Neraxis glanced at the sixth-floor ssage and raised a brow.
He had no clue why this trial had turned into a duo trial or why he had jumped straight up to the sixth floor.
However, for the ti being, he had to endure.
"Stand up, we need to get going," Neraxis said, startling Liza.
But it seed like he had done a bit more than startle her, as tears began streaming down her eyes.
"Waaah! I don't want to be eaten by a vampire!"
What bullshit is she...? Neraxis held himself back before trying to correct the misunderstanding.
"Look, I don't eat humans. I only drink their blood from ti to ti. And that's only to heal —I don't really enjoy drinking it."
[Liar,] Evangeline giggled. [You asked to turn you into a vampire just so you could enjoy my blood more.]
Neraxis shrugged. She doesn't have to know that.
"Really?" Liza looked up, hiding her face behind her knees. "You really won't eat ? But you were able to kill that thing so easily..."
"I'm strong, though I'm surprised you don't know . Which city are you from?" Neraxis asked, extending his hand to lift her up.
"Thanks." She accepted hesitantly. "City? Podri, I guess. That's where I was born and raised, though I went on an assignnt with my class and got lost here."
Podri? Neraxis tilted his head.
He wasn't a stranger to the world map, and Podri was definitely not sothing from his world.
Unless...
"Is that so abbreviation?"
"Podri? Well, we call it Podrindium, but since it sounds like a tal, everyone mutually agreed to call it Podri instead," Liza replied with a giggle, grabbing his hand and standing up before dusting herself off.
She seed a lot calr now that she wasn't in any imdiate danger.
But from her body language, Neraxis could tell she still felt uncomfortable around him, hence why her guard was up.
Nonetheless, the city Podri or Podrindium did not exist in his world.
"I see. Let's go to that temple, I believe? It says we need to et the priestess," Neraxis said and took the lead.
"Temple...? Oh right—wait, what's up with this difficulty!?" Liza's shocked voice rang out, prompting him to turn around.
"I-It was normal earlier, but now it's Elite? A-Am I really going to die here?"
What I wouldn't give for you to stop whining, Neraxis thought as he approached, holding out his hand.
"Just take my hand. I'll lead you there. Maybe there's a way out of this place. If you mope around here, then you'll definitely die."
As his words fell, a ssage appeared in his sight.
