Chapter 63: Exploring the dungeon part 8

-Grace Velomht insulted Agnes while feeling a little dazed, it was the first damage he had received in the whole fight.

-Good job Agnes, if it wasn’t for you, I would still be clean. -Alexander praised his partner as he lashed out at the boss, hitting him several times, even if his blows didn’t hurt him, they were quite annoying.

-Do you think I’m shit, eh bastard? -The duke holds Alexander’s arm to hit him, but Agnes throws a cup at him to avoid him. -Don’t hurt Alexander!

The cup had hit the duke’s face, who was still a bit dazed from the previous blow, even though Agnes didn’t know how to fight, throwing objects was annoying.

-Agnes let’s go!

(Even if I want to distract him I would only be a hindrance, I have to flatter myself and wait for Arthur) -Alexander moves away from Grace, approaching Agnes to hide next to her.

-Nothing will happen to us here, we can rest long enough until he finds us. -Alexander spoke to her after hiding behind a closet.

-I have several questions, but I don’t think this is a good time, so I’ll just ask one. Where is Arthur? -With a little more peace, Agnes asks Alexander.

-Don’t worry about him, he’s just resting after so many fights, he’ll come to help in a few minutes. -Alexander answers the girl, hiding the true state of his companion.

-That fool, when we need him, he doesn’t show up, I’ll give him his punishment later. -Although his words were severe and cold, one could feel the girl’s relief to know that her beloved was well.

-For now we must defeat this guy. -Alexander looked back as he watched the duke, the room was immersed so he could find them quickly.

-Do you know how to fight Agnes? -Alexander asked.

-No, in the great families no woman is allowed to fight. -Agnes answered, feeling ashamed.

(Not allowed? Sophia had told me that every member of the big family had to learn how to fight. Apparently the implementation of female defense in the great families was later in history).

-Okay, don’t worry, I’ll take care of him until Arthur shows up, you can help me like you did before. -Alexander, after answering the girl, decides to come out of hiding.

[Warning.]

-Hey, why the hell are you doing this? -Alexander speaks to the duke who turns to see him. -I don’t think you’re doing this just for power or gold, tell me what you want.

(I must avoid a fight now, even if Agnes can help me to attack it would be a risk, after all one of the requirements is to rescue her) -Alexander spoke to the boss while he remains silent.

-Why am I doing this, there must be a reason! -Grace Velomht answered with a cold voice while looking at the ground. -I’d like to say there isn’t, but in fact there is… I have a reason for doing this.

[Warning.]

-That bastard Arthur must pay for what he did to me. -The duke’s expression changed greatly for the first time and he lashed out at Alexander.

-You left me with more doubts than answers, but there’s no time for counter stories.

[You are using Takeda’s karate]

[The combat skill “lend it to me for a while” has only 30 seconds of use left].

Alexander was receiving the boy’s attack, thanks to Agnes’ blows Grace’s speed had slowed down, so Alexander could keep up with her.

[You are using the combat skill: Runner].

Without giving his opponent a break, Alexander throws a kick that sends him flying, if he was able to exert damage this fight would already have a winner.

-I had no idea you could fight so well. -Agnes came out of hiding to watch the match and was surprised to see Alexander’s strength.

-Shit, now she’s a stupid princess and a lackey, what the fuck, is this it? -The Velotmht was taking off his suit for more freedom, the fight had just begun.

-You’re someone who complains too much, just leave. -Alexander replies to the man, but to no avail, as he lashes out at Alexander instantly.

-Hey mister fancy man!” A voice is heard from the top of the room. -Why don’t you go to sleep?

The cause of the scandal was Arthur, who ran into the room and hit the duke with all his strength.

-Arthur! -Agnes’ face only conveyed happiness to see her beloved, apparently the scales were in her favor.

-Sorry for the delay, I had to rest more than necessary. -The prince spoke with a smile while he took out his dagger, it was time to end their bad relationship once and for all.

-Genie, now that you are here, I must not hold back. -The duke stands up while looking at Arthur in a bad way. -Today I’m going to make you pay for everything you’ve done. -The Velomht approached a her in the room and then pulled out a sword from her.

[Warning.]

(Are you all insane, where did he get that damn sword?) -Alexander saw the situation and decided to get ready, if he made a single wrong move he would be finished.

-Hey, I know I don’t care, but what the hell did you do to that guy? Everything he does, he does it for you. -Alexander asked his partner.

-Grace and I went to the same gentleman’s academy, and back then I did things I still regret, among them… I aggressively harassed and beat that fucker, back then he was just a simple weakling…..

Arthur spoke with a face of sadness and guilt, although now he looks like a good person in his past he was a bully, people can change as Marcus and Felix do, but their actions will always haunt them.

-Although I understand the boy, this is not the way, but enough talk, it’s time to end this. -Alexander, feeling some empathy for his rival, lunges at him, thanks to his ability the speed of his enemy would not be a problem.

-Great, the lackey is now fast, what next, will you use magic? -But Alexander’s high speed was not a problem for the duke, who in response gave a slash with his sword.

-Hey, you’re going to kill him. -But to cover the blow was Arthur who used his daggers to defend himself. -Are you really going to go through with this? -Arthur asked his rival angrily and then punched him.

(Good, now we can win) -Alexander doesn’t miss the opportunity and kicks the duke in the face, although his punches don’t do anything, they were annoying enough to give Arthur time to attack.

-That was several years ago, you didn’t have to do this. -The prince slashes his rival several times with his dagger, for his part the Grace Velomht was not able to keep up with both of them at the same time, but angrily raised his sword to slash Alexander.

[You are using the combat skill: Knockout Points].

Alexander in defense hits the boy several times, leaving the space free for Arthur to finish him off. -I’m sorry but…

Alexander spoke while watching Velomht fall to his knees on the ground, it seems that the fight already has winners. -I have a reason to fight too. -Alexander finished his sentence as he saw the body of the boss.

-Great, we did it! -Arthur shouted with happiness as he ran to hug Agnes, it was time for him and her to live in peace.

-Not so fast Arthur. -Alexander decides to douse the boy’s flame of excitement, as he stared at the Velomht.

-This is just getting started. -Alexander continued talking while looking at the system notifications.

[Warning]

[Warning]

(I didn’t get the victory notification, it was obvious this wasn’t over).

-Hey bastard, You said before to forget the past, didn’t you? -The duke of the Velomht spoke while taking out a vial from his pocket, in it was noticeable a pink liquid.

-It’s easy for you to say, you didn’t suffer 7 years in a row in the knight school, you don’t know what it is to suffer. -Grace continued speaking while he stood up.

[Warning]

-Arthur, come on, we must defeat him, now. -Alexander lunges at the boy while his partner follows him for the same.

-Stop, I’ll show you what it’s like to suffer. -Grace begins to drink the pink liquid while he moved away from the two boys.

[Warning]

[Warning]

[Warning]

[The battle against the real boss is about to begin.]

Alexander looked at the system notification as he walks away from his opponent, apparently everything before was just a warm up.

-Are you surprised? After all you made me teach you how to do it, what you don’t know is that I taught you the wrong way. -Grace continued talking while looking at Arthur with a macabre look, apparently he was using a drug similar to Arthur’s, or rather, a much better one.

-Arthur, get away! -Alexander warned his friend as he stopped.

-Walk away? -But to the surprise of both, the duke was behind them, apparently his speed was absurd. -It is impossible to escape or flatter me.

-The duke holds Alexander by the neck and throws him towards the other.

[You have lost 30% health.]

(What the fuck is this? Will he have a SSS rank stat too?) -Aturdido was trying to get up to fight.

-One second Alexander, you can rest. -But to his surprise, Arthur stood between the two of them with his bottle of green liquid in it.

-After all, this is my fault. -The prince drank the entire contents of the liquid as he prepared to solve his old problems.

[The fight against the biggest boss, the Phantom King has begun].
