60 The Secret Passage

At the moment, Prime and Cyrena are staring at each other fiercely, almost as if they are having a staring contest or something.

When Aelena's party saw that, they became worried a little, especially for Cyrena's safety. Since Prime is so powerful, so just a simple flick is more than enough to kill someone like Cyrena who is only a Mid S-Class Fairy.

Looking at Cyrena closely, Prime noticed that her health bar is at 75% instead of 100%. Then next to her health bar, he saw a tiny weird green spell image that appeared to look like a dart. Upon looking at the image closely, he noticed that there's a text above it saying "Poison Dart,".

'I see, so that's how it is, no wonder her health bar is at 75%,'

It was at this time, Prime began to speak and said:

"Let me guess, did you perhaps have poison in your body?"

When Prime said that, Cyrena immediately became extremely shocked.

"What?! How did you know?!"

'Impossible! How did he know that I'm poisoned by someone?' Cyrena couldn't believe it as she thought to herself.

A few months ago, when Cyrena was roaming around the forest looking mushrooms, she ended up getting ambushed by a group of human hunters who shot poison darts at her. However, she was lucky enough to dodge most of the shots, except for one that she made a mistake by letting her guard down.

Although the poison itself didn't kill her yet, but it will eventually kill her in the long run if she doesn't try to find a cure for it.

"Hahaha! Well, there's nothing in this world that I don't know," said Prime boastingly.

"However, if you are willing to cooperate with us and help us find the Heavenly Light Sword, then I might consider giving you the antidote that can help cure the poison for you," said Prime.

"What?! You have the antidote with you?!" said Cyrena surprisingly.

"That's right! However, I won't give it to you now until you help us find the Heavenly Light Sword first," said Prime with a smile.

"What?! Are you trying to trick me?! Give me the antidote now! Then only I will help you,"

Cyrena didn't believe Prime, so she wanted to make sure that she can cure herself first, then only she's willing to do what Prime says.

"Listen, your life is in danger not mine, so you have no right to negotiate with me. Therefore, either you listen to what I say, or no deal simple as that," said Prime determinedly.

"No! I don't trust you human! Give me the antidote now! But don't worry, I will make a vow now to help find you the Heavenly Light Sword. And when a fairy makes a vow, he/she can't break their promise, otherwise they will be punished by the God of this world,"

"Vow and get punished by God? What nonsense are you talking about? Sound like you're trying to trick me with such story or something," said Prime in a disbelieving manner.

At first, Prime wanted to tease Cyrena for fun and see who will give in first, but sadly, Cyrena is one hell of a stubborn girl that never give in first.

Not wanting to waste time any longer, Prime made up his mind and said:

"Fine! I will give you the antidote now, but if you don't keep to your promise after, then don't blame me for the consequences later,"

"Really?! Yes! Hahaha!" laughed Cyrena joyfully.

"Alright, then come and get the antidote yourself," said Prime.

"Oh? Where it is? I don't see it,"

Aak! Aak! Aak! Pui! Pui!

Prime spat some salivas onto his right palm, and said, "Here, this is the antidote, drink it and you will be cured right away,"

"Eh?! What?! Are you kidding?!" Cyrena couldn't believe what Prime said.

Even Aelena's party was surprised as well when they saw what Prime was doing.

"I'm not kidding, drink my saliva now and you will be cured right away. If you still don't believe me, then let me show you this," said Prime while biting one of his fingers to cause it to bleed.

"Watch and see what happen if I put my saliva on the finger that is wounded,"

With that said, Prime began putting some saliva onto the wound on his finger, and not long after that, in just a few seconds, the wound is completely gone and all healed up.

"What?! How's that possible!" Cyrena couldn't believe it.

Even Aelena's party was once again in shock, and didn't know what to say.

"Alright, stop wasting time and drink it now, or else I might change my mind later," said Prime impatiently.

It was at this time, Cyrena quickly flies toward Prime's right palm and land on it, and after that, she then gulped because she felt a little disgust of drinking someone else's saliva. But since she has no choice at the moment, so she didn't hesitate and scoop a handful amount of saliva and drank it.

"Eww!" Everyone is Aelana's party can't help but feel gross about it.

"Yuck! I can't believe she actually did that, damn!" said Dior.

After a while, sure enough, Cyrena started feeling better and her health bar also went from 75% to 100% in just a second.

"Wow! This is amazing!" said Cyrena excitingly.

It was at this time, Cyrena started looking at Prime admiringly because to her, Prime is her savior now.

"Good for you. Alright, now let's not waste time and get going already," said Prime impatiently once again.

"Yes! Yes! Let's go! Follow me!" said Cyrena excitedly, as she immediately started flying ahead of everyone and began showing them the way.

Just like that, their journey continues once again.

Unlike the previous floor where it was a tropical rain forest environment, but this floor they are on, is an underground labyrinth setting.

Also surprisingly, there's no light at all on this floor, but since everyone in Aelena's party is at least S-Rank and above, so it wasn't a problem for them to adapt to such dark environments.

Since Cyrena was always at the front guiding them, so whenever she sensed any monsters ahead of them, she will let them know. So that way, they are always prepared and don't have to worry about monsters ambushing them out of nowhere.

With that being said, 5 hours later, Cyrena finally found a secret passage that will lead them to the 51st floor.

"Please enter here everyone," said Cyrena as she pointed on the stone wall in front of them.

"Huh? Enter where? It's a dead-end here though," said Dior dumbfoundedly.

"No, it's not a dead-end, this wall you see in front of you is an illusion wall, meaning that it's not real. So just walk through it and you will see what I mean," said Cyrena.

Of course, everyone believed in Cyrena's word as there's nothing for her to lie about something like this.

So that being said, everyone then entered the stone wall and not long after that, they were transported to an unknown place that appears to looks like a massive island isolating in the middle of the ocean.

"We're are almost there. However, do be careful everyone because ahead of us, there's a powerful guardian beast protecting the gateway to the 51st floor. Also, I heard that the guardian beast is at least Peak S-Rank level," said Cyrena.

"What?! Peak S-Rank? Isn't that as powerful as our king?" said an elf man shockingly.

"That's right, but there are many ways to defeat it actually," said Cyrena.

"What you mean?" asked Aelena curiously.

"Well the first way, is to kill it obviously, but I don't think you guys are strong enough to do that anyway. As for the second, the beast will give you guys a trial, that's mean answering some questions, and if you guys answered all the questions correctly, then you will be given the permission to enter the gateway,"

"I see, then what if we fail the trial, will the guardian beast kill us after?" said Dior.

"Well that..... I doono, maybe yes, maybe no because it depends on the guardian beast personality. Although it's a beast, but it can still talk just like us, so maybe if we're lucky, we can negotiate with it," said Cyrena.

"Hmm, what should we do now Aelena-sama? Should we take the risk and go meet the guardian beast? Or should we pull back now?" said Dior as he's worried about the safety of everyone.

It was at this time, Aelena looked at Prime and said:

"I'm sorry for doubting your strength, but I suggest that you pull back now because I don't want you to die because of our problem. So please leave now before it's too late and also you're still young and powerful, so it's not worth risking your life challenging such a powerful guardian beast,"

"That's right, thank you for helping us up until now, but from here onward it's dangerous for you to follow us, so please leave now before it's too late," said Dior to Prime too.

Since Prime managed to defeat Rudo's party, so everyone in Aelena's party estimated that his level should be around High S-Class, or close to Peak S-Class. At least, that's what they have seen his power so far.

Therefore, they do not expect him to be able to defeat the guardian beast since the guardian beast is on another level as compared to Rudo's party.

'I'm surprised at how kind they are to even care about my life when they do not even know me well,' Prime was impressed by their kindness.

However, he had to refuse what they say because in order to complete his quest, he has to help them find the Heavenly Light Sword no matter what. Otherwise, he won't be able to complete his quest/mission.

"Well, I appreciate that you guys care about me, but since we have already come this far, therefore I'm not stopping till we find the Heavenly Light Sword. As for the guardian beast, meh, it's not an issue for me because if it dares to block my path, then it will gladly regret it," said Prime confidently.

Although they do not know if Prime could defeat the guardian beast or not, but for some reason after hearing his voice, they somehow believed that he might be able to do it after all.

"Well, if you have already made up your mind, then I won't stop you," sighed Aelena as she can't help but worry for Prime's life.

"Haha, don't worry. Besides, I wanted to test my skills against the guardian beast anyways, so this is like killing two birds with one stone for me," said Prime as he was referring to his Moba skill.

With that being said, they then proceeded to go and meet the guardian beast. As for Cyrena, she's not worried about her life at all because if anything happens, she could always go back in the Ancient Fairy Flute for safety.
