God of Tricksters-Novel

Chapter 794 - Explanation

After completing his task, Theo said, "Alright. He's already on the way here. Let's go out and just explain to them what happened underground."

"Do I need to avoid saying anything?" Maya asked, making sure that she didn't say anything that would hurt their reputation.

Theo only pointed at his Death Armor. "Only this. The rest is good."

"Okay."

Maya wasn't aware of the Death Order that had enhanced the ability of the skeletons, nor was she present when Theo acted like he had comprehended the Death Order.

So, he thought it would be fine to not explain many things to Maya.

As for Agata, she knew what to say without even him telling her, so he didn't need to check on her.

"Alright. Let's go then." Theo waved his hand and walked toward the exit.

As soon as they left the dungeon, everyone's gaze was shifted to them, not because it was a party of Theo and Maya, but because of the numerous weapons floating behind them.

It was clear that they were the ones carrying all these weapons. And some of them were rusty enough to tell them that this was from the dungeon.

"Is that…"

"Were they the ones who caused everything?"

"So, did they somehow beat the dungeon?"

"But how? The 30th floor should be the lowest level. Our group had gone there, but nothing was wrong. We couldn't even find anything."

"Then they might have found a secret room that ended up to be the biggest secret vault."

"Yeah. I bet they were the cause. But what happened was still unclear."

There were gazes of envy, gazes of admiration, and even an empty gaze. People had various feelings when they saw another group getting something big.

Listening to the whispers among them was enough for Maya to know that some of them might be following them when they left. She understood why Theo wanted a Mythical Rank Expert as their escort.

If they had an escort like that, even if they were simply curious and didn't plan something bad, they would drop the idea since the Mythical Rank Expert would sense them.

Still, this didn't stop the soldiers from approaching them. Three soldiers were standing before them, one staring at them while the other two were looking at the numerous weapons.

As one would expect from Maya, she made a smug smile and asked, "So, what's your question?"

Her arrogant face was displeasing for the soldiers, but they didn't dare to show it openly, considering the other party had the power to find something no one had ever discovered before.

"We would like to ask about what happened inside the dungeon," One of them asked politely.

"It's simple. We found a secret room and opened it. The trace was still there on the 30th floor. We fought a witch that controlled everything and defeated her. That was when the skeletons died," Maya explained without hesitation.

"Witch? What kind of witch?"

"I'm not very sure, but the description was similar to that of Baba Yaga. An old witch with a long nose and rotten arms. She had a black metal pot and a broom and had the power to summon the undead.

"I believe the skeletons were responding to her call earlier and rushed toward the secret vault since we needed to take care of numerous skeletons together."

The soldier nodded and noted it down before asking another question. "Then do you have the corpse of that witch?"

"No. We turned her into cards. Our positions were separated since I was the one in charge of stopping the skeletons while they were killing the witch." Maya pointed at Theo and Agata. "They must have thought the skeletons were still there and turned that witch into cards before helping me. You can't blame them for that."

"Y-yeah." The soldier didn't say anything. After all, the situation was dire. The witch should be extremely powerful, and every second was precious. So, they needed to do whatever they were supposed to do without hesitation. "In that case, how strong was the witch?"

"Hmm." Maya turned around, looking at Agata and Theo for the answer.

"Quite strong." Agata was the first to answer.

"Quite strong…" The soldier murmured while looking at them unscathed. Normally, in a fight like this, they would get injured or something. Even if they closed their wounds, the mark on their clothes would remain.

"That's right. The skeletons alone had reached Supreme Rank for some… Meanwhile, one of you was still a Hero Rank Expert. It's hard to believe that the witch couldn't do anything to you guys since the witch needed to be at least level 600 or 650." Another person from the crowd shouted, trying to deny their claim.

"And is there a reason why we can't defeat her?" Maya glared at the guy while narrowing her eyes. "Don't treat us the same as you, trash."

"What did you say?!" The guy stepped forward, not liking Maya's statement a bit.

"You're trash. That's simple." Maya yawned, looking down on him.

"You bitch." The guy walked toward her before a soldier stopped him, not wanting the guy to disturb the peace.

"I already told you. If you were not trash, you would have participated in the Grand Gaia Competition. And did you think a nobody could ever get the Ring of Honor in that competition?" Maya smiled. "I'm simply stating a fact."

"Enough." The soldier came between them and raised his hands, stopping the fight. "We're in charge here."

"Cool… now, I don't feel like answering your question because of this fool." Maya snorted.

"What did you say, bitch?! Come here! I'll beat your ass!"

"Sorry, but I can't let that one go." Suddenly, a man's voice echoed in everyone's ears.

Everyone got a shiver because there was another man wearing a black-colored formal suit appearing right in front of the soldiers.

"That's interesting." The man smiled and said, "It seems that someone wants to make trouble with the person I work for…"

Suddenly, the man released all his Magic Power, turning it into pressure. The pressure cracked the ground fifty feet away and forced all other people to kneel.

Bam.

The loud cracking ground resounded in the area as people started to pant from the pressure.

"My young lady has been cooperating with the soldiers this whole time, but there is mister nobody who thinks he has the right to speak. I wonder what I should do with you…"
