There were no torches or any other source of light, so Alan created few small Fire Balls and he placed them all around them to light the way.
As soon as Kevin started to go down the stair, he felt the presence of a very powerful evil being, he could only describe it that way because that aura he felt made every hair on his body stand up, and it was like if all his senses had gone on red alert.
But he still had to be far away, because otherwise the System would have probably already sent him a warning notification, well that was what he thought.
He looked at Axel who also seemed tense because of this presence and when he caught his gaze, Axel told him guessing his thoughts : "He's still far away babe, don't be scared, and he won't come to defend his Vampires, for him they are only servants and it's enough to keep some females with him to reconstitute his nest."
Kevin nodded, trusting Axel completely, and once they got to the bottom of the stair, Axel guided them to the nearest place where he felt the presence of Vampires and with Alan they stayed behind letting Kevin and Erik fight to their heart's content.
They continued their progression killing absolutely everything standing in their way.
When they finally stumbled upon some Warrior Vampires guarding a door, Axel and Alan neutralized them the same way they had dealt with the sentries outside the mansion, and Kevin and Erik executed them sharing the experience points.
Alan opened the door which was not locked but curiously he closed it immediately and said to Axel : "Carry on without me, I'll take care of this place, I'll join you back in a little while."
Erik quickly said to him : "I'm staying with you my love."
But Alan to his surprise rejected his offer : "Go with them, I promise I won't be long."
Kevin could see that Alan was determined so he took Erik by the elbow and forced him to follow them, he turned and looked at Alan in the eyes to make him understand that he knew what was behind that door and that he thanked him for taking care of it.
Other than a nursery he didn't see what these Warrior Vampires could have protected, and the fact that Alan wanted to prevent Erik from finding out showed how much he loved him and care for him.
Axel quickly found other Vampires to keep Erik from thinking too much about it as he too had guessed what was probably behind that door, and Alan joined them even before they had both finished fighting.
Kevin decided to watch how many Vampires they still had to kill even though he already suspected that there might not be many left as the evil aura of this dungeon boss was growing more and more powerful.
[ OPTIONAL QUEST 2 ]
Warning : the dungeon will close in 16 hour 17 minutes 34 seconds
Kill all the demons inside the dungeon : 308 / 320
When Kevin announced this to everyone, there was no doubt that the next battle would be in the boss room.
Axel then said to Kevin : "Babe, give us all a Mind Protection potion high grade, I'm not confident enough to be sure to resist his mental attacks when we will be so close to him.
And the effects for the both of you will soon dispel so it's better to take another one before the final fight."
Kevin nodded and gave to everyone a Mind Protection potion that they all drank right away, Axel continued to give his instructions even though everyone already suspected the strategy to follow : "With Alan we will take care of the dungeon boss ...
Babe, as soon as you get the notifications on the Vampires inside the room just give me their level, with Erik you are going to have to be very careful, all the remaining Vampires must be extremely powerful, much more powerful than the two of you."
Kevin had already suspected it, so far the Warrior Vampire level 75 that they had faced before entering the mansion had been the most powerful one.
So it was easy to assume that those protecting the boss of this dungeon were as strong as him and probably even stronger.
Kevin then said : "You will have to start attacking the dungeon boss on your own, we will need Alan with us.
I will be really surprised if we are able to fight them alone."
Alan then said something that surprised everyone and Erik instantly paled : "I will be the one fighting him while Axel will help you to kill the rest of the Vampires ..."
He stopped speaking when he saw the distress in Erik's eyes, he sighed and hugged him : "It's going to be okay sweetheart, I'm the most qualified to fight him, thanks to this sword my fire spells are almost unlimited and Vampires fear the fire …"
He took his chin and kissed him passionately : "When you're done with the rest of the Vampires, I want you and Kevin not to intervene … If things go wrong, I want you to get out of here with him righ away, is that clear !"
Erik immediately replied : "Never without you ! But it was very clear my love."
Kevin tried to stifle his laughter but Alan heard it anyway and he looked really frustrated, so he took Axel by the hand and they gave them some more privacy.
Kevin agreed with Alan, this was the best strategy plan, but he also agreed with Erik that he would never left his man here.
When Alan saw that Kevin was walking out of the room with Axel, he returned his full attention to Erik's face, which had remained extremely serious and determined.
He then rested his forehead against his and looked at him in the eyes, saying : "You are pissing me off, you know that right, shame that I can't punish you right away."
Erik put his hands behind his neck and said : "Well, I will let you punish me all you want once we will get home, how does that sound for you ?"
Erik saw the effect of his sentence instantly reflect in Alan's eyes, he didn't even try to hide his desire from him, on the contrary that smile he knew so well started to appear on his lips and Erik knew that if they ever made it out alive, he probably wouldn't be able to go to practice tomorrow.
Alan bit Erik's lower lip, then he ran his lips over his skin until he reached his Adam's apple.
