Chapter 70: Temporary Truce
"So, to begin with, I’d like to suggest a temporary truce, just until the Undead King is dealt with," Remarked Aster, as Jules somewhat calmed down.
"Well, we’d be hard-pressed to deal with that monstrosity while also having to fend your group off, so fine, I have no objections to that. Tch, and stop looking at me, haven’t you seen enough!?" She growled at Aster in a sharp whisper.
"Uh, sorry, my bad...also, you don’t need to keep your voice down, I cast a soundproof barrier around the room, so no one can hear us. Your consideration is appreciated though."
"This might be the most humiliating moment of my life, no one’s ever seen me nak-...grr, you bastard. At least the Homunculus has some level of decency," She muttered as she glanced at Raven, whose gaze had been fixed onto the wall this whole time.
"Well, to be fair, biologically speaking, you are half-siblings, so he wouldn’t be interested anyway-..."
"Enough, just get to the point already! You sure do seem to love the sound of your own voice, don’t you?"
"This is so awkward. And it really sucks that the first pair of boobs I’ve seen belong to someone who’s biologically related to me," Raven thought to himself uncomfortably.
"...ouch. But fair. Alright, let’s get to the matter at hand. As I’m sure you experienced, the Undead King can’t be defeated by any normal means. There isn’t any attack that he can’t regenerate from," Explained Aster.
"Yes, I’m well-aware of that, I experienced it firsthand. So, then it is true, you really did fight him in the Quartz Ruins. While fighting him, I tried to keep damaging him to make him use up his Mana so that he wouldn’t be able to regenerate anymore, and he said that someone already tried that. Was that you?"
