SELECT DUNGEON'S STORY - Nephilim's Corruption

Chapter 9 - Monster Man, Vina

Vezda stood in front of the entrance of the restaurant and felt the murderous and bloodthirsty chill coming very close and looked around. At first glance he saw a figure in an all-black robe barely visible in the dark. At that moment he understood, that figure was what Vezda was looking for. Vezda instantly set his breathing to become much calmer and his heart rate was getting slower. After a while, he jumped up very quickly and no one saw him, not even Aleratha.

Where's she? She vanished? Not likely. The figure wearing the black robe was puzzled as he saw Vezda's figure disappear from his surveillance.

“You're looking for me?” Vezda said from behind the figure.

Hows it? The figure was aghast and directly attacked Vezda using a blue dagger that looked like a plant, but Vezda was much faster and deflected his attack and kicked hard at the figure.

“The knife you used shows that you have a relationship with the mysterious monster and also Carlos.” Vezda said that and the figure wearing the robe was still trying to digest what had just happened.

“Do not want to say that name. You killed him and you and the Alliance of Aliviah should receive the reward.” The robed figure was a woman and the robe still covered her entire body and the flat tree trunk pierced through the robe.

“What happened to Carlos was something he had to deal with. If he has chosen to do so, then he must also accept the consequences.” Vezda said calmly in front of the woman.

“You don't know what our suffering is and you don't deserve to say anything about Carlos.” The woman re-directed her knife, but now with something emerging from the woman's back.

The woman grew something like a log in a flat and pliable form, but Vezda knew something that the log was not something that could be ignored. Quickly, the woman's figure attacked Vezda with 13 flat bars and when Vezda deflected it, Vezda finally understood that the flat rod was a very sharp flat rod.

After the status update and becoming level 5, I felt that all of his attacks were very very slow. The Vedic vision of the woman's attack was very clear and Vezda did not seem to have any difficulty cutting off any part of the tree trunk.

Too close to the restaurant. I had to take him to the corner of the city because there were a lot of abandoned buildings. Vezda quickly repulsed the woman in order to get to a place further away from her alliance friends' party.

Every attack of Vezda pushed the woman to where Vezda was headed. Vezda's attack severely damaged the woman and the woman's abilities were actually almost on par with Carlos's, but Vezda is now also much stronger than Carlos due to his status that exceeds the limit. Not forgetting the moment of repelling, Vezda cut off the woman's hand so that she no longer held the knife.

The fight between the two of them in that place was fierce and each attack of the two of them was so fast that it could not be seen easily by ordinary people and the blue blood had colored the place a lot.

Not likely. This human only has 1 arm and uses a sword that should have used 2 hands and I was still beaten back. The woman begins to look restless and Vezda begins to feel that she is beginning to doubt her abilities.

“I don't know who you are and why you know Carlos, but surely your whereabouts and those monsters aren't natural. Therefore, you must die.” Vezda said that and he sensed again the power of Overkill.

Right. Now I can master Overkill well and with this, Overkill can be a very helpful force if we are in danger. Vezda understands that now Overkill can become ‘AS’ Card to turn things around.

“You think I'm going to lose? I haven't unleashed my true power.” The woman took off her robe and showed that her body was similar to Carlos and could control the poison in the air.

Vezda is just focused on fighting. Since he had already seen the woman's true figure, his next target was to slash her neck as quickly as possible or his strength could destroy several city blocks. Quickly, Vezda instantly struck the 13 flatwoods with his sword instead of cutting them straight into 1 pile and stabbing them to hold on the ground. His goal was to chop all of that wood at once until he needed a long time to regenerate and the poison would not have too much effect on him if the attack Vezda was about to launch next failed.

“You won't be able to move and now is the time for you to die.” The woman tightened all the wood and Vezda holding the wood locked in place and all the flying poison was ready to slash Vezda with poisons exactly like Carlos's.

However, the thing that the woman forgot was the speed of a Vezda. Vezda quickly jumped up and his speed could not be followed by the woman's eyes. Vezda slashed all the wood so quickly that in less than 1 second Vezda was in front of the woman that Vezda had previously held 13 layers of flatwood 15 meters away from the woman.

“Heh?”

CRAAATH!!

The woman's head was beheaded and her body knelt down. The woman's head fell down with an expression that was still shocked because of what she had just felt. Vezda quickly slashed down the middle of the woman's body then threw his sword to the side and took out the crystal that was on the woman's body.

“Vina, I'm sorry. Thank you for taking care of Carlos as long as he was an adventurer in the city of Femi. Now rest in peace with Carlos. In the next life, please don't ever want to be a monster again and so does Carlos.” Vezda said to Vina who was the monster woman.

The vezda? So it was Vezda that Carlos always wrote. Yes, it turns out that he was kind. So, that was why Carlos respected him so much despite being a monster even though he knew that he could not fight Vezda, Carlos still forced himself. The face of Vina who saw Vezda changed her expression to be amazed to know the person who killed her was Vezda, Carlos' best friend and best friend.

“See you again in the next life, Vezda.” Vina said this and her body and head turned to ashes.

After that Vezda took his sword and walked towards the robe thrown by Vina. In the cloak there are several items and there are 2 books that are more like a diary that has been opened very often.  Then there are necklaces and some other accessories.

A book? Vezda saw that in the woman's cloak there were 2 books. Vezda understood that it could be a source of information for him and the Alliance, but that was not the main information. It was his diary and Carlos's. Information is minor, but at least Vezda and the Alliance will not continue to be in the dark. At least for now since the Aliviah Alliance had to raise money in advance for these few days.

“Fighting using only 1 hand is indeed difficult.” Vezda stuffed both books and items in Vina's cloak into a small bag he was carrying and approached the place where Vezda dropped Vina's knife during the fight.

The knife turned out to have properties such as mithril and adamantine, but nevertheless it was very pronounced and had a weight like a molded tree trunk. Then Vezda used his thumb to check the effect it would have if it hurt and there seemed to be no feeling whatsoever and just hurt as usual and the wound instantly healed because the regeneration of level 5 was arguably quite fast.

When Vezda returned, he saw the new adventurer running and Vezda knew that the adventurer was crying. After that, Samir came out like he was going after the adventurer. Vezda immediately speculated that Ragnulf had done something like this. But it seems that Vezda's speculation is correct as Aleratha is also standing and looks to scold Ragnulf.

“Ragnulf, you're too drunk!” Aleratha scolded Ragnulf, who had become the laughing stock of the other members.

“You okay?” Aleratha asked Vezda who had just returned.

“Yes. Others may have been drunk. Let's talk about it first after we get home from here.” Vezda said to Aleratha.

“Good.” Aleratha answered Vezda and Vezda came out to approach Samir.

“Samir, let's just continue eating you. We'll meet again that adventurer later.” Vezda tried to cheer Samir up a little.

“Good.” Samir answered him briefly and returned to his seat.

Aleratha smiled to see Vezda's figure who turned out to be very caring to her alliance friends who had not even been there 1 day together. Maybe officially because they have interacted a lot with Vezda on the way back to the surface because that's why Vezda can understand all the personalities of every person in the Alliance Aliviah though in a time very brief.

“Syllia? You drunk?” Vezda was surprised to see Syllia's face was so red and like a stagger.

“Ah~ No~ I just~..” Not yet had time to finish his words Syllia had fallen and fortunately had been restrained by Vezda's body.

“Aleratha.” Vezda said to Aleratha while holding Syllia's body.

“As I recall he even only tried 1 sip of wine.” Aleratha said to Vezda.

“Not a good idea for a 15 year old trying wine.” Vezda said and held Celia's shoulder to call out to him.

“I also didn't know that he could make it that way. Celia, please help Syllia, yes.” Aleratha said to Vezda and Celia.

“Baiiik!!” Celia was still cheerful as usual.

Then Aleratha and Vezda sat down next to each other and enjoyed their meal again. Occasionally Vezda laughed at the behavior of his alliance members and also noticed the members who were low-level. Aleratha also saw Vezda who occasionally gave his attention to each member.

“Vezda, you really are like Ragnulf.” Aleratha said to Vezda when she had the chance to say that.

“Heh?”

“You're just very honest. Ragnulf is not like that. He used his rude talk to motivate others.” Aleratha's words embarrassed Vezda and her face turned red.

“Te-Thank you.” Vezda replied to Aleratha nervously.

“Maybe in the future I will give you some children to teach you to fight, but maybe you will be much mocked by Ragnulf.” Aleratha said to Vezda.

I had no idea that my contribution could be so great for the Alliance of Aliviah. Vezda only briefly looked at the figure of Aleratha and resumed his food that he had previously left first because he had to fight secretly.

“Well, how about we discuss an Elf who becomes the idol of a Vezda?” Aliviah said that and Vezda immediately coughed while drinking.

Be ill. Aliviah, seriously? Aleratha is right next to me! Vezda coughed and was in pain from being completely shocked because Aliviah said that.

All the members of the Aliviah Alliance who were Elves were shocked to hear what Aliviah had just said. Because the Elves are a race that does not like to make contact with other races and even really do not want to have romantic relationships with other races. So, actually what Alivia said was stupid. However, on the other hand the Elves who were in the Alliance of Aliviah and most of the Elves who were in Femi City were Elves who fled their hometowns on the grounds of unreasonable Elf traditions. In other words, they actually want to do many things that are not allowed in their traditional hometowns such as building a family or forging love with other races.

“Hee? Turns out a Vezda likes Elf. You turned out to be brave too.” Celia teases Vezda with her face that is already eager to prank her new partner.

“Aliviah, did you forget that I just entered your Alliance?” Vezda said with his evil smile.

“Sials. I just remembered that because you look like an old member. Vezda, I'm sorry.” Aliviah only realized that because the Elf who had a lot of interaction with Vezda for at least the last 1 week was only Aleratha.

“Vezda, Aliviah really hates ludicrous feelings. You must have understood what you have to do.” Aleratha gave the hint to Vezda.

“Thank you, Aleratha. I owe you.” Vezda immediately saw Aliviah's waist and that's what will make Aliviah tormented.

“TIIIIIAAAK!!!!” The screams and laughter became one as Vezda began to tickle Aliviah's waist.

Vezda remained as natural as possible and showed no pain from the fight. Deep in Vezda's heart, dinner was a pleasure for him and Vezda had not felt it for a long time.
