The Power of a Fart and Looting

Kyron looked at the backpack in his hands, thinking it must be a sample.

But he was mistaken, this was no mere sample backpack.

[Blue Princess's Small Bag (Excellent): The Blue Princess's personal small money pouch. Its space is three times larger than it appears, reducing the weight of stored items by 40%. Note: A lady's bag, emphasizing lightness and flexibility.]

While naturally a top-tier item currently, Kyron was stunned by the backpack's name...The Blue Princess's bag?

...So this room actually belonged to the Blue Princess, not a servant's quarters?

If this side hall was the princess's chamber, did that mean this entire row of dozens of rooms were all princesses' chambers?

And what lay inside the large chambers behind the main halls? What kind of monster resided there?

This was beyond Kyron's archaeological knowledge.

After all, this was his first time on a divine tomb excavation...

...

No wonder only this room's door was open - the Blue Princess lived right here!

With gains for both of them, they searched the room again but found nothing else.

The Blue Princess's bag was a double-strap hiking style backpack. Kyron slung it on his back and stuffed all the bulky energy stones from his pockets inside, immediately feeling much lighter. What a great treasure.

Just the blue-with-pink color was a bit too feminine...

He'd endure it!

"Let's go, this is the Blue Princess's room. If she finds out we stole her stuff, I bet she'll go berserk," Kyron chuckled.

"Ah, this is the Blue Princess's chamber?" Alysia seemed surprised and a bit disappointed.

A princess's room like this?

The two left and circled around behind the palace but found no other unlocked rooms.

Could the Blue Princess be the only one left in the entire palace?

Distant screams indicated someone had fallen from the platform, clearly an intense battle raging there.

Yet the two idly toured the palace for over an hour while others fought the Blue Princess to the death.

"The Blue Princess is really formidable to still be fighting after so long," Kyron sighed.

"Let's go back and see. We still need to find a way to complete this mission!" Alysia gripped her longbow as she looked at Kyron.

Not much time remained.

After circling back to the base of the celestial staircase, the Blue Princess was nowhere in sight above.

Over a dozen corpses littered the ground - humans, skeletons, explorers who had entered the instance dressed differently, all dead in gruesome states.

The male corpse closest to Kyron had his head caved in to a pulp, blood and brain matter mingling in a gory red-and-white mess.

Others were riddled with holes, drained of blood, shattered skeletons scattered everywhere.

"Huh?"

"Is someone still alive?"

Amidst the corpse pile, someone was struggling to crawl out.

Kyron dragged the middle-aged man over, his bloodied face gasping heavily as Kyron helped prop him against the wall.

"Thanks!" Blood filled his mouth, having lost teeth, gratitude garbled.

"What happened? Why are so many dead?" Kyron saw no other survivors or the Blue Princess, finding it odd.

"...We...charged up and fought that blue monster. She's too powerful, barely kept up despite our numbers. A few formidable skeletons and humans almost overwhelmed her defenses. Just as she seemed disadvantaged, she suddenly...farted..." The man looked embarrassed.

"...So you were all blown off by her fart?" Kyron was astonished.

"Her fart was green and reeking, with gale-force winds of at least a Category 12 hurricane. Over three-quarters on the high platform got blown away by that one fart."

"May I ask what you do?"

"I'm a meteorological engineer!"

"A pleasure to meet you!" Kyron respectfully nodded, "Then it likely was a Category 12 hurricane!"

Kyron pinched his nose, imagining the putrid gas blasting him with Category 12 winds - a chilling thought.

He remained curious, "What about the others? The Blue Princess?"

The man sighed, "The remaining few couldn't withstand it and fled. The Blue Princess is hunting them down!"

...This mission was truly unique, damn it!

Enraged roars echoed from afar as the Blue Princess bellowed, a group of cowards having fled the valley into caves.

The power of a fart had blown their minds.

Unable to leave the valley, the Blue Princess pounded her chest furiously, roaring in rage.

Kyron also wanted to flee, not wishing to face this terrifying blue monster, especially after seeing the scattered corpses.

...

"You can try, she's just bluffing. She's actually very weak now!"

The Magician's soft voice echoed in Kyron's mind, prompting him again.

Kyron's fighting spirit was rekindled.

...

After driving away the wretched skeletons and humans, the Blue Princess dragged her massive body back, each thunderous step shaking the ground.

This several-hundred-kilogram princess truly lived up to her name!

Just as she reached the base of the celestial staircase, she saw a human teenager standing before her.

It was Kyron!

His once white clothes were tattered rags, eyes swollen, mouth askew, bloody nose, one pant leg gone exposing a mangled, scratched lower leg.

Damn human!

Why show your ugly face before me?

Kyron shrugged, slightly shifting to display the backpack behind him to the Blue Princess.

"Ahhh!!!" The Blue Princess's eyes went red, "Little thief! You and I cannot coexist, die!"

She immediately recognized her own backpack on this ugly man's back.

She charged at Kyron like a madwoman!

"I want your life!"

The ground trembled with each footstep! Then suddenly a "swish" - the raging Blue Princess caught completely off guard.

A green arrow pierced straight through her chest. Looking down, a gaping hole let her see right through to the scenery behind.

Straining to turn her head, she saw a graceful elf maiden standing on the distant high platform, longbow in hand.

"You're taking advantage of me!" The Blue Princess said bitterly.

Already on her last legs, all her fury drawn by Kyron's provocation robbed her of reason to dodge the arrow, sealing her fate.

"You're an annoying human, I'll kill you!"

Blood gushing from her chest, the Blue Princess charged at Kyron with shocking speed.

Kyron was alarmed - surviving a pierced chest? What monster was this?

In his panic, he thrust out the dagger he had been gripping.

Triple stab!

Triple stab!!

Triple stab!!!

With blinding speed, Kyron stabbed nine times, opening nine new bleeding gashes as the Blue Princess's blue blood gushed forth.

Kyron ducked under, the Blue Princess crashing face-first, her rear end facing him.

Kyron turned to hear an odd farting sound.

His face paled - the dreaded Category 12 stinking fart? But he had already expended all his strength, no way to dodge.

"Pffft!"

A foul stench released.

Indeed rank and green, but not at hurricane force!

"If I had one more fart left, you'd be dead."

The Blue Princess lamented, having only the power of one fart, unable to rapidly unleash a second.

The skill cooldown was too long!

Her gaze fixed unblinkingly on the copper coffin overhead as life left her.

The Blue Princess was dead!
