FVN Chapter 326
Chapter 326
Chapter 326The sheep in a suit was shot up into the air and crashed down on a table, smashing it into two. Broken plates, glass, and mahogany rained down on it.
""
It staggered to its feet, its head covered with spaghetti.
No, it tried to get up. The Kizen student, not being used to their sheeply form, kept on wobbling and then fell on its butt. Still, its eyes remained fixed on Simon.
"What just was that?!!"
Its eyes were filled with a mixture of anger and confusion.
"You barely touched me with your palm, so how did you—??!"
The sheep's words were cut short. Because a streak of scarlet light shot into its side pushing it away so quickly that for a second Simon thought it had been deleted.
With a sickening thud, the sheep was slammed against the wall.
Surprised, Simon turned his head, and then he saw Lorain with her right arm raised.
"Did I interrupt you?"
"No, thanks for the help."
As he replied, Simon was looking at what was behind her.
It was amazing, no matter how many times he saw it.
The red eyes that were the product of space distorting around her. Simon wondered what lay beyond that space.
As she lowered her hand, the rifts closed, disappearing without a trace.
"Lorain, what about your opponent?"
She twitched her head to the side to gesture for Simon to look. The cat was buried in a wall, in a very similar predicament to the sheep.
[All assassins from the assassin team have been defeated.]
[Extraordinarily quick clear of game has been confirmed.]
[Additional objective emerging.]
[Additional objective: Protect the Pig Princess from new enemies.]
"It's an additional objective!"
An additional objective popped up, probably because they started a huge mess after relying on their power instead of following the game's intent.
Simon thought it was better this way.
The first game, raft survival, he and Jamie also got an additional objective after running past all the monsters with the deimos. And that was how he got the glasses that helped their user to
"Now, princess!"
""
The Pig Princess, being controlled by Simon, had picked the couch back up and was charging in.
The ground cracked to make room for the cloaked figure being driven down like a stake. A faint groan escaped the faceless form, and then it went limp.
"O-Oh! Ohohoho! Serves you right!"
The Pig Princess put her hand over her mouth as she laughed in the smuggest way possible. Not a thought of danger remained in her mind.
'Ugh.'
On the other hand, Simon frowned and brought his hand to his forehead.
'I got too excited and overused my jet-black…'
Simon's head whipped around as he brought out what little jet-black remained to face whatever made that noise, but his jaw dropped when he saw what it actually was.
The boss monster had been slammed against the wall with five holes in its chest and head. Instead of smoke, blood poured out from its helmet.
[A-A… monster!]
Lorain's spear pierced through the boss monster's helmet. She scoffed and retrieved her spear. A drop of blood splashed against her cheek.
'I guess there's no need for me to worry about Lorain.'
Having defeated the boss, it wasn't hard to clear out the rest of the remaining assassins.
Once all the assassins were taken down, a new message popped up.
[Additional objective accomplished.]
[Please claim your reward.]
The boss crumbled to dust, and two treasure chests appeared where its corpse should've been.
Simon let out a sigh of relief and smiled.
"Good job, Lorain."
"You too, Simon."
The two then walked toward the treasure chests. Having also removed the Bone Armor, the Pig Princess let out a hiss and ran out of the mansion.
Lorain started to move after the Pig Princess, but Simon grabbed her shoulder.
"It's fine now. Everything is over."
"Yeah… It is."
Simon and Lorain picked a treasure chest each.
'I wonder what's inside?'
Simon opened his treasure chest with excitement.
"Woah!"
A gasp escaped from his mouth.
"A crystal skeleton?"
The treasure chest contained a product with an undead new to Simon.
[Crystal Skeleton]
[A natural-type undead from the Crystal Cave that has been converted into a summon-type skeleton.]
[Reacts strongly to jet-black and mana!]
[Suitable for any combination of skeletons!]
Simon took the product out, grinning like a kid on Christmas.
'Th-Thank you, Sir Endolas Vaudeville…!'
Lorain scoffed and turned her head away sourly while she saw how impressed Simon was by the treasure.
"I don't really need it. Do you want the crystal skeleton I got as well?"
"!"
Simon's head whipped toward her, his eyes shining.
Then, realizing that he behaved indecently, he coughed in embarrassment.
"Thanks, but that's too—!"
"There."
Lorain picked up her chest and placed it on top of Simon's. Simon staggered but quickly straightened up.
"No pressure, feel free."
Simon was visibly trembling with excitement.
"I-I'll find out how much this is worth and send you the money!"
"I said it's fine… Ah."
Lorain grinned.
"Then, let's just say you owe me one."
Simon reeled back in surprise.
He had heard that line before.
"Did you… get that from Serene?!"
"The portal to get back appeared over there. Let's go."
Lorain quickly changed the subject, a sly grin on her face.
Placing the two crystal skeletons into his subspace, Simon soon followed after her.
