"I visited Marie some time ago and she told me you came here. When I heard the explosions on the floor, I imagined it was you, but I never thought the mother would summon that creature to kill you, you must have enraged her a lot," Lyd said and Xin sighed, the chaos caused in the fight at the coliseum must have summoned the Juggernaut.
"What do we do now?" Xin asked as they ascended the dungeon.
"I would like to introduce you to the other Xenos,"
Lyd continued. "You've proven to be a powerful warrior and a potential ally. Our goals may be different, but I believe we can learn a lot from each other." He seemed eager despite trying to disguise it.
Xin pondered the proposal for a moment.
The idea of connecting with the Xenos, of exploring this unknown facet of the dungeon, was intriguing.
"I accept your offer, Lyd. I look forward to meeting your companions and learning more about you. I've already met Marie and you, I can say it wasn't a bad experience," Xin smiled at this.
Lyd smiled, a gesture that conveyed a sense of genuine camaraderie. "Great. Follow me, then. We'll find a safe way out of here and then I'll take you to our meeting."
Thus, both followed the stairs to the next floor.
After the arduous and tense escape from the deep floors of the dungeon, Xin and Lyd finally emerged in the tranquil Capital of Waters.
Lyd continued to lead the winding way, full of hidden routes, ensuring they avoided any unwanted encounters with other dangers of the dungeon.
The soft light of dusk bathed the waterfalls at that moment, providing a stark contrast to the shadows and dangers of the depths from which they had just escaped.
As they approached the meeting point, a familiar and energetic figure emerged in the distance from one of the currents.
"LYD, XIN!" Marie exclaimed, her voice filled with relief and joy. Despite the evident exhaustion on his face, Xin made an effort to clean his clothes, trying to disguise the signs of the recent confrontation and of nearly losing his life.
Yet, it was impossible to completely hide his fatigue, reflected in his slightly downcast appearance and his tired smile as he looked at Marie.
Marie ran towards them, her eyes shining with concern and happiness. She stopped in front of Xin, examining him from head to toe as if looking for injuries.
"Are you okay? What happened down there?" she asked, her voice tinged with worry.
Before Xin could answer, Lyd intervened with a reproachful tone. "Marie! I already told you that you can't wait for us outside the hideout!"
Lyd looked around cautiously, making sure no suspicious person was watching. "It's dangerous. You know we must keep our location secret and always move in hiding."
Marie lowered her head, realizing her mistake. "Sorry, Lyd. I was just worried and wanted to make sure you were safe."
