After paying a visit to the church and having a chat with Lady Ariana, I finally left the church with Mira in tow with me.
"Finally ready to visit that dungeon?" Mira asked, tilting her head.
"Yea, let's go," I said with a chuckle as my hand rubbed against the hilt of my sword.
During the past few days, I have been practicing together with Harry and can feel that my sword skills have increased by a lot thanks to the mimic spell.
The mimic spell isn't just limited to just sword but being a magic spell, I can also mimic someone's spell be it even a fusion one, but of course I decided to take this things one step at a time.
It also helped me in understanding Harry's sword style a bit more thanks to him helping me in particular... It was like, him teaching me about the launguage I have been copying.
Of course I will start to understand it's meaning and principal at some points since I don't have to decode them all by myself from the beginning.
Of course, the moment he realised what I was doing, he didn't even try using the first five forms of his sword style, which was kind of a a let down as I would have for sure tried learning a bit more.
"Finally, I have been waiting for soo long!!" Mira said, failing to conceal her excitement, not even trying to do so.
"Let go visit orphanage after this." I said, holding her hand, taking her by suprise before she smiled and interlocked her fingers.
"Hm, sure." She said, "How's Lady Ariana doing?" She asked, a bit curious as I sighns.
"She is doing good but..."
"But what?"
"I don't know, how should I put it? She was very worried today, and a little sad, unusually so. Don't see her sad often, the last time I saw her like that, I don't wanna remember that..."
"Don't overthink," Mira said, holding my hand tightly, "Everything will be fine." She said with a bright smile as I smiled back at her, "Yeah... it will." I said.

"Wind blade!" Mira said, as her attack cut through the weak stone monster which was walking towards us as I raised past her, slashing the others with my sword.
"Finally, it's over." I said, landing beside her.
The dungeon we are in is called 'Abondoned Mine'. There is nothing to be too bevare of here since the only type of monster here are these stone monster, which are just like weak undeads.
And occasional bats, both of which can be taken care of rather easily even by Mira, with her Wind blade magic against stone monsters, and Fire magic against bats.
Of course her magic isn't strong enough yet to completely cut through rock, but it has enough impact to destroy these snowman like stone creature.
"Should we challenge the boss?" Mira asked, collecting the mana crystals from the monsters, "It has to be either some kind of bat or a golem right? I don't think it will be stronger than that." She said.
What did she meant from stronger than that? Either an elemental or metal golem or a low level vampire, both of which spells doom for us as they are they creature of a high level dungeon, which need a party to clear.
A couple of rookies can't defend against at all but... "Let's check it out atleast, we will leave if it's too dangerous." I said as she nods.
"Let's do that," she said as we made our way inside the dungeon slaying more of these stone guys and stinky bats before we soon reached out destination.
"So, this is it? The boss room?" Mira said, as we looked at the huge door which screams 'Boss Room' loud enough that we knows what waiting inside for us but...
"Hm, The path ahead works on the principal of equal exchange." Mira said, reading put the words which were written on the door of the boss room.
"What could it mean?" I asked with a frown as Mira strugged her shoulders, "No idea." She said as I shake my head.
"Well, no matter, our plans won't change, let's go and defeat the boss." I said as Mira nods, a bit uneasy but she let it pass as we opened the door and just as we expected, we spotted a Rock Golem inside, just as we expected.
"Get ready," I said, taking out my sword.
The threat the Rock Golem possess for us is sizeable but nothing which can't be handled, of course it will do us no good if we let our guard down.
With a sword in my hand, I rushed forward towards the golem as Mira cast her spells from behind.
"Wind Blade!!" She said, as blades of winds rushed past me hitting the golem twice my size but failing to do any real damage, only managing to leave a few scratches.
Except for one, which glazed its neck, giving me an opening between the two stones as the golem rushed at me, aiming to punch me.
"Sword Art," Unlike Harry's Sea sword art, I haven't named my sword art anything only because I haven't decided yet and don't know the path I will take for this art in future.
"1st Form: Magical Disappearance:- Unknown." I muttered as I vanished from golems view, as my stealth spell activated, and I used the special ability of my sword, to execute that skill.
The golem paused for a second, suprised at my sudden disappearance before it felt a sudden slash at its neck as it roared through its non existent mouth causing me to take a step back.
I didn't manage to cut off his head completely but the cut I left was surely deep enough that a single lethal attack there would be enough to cut off its head and...
"Wind Blade!!"
That's what happened as Mira again casted a whole lot of wind blade spells.
The golem tried to protect its neck with his rocky arms but failed to do so as I appeared again in front of him, distracting it causing one of the wind blade to rush past his defence, slashing its neck away as it fall on floor.
"We... We did it?" I asked Mira as she nods, still surprised that just the two of us has taken down the boss.
"I guess, yea?" She said, equally confused.
Of course we were sure we will win, if we were not sure about that, we wouldn't have challenged it in the first place but... It felt too easy, far too easy in fact.
Normally, these type of easy boss battle are not a good thing.
Unless of course you are so strong that they get so easy but that's definitely not the case here, the only other reason why a boss battle could be so easy is because, it was a trap...
As soon as that thought appeared in my mind, a chill ran down my spine as a bunch of letters appeared in the air.
"This place works on the principle of equal exchange."
"This place works on the principle of equal exchange."
