Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 204: Pocket

Nessa opened up her dimensional pocket and placed the swords inside and while walking around, she picked up a few gold bars and others things that might come in use for her in the future.

The others noticed Nessa was hesitating to take things and Yonja approached her and she glanced at him with a smile on her face.

"What's the matter?" She asked.

"I should be the one asking you that question, why are you hesitating to take things?" He asked and she lowered her head and he sighed. Explore more stories with m,v l'e-NovelFire

"Nessa those who clear the dungeon are free to take it, stop hesitating, take what you like," He said and she smiled at him.

"All right," She replied as she looked at the different types of crystals within a box and he smiled.

[These are rare; they can be used to make various weapons and armor, but only a dwarf can make them.]

"You're not going to leave those high-quality materials lying around, Nessa. They even command a high market price, people would love to buy that," Yonja said and she smiled before picking up the entire box and placing it in her pocket, which she kept open until she was finished.

"Now, what more will be of use to us?" Nessa asked as Isamu touched her feet and she looked at him, then saw he had something in his paw and took it.

"It's for you," He said and she smiled, starting at the amber necklace in her hand and she sighed, then placed it in her pocket before crouching down and hugging him.

"Thank you, Isamu, it's beautiful," She mumbled.

"You are welcome, you deserve it, no one is going to be coming here, I suggest you take all the gold you want, they will come in use in the future since they fetch a good price," He said quietly and she smiled before getting up and passing her fingers on Terou's head.

"Nessa, do you want a stabilizer?" Cortan asked and she glanced at him.

"What's that?" She asked.

"It's used to store large magical items, it can even help stabilize someone's energy as well and it can turn it into a different type of energy, we won't use it, it's expensive, but people can use it to do bad things to others, so if you want it..." He said and Yonja grabbed it from his hand and placed it in her pocket and she looked at all of the different things in their hands which they found valuable for themselves and she chuckled.

"You guys are all just difficult, aren't you?" She asked.

"We just like to have things our way, besides this is nothing bad we are doing," Cortan responded and she exhaled deeply before sensing a strange energy around them and she looked around, but saw nothing, the only thing that was visible to her was the almost empty room.

"Are you guys sure we are allowed to take this?" She asked.

"It's not like it's the royals, we got it, it's only natural we don't let it waste, these things can help in more than one way, many ways, am I right guys?" Cortan asked and they all nodded in agreement with him and she patted him on the shoulder.

"I understand, now let's hurry this up and leave, I feel like sleeping in a nice and soft bed very soon," Nessa said, and Cortan chuckled as Nessa sensed something or someone looking at them and her eyes began to glow orange as she continued to look around, but no one else sensed it, which is why she didn't say anything, but she became concerned.

"Nessa, are you okay? Your eyes are glowing again," Ian said and Nessa smiled.

"Don't worry, it has a habit of doing that," She responded as Isamu and Terou collected a few more things and placed it in the pocket and she smiled at them and how much of a good choice they had.

After a while, the other finished getting what they wanted and everyone was ready to go home.

"Guys, you at least took back a bag for the royals right?" Sophia asked.

"Of course we did, we can't leave them out, after all, they are important in this as well, we didn't find what they wanted," Yonja responded and Nessa smirked as the ground began shaking and they jumped as they began walking to leave the dungeon, but after exiting the hallway, they saw the room they just came out of crumbling and they gasped as that part of the building collapsed and Niva sighed in relief.

"I am glad we came out before that happened," She said and Nessa's eyes narrowed as they all began hearing growling and Nessa scoffed.

"You have been sensing something, haven't you?" Yonja asked and Nessa looked at him before nodding and he exhaled deeply before looking around.

"I don't see anything around here, if you can sense it, then why can't we?" He asked and she sighed.

"I don't know, but I think it's related to the roar earlier and whatever it is, it's really big," She responded and Isamu and Terou glanced at her and she looked at them then smiled and patted them on the head.

"We will be just fine, don't worry," She mumbled and Isamu lowered his head, wondering what kind of beast they will be facing next, he knew Nessa was strong enough to defend herself and the others but if they were in danger she would out herself in it to save them no matter what the consequences may be.

"Well, let's get out of this section as fast as possible, we need to hurry out of here, I don't want to fight something I am not supposed to be fighting in the first place, we won't be able to win every fight that comes our way in this place," Yonja said and the others agreed with him.

At that moment, Isamu resolved to protect her no matter what, even if it meant revealing his true form, which he didn't mind doing, because he remembered that he had taken an oath to protect her, and that's what came first to him.
