Because her human-shaped upper body had already turned into gray ash and dissipated, even the giant spider was rapidly turning to dust!
They did it, they succeeded!
A surge of ecstasy flooded their hearts, causing their bodies to tremble with uncontrollable excitent!
But amidst the euphoria, a question arose: Where is Fingerley?
He was right next to the Chaos Witch, but at first glance, he was nowhere to be found, for he now seed perfectly blended into the environnt.
That’s because Fingerley was almost burnt to charcoal.
He stood in place, maintaining the action of swinging his dual blades, entirely pitch black; only an outline could be discerned as human.
He was literally burned out in a physical sense.
It was unknown what kind of strength he summoned amidst the flas in those final monts to successfully deal the fatal blow to the Chaos Witch, but in terms of results, he undoubtedly succeeded.
Matilda and Aleya stood around him silently, the forr with a gaze of helplessness and admiration, the latter huddled inside the straw man, lost in thought.
"You’re great, thank you." A mix of emotions filled Luluwo as she reached out to pat Fingerley’s shoulder, or rather, patted what seed like his shoulder by its outline, as if she was genuinely paying respects to the deceased.
"Don’t, don’t pat..."
A weak voice ca from beneath Fingerley’s charred shell.
"You’re still alive!?"
The sudden voice gave Luluwo a fright, causing her to literally jump back several ters.
She really had to wonder if Fingerley was so sort of monster now; how could soone with such severe burns still be alive? Are you still human?
Though he was still alive now, the prospect of continuing to live seed bleak, after all, he was truly human, and the healing potions at hand were gone, while the magic available for Healing Magic was almost depleted.
What else could be said? Just send him to the bonfire for rebirth.
Matilda was just about to send her team leader to once again embark on the cycle with a punch, but was stopped by Fingerley’s words.
"Wait, wait, the reward..."
Even in such a frail state, he was still thinking about getting the reward before dying—that’s the mark of a true adventurer! Worthy of being a Gold-level adventurer!
With his words, the group finally began to return from the euphoria of defeating the Chaos Witch and focused on the rewards they could receive this ti.
The giant spider completely dissipated at that mont, marking the end of the entire battle.
Light points of various colors scattered from the dissipating ash, so flying into people’s hands while others fell to the ground—the distinction was that the forr was a reward for each person, while the latter could be picked up by anyone.
Seeing the rewards in hand, Fingerley finally closed his eyes in peace... No, he couldn’t rest easy, he was still thinking about picking up the light points on the ground! Such dedication to the light points was a part of an adventurer’s indomitable nature!
Only when Matilda promised to help pick up what belonged to him did Fingerley finally rest easy.
Luluwo looked at the soul floating in her hand, its flickering golden glow gilding her smile.
"It’s been a long ti since I’ve seen sothing like this."
[Soul of Krag]
[The soul of Krag, daughter of the Izalith Witch turned Chaos Demon]
[The Soul of Krag displays various forms of chaos, allowing one to gain countless souls by accepting it directly or creating unparalleled weapons with it]
The days in Scaroon felt like years for Luluwo, and in that perspective, it had been a long ti since she encountered such a rare item as the ’XX’s Soul’. After all, this was the first serious boss she had defeated.
The previous Undead Demons and Clock Guardian Stone Golems were elite monsters, offering no sense of achievent when defeated. Successfully conquering the Chaos Witch had her feeling ecstatic.
However, the information in the text was substantial, especially the Chaos Witch’s true identity being related to the Izalith Witch, and the aning of having turned into a Chaos Demon?
Did playing with sorcery lead to a loss of humanity?
The Sain Dungeon always spoke cryptically; why not offer a detailed explanation to reveal the truth?
Grumbling in her heart, she turned her attention to another item in her hand.
"Is this Humanity? Why is it in pairs?"
[Twin Humanity]
[A particularly rare twin Little Black Spirit occasionally found in the corpses of Little Black Spirits, containing double humanity]
[Though it’s called Humanity, what it actually is isn’t clear. If souls are the root of life, what does the humanity possessed only by humans an?]
Oh, great, even riddles are here now. Riddlers, get out of Sain.
Faced with such an incomprehensible description, Luluwo took one look and refused to ponder, skipping to the next item directly.
The next was a white light point, and after the light point dissipated, a finely crafted ring lay in her palm.
White light points can even yield rings?
Luluwo instantly thought of rings like the Greening Ring or the Poison Bite Ring that provide beneficial effects, thinking this must be a similar item.
"What kind of benefit does this ring offer?"
[Old Witch Ring]
[A ring given away by an old witch at an unknown ti]
[The ring is covered with writing indecipherable to humans, and wearing it seems to have no special effect]
"Huh?"
No special effect?
Are you kidding us? Could this be a souvenir for defeating the Chaos Witch?
Indeed, so had such a reaction, but as a veteran adventurer, Luluwo wouldn’t perceive it so simply. She had her own way of understanding the language of Sain.
"Seems to have no effect, which ans it definitely has a special one, just hasn’t been triggered yet!"
She imdiately stashed the ring away, convinced it would co in handy at so point.
The last item everyone had was a small box shaped like a treasure chest in their hand.
[A salute to the hero who first overca a formidable foe]
"That’s... a first-kill reward!"
Realizing the significance of the item, not only Luluwo but everyone was thrilled.
After careful inspection, they finally determined how to use it.
It allowed them to refine an additional reward when using Krag’s Soul!
"Great!"
It didn’t matter if the reward from refining Krag’s Soul was good or not; having this was like a certificate of honor!
They could show it off to everyone in the future!
"Leon and the others will be so jealous of , heh heh heh." Luluwo placed her hands on her hips in pride.
The scattered items on the ground were assorted, and everyone temporarily gathered them, planning to distribute them after exiting since there were more pressing matters at hand.
After defeating the Chaos Witch, the Fog Gate lifted and a new path appeared.
Where did this path lead?
They collected their thoughts, marching towards the path where the Chaos Witch had appeared, slowing down to wait for Fingerley and the others to return.
Neither magic nor Fighting Qi sensed any enemies on this road; there was no threat, and according to the understanding from the Skyrim Guide Team of the Sain Dungeon, typically no new monsters would appear imdiately after defeating a boss.
So they boldly ventured forward, with the underground passage filled with cobwebs, and the further in they went, the more they could feel a scorching heat wafting towards them, as if magma was boiling beneath the earth.
At the tunnel’s end, they saw a space piled high with webs and peculiar cocoons... a bell!
The second bell was right here!
"Finally found it!"
Luluwo was more excited than anyone, for she had speculated that ringing the second bell could open the way back.
So she rushed forward and lashed a chain against the giant bell!
"Dong——"
The resounding bell finally tolled.
