Chapter 6: Chapter 6

Alura's face turned grim when she sensed that they were about to path ways. The first person to ever show her a shred of kindness was about to leave her already.

Nero paused for a second and observed how she was dressed in nothing but a tattered white dress and no shoes.

"Hmm on second thought, I think you should keep close until we leave her"

He then gently pinched her dress and guided her along.

Alura had a concern look on her face as she noticed.

"Do you refuse to hold my hand because you think I am filthy?"

Nero sighed 

"It's more along the lines of I am a stranger and I don't to hold the hand of a female I just met because that may make you feel uncomfortable and I wish to avoid that. If you so like, I can hold your hand because it will make not getting separated a lot easily.

Alura looked at the ground and wiped her hands on her dress.

"It's not an issue"

"Ok well great"

Nero held her hand, her small delicate hand in his large rough one. Alura felt a slight bit of security from it 

Gently pulling her along, they navigated through floors five and six with zero difficulties avoiding enemies 

The pair then arrived on the seventh floor

To their surprise the environment of the floor was desert like with sandstorms.

"Keep your eyes open"

Alura nodded and clenched her fist. Nero wasn't sure if she could fight right now so he immediately drew his blade

Wandering around for a bit now, looking for his target Nero kept vigilant as the area was barely visible due to the sand being blown around.

He began to feel a bit uneasy as if he was being watched. It reminded him of the scrawler on floor three.

Nero and Alura paused for a second.

"What is it?" asked Alura

"I feel like we're being stalked"

Alura got closer to Nero as she heard those words.

"I guess I have no choice"

He activated his skill 'Mana Enhancement' for a few seconds to pin point the location of the stalker.

"It's still a distance away" he said to himself as the translucent crimson red aura around him faded.

Suddenly something came flying out of the sand cloud, a blue liquid like substance.

It was coming directly at Alura's blind spot. Nero pushed her out of the way but some of the liquid landed on the back of his hand 

He felt a tingling sensation on the back of his hand and his tight grip on the hilt of his sword began to unloosen

His arm was going numb.

"Stay Down!" he ordered Alura

More blue liquid came flying at him.

Nero side stepped out of the way then side stepped out of the way again

He then rolled to the side avoiding contact with more of it.

"Damn it's multiple monsters"

*Thud*

His weapon fell out of his hand onto the ground

His entire right arm was numb

"The toxin is spreading too quickly"

Nero then picked up the sword with his left hand

Staring into the dust cloud, he ran in there full speed.

The low visibly was already a problem and added to that he had to dodge projectiles but Nero still charged in.

He figured that it made no sense being target practice or waiting the creatures out because the toxin was spreading too quickly.

Alura looked on in horror as she saw the silhouette of a human and several human sized snake like creatures engaged in combat.

The snake like creatures striking at the human who dodged it.

The human silhouette disappeared and reappeared after a few seconds.

The snake like creatures falling one by one like a forest of trees in the way of a lumberjack.

The silhouette of Nero walked towards Alura holding something in his hand

A few moments later, he appeared out of the dust cloud.

The thing he held in his hand was the dark purple severed head of a Daimon Back Vapor

"Are you ok?" Alura asked

"Do you still have the bottle?"

"Bottle?"

"Yes the water bottle"

Alura nodded and handed him the dark green glass bottle

Nero exhaustingly sat on the dusty ground and placed one of the four inch fangs into the mouth of the bottle then pressed on the back of the severed head.

Blue liquid slowly dripped out of it's fang and into the bottle.

Alura looked on in interest

Nero noticed her

"I assume you don't know what this is?"

Alura shook her head

"It's called a Daimon Back Vapor and the liquid it secretes when in contact with it's victim causes the body to go completely numb. It is pretty fast working after the victim is numb and unable to move. The Daimon Back Vapor consumes the poor soul. So that concludes today's lecture"

After the bottle was filled 1/4 of the way, he tossed the head to the side and covered the bottle. 

Nero then gave the bottle to Alura then dug into his bag. After a bit, he pulled out a green potion then drank it.

A few seconds later, the feeling in his right hand came back and he moved it a bit.

"Thank you Emi" he quietly said

Nero then retook the bottle of Daimon Back Vapor toxin from Alura.

"That concludes my visit here"

He then gently grabbed Alura's hand which surprised her a bit as she looked at him

Nero held the green strawberry sized crystal in his right hand then released the mana he had stored up in it.

In an instant both of them were on floor one.

Alura was amazed by that because it was her first time she ever experienced an escape crystal teleportation

"Wow that was amazing"

"Oh, it was an escape crystal, it transports the holder and whoever he/she might be holding to a previous location that has been marked with mana but it is single use only"

The escape crystal crumbled into green dust in the palm of his hand as he explained it.

"It feels good to be out of there"

Alura stared at Nero who walked towards the teleporter

He looked back at her

"Are you coming?"

"Yes-s" 

Alura ran to catch up to him as they both stood on the teleporter's stone platform.
