Chapter 6 - Your weenie went stiff

☆ ★ ★ ★ ☆

After an hour of walking we finally reach the exit of the tunnel and what awaits us is a big room that has a crystal-clear pond in the middle. My happiness shot through the roof as this is I think the best thing I encounter in the past 3 days. I can now wash off my sweat and goblins blood that has been stuck in my body for days.

I immediately went butt naked and started to rush and dive into the pool but before I could dive I stop and thought twice.

This is not dangerous, right? Something like an acidic pool that will disintegrate my body once I submerge.

“That’s just normal water it is safe” As if sensing my concern Isabella assured me.

I looked at her behind and saw that she’s also started undressing her clothes. I guiltily look away but there’s a weird feeling of anticipation building up that I unintentionally look back again. As she remove her pants I again saw her fanny in full view and the weird feeling that is building up inside me soared.

“Eroan" She call me out. "your weenie is stiff again” Isabella was looking at me as she point down at my crotch, I did not even realize that she is done undressing and began walking up toward me.

“Huh? Again?” I am muddled. I looked down and yeah my weenie was stiff and hard and it seems it doubled in size. It was my first time seeing it like that so I play with it like a sword and swung it around.

“Yes, every morning your weenie does that thing as if to greet the morning”

“What you looked at mine while sleeping yet you have the gall to kick me when I do that?”

“It is not like it is my fault your weenie stands tall as if asking to be free in your pants, I just did it out of curiosity.” Isabella blushed at her comment.

“Pfft! Pervert” I smirked at her.

“Wha– What a gall?! Aren’t you the one who’s aroused right now because of a child’s naked body?”

“Hah? What do you mean”

“Whatever!” Isabella puffed her face and went to the pond. She crosses her arms and jumps down to the pond.

Not understanding her annoyance I just shrug it off and submerge in the pond as well.

We started to wash off the sticky dirt all over our bodies. It is an uncomfortable feeling to undergo when the tension inside your body during a fight subsides. Especially the blood and sweat that was stuck in your hair it is an irritating feeling for me.

Good thing that Isabella bring soap with us before we set foot in the ruins.

“Isabella I Luv Yuuu” I hug her and kiss her on the face again and again as she gives me the soap.

She brushed me off and went to the other side of the pond and ignored me. Not being accustomed to ignoring me when I’m teasing her. I dive under the water then jump behind her and splash water on her. She got mad and she also start counter-attacking. We giggle like no tomorrow as our fight in the pond started to get serious and the ripples on the water get excited.

After we got rid of each other stress, we pick our clothes and equipment on the side to wash the stains off. I check my sword and the horror of the non-stop fighting could be seen. It has accumulated a lot of dents on the edges and I don’t think I can use it as my main weapon one more time. But as if she planned it all to happen Isabella pick the sword that has been resting on her waist and gave it to me to use as my new main weapon. I did not throw away the used sword and hung it on my waist as it could be used for backup. Regardless of using your enemy weapon as an alternative, it is still better to have a backup that is within reach at any given moment.

After we finish cleaning ourselves we decided to sleep first to get rid of our mental fatigue. Isabella wants us to sleep together as this was a safe zone and no one will disturb our rest. But I was adamant as I won’t trust my life to those old scriptures or whatever. In the end, I manage to convince Isabella that I will sit beside her as she sleeps while I am keeping watch. Isabella fell asleep while holding my hand.

I move aside the strands of hair that was in the way of her face. She looks like an angel while sleeping. Her behavior earlier before she went to sleep is something new to me, as she never openly shows this vulnerable side of hers. It was always this conceited attitude that she always show to me. But because of that our closeness to each other becomes firmer.

A couple of hours later Isabella wakes up and we switch spots. She thanked me for watching her as I lay down myself. I find it amusing and grateful to have someone you can trust yourself in.

I surrender myself to slumber as I think of joyous moments.

☆ ★ ★ ★ ☆

“Hey, Eroan wake up”

Isabella taps my face as she wakes me up. When I opened my eyes I saw her face inches away from mine. I look her in the eyes but she backs away from the challenge.

“You enjoyed your rest too much remember that we were still inside the dungeon. There was still the last fight before we can exit safely” Isabella reminded me while checking her equipment.

If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.

“Mhmm, How long I was asleep?”

“About more than 3 hours. I think that is more than enough that’s why I woke you up”

“I don’t mind you should have woken me up sooner.”

“Well, I was waiting for your weenie to wake up again but I guess he is also too tired” Isabella teasingly respond.

“Pfft! Pervert”

“Pfft! Eroan we are both perverts haha”

We continue to enjoy each other’s company and joked around together to entertain ourselves while we prepare for our last fight. After careful preparation as Isabella’s suggestion, we pursue forward toward our last destination. The distance about the last hurdle wasn’t that far, after about 10 minutes walk I could already glimpse the entrance. How can I not discern it from afar, the entrance is at least a 15-foot tall door. The door is a double door design that opens in the middle. The exterior design is extremely exquisite and ancient. It is extremely sturdy too as I try to lay a hand on it.

Isabella went ahead and stand in front of the door. She took clasped her hands and close her eyes as if she was going to pray. I back off and observe her from behind to anticipate what is going to happen.

A few moments later some changes took shape. Isabella who is quietly praying in front started to have a development. Her small body began to emit some red hues all over her body. The inflexible door that was tightly shut down began to tremble. After a scant moment, the intact Ancient door in front of us slowly unlocks and opens wide. Isabella whose eyes are closed ever since the start of the occurrence slowly opens. The red hue that surrounds her body starts to dissipate.

“What is that? Your body emits red light. Did you do something?” I asked Isabella who took a deep breath.

“Red light?” Isabella responded with clear confusion on her face.

“Yes, there’s this red aura something starts to cover your body after that this door starts to open. How did you do that?”

“Well are you sure you saw a red aura you’re not mistaken or something”

“Well I don’t think I have bad eyesight nor an old man to be mistaken on something like that”

“Well, what I did was bridge myself to the ruins spiritually. Ruin's final room has specific requirements to unlock and you need at least be a Heaven Talent to open the final test.”

Hmm, there was something like that then doesn’t that mean she was at least Heaven Talent? Wait! How did she know she had Heaven Talent when she was only 8 years old?

I pondered while I dissect the information that Isabella provide.

The Talent can only be detected by Spiritual Stone once you reach 10 years old. If she already knows that she is already a Heaven Talent then it must be another way that only nobles can access.

Well doesn’t that mean her family is a bit well-off?

“Hey Eroan, did you actually see the red aura?”

“Hey, do you think I’m blind?”

“No, it’s just–“ Isabella cut off her word and seems to be in deep thought.

“Well isn’t that something interesting?” Isabella smiled as she came back from her rumination.

“What’s interesting?” I asked as I am intrigued.

“Never mind it’s nothing” But she just brushed me off I am disappointed.

“Let’s hurry and enter the room. I am in a good mood, you don’t have to fight I will swiftly finish this.” Isabella crumpled my hair as she nominate herself to do all the fighting. While I get goosebumps when she does that. I observe her as she enters the room smiling from ear to ear.

I shrug the moment I saw her enter the room as her bipolar attitude comes out again.

She sometimes acts like an old man and if I annoy her for a little bit she will beat me. Though I can fight back at first however the experience that her family instilled in her since she started to walk comes out on top, in the end, I still lose and get beat up. That’s why I just let her act freely while I’m still not strong enough.

“Hey, look over there” She grab me by the neck as she pointed out across the end of the room.

I look where she point and saw three pedestals standing across. In the middle was an elegant red bow, and at the right looked like old scripture, I could not tell on the left as it was too small but I could see red luminosity as it sparkled over.

“What’s that?” I asked.

“Ancient stuff from past civilizations”

“How is it different from ours?”

“Heh” Isabella smirked at me “I'll show you what ancient artifacts can do.”

She put forward her right hand in front and a ring appeared on her middle finger then that ring began to shine and take shape. It enlarge and elongated first then began to form a shape at the finale it becomes an aesthetic red sword. Isabella hold the sword in the mid-air then she began to spin the sword.

Fuck she’s fucking cool!

I hate to admit but when she does that she’s too cool, maybe if she adds an entrance dialogue before the sword took shape it will be even better.

“So what do you think huh it’s cool right,” Isabella said as she shows off her artifact.

“Where did you get that?”

“On the first ruins that I explored, I got it as my final reward alongside the clue of this ruin. I think this is a set as you can see on the red bow over there.” She said with a smug look on her face.

I am so envious not only have you got that cool sword there’s even more to come. Aaahh! I almost die from jealousy inside.

“Hmph, I will get something like that too. ” I puff my face in annoyance.

“Eroan I know you could do it someday, but you should not try to enter ruins at least before your first blessing. As even this kind of simple ruin can potentially endanger your life if you don’t have something like this.” She showed me her sword artifact. “You will know why in a little bit”

I carefully noted it in my mind as she warns me seriously.

“So what should we do now?”

“Well do you see that platform over there?”

“Yeah” I looked at the large platform in the middle between us and the three pedestals.

“That’s where will the guardian of this ruin shows up”

“Get ready and be careful just stay away from the fight. I will do all the job.”

“Huh? I’m not going to fight?” I asked.

“Yes, it is something you are not still capable to face off,” Isabella said with seriousness.

Although I get what Isabella meant even if she is stronger than me I don’t think I am so weak that I could not even provide help.

Well, she will eat her words later when it gets too difficult.

We climb on the platform then Isabella gesture for me to just stay on the perimeter of the platform. I oblige and observe her as she walks toward the center.

Before she could reach the center. The large door behind us began to gradually close.

"Isabella the do–" and before I could warn Isabella what is happening behind me.

A large shadow comes down from above and it shook the entire platform as it lands.

It is a little bit large, it is at least three times taller than Isabella. I inwardly thought as I evaluate the enemy at the center of the platform.

However, my evaluation that the enemy was a little bit large proves to be wrong.

The enemy was only in a crouching position. As the large enemy began to stand up it simultaneously releases terror all over the room. The enemy grows bigger, and the fear I felt drastically spirals. My whole body was crying out as the fear I felt continuously put unbearable pressure on me. It was so unbearable that my knees went soft and my hands are shaking from fright. I manage to stab the sword on the ground to support myself while I watch the worsening situation happening in front of me.

Simultaneously, the torches intact on the wall ominously began to light up one by one and gradually surround the entire room. At the moment that the torches lit up the entire room, the madness I felt within me surged. The pupil in my eyes constrict as I began to recognize the face of our adversary.

"Th–this is a joke, right?" I mumble as I look for an answer inside the secluded room

The shadow that I thought to be a little bit large turns out to be a 15-foot monster.

It was an ogre.

A monster that even Fredric is cautious off.

My inner instincts were crying out loud to tell me one thing…

Run.
