17. - Revelations and Farewells
The intention and enthusiasm to go goblins hunting were printed on Sebastian's face, but just as he was about to drag Aurora towards the dungeon entrance, a reality check hit him, and a question came to his mind... 'How strong is Aurora?'
Upon closer inspection, she only seemed like a 10-year-old girl, even malnourished. Who knows if she could withstand fighting goblins? After all, Aurora has a cowardly nature.
"System, do you have any way to let me see Aurora's stats?" Sebastian turned to his most reliable ally, the system.
[To obtain Mistress Aurora's statistics, you first need her authorization.]
Sebastian wasn't offended by what was said since they had just met. Determined to bring her along for the fight, he turned to Aurora and said, "Aurora, could you ask the system to let me see your statistics?"
Although Aurora didn't know what statistics were, she decided to comply with Sebastian. "System, please show my statistics."
As soon as Aurora's words left her mouth, the screen changed and displayed the following:
[- Species: Cosmic Devourress
Class: Celestia Drakonis (Sealed)
Subclass: Dungeon Master
Level: 1
Health: 400
Mana: 350
AGL (Agility): 40
VIT (Vitality): 50
INT (Intelligence): 50
STA (Stamina): 40
STR (Strength): 50
DEF (Defense): 40
Status: Amnesia ]
"Damn it!" Sebastian cursed out loud upon seeing Aurora's statistics. "And here I was thinking you were a defenseless little girl, turns out you're some kind of mini-boss. How is it possible that at level 1, you're even stronger than the golems I fought? You might even be stronger than me."
Not convinced by the situation and deeply frustrated, he ordered the system, "System, please show my statistics."
[- Species: Human
Class: Botanist
Subclass: Dungeon Administrator
Level: 4
Health: 300
Mana: 200
AGL (Agility): 20
VIT (Vitality): 30
INT (Intelligence): 20
STA (Stamina): 20
STR (Strength): 30
DEF (Defense): 30
Status: Healthy ]
Upon seeing his statistics, Sebastian's face turned slightly red with frustration, embarrassment, and a hint of annoyance. After all, who would be happy about a 10-year-old girl being stronger than oneself?
"And here I was worried about you, turns out you're a monster in the guise of a little girl."
Aurora was pleased and somewhat satisfied by the indirect flattery, although Sebastian's tone sounded more like a complaint. "Of course, that's because I'm a Great Demon King. I don't know what it means to be one, but it sounds powerful, and that's enough," exclaimed Aurora with a self-satisfied expression.
Sighing from exhaustion, Sebastian decided to let the matter go. Making a decision, he gazed determinedly at his deceased companions. After all, they were in the same room where the battle took place. He slowly approached Roland's corpse and took his sword, searching through the belongings of the others and finding 60 Argentium coins and Roland's appraisal stone. They didn't have any potions with them since they had used them along the way. Casting one last sorrowful glance at his former three companions, Sebastian decided to give them a proper burial. So, he tied a rope to the corpses of his three companions and began dragging them towards the entrance of the dungeon. Aurora was also following him.
Originally, she offered to help, but Sebastian told her he wanted to take care of their burial alone. Aurora had a somewhat worried and slightly sad expression, after all, the reason Sebastian killed his own companions was to save her.
