Chapter 148: Is This All You’ve Got?!
Leo continued his relentless assault on the monsters, the cave trembling under the sheer force of his attacks. Blood splattered across the walls, and the air was thick with the stench of battle.
’Now let’s put an end to these things before resting,’ he mused, with glowing blue eyes as he started using Thunderbolts and Fireballs into the crowd of enemies.
After ten grueling minutes, Leo struck down the last creature and turned to walk back toward the sleeping women while avoiding all the monster parts and pools of blood that littered the floor. As he approached, he noticed Astra had finally woken up.
The Demon Queen was stretching her arms as she looked at him with a tired but gentle smile. ’’What were you doing, Master? Where did you go?’’ she asked.
’’I was sleeping but got woken up by a horde of monsters waiting on the other side of the barrier making strange noises that were becoming annoying,’’ he replied casually, settling down in front of the fire.
Leo tossed another piece of wood into the flames. ’’So, I decided to deal with them since they were clearly waiting for us.’’
The flames roared to life and sent warm air flowing throughout the room, causing the white-haired beauty to smile. ’’Do you feel better now?’’ she asked.
Archer nodded with a smile. ’’Yes, the wounds have healed and only a few aches linger,’’ he answered before pulling out some Chimera’s Tail Mead.
He handed some to Astra, who accepted it with a smile as she sat up and started drinking. ’’Thank you, Leo.’’
After that, the two began discussing the impending war. During their conversation, Leo learned that there were two routes leading south from the Demon Empire. She already stationed part of the army to guard the mountain passes.
While chatting, Veladra finally woke up with a yawn as she spoke to the duo. ’’Good morning, you two. Are we going to beat the dungeon boss today? We’re on the eightieth floor, right?’’
