Chapter 94: Ch 94: Unexpected visitors

Hello dear readers.

 I regret to inform you that I will not be able to keep up with this rhythm of publications in the next two months since there are a series of reasons that will make it very difficult for me to write and publish.
 
 Some of those reasons are the fact that I have some final exams coming up that I need to pass; and that I will not have my computer with me, since I will not be at home due to a health issue. 

Sorry for not being able to keep up with posting, but I've been sleeping extremely little for a few weeks now to try to get more done than I can, and I'm not managing to give 100% on any of the things I need (my work and my study)/want to do (keep writing). 

However, by September 1 at the latest (probably sooner) I will be back to normal posting. By that time I will have finished, for better or for worse, preparing and performing for my exams. The new time rhythm of publication will be one chapter per week, and the chapters will be published on Wednesdays. 

Once again, sorry for not being able to keep up with the pace of publication, and thanks for reading the novel.

Thanks to my patrons and to those who comment on the chapters. It means a lot to me and motivates me to continue this hobby of mine.

And, of course, thanks to everyone who reads this work.

*************************************

'Normally, monsters attack with an established order. And it is unthinkable that they would act irrationally when, from the beginning, they do not possess wisdom. In other words, they only attack by instinct.'

'That instinct is in their blood. So, as long as they belong to the same species, they will attack similarly. Reckless and situational moves can only be made by floor bosses. That's why a snow wolf jumping when its two forelegs were damaged is extremely strange.'

'After all, if they did it frequently the adventurers would starve to death... No one would dare to fight with berserker monsters!'

'"Let's rest here, I don't feel like there's a monster nearby."'

'"I can use my magic if you want."'

'"You've already used it a few times. If you do it again, your mana will decrease a lot."'

'In a corner of the hallway, we are sitting like lovers.'

'Now that we are so close together, is that I can feel her breathing and heart rate. And as I expected, she is tired… but she hasn't said anything. Although religious people have the habit of hiding all their problems, this habit could bring us trouble in a labyrinth.'

'"Delia, when you are tired say so. Just one mistake here can lead us to death."'

'"...MN, fine."'

'If it had been when I first met her, she most likely wouldn't agree. Since she probably would say that she doesn't want to cause me trouble. But now she obediently nodded, accepting that times are different and she can't keep everything to herself anymore.'

'I wanted to keep insisting some more, so that she would really take the matter to heart, but her three tails started to move so close to me that I forgot all the words I planned to say.'

'I slowly moved my hand closer but, when I lightly touched their fur, the tails moved away from me. They are seeming to growl at me, hinting that they still have grudges... Or at least that's how it was in my mind.'

'To forget about them still moving close to my stomach and chest, I put my head on Delia's shoulder. Her scent is very soothing… it makes me remember the moments when I warmed her bed...'

'I mustn't. I mustn't.'

'I almost fell asleep.'

'I quickly opened my eyes and controlled my user interface to distract myself from falling into temptation. I know my status like the back of my hand so, to shake off this relaxation, I observe Delia's status.' 

'Specifically speaking... Her magics.'

'[Healing (Ex) Lvl. 4] [0|3]'

'[Magic that can heal any type of wound and illness. Coming from the hands of a Saint, this magic far surpasses any other. It has three states: Small, Medium, and Great. Requires a spell for activation]'

'[Upgrades 0 of 3]'

'[To increase to the next level, you need the following materials:'

'(Concentrated Mana) (Golden Leaf) (Apple of Life)]'

'With this, I can already be sure that 'Ex' is the upgrade of the skill by evolving to a higher class. And, by doing so, the previous skill is immediately replaced. In my case, 'Inventory' was replaced by 'Inventory (Ex)' when activating [Great Adventurer]. Something similar happened with Delia's magics.'

'And most important of all... I've heard of all those materials!'

'Since Saint isn't a class that can be replicated, there's no need for me to obtain the materials by indiscriminately hunting monsters, since I'll only use them once. So, I'll buy them at an auction or some other similar place.'

'[Energy Recovery (Ex) Lvl. 6] [0|3]'

'[When recovering energy both will and body are affected by recovering maximum potential. Coming from the hands of a Saint, this magic far surpasses any other. It possesses three states: Small, Medium, and Great. Requires a spell for its activation]'

'[Enhancements 0 of 3]'

'[To upgrade to the next level, the following materials are required:'

'(Hidden Bamboo) (Leaf of Milerd) (Apple of Energy)]'

'Its level must be higher because Delia constantly uses it, since it is a very convenient magic either in daily life or in the labyrinth. As for materials, I've only heard about the apple, which recovers energy as its name implies.'

'[Detoxification (Ex) Lvl. 1] [0|3]'

'[Magic that cures the abnormal poison state of a living being. Coming from the hands of a Saint, this magic can cure a wide variety of poisons. It possesses three states: Small, Medium, and Great. Requires a spell for activation]'

'[Enhancements 0 of 3]'

'[To upgrade to the next level, the following materials are required:'

'(Lisz's Fang) (Green Mist Flower) (Poison Apple)]'

'This time, the common description among the magics changed a bit. Unlike the others, this magic increases the variety of poisons to cure, while the others only boosted the magic by coming from a Saint.'

'Its level is so low that it makes me think Delia has never used it.'

'[Remove Curse (Ex) Lvl. 1] [0|3]'

'[Magic that cures the abnormal curse state of a living being. Coming from the hands of a Saint, this magic can cure a wide variety of curses. It possesses three states: Small, Medium, and Great. Requires a spell for its activation]'

'[Enhancements 0 of 3]'

'[To upgrade to the next level the following materials are required:'

'(Cursed Bone) (Possessed Paper) (Corrupted Apple)]'

'Very similar to Detoxification, this magic has not been used by Delia and its upgrade is to increase the variety of curses to heal. And its materials... They sound creepy.'

'Why is the last material always an apple? In all the magics there is an apple-type material… it is something quite curious.'

'Curses are very rarely used by labyrinth monsters. Perhaps it is a merciful act on the part of the labyrinth, or it carries a great weight on the part of the monster. The reality is that curses take away something very important from their target. For example, they eliminate vision, hearing, touch, and others. The worst curses are those that slowly take away life, or change the personality.'

'Well, those are all Delia's magics.'

'I originally thought there would be more spells, because all the rumors about the Saints. But the user interface has never lied to me, so this must be accurate information.'

'Still... Why do I feel like I'm missing something very important about a Saint?'

'Well, if it's that important I'll remember it later.'

'Now, Delia also possesses the [Inventory] skill. But I won't upgrade it because if by chance of life, she stores something in it, then she will realize the multiple classes. It's best to leave it at level 1. That way it requires a spell to activate, and the odds of Delia activating it are close to 0%.'

'After all, it's not that simple to keep something in inventory.'

'"Delia, shall we continue?"'

'Enough time has passed to recover her energy and it's time to go back to picking fights with the monsters.'

'"Delia...Delia..."'

'Did she fell asleep? Inside a labyrinth?'

'Mm... Ah, right.'

'We were up all night watching the deer cook. In fact, it's a miracle we could come to the labyrinth and fight so much without noticing it.'

'The magic 'Energy Recovery' can really make you forget the sleepiness… This is an unexpected discovery. Especially since I don't feel any different than if I had slept the same hours as usual, but I haven't really slept at all!'

'It's time to go home.'

'Carefully, I carried Delia on my back and walked through the corridors where there were no monsters. Sometime later, I reached the exit. The sun is still in the sky… normally we leave the labyrinth when it is dusk, so we are only leaving about 2 hours early.'

'Arriving at the dirt road, it was about 10 minutes before I saw a carriage. I successfully managed to convince the driver to take us for some copper coins and, several minutes later, I jumped out of the carriage without telling the driver... This is getting to be a habit.'

'After casting the Space Travel magic, we appeared near the Solitary temple without Delia waking up the whole way.'

'This is a great achievement. If all goes well, I'll be able to leave Delia in bed and make love to her while she's still half asleep. Yesterday she looked very adorable being half asleep, so the visual pleasure will go through the roof!'

'"There's no one here, captain! We'll have to fight here. We won't be able to reach Denir city at this rate!!!"'

'Someone shouted near the Solitary temple.'

'"Mm?" Delia innocently opened her eyes and looked all around.'

'F*****ck!'

'Who dares to wake Delia up!'

'All my effort has been in vain!'

'As if it wasn't bad enough, the next second the sounds of swords and animal roars were loud enough for Delia to wake up completely, not giving me the time to sing her a lullaby and get her back to sleep.'
