Chapter 201 - Joining Xenos

Xin, observing the interaction, felt touched by Marie's concern.

"We're fine, thanks to Lyd," He said, placing a hand on the Xenos' shoulder in a sign of gratitude. "Something terrible emerged down there, but we're here now."

Marie looked at Xin, relieved, but still clearly eager to know more about what had happened. "Marie thinks it's better if we go somewhere safer, and Marie wants to know what happened,"

she suggested, looking around to ensure they were not being followed or observed.

The trio then discreetly headed to a place among the safe zones that Marie knew, finally stopping at a location on floor 26.

Xin, exhausted, helped himself to some quick ration food. Then, he used his magical abilities to create a comfortable bed, seeking a few hours of well-deserved rest.

Three hours of deep, restorative sleep allowed Xin to begin recovering from the physical and mental exertion of the battle in the deep floors. Upon waking, still feeling the weight of fatigue but more refreshed, he joined Marie and Lyd, who were waiting patiently.

"What do we do now?" Xin asked, rubbing his eyes and trying to organize his thoughts.

"I was planning to take you to Rivira," Lyd replied.

The suggestion was logical but also risky, considering the presence of the Juggernaut in the lower floors.

"With that thing down there?" Xin raised an eyebrow, the memory of the Juggernaut still vivid in his mind.

The prospect of returning to the dungeon so soon, especially with the threat of the Juggernaut still lurking, was daunting, not to mention that the creature might develop a will of its own and start feeding on other monsters to evolve.

He had the war game right on his doorstep, which he planned to return to in order to prepare, yet Xin pondered the situation with a grave expression.

The threat of the Juggernaut in the deep floors was something he could not simply ignore.

"This monster... it's a danger to everyone in the dungeon, including the Xenos," he said, looking directly at Lyd and the innocent Marie.

Lyd nodded, agreeing with the seriousness of the situation. "Fels will probably contact us soon, and then we'll act. But until then, we are all at risk."

"That thing will smell us at any moment and come to the upper floors. Even you, Xenos, will be in danger," Xin argued, his voice clearly worried.

"We can't do much," Lyd admitted, with a worried look. "The Juggernaut is a force of the mother, a threat feared by everyone in the dungeon."

"We can fight that thing. There are more of you, aren't there?" Xin asked, his voice carrying a tone of challenge. "We can't just sit and wait. We need to act."

Lyd looked at Xin, surprised by his determination. "Yes, there are more of us, but... would you fight with us, Xin? Would you join us in this battle?"

Xin fixed his gaze on Lyd. "Yes, that thing was summoned because of me. I can't turn my back on it, can I? If I'm the reason for this threat, then I'll be part of the solution."
