Chapter 585 ( Close Passage )

"It's much bigger in person" - Kam said as he excitedly viewed the large tree in front of his group. He could feel his heart pounding as he watched that relic of the past, towering imposingly into the clouds.

Cloud said nothing in response, he just looked around, trying to find the entrance to the place, but no matter how hard he looked, there was no opening to be able to say for sure that it was the entrance to the place.

"Strange, this shouldn't be that complicated, unless we're ignoring something" - Yue muttered with a frown as she squinted her eyes and used mana to enhance her vision.

The vampire princess looked around earnestly, searching for clues so she could solve this strange crossroads, until she noticed something - "What is that?"

Cloud raised an eyebrow as he looked in the direction where his companion was looking, when he noticed how there was a strange sign and a wall with openings - "Strange, why didn't we see this before you made us see it?"

"Maybe it's being covered by a spell?" - Yue replied as she started to think, though she quickly shook her head because that wasn't the case.

Cloud, Yue, and a confused Shea, slowly approached this strange wall.

"I think it's a better idea to read the sign before approaching that thing" - Shea said as she cocked her head to the side.

Yue nodded at these words and started to read the sign while Cloud stood in front of the wall and carefully looked at the symbols on it, which seemed perfect for putting some contraptions on.

"I think I've seen this symbol somewhere" - Cloud muttered while frowning, although after thinking for a few seconds, he remembered where he had seen them - "Right, they are the symbols that were in the book of Oscar Orcus, they are the symbols of the [Liberators]"

Cloud was silent for a few seconds before frowning - "Does that mean completing all the other big mazes before completing this one?"

"No, we only have to collect four tests" - Yue replied as she walked next to Shea - "The sign says, it takes 4 tests of courage to get the power of regeneration."

"Regeneration?" - Cloud repeated as he frowned before looking at Yue.

"I don't think it's like my ability, I'd say it's more like healing" - Yue replied as she shook her head.

"Hmm" - Cloud was silent before nodding - "I guess our work here is done, at least for now."

"Where will we go now?" - Yue asked as she raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm, I remember there was a big maze in the [Raisen Grand Canyon]" - Cloud replied while frowning - "I don't know where exactly though."

"We'd have to ask in a human city" - muttered Yue as she asked Kam for a map and began to look at it carefully - "Luckily, there's one not too far away, maybe a few hours' ride in your vehicle"

"Then that will be our next target, besides, it's not like we can go around the world with Shea in that outfit" - Cloud said as he looked at how Shea was giving him a confused look.

"What's wrong with my clothes?" - Shea asked as she cocked her head to the side.

"It's too promiscuous, you Ero Usagi (Kinky Rabbit)" - said Yue with a frown.

"Don't call me Ero Usagi, just because you don't have breasts!" - Shea exclaimed angrily, not noticing how Yue's eyebrow contracted slightly.

"Okay, that's enough" - Cloud said with a frown - "Behave yourselves or I'm going to have to punish you."

"What kind of punishment?" - Asked the two girls as Cloud sighed with regret that these two despite being so different, were so similar at the same time.

"I'm not jealous of you, General" - Kam said as the other men of the Haulia clan nodded.

Even they, with all their problems, could only pity the poor blond who had to put up with these two strange traveling companions.

"You know. It's so much more depressing when you guys pity me" - Cloud muttered while holding the bridge of his nose, unaware that his troubles were not only not over, they were just beginning.

Two hours later, Cloud was speeding down the road bound for the nearest town.

"Why do I have to wear this necklace?" - Shea asked while blushing - "Do you want to subdue me, Cloud-san ~?"

"Leave your perverted thoughts for another time and don't give the matter so much thought, you only wear that necklace because that way no one will attack you in the village" - replied Yue with hostility.

As close friends as they are, Yue couldn't hide her jealousy for Shea, after all, the bunny girl was everything she wanted in a female body.

"What Yue says, it's true" - Cloud nodded while keeping his eyes on the road to prevent accidents - "Let's face it, you're a beautiful girl, Shea, that's why I'm sure there will be hundreds of dangerous humans after you if you don't wear that necklace".

"Beautiful ~?" - Shea repeated with a huge blush - "I'm beautiful ~?"

"Stop thinking nonsense, you worthless rabbit" - Yue growled with hostility - "With that necklace on, all the idiots will be after Cloud."

"Huh? What do you mean?" - Shea asked in surprise and terror.

"Meaning that if they kill me, you'll be "free" again, leaving the opportunity to capture and subdue you" - Cloud replied as he watched a village appear in the distance - "I guess we'll go on foot from now on?"

"I don't want you to be attacked, Cloud-san ~!" - Shea exclaimed with tears in her eyes.

"You idiot, Cloud is a monster, any idiot who tries anything against us, will be eliminated" - replied Yue as she rolled her eyes at her - "Besides, you're a monster too, you can practically fold in half any idiot who tries anything against you!"

"Oh, you're right" - nodded Shea while blushing because she had forgotten that "little" detail.

"Putting that aside, it's time for us to go to town" - said Cloud as he pulled out a bag from his storage ring - "In passing we'll buy some supplies because I'm a bit sick of always eating the same thing"

"I'm happy with Cloud's blood" - Yue muttered while licking her lips - "Although I have to admit that it's boring to eat the same food all the time."

* * * * *

"Welcome, strangers, what are your intentions in this town?" - The guard asked as he looked at the diverse group, a handsome boy, a pretty red-eyed blonde girl, and a bunny girl with a seductive body.

"We've come to sell some monster parts and get supplies" - Cloud replied as he handed two cards to the guard.

The guard took them calmly and read them - "Hmm, these names don't seem from this area."

"We are foreigners from a distant land" - Cloud replied calmly.

"Ok, everything is in order, though I'm surprised to see how skilled you are" - said the guard calmly. He didn't even bother to ask Shea for a card when he saw the necklace the girl had.

Shea was saddened when she saw this, but didn't show it because she knew it would only cause trouble.

"To sell the monster parts, you have to go to the adventurer's guild, and to get there, just follow this street, it's the big building in the middle of town" - said the guard as he went back to his work.

Cloud nodded and thanked them before telling the girls to follow him.

Yue and Shea quickly walked behind the blond while taking some of his clothes.

The men present looked longingly at the two girls, but just one look from Cloud made their bodies freeze.

It didn't take the group long to reach their destination, a quaint building that had a rather large sign.

THE group entered the place, only to be greeted by the stares of the adventurers, who practically started drooling at the beauty of the blond's two companions, though they ignored them and followed their traveling companion.

"Hmm, new faces" - said the receptionist with a small smile - "And they are beautiful, not bad".

"Good morning" - Cloud replied with a small smile as he took the bag and put it in front of the receptionist - "We've come to sell some items."

"Ok, although I recommend you not to waste my time with [Drops] of basic monsters" - replied the receptionist, only to widen her eyes in surprise - "Is this from a [Sea of Trees] monster?"

"That's right" - nodded Cloud calmly.

The receptionist quickly started going through the items in greater detail, only to gasp because that amount would be impressive even for veteran adventurers - "Ok, first of all, I want to apologize for my bad attitude, it's just that we've had an overselling of basic monster items."

"Don't apologize" - Cloud replied calmly.

"Ok, let's get back to business, I can give you a good price, although I would recommend you to sell them better in a bigger city, you could make more money there" - said the receptionist seriously.

"No, I want to sell them here, the price doesn't matter so much" - Cloud answered while telling her that they needed the money for the equipment expenses.

"I understand, I guess I could give you some more, but that will just be between us" - smiled the receptionist as she started putting money on the counter.
