I started cutting down some of the golems with my blade, using wind magic to assist the thrusts.
"What the fuck do you think you're doing asshole? This is my treasure and I already lost my entire party."
The hell? Is that something she meant to say out loud? Fucking rude.
"I don't want the treasure, just shut the hell up and let me help."
"Sure, that's why they call you 'The Ruthless One.' You just swoop in, kill everyone in the room, take the treasure and get out."
Guess my reputation precedes me. Guess she's afraid I'm going to kill her. Maybe I should make a move, instead?
After killing most of the golems, I swung over to the blue haired beauty, lifted my mask and went to give her a kiss.
"I'm not some damsel in distress you fuckhead."
"Was trying to show you I'm not trying to harm you, my bad, fuck."
It was worth the shot. I defeated the rest of the golems with ease.
"Treasure's all yours."
Like a kid opening a Christmas gift, she ran over to the treasure and lifted up a mithril scepter. It looked super rare, so I decided to inspect it.
Lost Mithril specter of the Elven Race. Rarity: S. Class. Melee. Attribute: None. Value: 500,000 Extravites.
"So, for being so 'ruthless, how come you're the one happier than a kid on Christmas to obtain such a rare scepter when your party is dead?"
"Oh, those useless fucks? I only met them recently. They told me about this A rank dungeon and that they were B class adventures and they needed an A class adventurer, so they hired me for 10,000 extravites.
I don't know what the hell that is, some kind of currency here on Exteria?
"And I'm the ruthless one?"
"Your reputation proceeds itself. Although, this attempted kiss was funny. What was with that? I don't believe you were trying to just show me you weren't trying to harm me."
"Seemed fun? Not like those golems were of much trouble anyway. Do you want to party up?"
"Like stay in a party or party up in the dungeon?"
"I'll let you decide."
><><><><
System, Inspect our blue haired friend.
Name: Brianna Reinhardt. Goes by Brie. Age 19. S ranked adventurer. Hides her true rank and takes jobs and usually is the last one alive with the treasure. Doesn't directly kill her party mates, and will share if they live, but doesn't go out of her way to save them.
Well, seeing as how I'm a SSS adventurer and she's hot, I'm down. I was a bloody virgin in my past life so why waste time with a body like this?
"Depends. No one's cleared this dungeon. Let's see how you do. You do all the work I'll just watch."
This bitch. The fuck? "She'll just watch." How fucking cute. Man, I really did have an attitude change through this whole transmigration process. I'm already irritated I'm not leveling up for shit anymore. Anyway, let's get this shit over with.
"What's your name anyway?"
"Abbie, you?"
"Ok, if we're going to 'party,' for the rest of the time, let's not tell any lies. I know your name isn't Abbie.
She just stared at me. It was kind of weird.
Brie, "Inspect… What the fuck? Everything's blanked out. I didn't think someone would be ranked higher than me here."
"Ok, you passed my little test: name's Brie. I'm an adventurer for hire. I already know who you are… 'the Ruthless One."
I guess I was too oblivious to realize someone might be able to inspect as well. That's the only reason why she was staring at me, right system?
Correct Sora. Her attempt failed.
"Ok, how the hell did I come to get that nickname anyway? I really don't get it."
"Rumors, legends, no one's ever been able to get any information on you. You always clear the dungeon then flee the scene. It's almost like you're on a time limit."
Funny. She's kind of right. I only have about 2 hours left. Shouldn't be much of a problem. Two more bosses then the final boss. A rank at that. Easy peasy.
"Let's make a deal. If you join my party after this is all said and done, I'll let you know who I really am. But it comes with conditions. You can't continue your adventurer for hire, but you'll be compensated way more than you'd normally make. You'd have to live in my mansion but could go out freely and do as you wish. You would just have to make a seal that you wouldn't reveal who I am, or you die."
"Are you fucking kidding me? Seal magic? My ass you can use seal magic but if you clear this dungeon, maybe I'll take you up on the offer.
System, I can use seal magic, correct?
Yes. The yin and yang symbol is your seal. To make a seal, simply hold hands with the other person, have them swear to the premise of your seal and the symbol will appear and fade away on their hand. Whenever they are in danger of breaking the seal, the seal will appear to warn them.
"Deal."
The bosses on forty and fifty were a joke. More goblins, slow, easy. Pitiful.
As we approached door 55, Brie also looked displeased about the loot from this dungeon.
"This dungeon has been absolute trash. I haven't leveled up much, the rewards in the treasures, aside from your rare one, which isn't even that good, hasn't been great. Let's hope for something good behind door #55!"
"Yeah, they always said the abyss was one of the top ranked A dungeons. Maybe it's the boss or something." Brie said.
Time to find out.
