Chapter 18: Tiona.

Chapter 18: Tiona.

Despite the deep cut, the Orc remained standing and then roared, running towards me. With my skills, it was easy to escape.

I ran for a few meters and then hid between some trees and the mist. The Orc started screaming and running around looking for me. I then decided to make my attack. I ran towards it and then slipped my knife around its waist.

My knife was sharp, and a deep cut appeared on the Orc. After my attack, it tried to chase me, but I quickly dropped out of its vision and appeared on the Orc's back.

Then I made two deep cuts behind its knees, causing the orc to fall. After he fell, I appeared in front of it. Before it could react or do anything against me, I pierced its head.

Its body turned into particles, and a crystal fell to the ground.

"Ah damn..." It wasn't hard, but the adrenaline I was feeling right now was incredible. My heart was racing, and I was sweating. So I decided to sit on the floor and calm down before continuing.

I made sure to keep looking around because another monster could appear at any moment. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

"Okay, I think I'd better go back now. I'm already a few hours in here. And I'm starving too." After resting for a while, I made my way toward the dungeon's exit.

I met some adventurers on the way, and some of them tried to talk to me. But in no mood for conversation, I ignored them. I'm sure they think I'm an asshole now. I won't blame them for that.

And after some more time, I left the dungeon. As I imagined, hours had passed. It was already night, and the bars were open. A little tired and hungry, I gave up on going to the guild today.

I was going to the pub, but I gave up since I had asked Hestia and Bell to leave something prepared to eat. But it was a disappointment... When I got there, I found nothing but a bowl of cold soup and some pieces of bread.

I went to the room, and they were both already asleep. Well, it was already late.

I sighed and went back to the living room. As I was starving, I decided to eat the soup and sleep. I'm sure I will have a lot of fun tomorrow.

'I can't be too impulsive. I'm not invincible just because I'm an "anomaly" in this world.'

"Hahaha. I'm sorry about that." Tiona giggled and then moved closer to me. "But what do you want? Are you by any chance lost again?"

"No, of course not. I saw you walking by and decided to come and talk to you. I'd like to thank you again."

"You don't have to thank me that much. Come on, how about we take a walk while we talk? You've joined a familia apparently. I'd like to know more about it." Tiona looked curious.

I didn't deny her request, and we started walking together through town. Tiona took this opportunity to show me some interesting places. By the time I realized, we had spent almost an hour together.

"Hestia familia. That little boy, the one with the white hair."

"Bell?"

"That's right. We helped him in the dungeon once, he almost got killed by a minotaur."

"Yeah, I heard about that."

"It was our fault, so..." Tiona looked a little upset, but soon after put a cheerful smile on her face. "Then I'll be going, I'll see you around. Luan, right?"

"That's right."

"I'll try not to forget your name."

"..."

Tiona then ran away and quickly disappeared. I looked around and noticed that I was on an unfamiliar street. It was a little challenging to find my way back to the church.
