Chapter 420 SeiXSally?
We went down to the water and dipped our feet into the cool ocean waves after we ate. Only after we played a bit did we finally gather our things and look at the mountain peak in front of us. "Shall we clear the way up to the mountain peak?"
"Let's do it!" Sally was now raring to go. Her stomach was also protruding quite a bit. One thing I did notice about this trip was that Sei was very much attached to Sally. She always seemed overly concerned with the silly rabbit girl, which I do not mind but still find quite amusing. Well, not so much amusing but more cute because Sei is like the boy who had just met her first love, and it seems to have only happened just recently.
I leaned towards Adel and asked: "Have you noticed?"
"Mmmm…. It's cute. Although I do not think Sally realizes it yet, but Sei is definitely trying to show her interest." Adel replied.
"Sally might not swing that way, though. She did seem to like that catfish prince at one point. But who knows? You were able to make me like girls, so maybe after a while, she will give in." I teased as I nudged Adel. She smiled and kissed my cheek.
"No fair, me too!" Sophie cried out as she came over and kissed my other cheek. I couldn't help but laugh. These girls, Iena and Diablo, bring smiles to my face. And I hope I can always keep a smile on their faces as well.
We killed our way toward the mountain to find that there was no path up this mountain. If we wanted to reach the top, we would need to fly or climb. "I will carry Sophie and Adel. Sei, can you carry Sally?"
"Huh? But I can…. Huh!? Wait, what are you doing!? I can go up by myself….." I chuckled as I watched Sei quickly scoop Sally up into a princess carry with a big smile. "It's okay, you should save your energy."
"Sei!" Sally's cheeks blushed as her ears danced about. It was very cute. I, on the other hand, had a girl in each arm wrapped around their waists as I flew up using my wings. Sei used air steps to move up the mountain, and lastly, Atollie flapped her wings and followed closely behind me.
We slowly made our way up, stopping every so often to adjust to the new temperatures as the temperature dropped. Sally sat there and pouted due to Sei overly pampering her. But she did not seem to resist too much, so I guess you can say that maybe things will work out well for the two.
When we reached the cloud bank, I ended up wrapping us in a barrier and used wind magic to blow the clouds away from us, similar to how I did with the seawater on the previous floor. One thing I did not understand, though, was why was the door on top of a mountain? Were these two floors just for recreation? Like some kind of break in the dungeon. I mean, most of the monsters did not drop anything, and the crabs were slow and only attacked when attacked. However, I did stock up on tons of crab meat.
A lot about the two floors was confusing, but the passage to the next floor was both at two extremes. One was deep on the ocean floor, while the other was on top of a mountain that rose into the sky. But I, of all people, know not to think too much about such things since these dungeons never really made much sense to me.
When we pushed through the cloud bank, we finally found the entrance, which was situated just below the peak on a small ledge. We landed and quickly entered the stairwell, and I must say the temperature difference was like night and day. While it was cold in the air, this stairwell made the mountain peak air seem like a summer vacation.
"Everyone, use warming magic. Sei, keep Sally warm." I teased, causing Sally to blush and Sei to nod her head. "As the Empress commands!"
Sei saluted me and proceeded to hug Sally, causing Sally to stamp her feet and push her away. "I can use warming magic!"
Sophie came over and nudged me, giving me a thumbs up. "They are cute together. And the way Sally is acting, it seems like it will only be a matter of time."
"I do hope they will. They have been good friends for a long time now. But Sally always seems more worried about you even though she can't follow you as much anymore." Sophie made a good point. But I will not interfere too much. I will give Sei as much help as I can get. It will be up to Sally if she is willing to accept her or not.
"Well, now that you girls have jumped so high in level you can follow me anywhere now," I said as I scratched Sophie's ears, causing her tail to wag back and forth. I couldn't resist, so I ended up tilting her head to the side and sinking my teeth into her. While I needed blood to survive, eating that crab still tasted pretty good.
We made our way down the stairs until we reached the bottom. When we pushed open the door, we were met with a frozen wasteland. The bitterly cold wind blew by at a high speed. I could only set up a barrier around us to block out the snow and wind that was pelting the land. It was hard to see much in front of us, but with detection magic, I could at least tell that there were monsters on this floor. I expanded my barrier as much as I could. But unlike the ocean floor, my barrier was not able to go more than a few hundred feet. Why this was, I do not know. Maybe a reverse effect of the sea floor. On this floor, I could use detection, but the barrier could only go out so far. Either way, I could make it big enough for us to at least be able to fight within it.
