Chapter 156 Revival
Chapter 156 Revival
I tried to turn the key in the lock and it wouldn't budge and I only had 30 seconds left before we crashed into Mars. Damn it. Maybe it was a by earner thing. Meaning, the person who earned the reward had to unlock the chest.
I grabbed Thistle's hand and put it around the key, and tried to turn it. No good. Nothing happened. Then I grabbed Penny's hand, did the same thing, and it finally turned.
Ok so that was how it worked. I grabbed Thistle's hand and made her turn the key in the lock of the other chest. It also turned. Both chests opened and revealed the cure all medicine.
I snatched them both and shoved them into Midas. I need to manifest him more. It was just such a drain on my mental resources to do that and tell him what to do all the time. It was so much easier if I just did everything.
What I needed was a way to just have him manifested all the time. And have some way he could read my mind so he knows what to do. That way I didn't have to think about it.

'System, how much time?'

Put the key in the lock and locked the dungeon. Then I put it back in my inventory and grabbed the girls. I didn't have time to revive them, which meant I couldn't hide that I had failed them. That I had allowed them to die.
Sure they would see me resurrect Thistle and Penny, but they would know I had allowed them to die in the first place, which wouldn't make me look good, that was for sure.
Not that I was sure I wanted to hide it. I had always been upfront and honest about my mistakes. Especially, when it wasn't convenient for me. Starting keeping secrets now would be a bad habit to form, so even if I did have the time, I wouldn't do it.
That said, I jumped through the portal and ran away from the portal. I didn't want to be sitting under it again when I giant chunk of metal tried to fall on me.
After a few seconds, they both started breathing again and opened their eyes.
"What happened?" Thistle said. "How are we outside the dungeon already?"
"I think I died," Penny said, starting to tear up. She grabbed me by the shoulders and tried to shake me, saying "Dylan, did I die?" Tears fell down her face.
I just hugged her. Then I grabbed Thistle and pulled her into the hug too. They both cried as they realized what had happened. "I'm sorry girls," I said. "It won't happen again."
They cried for a long time and I held them until they stopped. Thistle put her head against mine and kissed me. "Thank you for bringing us back," she said.
"I don't deserve that," I said.
"Just take it," she said, and kissed me again. We kissed and made out for what felt like minutes until I felt a tap on my shoulder.
I broke the kiss and looked over to see Penny pouting. "Where are my kisses?"
"Right here," I said as I caressed the side of her face, and pulled her in for a kiss. She kissed me back passionately. Then she exploratorily stuck her tongue in my mouth.
I rubbed my tongue against hers and she did the same. We actually made out for minutes, until Thistle whined. I kept switching back and forth between the two of them, until I realized what was happening.
I picked them both up and walked to where I knew the closest bedroom was in the Dragon Sect buildings.
"We'll be back! Wait for us or meet us at the hotel. Your choice," I said as I walked away.
