Hero Saves the Beauty (Girl)!
Chapter 61: Hero Saves the Beauty (Girl)!
'Boom—'
A very ordinary strike, but it caused an unreasonably powerful destruction.
Just a few days ago, for Ethan, defeating a Minotaur required some effort, but now he can kill it with a single strike.
Inverted Spear of Heaven combined with Ratio Technique, the effect is simply 1+1>2; the improvement is too significant.
'Roar—Roar—'
There are two more Minotaurs nearby.
However, seeing their own kind fall one by one at Ethan's hands, even though they are just mindless monsters, the desire for 'survival' made them have thoughts of retreat.
The next second, the two Minotaurs turned and ran away, which left Ethan stunned.
"You are monsters! What are you running for!"
This situation was unexpected for Ethan, although in the original story, there was indeed a scene where Minotaurs fled, he did not expect it to actually happen now.
However, while Ethan was stunned and complaining, the two Minotaurs had already headed towards the upper floors.
As monsters with level 2 strength, if these two guys ran to the upper floors, they would definitely cause a huge impact.
Not to mention, some unlucky ones might meet them and possibly get killed.
'Tap Tap Tap—'
Ethan rushed through the corridors of the dungeon, and in this 'underground labyrinth' with many paths, he was momentarily confused and did not know where the two Minotaurs had fled.
…
'Click—'
A team of adventurers wearing leather armor and carrying various weapons was proceeding methodically towards the middle floors.
Among them, three strong and sturdy guys, each carrying a huge wooden box on their backs, from which noisy sounds kept coming, obviously containing many suspicious items.
'Whoosh—'
An adventurer wielding a bow and arrow took down a distant monster with an arrow.
The arrow directly hit the monster's head, killing it.
'Boom', the monster turned into a puff of black smoke, and a magic stone fell to the ground, making a clear sound.
"Hey, what are you doing standing there stupidly? Hurry up and collect the magic stone. If you miss one, see how I deal with you."
"Yes, adventurer-sama, I'll go right away."
A small figure walked out from behind the team and trotted over to pick up the magic stone.
The small body, yet carrying a backpack almost four to five times larger than herself, it's really hard to believe how she could carry such a huge load.
And moreover, if the backpack was filled with items, how could she possibly carry it?
'Whoosh—'
'Roar—'
Suddenly, a hellhound appeared out of nowhere and pounced at the girl.
"Hellhound!"
In a panic, the girl fell to the ground.
As the monster was about to end her life with its gaping jaws, she was filled with anger and resentment.
She was just a supporter, supposed to pick up dropped items after the battle ended.
Now, just after killing a monster, they sent her to collect its magic stone, only to encounter such a hellhound; it's like they wanted her dead.
Meanwhile, the adventurers nearby all watched with an attitude of watching a show.
"Hellhound, this little one is really unlucky."
"Hey, aren't you going to save her? We still need her to carry stuff back."
"No need, what 'Rivira Town' doesn't lack is supporters, you can find a bunch of them anywhere. Moreover, if there's one hellhound, it means there are more nearby. It's not worth the risk for just a supporter."
"That makes sense~"
A very cold and realistic conversation.
A supporter being hired for money is never in short supply in the dungeon.
To fight against a pack of hellhounds for such a person, no one would do that.
It's just a contractual relationship, plus if the person dies, they wouldn't have to pay her.
As for the things she was carrying, they weren't far from the 18th floor, they could just retrieve them after she died and the hellhounds dispersed.
This is the dungeon, there are not so many beautiful encounters, what exists is brutality and the cold reality.
"Am I going to die?"
Collapsed on the ground, her legs weak with fear, unable to muster any strength, the girl was filled with infinite regret.
If only she hadn't accepted this commission.
'Puff—'
At this critical moment, the ferocious hellhound suddenly burst into a spray of blood, then howled pitifully and was killed.
The blood of the hellhound spilled, drenching the small girl's body red.
"Oh look what I found, a scared little girl."
A frivolous voice sounded, and the girl looked up to see a figure she would never forget for the rest of her life.
In this dungeon, she had never seen such a 'handsome' human; his facial features were similar to those of a male elf.
If it weren't for his ears being different from elves, she might have mistaken him for one.
"Hey, are you okay?"
Seeing the girl staring at him dumbfounded, Ethan also felt a bit helpless.
This was one of the rare times he was being kind-hearted; otherwise, he would not have spared a second glance, since in the dungeon, people die every day, whether someone dies or not has nothing to do with him.
Today, because he had obtained the Inverted Spear of Heaven, his mood was very good, so he didn't mind saving someone.
"I'm fine~"
The little one nodded and then got up.
She instinctively looked behind, where the adventurers who had hired her were, but now they had already disappeared without a trace.
Hellhounds are not to be trifled with, and not to mention there might be a pack of them.
A slight carelessness could cause them a huge loss, so to avoid injury, they chose to take a detour.
After all, this is the 'Dungeon'; the path to the next floor is never just one.
"Since you're okay, I'll take my leave."
Ethan didn't plan to waste time; he still had to find those two escaped Minotaurs, although he might not be able to find them now.
"What's your name, please tell me the name of my savior?"
"Ethan Starfall~"
After speaking, he paid no more attention to the girl with the vacant gaze and left straight away.
"Ethan~"
At this moment, the girl watched Ethan's back, her emotions very conflicted.
From a young age, she had been at the bottom class of Orario, the pain and darkness she had experienced were absolutely unbearable to most people, hence she had long stopped believing that there were 'good people' in this world.
But today, at her desperate moment, ironically, she encountered a 'good person'.
