Walking towards the deeper dungeon, Zerlicia slashed through all the monsters that were blocking her using a sword that was almost blunt because of the too much she used today.
"My sword, I guessed it.." said Zerlicia when the sword she used broke in the fight.
Instantly he made a sword of magic element despite knowing, if he would lose a lot of power in using it.
Zerlicia has to skimp! The supply of food and potions he brought, was very limited. If he could not save his magic energy, Zerlicia could have been killed instantly inside the dungeon.
"Floor 27? Shit, today I can only get to the 27th floor?!", complained Zerlicia in annoyance, she then leaned against the wall of the dungeon, then she sat down to rest for a while there.
Looking around, Zerlicia was very tired today, in retrospect, she had been walking all day and now, night had come. He was so exhausted, if he forced his way on, his life could be threatened!
He intends to rest in a small cave located in the dungeon, build a tent, and cook food to fill his rumbling stomach. Zerlicia then slept to recover her strength.
When she woke up the next morning, Zerlicia sat down daydreaming for a moment and went to clean up all the equipment she took out. Supposedly, Zerlicia rested even longer, yesterday she was very wasteful in using her magic energy, so chances are, her magic energy still has not fully recovered.
"I'm tired."
Zerlicia murmured, she continued to fight every monster that came at her, no matter how powerful the monster was. As said from the beginning, whatever the way, Zerlicia must make the Demon Queen help her.
And now, Zerlicia hopes that, what she does, will convince the Demon Queen to help her.
Although she was very tired, her eyes were sleepy, her breathing was breathless, Zerlicia still had to step forward, every obstacle she encountered, she had to work on so that she could step forward.
"I guessed it.. forced myself, very.", Zerlicia reached the 43rd floor.
He intended to continue his journey without rest though but it seemed impossible for him to do. Zerlicia was almost sprawled from exhaustion, the blood of the monster that was wetting her was also almost dry, the smell was very pungent, inevitably, Zerlicia had to change clothes.
"If only I were reincarnated as a man, maybe I could live them well" said Zerlicia washing her body in a small lake she saw.
"Women are weak! Even though I tried hard, the fact that I could not cross my boundaries as a woman was huge! Who am I to dare to go against the laws of nature?", he said in his heart as he shed his tears.
Zerlicia is submerged in a small lake that is quite open. Although in his heart there were still worries, but here there were only monsters without sense. Zerlicia had to feel relieved that there were no other humans in this dungeon. But in addition, Zerlicia also had to remain vigilant with wild monsters like goblins and so on.
Zerlicia also washed the clothes she was wearing in the small lake, carrying only one other outfit that she would wear when the clothes she was wearing had been completely damaged. However, his clothes were only dirty due to the blood of the monster he was fighting. He did not need to change his clothes just because of such a small thing.
Zerlicia was wearing a towel, warming herself with the bonfire she had made, Zerlicia sat quietly while slightly daydreaming about her sisters. There was no one he could talk to, he was so lonely, Zerlicia could not express the grievances buried in his heart. Zerlicia had to keep everything under wraps until she finished her business with the Demon Queen.
"Really, who am I to dare to go against the laws of nature?", Zerlicia looked up at the ceiling of the dungeon as she waited for her wet clothes to dry after she had sunbaked on the bonfire.
After his clothes dried, he got dressed again and slept in the tent to recharge his strength. In the future, he will have to fight even harder for him to become stronger than before.
"That dream again.?" said Zerlicia daydreaming of what she had dreamed.
Just like yesterday, it was that dream that made Zerlicia reluctant to rest. It felt like the dream tied him up so that he could not move any further.
He dreamed, Zerlicia dreamed of a girl who was short enough from him, in his dream, Zerlicia was tied to a pole, then the girl seemed to play tricks on him like he was playing a doll.
Zerlicia was very sure, if the girl in the dream, was a Demon Queen that she had to meet. That is why, Zerlicia always daydreamed when she just woke up from her sleep.
Zerlicia was very afraid of continuing her steps, even so, the responsibility she carried was greater compared to her fear. Zerlicia must step forward! It has to grow! Zerlicia must immediately meet the Demon Queen so that she can establish a contract with the Queen of all demons.
66 Floor. The longer Zerlicia got closer to the throne room of the Demon Queen. Soon, he would fight against a powerful entity in this other world. However, Zerlicia now feels hesitant to continue his steps.
The potion he brought, will soon run out. Zerlicia was afraid that the potion would run out before she made it to the Demon Queen's throne room.
<"Focus!">
The same voice was heard again. The sound seemed to give a hypnotic effect to Zerlicia. Because, the voice only appeared when Zerlicia felt anxiety in her heart.
"Yes-yes, soon enough." said Zerlicia to encourage herself.
He walked towards the deeper floor again, with the preparation of such a strong determination, Zerlicia stepped step by step closer to the throne room of the Demon Queen who was his target.
For a moment he realized that he was hypnotized by the sound that appeared in his head, but, because he had already walked, Zerlicia did not care about being hypnotized or not.
All he cared about was going to see the Demon Queen so that he could be bound by a contract with her. Nothing less than that! If he was worried, the voice would hypnotize him again until Zerlicia came to the throne room of the evil ruler of Satan.
A week had passed, at least it was Zerlicia's time now if counted from the amount she slept inside the dungeon. Because he slept 7 times, automatically Zerlicia thought that, he had been in the dungeon for 7 full days. Even more.
And now, he had arrived before the gate leading to the throne room of the Demon Lord Queen. When Zerlicia approached the great gate, it opened by itself. It was as if the owner of the room allowed Zerlicia to enter his room.
In the silence, Zerlicia looked around, the potion she had brought was only a dozen left. About 7 healing potions and also 6 potions to recover magic energy. Zerlicia also brought at least 10 power-enhancing herbs, even so, now that the potion was, there were only 3 left.
"Humans have never before entered this room. If it could, it would be that the person's body had fallen apart," said a girl from within the darkness before at the end, her face visible after the lantern lights in her room, lit up.
"Include, the Queen of all kinds of demons, Archela! Looks like you're no ordinary human, am I wrong, Miss reincarnator?"
"W-where did you know that?!", in panic, Zerlicia shouted towards Archela who appeared with a gripping aura behind her body.
<"Focus"> that sound again...
Zerlicia again got a telepathy from someone. The telepathy told him to focus on what he was doing.
But nevertheless...
"You hear that?"
"...?!" for a moment Zerlicia was terrified, because Archela's voice was the same as the voice she had heard in her head.
"True, I didn't think you were really serious about coming here, when you could have ignored my words and run away."
"...."
"Well, whatever, even if you're a reincarnator, you're still a human being, huh? But, even so, I like strong humans. Don't let me down, miss!", Archela attacked Zerlicia in an instant. Zerlicia was also pressed by his attack.
Luckily, Zerlicia managed to avoid him.
"Good, let's have fun, man!"
