"Are you okay! Celia?"

In a dark cave, behind the giant rocks.

The two slender figures were resting behind the giant rocks, and the violent running made them both panting, especially the warlock lady who was often not known for her physical strength.

Margolesia's originally glamorous silver armor was already scarred, and the long sword in her hand was no longer as sharp as before.

A huge scratch on the chest could almost be seen with naked skin, which made people even more frightened.

But even so, Margolesia, the samurai, still did not forget to whisper the carefree companions around her, the warlock lady who had been following her for more than a year.

She always treated her as her sister.

"Margolesia, it's all my fault! If it weren't for me, we wouldn't have taken this task at all! Neither Wicken..."

"I should be the one who should face the dragon and lion, right!"

Celia, a girl with soft gray hair and shiny gray eyes, was muttering to herself, her eyes were dull and her face was full of self-blame.

She grabbed her withered and condensed into a ball of gray hair, which was somewhat bifurcated, and she no longer had the energy of accepting the commission.

"It's not your fault, Celia~, everything is the choice of fate. Even the prophet cannot predict the future. No one knows that the mission location is not a dragon lion, but two, and one has reached the fourth level."

"Besides, we passed this commission unanimously at the beginning. As for Vikon and the others..."

Speaking of this, Margolesia could not continue to talk about it.

Just now, in order to entangle the fourth-level dragon and lion, they bought enough time for their escape.

Wicken, Galiott, Myfarn.

These three wanderers, warriors, and rangers in the morning light and bustling adventure group have been stayed to fight with dragons and lions one after another.

Wicken was the last, the second-level dense forest scout. In the dense forest, he was even more sensitive than apes.

But they were just a few hundred meters away.

When he hid in this dark cave in panic, he had already heard the screams of Wicken and the horrifying sound of chewing bones in the dense forest.

Then, with the roar of the dragon and lion, a large number of birds were shaken up.

I heard that the favorite thing dragon and lions eat is the head of prey. Chewing the head will give them wisdom and learning skills.

Thinking of the fact that Wicken, a teammate who usually talks and laughs with them and likes to play tricks on Liz, ended up like this.

No matter how much Margosia can comfort Celia, she cannot say the words she has no words~.

After all, that was their companion, even if they died, they would be the same.

"Captain! I am the person who should not be alive!"

Celia raised her head, her face full of tears, and the more she thought about it, the more she became more and more broken.

An extremely huge remorse filled her chest, making her feel indescribable.

Especially when I recall the departure of my companions just now, I feel a heart-wrenching pain.

Celia finally felt the pain of the adventurer's parting a year later, and she didn't know whether it was a kind of luck or misfortune.

As a warlock, she is the only spellcaster in the team. She is young and is the most caring person in the team.

Both Viacon and Maifaen were very caring for her, not the love between men and women, but the care of her relatives like her sister.

Even the half-elf ranger Galiott, who is usually taciturn, would say to her when he sees her.

"Ri'an, Miss Celia~."

Even the Gborren Hound, whom he raised, would not enter, and would only recognize one master in his life. When he saw her, he would shook his tail to greet him.

The diluted holy water in the small bag of the group leader Margolesia was prepared for her all year round, and she was willing to use any minor injuries.

No matter how serious the injury is, I will only smile and say that I am a soldier. This injury is nothing and I can't bear to use it.

When she woke up from meditation in the middle of the night, Celia, who was sleeping, could hear Margosia sleeping together, and a hissing sound came.

Although Celia knew that this might be the cause of her own magician's charm, this care cannot be faked.

When Margolesia, who was standing by, saw that Celia was about to collapse, she quickly comforted her.

"It is precisely because of this, Celia, that you can't let their sacrifices be in vain!"

"You who have the blood of warlocks will definitely avenge them!"

“…”

“Qiuqiu~”

What else did Margolesia want to say? A quick and scattered sound came from outside the cave, and a silver figure suddenly crashed into Celia's soft arms.

It was Celia's pseudo-dragon demon pet, Liz, who was standing on Celia's lap at this time.

While gestured with his wings, he communicated with Celia in front of him with his voice.

"It said, the dragon and lion came towards this cave!"

"How is that possible!"

Margolesia's voice was obviously one decibel higher, and it could not hide its surprise.

"The dragon and lion cannot live in a dark and damp cave. I have just dealt with the blood on my body and the traces in front of the cave. There is no reason why it will find it here."

Most of the lives of dragons and lions stay on the ground, and a small number stay in the sky. As for underground caves, they are not the places they like to go.

"But Liz won't lie to me! The truth is, it's indeed coming to us."

As she was about to face danger again, Celia seemed to calm down and stroked Liz's trembling body and said.

"It seems that we are all going to die here today, Commander!"

"Liz, don't come out later!"

Celia told her demon pet, and then handed it some small accessories on her body.

"When you go back to the north, can you help me find that girl? The girl with vertical pupils dragonborn you met last time, and hand it over to her."

"Don't tell her, I'm dead."

“Qiuqiu~”

Liz looked at the warlock girl who could make roasted black pine sturgeon with a sadness. Is her journey of adventurer that is about to end here for less than two years?

"No!"

Seeing Celia saying goodbye with her last words, Margolesia gritted her teeth and endured her chest that was a little painful.

Just now, when they dealt with the corpse of another dragon and lion, the first person to attack was her.

If Celia hadn't put the [Master Armor] on her in time, she might have died earlier than anyone else.

He stood up, grabbed Celia's weak and boneless little hand and pulled her up.

"There must be a road down there, and I think we still have a chance!"

"Celia, no matter when it is, we cannot give up hope, because now, you are not alone!"

"You are still carrying the lives of others. Myfarn's sister is still waiting for him in the White Tower City. Are you planning to just ignore it? You really disappointed me!"

After saying that, Margolesia's words were already reprimanded, which was a heavy word she had never said to Celia.

However, these heavy words made the girl with dull gray eyes light up slightly, as if she had a little attachment to the world.

"Will there must be a way down there! If you want to die, I have to die in front of you!"

Margolesia let go of her hands, took the lead, and headed towards the deeper cave.

Celia hesitated for less than three seconds and followed Liz with her.

A minute later, one of them had lion characteristics, but the scales and wings were all brass dragon creatures. After walking to the giant rock, he sniffed it there with fine steps.

Then, the dragon and lion with a mane with a color matching the scales made another roar like thunder in the cave!

Discover you! Invaders!

This giant beast weighing 1,500 pounds was familiar to travel through the dark cave.

Smell the residual smell in the air and chase forward.
