"The heck!? What's that for!?" Shik growled resentful, just as he was about to bring up the video, Kobi barked again.
"You bitch! can you swear that all your powers be turned to ash if you weren't awake the whole time and purposefully making me come to this dungeon!? Huh!?" Kobi's lips twitched, this brat's acting was too bad for him.
Shik looked away like an innocent kitty, sweat pouring down hard from his forehead.
"I-It's, it's..."
"Yea, yea. Ignorant trash, thought you could fool me!? Huh!?"
Shik looked down sheepishly, "Ho-Hoho! y-yea!"
"...Bitch!" Kobi cussed and raised his palm forward, confusing Shik.
"Com-Pen-Sa-Tion!" Kobi's lips slowly spread apart into the grin of a sly devil before quickly turning into the pitiful face of an abused dog.
"Wh-wha-what!?" Shik flew back in fright. Thi-this devil!
"You see. I happened to break all the bones in my legs and can't walk anymore, also I accidentally bit my tongue due to your vile schemes and my wife and kids at home are crying seeing my suffering, heck my mother is already about to blow up a country to vent. To compensate all this... Umm! A 1000 All Stat Potion will do!" Kobi beamed a gentle smile. Like he was very generous.
"THE HELL!? H-HOW COULD YOU BE SO VILE!? AND IF YOU DID BREAK YOUR LEGS THEN WHY ARE YOU ACTING AS IF YOUR HANDS ARE BROKEN INSTEAD? AND WHAT BIT TONGUE!? WHAT WIFE AND KIDS? WHAT MOTHER BLOWING A COUNTRY? YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THEY ARE ALIVE BY NOW OR NOT, FOR GOD'S SAKE!» Shik gasped like a tired dog, he couldn't take this bullshit any longer. 'Mommy, daddy! can't you have given me a better host?'
"Oh! I see!" Kobi hurriedly sat down on the ground and started flashing his empty palms, "Compensation please!"
Seeing Shik about to complain again, Kobi hurriedly cut him short, "But, you know, I am somebody with Saint's blood and all so I am very generous, guess what!? Imma reduce your punishment! But only if you vow to fulfill it!" Kobi flashed a magnimious smile.
"Huh? You think I'm gonna trust you? Scram devil!" Shik looked away in disdain, his hands folded above his chest.
"Ho! So you will give me a Thousand All Stat Potion instead? Nice! I'm rich baby!" Kobi's lips morphed into a snicker.
Shik's lips spasmed, "Alright, spit your other condition."
"Vow you will fulfill it!" Kobi grinned widely.
"Shit! I don't like your intentions." Shik drifted away.
"Humph! You aren't in the shoes to be making demands brat. Vow!" Kobi calmly cracked his neck arrogantly.
"...Damn your ancestors whose vile blood exists in you." Shik took a deep breath.
"Ouch!" Kobi hurriedly clenched his head," M-My mental stability has been affected due to your vile words, I need more compensati–"
"I VOWWW!" Shik felt his tiny heart would burst out of his chest if he let this devil exist. "NOW SPIT OUT YOUR CONDITION!"
While wiping his sweat, Shik made a pact with himself I his heart, 'I will purify this devil one day!'
"Aw! That's quick." Kobi cleared his throat, his eyes innocently sizing up Shik, "Pretty simple. You will give me five Roulette spins that I can use anytime."
Shik rubbed his chin thoughtfully, before nodding solemnly, "Yea, that's not too har–"
"In addition to wiping out all vile videos of me and swearing to never make them again!" Kobi's eyes flickered like a dangerous beast, 'HERE'S MY CHANCE! MUHAHAHAHA!!'
'Oh damn! so this was what he was after... huh?!' Shik heaved a deep breath, 'Seems like this devil has no redemption.'
Despite everything, Shik knew these conditions were far better than giving out the potion he wanted.
And, this went to show that he could actually sacrifice a Thousand All Stat Potion but not his vile character... There was truly no saving this satan.
"Fine! Your requests are acknowledged." Shik placed his left hand behind his back and snapped his fingers with his right.
"Really!?" Kobi's eyes widened, 'He consented? There's gotta be some catch for sure!'
"No!" Kobi scoffed, and pulled out his index finger. "One," A cunning glint flashed in his eyes, "I will only fulfill one of the two."
Hearing that, Kobi suddenly turned into a scared and timid kitty, "B-But all the injuries can't be repaid by a single thing!"
Shik's eyes trembled as he felt his aloof facade falling into pieces, 'This scum!!'
"There's no more consenting. Choose one or choose neither. Up to you.!" Shik shrugged.
"So... be it!" Kobi's lips stretched apart, his grin reaching ear-to-ear. His eyes glowing hideously like monster slowing being unchained, "Then I choose... a challenge!"
Shik yelped, "Cha-Challenge?"
"Yep! If I win... you fulfill both my conditions. If I fail, you can ignore this ever happened." Kobi's eyes flickered, and, strangely, he started taking a deep breath.
"Huh?" Shik, giving his strange behaviour no heed, contemplated and hurriedly accepted, "Sure!"
Kobi hurriedly exhaled his lengthy breath and flashed a sly smirk, "I was just taking a breather! but thank you for your blessings nonetheless!" A chuckle escaped his lips to the dread of Shik, "The challenge will be issued by me, whenever I want, and you will accept without the appeal of rejection."
Shik's lips spasmed, "Shit! isn't this too in your favo–"
"Let's go bud! We have a long, long life in front of ourselves!" Saying so, Kobi started striding forward.
Shik felt his heart beating timidly, 'I can smell the danger in the air.'
As Kobi kept walking, his vision gradually recovered to the point where he could barely see around.
"What kind of a mess is this?" Kobi blurted out in surprise.
As his squinted eyes slowly rotated around. He could see that he was inside a deep, cave.
Large spikes protruded from both the roof and the rocky ground.
And on these spikes, he could see bead size red balls slowly glistening here and there, 'Kombops? So many?'
"What... is this place?" Kobi gulped, his feet dragging back.
'A dungeon!" Shik smirked calmly, 'YOU PIECE OF A DEVIL! I HOPE YOU DIE!!'
Kobi frowned, "I felt as if somebody just cursed me!" With an even graver frown, he muttered, "I hope that son of bitch dies by chocking on his dung.
Shik's face darkened, 'Damn! Who cursed this Noble angel?'
Seeing the golden bar, completely devoid of anything, he clicked.
[Dungeon: Kombop's Breeding Grounds
Floor: 1/3
Level: 0
Dungeon-Rolled-Skills: None]
"... The fu*k!?" Kobi's lips spasmed tightly, his eyes blinked nonstop.
He shakily turned his head towards Shik, his jaw hanging loose, his trembling finger pointing towards the tab as if he had a nightmare.
"Sh-Shik! Wha-What's this? Where are the skills? My hundred plus skills? I thought those were supposed to be left in the dungeon."
"Huh!? Oh, those!" Shik nodded reminiscingly, "Dungeon-rolled skills remain in the dungeon they were rolled in." Shik controlled the urge to burst into laughter seeing Kobi's twisted expression.
"For this dungeon, you will have to roll new skills."
Kobi took a deep breath, 'Fuck! Oh fuck this world...' Kobi felt a shortage of breath, his tongue wriggled around as if it was begging Kobi for something, 'Just a little while longer... a little while longer...'
"BEFORE THE TONGUE WHICH BRINGS THE DEAD BACK TO LIFE RETURNS!!"
Shik felt his heart tremble looking at the indignation in Kobi's blood-shot eyes. 'Why does he feel so wronged?'
Shik shook his head speechlessly, 'I better annoy him a hella lot before my secret weapon slips away.'
