Magic System in a Parallel World

Chapter 232 End of the Raid(2)

After five days of fighting in the Skeleton Graveyard, Leo received a notification.

<You have been awarded 150,000 Magic Experience and 20,000 Magic Points for clearing Skeleton Graveyard>

"Looks like we've finally cleared out the monster's nest. This took longer than I anticipated." Leo said to the others.

In the end, Leo acquired around 45,000 Magic Points in total throughout the whole raid, and he hunted around 1,000 monsters.

"How's everyone doing? If you're injured, let me know." Khrome said to them after the raid.

Once everyone was accounted for, Khrome said, "Alright, this marks the end of the raid. Great job you guys, especially Leon and Lena. You two basically carried our team. We'll split our loot once we return to Stellar City."

"Thanks to Leon, I didn't even break a single drop of sweat during the whole raid. I'm ashamed to be called your senior," said Trent with a bittersweet smile on his face.

"It's fine. I wanted to kill the monsters, anyways." Leo smiled.

"Do you guys want to head back now, or should we rest a little before we leave?" Khrome asked them a moment later.

"Let's get out of here as soon as possible. I haven't been able to take a decent bath for almost a week now. I want to go home and relax already." Lydia said.

Everyone there agreed with Lydia.

However, right as they prepared to leave, Luna approached them and said, "Please wait a moment."

"I would like to thank you all for the last few days. I was able to acquire a good amount of amazing footage, and my audience seemed very satisfied by the results as well."

"No, we should be thanking you for featuring us in your popular media." Khrome said.

"Oh! Right! Before we part, can I get your autograph?!" Lydia suddenly recalled this and asked her.

"Of course. Do you have anything specific that you want me to sign?" Luna asked.

"Here!" Lydia retrieved her weapon and handed it to Luna, who quickly signed her name on it in an elegant manner.

"Can I ask you to sign this sword as well?" Khrome asked with a somewhat bashful smile on his face.

"Naturally." Luna nodded.

Khrome proceeded to hand her a brand new sword that has never been used before.

Although Trent wasn't much of a fan, his grandchildren were huge fans of Luna, so he asked her to sign several things for them.

"What about you two?" Luna turned to look at Leo and Lia afterward.

"I don't need it." Lia calmly said.

"Me neither." Leo said.

"..."

Luna was speechless. This was the first time someone refused an autograph from her, and it was from two people to boot.

'Many people out there would kill to get my autograph…' She sighed inwardly.

"Alright. Then I hope to work with you all again in the future." Luna gave them a slight bow.

"We would like that as well." Khrome nodded.

And just as they began walking again, Luna stopped them for a second time— "W-Wait!"

They stopped and turned to look at her with raised eyebrows.

"Sorry, but can I speak to you in private, Leon? It won't take more than a few minutes, I promise."

"I guess." He nodded.

Inwardly, he was wondering what she wanted to talk to him about.

Leo followed Luna to another location, but they didn't go so far away that he couldn't see Khrome and the others. It was just far enough so that they could speak to each other openly without needing to worry about eavesdropping.

"What do you want to talk about?" Leo asked her once they stopped moving.

"..."

The expression on Luna's face was drastically different than just moments ago, and she appeared less approachable for some reason.

"I will get straight to the point, 'Leon'. What are you doing here?" Luna asked him in a voice that somewhat lacked emotions, sounding almost like Lia when they first met.

"Huh? Sorry, but I'm not following."

"Don't play dumb. The cameras are off if you're worried about that." Luna frowned.

Leo raised his eyebrows once again and said, "I really have no clue what you're talking about."

The frown on Luna's face grew deeper, and she suddenly started walking towards him.

Leo swallowed nervously and subconsciously stepped back, but Luna quickly caught up to him.

Once she was close enough, Luna grabbed his arm to prevent him from moving, and she moved her head closer to his head before taking a deep breath.

"As I thought. You smell like a vampire." Luna suddenly said, leaving Leo speechless.

'This woman! She's actually a vampire!' He cried inwardly.

"I noticed your smell the moment I got close enough, and after spending the last few days with you, the smell of a vampire on you only grew stronger, and it's not an ordinary smell, either."

"Who are you? Which clan do you belong to? What are you doing here?"

"Wh-Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold up!" Leo said in a somewhat panicked manner.

"I smell like a vampire? Are you seriously saying that? I think there's something wrong with your nose, you should probably get it checked out…"

"Are you mocking me?" Luna's eyes flickered with killing intent, and she tightened her grasp on Leo's arm.

Leo gritted his teeth as he felt a crushing force in his arm. He knew that if he didn't say something, Luna would crush his arm.

"If you're here for me, I advise you to turn back and go back to where you came from."

"I think there's been a misunderstanding. I am not a vampire, nor am I here for you… In fact, I didn't even know your identity until today."

"If you're not a vampire then why do you smell like one?!" Luna growled in a low voice.

"I really don't know!"

"Hey! Look over there! Luna Flores is holding that man's arm!" The people still in that area noticed them and began murmuring to each other.

"Che." Luna sucked her teeth before releasing Leo's arm.

"Forget our conversation just now. If I hear even a word about it after this, I will ruin your fucking life, you hear me?"

"Yes…" Leo quickly nodded.

"Hmph." Luna fixed her expression before walking away, leaving Leo baffled.
