Chapter 259 Looking for a way out

Damian did not know if that was the Lich\'s true appearance, or if it was an illusion. He had to ask…

"Are you truly like this or are you fooling me?" Damian said.

She chuckled with it, "Don\'t tell me you think a Lich is a pile of bones? Some are, but it\'s more like a title."

"Title?"

"Correct. The reason some are skeletons is that they give everything to the necromancy arts, even their looks, all for power. I didn\'t do that, and still got recognized as a Lich. Aren\'t I impressive?"

The knowledge about those types of \'creatures\' was something Damian lacked. They were often found in deeper parts of the dungeon, parts he had yet to explore. The knowledge humankind had was little.

"You are indeed. Now, I am a leader of an organization…"

Damian explained to her some things about Dawn. He wouldn\'t tell her his secrets, like the System, his bloodline, Hymot or the fact he ended up on the last floor of the dungeon by accident, but he told her basic stuff.

The reason behind that was to see if she will enter Dawn. But Damian was almost certainly the other members wouldn\'t do that well with a person related to the dark arts of necromancy as their comrade.

Was there a way to make it easier for them to accept it?

"This sounds like fun. I am Morgana. You?"

"Damian. Are you willing to enter or do you gave greater plans?"

Morgana stopped for a moment. "Not at all. Look, despite being a necromancy, a Lich, I am not an evil person. I just wish to explore this vast dungeon and find the secrets behind it."

"But aren\'t you, like, really old? You should know some things, right?"

"Didn\'t you see I was trapped? I ended up here when I was nineteen, and had been here ever since."

"My bad, my bad. Look, can you tell me what floor of the dungeon this is?" Damian asked.

The last few days had been a mess for him. He tried to enter the fourth level of the Skyfall Tower, and ended up on the last dungeon floor the humans explored, on an island home of giants!

Then, he escaped, but ended up trapped in another dungeon level, a desert with a dome surrounding it, so Damian could not find a way out.

"This is the 38th floor. But I can\'t destroy the dome… There\'s a toxic fog outside, and no one can survive it. Only if you are truly powerful."

"Really? Fuck!"

"But there\'s a strange portal here that appeared long ago back in my time. It doesn\'t lead to another dungeon level, it seems, but it leads somewhere."

Leads somewhere! That was a good clue for Damian. Maybe that was the portal that led back to the Skyfall Tower? It had to be, especially considering Morgana said it appeared long ago. It was too much of a coincidence.

"Can you show me? But can we pass through it without dying?"

"I can show you, yes. But passing through is a different story… When we tried back in the day, it was like there was a barrier blocking us."

Damian unconsciously stared at his hand, seeing the ring he got after entering the Skyfall Tower.

"Show me the way."

They left the underground city, heading back to the same entrance Damian took a while ago. He even saw the remains of his campsite. With him and Morgana, none of the beasts tried to attack them.

"Do you know how to use one of these?" Damian asked as he pointed at his camel.

"N-No idea."

Damian grabbed Morgana by her thin waist, feeling the heat of her body. Then, he placed her on the camel, and jumped to stay behind her. He enveloped his arms on her, reaching out for the leather strips used to guide the camel.

"Don\'t worry, I do."

"Y-Yes, I can see that. I\'ll let you do this once, alright? That\'s only because we need to get out of here. But touching me equals death."

They traversed through the desert, following Morgan\'s instructions. Because she had been down there for such a long time, the overall layout of the desert had changed. It was harder for her to find where the portal was.

Billy, the mushroom, walked toward Damian\'s ears and whispered, "Is she your new girlfriend now?"

"Girlfriend? How do you know there\'s a term like that?"

"I read someone else\'s mind. I never had a girlfriend… A gorgeous walking mushroom would be my dream come true."

Damian had an urge to chuckle, but then he saw Billy\'s sad face. With resolute determination, he said, "I\'ll help you get a girlfriend. The prettiest mushroom girl there is!"

"Really? Ah, you\'re so cool!"

Morgana heard their conversation and did not know how to react. Did they think she was not listening? Especially the part about her being Damian\'s girlfriend.

"A boyfriend wouldn\'t be that bad… No, what are you thinking?" Morgana thought to herself.

They kept looking for the portal\'s location, and after an entire day of traveling, they found it. It was like the portals Damian saw inside the Skyfall Tower! A blueish portal with a pitch black background. It was impossible to see what was on the other side.

But before trying to pass through the portal, Damian looked for a city nearby. He found one which wasn\'t big, but good enough. Then, he gave the camel to the person in charge of taking care of them. Damian wouldn\'t abandon his camel before leaving.

They headed back to where the portal was, staring at it from afar.

"Let\'s try to use it," Damian said.

With slow steps, they walked toward it.
