Chapter 89: Milenia Past
That night, Agares and Milenia were relaxing in the lounge of Milenia’s residence. On the table, there were cookies, water, and a bottle of wine kept chilled in a large bowl full of ice to make the wine feel cold without altering its taste.
Milenia smiled, opening one of the three wine bottles stored in the large bowl. With delight, the woman poured the wine into two different glasses, one for herself and one for Agares.
"You could say, a pet is your life companion in a different sense, not a life partner."
"I used to have one, but I lost him," Milenia explained, her eyes fixed on the wine in her glass.
"Since then, I’ve never formed a pet contract with any pet again. I don’t want to replace him."
Agares listened to Milenia’s life story, especially about her close bond with her pegasus horse. Unfortunately, Milenia’s pegasus was severely injured when they were on floor 66.
She couldn’t heal her pet, internal injuries along with a dark curse significantly drained the pet’s vitality. Milenia regretted not learning dispel magic, relying too much on her priest friend.
But priest was the most vulnerable hero job compared to other hero jobs. Priests could only perform healing, purification, and support roles.
Sometimes there were priests who could use light barriers, but their numbers were few and their protection was lacking.
To fight high-level monsters like those in this S-level dungeon, light barrier magic might only be effective against monsters below floor 30.
If higher, the damage dealt was massive and had a high chance of breaking the light barrier.
