Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System Chapter 213: What Did You Do?

"Aunt, I think you are overthinking this. Nothing has changed.

What matters is to go to that dungeon and rescue everyone. And honestly, this is not weird at all, just read history.

Even before all this dungeon break, countries had war with other countries; the strong exploited the weak, taking over their resources and then making them live in poor conditions.

Don't get wrong, this doesn't an I agree with this, but humans as a species have always been like this."

Quartz sighed. "You are right." She also had heard about many world wars happening in the past, but words were just words.

Compared to the reality she faced every day on the frontline, where people now united together to fight against monsters, it was clear which way skewed her mindset more.

"Racism, religion, and many other things, we have done atrocious stuff to our own species.

It's really nothing new, Aunt. Even now, in our situation, did you forget about the dark hunters?"

Hearing what they said made Alex rember about Hellgate.

"Emily, do you still have so files on any case related to Hellgate?"

"Yes, I do, but with your current clearance now, I am sure you can get more detail from the association."

"Just send what you have first. I am still thinking about whether I should confront that old prick and ask the truth or not."

"Old prick?" Emily asked.

"Who else, the association president."

"You shouldn't talk about him like that, Alex. It won't do good with our Guild if soone hears about this." Quartz reminded him.

"We are in a dungeon, Aunt Quartz, no need to be so uptight. But honestly, if you guys ever need to deal with him, you will understand what I said. I pity his secretary who needs to face his antics every day."

"King, I think we can go out from this spot," Patricia sent a ssage to Alex, as she scouted far ahead of them.

Alex did this just in case they t with so weird creature like the parasite.

From the city ruins, they entered through a tunnel system. Following the directions, it didn't take long for them to co back out to the labyrinth.

"Finally, fresh air," Quartz said as she took a deep breath.

The others, anwhile, looked around the area with frowns.

"It beca a desert," Zold mumbled.

The Valley disappeared from sight; the area around them was now all sand.

"Don't worry, this works to our advantage. We can only see sand because the labyrinth is at a lower elevation.

As long as we go to the edge, we should be able to see the whole labyrinth. Now the problem is finding the monster Emily wants."

"As long as that place is not swept under this sand, then we should be able to see it easily. Just look for a landmark that looks like an arena. You will not miss it."

Even though the dungeon always changes the area, a few landmarks always stay the sa, for example, the oasis and the place of the final boss.

"I hope that crazy creature doesn't co at us again," Alex mumbled.

"Don't jinx it, brother," Emily said.

A thought then ca to Alex, he forgot to ask about this creature to Aimu, but there was still Alice with him now.

Inside this Awe cube, there was a modern house with all its appliances and facilities.

William was now busy training in the fitness room, as Alice was relaxing inside a jacuzzi.

"Alice, are you busy?" Alex's voice reverberated in her mind.

Hearing this, Alice quickly frowned. "You pervert! Are you peeking at now?"

"I swear I am not peeking; this place just has a feature for to communicate with you."

"And you think I believe that?" Alice asked while blaming herself in her mind. 'I should have known better. I forgot he could see everything that happened inside this place!'

After the event, Alice got an earful from Freya making her feel stressed. In Freya's words, "Since you think you can do better than , starting today I resign as the queen. You will be responsible for our people."

All the responsibility then fell on Alice's shoulders as her mother took the back seat.

Realistically she should have stayed and started doing her job, but she felt obligated to fulfill her promise to Alex, at the sa ti she also wanted to see the outside world.

But deep in her heart, she knew the real reason she just wanted to take a breather away from all this.

Alice had thought of many possibilities with what she was doing, from being labeled a traitor, put into prison, or worse, executed.

Never in her wildest mind did she think she would instead beco responsible for everything.

In her stressed situation, seeing the warm water in the bathtub, she didn't even think twice about taking a dip.

It quickly relaxed her mind, making her almost fall asleep.

"Forget it, think what you want. I just want to ask you about so monsters on your planet. But if you mind, you don't need to answer," Alex replied with an annoyed tone.

Alice paused for a mont, then replied, "Just send the image."

A projection appeared in front of her eyes, showing the desert Loch Ness Alex fought before.

Alice's eyes widened seeing the monster; she not only knew about it, but she was very familiar with it.

"He is the Naidon, or as so often call the Aether dragon. They are able to produce Aetheris Essence.

A multi-purpose liquid that is the main reason we can be self-sufficient staying locked in that realm.

Why do you ask about it anyway?"

"I t with one, and it seems the Naidon hates with a passion."

"What did you do?" Alice quickly asked as she knew Naidon was a peaceful creature that never attacked first.

It's one of the reasons they are hunted to near extinction. Even if soone made a trap right beside them, the Naidon would just ignore it.
