"I am sure I am on the last floor... Shit!"
If that is true, then I must make an escape as soon as possible! The last floor is where the boss is located. How did they manage to get me down here without trouble?
I get inside the room, quickly but mindful of what is inside. I don't detect movement and I close the door behind me.
The room was similar to the last one. Dungeons usually followed a theme from top to bottom, many rooms had similar or little important characteristics.
"Well, if you wouldn't be constantly staring at the maids and the princess's butt, you would have noticed they were preparing an ambush, dumbass!"
I raise my head. The girl that appeared in front of me is still there.
"You don't seem like a monster... Who are you?"
"Why would I be a monster?! You are dense! You should have figured it out by now!"
She looks and sounds like a pain in the ass... Seriously, who is she? I don't remember her from the game. She seems like an entitled brat...
She looks like an apparition or spirit. She is wearing a short white dress, her hair was long and white. Her eyes are yellow. Although, her whole being, clothes and all, has a blue tint to it and I can see through her.
"Oh by the three! You are holding me!"
I look at my hands and I see the only thing I am holding is Bloodless.
Wait-
"Y-you are Bloodless...?"
"Yes! My body is Bloodless but my real name is Karina. And stop touching me weird! You don't need to touch that part of the blade to activate the [Damage boost]!"
She crosses her arms under her chest and looks to the side, like she was in disgust with me.
...is the spirit in my sword a brat? Ego weapons are meant to have a personality but this is going too far.
"Wait, you mean like this?"
I need to test if it is really her. I place my index finger on the back of the sword's blade and move it, brushing the cold Black Steel all the way.
Her reaction is not what I expected.
Her face goes red, her eyes go wide, and her mouth opens. Her thighs start to tremble, like her legs are about to give up.
She grabs the hem of her skirt and pushes it lower, as if trying to hide something.
"A-ah!" Her face is tomato red, who knew that was possible. "Y-you...! H-how d-dare you...?"
"Oh! It's like I was touching your-Oof!"
Something hit me in the face before I could finish the phrase.
"Y-you stupid pervert!"
She threw a piece of random wood at my face.
"That was uncalled for!"
"And you should stop touching me like that! I told you to stop!"
That confirms she is Bloodless... Sort of.
"It took you long enough to get me enough XP. Now I have a form and I can move stuff around!"
"I didn't know Ego items could do that..." I sure didn't.
"Well, feast on your luck! I am giving you the honor of being supported by me! The spirit inside of your sword!" She is inflating her chest, which is, by the way, small. "Rejoice, Vulpin!"
I just stood there, against the door, looking at her.
There is an awkward silence.
"And what can you do?"
"Eh?"
"What can you do now that you have a physical form?"
"W-well... It is not a physical form! Is a spirit form! But I am literally your sword! So that is!"
So, doing exactly what I was just doing, just now with snark commentary.
"And that is your spiritual form?"
"Yes, any problem with that? I am sorry for not having the chest size of the princess or that friend of yours, Kathrina or something like that!"
"I take it you were not capable of choosing a form because you are too self aware about it."
"W-what the-?! Hey! I am not self aware about that! It is you who couldn't stop gawking at them!"
"I don't care."
"Huh?"
"I don't care. All chest sizes are perfect."
There is another silence.
"That somehow makes it worse..." Bloodless covers herself with her arms.
"Well, we better get back to business, Bloodless. We are in the final floor of a dungeon, there is a boss monster moving around and I don't have my levels. I need to find an exit soon. Can you explore around?"
If she goes ahead of me and takes a look around, it will be more safe than manually exploring the dungeon!
"Oh! I can only move just a couple of meters from the sword!"
She moves further away from me into the room and then... Poof! She disappears.
"See?" She appears once more in front of me.
Useless...
Although... I do remember once in the game and other RPGs with similar gameplay when I turned into a corner and got killed by an enemy that was faster than me.
If she cannot be harmed, then she could scout ahead.
"Let's explore this room." I say and get back to dungeoneering.
The room is smaller than the one I just came from. But it still has a few features. Karina helps me find what is around.
Broken cupboards, tables, and a set of wooden boxes. All has seen better days, mostly rotten and broken. But, in my exploration with Karina I find...
[You obtained a Misty Blue Potion!
You obtained a Crimson Potion!
You obtained a translucent scroll!]
It was translucent. Made of paper, but seems like plastic. The runes and magic words on it could be seen clearly. I just have no idea what it does...
[You obtained Quartz Stone x2!
You obtained Scrap Metal x3!
Pieces of Linen x4!
You found a Sapphire!]
There are some trash resources in the boxes. They are useful for crafting, but I doubt I can make anything useful right now.
The sapphire was useful, though. I know how to make magic items with them.
"I need equipment!" I complain. A couple of potions and more scrolls are useful, but if I don't know what they do is not something I can depend on.
"Seems you didn't find anything you could make use of without risking getting burned in the process. If only you paid more attention to your surroundings..."
"Hey! How was I meant to know she was going to betray me like that! I swear, the moment I get back I will find answers!"
"You were the one that saw this whole place like a game... yes, it works similar to that game in that machine you call a computer, but I can assure you, this is real."
I pause for a second at her words.
Does she knows? She knows I am not from this world?
"Wait, you are aware that I am from another world?"
She nods.
"I noticed when your soul mixed with Amber's. Then she behaved a bit different. Especially being more of a pervert."
"Then, do you know why and how it happened?"
"Well..."
BVROOOOOOOM
Oh oh...
THUMP THUMP CRACK!
A loud sound comes from the furthest wall from the door, the one we are nearby right now. We both turn towards it and see a large crack is starting to form.
THUMP!
Another hit, making the crack progress...
Something is coming through.
