Volume 6.5 Chapter 2: How Much Was He Holding Back?
"Hoo!" "Hey, girl! Did you miss me?" Keith patted the owl's head. It had been quite some time since he last saw her. Aria flapped her wings as she pecked Keith's cheeks,
"Aww, I miss you as well."
"Is that a Blizzard Owl?" Titus's eyes widened in shock. He knew what kind of monster she was, and the aura emanating from her was nothing short of deadly!
"Mmhmm. This is my familiar." Keith nodded as he turned back to Aria, "Aria, I need your help dealing with monsters." With two people, heading to the lower floors would be a near-impossible job. However, adding the blizzard owl would change things. Aria was by far the best at sensing monsters in the area. Not only that, her ice magic could be used defensively and offensively, depending on the situation.
"Hoo!" Aria screeched. She was ready for a rumble.
"Thanks a lot." Keith smiled and turned to Titus, "Titus, we can go down now." They were prepared.
"..." Titus stayed silent before laughing, "Kid, you are full of surprises!" He was already amazed with how Keith used his earth magic. But having a contract with the blizzard owl was something!
"Heh, you know me." Keith scratched his head. Like that, the two started to walk. However, their path wasn't straightforward.
"We need to find it." With how they fell down so many floors, there was a lot of rubble around. It made it difficult to walk. What was more, they weren't on the path.
They needed to find it.
"Snort!" The two turned around to see a giant velociraptor. Titus frowned as he raised his heavy sword. Darn it! A contorted expression formed; the hole in his chest ached. The velociraptor charged at him, ready to bite at them!
However,
Swish! The monster's head went flying.
"!" Titus stared at Keith, wiping his blades.
"Titus, we need to keep going." "Alright."
How much is he holding back? Titus was surprised by how Keith was using his magic. Yet, his swordsmanship was the same.
No, it might even be better.
"Titus, you should save your strength." "Hmm? I can still fight." Even though he was hurt, he was able to manage.
Keith shook his head, "No, I don't mean it like that. We need to save your strength to take out the floor boss." That was something he understood. Titus's sheer power was more than his. He doubted he would put a dent in the floor boss. That was why he needed him to deal with it.
"...Are you sure you can handle it?"
"Mmhmm. I also have Aria with me. So I will be fine." Keith grinned. He wasn't alone.
"Alright. But if there's trouble, I will step in."
"Gotcha!" Like that, Keith and Titus continued their search for their path. As they did,
"Hoo!" Aria came down.
"You found the way? That's great!" The two quickly followed the owl as they found themselves on the main route!
"Now, the only thing we have to do now is to follow the route, and we should get to the 19th floor," Titus explained. Like that, the three started to follow the path. As they do this, Keith frowned,
"Titus, is there something wrong with this floor?" The moment he said that,
"Kwak!" Aria screeched out!
Left! Keith turned his head. When he did, a lot of monsters were rushing at them! It was abnormal.
"Are you kidding me?" Keith couldn't help but cry. They only found the path a few minutes ago! Now they had to deal with all these monsters! Even with the two, there was no way they could beat them all.
Titus shouted, "We got to leave now!" That was asking for trouble.
"Don't need to tell me twice!" Keith was already making a run for it. The two flee for their lives. But those monsters were picking up speed!
"Aria, create a ledge for the two of us!" Aria flapped her wings and created an ice ledge. The two quickly jumped.
"Something is weird." Keith frowned.
"Hmm," "Don't you think they weren't chasing after us?"
