Chapter 36: Dungeon Date (2)
Within moments, the beach was littered with direwolf corpses. The white sand was now marred with patches of crimson blood, mingling with the endless sea before them.
"Wow... this takes me back!" Sophia grinned, her face glowing with joy, and Adrian couldn’t keep his eyes off her. "Is there something on my face?"
"Nah... I was remembering the last time we were stuck in an instance dungeon," Adrian replied before they got busy butchering the monster corpses for valuables.
Like him, Sophia had been weak in the beginning when they first arrived in Nexaria. In fact, she was the last one in their group to manifest an ability.
But before that time, Adrian and Sophia were the support team members. In other terms, they were the porters for the other heroes. During those times, their relationship blossomed and never changed, even when Sophia became the strongest hero in their batch.
Back in their support team days, they used to butcher many monster corpses. Now, as they found themselves doing it again, a wave of nostalgia washed over them.
While Sophia couldn’t care less about the loot, Adrian couldn’t let the opportunity to earn money go away. So she decided to help him out, like in the old days.
"That reminds me, you killed that minotaur, right?" Sophia asked, turning to face Adrian. "I mean, you’re... Nevermind-"
"Relax, will you?" Adrian chuckled.
