Raised in Dungeon

80 I'll be the one who saves you

"It hurts... it hurts... it hurts..."

"What happened? Why does it feel so painful?"

Felicia, who was kicked by the minotaur, slowly raised her head, looking at Allen, who was lying far away in front of her.

"No... I can't die... I have to give Allen light... I have to... use more of my mana."

At that moment, the blood scattered around her finally formed a circle. Every drop of her blood became a plant growing around Felicia's body. The plant shone brightly, and its rays healed Felicia's broken body.

When the plant disappeared, Felicia's blood in her mouth made her cough.

"Cough! Cough! Am I still alive?" she muttered after she sat up.

The crystal stones that were spread out on the floor shone. Felicia could immediately see the huge body of the minotaur that had fallen in front of her, crushed by the dungeon's rock debris.

"Did Allen manage to defeat that monster?!"

Then, as the crystal glowed, Felicia concluded that the spirit was suddenly back because that monster was finally dead. Felicia then found something very familiar to her. It was a brown cloth with jewels on it. When she saw it, she immediately twisted her face, looking around the room and searching for the person who owned the cloth. It was the cloth Allen used to tie his head with.

Then Felicia stood up, looking straight ahead. She could see Allen's body drooping near the wall.

"ALLEN!"

Felicia immediately ran towards Allen.

Allen was lying on his stomach, not wearing any clothes, and there was a fist-sized hole in his stomach. His blood flowed from the hole, creeping around him.

"What the hell is going on?"

Felicia turned Allen around and tried to listen to his heartbeat.

"Thank God! He's still alive!"

She pulled Allen's body away from that blood pond, and then she sliced her hand to use her god's blessing.

But once the blood fell and was absorbed by the rocks,

The plants only grew a few milimeters and then suddenly broke.

"Huh?"

Felicia realized that she had run out of mana.

"Why at a time like this?"

Felicia continued to drip her blood around Allen's body, but it was useless.

"Please, please."

She sliced her left hand this time; the blood came out more, but it was still useless.

"WHY?! I HAVE TO SAVE ALLEN! PLEASE WORK!"

Desperately, Felicia repeatedly sliced the knife on her wrist, and now that she was no longer inhibiting the bleeding, she let the blood flow out.

If there was more blood, maybe the plant could grow faster. That's how Felicia thought.

But it was still useless…

Felicia's desperation grew to a peak as she heard the sound of footsteps. Familiarity with the sound drove her to a state of paranoia - it was a voice she recognized all too well.

-TAK CRACK CRACK CRACK

It sounded like sharp objects rubbing against a stone. The sound of the spider monster's feet. They entered the room because the minotaur that had threatened them was gone.

"No way..."

Felicia fell into despair. There was no way to escape from there; the only way out had also been closed off by the spiders.

"I'm scared... I don't want to die..." Felicia muttered while hugging Allen's head.

"Sir Waldo..."

Then out of nowhere, a black slime moved rapidly toward Felicia.

"Reig?! You're Reig, right?! Where have you been?!" shouted Felicia.

A small hand came out of Reig's body, patting Felicia's cheek gently.

"Reig, what do you want to say?"

Reig pointed to Felicia's left,

He pointed to the cave that the minotaur had destroyed. From inside the cave, there was a bright light.

"That light... crystal light! Do you want me to go there? But how do I get in?"

Reig didn't respond, or rather, couldn't respond. Reig then jumped into the hole in Allen's body and closed it with his body.

"Reig! Are you trying to save Allen?!"

To stop the bleeding, Reig then fused to the same shape as the hole in Allen's body.

"So, you haven't given up yet, Reig," Felicia muttered.

Felicia then looked around her; there were tons of spiders approaching them. The spiders were about half a kilometer away, while the cave was a bit closer.

Felicia then lifted Allen's body.

"Ugh! You're so heavy!" Felicia said as she wrapped Allen's arms around her neck and pulled him up.

"I understand, Reig. As long as we can reach the cave again, we can survive, right? I'll believe you can do something when we get there. I won't die here, and I won't let Allen die here either."

Felicia started running as fast as she could while pulling Allen's heavy body.

Because of Felicia, the spider was approaching them faster and faster.

Felicia continued to pull on Allen's drooping body, forcing herself to survive.

"It's okay; I'll definitely be fine. Everything will be fine. We'll get out of here!" Felicia muttered, even though she could feel her body's weakness just from walking a few meters.

When she was getting closer, suddenly

-SHOOT

The spider started shooting its web, covering Felicia's left hand.

"!!!"

Despite the dangerous situation, Felicia was not ready to accept defeat. She persistently pushed her exhausted body closer towards the cave's entrance in a desperate attempt to escape the advancing spiders. No matter how hard she tried, the spiders kept gaining ground and the webs they spat out wrapped around her body.

Eventually, her weakened state became unbearable, and she fell to the ground, her legs completely immobilized by the thick webs. Despite all this, she still held on to a glimmer of hope. Seizing her rapier, she desperately cut away the webs from her legs and then lunged forward with all her might, finally piercing the spider that stood in her way.

-SLASH

Felicia slashed her rapier at the spider, piercing right through its head. Much to her surprise, the spider's body yielded beneath the blade, far more fragile than she had expected. She glanced down at her rapier, which was now covered in green blood, flowing down to stain her hands.

"Somehow I'm not afraid anymore," she muttered.

Felicia then looked at the spider she had just killed,

"Fufu" Surprisingly, Felicia smiled. She managed to raise her sword and kill a monster. Instead of the goblins and slimes, this was where Felicia felt she had actually killed a monster. So she considered the spider to be her first kill.

"I'll have to tell Sir Waldo about my first kill experience later," Felicia muttered.

Felicia looked at the approaching spider, and then she looked at Allen, who was lying on the ground,

"Geez, Allen. Why am I the one who is protecting you now? Aren't you my knight?"

She then stood tall, pointing her rapier at the spiders.

"But it's okay, Allen. Because this time... I'll be the one who saves you!"

The spiders shot out their webs again; Felicia, whose armor was already dangling due to damage, immediately threw it forward, resulting in her armor being the one which is hit by the spider web.

Then she quickly stabbed her fingertips with her rapier.

"I can feel it; my mana is running low."

She quickly drew a flame symbol in front of him, along with a command spell around the flame.

'The crystal glows because there are spirits around. I have yet to learn how to confirm the presence of elemental spirits. But I hope the spirit in this room is a fire spirit,'

After finishing, he shouted

"FLAME ARROOOOOW!!!"

It was a level one fire amnis. The most basic fire amnis that almost everyone could use. The mana required was only a little, and it wasn't very useful in a fight because it only shot out a little fire.

That is how it should be…

But in front of the circle of amnis that Felicia was making now, there was a fire resembling a spear, almost the same size as her body, from the tips of her fingers. She felt the intense heat rising from her palms as the spear grew in size. Soon, it had expanded to its maximum, and Felicia released it like a cannon of fire, incinerating all the spiders that stood in its way.

The sheer power of the fire amnis left Felicia feeling tired and weak. Her head seemed to spin, and her consciousness faded away.

After using the amnis, Felicia immediately felt tired. Her head was dizzy, and her consciousness began to fade.

-TWING

Felicia stabbed her rapier into the floor, trying to bear the weight of her falling body with the sword.

"I-I can't faint here yet... I have to save Allen..." she whispered, holding tight her rapier.

Felicia's chest was heavy, and her hair and face dripped with sweat. She had to save Allen and get back to safety. Taking a deep breath, she looked around and noticed that not many spiders had she killed. Felicia's amnis did not have an area effect. But she had to put an end to this battle.

Panting and sweating profusely, Felicia exclaimed, "I-I can't faint here yet... I have to save Allen..." Determined to survive, she mustered all her strength and picked up her rapier again.

Though her vision was blurred, her hair was messy, and so was her face, she still hadn't given up yet.

In a barely audible whisper, she spoke to herself,

"I'll... live... I'll live... and take Allen with me... We'll go home." With that, Felicia squared her shoulders, took a deep breath, and began to randomly swing her rapier with a weak slash, determined to make it out of this alive and take Allen back safely.

-SHOOT

The spider shot Felicia in the head with its web, causing her to fall backward onto Allen's stomach.

The spider was finally right in front of the two of them and was preparing to bite Felicia's body to infuse its venom into its prey.

"I-I can't d-die here..."

Felicia gripped her rapier tightly, but she no longer had the strength to lift it.

Now that she was completely desperate, water was leaking out of her eyes, and she could no longer maintain consciousness; she closed her eyes.

Until she heard

"Abare Latius Anguis"

It was a man's voice that Felicia had heard before, but she didn't really remember whose voice it was.

At that moment, it was as if a long creature swung over Felicia, sweeping away all the spiders and separating their bodies and some of their legs.

"I'm sorry I'm late, but thankfully I came at the right time. I came at your friend's request... what's her name again? La-la.... Labinia? That beautiful priestess."

By then, Felicia had already fainted,

"Oalah, they're already unconscious. Are they dead?"

From the darkness, what emerged was one of the knights of the rounds, Birawa Budiono, who had previously decided to stay overnight in the city.

He then checked Felicia's and Allen's heartbeats.

"Wow! They're still alive?! Seriously? How come?!" Birawa shouted in Indonesian.

Then he looked around and muttered:

"But these kids are great; how could they kill this many Bat Arachne? They even destroyed a very strong dungeon wall."
