Chapter 17

When I bent over to pick up the monster stone, I saw the infant dragon dropped a tooth larger than my biggest finger and was very glad that those chompers didnt get a chance to sink into one of us.

Bell was likewise stuffing his monster stone into Lili's bag, so I waved at Bell to get his attention because I could hear a loud thudding noise approaching in the distance and I knew it was almost certainly another infant dragon.

"Bell come over here me and you will get its attention and Lili you need to try to debilitate it if you can't guarantee a quick kill."

I announced and both nodded, Lili jogged to the side and swiftly climbed into a tree to get a good sideways angle.

As the stomping finally reached us and we could see what or better who was coming through the fog I was dismayed at my stupidity or confidence and not getting the fuck out of here as it wasn't just an infant dragon it was a monster party chasing a woman... Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

The monster party had easily five infant dragon's that I could see at minimum three dozen orcs and worse of all there was three Blue Papillo's the flying moths that would heal things by dropping their magical dust off their wings

The woman was wearing a black and purple tight body glove that hugged around her body and was using a large, conjoined chain with nails attached at the ends, which she used to attach to the trees and swing herself around to avoid the Infant Dragons flames.

I grimaced meeting the bland expression of the woman as she noticed us in front of the tunnel and the fact that she was going to basically pass parade us and I knew although we would lose the orcs after going to the next floor because the roofs were too short, the infant dragons on the other hand...

"Lili go up the stairs now and start picking them off! Bell help me brace this shield!" I roared and with all my strength I slammed my shield into the ground burying it a couple inches into the stone floors and then the woman I was convinced was Medusa jumped over my shield but then hesitated at seeing us brace for the monster's quickly following her.

She sighed. "Very well it seems like a pretty good day to die."

Bruh fuck you, and your defeatist attitude the only reason I am doing this is I know for the damn fact the dungeon loves to spawn little parties of monsters in front of a group already fleeing a group.

"Use you chains to trip them up as we block them off. Lili make sure you get the Blue Papillo's." I ordered seeing the monster party climbing up the first few steps and most importantly consolidate into a neat line which fit perfectly into my next plan.

As the first Infant dragon made its way up the stairs it started blowing a constant stream of fire at us. Thankfully I had my shield already set up and although it's status didnt say it, the charge blade was literally fireproof from the addition of Hestia's blood.

The infant dragon was only a couple meters from us, and I could feel Bell was about to bolt so I pushed at least half my mind into the shield to make a huge fireball explode in the front.

Bell cut her off from leaving as I was thinking. "You will die if you keep going. Look your legs and hands are shaking in exhaustion!" He pointed out exasperated.

Not only that, but her body suit was sticking to her voluptuous form not only due to the tightness but also the sweat soaking it as she stood there blankly,

"Look just throwing you're self to die won't help anyone or whoever that was screaming earlier..." I said making her twitch.

"I would love if that person died a thousand times over."

Do I need to spank her too...?

"Look what's your name." I asked the purple haired beauty making her raise her head and look at me blankly.

"Medusa." Fuck I knew it...

"Ok look Medusa I'm not at all that great at anti-suicide speech's but if you truly with all your heart hate that person so much wouldn't living on to spite him be better than just up and dying. Oh, and more importantly if you die so soon what if you have to stand beside him in the heaven's waiting line to get judged for years wouldn't that be awkward..."

My first line didnt seem to matter a damn but then the realization that she would have too possibly be beside someone she hated for literally gods know how long made her shake in pure revulsion.

"Do you mind if I follow you three back up to the surface..." She whispered submissively lowering her head at me.

I could see Lili being the voice of reason frantically shaking her head in denial, but I couldn't help but ponder Medusa's origins. Was she a native to this world? Or could she possibly be from the Nasuverse and is having mana problems and that is why she is so weak right now.

"I will do you one better. Come up with us and we will help take you home so your Familia can help you out."

Medusa paused for a moment and slowly nodded but I could see her looking conflicted about something.

Either way my curiosity will be cured in due time.
