How to survive in the Romance Fantasy Game Chapter 79: Night of the two Moons 2



"Is this the place?" Lily asked as she and her sister scanned our surroundings, appreciating the spectacular view below us.

"Yes," I confird.

Right now, the three of us were at the very top of the academy's clocktower, known as Olympus.

The cold breeze of the empty air swept past us, making pull my cloak tighter as I watched the night sky above.

We were waiting for the two moons to perfectly align with the planet's axis, anticipating the once-in-a-lifeti event in this world the [Night of Two Moons].

In the ga, this was just a random optional sub-event to help players level up in preparation for Act 5.

But in reality, it was much more.

It was a real, proper event celebrated by the masses, considered one of the few holiday-like festivals around the world.

Even Gramps back at the farm always told to co and see it with him once the cosmic event was up.

'I'm glad I got accepted into the academy before any of that could happen, though...' I thought, shuddering at the mory.

I really don't want to sll that old man's musky chest anymore; the amount of bear hugs he gives whenever he sees is borderline torture.

As I stood there, reminiscing about the farm, Lily and Lillian continued to take in the view.

The clocktower provided a breathtaking vantage point, and the city below was bustling with life.

Although the academy wasn't technically celebrating the event due to their alignnt with the teachings of the Luminous Church, which considered the Night of Two Moons heretical as it hails from the culture of another god, people all around the world still celebrated it in a secular manner.

This was why even the academy itself couldn't exactly stop the people and the students below us from celebrating the affair.

Looking around, I strained mana into my eyes to increase my vision and confirm that Lucas or any of the other heroines weren't around in the bustling crowd below.

Considering this was a sub-event that any of them could complete as long as Lucas was around, I had to be careful not to get them involved and overcomplicate the situation in any way possible.

"Hey?" Lily suddenly called out to , breaking my concentration.

"Hm?" I replied, turning to face her.

"You said there's a dungeon that will pop up, right?" she asked. "Where and when is it going to co?"

Looking at the sky and seeing the two moons starting to align, I nodded my head. "Anyti now..."

The celestial bodies converged, casting an otherworldly glow over the city.

The air was charged with magical energy, and a subtle vibration pulsed through the ground beneath us.

The anticipation was almost tangible as we waited for the dungeon to reveal itself.

Despite the academy's official stance, the students below were engrossed in their festivities, completely unaware of the impending ergence of the dungeon.

The joyous laughter and excited chatter filled the air, blending with the distant music of street perforrs and the occasional burst of fireworks.

I glanced at Lily and Lillian, who were also scanning the surroundings with heightened senses. Their expressions were a mix of curiosity and readiness, their assassin instincts on high alert.

Finally, as if ti seed to have stopped for a mont, blue sparks resonated in the area in front of us.

Before us, a blue tallic gate erged from the ether, pulsating with an otherworldly glow. "Woah~!" Lillian couldn't help but mumble as she watched the spectacle unfold.

In the ga, the gate's entrance was rendered with its own very cool CGI effect, but watching it in real life now made it ten tis better.

It really felt like there was an otherworldly gate in front of us, and the energy it exuded was powerful enough to almost bring us to our knees.

A-rank dungeon, [Night of the Two Moons.]

'It's about ti I farm you up.'

Preventing the tugging smile on my lips from breaking out, I turned to the two bewildered twins.

"Let's go..."

"Ah, w-wait," Lillian stamred, still in awe of the gate.

Lily, more composed, nodded in agreent. "Right...."

With weapons at the ready and hearts pounding in our chests, we stepped into the portal.

The world around us blurred and shifted, and as we were pulled into the unknown, I couldn't

help but feel a mixture of excitent and trepidation.

The portal deposited us into a vast, dimly lit chamber.

The air was cool and carried the faint scent of earth and ancient magic.

Stone walls lined with intricate carvings surrounded us, and the faint sound of dripping water echoed in the distance.

The chamber seed to stretch on forever, with shadowy corridors branching off into the unknown.

"This place is massive," Lillian murmured, her eyes wide as she took in the surroundings. Even Lily, who was trying to maintain a cool façade, couldn't hide the astonishnt in her gaze. This place was just that grand-different from the goblin sewer dungeons, and probably way more different from all the dungeons I'd experienced so far. It was absolutely massive. This place had the typical look of what normal cave-like dungeons have, except it had castle- like structures placed upon it, reminiscent of a great ancient civilization that had been wiped out from history.

The place had an overall vibe of sothing mythical, not to ntion the overwhelming amount of magical energy exuding from it.

Truly, A-rank dungeons are different.

Even if all the dungeons I've experienced so far combined, there would be nothing that could compare to this level of power.

"You said to help you clean a dungeon and all... but isn't this basically a death trap?" Lily said, looking at nacingly.

Slightly smiling at her words, I raised a piece of paper in my hand. "You've already signed the

-contract."

"That... this... sothing like this wasn't part-"

"You've already taken my money."

||

"You can leave if you want to... but can I have my money back?"

"No...."

Lily sighed heavily, clearly frustrated but resigned to her fate. She exchanged a look with Lillian, who simply shrugged. The twins knew they had no choice but to continue. "Alright, fine. But if we die here, I'm haunting you," Lily muttered, her voice tinged with

irritation and resolve.

"Sure..."

She shot an even more irritated look, making an obnoxious scoffing sound before turning

to approach her sister, trying to ignore .

'I really got on her bad side, huh...'

I was hoping for a more positive relationship with these two, particularly with Lily since she was essentially the decision-maker for the sisters.

But I guess I couldn't really expect sothing so positive considering my overly suspicious approach, not to ntion our silent threats toward each other.

Well, all the hatred can be fixed once they finally have their master's dagger, so I'll just let it

be for now.

As angry and suspicious as these two might be of right now, they were still the professional assassins I'd known in the ga, so I doubted it would affect their performance

tonight.

Ignoring the two sisters for now, I made preparations for myself as well.

I had always wanted to use this skill ever since I got it, and now it was finally ti to unleash

it.

[Skill: Tempest Wolf Summon]

Raising my hands up in the air, I invoked the magical formula ingrained in my brain like imprinted information I received the mont I bonded with Raijin. The mana in my hands flowed directly through our invisible bond as I called for his na.

'Co, Raijin.'

CRACKLE!!!!

VROOOMM!!!!

Like lightning descending from the heavens, a dium-sized hole, reminiscent of a

basketball, erged in the air.

The golden sparks it exuded illuminated the area around .

Not long after, the howling sound of threatening growls resonated through the chamber as a

wolf as white as snow kneeled in front of .

It was my new contracted familiar, Raijin, making his presence known as his red eyes looked

at respectfully.

"H-Hey, what are you doing?" Lily's voice was sharp with concern.

"What is that?" Lillian added, her tone matching her sister's.

Both of them had their daggers out in the open, assuming their assassination stances, while

eyeing Raijin warily.

"Ah, don't worry. He's my familiar," I explained, trying to sound as calm as possible. "Familiar? You had one?" Lily's eyes were wide with surprise.

"Yes," I nodded, a slight smile playing on my lips. "He's here to help us."

As angry and suspicious as these two might be of , they were still the professional

assassins I'd known in the ga, so I doubted it would affect their performance tonight.

Glancing back at Raijin, I noticed a subtle change in his appearance.

"Raijin, did you get smaller?"

The mont I said those words, he shivered a bit before looking at with slightly worried

eyes. Did they not feed him well, perhaps?

The last ti I saw him, he was almost the size of a house.

Now, he was no more than a really big wolf, which was still large but significantly smaller

compared to his humongous form when we fought each other and his more contained form when I left him back at Luminous Hall.

His change was too drastic to be a coincidence.

I had heard that powerful boss monsters had the ability to control their size, so that was

probably what happened.

But the way he looked at just now-it felt like he wanted to convey sothing but

couldn't.

"Wow-he's kinda cute!" Suddenly, before I even realized it, Lillian was now beside Raijin, looking at him with sparkling eyes. "Hey, hey, can I pet him?"

"You can, but we don't have ti for that," I replied, trying to keep the urgency in my voice. Lillian pouted but reluctantly pulled her hand back. "Fine. But later, okay?"

"Later," I promised, giving her a brief smile before turning my attention back to the task at

hand.

Now with Raijin here, our chances of clearing through this dungeon were basically guaranteed, especially considering the boss monster we were about to face. Although I wanted to inform Lily and Lillian about the monsters we were going to encounter,

I decided to stay quiet for now.

Spouting random facts about this dungeon out of nowhere would ultimately shoot the

suspicion ter they had on through the roof.

Besides, I had purposely invited them to this dungeon not just for a quick level-up but to

actually increase their specs and evaluate their current level.

From what I could tell from our initial encounter back at the district square, I reckoned these

two were around the sa level as , just with higher agility stats.

But that wasn't enough for the future events up ahead. Depending on their performance, I might actually have to tell them not just the location of

[Karaka's blade] but the location of the unique item [Death Mist] as well.

A unique item only for Lillian, which has the potential of making her the strongest assassin in

the whole world right now. "Alright, let's move out," I said, taking the lead.

"Okay~" Lillian responded cheerfully, her steps light but cautious.

Lily followed in sync, their movents eerily coordinated, like two peas in a pod completely

in tune with their surroundings.

In the ga, these two had automatic combos whenever you used your ultimate's, so was this

how that connection reflected in real life?

I wondered for a mont before noticing Raijin lagging behind us.

"Raijin?"

I called out, trying to catch his attention.

Instead of imdiately listening, he looked at the twins for a couple of seconds before his red

eyes t mine again.

The way he looked seed like he wanted to tell sothing-only this ti, it felt like he

was pitying and the girls for so reason?

[Note: ......Good Luck!]

'Huh?'

-----

"Hmm- how cute~"

Deep beneath a dark cave whose expanse knew no bounds, reminiscent of an abyss, n were

running for their lives, screaming in pain.

Fires burned, lightning danced, winds swirled, and the earth turned the bloody grounds into

graveyards.

Like a tapestry of a baby's art and anger, surrounding the cave-like facility, was the flimsy

artistic touch of death looming in the air.

"Aghh!!!" "Let's get out of here!!!"

"My god! My god! Please save your chil—"

As corpses began to pile up one by one, a beautiful girl dressed in a pristine black dress

reminiscent of the night sky watched the torture she committed, crossing her legs beneath the mountain of corpses she made.

"P-please spare m—"

One of the hooded n beneath the pile begged but couldn't continue his words as his head

splattered into tiny pieces.

Crunch...! Crunch...!

Munching onto a fleshy substance where blood almost spilled from her red lips, the beautiful

lady slicked back her silvery white hair behind her ears as she smiled softly.

"Ha~ I wonder which one of the two tastes more delicious?"

She wondered aloud, her long tongue flicking out as her reptilic eyes reflected a scene far from

the happenings of her current present.
