Chapter 10: Saving The Rabbit And The Pallum

"WHA- What are you doing here!? Miquella!"

"Hmm, to save you of course. Why else?" Miquella questioned Bell playfully.

'Hmm, He's the girl from the other day.' Lili thought.

"Well, questions can be asked later, we have a situation to deal with." He said before turning to the swarm of ants before them.

"Yes, Thank you, Miquella." He said and then got in a stance with his knife in a reverse grip while Miquella set up his golden spear right next to himself.

Then, the battle started.

The ants that approached Bell charged at him but were defeated by Bell's magic.

The second wave was dispatched by Miquella and his spear. As it spun in a vertical way and beheaded every ant that dared to shorten the distance.

Of course, there were too many ants for the spear to handle alone and some managed to break thru the spear's onslaught and charged at bell.

Bell then casted his now, signature spell.

"FIREBOLT"

Killing some of the ants before approaching them for a melee.

When he was in range, he jumped forward and thrusted his dagger in the head of an ant.

"MISTER BELL, WATCH OUT!!" Lili shouted.

Bell quickly removed the dagger and then held it in a normal grip. He made a left spin and stabbed another ant that was approaching his side, again stabbing it in his forehead.

After this sequence, he jumped backwards to look at the situation.

He saw a few ants trying to come using the wall, but ultimately failed because of miquella and his rings.

"GUYS, I'm running out of mind!! We gotta hurry!!" Miquella yelled.

'No time to stare BEll!! It's time to be a 'Hero'' Bell thought before charging at the group once again.

The duo fought some more. And there were some close calls for Bell a few times as there were just too many to deal with and some sneaked in using the flanks amidst the chaos.

"Damnit, there seems to be no end to this." Miquella said.

"FIREBOLT" Bell shouted.

"Yeah, they keep increasing. How much mind do you have left?" Bell asked.

"Not much, we need to end this quickly." Miquella proposed. And Bell nodded. While Lili just stared at the duo, dazed at the power they showed.

"Wait a minute, I'm gonna try something." Miquella said before placing his spear before him.

'The spear is made of magic, my magic. So with my skill, I will be able to not only control but also alter it.' He thought before swiping his index finger with his left hand, giving the spear a slight tint of red. Then he tapped the spear with his right hand and the spear started to transform.

"Bell, after this... I'm going mind down. So take care of my body please." Miquella said and the next moment, the spear transformed into a vast amount of daggers.

Then, Miquella gave his command.

"Rip them apart"

The daggers stormed towards the ants, annihilating every ant it came across. And the two people who are watching this scene, stared in disbelief.

'Soo... Powerful!!" Lili thought in amazement.

'This much power... Can I have it too? No, I be stronger, I will stand by her side. But first...' Then Bell looked at Miquella, who was starting to wobble a little, but he stood his ground.

'I NEED to surpass him' Bell said with newfound determination.

After the barrage ended, and the ants were disposed off, Miquella fell to the ground and Bell quickly ran up to him.

"Now, I leave it to you. Bell." He said before falling unconscious.

.

It was night in Orario, But you could still see people going about. But most are just adventurers who are going to a bar... or the red-light district.

Not many are leaving the dungeon at this hour, but at the moment you could see 3 youths leaving from the dungeon gates.

One was a brown haired pallum girl, carrying a big backpack. And the other was a boy with ghost white hair and red eyes, making you think of him as some kind of rabbit. But what was unusual about the party was the unconscious blonde the boy was carrying.

"Come on Lili, we're almost there." Said the rabbit.

"Yes, master Bell." Said the pallum.

And finally, they arrived at the guild and went inside.

"Miss Eina!! I need your help!!" The boy screamed.

"WHAA, BELL!! What's going on." A woman screamed from somewhere behind the corner.

Then the woman came and saw Miquella's state.

"WHA- Bell!! What happened to him!!"

'Hm? Him?' Lili asked herself.

"Uhm well, so.." Then Bell explained the situation to her.

"I see, he is just 'mind down'. So no need to worry. She will wake up in an hour or two." Eina said.

"Hmm? Mind down?" Bell asked.

"Yes, mind down occurs when you used too much mind. As the consequence of that, the person will fall unconscious for a few hours." Eina then explained mind down to Bell and Lili.

'Oh! So what happened that night!! That's why it happened.' Bell thought.

"Now Bell... WHAT WERE YOU THINKING GOING TO THE 10TH FLOOR!! ARE YOU CRAZY!! YOU COULD'VE DIED!! BOTH OF YOU!!" She screamed and lectured both of them.

"I'm soo sorry Miss Eina, I didn't know you were so worried. I will never do it again... And sorry that I lost that protecter you gave me." Bell said with a downcast look, not daring to look Eina in the eye

"..." Eina looked at Bell but ultimately sighed in resignation.

"Alright, it doesn't matter. As long as you are safe. At any rate, what's next?" She asked.

"Well..." He trailed off at the end of his sentence and then looked at Miquella.

"We gotta take him home."

"Oh, yeah. I'll give you his address."

"Alright, thank you. Miss Eina." And with a note, written with a particular address. Bell left with miquella on his back.

'too bad Lili can't come. But it is late so I don't mind.' He thought

.

'WHA- This is 'the' twilight manor right? Am I at the wrong place?' Bell thought before the gate opened and a certain duo were bickering with each other while walking out.

"AND WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO!! SEARCH THE WHOLE OF ORARIO FOR YOUR LITTLE CAPTAIN!!" The red head yelled.

"AND WHAT IF I AM!! JUST STAY INSIDE AND DON'T MEDDLE IN MY BUSINESS, YOU OFF-BRAND WASHINGMACHINE!!" The one with the eye-patch yelled back.

"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS YOU EPISTEMOPHILE!!" The other retorted back "And he's probably long dead in the dungeon, if he hasn't returned at this hour"

"... I need visual confirmation to believe what you just said. Otherwise, there is still a chance that he lives."

"Uhm... hi." Bell said to the two as they were now in front of him.

Then the two divine beings looked forward to see a white haired boy carrying a blonde figure.

"Miquella!!" Odin said before picking him off of Bell. And afterwards checking his condition

"How is he?" Loki asked

"He's just mind down." Odin said before turning to Bell.

"Thank you, boy. May I know your name?"

"Oh, it's Bell. Bell Cranel." He introduced himself.

'Oh, So this is Zeus's boy. And he is already acquainted with Miquella. Interesting.'

"Well, Bell. Can I ask you for one more favour?" Odin asked. To which Bell replied.

"Uh, yes of course."

"Can you go to the Hostess of fertility and say Miquella won't be coming this evening for work. It's also better to explain to them what happened."

"Uh, alright. But don't you need to know as well?" He questioned.

"We will ask Miquella when he waked up." Thank you again for bringing him here.

"Yes of course. Goodbye now." And with a final wave of goodbye, he left.

"... Seems he's not dead." Loki commented.

"Loki, sometimes you just got to keep your mouth shut." Odin said after picking up Miquella and going inside.

.

Miquella woke up the next morning feeling quite refreshed.

After stretching a little did she notice that he wasn't alone in the room but Odin and Loki too.

"So Miquella, tell us what happened." Odin asked in a serious tone.

"Uh, alright. so..." Then Miquella explained the whole situation to them.

"So, you went to the eighth floor and battled and killed a monster swarm?" Odin asked.

"Yeah, pretty much."

"... Odin, update his falna." Loki demanded.

"Miquella, turn around right this instant. And take off your shirt" Odin said while grabbing a knife.

"Euh, alright." Miquella was confused but still abided to the god's request.

"..."

Silence ensued in the room as both Odin and Loki were too shocked by these results.

"H-hey Odin... I'm not seeing things right am I?" Loki asked.

"..." Odin just kept his mouth shut and stared at the Falna.

After a while he came back to his senses and closed the Falna, picked up a piece of paper and gave it to Miquella.

"Here. Miquella I got to say. Your growth is outstanding." Odin said straight up.

"Yeah!! Not even Ais had such a growth. It's incredible!! Wanna join my familia?" Loki asked.

"SHUT UP YOU CLOWN!!" Odin shouted before kicking Loki out of the room.

"HEY, YOU CAN'T KICK ME OUT!! I OWN THIS BUILDING!!"

Miquella didn't hear them as he was too focused on his status sheet.

And after a while, Loki came back in the room. Albeit this time with a black eye.

"So, Miquella. Mind showing us your new magic?" Odin said with slight excitement in his eye.

"Oh sure, {Come forth, Basquias}" Miquella chanted before a spear appeared above him.

It was a normal sized spear with gold and red as its main colours, and the colours were constantly moving, giving the impression that the spear was alive. The handle was pretty normal and only the colours thriving in it giving it a menacing look.

The tip however was different, It has a half circle and then a blade attached to it. And the whole thing has a decorations that depict a tree of some sort.

[a/n image here]

'hmm, a tree, maybe it's my connection to the haligtree?' Miquella asked himself.

"Wow, what a beautiful spear... Try the other forms!!" Loki said excited. But Miquella just turned to Odin.

"Do as the idiot says. Try it."

Miquella nodded and said.

"{Basquias, modify light}"

Then the spear turned golden and all the red tints on in the spear disappeared. Now it gave the feeling that it is a divine object, and can purify all.

"Interesting, try the blood one now." Odin said. And Miquella obeyed.

"{Basquias, modify blood}"

Then the next moment, all the light disappeared and crimson-red took its place. This time it gave a sinister feeling.

"Alright, Can you transform it back to its usual form?" Odin asked with a slight twinkle in his eyes, clearly excited to know this magic.

"{Come forth, Basquias}"

Then the spear turned back to its usual form.

"Yes, alright. I understand." Odin said after pondering for a moment.

"You have quite an interesting magic Miquella." Odin praised Miquella a bit.

"Thank you, Odin. But now the final form."

"AH yes, Let's see it." Odin said in excitement.

'These two magic freaks.' Loki thought while sitting on the couch, watching the duo test the different kinds of magics.

'But, I wouldn't make an enemy of him. His growth is great, and his power is greater... But we won't have a problem as he's in my brothers familia, yay. Lucky he's not in Freya's. Haha'

"{Basquias, increase}"

Then the spear spun at a rapid rate until suddenly it broke, but what took his place were a huge amount of daggers hovering in the air.

The daggers were slim with a cross-guard and a pointy blade that is used for stabbing. They had a mixture of the colour gold and red. And like the spear were also moving.

[a/n Image here]

"Interesting, they also have a mixture of colours, maybe you can modify its elements as well?" Odin muttered.

"Can you try Miquella?"

"Of course. {Basquias, modify light}"

And the next moment, all the daggers turned into a light colour. Eliminating all red in its body.

"Yes, very intriguing. You can unsummon it now Miquella." Odin said and Miquella just waved his hand and all the blades disappeared.

"Miquella, it's an interesting magic. And it seems there are more forms to unlock. As we see in the description." Odin explained

"Now I don't know if you need imagination, stats, levels or certain requirements to unlock them. Or maybe all of the above. So just focus on improving yourself. There are too many factors to keep in mind.

If you focus on yourself, the rest will come on its own."

Miquella listened to the advice of Odin as he now truly respected Odin for his insight in magic.

"Alright I will keep this in mind."

"Oh, finally done. You freaks." Loki came into the conversation.

"Yes, we're done. Now Miquella, do you want a day of or go back into the dungeon?" Odin asked.

"I'm not particularly tired so I guess I will go." Miquella replied.

'I want to ask about Bell Cranel and his relation to him, but not with this red desk in the room.' Odin thought.

"Very well, just be careful for mind down. If you start feeling the symptoms, come straight up alright?"

"Got it. Have a nice day, Odin and Loki." Miquella said before heading out.

"Ah, don't forget to eat breakfast!!" Loki shouted.

"Oh yeah, I forgot. Thank you!" Then Miquella left for real.
