Chapter 88 - A Husband Stops The Chasers And Learns About The New God!
Josef explained the situation briefly, but struck all the important points!
The information provided by him was something that Kyoya was glad for. The huge amount of the bha stones would be enough for a few months at most which are not something he was satisfied with.
But the origin should be sated with more energy as it gives birth to bha stones daily. This would last for a long time! By the time the origin gets depleted out of its energy, Kyoya will have been probably doing more research on higher floors with much higher energies!
The only one who was not so satisfied with Josef's appearance was Xaya. She wanted the night adventure to be with her husband only! As clingy as she is, Xaya couldn't approve of Josef.
It was a man who was exuding 'filthy' vibes as well.
As a man, Josef's eyes landed on Xaya's features and so he commented inwardly how amazing she is. This was enough for Xaya to put the man in the same category as filth. The former experiences likewise became insignificant.
If Kyoya didn't get so heated in the conversation with him, Xaya would've already nudged her husband's clothes and given the quest to kill the filth who has disturbed their night!
Why wouldn't she?
It was their first night adventure that was already satisfying! It can be even more, so the appropriate quest should be given! A yandere wife nodded inwardly to herself, but still decided to speak to her husband.
Looks like the past experiences somehow have influenced her in the end!
[Xaya: Husband! I don't want to be with this man! He is filth!]
[Kyoya: Just ignore this. I had my eyes on him from the beginning and he just glanced at you once. Other than that, he kept a considerable distance and only spoke with me.]
The couple used their game system to speak. The chat was rarely used by Xaya as she is always with her husband! The lady only used this chat right now due to the speed at which Kyoya and Josef had been running for.
Other than getting chased by adventurers, why would the two men run at the highest speed possible?
[Xaya: Husband! I don't like it! This should be our night adventure!]
[Kyoya: Our night adventure? If so, then why did I have to slap your ass to get permission to go outside?! If I had done nothing, then you would've been sitting on me with a sulky mood! I worked for this night, so you have to listen to me on this adventure! Besides, we already talked about this… You are going to inevitably grab the attention! Unlike the other adventurers, Josef said nothing and secretly admired your beauty! Realize the difference!]
[Xaya: Stupid husband! I don't like this at all and that's what should matter!]
[Kyoya: Shut up and don't thrash around!]
It is only the second floor.
The husband convinced himself in this way while believing that Xaya will realize the differences after more adventures. He then threw his eyes forward! The adventurers have been chasing them already for a good amount of time, but the signs of exhaustion had neither appeared on both parties.
"We have to go deeper! I have been here for more than three months secretly, so I do know where the origin is!"
"Don't you know the techniques to hide us here?"
"I do but I need some time to prepare!"
"Then, I will give you time!"
"I need five minutes at most!"
[300 seconds! 299 seconds! 298 seconds!]
The game system has helped Kyoya immediately after Josef began preparing the technique. The sound of timer's ticking was the only sound ringing in Kyoya's ears, but only for a little. The torches scattered across the narrow corridors became the first targets of Kyoya's cards. Leaving no trails behind, the cards extinguished the source of light. Then, the husband's arms swung in front as he threw his cards in a straight direction.
He didn't need to aim.
In such a narrow corridor that became the hollow of darkness, Kyoya just had to send his cards forward against his enemies. The best cards with the divine demon's belief quickly had become the source of despair for the adventurers as those at the hem couldn't dodge at all!
It was so narrow and crowded, then not like their comrades would stop in time. Moreover, Kyoya's cards were close to soundless, their sound could be only described as a breeze that was common in the mine from time to time.
'I will build up the obstacle from the bodies of your fallen comrades.'
There was no need for any excuses.
Vicious as he must be in this situation, Kyoya didn't spare any cards at all. He was constantly in the move, his hands barely getting any rest from all this exercise. Of course, Kyoya's sharp eye was not developed to see through the darkness. It was the concept that he realized just now! In the future, such ability should be surely developed! Thus, Kyoya relied on his game system and the painful cries of the fallen adventurers.
[You have inflicted Critical Attack!]
[A bleeding has ensued for the unknown adventurer!]
"Throw him to the side! Fuck! What if those bastards had long escaped further?!
"Just trample them down!"
"No! I am still alive! No, no!"
"Uuuhh!"
The commotion erupted within the ranks of the chasers! The wounded ones didn't want to die in such a lame way, their bodies going up to make a path or at least to save themselves. The urgency of the situation was so alerting that the camaraderie just disappeared on the spot. The adventurers began crashing into each other like fools and so Kyoya's lips turned a little cruel.
He was feeling satisfied just from that alone. His plans turned out to be successful, albeit, those plans weren't anything grand. But he had done it. No one had come closer to his wife nor him. No one has reached out for him to kill or scheme only to get their hands on his wife!
Every filth got stopped!
"Kyoya, come!"
After Kyoya copped his wife's hand, he and Xaya disappeared into the wall. It was a technique that masked any trails of a human's hands to cover its user! Within that wall, Kyoya and Xaya found Josef smiling at them rather gaily.
"We can stay here for ten days! I have altered the land with the belief of Lord Aron!"
"That's great."
A new name has entered Kyoya's mind. He wanted to ask about this Lord just out of curiosity and to kill time as well. On the contrary to the husband's positive emotions, Xaya was looking gloomily.
Ten days with the filth?
She couldn't approve of this no matter what!
But yet again, Kyoya and Josef engaged in the conversation between two men where Xaya felt like she had no room to be with. Dissatisfied like never before, her arms wrapped around Kyoya's neck to hug him from behind. She also pouted behind his back, then a soft harumph escaped her lips.
This had startled Josef who didn't know what to do. Should he let the couple be alone? That's what he should do, but Kyoya totally ignored his wife. He followed his principles and urged Josef to share the stories about The Lord, Aron.
"Lord Aron is one of the new gods. The Lord doesn't have many believers and even his own land… But The Lord is really a nice god. Not only the situation of his was gently explained to me with his own words, but The Lord also shared about his own situation genuinely. We, the new believers of the new god, are working to make the divine land for our Lord! Right now, he is in the heavenly palace! I am sure you haven't heard about this! It is a really awesome place where all divine related individuals gather! Just the name itself is awesome."
Josef was full of energy when he spoke about his god. It was clear that his dreams were raised by the god and he even felt like there was a possibility of him reaching the great heights, maybe even the heavenly palace itself!
If he plays a big part in his god's growth, then it might be the case for real! Furthermore, it looked like Josef genuinely enjoys being the believer of Lord Aron.
As for Kyoya, he nearly got suffocated. It was because Xaya's hug became so tight it was close to being deadly. Of course, the heavenly palace was the source of Xaya's greatest pain. It was momentary action and Kyoya quickly regained his composure…
But his mind was full of questions.
'That bastard is here… I wonder what kind of divine energy he possesses.'
