Stubborn Little Fairy

"Are we in a desert right now?" said Aelena with a surprised look on her face.

"From the way it looks, it seems like it," answered Dior.

"Amazing! So this is how a real desert looks like," said an elf girl excitingly, especially since it's her first time being in a desert.

As for Prime, he was not impressed at all because back at Zxion planet, he had already visited many deserts before, so it's no longer a big deal to him. But for Aelena's party, this is actually their first time being on a desert because back at their homeland, there's no such thing as deserts over there.

"Woohoo! Take this!" said an elf man while throwing some sand at one of the elf girls playfully.

"Aah! How dare you!"

After playing for about a few seconds, Dior became annoyed and said:

"Stop it guys! We're not here to play so please focus and don't let your guard down,"

"Haha, sorry sorry my bad," said the elf man guiltily.

As for the other two elf girls, they too also apologized to Dior for their misbehavior.

"Alright, let's not waste time and get going," said Dior in a hurry.

"Yes!" responded everyone except for Aelena and Prime.

Without delay, they continue their journey again to find the next floor. After walking for about 5 hours, to their surprise, they still haven't seen any monsters yet and that made them felt like something is not right here.

"What's going on? How come we still haven't encountered any monsters yet?" said an elf man curiously.

"Yeah, surprisingly this floor is much easier than the previous floor," said an elf girl curiously too.

As they were trying to figure out what was going on, suddenly, far away from them, they heard a loud noise of people yelling in pain.

Ah!!! Aaaaaaaahh!!!!

"Did you hear that?" said Aelena.

"Yes, very clearly in fact," said Dior.

"Look! It's coming from the direction of 6 o'clock," said one of the elf girl while pointing.

That's when everyone turned their heads around and even though it's so far away, but they were still able to see a gigantic creature that is about 125 feet tall. And upon looking at it closely, they realized it was a "Scorpion King!", one of the top 5 strongest monsters in this dungeon.

A Scorpion King would be considered Rank 4 among the top 5 monsters, and they are easily 5 times stronger than a Minotaur King. Unlike Minotaur King who's known for their high strength and high defense stats, but Scorpion King is known for their deadly poison all over their body, not just their tail.

"That's! That's a Scorpion King! Damn! Who would have thought that it would appear here," said an elf man excitingly.

"Hmm, it seems like there are 4 unknown parties teaming up together to take down the Scorpion King," said Dior.

There are a lot of benefits when comes to killing a Scorpion King, because first, it tends to drop good items, at least that's what many people have reported. Second, is the Scorpion King's exoskeleton, as it can be sold at a very high price at the market, so that's why many people are dying to collect it.

Also, due to the 4 parties ganking up and fighting with the Scorpion King, have ended up aggroing a lot of monsters nearby to go at them. So as a result, Aelena's party didn't encounter any monsters along the way because the 4 parties are hording all of them.

"I see, that explains why we haven't seen any monsters along the way all this time," said Dior.

"Dior-sama, shall we go and take a look?" said one of the elf girls excitingly as she cant wait to see the Scorpion King up close.

"No, since those 4 parties are aggroing all the monsters, so we should use this opportunity to save our energy and climb to the next floor instead," said Dior.

Of course, the elf girl wasn't happy when Dior said that, but she's just a junior so she can't argue much about it.

With that being said, they continue their journey again and eventually two days later, they found the gateway to the 49th floor and entered it. Unlike the 48th floor which is a desert environment, but this floor is a tropical rain forest setting.

Every day in their travel is the same thing, killing monsters, rest in between, and then continue again. Then 4 days later, they finally arrived on the 50th floor, which is the deepest floor of this dungeon at the moment.

Although the 51st floor is actually the deepest floor, but unfortunately, not many people know about it, so many just considered the 50th floor as the deepest one.

"Haha finally, it looks like we need to climb one more floor and we will reach our destination," said an elf man as he can hardly wait any longer.

It was at this time, Dior looked at Aelena and nodded his head as if he's trying to tell her that don't forget about the Ancient Fairy Flute.

Of course, Aelena didn't forget about it and nodded her head back at Dior as if she's saying "I got it,". After that, she then took out her Ancient Fairy Flute and began playing it.

♫♫Too-too-too♫ ♫Too-too-too♫♫

Then suddenly, the flute she was blowing started to glow in blue color and not long after that, she could see a small beautiful fairy came out from the flute.

"What a beautiful fairy!" said one of the elf girls with sparkling eyes.

When Prime saw the fairy, he was astonished as well because it's his first time seeing it in real life.

'Interesting, so this is how a real fairy looks like in real life,' Prime thought to himself.

The fairy surprisingly doesn't look much of a difference as compared to an elf, except that it has wings and also smaller in size. Basically like a mini version of the elf race, but with angelic wings.

While floating mid-air, the female fairy began spinning around doing a small dance for Aelena. After the small dance is over, the fairy then looked at Aelena and bowed respectfully, and said:

"Nice to meet you, Aelena-sama,"

"Nice to meet you too, Cyrena" replied Aelena happily.

It is said that fairies are extremely rare in this world, and they also seldom show themselves to others unless it's someone from the Elf race. That is because the fairies and elves have good relations with each other, where else compared to other races not so much.

Probably because other races tend to be greedy, evil and only make use of fairies for their own benefits. In another word, they treat fairies like a pet instead of being equal, so as a result, most fairies tend to avoid them most of the time.

At first, Cyrena was acting very happy and friendly towards everyone, but the minutes she realizes that there's a human near her, that's when she freaked out, and said:

"What?! Why is there a human here?!"

Knowing that Prime is human, Cyrena immediately became extremely upset.

"Sorry Cyrena, I know that you don't like humans, but I can assure you that this human boy here is a good person," said Aelena.

"Really?! Hmph!" said Cyrena while staring at Prime angrily, as if she doesn't trust what Aelena said at all.

The reason why Cyrena hates humans so much is because in the past, one of her friends was kidnapped by them as a slave. So as a result, she never had good impressions of the human race since then.

'Haha, despite being angry, this little fairy still looks surprisingly cute,' Prime laughed inwardly.

"Hmph! I don't care, get rid of this human now or else I won't help you guys," said Cyrena stubbornly.

"Calm down, Cyrena. I know that you hate humans, but right now is not the time because the Demon race is about to start a war soon, so we need to find the Heavenly Light Sword as soon as possible before its too late," said Aelena pleadingly.

"That's right, please calm down, Cyrena. If it's not because of Prime tagging along with us all this time, then we all would've been long dead already. In fact, he even saved our lives one week ago from Rudo's party," said Dior convincingly.

"Hmph! I don't care! All humans are liars, they only help others because they think there's a benefit, but when they realize they gain nothing in return, then they will start showing their true colors," said Cyrena stubbornly again.

Cyrena didn't believe that Prime would help Aelena's party without a reason, because she knows humans are all greedy creatures and would only help if he/she thinks that there's a benefit later.

Although Cyrena doesn't know what motive does Prime has, but she doesn't care as she was convinced that all humans are evil.

Of course, Aelena and Dior didn't give up that easily and still continue to try to convince Cyrena. But after about 5 minutes later, the result was still the same and Cyrena was just too stubborn and won't change her mind at all.

That's when Prime started to get really annoyed and decided to do something about it.

"Alright, Dior and Aelena, you guys can back off and let me deal with this," said Prime confidently.

At first, Dior and Aelena wanted to say something, but seeing how confident Prime is, so they decided to trust him and leave it to him.

Just like that, Aelena and Dior stepped away and let Prime deal with Cyrena.

"Hmph! You can say whatever you want human, but no matter what, you still won't be able to convince me," said Cyrena stubbornly while crossing her arms.

'Hehe, this bitch wanna play games with me huh? Very well, don't regret later,' Prime thought to himself as he smirked.
