Chapter 20

Bold Accusations

We departed right after grouping up in front of our apartment. Lulu led the way, obviously, while we followed closely after her. Aisha jogged first, then Levia, and finally me. That way, our strongest member could watch the front while I kept an eye on the back of the party. Either of us could react in time to protect our Witch friend, who was physically the weakest.

Additionally, I asked Rose not to show herself and tail us from some distance. In case someone or something followed us, she would be able to spot them and inform us ahead of time. Plus, Lulu being unaware of the cheerful Pixie could give us an edge if a fight broke out or something unexpected happened.

We moved through the ruined stone hallways at a decent pace. Lulu was clearly in a hurry and her expression remained highly distressed. If she was acting, then she was more than good at it. She did glance over her shoulder at us from time to time, looking nervous and somewhat hesitant. Most likely due to my earlier statement about us being the killers.

The corridors seemed mostly safe since we were in the vicinity of the destroyed pylon, meaning no undead should technically be roaming around these parts of the Dungeon. Still, we didn’t lower our guards, put up against both Lulu and other possible ambushes. If she was in cahoots with the Priest, there always was a chance that we were being led into a surefire trap. With Ashmel gone, it was only us who could be normal people.

I hadn’t had time to properly set up the map app on either my phone or smartwatch so I only turned on the function to draw a line on the empty canvas as we moved. It wasn’t much, but it showed how far away we’d gone from our home and in which direction we were heading, more or less. One thing was for sure. We weren’t heading towards the section with the broken crystal.

After about ten minutes of jogging, we ran into some Skeletons holding various bladed and projectile-based weapons. They weren’t even a challenge for the four of us and we basically rushed through every single monster without slowing down. Lulu would draw the aggro since she was in the front, then Aisha would smack the enemies around with her hammer, and finally, I would hit any targets that their attacks didn’t pulverize into bits. Levia mostly abstained from the fights, saving her mana and arcanas for a much more critical moment. She currently was the ace in our sleeve.

“It’s close now, just next to the chamber with another crystal pylon,” Lulu announced another ten minutes later. “There weren’t any strong monsters in the area when I was leaving but I don’t know if that changed since then.”

“Let’s hope that the body is still there,” Aisha commented, definitely trying to fish out some kind of a reaction from the distressed imp.

It didn’t result in anything noteworthy and Lulu just nodded faintly at her words.
