Secret Boss Fight Aftermath (Part I)

Serena, who heard Olivia's words, felt something was wrong with them. "No matter what he does, he always does something easily. Despite all his concerns, he always gets the job done." Olivia talked more in detail about what she thought.

"Sometimes, I think I'm unworthy to stand by his side." Serena finally understood what was wrong with her speech earlier. The success of Charlie is making Olivia doubt her own value.

Hearing this, Serena also felt it as well after the fight with the serpent. She didn't understand this at first. All her life, she was at the top of everything.

Fighting with the serpent made her see her weakness. Unlike Charlie, who could grow at an incredible rate, Serena felt she was growing too slowly. The anger from her worthlessness back then was proof of that.

"Charlie's talent is unimaginable. We won't be able to help him with his enemies in the future. The most we could do is support him." Olivia continued with her depravity, Serena listening to her wanting to make her shut up.

Serena, someone who was prideful, wouldn't want to be looked down upon. Hearing Olivia's words hit her hard. Deep down, she knew it was true. She wished there was some way she could help.

She sighed, in frustration, unable to find an answer to it. She couldn't help much compared to Olivia. That could make him stronger. Earlier in the fight, without Olivia, Charlie wouldn't be able to fight the serpent.

While Olivia was spouting all these depraving words, Serena knew that Olivia would always be helpful despite saying all these.

On the other hand, Olivia thought that, unlike her, Serena could assist Charlie with any magic she could come up with.

With everything said and done, the both of them were silent. Both Serena and Olivia thought about what they said earlier. They could only be depressed by their own situation.

"If that is the case, I will do my best to support Charlie!" Olivia, who was hit by her uselessness, was determined. She knew that thinking like that would only make the situation worse than it was. Only by doing what she could do at best would she be happy with it.

Serena, unlike Olivia, couldn't have the same conclusion as Serena. Unlike Olivia, Serena wanted more than to just be his support. She wanted to be equal to Charlie but knew she couldn't.

Charlie's POV

Waking up, I was tired, my body was weakened, and my mana was at an all-time low. What had happened for it to happen? I couldn't remember what had happened before. No, wait, I remembered everything. Fighting the serpent had cost me all of my mana. Using everything I had, I killed it.

While I was tired, I felt a comfortable feeling in my head. Seeing that Olivia was giving me a pillowed lap, I stayed lying there, not wanting to move.

Olivia looked at me and gave me a calm smile that seemed like something had been lifted from her shoulder. "Did you have a good rest?" She asked to check on the condition of my body.

"I'm still tired from my fight against the serpent. My body still hasn't recovered enough for me to move, and my mana is fully drained." I tiredly said as I explained to her the condition of my body.

"Where is Serena?" I wondered where she went. I haven't seen her yet.

"She is doing some thinking near the lake." Olivia looked in her direction, telling me where she had gone.

Rolling my head in Olivia's lap, I could see Serena staring at the lake, thinking deeply about something. She looked unsure of what to do.

"Should we leave her like that?" I was wondering if we could help her with her issue. Olivia, hearing this, shook her head.

"I don't think this is something we should intervene in."

"Do you know what Serena's problem is?" I asked Olivia. She nodded her head but said nothing. Seeing that asking won't work, I would ask Serena later.

"Should we leave? With my current state, it would be dangerous if some other monster attacked us right now." I told my concerns to Olivia.

"Then let's leave, Serena! Charlie is awake. Let's leave!" Olivia shouted at Serena, prompting her to leave. Serena wasn't listening or was too out of it to hear what Olivia was saying.

"Did we get anything from the boss?" I would be mad if all we got was jack shit if I had to kill that stupidly fast boss.

"We got a pair of earrings. It was the prettiest one I had ever seen." She spoke with vigor, saying it like it was the best thing she had ever seen.

"Could you support me? I don't think I can walk properly in my condition." I wasn't expecting Olivia to lift me in a princess carry style. The people in this world are much stronger physically than in my old world. Lifting me wasn't much of a problem for her.

I wasn't someone too prideful, so the way she carried me wasn't much of a bother. In fact, I prefer her carrying me over walking in my situation.

Olivia, who was carrying me, went to Serena. "Serena!" Olivia shouted next to her. Being shouted at, Serena jumped and looked at us. She looked grumpy and wasn't too pleased by how Olivia woke her up from her thoughts. Serena then looked at me and was unable to say a thing.

"It's time to leave." Olivia reminded Serena that we were in a dungeon and walked to the next floor.

With the serpent dead, a door appeared, and a save crystal appeared. With the three of us touching the save crystal, our progress had been saved.

There were many ways to leave the dungeon, one was to buy a dungeon exit for your party, and another was to defeat the boss and use the save crystal to leave.

Having the save crystal here, we exited the dungeon and teleported out to the dungeon exit teleporter.
