I've already saved Sally twice from sneak attacks, and from what I can see. The Corrupted Divinity Sentinals are going after the weaker of the two of us. They have some form of intellect left of their ability to discern which of us is stronger.

Not that I'm happy about it, but I've already lost 430,000,000 health points from their attacks. The Corrupted Divinity Sentinals are powerful and more than capable of killing me if given time.

If Sally were to be attacked by one, she'd not suffer the same damage as me. Given how enemies in the Dungeons and non-Players have their damage dealt to Players scaled to their level. But that's not to say Sally can't be one shot.

Speaking of my lovely woman, she's following close behind with her sword drawn and ready for anything. She's been a help against the two Corrupted Divinity Sentinals we've already faced. My concerns lay with how long we'll be in this Dungeon.

"Look, I don't want to spend days in this place. So, I'm thinking about this key. It's on the highest floor of the Dungeon. Wherever that may be. I want you to try and keep up with my speed. I'll keep it at a limit you can handle."

I haven't turned around yet, and I can already feel the questions that Sally wants to ask. There is probably a great deal of treasure in this place, but that's not why we're here. We're looking to get answers for what Radueriel is. Who he is.

"I'm not going to argue with you about that. This Dungeon is something you want to do. But just remember, I'll be there for you no matter what we find."

It's nice to have someone like this in my life. Even though I know I can survive without her. Sally makes things better for me. Less boring.

~~~(Time: 7:08 PM)~~~

The tryouts have ended for the day, and I'm absolutely certain that the tryouts will be over after tomorrow. Marcus and I didn't have any matches today, and neither did Rianna. Odds are good we'll have them tomorrow.

Several million Players have already done their tryouts today, and I'm shocked we got through them so fast. The system runs it, so I guess that means it'll run efficiently.

Marcus and I are back in our room, and Rianna is in her room. I can tell she's grown more nervous as the day went on. She has seen some of the skills the Players had in the tryout. Makes sense she'd be intimidated given her limited experience.

I lay down on my bed and let out a sigh of tiredness. Watching all those fights today sure made things boring. I'm looking forward to the chance to duel someone too. The 2v2 battles will start after the 1v1 tryouts are done tomorrow.

Given the rate at which the system is organizing everything, it shouldn't take more than a few hours. I've spoken to the AI behind the system before. She's the one that told me I'd be the one to guide Cera when the time came.

That's probably going to be a long time from now, given that he's on another Continent from me. Angelus didn't answer many questions I had at the time, and most of what she said is still a mystery to me.

"When do you suppose Rianna will crack?"

The sudden and strange question from Marcus catches me off guard. I lean up in my bed and look across the room to see him looking at the ceiling. I don't know what's brought on his thoughts about this, but I'm starting to see something in my brother.

Not love or care for Rianna. If anything, he's neutral about her. But I see him watching her, and I know that he's spent time thinking about her.

"What's brought this on? You're not one to usually think or talk about others outside the family. Even with Rianna, given the time she's spent with us."

My other brother Cera would probably stay quiet after my question. Luckily, Marcus isn't quite like Cera yet. He leans up in bed too, and looks at me with a soft but tired expression.

He's changed a lot since we've been traveling together. Before we met up, he was helping a Kingdom. The Princesses of the Kingdom were said to be in love with him, but he didn't care. It was mostly innocent, given how young they all are.

The only reason I'm talking about this is cause Marcus is able to provide and defend himself. He doesn't need to ask or talk about other people.

"She's got her head in the gutters, and I'm starting to wonder if she was even committed to fighting in the tryouts and tournament in the first place. She's too weak mentally. She needs some sort of shock to her system to wake up her internal strength."

I agree with Marcus on that front. Even after Rianna showed improvement and drive for the tryouts after training her, I can still see the scared teenage girl who thinks she's all alone.

"Should I go and talk to her?"

His input could be valuable. He's a smart kid, and this is a good moment to see how he is regarding other people and their problems. Right now, he's showing problems. I don't regard avoiding people as a bad thing, but you need to know how to deal with others.

That's a basic function of every human being, and blending in is key.

"No, she's held your hand long enough. It's sink or swim at this point."

His lack of empathy is a trait that runs in the Adamo family. It may not seem like it, but my parents are similar to Marcus, Cera, and me. People don't usually see it cause they love us.

But when with strangers, they'll also show little disregard. But it's not a cruel kind.

"Alright, that seems like a fine idea to me."

I also believe it's time that I stop helping Rianna. She needs to learn to be strong on her own, and the tryouts tomorrow could be the perfect chance.

~~~(Time: 12:48 PM)~~~

Cera is still leading the way, and we've already been in the Dungeon for about 6 hours at this point. I can tell he's starting to get frustrated at the lack of progress. I went through something similar in the Trial.

The Book of Xeelia ended up being worth it in the end. I've upgraded my Class and gained a Book that will teach me more about Ice Magic.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were something similar in this Dungeon regarding Cera. The Radueriel identity has been eating away at him.

We continue traveling fast and attacking anything we come across for the next couple hours. But when we enter a new floor, I see a visible shift in Cera. Like something just happened.

"Do you hear that?"

Something has changed if he's asking me that. I don't hear a thing. He turns to look at me, and I can see he's waiting for an answer from me.

"Sorry, I don't hear anything, Cera... What is it?"

He turns away from me and shakes his head. As if trying to get whatever sound he's hearing to leave him alone. I'm actually starting to get worried about him now, and I place my hand on his back.

"What is it."

I repeat myself again, but this time it's not a question. But a demand from him.

"It sounds like singing..."

This is starting to get weird.
