SELECT DUNGEON'S STORY - Nephilim's Corruption

Chapter 14 - Exploration of the Dungeon Together

Before Dawn dawned, Vezda had already woken up and prepared some items that would be brought to head to the dungeon and definitely worked to earn money. The reason was of course he did not want to be a burden within the alliance and indeed Vezda was here to continue his adventure. Vezda simply prepared a few items on his bed and went to the dining room for breakfast. Because it was still very early in the morning, Vezda had to prepare his own food because there was no one there. Vezda prepared a simple meal for himself.

After he finished eating, Vezda did some light warm-ups before preparing himself to return to the dungeon. The warm-up Vezda does is the same as the exercise for the other members, but Vezda only trains his breathing while meditating after stretching. Actually while practicing it, Vezda took quite a lot of time and some other members saw it and were a little confused by what Vezda was doing.

“Vezda.” Catherine, who was with Alfred, saw that Vezda had finished meditating on Vezda.

“Chatty, Alfred. You guys just finished practicing?” Vezda asked the two of them.

“Betul. We just finished practicing.” Alfred answered Vezda.

“Why do you just keep quiet like that, Vezda? You look like someone who fell asleep while sitting.” Catherine asked Vezda because she was also confused about the exercises Vezda was doing.

“I meditate to calm the mind and also regulate breathing.” Vezda explained to Catherine.

“Ah. I remember the captain talking about Vezda's breathing arrangement when we first met him. Because it regulates breathing calmly and focuses on what to do, Vezda can have a very low heart rate despite being in a very precarious state Alfred apparently recalled what Captain Laris had talked about and Vezda smiled proudly.

“Betul. You will also receive training like me. Maybe me or another elite member will train you.” Vezda said happily to both of them.

“We?” Alfred asked doubtfully.

“Yes, it is true that those of you who are at level 4 and lower will receive this training. This training will be useful in a very fierce fight or maybe just to regulate your breathing when running for a very long time.” Vezda.

“Wah, I'm already impatient.” Catherine said happily at that moment.

“Just wait for news from the captain, yes. Then you guys have breakfast first with the others.” Vezda said to both of them.

“Good!!” They both said and left and Vezda just smiled looking at them.

As the sun was getting brighter, Vezda rushed to Captain Laris' room to ask permission to descend into the dungeon for a few days. Vezda plans to go alone because Vezda is still willing to explore many areas around the 30th floor. Vezda is very interested in some of the floors there and does want to learn a lot about the area on the 30th floor and its surroundings.

“Friends?” Vezda is confused to see that there are already Celia, Calia, Samir, and Syllia who will also enter the room of Captain Laris.

“Vezda. What do you need to do to get to the Captain's room?” Calia asked Vezda as they were at the door of Laris' room.

“I want to ask permission to go to the dungeon alone. What do you need yourself?” vezda answered Calia's question.

“It just so happens that we also want to invite Captain Laris to the dungeon. Then let's go together.” Calia answered Vezda with pleasure.

“Alright then. I'll come with you guys with pleasure.” Vezda said and they all looked happy and Calia knocked at the door and entered the room together.

“Captain, we are in.” Calia said as she opened the door and saw Laris and Aleratha at work.

“Tumben once you guys flocked in here. What's up?” Aleratha asked each of them.

“Kak Aleratha is also here.” Syllia was also surprised because there was Alertaha who was on duty in Laris' room.

“Captain, we will go together to the dungeon for 1 week. Is the captain coming with us?” Calia asked Laris who was at work.

“Ah. A little more done. Well, it looks like to the dungeon is a good idea.” Laris said as she put down her quill pen and Calia looked very happy when Laris agreed to come along to the dungeon.

“I actually plan to go to the dungeon myself, but as if together will be more crowded.” Vezda said to Laris.

“Don't make it Vezda's habit. I understand you learned a lot about monsters, but don't underestimate dungeon.” Alerataha said to Vezda while closing the scroll of the file he was holding.

“Betul and also we are already together it is good we go into the dungeon to start raising funds and also maybe supplies for the upcoming expedition. Aleratha, will you come too?” Laris said to them and asked Aleratha.

“I will be coming, but maybe Bromner will be a little lonely for 1 week because he has to do the task and work alone.” Aleratha said to Laris.

“Oh, yes. Please keep this a secret from Ragnulf. I'm sure he'll keep blabbering and noisy if he comes along with us.” Celia finally said to Laris.

“It is good not to go down in full force because we also do not know what will happen on the surface. So, it would be better if there were still Ragnulf and Bromner here to do other things.” Obviously Laris.

“Well, since we have agreed, let's get ready and gather in front of the Tower after lunch.” Laris continued his words after standing up from his seat.

“SIAAAP EXECUTE!!!” Everyone, except Vezda, Aleratha, and Samir cheered happily.

***

Vezda walked towards the Kyana Alliance store with his equipment ready to head for the dungeon. Vezda to Kyana Alliance store with Celia and Samir. Although Vezda had been to the Kyana Alliance several times, it was probably the second time he had met the shopkeeper who had previously served Vezda when Vezda first met him.

“Hai, Adventurer. We meet again. Is there anything I can help you with?” The girl smiled sweetly towards Vezda.

“Heh? Vezda, have you met Neisa?” Celia asked because she saw Vezda like she had met the girl.

“Actually I was here to sell Unicorn horns on the first day I came to Femi.” Vezda to Celia.

“Betul. Maybe you've been to our treatment site a few times as well, but I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Neisa Coldidre.” Neisa introduced herself to Vezda officially.

“I Vezda Fenias. It's an honor to know you.” Vezda also introduced himself.

“Ah, yes we want to buy some of the best elixir herb.” Celia asked Neisa.

“Good. I'll get you the elixir potion first.” Neisa said and tried to reach the highest shelf where she stored the potion and looked very difficult.

“Neisa, do you need help?” Celia was a little pity seeing Neisa struggling hard to pick up the basket containing the potion.

“Ti-No. I...can...myself.” Neisa said with difficulty and finally managed to take down the basket containing elixir potion.

“All right we bring everything. This is for payment yes.” Vezda said and put down a bag of platine the amount needed to pay for all the herbs.

“Eh? You directly pay for everything?” Celia was surprised to see Vezda instantly pay for all those potions.

“Of course. I never owe anyone anything if it is not needed.” Vezda said to Celia and lifted the basket containing the elixir potion.

“Good. Thank you very much Neisa. Is there anything you want from a dungeon? We might be going down to the 30th floor or so.” Celia asked Naisa.

“I want to ask please bring 30 bone factor, yes.” Neisa said to Celia.

“Good. We'll bring it. Then we leave first.” Celia cheerfully waved her hands and they left.

“See you again, friends.” Neisa said with a smile.

“Vezda, you brought all the weapons?” Calia asked because she saw Vezda carrying a clam and two machetes.

“Of course. I also brought this dagger.” Vezda showed me the back of his waist where he kept his knife.

“Fill your supplies and we head for dungeon.” Laris said and everyone prepared to head for the dungeon.

****

Vezda inside the dungeon paid more attention to his other friends fighting against monsters to record their every ability and also recorded many things from the monster attacks and attack patterns. Surely while taking out many crystals from the monster body. This Vezda did because when he first walked to the surface together, Vezda did not have time to take notes because his arm was only 1 and had to prepare to keep the alliance members who had low levels.

“Vezda, are you not going to train by killing monsters?” Aleratha asked Vezda who was taking the crystals from a pack of monster corpses they had just slaughtered.

“No. Just relax I am also looking at how each of us fighting style so that I can be more helpful and complete our group.” Vezda said to Aleratha and Aleratha happily together with Vezda to accompany her.

At that time Vezda noticed that Aleratha was also not a witch who could only fight long distances, but also had close combat without any difficulties, although his endurance was unlike any other as a frontline fighter. When he saw Aleratha fighting at close range, Vezda also sometimes saw how beautiful an Aleratha and of course Vezda occasionally smiled without cause when he saw Aleratha.

“Vezda, I'm curious.” Celia suddenly said as Vezda changed positions to be on the front because Vezda was willing to kill some monsters as well.

“Hmm? Why, Celia?” Vezda asked Celia.

“Do you really like Aleratha?” That innocent question surprised every one of them, except Laris and her twin who were not completely thought out with her brother's question.

“Wah. Brother Aleratha.” Syllia asked with her face reddened and also saw Aleratha whose face had turned red, but Aleratha was neither angry nor refuting anything Celia said.

“From all the discussion, why did you ask that, Celia?” Vezda asked Celia.

“Because I thought a little about what Aliviah said at the bar that you like an Elf, but I saw you closer to Aleratha than Syillia or Alise. Added to yesterday's incident.”Celia said like a completely innocent child.

“Shhh!” Vezda suddenly gave a stop sign to all the members of the group.

“Everything, prepare weapons. Prepare to fight.” Laris said to everyone and everyone prepared their weapons.

“Monster Parade. There are 6 amplified monsters and the rest are regular monsters.” Vezda easily knows details from a very long distance just like Laris.

“Vezda, Calia, Celia. Frontline. Samir back line. Aleratha and Syllia. Start casting spells.” Laris gave orders to everyone and they all immediately moved into position.

Vezda and Laris were right. Monster Parade with a large number and there are 6 reinforced monsters. Vezda prepared by using his knife, Celia used a sword that had 2 blades and it was very large, and Calia used 2 similar machetes.

“Celia, Calia. I'll align my attacks with the two of you.” Vezda said right before starting the battle.

“Good.” Celia and Calia said simultaneously.

Then when the group of monsters had entered their attack range, Vezda, Celia, and Calia immediately advanced to slaughter all the monsters. The attacks of the three of them were very aligned as if they had prepared for those attacks. Nmaun, it also had a limit as the parade monsters appeared from the right and left sides. Surely, Syllia and Aleratha were almost done chanting their spells.

“The three of you are back here!” Laris gives orders to Vezda, Celia, and Calia when the magic circle has appeared under the feet of Aleratha and Syillia. Surely the three of them immediately retreated without thinking anything more.

“LEEGI TORN!” Aleratha and Syllia used the same magic and everything there turned to ashes as the pillar of fire destroyed everything in its path.

Vezda never ceases to be amazed by the two witches. Syllia and Aleratha. Although Syllia was still sitting on Lavel 3, her magic power could match Aleratha even though it took a longer time in her spell dispatch.

“Wait a minute. All the amplified monsters are not effective against fire.” After the pillar of fire descended, Calia looked at the 6 monsters that were still advancing without any injuries.

“Dance of Scorching Flame - Scorching Dragon Dance.” Vezda darted by himself very quickly and decapitated the six monsters in 1 attack.

It was beautiful that dance.

Vezda, your dance is the deadliest weapon.

His movements were extremely fast, powerful, and extremely beautiful like a dragon.

Vezda, how wonderful your movements are.

Just waiting time to see Vezda's original abilities, yeah.

Well, even the beauty of an Elf cannot match the beauty of her movements.

Aleratha, Laris, Samir, Celia, Calia, and Syllia were stunned and silent for a few seconds upon seeing the movements from Vezda. The movement has never been seen by anyone other than Aliviah himself. The movement of attacking the enemy and anyone who sees it is like seeing a fire dragon that is burning anything that blocks its way. At that moment they saw a very strong figure was re-inserting his sword after clearing the bloodstains that were on the blade. The breath of Vezda could also be felt by others. Warm, win, and comfortable.

“Vezda, is it one of the techniques you have mastered from the duration of your training?” Aleratha asked Vezda as she approached him.

“Iya right. This is *N*oble Technique which is a technique of my own creation.” Vezda said and Celia really looks happy to see the rapid development of Vezda despite just sitting at level 5 like herself.

“I never stop feeling impressed with every way of fighting yours which is very beautiful and unlike adventurers in general.” Laris said to Vezda while taking out some crystals that had fallen from the monsters.

“Thank you, Captain.” Vezda replies and helps Laris retrieve the crystal that fell.

“Vezda, do you want to train some members later for breathing settings only?” Aleratha asked as they all walked towards the deeper floor.

“I don't mind. But, maybe I should learn first with you in training the other alliance members because I fear there is a different way of training between the current alliance members and my former aliansiku members.” Vezda said to Aleratha.

“It turns out that Aleratha and Vezda are very compatible if they become a couple.” Celia goes back to discussing this when she sees how close Aleratha and Vezda are.

“Celia, Aleratha is High Elf. I don't need to mention High, he's an Elf. I'm just a human with a curse embedded in my body.” Vezda says it because in fact even though Vezda loves Aleratha, she never deserves a High Elf like Aleratha.

Right. I'm just an ordinary human being. Elves are basically a very great race when compared to humans. A very insulting thing if Elves want to have a relationship with humans maybe even a High Elf will be sentenced to death if they are in love with humans. That's what Vezda understood as long as he lived. Elves and other races might not be able to forge love, unless they were willing to throw away their honor.

“Vezda, I also have the same friend as me, High Elf. He currently has a child with a human. Never humble yourself like that.” Aleratha said to Vezda as she walked without looking at Vezda. This word surprised the other friends

“Wait a minute Brother. What's happening with sister's friend now?” Syllia asked Alerahta.

“Living her happy life as a mother, regardless of race differences.” Aleratha replied to Syllia with a smile.

“Vezda, I don't want to hear anything from anyone else about how you feel about me. When you return, face me. I want to hear everything right out of your mouth.” Aleratha said this and all of them immediately set their sights on Aleratha.

“I hope you two get a wonderful ending together.” Laris simply said and smiled towards Aleratha and Vezda while Aleratha's face flushed red.
