Realm Core

"Your face looks weird now, did my potion ended up leaving a side effect on you?" She asked her worriedly, she still looks at him with her confused look which also adds some charm to her. She wants to help him but she obviously doesn't help him at all.

'Don't think about it! Don't think about it! It is rude to see a woman with that kind of line of thinking!' In his mind he tried his best to calmed his heart out, it not without any result as he was able to slowly calm down his hard beating heart.

"Sorry to make you worried, Say Lenora did your mother look like you?" Hans asked her, he had made some thought about why he left her here.

"I never see her before she died giving birth to me but my father said that I look like her so whenever I see the mirror I will always imagine seeing my mother." She said softly, her voice makes his calmed heart to start beating faster again.

"You realize that you were beautiful right? Did you know what happens to any beautiful girl in the world?" Hans seriously looks at her, he ignored her beauty this time and just stare at her.

"Thank you, I don't know much about the world. So what happened to them?" She tilted her head slightly as she asks the question.

"Man will try to win their heart but for someone at your beauty level, they would start a massacre just to win your heart. Bad people will do anything to get you too, this must be the reason why your father send you here when you are strong enough only then people will think much time before taking action on you." Hans explained his thought to her considered that her father seems to be a good guy this must be the reason why she was sent here.

"What about you? You seem to calm and unaffected though."

"I am different than other men."

"You don't like a girl." Lenora makes a surprised face and closes her mouth with her hand.

"Of course, I like a girl. I just have stronger self-control than most men in this world, please don't make any conjunction before knowing the truth." Hans shouted loudly, he becomes annoyed a little luckily she was a girl cute one at that if not he would have given an uppercut to the person who said so to him.

She opened her mouth and said, "I see, Anyway do you want to come with me? It best for you to stick together with me as there are many monsters down here and they are stronger than monster from above."Not even expressing sorry it either she does not want to bother herself to apologize or she was just an innocent girl who doesn't know that what she does is wrong.

Stronger than the one above that mean there is some Lord Tier monster among them, he will be in a terrible situation if he meets many of them at once here. Death cloud looming over his head right now and the only way for him to survive in this place is by sticking together with Lenora. Hans had made up his man and he said, "I don't think I have any choice then I will come along with you then, please take care of me." Hans gives her a light bow to show his respect, she had saved him and now she even helps him again. He feels a little upset at himself as he still needs to rely on others to survive, now he is more determined to become stronger.

"Good having a companion is fun, I was quite lonely in this place all this 20 year no one was here to accompany me. This place is dark and too silent, the only good thing here is a resource that exists in this place it was abundant enough for me to get stronger fast." She looks up toward the ceilings, sadness, and loneliness is shown on her beautiful face. Man's heart would ache as they see her current expression, all of them would do anything to put a smile on her face once more.

"Don't look so down like that but still it was amazing that you can stay alive in this kind of place, what kind of food do you eat all these years anyway?" Hans tried to change the topic of the conversation with her, letting her remember her dark time alone would only make her sadder than before.

"There are many kinds of plant grow here, follow me we will go toward the direction of Realm core. That plant is quite tasty you should try some of them, there is blood ginseng, blood potato, bloodroot that can be eaten and some other." Her eyes turn brighter instantly and started speaking about the stuff she knows about this place, Hans smiled and just listened to her word.

...

Meanwhile, Hans trio teammates were fighting their way toward the deepest part of the Realm, more and more monster swarming toward them. Not all of the monsters that come toward them are Lord Tier monster but still, there were many of them that can hold them down for a bit of time.

"Let's rest here for a bit, I found some bloodstones here let me dig them up first," Khudghumir said as he took his tool from his backpack, it was a pickaxe which he made to foldable not only that it was even an Armament.

"This is like the 23 time you were stopping to mine there is should be many of them in your bag right now, let's just focus to go deeper," Manarion speaks out, his face show annoyance but also a face of understanding to he seems to know his nature so well if he finds a precious mineral he wouldn't hesitate to mine it. He had known him for a long time after all not only that Dwarf likes to mine so it was not a surprise to see him loving mining.

Lu Bu leaning toward a wall before sending massage toward Hans telling him that, it would take some time for them to get down there but they don't know that Hans is having a good conversation with a beautiful girl down there while they need to face countless monster up here.
