195 Chapter 195 Return
After fighting the golem, Aldred went deeper into the dungeon and cleansed any monsters he saw. Sometimes he met adventurers from Epolissa.
At first, Aldred didn’t know which province they came from, but they suddenly attacked him, so he simply told his undead to kill them all.
Aldred’s way went unhindered after that. Some adventurers from Akrolilenai even greeted or saluted him with respect.
“Death Lord! That’s the Death Lord! Quick bow your head!”
They all bowed as he walked through the tunnel. Aldred simply shrugged as he passed them, but he wondered how people heard of his name so quickly. He then looked at Bruce, the undead bowman, walking beside him.
“Maybe it’s because of you.”
Bruce shrugged as well, and they all entered another cave before fighting another Elite Level monster.
As Aldred and the undead fought, Bartrem was whistling as he flipped the meat on the grill.
“Get that lizard’s leg!” Aldred said as a stream of poison came out of the lizard’s mouth.
Bartrem grabbed his seasoning kit and hummed a calming song as he seasoned all the meat on the grill. He noticed the flame started to die.
“Hey! Aldred, can you give me some flame!”
Aldred rolled to the side as the lizard stomped on him. “Can you not see I am busy?”
“Just throw some flames here and you’re done!”
Aldred threw a fireball at Bartrem before he jumped backward, dodging the tail attack.
Bartrem slapped all the meat into the sky before he lifted the grill and let the fireball hit it. Now blazing in flame, he put the grill down, and all the meat landed one by one perfectly.
“Good flame,” Bartrem said with a smile before he grabbed some buns and put them on the grill.
He hummed a song again as he flipped the meat a bunch of times. After a few minutes, he flipped the meat onto the bun, and then top it off with another bun.
“The burger is done!”
Suddenly, the lizard was thrown into the sky, and then crashed onto his grill.
“Shit!” Aldred said as he looked at Juragan, the one who threw the lizard away.
Bartrem wore a dark expression on his face, and everyone stepped back after seeing that.
“You motherfucker!” Bartrem pounced on the giant lizard’s face and pounded its head with bare hands.
The lizard couldn’t react, and his face was hit left and right, until eventually, it passed out.
But it wasn’t over. Bartrem glared at Juragan. He pulled the lizard’s tail and then spun before throwing the lizard’s body into the sky.
Aldred stepped to the side as the lizard crashed onto Juragan, making both of them fell.
“A chef’s rage is extraordinary,” Aldred said as he looked at the pitiful lizard.
They killed the lizard and cut it down to pieces. Aldred could turn it into undead and farm its pieces infinitely, but the lizard had no special power that was unique or good enough for him. It was just a big lizard that can shoot poison. He already had Nicky, the giant velobra, for that.
After the kill, Bartrem calmed down and started cooking again. He canceled the burgers and made kebabs for everyone.
“Damn, Bartrem!” Aldred said. “Your food is getting better and better.”
Bartrem smiled proudly.
Like usual, they filled their belly with tasty food until they couldn’t do it anymore. Bartrem was more than happy to cook for them, but their stomachs had limits.
As Aldred walked through the cave, he realized something. “Where is the 10th floor exactly? We have been in this dungeon for a while now.”
“If you want to go directly to the 10th floor, we can buy a map with our merit points,” Zafrina said.
“I see. Let’s return then. I think that is enough for today. We will buy the map and then have some rest.”
They all nodded in agreement.
“Just in case, I will let the undead wreak havoc here, and put all the monster corpses in the divine dimension.”
Aldred and his friends walked to the entrance of the cave and noticed there was a great battle among adventurers.
“Kill them! Avenge Bruce!”
They clashed against each other, and the ruined city bathed in flames.
Aldred sighed. “Bruce, this happened because of you. Go clean it up.”
Bruce felt a pain in his heart. It was Aldred who killed him, now he was blamed for this chaos. Although he couldn’t feel anything, he still had emotions.
He dashed forward with his bow and rained arrows upon the enemy.
“Wait! Is that Bruce?”
“Why is he glowing in purple and dark mist?”
“Shit! He has become an undead.”
“So it was true. The Death Lord had defeated him, and turned him into an undead.”
Bruce pulled his arrows and released. The arrow shot forward and precisely hit their heart.
“Fuck! Get out of here! Bruce will kill us all!”
Bruce chased them away for one hundred meter before he ran back to Aldred.
The adventurers nearby looked at Aldred in amazement. With one command, he made all the enemies run away in fear.
“So this is the power of the Death Lord.”
“Oh my, he’s so handsome,” a beautiful lady said. She glanced at the beautiful women flocking around him. “I wonder if he has a spot for me.”
Aldred summoned Teethless. The Bajaragon knelt, letting Aldred and friends ride on it.
The others were shocked to see such a majestic creature. Never had they seen something like it before.
“Teethless, bring us back to Hajduvar.”
“Yes, master.” Teethless soared into the sky, and then dozens of flames shot out from his wing like a jet engine.
They were faster than the train, and so, in mere minutes, Aldred arrived at the familiar glass dome. Teethless landed a few hundred meters away from the city, and Aldred hopped off him.
He then summoned the Snow Wolves, and rode it like a horse. The wolves were smaller than a Bajaragon so the guards were not alerted or felt threatened by their presence.
Seconds later, they arrived at the entrance.
