Chapter-36: fire spell trap, stealing from protagonist Robert
(Is it because of that my body is not heating up? Did something happen to me? Don't tell me that the bastard that chained me before did something to me causing me problem in my pleasure life…) Robert has some wild thoughts in his heart.
Ratika watched his actions and thoughts. She smiled knowingly in her heart happily. After few minutes the lock was finally opened and Robert wanted to come and take a look. His thoughts are successfully distracted from his previous way of thinking.
When he came over to look Ratika stopped him again and used the steel spear to open the wooden treasure chest while telling him again to be careful when opening the treasure chest because it has traps.
"Gusss… crip…. Bhooom…"
As soon as the wooden treasure chest is open she saw a flame spell shooting out. Ratika dodged in time and the spell fell to the side turning into an area into a burning hell. It is not a powerful spell but the effect is no different than pouring petrol and lighting it.
Robert was really stunned. If he had opened the box just now he would have been hit by this flame spell and he would have at least burned to a certain extent. He felt grateful for Ratika (Jessica for him) and this entire thought process from stunning to thinking took few moments.
Ratika felt regretful that she did not let the protagonist Robert open the box and get burnt. But she was sure that if Robert opened the box nothing would happen. Also she was sure that these flames are directed towards her. This also means there are good things inside for Robert.
But it did not stop her taking a look inside the wooden box. She saw that there is a pair of gloves inside and they looked shining. She directly put her hand inside to put those gloves into her space and all the things in the wooden treasure chest.
Instead she replaced them with a bottle of water and a pack of normal bread quickly using space. When Robert noticed the actions of Ratika, he just came forward to look. Ratika took out the bottle of water and a pack of bread from inside right in front of Robert.
Robert saw that the wooden treasure chest is actually empty. He did not open a single treasure chest till now so he doesn't know what will be inside through firsthand experience. But based on his men that filled him with information he knows that it is normal.
Yes wooden treasure chest would not yield much. He felt hungry at this time as he was going around all the time without eating much yesterday. He was already starved for two days by Ratika. So he felt quite hungry at this moment.
Ratika on the other hand directly gave them to Robert and said "It can be compensation for killing your goblin monster and taking its experience points. Even though they are little I cannot return them. So I will give you this.
I have my buns with me for eating later. Should we continue to look for other rooms?" Ratika asked casually. But Robert snatched the pack in her hand quickly and started to eat the bread and drank water quickly.
Ratika looked at it and knows that Robert must be starving. Ratika also felt that being a protagonist is not easy. After all they have to face countless things like a rollercoaster ride with ups and downs along with sharp turns.
But the danger would always come close and leave without doing anything. Instead it would make him or her stronger. Yes there is pain but there are benefits along with the pain. At least they are proportional to the pain.
Most people would not get anything from the pain or hard work. Instead it was looted by someone that is greedy. This greedy person would most likely be the protagonist or a villain. So Ratika hates the protagonist and villains alike.
In this current situation the villain has not appeared yet. Robert is not the only one that Ratika wanted to take revenge on. There is also a villain that has not appeared yet. Ratika did not show any thing on his face and they walked out of this place.
While Robert wolfed down on the bread they walked towards the boss room again and found a room where the adventurer did not come over yet. So they quickly moved in to start fighting against the goblins.
This time Ratika did not take advantage of the situation. She took her time and timed it perfectly to kill the goblin after the protagonist killed the goblin on his side. Naturally Ratika went to pick the lock.
She got more experience than before and improved a level in lock picking skill. She was surprised and felt happy for her improvement so quickly which was mostly attributed to the presence of the protagonist for putting pressure on her.
Ratika felt the joy while she cautiously used the steel spear to open the box. Inside there are some good thing along with a box of chicken wings, a coke with 2.25 L capacity, dungeon coins and even a minor healing potion.
Robert looked at the things that are placed inside neatly. He doubted the words of his men but soon he pushed those thoughts away and thought that they are lucky this time. He still missed the treasure chest that should belong to him was robbed by someone.
Ratika took out the things and they decided to divide the things on the spot. Since Ratika picked the lock she took extra dungeon coins. Health potion is common property of the team and Ratika carries it. As for food and drinks they decided to eat it on the spot.
Well they are steaming hot and looked tasty. They wanted o eat it. Right when they wanted to eat Robert saw that a woman appeared in the next room. Ratika knows who this woman is. She is the second heroine Aisha.
