Grand Lust Sovereign-Chapter 79: Clearing Floors (4)
The whale-like monster gave chase along with the wasps.
The passage was getting bigger, and Julien could see many treasure chests lying around.
His heart ached as he passed by them and wasn’t able to open any.
As minutes passed, he saw more chests around, and heard distant sounds of monsters.
There was only one way forward, no left or right.
Julien could only hug the crystal under his armpits tighter and clutch his sword with the other hand, preparing himself for a fight.
…..
[Ding!]
[Hobgoblin killed. +35 XP]
"It really is a paradise for newbies. We can level up so much." Jackie said as she killed another goblin and gained experience points.
"Not so much for me." Amelia shook her head. She wasn’t the type to kill unless absolutely necessary.
The monsters here weren’t threatening her, and the ones that were, Jackie took care of them.
She did not gain experience points and leveled up, but she did sharpen her navigation and healing skills.
Her range to feel her surroundings had increased and this was good news.
"I wonder where Master is..." Jackie said as she killed another hobgoblin.
[The constellation ’Light of Primordial One’ is watching their incarnation.]
"I pray we will reunite soon…" Amelia clasped her hands and said.
[The constellation ’Demonic Inquisitor’ has grabbed a tub of popcorn and is watching their incarnation.]
[The constellation ’Sovereign of Shadows’ is watching.]
[The constellation ’Rebel Sage of Heaven’ is watching.]
[The constellation ’Eternal Flame of the Sky’ is watching.]
The appearance of so many constellations baffled Jackie and Amelia.
They stopped for a moment to think about it, but could soon hear a distant sound of something approaching.
As seconds passed, the sound grew louder, and from the narrow passage in front, they could hear screams of monsters.
Jackie and Amelia both frowned.
Without having to converse, they both began running and entered a secret room on the side of the passage they had found earlier.
Jackie kept the door slightly open and looked outside.
She soon saw a blurry figure running towards them, and continuing to stare, found the person to be somewhat familiar.
As a few more seconds passed, Jackie widened her eyes in shock as she saw the person running, and right beside her, Amelia had her mouth agape too.
"Master!" The two said in unison.
Julien ran past the two while holding a red crystal and sword in his hand. Behind him were hobgoblins, a whale-like lizard, and many wasps.
In the direction he was running, it seemed to be the dwelling of hobgoblins.
The problem wasn’t the hobgoblins present there. Jackie had already killed them all and cleared it.
The problem lay in the fact that it was a dead end!
Julien would not be able to escape if he kept running in that direction!
"Master is in trouble!" Jackie said and dashed out of the room, running behind the monsters.
Amelia joined her and the two were now on a rescue mission to save their Master.
…..
Julien did not know how long he had been running for. He kept running like a madman and did not have the energy in him to run further.
He was running low on stamina already when he found himself at a dead end.
’No shit…’
He wasn’t even fazed by the revelation.
He knew this would happen sooner or later.
Julien put the red crystal down and turned to face the swarm of monsters.
He gripped his sword tighter and took an attacking stance.
As the first batch of hobgoblins made creaking noises, he dashed at them and slashed their necks.
One swift strike led to one hobgoblin down.
The whale-like creature rushed towards the red crystal instead of Julien. It was in a crazed state and could only see the crystal.
Some wasps went after it and some wasps attacked Julien.
Fighting one wasn’t a problem, but there were tens of wasps with sharp stingers buzzing near him.
He blocked the stingers of a few wasps, but in the end, got his shoulder pierced by one.
As he slowed down, another wasp pierced his back with its sharp stinger, and Julien’s eyes rolled back as he fell on the ground with a loud thud.
"Master!!!!" Jackie screamed from the back and swiftly striked one wasp after another, getting close to Julien.
Amelia had her hands clasped and was chanting a prayer.
The prayer resulted in an bright array of light engulfing the monsters near Julien, burning them to a crisp.
She quickly made her way towards Julien and held him in her arms.
"Jackie, kill that monster before it kills us!" Amelia held Julien’s body and dragged him away after giving instructions to Jackie.
Jackie’s eyes were bloodshot, and having leveled up quite a lot, she shot towards the whale-like monster and struck its eyes, then began slashing into its wide body.
Held by Amelia, Julien only saw a blur before darkness flooded his vision.
The last thing he heard was Jackie’s shout.
Holding him in her embrace, Amelia checked for his pulse and signs of breathing.
He wasn’t breathing.
There was no pulse.
Amelia bit her lips in pain.
She continued to check up on Julien, hoping for something, but it was all to no avail.
Jackie on the other hand did her best to kill the monsters.
The whale-like lizard was cut into multiple pieces while the wasps were slashed in half one by one.
No matter how many of them attacked Jackie at once or at what speed, she was ready for them all.
She had no trouble going against them, and in no time, she had cleared the entire swarm of monsters.
After defeating them, Jackie quickly made her way towards Amelia and asked, "What’s Master’s condition?"
Amelia didn’t answer and just stared at Jackie with a rueful expression.
"What’s with that face?" Jackie frowned. "What is Master’s condition? Why aren’t you answering?"
Dread took over Jackie’s heart.

"Jackie…" Amelia said, in a low voice.
She turned to look at Julien and hugging him tighter, said, "Master…"
Jackie felt her chest tighten and her legs shiver. "N-no…"
"…master is dead."
