Chapter 129.2: Battle In The Pyramid

Chapter 129.2: Battle In The Pyramid

Reiji raised a cry.

The gorgons were the Serpent Queen’s kin. In short, our enemy’s comrades. Yet those very same gorgons had been captured and were now getting their life force sucked dry.

Upon a closer look, there were lamias among them too.

It seems those who failed to accomplish their mission became this pyramid’s source of power.

「Let’s save them, Reiji-kun!!」

「Naturally!!」

Of course, Reiji was kind to women.

Reiji drew his sword and slashed only at the chains to release the captives.

「Hurry up!! Take the other survivors and get out of this place!!」

Reiji entered the room and carried the surviving lamias, gorgons, and sphinxes out of the room in a hurry.

“Why are you only saving the women!! ” Was what I thought, but let’s save that for later.

Totona, Medjed, the mummies, and I entered the room and saved the other captives too. Though I felt my life force getting sucked out of me, it wasn’t a big deal since it only happened for a short period.

We carried out the ones who were on the verge of death first.

「It seems they’re the only survivors...」

Most of the captives had already died.

Only a few of them managed to survive this long.

「What shall we do about these people, sage-dono?」

One of the mummies asked for my opinion.

We couldn’t take the captured people with us.

And we couldn’t leave them in this place either.

Their weakened and weathered bodies needed some relief.

「Call some reinforcements and bring them outside to a safe place. We will continue on our own. Is that okay with you, Reiji-kun?」

「Yeah, no problem.」

We parted with the mummies here.

From here on, it was just Reiji and me along with Totona and Medjed, just the four of us.

We returned to the main road and continued to the heart room.

「The Hapy room is right before us. We have to pass that room to go to the heart room.」

Totona started her explanation.

And just as Totona had said, we arrived in a spacious room a while later.

「You’ve finally arrived, Hero. I’ve been waiting for you.」

Someone called out to Reiji, it turned out someone had already been waiting for us in the Hapy room.

It was a red-haired man who wielded a long spear.

「Serpent Prince Dahark!!」

I unintentionally called out to him.Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com

Standing right by his side was the Goddess of Plague and Decay, Zafrada. And, lined up behind her was a collection of good-looking men.

Just from their atmosphere, I guessed they weren’t human.

They might be vampires.

Under their feet were the wreckage of mummies.

Some of those mummies had already melted.

It seems they had already killed all the mummies who went ahead of us.

It’s not like the mummies were weak, Dahark was just simply beyond their league.

「It’s a duel, Hero of Light!! Zafrada, make sure that those women behind him don’t disturb our duel!!」

「Okay, Zar-kun.」

Dahark pointed his spear at Reiji followed by Zafrada revealing a charming smile at us.

「Sure, I shall turn the tables against you.」

Reiji readied the two swords in his hands.

Both Reiji and Dahark walked slowly to the center of the room.

「Humph!! Our previous battle got interrupted by an unexpected visitor, but we can fight as much as we want in this room!! You shall become the nourishment of my Poisonous Spear, Pisar!!」

Dahark lunged his spear as he spoke.

Fast!!

My eyes couldn’t follow his speed.

And yet, Reiji seemed to be able to follow that speed.

Now, there was only Zafrada left.

「The Serpent Prince has already died. Are you still going to fight us?」

Reiji pointed his sword at Zafrada as he spoke with a triumphant face.

「You really are stronger than Daha-kun. But, do you really think that you have already won against him?」

「What the?」

Reiji tilted his head for a moment upon hearing Zafrada’s remark.

「You let your guard down, Hero of Light! Ouroboros Regeneration!!」

Dahark’s body rose along with her cries. Something unbelievable then happened, the slashing wound on Dahark’s body was restored immediately.

Dahark brandished his spear again.

Reiji, who was looking at Zafrada, had completely let his guard down.

「DIE, HERO OF LI—」

But, Dahark’s spear failed to reach Reiji.

It was because he was blown away by some force.

Dahark who got blown away to the wall groaned.

Now it was Zaffrada’s turn to show a disbelieving look on her face.

When I looked at Reiji, Medjed had already stood beside him.

It seems he had closed in the moment Dahark was about to backstab Reiji, and sent the former flying with his kick.

「WHO IN THE HELL IS THIS STRANGE CREATURE?!!」

Dahark stood up using his spear and then rushed at Medjed.

「Don’t forget about me, Serpent Prince!!」

This time, Reiji attacked Dahark from the side.

Reiji’s Claiomh Aolais cut Dahark’s body.

Dahark fell again.

Reiji didn’t go after him.

He might be raising his vigilance against Dahark’s recovery.

「DAMMIT ALL!!」

Dahark groaned while vomiting blood.

It seems he couldn’t recover like before.

Maybe he couldn’t use that ability multiple times.

「Daha-kun! Evil Blood Mist!!」

Red blood-like mist then burst forth from Zafrada’s body.

Seeing that mist, both Reiji and Medjed retreated.

The red mist covered Dahark and when the mist had vanished, his figure had vanished from that place.

Naturally, Zafrada’s figure had also vanished.

「Too bad, we failed to kill him.」

Reiji looked at Medjed as he spoke.

It was as if he was looking at his opponent.

「Totona-chan, who in the world is this guy?」

Yup, I’m also curious about his identity.

Medjed’s movements from a while ago were by no means normal.

Though I wanted to thank him for saving Reiji, I was also curious about his identity.

「No, I can’t tell you about his identity. We should continue. The heart room is right before us.」

Totona refused to tell us and looked at the room ahead of us instead.

It seems she was unwilling to reveal Medjed’s identity to us.

Seeing Totona’s refusal, Reiji didn’t press her again.

And despite my worries, I had no choice but to continue walking forward.

Thus, I looked at the passage leading up to the heart room.
