Chapter 157: Who Said I Have Terrible Luck?!
Grrrrrooooaaaa!!!
AUUURGGHHhhhhh!!
I Swarmed the Centaur settlement with my undead army, flooding them before they even started regrouping into a formation.
Altogether with them, I, the Twin, and Alexa began to slaughter the Centaur here with no mercy.
Drawing their blood and destroying their numbers advantage with the Undead army I had, it didn't take a long time before we annihilated them inside their base.
Hence, the massacre continues until we killed the last of them.
..
...
After some time, we finished the battle and rest on one of the simple tents which was used to belong to the Centaurs tribe here, within the rocky area.
Outside, my undead skeleton army busily collecting the loots that dropped from the Centaur monster, which now was scattered all around the place in the rocky area here.
[I'm glad that there's no young centaur found among them, here...]
I subconsciously leaked this thought from my mouth, when looking at the countless busy undead who was collecting our loots outside.
[Maybe it's because we're inside the dungeon.
Looking at how the dungeon work, I think the monster inhabitant inside this dungeon is somewhat made up artificially with some mean by the dungeon
But still, Alex is soft-hearted as usual, I thought the experience on the Forest of desire will affect your empathy toward the intelligent or humanoid monster, but I glad that you do not change that much]
Anna who just collecting her scattering arrows outside and sat beside me suddenly commented on my remark and giving her own thought.
She gave her own thought about how the dungeon work and me who still have my soft side within me.
Actually, is not that the Experience in the forest of desire didn't affect me at all.
It's just I have some way to separate the dark side of me, instead of letting it mixed up within myself.
If you guys ask how could I do that, .... Maybe time will reveal it to you all later in the near future.
[Anna, you don't have to worry about that stuff.
As long as I have you guys by my side, I promise I will not lose myself~
Leaving that aside, Anni, why you suddenly became silent all this time? Is that something wrong with your body? Do you feel unwell somewhere?]
Turning at Anni who silently cleaning her dagger not far from me, I curiously asked about her well-being worriedly.
Hearing that her name was called by me, she turned her head to me and gave me a gentle smile.
[No, I just preserving my energy as much as I can.
I used to have some experience with traveling in a hot environment like this.
The more you used your brain in a hot environment the more the energy inside your body will be drained faster.
so I restrained myself to not think too much and talked when it was necessary.
Thanks for your attention though, I really appreciate it, Master]
[Is that so?
so it was really the case after all.
I'm glad that you're fine then~]
I smiled at her in relief and replied.
Seeing the lovey-dovey interaction between us, Alexa looking at the three of us enviously.
She observed me for a while, before moving her gaze at the undead who worked outside.
I didn't know what was in her head when she observed me, but somewhat, I feel sadness hidden deep within her eyes while she just looked at me before.
[Still, having an army like that sure is convenient
I wonder where you learned taboo magic like this Ah! It's not that I against taboo magic or something, I just slightly curious, that's all]
Alexa suddenly muttered those things to me.
At the latter part of her words, I could see that she was started panicking and trying to explain things to me.
Albeit her cold face wasn't changing so much while she began panicking.
[If you really curious about my ability, why don't you join my harem then? hehehe]
And so, I replied to her jokingly like that.
But it seems it was not the case for Alexa who perceived my statement seriously.
After hearing me mentioned "joining my harem", she glared at me with a sharp gaze, gazing at me with a dead serious face.
[I-I'm joking..
Please don't look at me with that gaze]
I subconsciously replied in a panic.
Alexa gazed at me for about 2 seconds, before changing her serious face into a smile one, albeit a stiff one.
[I know~]
I don't know why, but when she replied to me briefly with her short words, her smile was rather lonely for some reason.
[Alex your joke is not funny]
[Master, I think you're going too far]
And so, I got reprimanded by the Twin.
Seeing they looked at me like looking of some sort of lowly playboy, I couldn't help myself to feel guilty.
[Sorry]
Thus, I decided to apologize.
..
When I was trapped in this awkward silence, suddenly I feel something coming from one of my undead who trying to inform me something through my skill.
I leaving the thought about the joke thing behind and concentrated to communicate with this particular Undead who trying to tell me about something that is found.
[Alex? what happens?]
Seeing me suddenly became serious like this, Anna suddenly asked me curiously.
When she asked this, I sensed a hint of probing, trying to see if I really find a serious matter or just trying to escape the awkward air with this amateur ploy of mine, in her tone.
[One of my soldiers seems to find a mysterious door in some small rocky hill around here
Let's check it out, maybe we found something incredible lying in there this time!]
I opened my eyes and informed them about one of my skeleton finding excitedly.
But contrary to my expectation, I can't sense any excitement coming from them.
[With your luck, I doubt that we find something good for sure]
Alexa stood up from her place and began to dusted her sexy ass as she nonchalantly said this to me.
Even though there's no excitement from her words, but she still readied herself to check my founding.
[Yes, maybe we will just found some useless potion and some doubtful monster materials that we don't know if it's useful or not]
Anna added with no hint of eagerness in it.
On the other hand, Anni just obediently stood up from her place to following my order without commented anything.
But somehow, her silence was hurt my feelings.
'Isn't it mean that she agreed with them?.... did my luck was that bad to even make the usual Anni who always on my side, agree with them?'
As I started having this thought, the ladies already prepared themselves to exit the tent.
Sigh
In the end, I could only ignore their somewhat hurtful remark with thick skin, bringing them to the place where was my skeleton informed me.
Just as we get out outside the tent, a strong dry wind suddenly hit us.
This wind bringing dry hot air with them, making the ladies who had normal body unlike me, annoyed and frowned their foreheads from the sudden heat hitting their bodies.
but it was different with Alexa.
For some reason, she frowned her forehead, not because of the heat, but something else.
[It seems the Sandstorm already coming closer
Alex, I think it's better if we stay in this place for today.
After we hide from the sandstorm, I will surely be able to locate our whereabouts and finding the way to the Dungeon crystal to conquer this floor earlier]
[I'll leave it to you for later~
Right now, let's see what is the thing that has been found by my soldier.
for the information it passed to me, it said to be some iron door or something... oh it seems already opened the door and found some cave right now!]
[Then it's good if we found some hidden place.
Maybe we can hide there during the sandstorm and wait for it to pass safely before we continue the journey later]
Anna interjected.
Nodding at her in agreement, I take them with me to the place where the skeleton soldier informed me.
Along the way walking there, I saw the Undead soldier doing their job gathering the loots and ransacking all over the settlement of the Centaur tribe in this rocky area.
'Sigh Why I didn't use them to do these things before?
Surely having an army for gathering thing will make us exploring this dungeon faster for sure~'
I was lamenting my foolishness of not using them as an assistant until this time, inside my head.
I realized that my mind it's not flexible enough during the dungeon exploration.
Somehow, all this time I always thought of exploring this dungeon, like what the fantasy novel protagonist does, or some generic RPG game in my world.
Sort of like something the typical dungeon exploration in some Fantasy story.
I realized that I need to be more creative since I have a lot type of skills under my sleeve.
While I've lost on my thought like this, all of a sudden the ladies at my side suddenly stopped their step.
With wide-open eyes and hanging opened mouths, they looked at the scenery in front of them in shock.
Looking at them like this, I just realized that we already arrived at the place where my skeleton soldier informed me about.
[A-Alex I'm sorry for ridiculing your terrible luck all this time
M-Maybe, t-the fact of you having bad luck is not necessarily true after all]
With a trembling voice, Anna suddenly said while gazing at the scenery in front of her eyes without blinking
On the other hand, Alexa who still glued to the scenery in front of her started gulping her own saliva before saying,
[This is the first time I see the rumored gold mine that always dreamed of by the adventurer at Alabatrost city in front of my eyes directly
Alex, I think your luck with money is really ridiculous!]
And so, Alexa said.
Even the usual uninterested Anni looking at the scenery in front of her eyes with shock.
It couldn't be helped for them to react like this
After all, behind the opened enormous rusty iron door placed on the rocky hill, lying an enormous gold mine that full of dungeon gold ores, glistening with its shining and tempting golden luster, inciting greed to anyone who saw it.
Even I who already have enormous riches under me, couldn't help but gulp at the ridiculous sight in front of me
'Who was it again that said I have terrible luck?!'
