Kevin couldn't help but worry, level 56 was not a small number but Axel looked so sure of himself that he ended up slacking off a bit.

As Axel was fighting so fast that he had trouble to keep up with his movements, he did as he asked him and soon enough, the sound of the System echoed in his head.

A message popped up pointing at another rock which was bigger than the one from last time and this wasn't surprising given the message that appeared.

[ HIGH GRADE BOX ]

Kevin knew that Axel would be delighted with this news, thinking of Axel, Kevin couldn't help but think that he was really lucky to have found him, not lot of people would have believe his story.

So, he decided that no matter what happened later, he would do anything to keep him by his side.

He was going to have to watch out for this Irina and the powerful people that was supporting her, but he had made up his mind that he wouldn't be hiding anymore and he was planning on spending as much time as possible with Axel.

When Axel finally beheaded the dungeon boss he heard the usual sound of the System and a message was displayed.

[ Congratulations on completing the Optional Quest : Team up with Axel and kill the dungeon boss. The rewards have been sent. ]

Kevin chose to check his Inventory menu as he had already received a low grade box and a lot of money, he already thought about it and other than in his inventory there were nowhere his rewards could be sent.

[ INVENTORY ]

- 3 970 gold coins

- Low grade box x 2

Kevin smiled, it was as he expected, then Axel waved him over and Kevin closed the System holographic screen before joining him.

Axel said : "So how was it ?"

Kevin honestly told him : "You were moving so fast that I had a hard time following you, and you managed to kill a level 56 warrior goblin in just a few minutes, I'm really, really impressed."

Axel showed him his cheek and tapped his finger on it, saying : "Do I have the right to have a reward ?"

Kevin smiled and he obediently kissed his cheek as he wished, and after that, he said with his eyes shining with excitement : "I found a high grade box, right over there."

Axel opened his eyes wide and said : "Earlier the box that you found was a medium grade wasn't it ?"

Kevin nodded and pulled him in the direction of the box : "Hurry up Axel !"

Axel laughed and followed him as excited as he was. Kevin found the lock again which was carefully hidden and Axel destroyed it using the same method that for the first box.

Kevin after opening the System holographic screen read the information of what was inside the box for Axel.

[ HIGH GRADE BOX ]

- 10 500 gold coins

- High grade sword : + 200 Strength points, + 70 Agility points, + 50 Stamina points.

- Medium grade belt : + 30 Agility points, + 20 Stamina points.

- Medium grade bracelet : + 150 Soul force points + 15 perception points.

He smiled and asked Axel : "What do you think about this sword, do you like it ?"

Axel took it and made a few moves with it, he could feel all the power of this sword and his whole body also felt lighter, as if all his moves were easier and faster, it was probably due to its agility points.

Axel honestly told him : "The stats on this sword are amazing and although it's not an artifact because it can't use an element, I really like it."

The problem was that Axel was much more concerned with Kevin's safety so he said : "If you want I can teach you how to fight with a sword so you will be able to use it."

Kevin got up and stretched, he said to Axel : "This sword is for you, and it's not that I don't know how to use a sword, it's just that I prefer to use daggers to fight."

Axel got up too and didn't try to argue any further, he took Kevin in his arms and asked him while rubbing his cheek against his : "Do you still feel tired ?"

Kevin rested his head in the crook of his neck and said, hugging him : "I'm dead tired."

Axel stroked his head and said : "Let me finish taking anything of value here and we'll leave, luckily your magic bag is very spacious.

I will be able to store the bodies of the goblins and their weapons to sell them later."

Kevin looked at him surprised and asked him : "Can we sell the bodies of the monsters ?"

Axel kissed his forehead and said : "Yes we can sell the bodies of monsters, because we can use their bones to create weapons, their blood to create potions, and inside the strongest we can even find magical crystals, which are highly sought and can make a lot of money.

I don't know if our dungeon boss has any, but it's worth selling their bodies anyway."

Kevin handed him his magic bag and went to sit against the wall of the tunnel saying : "I'll let you handle the rest then."

Kevin then did something that he never would have done in his past life, he fell asleep peacefully confident that Axel would protect him from all dangers.

When Axel returned after storing all the goblin bodies and their weapons in a corner of Kevin's magic bag, he found that Kevin was asleep against the wall of the tunnel.

He had planned to return to the city thanks to his wolf's speed but he was going to have to change his plans, he tied Kevin's magic bag around his wrist and he carried him in his arms.

Kevin nestled in his arms and Axel whispered in his ear : "I'm going to take us back to the hotel, just rest Kev."

Axel, after leaving the dungeon started running in the direction of the city and the return trip instead of taking him only 30min took him 2 hours, but he had no regrets because during these 2 hours, he had been able to enjoy the warmth of Kevin's body against him.historical

Before coming back to the hotel he stopped in the forest around the city to retrieve his magic bag, and once in his hotel room he put Kevin on the bed and undressed him for him to be more comfortably installed.

After covering him with a blanket he checked the time and it was only 10pm, he decided to go to the place where the monster bodies were redeemed, after all this place was open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
