Chapter One-Hundred-and-Seventy-Four
After completing the Wine District Ball quest and objective, Adam and Kat headed for the Rose Terrace tavern in the western part of the district. Kat had chugged down glass after glass of vodka served to her, and Adam thought the only reason she hadn’t passed out or puked all over the hall was due to the bloodfiend beast transformation.
But regardless of how much resistance to alcohol it gave her, Adam was forced to carry her most of the way, since she was seriously at risk of hurting herself and breaking the illusion created by her mask. Fortunately, Kat wasn’t a bad drunk, in fact she was disturbingly quiet the entire trip.
I’ve never carried as many people before as I have in this one loop, Adam mused to himself.
He kept his senses spread out for any bloodfiend melodies, but it was eerily silent. There were no shrieking screams or swooping fliers. For some reason, the total lack of monsters in the night was somehow more terrifying than knowing they were surrounded by them.
I haven’t received an update for my patron quest, so something has to be missing.
He looked to his cube. “How many bloodfiends are left in this stage?”
[I cannot say.]
“How many have I killed?”
[You have personally eliminated 2 First Generation Bloodfiends, 8 Second Generation Bloodfiends, 30 Third Generation Bloodfiends, and 77 Lesser Bloodfiends.]
