In the dungeon. It was the same time when Sin was practicing with Spear that Athena showed him.
After getting caught up with Robin, May Bell and others started to kill monsters again. Today they will do a day-long dungeon run. They do that sometimes to increase their skill sets.
Today was such a day which was scheduled before. Though Robin has calmed down a bit, hostility for Sin didn't go down. He was still taking his rage on the monsters of this dungeon.
May Bell was looking at him with a frown. That boy finally qualified for the under-21 first strings. If he shows this kind of expression he will get a few demerit points.
They have moved up to 12 floors. The Minotaur incident was a one-time disaster, it won't happen again. They can clean this floor quite easily. On floor 12 there was no boss monster. They have killed floor 10 boss monsters quite easily.
So it was quite a smooth pace for them. Except for Robin everyone was taking things easily. May Bell was the daughter of a Marquesses. So, she has greater access than any other of them and she is the most talented person in this group. So, that was the reason she was chosen as the leader of the under-21 first string of Augment.
One of their teammates stops on her track. Her name is Nargis Newaz, the second female member of this team.
She was looking cautiously in a place. She was a sensory-type healer of this team. So, she can sense any abnormal things ahead of them.
She was confused because she was sure it was not a monster. But why were they standing in front of them? Who could they be?
May Bell ask what happened? If she senses something abnormal. Nargis nodded to her and said, a high-ranking being was standing in front of them. They were so strong that, it was out of her range to detect their level.
May Bell frown. This tunnel is a one-way route. You go forward or you go backward. That's the only option they have. So, they will meet them anyway. But why was someone like waiting there? Were they waiting for them?
May Bell as a captain now have to make a decision. On the other hand, Robin told her why they have to go back, it is not like they could harm them here if not a monster.
May Bell thought about this. It's true that no matter which high ranker is as long as they are monsters they won't harm them unless they are...
She then made the decision to walk forward.
They saw a maid standing there with a battle umbrella. May Bell recognized her as soon as she saw her.
This woman was a former adventurer who already retired. Though she wasn't one of the highest-ranked adventurers they saw, however, she was someone who was feared by all.
Her name was Blood Soaked Fatema. Who was a member of the mixed adventurer party without a Team name who went to the highest floor of adventurers could reach the Asmodeus dungeon?
She could even kill the king if you give her money. Despite that, she is regarded as one of the important assets of the dungeon.
What she knows is, she retired from adventure. No one knows what her current occupation was, however many people saw her with Madam Rubi Tazzel. She was having a bad premonition.
May Bell greeted her. Then asked her, why her humble self was here.
Fatema replied with a lazy voice, I heard somebody has praised our Sir Judge and Madam Rubi. I came to give them regards of mine as a representative of them.
May Bell looked at Robin and then replied with a sigh that, he was a young man without a brain. He has yet to understand how the world works. Hopefully, she looked at them with mercy.
Fatema narrowed her eyes. It was as if she got annoyed instead.
May Bell hurriedly said, We will send an apology letter from our Augment party. Hearing her, Fatema sighed and told her that, what she was thinking was shallower. The backlash of offending members of the Abraham family not everyone can afford.
Then she sighed again and told her not to do that again. The situation of the royal family and the Archduke family wasn't really good.
So, they need to be more cautious. Unless they don't have strong evidence against him, they cannot offend him.
Saying that she was about to leave. However, Robin told her to stop. He said he was sick to hear, he couldn't offend him here, offend him there. Why would he care about trash?
What do they think normal people are? Insect? That's unfair.
Hearing him, Fatema stopped. She looked at him. Her umbrella opened smoothly. As soon as she did that, everything got a mess for them.
Surrounding them turn a deep red aura. It was as if static waves were peeling off their skin. Even May Bell was feeling she might vomit at any moment.
On the other hand, Robin could barely stand. He was not weaker here but also taking the full force of blood lust of Blood Soaked Fatema.
This aura was so threatening that they are thinking this may be their end.
Fatema told them that, they should not question what cannot be questioned. Or they will die immature. This time she will leave them intact. Next time it won't happen.
Saying that she retracted her bloodlust and started to walk away.
Everyone here is praying that she would go out of their sight as soon as possible.
When she left, Robin's eyes got white and he collapsed on the floor losing consciousness.
No one dared to touch him, because they weren't in their rational mind. When they returned to their senses, one of them asked what just happened here.
However, no one replied to him. All of the strength of Nargis's legs gave out her knees.
May Bell's anger for Sin grow on her heart more than before. However, there is nothing she could do. Augment cannot afford to offend their opponent this time.
She was slightly angry toward Robin too. He was an immature bastard. He should be punished. Because of his unthoughtful words, he will bring bigger disasters than today.
However, she also swears that she will take revenge for this humiliation one day or another against Sin Abraham.
