393 Return

Whilst Liego and his clan had already retrieved their rewards for clearing the dungeon. Which mostly appeared to be silver and [Storage] rings in which they could either sell or use. Asai's party now resolved their chaotic feelings and memories, and approached the large chest.

As much as Leigo desired to personally see what rewards the dungeon would award to the party who carried them through the hardest stages, the dark-elves quickly found themselves within a blink of an eye, ported back outside the portal. Surrounded by the local guards and knights who were instantly filled with joy, celebrating their return and instantly hailing them as dungeon-conquerors.

...

Asai took point, peaking into the chest first. Within the deep dark black void of the chest, two items were hovering within the abyss.

[Hel's Blood]

[Upon consuming Goddess of death, Hel's blood. Lifespan increased to [Infinite] Aging permanently paused.]

A little red text hovered just under it, written in Höðr's handwriting.

[Drink this, and you'll never die of old age, but you can still die in battle, to starvation, to cold and burn and even diseases.]

[Solace]

Level Requirement: 50

Requirements: Asai

Stats

[Massacre] Overhead throw 15% of caster's [STR+DEX] as AOE damage at target proximity x 10

[Unbreakable] Crafted from Höðr's fang [Solace] is unbreakable

[Return] After [Massacre] [Solace] returns to [Caster] 

[Chose this spear, if you decide to forgive me for pranking you and your little pals so hard. Also, if Thrud ever asks, you have to stop her from nagging at me for bullying you.]

Seeing the two items side by side, Asai de Trichia easily made the choice of [Solace]

The mighty black spear, as dark as the night hummed in joy the moment it made contact with the human. Connecting their essences, and therefore placing its return point.

"Welcome aboard, I'll use you well. You have my word."

Feeling another tug within his system, Asai noticed an extra 30,000 silver coins added into his wallet.

"A-are you trying to cause inflation or what!?"

[Just take it bitch. Consider it hush money.]

"..."

Having received his rewards, he stepped back and watched as the girl's received theirs.

[Vial of Water] x 4

Level Requirement: 20

Stats

[Water] Unlimited supply of purified water

[Unbreakable] Crafted from Höðr's ??? bone [Vial of Water] is unbreakable

1,069 silver coins in a bag. x 4

Asai, being the only one who understood Hodr's innuendos decided to keep quiet. Robin, quick to give her vial to Asai, was swiftly turned down.

"Robin, I basically have an unlimited supply of water within my [Inventory] keep that God-given item for yourself. And in the future, pass it down as a family heirloom okay?"

Robin nodded twice, believing his words to be agreeable. Passing down such an item, along with her stories and adventures sounded actually fun. Something her own mother used to do for her, back when she was around. 

As for their received silver, they girl's would invest in their own territories and people, when the chance arose.

[You're welcomeeee! See youuuuuu!]

As their bodies started to fade, exiting the dungeon. Asai looked around wondering if he was the only one who could hear the black dragon's ramblings.

...

Once his vision returned, he found himself standing above the quarry and amidst the celebrating dark-elves. Thankful for the return of their heroes, as well as another successful dungeon-closure. Which would mean another year or so before having to worry about a dungeon outbreak again.

"A spear huh? Good thing I already have [Lance Mastery]"

Liego ran up to Asai upon noticing his exit. Dragging along the guy who had advocated for killing the humans at the beginning.

"Duke Trichia! Thank you for saving us! I Liego, and this guy here, Johan will never forget your timely assistance brother!"

Johan bowed, as he wasn't exactly military.

Before anyone else could interrupt his thoughts. Asai gestured towards the closest knights and guards.

"I have a skill, that I desperately want to test out. May I?"

"A skill? Like a magic attack?" Asai nodded in response. Hands itching to test out [Solace] "Sure, over there. Those rocky plains have nothing but rock-badgers living within them. They're nasty pests to be honest."

Asai nodded once more, before pulling out the majestically black spear. It glistened as its surface was highly shiny. Flooding it with [Divinity] Asai found that he could designate the element aspect of the attack.

Performing a little run up for momentum before throwing the spear like a javelin, [Solace] flew true, soaring and splitting the sky before splitting into 10 smaller spears and massacring the local wild life in the proximity. Golden globes emerged as [Divinity] exploded, engulfing the rocks and stones. Purging and cleansing the area of impurities, [Solace] reappeared within his grip.

"Good. Next one."

The dark-elves, already greatly shocked to see a single spear devastate such vast amounts of space in a single skill, staggered and gasped as the human prepared another javelin throw. Only this time, he funnelled [Chaos] into the spear, and as it flew, splitting into 10. Landing and and blasting into miniature explosions. The rock-badgers living safely underground found their homes destroyed, as the deadly element broke and destroyed the very ground, dirt, rocks and stones. Leaving behind 10 miniature craters in their place instead.

However, to everyone's surprise, even Asai's. The beasts' bodies remained behind to be looted, rather than being annihilated into dust particles.

"Good to know."

Now satisfied, Asai glanced back to the knight who was shaking in his boots.

"Can you escort us to Her Majesty? I've completed the quest she has given me, and would very much like to report the successful extraction of her people personally."

Although usually, they would be ordered to stay within an inn for a few days to prepare Queen Emilita's schedule, the knight was scared shit-less so much, that he nodded fervently. Wanting nothing more than to dump this walking-bomb onto someone else's lap.
