.
"... Impossible"
"Where were you watching?!" Tiona shrieked offended for clear reasons.
"¡!" Tione was observed "She could be. If she uses her body, any man will melt in her hands, yes"
"EHHH?!" Tione stomped the ground in fury "MY VIRGINITY IS FOR THE CAPTAIN! I won't let you say whatever you want! If you don't shut up, I'll rip and slice that thing that hangs on your feet!"
"Hiiii!" Bors and his companions covered their crotch in fear.
"Ah, Bors. As you can see, these girls don't have the ability to seduce anyone" Finn rubbed his forehead as Bors nodded "Now, since we're innocent, I'll ask you something. Prevent us from entering and leaving the city"
"Any adventurer can be a suspect. This request was for Hashana and whoever the culprit is must be important assuming she hasn't found what she was looking for... it's just my intuition"
"I understand!" Bors turned and gave orders as my Familia began to prepare for conflict.
For my part I was left pondering the situation. Recently, there was an attack of monsters on the surface, not the ones from the Colosseum, but the carnivorous plants. Someone definitely brought them to the surface.
Now a level 4 adventurer was killed just like that in the middle of Rivira where several adventurers come and go.
I met this guy and I want to say that he is like any other adventurer. He goes to the dungeon, he parties, he protects as part of his Familia, but involved in things of dubious legality, I don't think.
How I hate the dungeon.
xxxxx
Explaining can sometimes become complicated.
Suspect number one was the women by Willy's words and how Hashana was last seen with a woman before he was killed.
Bors simply declared with elation that the women were to disrobe to be fully searched, sending the male adventurers into a frenzy of excitement.
Riveria explained that it would be her and some assistants who would inspect them, to the men's misfortune. I understand... I wanted to see the bodies too, but I was not chosen to help.
One detail was that Finn was swarmed by a large group of women who wanted [Braver] to inspect their bodies for evidence, leaving the Pallum with a forced smile.
Tione had to be held up by Tiona preventing her from coming in and throwing the women all over the place.
Here they go...
Ais and Lefiya apparently noticed something suspicious and started moving towards a certain direction while watching the adventurers. I know it's a female suspect, but no one said there might be items that change the appearance of their wearer.
There are many existing things that can hide you from others and Rivira is no exception to say that you can't get those items here.
"Riku, I need your help"
I looked up and noticed Riveria with a group of adventurers, I guess we need to inspect a bit if anyone knows anything. Interrogation can also work.
After this I will go to see Ais and Lefiya who separated from the group.
Ais brings trouble from time to time... I do too, but I like the idea of blaming the blonde more than me.
xxxxx
Ais was on guard before the girl in front of her. The Semi-Human Lulune Louie had been part of a mission involving a certain package she received from Hashana.
"Why did you run away from the city?" Ais asked.
"I thought I would be murdered..." Lulune muttered in fear clutching the bag tighter to her chest.
"Why did you think that?"
"..."
"That's..." Ais opened her eyes slightly "You have Hashana's belongings?"
"¡!" Lulune became upset proving that what Ais thought was true.
"Why do you have Hashana's belongings?!" Lefiya asked in surprise.
"No! I just...!" Lulune sighed trying to calm down "I only accepted one mission. It was about picking up something from a certain client in town and bringing it back"
"Split the job and hire two people..." Lefiya muttered "But aren't you a level 2? Wouldn't it be dangerous to go to Rivira City by yourself?"
"Lord Hermes told me to hide my rank..." Lulune played with her fingers looking away "I'm actually level 3"
"..."
Both adventurers drew a blank as they listened to Lulune tell their level because it is a crime to lie about an adventurer's level and a Familia that is discovered would receive very high fines.
"Miss Ais. We should take her to the Capita-"
"No!" Lulune said fearfully "I'm afraid to go where the people are, they might even be the ones who killed Hashana! If they know I have what I'm looking for I...!"
"..." Ais approached Lulune calmly "Would you give me what you have?"
Lulune grimaced but did not refuse "I was told not to investigate or show, however, now I think it is better to get help" the Semi Human pulled out a robe wrapped in a cloth showing it to the girls.
"..."
"W-what is that?"
In her hands Ais held an orb with a creature inside it. It looked like an unknown monster with small legs and hair similar to tentacles or plant-like tendrils.
'This feeling...' Ais thought gloomily.
The creature inside the orb slowly opened its eyes, but at that instant Ais and the creature shared glances, the blonde let go of the orb all at once and began to hold her face in shock"
"Are you all right, Miss Ais?" Lefiya asked holding up the orb.
"Yes... I'm fine"
"I knew none of this was good!" Lulune said with concern "For an adventurer like you to be in such a state is bad"
"I'll take it to the Captain!" Lefiya stated putting the orb away "You don't have to worry Miss Ais. This is something I can handle. I'll go ahead"
*BOOM!*
Like a spotlight on in the middle of the night, the three adventurers fixed their gaze along the cliff, showing the city full of carnivorous plants in piles. They attacked anything that moved.
Bors was giving orders while the Loki Familia adventurers moved instantly, heeding Finn's orders to protect the weaker ones and create a safe zone.
Despite the chaos, the adventurers managed to regain their courage and raised their weapons against the enemy, proving that they would not fall so easily.
*Slash*
Ais cut some plants that came out of the ground where she was protecting Lulune and Lefiya.
"Thank you very much, Miss Ais!"
"Are you kidding me?!" Lulune braced herself looking at a certain place "More are coming from this side!"
"Lefiya, overtake the city!" without looking back, Ais dashed toward the sea of carnivorous plants without hesitation.
"Miss Lulune!" Lefiya grabbed Lulune's hand and ran with her.
"Hey, are you sure your friend is going to be okay!"
"We'd be in the way...it's better to run"
As Lefiya had said if they supported they would be more of a hindrance because the carnivorous plants would instantly attack Lefiya by magic and Lulune barely had the strength to deal with them.
*Thud!*
A large draft pushed Lefiya and Lulune as they watched the source.
"An explosion!" Lefiya opened her eyes looking at a certain place "That's Lady Riveria's magic. ?" something else appeared.
From the cloud of dust an armored adventurer appeared. From the shape of the armor it was believed to be a male adventurer, however, Lefiya did not let her guard down.
"Hold it right there!" Lefiya raised her staff, but instantly she was grabbed by the collar "Gah!"
The adventurer tightened his grip on the Elf's neck, quickly knocking the air out of her as Lefiya kicked trying to free herself without any success.
"Ha! Let her go!"
Lulune jumped to save Lefiya, but one move was enough to send her flying and crashing into a wall of glass, knocking her to the ground.
Lefiya lost strength and her arms dropped.
*Crack!*
The wall of glass shattered giving birth to Ais who quickly attacked the adventurer who left Lefiya on the ground to dodge the attack. In the leap the helmet fell to the ground revealing an almost entirely bandaged head.
"Lefiya, are you okay?"
*Cough* *Cough* "Y-Yes"
"Are you the person who killed Hashana?" Ais asked.
"So what if I was?"
"A woman's voice?!" Lefiya exclaimed in surprise looking at the armored adventurer "But aren't you a male?!"
"I took the skin off" the killer literally tore off his face "I'm using the face I tore off. The vermis poison in the skin can keep the skin from deteriorating. didn't you know that?"
Lefiya covered her mouth in horror as Ais stood on guard with beads of sweat trickling down her forehead. The enemy in front of her was not like the others.
"S-So the face of Hashana?"
"Ah shit. It was a little tight and uncomfortable. Now..." the adventurer let go of the armor revealing the curvaceous body of a woman "I'll get the seed"
"Disappeared?!"
Lefiya was not able to see that the woman jumped up swinging her sword, but Ais quickly responded with a great clash of metal on metal.
"Looks like you're strong!"
"¡!"
Ais had blocked the enemy sword descending towards her, however, the force behind it was too much, so Ais had to deflect it.
She did so, however, Ais instantly had to duck because a kick went directly to her face, leaving her surprised, but not unable to respond. Ais with speed sent several attacks and the woman blocked them with the same speed.
Ais raised her arm blocking a blow that was going for her face, however, the force behind it sent her flying.
The [Sword Princess] recalled similar combats. A white-haired girl with an indifferent look appeared in Ais' head. The fights the blonde had with the white-haired girl were similar.
Ais only used the sword, but Riku used kicks and punches that put Ais in a tight spot. According to the white-haired girl, in a fight nothing prevents the opponent from using their arms and feet, including anything in the surroundings.
"Beams of light unleashed, bow of the sacred tree. You are a master archer"
Hearing Lefiya's chant Ais rushed to attack the woman covering her companion.
"Release your arrows, fairy archers . Pierce, precision arrow! "
With the clash of swords that Ais was giving, the woman had no choice but to dodge and when Lefiya finished, Ais jumped away from the woman.
"Arcs Ray!"
The arrow of magic was launched with impressive speed towards the woman, however, for her it was only a hindrance. Raising her hand, the woman was hit head-on.
*Boom!*
"She received it head on?!" Lefiya couldn't avoid watching in disbelief as the woman parried the attack with one hand, but her eyes were closed by the blast that was sent towards her "Kyaa!"
The woman returned the magic as if it were a hindrance.
"Lefi-!"
Ais had to duck in the face of the woman's attack without having the opportunity to check if Lefiya was all right.
Looking up and seeing how the sword descended, Ais understood that this fight was not like the others in the way of defeating the enemy, so she gave her all.
"Tempest!"
The air current was expelled from Ais like a whirlwind, sweeping over the woman and sending her flying, destroying several natural crystals in the dungeon.
The battlefield changed from one moment to the next. Ais took a deep breath as she held her sword in front of her in defense.
The woman stood up as if in a weak attack "That wind... that's right. You must be Aria"
"¡!"
Ais felt as if the weight of the world was falling on her, Hearing her mother's name from an unknown woman who was probably responsible for the chaos caused in Rivira only sent alerts to her.
Ais's heart pounded.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!"
A deafening scream fell over the battlefield getting everyone's attention. The orb with the creature trembled and jumped towards Ais reacting with her wind, but the blonde dodged it.
The creature escaped from the orb and attached itself to a dead carnivorous plant. Before everyone's eyes, the creature was absorbed and the plant began to grow disproportionately, causing disorder.
"OOOOOOHHHHHHH!"
Ais took Lefiya and Lulune under her arms and ran away from the monster's growing body and made several tendrils destroy everything around her like a rabid animal.
The red-haired woman gritted her teeth in frustration and retreated from the scene.
The crimson sheaths tore through the creature, ripping off the crystals with ferocity. In its evolution, the monster also absorbed the other monster pieces, merging with them.
Ais's group was not the only one to observe what happened.
In Rivira all the adventurers focused on the oversized monster that towered over the entire floor like a Floor Boss, towering over the battlefield calling for the destruction of everything in its path.
xxxxx
"Ais! What the hell did you bring with you?!"
"No time!" Ais answered me "Riveria! Take care of Lefiya!" without looking back Ais jumped towards the battlefield drawing the monsters' attention away from our group towards her.
"Captain!" I caught Finn's attention "It's just like the Monsterphilia, however, Ais seems to be the target!"
"It's clear" Finn nodded "Take care of keeping them from getting close!"
"Understood!"
I ran towards the carnivorous plants, noticing that Tiona and Tione were already there cutting down several enemies.
I unsheathed my two daggers and for the first time that day I felt my blood pumping with excitement at releasing the pent-up frustration.
Several carnivorous plants descended towards me looking to eat me, literally, but I had already passed by. My dagger cut through one plant like butter, while the other one I stabbed into the head of a plant after dodging the attack.
Compared to the first time I faced these monsters on the surface, my body was already used to the resistance and speed of the plants, so it was easier than it seemed.
A plant was coming from my right, I didn't even look at it and just lifted my leg and crushed it. It was strong enough to cause a crater and the death of the monster. From there I jumped using a monster as a base.
In the process I was in charge of cutting the tendrils that were coming to my position at a great speed, preventing them from touching me, when I finished I ran and cut the carnivorous plants in two.
If I had my sword, the battle would be easier because of the length of it and my technique which is more concentrated on the sword than on my daggers. That was a long time ago when I was younger.
From the side I caught a glimpse of Finn swinging his spear spectacularly from side to side, impeding the creature's advance. Riveria and Lefiya were chanting, employing a tactic they had learned.
The Rivira adventurers seeing my companions fighting without hesitation also went into battle with a battle cry. Although they were weaker if they formed a group, they were capable of eliminating monsters stronger than them.
The creature did not stop creating tendrils that destroyed everything where they passed, however, I glimpsed Lefiya finishing her chant by throwing her [Fusillade Fallarica] which fell like rain on the monster.
The attack gave Finn, Tiona, and Tione enough time to attack the monster, but it howled in pain and fled the scene, sensing that it would die.
I knew the situation had gotten out of control, but my mind was elsewhere. Ais had gone to fight against a red-haired woman west of here and if my guess is correct, she would lose.
It's not because Ais is weak but because the woman is strong, just by looking at her I knew it and Ais is not that skilled in fighting against adventurers.
I say that because she can't defeat me without her magic and I deny it. If Ais were like Bete then I would lose, but nothing like that happens. The blonde is only strength to defeat monsters.
Well, a little help for her doesn't hurt.
xxxxx
*Clank!*
*Clank!*
*Clank!*
Ais and the woman shared swords collisions, however, Ais was retreating. She was not only weaker than the woman, but the word she had spoken twisted Ais' mind.
Aria was Ais' mother and for someone to know that name caused tremendous curiosity in Ais as to how anyone, other than her, knows that name and more so that she is your enemy.
"It's a very useful wind, Aria"
"Where did you hear that name?!"
"Who knows"
Ais gritted her teeth and leaped towards the woman, who blocked the first hit. Looking for openings, Ais used her speed to send attacks from various angles, but they were blocked.
With an imposed hope, Ais put all her strength into an attack, however, she opened her eyes when she noticed that the woman had dodged it by ducking. Even with [Ariel] Ais was slower.
"I thought your face looked like a doll" the floor broke with a stomp from the woman and she sent a powerful attack at Ais who barely blocked it.
With the distance taken the outcome of the battle was clear even though it was not yet over.
Ais' hands shook from the force behind the blow and her feet held still with her willpower despite feeling like she needed to rest.
"I guess I got my hopes up too high" the woman spoke with disdain "You're weak, you're hardly useful"
"Hoh~? Would it be okay if you tried it with me?"
The redhead looked at the source of the voice and noticed a white-haired adventurer looking at her with battle intent.
"Riku" Ais tightened her grip on the sword "This is my battle"
"Shut up" Riku sneered "I can feel your hands shaking and the magic of you [Ariel] in the area. You're on your last strength, I'm better than you in these cases"
Ais didn't say anything, but she didn't back down either.
"Such words..." the woman narrowed her eyes and raised her sword "Who are you?"
"Hm, I think before you ask that you should introduce yourself, but I don't really care much" Riku shrugged "As you heard my name is Riku. I'm an adventurer and partner of the blonde you mistreated, what about you?"
"... Revis" the woman, now Revis, smiled instinctively "I can feel it. You are better than Aria, you will be able to satisfy my discomfort at today's losses"
"Aria..." Riku mentioned the name said by Revis "The spirit of the story Dungeon Oratoria?"
Ais in the background had a murderous look directed at Revis.
"Your mother or something?" Riku asked and Ais looked at her getting her answer "I see, that's why you lost your concentration?"
"Stop talking. I'll be able to take my contempt of Aria out on you"
"What a coincidence. I was thinking of venting about something too" Riku didn't back down and held up her daggers "Show me what you're made of"
Revis and Riku jumped towards each other. Revis lowered her sword as she had done with Ais, but Riku only used one dagger to parry the attack and with the other she attacked Revis who dodged by jumping.
Riku didn't stop and swung both sides of her daggers giving Revis the option of which one to block, but the redhead went to the front for Riku who did a Split leaving Revis surprised.
With an acrobatic move, Riku lifted one foot and kicked Revis' chest who barely blocked it and was sent backwards. Quickly, she raised her sword blocking one of Riku's attacks and then another.
Ais, who was recovering, was watching the battle in amazement. She was barely able to stand up to Revis, yet there was Riku fighting her like it was a daytime battle.
Revis' hits were not only fast, but also strong, making the impact not be stopped by the sword and the whole arm felt the force behind the attack. What Ais didn't know was that Riku did feel them.
She did not use her magic because using it from the beginning was counterproductive and magic could be the key to victory in an attack and Riku knew how to fight without it compared to Ais.
With the force behind the attacks, Riku felt them, but she did not concentrate on these, as she constantly felt something similar or worse when blocking the kicks of a certain Tsundere wolf.
Riku was used to fighting against enemies stronger than her and resisting attacks even though she took a lot of damage.
"Just die!"
In frustration, Revis swung her sword horizontally with force, however, Riku deflected it with her dagger blade and sent a kick at Revis causing her to block again.
Revis was annoyed because Riku was elusive dodging attacks with ease and her response was just as quick. Riku distanced herself from Revis's death stare.
"Hm, I see" Riku shook her shoulders "The impact is on my whole arm, when the morning dawns they will hurt a lot, but my stamina will increase.... gains"
"What are you babbling about?" Revis spat with annoyance "You just dodge and don't attack"
"Because I didn't see the time to use them yet"
Revis frowned, however, she increased her guard as she sensed the change in the girl in front of her.
"Let's see if I can practice with that" Riku muttered taking a deep breath "Ataraxia"
With her magic active, Riku slowly walked towards Revis who was still on guard. Then the redhead jumped, but quickly dodged to the side, noticing an explosion where she was about to fall.
"You dodged it..."
"..."
Revis did not respond and looked at Riku who was now running towards her.
*CLANK!*
Revis was sent backwards by a superior force, the problem did not stop there. Riku quickly continued with her attacks, causing Revis to have to go on the defense.
The redhead screamed with anger inside her as she saw that now she was weaker against someone who was inferior to her a few moments ago. Revis not only used her sword, but also kicked and punched, but they were ineffective.
Comparing her to the blonde, Riku had her magic armor that she could employ to block the blows with her body and reduce the damage present. She was taking a risk, however, Riku was aware of what to use.
She was learning from the enemy.
"Don't underestimate me!" Revis attacked angrily.
"I don't" Riku dodged moving her body slightly and sending a punch to Revis' torso "Tell me how it feels"
*Boom!*
"Puaj!"
Revis was sent flying while spitting blood at Riku's attack. It looked like a simple strike that was going to connect Revis, but it was quite the opposite.
A combined hit with [Satanas Verion] was what Revis received.
Silent chanting was something Riku learned in battle to avoid shouting her magic and simply expel it from her. Her tactic was to use defense and employ the magic attack when the time was right.
"You!" Revis tightened her grip on her sword drawing blood from her palm "I will not hold back any longer!"
"It would be a mistake if you do" Riku said casually, showing that she was giving full attention to the battle "Show me"
*Clank!* *Clank!* *Clank!*
*Clank!* *Clank!* *Clank!*
*Clank!* *Clank!* *Clank!*
This time the clash of attacks was more savage from both sides. Revis didn't hold back and let it all loose, causing Riku to be dodging and attacking with magic at the same time.
Riku could feel her arms screaming in pain, but she did not retreat. She knew very well that in these moments if you retreated you would lose the fight in the face of the enemy's offense.
It was necessary to endure the pain to win.
She sent the sound attacks towards Revis who blocked some and others received them, but she was resistant, so only her body showed marks of blows. Some of these were already bleeding.
On the other hand, Riku had many cuts all over her body, reflecting that her defense was effective. The intensity of the attacks was such that even the wind could blow away anything it came across.
'It's the end of you!' Revis saw an opening that was impossible to defend and swung her sword.
*Slash!*
Riku received a large cut on her abdomen causing her eyes to widen in disbelief at Revis' sadistic smile however in an instant Riku's eyes changed and she swung her dagger.
*Sinnn!*
Revis was hit in her shoulder, leaving a visible hole in it. She quickly took a big leap away as she checked her shoulder and noticed that her arm was useless.
"A trap" Revis looked at Riku warily "You defended the moves in a certain extended pattern and left the opening on purpose. You took damage to damage me"
"If I had a lollipop I would give it to you" Riku smiled wryly as she held her abdomen "Risky but useful. Oh! How about it Ais, how's it going?"
The blonde stood next to Riku holding her sword.
"It doesn't matter" Revis held her sword with her hand that still had mobility "Your body barely withstood the shock and Aria is the same"
"Who said we were going to fight?"
Looking at Riku's smirk, Revis narrowed her eyes, but instantly she opened them and received a full hit to the face.
*Bang!*
Like a rag doll, Revis flew and crashed into a wall of glass, while where she used to stand two figures fell.
"It took you a while. For the next one finish your date on time"
"Hm, with that vocabulary I see you're a little hurt" Riveria looked at Riku who sat on the floor and Ais was still standing "I'm glad you're okay"
"So that's the tamer" Finn muttered watching Revis stand up with anger on her face "You caused us trouble, but the creature has already been defeated"
"Her name is Revis!" Riku shouted.
"First class level 5... no, 6" Revis spat blood still standing upright "Your speed is even better and more refined than the girl"
"I'm Riku!"
"Whatever" Revis ignored the white-haired girl "I'm at a disadvantage" Revis turned and fled the scene.
"Tempest!"
Ais did not allow it and went after her.
Riveria frowned and walked over to Riku kneeling beside her.
"Reckless girl, how many times must I repeat to you not to go against enemies stronger than you?"
"What can I say" Riku smiled proudly "I'd say it's in my blood"
Riveria shook her head and smiled, "Rest, the battle is over"
"Quick question, why didn't they chase the woman? I hurt her badly and they were able to stop her"
"She could have summoned more carnivorous plants" Finn said approaching Riveria and Riku as Ais returned with a downcast look "Too many possibilities and too much risk"
"Just kill her and be done with it"
"It's not that easy" Riveria frowned "There's too much behind to take her out. We don't know if her comrades will come for her death and we need to heal the wounded. Just look at you"
Riku scoffed on the floor and shared a smile with Finn.
The 18th floor had been secured and victory was achieved.
