Adias Floryn: Get Back The Kingdom
Part 8: Entering the Dungeon Tower

When entering the tower, inside it does not correspond to what is seen outside it. Outside, there is only a large tower that, when calculated from its windows, can have 20 floors in height, with an area that can only accommodate cattle ranches. But when in it, the place is very wide with a sky that can not be estimated high. It was as if they were in another dimension different from the dungeons they had been through. 

“It looks like our trip will be very long.” Halbert.

“Do not hesitate, let's go forward!” Franca said leading the group. 

They all walked through the forest without a hitch. Even though there were some monsters blocking, it was nothing in front of all of them. They can quickly bulldoze orcs, or goblins. 

In fact, even the giant orcs that had been at Dias's opponent were nothing to them. Just enough Franca who advanced and slashed the giant orc quickly, and easily the giant orc successfully subverted.

Time kept going, and so far there were still no monsters that made them all have to seriously fight against him. Franca can destroy the kobold horde alone with his sword, without the help of other friends.

Not long after, Dias woke up from his sleep, and it just so happened that they were all resting after traveling for a full 12 hours. They were busy making food for dinner at the moment. And in front of him, there was a glasses girl wearing a yellow robe sitting beside him while cleaning chemical glass bottles. 

“You're conscious, fire boy?” Said Cyntia who is an alchemist girl who has prepared stamina-enhancing drugs and mana recovery. 

Aldias looked at Cyntia's brown eyes in confusion, “I.. where?” Ask Dias who is still dizzy. He looked around, and looked very foreign in his eyes. 

“You are now inside Dungeon.” Reply Cyntia.

Dias, who seemed to have calmed down, looked around and he only realized that he had entered the dungeon that had been threatening Zoldyk Village. 

“Drink this,” Say Cyntia while thrusting both items. 

After Dias received it, he immediately drank it. Suddenly, he felt like energy was entering his body. He felt fresher than he had yesterday. 

“That's his name where potion. The potion can restore manamu as usual. If you're interested, I can give it to you as much as you want.” Cyntia said with a friendly smile.

“Ah yes, you are hungry, right?” Cyntia then tapped the air with her finger. It suddenly appeared like a small portal floating in the air. Cyntia put her hand into the portal and took the banana inside.

“Eat this.” Not only was Dias enchanted with magic abilities she had never seen before, but she was also fascinated with her kindness that melted her feelings. 

Dias looked at Cyntia in surprise. How could there still be a person as good as him who gave him more attention. Unlike Iaros who just told Dias to practice and practice. Iaros is like a horse-brained man whose mind is only work and work. Even now Dias saw Iaros from a distance who was busy fighting Panco with Demitry. 

Dias looked at Iaros with a pushy look while eating his banana together with Cyntia. 

“Hiaahh.. This time I will beat you..!!” Shouted Demitry.

“Hoaamm? gini aja?” Iaros said while yawning indicating that Demitry's physical strength is very weak. Though Iaros still had not expended half of his physical strength, but he was already domineering.

“That's it, I'll end it now.” Iaros instantly dropped Demitry's hand easily. 

“Hah? This.. this is impossible.” Demitry replied with a surprised face.

“Okay, as per agreement, be my mount for one full day.” Said Iaros with an evil smile.

“Sialaaaanannn!!” Demitry ruffled his hair in annoyance. 

“Food is ready!” Said Steve who had prepared 16 people. He prepared a soup with bird-based meat that flew over them while they were walking down the dungeon. They all immediately surrounded Steve with their own bowls. 

Cyntia who had been guarding Aldias also immediately queued with all of them. 

“Wait here first yes, I'll get it for you.” Her speech. Dias just nodded and watched from a distance those who were crowding the food.

“I-this, can it be eaten?” Said Halbert who saw the soup was purple. He had never seen soup in such a strange color. “This, non-toxic right?” 

“Let's just relax, I've used my magic to turn off the poison. It is precisely the poison that will increase your anti-bodmu immunity.” Steve said with confidence.

“Ya done it, eng?” Halbert said, then cut off when she saw Cyntia who was carrying two bowls of soup in both hands. “Hoiii Cyntiay, don't cheat you yes.” Halbert.

“Cheat? you want me to make sure you have your hair, huh?” Reply Cyntia wrathfully.

“This is for Dias tauk! hmph!” Cyntia said in annoyance, then turned her face away and continued her steps towards Aldias.

“Dias is awake??” After Halbert heard about it, she followed Cyntia out of curiosity about Adias' state.

“This Dias.” Cyntia gives a purple soup with a little vegetable and a piece of bird's thigh in it.

“Thank you.” Reply to Dias after receiving the soup.

“DIAASS!!” Suddenly, Halbert came from behind Cyntia and shocked the two of them. 

“Alamakk!!” In shock, Cyntia accidentally threw her soup into Halbert's face.

“Halbeerrtt!! Why are you getting so insolent, huh?” Said Cyntia who looked upset, then grabbed Halbert's ear and brought it to Steve to take the soup back. 

“Ahhh, sick!! I was not intentionally.. Diaaass! I'll be back after this. Aw aw aw aw...” Said Halbert while moaning in pain. 

Dias just looked strangely at Halbert. After that, Dias began to try to taste the strange purple soup. And not unexpectedly, if it tastes good enough and makes Dias fascinated once again with the taste of the cuisine. 

“Diaaass!! how's my cooking?” Suddenly Steve appears in front of Dias. Dias was quite surprised, but did not have to spill the food he held, because it was too valuable. 

“I'm sure you'll love my cooking. Seen from your expression earlier that really enjoyed it. Hahaha.” Dias was unable to dodge any more, and continued eating without Steve's care. 

“Dias, I'm amazed by the magic you used. It's just that you have to remember, if the mana in your body is limited. If you put out a skill that exceeds your manpower, then you yourself will be damaged, because the depleted mana will also take something else in return, namely your life. So, remember well yes.” Steve said seriously. He as the Priest must have told this to Dias, because he was a healer responsible for the pain borne by this one group. 

Dias who heard it only nodded in understanding and continued eating. 

Meanwhile, Halbert and Cyntia are still busy looking for Steve to add to his rations. After Cyntia looked over the pot that was used by Steve to cook, it turned out that the entire soup had been left unnoticed. 

“Halbert!! Hand me that soup right now!” Cyntia said to Albert who was behind her.

“Gluk-Gluk-Gluk.” Halbert immediately finished the delicious soup in just 5 seconds. He did not need to chew it, just simply sipped the food as if he was drinking water.  “Ah.. What was it, I can't hear you.”

Cyntia could no longer stem her sense of patience. He took out his magic again and took out two bottles that contained poison that was harmful to the body.

“Halbert, did you choose on my left hand, or on my right?” Fresh Cyntia.

“Hiiiii.” Halbert was getting scared.

Dias who noticed the two of them finally remembered something, if he had brought the provisions made by Iris before while at home. 

Without further ado, Dias came to the two of them, took Cyntia by the hand and gave her a box of supplies. 

“Wahh.. thank you very much, Dias.” Reply Cyntia with a bright smile. After that, Cyntia also ate the lunch along with Dias and Steve. Halbert who liked to disturb it also came back to them.

“What's up, how come back again?” Said Cyntia ferociously.

“Wow wow, a quiet dong.” Reply Halbert.

Iaros and Demetry who had been struggling even though while eating soup, finally realized that Dias was conscious. The two of them went to Dias and ate together. They all tell each other about his time while still adventuring, and give tips to Adias in order to become stronger again. 

Sometimes they can also be funny, to make everyone laugh out loud. Dias also enjoyed the atmosphere of the warm night, accompanied by dishes that have been made by Iris, which has been warmed with his own abilities. 

It was only with their existence that Dias was finally able to smile beautifully. Everyone who noticed Dias' smile became even more excited and made the night even more festive. Because Dias had not shown a friendly face at all since the beginning of the departure. Only a look full of hatred and resentment appeared in both of his eyeballs. 

But at least, for a while he could forget for a moment the grudge in his heart, and enjoy this night with the warmth of the bonfire and the flesh of the half-baked monster.
