BXBX NOVEL Chapter 48: labyrinth
So the Guild Master decided that he would go and have a talk with the Viscount to try to find out what the issue was.
Silva, on his own oath, decided to take a rest. He was a bit tired after using the Dragon Newt form for the first time.
________ _________
"Brother, are you ready to go?" Lia asked as she knocked on the door repeatedly in an impatient manner.
"Yeah, yeah, I am almost done," Silva said, putting on his armor and opening the door.
Since they didn\'t have the opportunity to go to the labyrinth the other day, they had decided to go today.
They left the house and headed straight for the labyrinth. Lia seemed extremely happy that she was getting to go into the labyrinth, her face was all smiles.
"Alright, Lia, I need you to listen closely. You are never to stray beyond where we can see each other. If something were to happen, I need to be able to see you.
Also, there may be monsters that have hidden abilities and can use them at any time. You have to keep a level head and ensure that you watch out," Silva gave his warnings.
"All those are true, Brother, but I don\'t have to fear all that much. After all, I still have you with me," Lia said.
Silva was happy that his relationship with his sister was not destroyed. He didn\'t know how he would react if she chose not to relate with him because they weren\'t siblings.
________ _________
First floor, Ribest town dungeon.
Silva stood behind Lia as some goblins charged at her. She pointed her hands at them.
"Ice Bullet." She cast her spell. Silva expected that it would fire only one ice bullet, but it fired more than ten, completely decimating all the goblins.
"What the hell?" he asked in shock. Lia looked at him and gave him a silly smile with her tongue out.
\'Seems she has grown way more than I was expecting. Her legacy must be a high-class one.\'
"Alright, it seems you will be able to handle everything on the first floor, so I\'ll just follow for safety. You\'ll take care of all the monsters," Silva said.
Lia nodded and started heading deeper into the dungeon. They spent a lot of time taking out monsters on the first floor and finally moved to the second floor.
Like the first time, they came in contact with a chimera. Silva wanted to step in and kill it, but Lia took care of it.
"Ice Coffin." She called out. Ice spread from under the chimera, covering it completely. When the chimera was completely covered, the ice shattered into pieces, and so did the chimera.
Silva watched this in shock. So this was the power of a legacy? He couldn\'t use himself as a standard for measurement because his abilities were absurd.
But his sister was a perfectly normal person. Even for Quin, he would need to fight a bit to kill the chimera, yet she took it out with one spell.
He decided to take a peek at her stats with Dragon Eyes. He hadn\'t done it in a while. She was already level 23, and her base stats were all more than forty, but her intelligence was close to a hundred.
Since intelligence was needed for casting spells, it made sense that it would be higher. Her stats were impressive, and so was her level.
Their father was stuck in the 20s, yet she was able to surpass that with ease. Her legacy was surely powerful.
Silva finally understood where Mike\'s hate and anger stemmed from. In a family of normal adventurers, there was a son with extraordinary combat abilities and mastery of the sword, who had also become a peak C-rank adventurer.
Then there was a daughter with a powerful legacy who was growing at an outstanding rate. Her future was set to be great.
Lastly, there was the adopted son. He wasn\'t even part of the family, yet he was the most terrifying out of all of them, and common sense didn\'t apply to him.
Mike was the only normal person, and that was what ate him up. He could never compare to his siblings, and who better to pour his rage on aside from the outsider who took his sister\'s love from him?
The stronger the three got, the more the hate grew in his heart.
_________ ________
Silva spent until noon killing monsters with his sister, but they didn\'t go past the second floor.
He decided that it was enough for now, so they left the labyrinth. He wanted to take it easy on her first raid, and they could go deeper in the future.
After they left, he walked her back to the town.
"I\'ll be heading to the labyrinth. I have to raid for myself," Silva said.
"Huh? I wanted to spend the rest of the day with you as well," Lia complained.
"Sorry, I\'ll make it up to you another time," Silva said.
She pouted, and then she hugged him out of nowhere.
"I\'ll hold you to that," she whispered into his ear before she left. Silva stood there in a bit of a daze. He didn\'t know why, but she did send a shock through his entire body.
After clearing his head, he headed into the forest, where he met Fang.
"Are we doing it today?" Fang asked.
"Yes, we will be going as deep as possible into the labyrinth. Let\'s find out what\'s in there," Silva said.
Since the first day they entered the labyrinth, he had this feeling of a power the deeper he went, so he wanted to find what it was.
When Fang and Silva arrived at the dungeon, there were many people looking at them. It was shocking to see a kid with such a massive beast, and some people were not from the town, so they didn\'t know about him.
As you would imagine, a party stood in his way, about to make trouble for Silva. Silva began wondering, didn\'t these people already see him when he came with his sister? So the only reason they are here now to trouble him is Fang.
