Alchesia
Chapter 5 Dungeons

We continued our journey to Ellis. Not long before we reached the mouth of the cave. I feel like there's something weird about this cave. Emilia clasped my clothes tightly. He looks worried.

"Emilia do you know what this place is?"

"Yes, I know. It's a dungeon."

"What's? So this is what a dungeon is called."

Emilia and I tried to go inside.

You have entered the dungeon

Show up notice that I've been inside the dungeon. It seemed like the way to distinguish a cave from a dungeon was to enter it first.

I'm not too sure of our strength right now to fight against the monsters contained within the dungeon. If it is too strong or the level is far above us, it is better for us to step down.

I used to think that in the game, a dungeon would have all sorts of hidden treasures. It's a good opportunity.

I thought the cave was dark, but this one is light. That is because there are some glowing mushrooms attached to the cave wall.

Not far from where we entered, several black spider monsters faced off against us. Their size is quite large according to me, about half a meter. They shot the net at us. I dodged their attacks while moving closer, while Emilia burned them.

At first I thought it would be hard, but it wasn't. We continued to explore this dungeon. I could hear the sound of water droplets not far from us.

"Emilia, did you hear the sound of water dripping?"

"Yes, I can hear it."

"Let's go there."

We finally arrived at a pool. The water was so clear that I could see the bottom of the pool.

Wait first why there are no monsters visible around the pool. I looked to the right and to the left, but there were no monsters. Then I tried to look up, it turned out that there was a very large bat monster on top of us.

KRAAAAKKKK

The monster flew down towards us. I saw her flying towards Emilia, so I pushed Emilia away. He flew up and then turned back. This time he was heading towards me.

I drew a sword to fight. When he attacked me, I dodged to the side and injured his wings so he fell. I saw Emilia directly shooting at the bat with Blue Fire. The bat burned to death.

"You okay, sir?"

"I'm doing fine. Let's go on again."

"Good."

After that we were confronted with some lizardmen. They were quite nimble, so we had enough hassles facing them.

Emilia and I were forced to fight at close range. When we beat them, our level also went up a few times.

The Stealth C skill had been obtained by Emilia

Emilia Lv up 8->12

I'm level 15 now. I was wondering if I got a new skill, so I opened my status screen.

The Craft C Item Skill had been obtained

Skill Detection C has been obtained

It turned out that I got 2 new skills, to create items and skills to detect enemies. At least I can avoid surprise attacks.

We are still continuing the search. There are still some spiders and lizardmen we're dealing with. Until we got in front of a locked door. There was a red stone in the middle.

I tried to touch the stone.

CENSORSHIP

The stone turned and then shone. The door then moved up. There's a dark room behind that door. When Emilia will enter.

"Wait a minute, I'll check using the skill."

I didn't detect anything. But is this why my hunch is not good. I feel danger in there. I saw that Emilia also felt that something was wrong.

"Do we have to back off?"

"But we've come this far."

"How is this?"

After thinking, I decided to enter.

"Emilia you don't have to go in if you're afraid."

"No. If master enters I will also enter."

We entered the dark room. As soon as we entered, some torches in the room lit up.

The Dungeon Boss has been summoned

The fight will begin soon

The boss?

I knew there was something terrible and dangerous in this place.

GRUKGRUK

I heard someone dragging something. I'm looking for the source of that voice.

YOOOO!!!!

There was a scream from above.Something came down from above destroying the ceiling of the room.

BRUUUKKK

I couldn't see clearly what had just come down because it was blocked by smoke. Suddenly the creature attacked us.

Emilia and I jumped to the side to avoid her attack. I looked back at the creature.

Boss Executioner

A monstrous monster with two gigantic swords that gave off a green aura. His head was wearing a helmet next to his.

"It's really bad. Can we beat him?"

"Well, face it first."

The executioner started swinging his two swords and approached towards me. This time I had to use two swords to deal with it.

He attacked me with several heavy attacks that destroyed the floor of the room. I couldn't resist the attack because if I held it I would have destroyed my sword. So I avoid the attack and attack when the opportunity arises.

Meanwhile Emilia shot at the Executioner's back. I also launched several attacks. My attack managed to injure his hand. However, the wound was less deep.

"Emilia combine your Blue Fire with your knife. We have to attack him at close range."

"Good."

Emilia made her knife glow blue. He then ran to attack the Executioner on his back. The slash of his knife gave a considerable burn.

The executioner turned around and attacked Emilia brutally. He is strong but in terms of speed and accuracy is very bad.

Emilia who excel in terms of speed can avoid attacks that are launched easily. Occasionally Emilia attacked back at the Executioner.

We have to defeat him immediately, both Emilia and I are exhausted. I ran to help Emilia.

I'm after the burn Emilia made on the Executioner's back. I did some slashes on the wound and it was very effective apparently.

Whatever thickness you are if attacked at the same point will definitely penetrate as well. We continue to launch attacks on the injuries we have made before. Here the precision of our attacks is tested.

We managed to get him hurt pretty badly. His attacks also began to slow down.

When we will attack again.

YOAHARGH!!!

The executioner suddenly jumped back. He prepared to attack, but his position was different from the previous one.

"Don't."

The executor ran towards us quickly. It's faster than ever. It's critical.

When he will attack us.

"Emilia…"

I pushed Emilia away. I couldn't resist his attack. He swung his sword and…

BRUAAC

I got thrown and hit something. My head hurts so much. I also have pain in my stomach. It looks like my hand is broken too.

"Sorry Emilia. You can go now."

"What's this?"

The sound of iron clashing against each other.

I opened my eyes slowly…

I saw Emilia still fighting that Executioner.

"Why didn't he run?"

"It's a chance for him to escape and be free, if he lets me die."

"Why?"

I tried to get up. Then I took out some knives and wire. Then I attacked.

"Sir, are you okay?"

He looked happy when I came. I stabbed the knives in the wounds earlier. The executioner attacked me once more, but I managed to dodge his attack.

"Emilia burn him!"

"But?"

He looked doubtful as the previous fire attack was not effective.

"Do it!"

Emilia fired Blue Fire in a row. The Executioner's body was on fire.

"How can you sir?"

"I used the oil on the wire I attached to the knives."

"So…"

"The knives are connected to each other."

The executor seemed to be in pain from burning.

"Emilia, let's end it."

"Okay sir!"

Emilia and I ran forward. Slash by slash we launched until the Executioner fell.

Huh.thank God we are still alive.

Suddenly my head was dizzy, then my vision darkened.

"Master, master, master!"

Someone called me. I opened my eyes slowly and saw Emilia crying.

"Hi, are we okay?"

"I'm fine."

I wonder why he didn't leave me. So I tried asking.

"So why didn't you go? You can be free when I die, right?

"I can't. You've protected me and saved me."

"So it's about the return of the favor?"

He shook his head.

"Then?"

"You have told me that you will always be with me, so I will also remain with you."

"Ooo. I can ask you to get me a potion in my bag."

"Good."

"Thank you."

Emilia took the potion and gave it to me. After I drank it my wounds healed.

Emilia has become a Servant

Did you accept it?

"Servant?"

"Not a slave?"

A slave has no will or right to it. While the servant he can be free.

I didn't know there was such a system, but actually now he can live on his own.

"Emilia, you can leave if you want. I freed you. Choose the life you want to live."

"Thank you, then I choose to stay with you. I gave it all to you."

"Then do you want to be my servant?"

"Yes sir."

Emilia had become Ciel's servant

He then kissed my hand. The slave emblem on his chest disappeared.

The fight here is finally over.

Suddenly a magic circle appeared below us. It's not an attack magic I guess or maybe space displacement magic. Glare at this light. Then I closed my eyes.

When I opened my eyes, we were already in a room with a large crystal in the middle.
