Chapter 87 - A Husband Gets His Hand On The Desired Stones!
It wasn't a one-sided battle with Kyoya dominating over the adventurers.
He had to exert as much strength as possible to keep considerable distance! It was mostly thanks to the Sagittarius Title that had brought three concepts with itself. One of these concepts was the speed that was further strengthened by the physique of the divine demon, Marisa.
The speed was Kyoya's strongest asset.
So even if the battle unfolded with Kyoya fighting during the day, his cards would still be hardly seen by the adventurers. They had to deepen their focus on Kyoya long-distance attacks which meant that more room was given for the husband!
Then, the concept of throwing polished Kyoya's style. His cards could've been thrown from any position, either while running or jumping.
Lastly, the concept of precision delivers more options for the husband. In the last battle, his cards were sometimes bent during the flight! He was throwing those cards like boomerangs at some point!
Thanks to his eyes being blessed with the concept of perception, Kyoya had fought against the adventurers competently! The cards were as if blessed with critical strikes that brought up a lot of bleeding.
It has to be said, but the unique cards made out from grayish wood were also used. After the physical defenses of the adventurers got reduced, even Kyoya's knife was enough to tear through their bodies filled with belief.
But as said before, it was not a one-sided battle and this very knife had to be used a lot to intercept the adventurers who could close the distance. This resulted in Kyoya getting some wounds, but those already got healed!
"The ones who tried to run away got killed by the husband's execution! It was so cool! Mmm!"
"Don't get too excited. We are still going to face more of such people."
"Yes, husband!"
Xaya was elated, but mostly because she could be on her husband's back while he fought. Her eyes had clearly fallen onto the filthy adventurers, the whole progress of their deaths entered her eyes vividly, thus, Xaya felt blessed with fate. Of course, a good wife didn't forget to treat her husband after the battle.
After this treatment happened, Kyoya and Xaya entered the mine through the cleared entrance. In the meantime, the commoners who passed through them found out about the disappearance of the adventurers.
They took this as a big chance, and so ran away.
"It should be far harder for me to fight in such a narrow corridor."
"Husband is going to be fine either way!"
"And what do you base these words on?"
"On my love!"
As confident in her husband as always, Xaya ignored the dark corridor that could be only lit up by the low-cost torches. Her eyes were on the husband's face as if his pair of eyes was bound to be the lightest!
The couple didn't look like miners at all or like the people who come here to mine. They were like adventurers due to the dropped equipment from their previous victims. Because of that, no one bothered Kyoya and his wife despite her beauty stinging their desires.
The goal of Kyoya was to gather as many Bha stones as possible, so he wanted the area without many people around to mine. However, a few minutes of walking forward had told him that this is an impossible feat.
He then decided to just mine then.
"Xaya, these bha stones are for our bathroom."
"Yes, husband! Good luck, get as many bha stones as you want!"
Ding!
Quest!
[Xaya wants her husband's ambitions to be achieved!
Get as many bha stones as possible!
You get a pickaxe! With Xaya on your back, the pickaxe's efficiency is raised! The wife's touch also lowers the burden coming off of mining!]
"How clever! I wanted you to work with me!"
"Hehe, husband! I am your support!"
"Stop cuddling or I won't be able to work."
"Husband~~"
It took a while for Xaya to stop her cuddling. In a nutshell, the husband had to raise his arms so high with the pickaxe that the wife nearly fell off his back! Only then, Xaya focused on gripping him stronger!
The husband then began his work.
He got the pickaxe from the game system in his inventory. The simple items from the quests to fulfill his Xaya wishes can be created out of nowhere. This is the power of the All Creation System!
A system that still supports Xaya wholeheartedly on her wife's path.
While being hugged by his wife, Kyoya's pickaxe never stopped. He swung and dug on his way while gathering some attention as he had 'koala wife' on his back that didn't lack in anything!
A few brave ones came out, but Kyoya already proved to be indomitable.
If the adventurers appeared to be persistent, then he took out his knives. If not, then Kyoya just refused them with his convincing voice to continue to work without any problems.
This lasted for an hour.
[You have gathered 34 Bha Stones.]
Though dark like the corridor, Kyoya's game system counted the bha stones and grabbed them to the inventory each time his pickaxe struck those on its path. Because of that, Kyoya was faster compared to other miners. He had also his wife supporting him! The combination of these two appeared to be the most efficient in the mine.
"This sector is done."
"Good job, husband!"
Kyoya rubbed his nose with satisfaction leaving some black lines on his face. Then, after the pickaxe disappeared into his inventory, the husband turned around. In the meantime, Xaya's handkerchief provided by the game system blocked his eyesight as she leaned forward to wipe off all the dirt from his face.
As usual, it is, the couple was within their own world.
"Hello!"
Unluckily for Xaya, someone's voice pulled them out from this very world. It was the man appearing to be in his early twenties. His clothes were similar to the miners, but thanks to his eyesight, Kyoya could see the differences.
Those clothes were sturdy and provided high defenses!
He had a miner's helmet with a stone on its forehead that was letting out light similar to a flashlight, then his eyes similarly flashed brightly.
"Hello, do you need anything from us?"
When Kyoya answered in a similar polite tone, the miner's body shook as he nodded a few times to Kyoya's nice tone and question. This action likewise shook his backpack which was as big as his body.
Inside, a lot of stuff bumped into each other!
"My name is Josef! The reason I have come to you is because we probably have similar techniques and beliefs! You seem to be alone here without anyone's approval too, just like me."
"Yep, we are here without paying even a penny."
"So you were the ones to take down the adventurers outside? The bodies disappeared somewhere along with the equipment, so the leaders got mad and began searching for you furiously."
Josef spoke about the situation that was escalating at an astonishing pace. The rumors about him and Xaya being here in this sector should've already reached the ears of the leaders as Kyoya fought and refused a few people during his mining!
This was inevitable, so the husband didn't pay much attention to it. He was also feeling confident in his escape, so he mined as much as he could for. The fate decided, however, that he leaves the sector only when the ores get depleted!
Because of that, Josef had enough time to peek at Kyoya's pickaxe. He was going through the soil without many obstacles and even looked fine despite all this swinging! Moreover, he had a woman on his body.
A woman with such assets should be kinda heavy, but Josef kept that to himself.
Thus, it was the source of Josef's misunderstanding.
"Let them search then. Not like we can stop them with words alone!"
"Exactly! It's far better to just do our task and leave silently! But I still can not leave this mountain yet! I would like to get my hands on Bha Mountain's origin! That's why I am here to offer you collaboration!"
The origin of the Bha Mountain should be a fine piece! Kyoya imagined the source of the non-exhaustive item, his eyes sparkling with greed and thrill! This lasted for a while until he asked a rather strange to Josef question.
"If we take this origin, then what happens to the bha stones?"
"If the origin disappears, then the mountain won't be able to produce these stones. But we should be thankful for the world we live in. That's why I always leave the seeds of origins after every steal. After fifty years, the production of the bha stones should resume then."
Looks like Josef is experienced in this field!
