Chapter 147 A Queen's Sorrow... Part-1.

"How big even is this place!?" (Fade)

Fade glared at the never-ending tunnels with frustration written all over his face.

They have been wandering in this large tunnel network for more than three hours now, yet there's no end in sight.

This place is shrouded in darkness and thousands upon thousands of corpses of Dark Elven warriors and demons are scattered in this gigantic cave system.

Ignoring Fade's frustrated complaints, Kira glanced at the fire illumination spell and increased its intensity. This enhanced the vision and the darkness receded further.

"I think we have entered the inner area of the dungeon.... I clearly cast the spell to guide us outside of these tunnels but, it has taken us even deeper... strange..." (Kira)

"What!? Could it be you cast a wrong spell!?" (Fade)

Hearing Fade's doubting voice, Kira frowned a bit and retorted with an angry voice.

"You are doubting my magical capabilities!?" (Kira)

Kira pouted her cheeks, her cute face made her look even more beautiful when she was angry.

Fade hurriedly apologized for his rude remarks:

"Uh, no way, i-I am not doubting you or anything! It's just that I am a little frustrated, that's all!" (Fade)

"Humph, you better not doubt me from now on!" (Kira)

"Yes, yes, you are my cute princess! How can I doubt you!" (Fade)

Hearing Fade's apology, Kira seems to have forgiven Fade for his rude behavior of doubting her capabilities.

(Kira is no doubt an excellent mage, with a wide variety of spells in her arsenal. Meanwhile, Fade can use every type of magic due to his system's help, but he is more focused on attack spells and doesn't bother putting his EXP on the auxiliary spells...)

Both Kira and Fade have a proper role in their party of two people. They have been to many dungeons together before. Kira is focused on auxiliary spells and support magic, while Fade's main job is to deal massive damage to the enemies.

They have been fighting together for more than a year now, thus their mutual understanding is quite good.

Kira has helped Fade on many occasions. She has a vast knowledge of history and she is the top scorer of the written exams conducted by the academy. In the academic world, Kira is considered a genius who only appears once in a century.

(She has saved Fade's life so many times by now, that it's useless to even count it. Fade is literally alive due to her care for him...)

...

Kira stared at the nearby corpses with a solemn look on her face.

"But this place is strange, no matter what..." (Kira)

Hearing her serious tone, Fade asked with a doubtful look on his face:

"How so? Isn't this just a graveyard filled with corpses to the brim?" (Fade)

Fade shrugged his shoulders and rolled while thinking about this weird place. He still remembered that horrible smell which made him vomit to death.

Kira held Fade's hand and cast a wind magic spell to boost their [Intermediate Wind Magic: Flowing wind breeze!]

The wind magic helped the two push faster and increased their running speed by many times.

"Perhaps the only way to get out of this place is to go further deep, there must be a teleportation altar there, which would have been used to teleport the troops out of the battlefield..." (Kira)

"But if that is true, then we are in even more trouble than before..." (Kira)

Kira had speculated in her mind that, the entrance of the tunnel must have collapsed due to some reason and the only way out of this place right now was the teleportation altar.

But if her earlier theory was true....

"It is very likely, that supposed strong individual is near that teleportation altar too... and if he has gone crazy, they will destroy the altar... our way out will be blocked if that happens..." (Kira)

"What!? No we can't let that happen! We must hurry and get to that altar first!" (Fade)

Hearing Fade's startled voice, Kira nodded her head and replied in a determined tone.

"Yes, that's my plan, we need to somehow bypass that strong individual and teleport out of this place, and we must avoid engaging in a pointless battle and must secure our way out of this place first..." (Kira)

"Yes!" (Fade)

Although Fade didn't understand the plan one bit and didn't care if has to fight someone strong or not, he continued to nod his head and agree to Kira's plan.

Kira's plan was no doubt a good one. With just a few small clues and hints, she had connected the dots and figured out the grand scheme of things going on around here.

Her vast historical knowledge gives her an advantage in many dungeon raids.

But plans work against those who can be taken care of with your strength, if the strength difference is too big, then any plan or trick loses its charm.

There's a saying in this world: All tricks and plans, pale against unrivaled strength. Even legends bend their head when true strength demands it.

Author's Notes.

Yo! It's your beloved author here! It's been a while since I wrote a chapter from Fade's perspective, so here it is! But seriously, Kira's title 'Genius Light' is indeed not for show, she guessed everything so correctly that it's impressive!
