> Warning: There is a foreign object in your body, leveling up cannot conclude.
- You risk dying of hemorrhaging.
- You risk dying due to the damage of your internal organs.
-Remove foreign object!!
Charymos’s body became stiff and collapsed on the ground, his trident, which still skewered Kaelen’s abdomen, fell on the ground as well, stabbing it and causing his body to slide down the length of its shaft until his back rested on the base of the trident’s fork.
"Urgh..."
His entire body trembled as he excruciatingly attempted to stand upright, each miniscule movement rearranging his innards, bringing forth unimaginable pain.
"Aargh..."
He was finally able to stand upright, but the worst was yet to come. Gauging the trident’s length, it made him dizzy as it seemed to endlessly protrude from his body. His own blood drenched his bare feet and some of his intestines hung loosely from him, swaying to his every motion.
"...S-shit..."
He dreaded it, but steeled his resolve nonetheless. He took a deep breath, grabbed it and pushed!
"Gargh!!!"
The shaft’s cold, metallic tang was no different from a barbed wire as it passed through his internal organs.
"Huff... Huff..."
One more push, and it’ll all be over. His body can finally regenerate, and he can erase this pain from his memory.
He thought he would have been much more accustomed to pain at that point. But pain was still pain, no matter how strong one is.
[Just one more push... Before my strength leaves me...]
"Argh!!!"
He pushed with all his strength, but the base of the trident’s shaft was stuck deep inside of his body, somewhere next to his liver, and so he reached behind and pulled, finally taking out its entire length.
Splat!
"Aaaarrrghhh!"
He wailed, daring not to look behind to investigate what part of him had fallen on the ground. He was still breathing, still conscious. That was all that mattered.
Thud...
"Gasp... Huff!... Gasp... Huff..."
He fell on his knees and regulated his breaths.
Sizzle! Squelch!
With every ragged breath he drew, the burden on his pain receptors was slightly alleviated. Bone, blood, tissue, organ, muscle, sinew, flesh and skin all regenerated in that order and his wound finally closed.
Thud...
He collapsed on his face and rolled on his back, his left hand gently caressing the smooth surface of his belly.
[I regenerated much faster than usual... Thank goodness.]
A bitter smile crept up his face and he —
Ding!

"S-so many skills..."
Kaelen’s cherry-pink eyes widened excitedly as he scrolled down his Status Window that displayed the rewards he reaped for his achievements.
"With this... I can finally get out of here..."
He looked up at the skies above which still bore scars of Megaloblatta’s spell.
He was so happy that he covered his face and shed a tear as he imagined the vast world outside, a world he yearned to explore to the fullest.
[Ah... By the way...]
He stood to his feet and walked over to where Megaloblatta was sprawled on the ground.
[He’s not doing too well...]
He looked down at the insectoid with pity.
[It’s a marvel that he’s still alive.]
The vitality of a cockroach was nothing to scoff at.
"I’m sorry, Megalo. I should have ended him sooner. Just hang on, I’ll go and look for a potion."
He turned his back and ran into one of the many passageways of the Basement Floor.

About twenty minutes later, Kaelen returned from raiding —Searching Charymos’s chambers for a potion and he came back with Veylith. The other Homunculi were far too terrified of him and scattered as soon as they laid eyes on him.
"..."
Veylith’s eyes widened as she laid eyes on Charymos’s corpse. She felt as though a part of her soul had been ripped from her.
Her cold heart abounded in sorrow and she slowly walked over to him, shed a tear from one eye and closed his.
"Goodbye... Master."
Those words escaped with a trembling voice.
[The Blood Pact really is a terrifying thing...]
Kaelen watched her mourn her deceased Master and turned his attention to Megaloblatta.
He then carefully gathered his limbs, attempting to piece him back together to the best of his ability.
"Here, can you drink?"
He gently poured a high-level health potion into Megaloblatta’s mandibles, followed by a Mana potion of equal potency.
Squelch... Squelch...
Megaloblatta’s hemolymph began stretching like webs, reattaching his limbs. freewebnσvel.cѳm
[It’ll take a while before he’s fully healed.]
"..."
[Time which I don’t have...]
Kaelen gently patted Megaloblatta’s head and stood upright.
"Thank you for everything... Take care."
Kaelen turned to walk away.
"I hope...t..to... see you... again..."
Megaloblatta forced himself to speak.
"Yeah. I hope to see you again some day too."
[You will actually, if that works outside of this Tower.]
Kaelen turned with a smile before walking towards Veylith.
"Hey... We should go now."
"..."
"You are still coming with me, right?"
He asked.
"Yes, of course."
She wiped away the one tear she had shed.
"Alright then, let’s — Ah! Before we go, why don’t you take this?"
He handed her one of Charymos’s tridents.
"..."
She stared at it for a few seconds before glancing at Charymos’s corpse and taking it.
"Now then..."
"...Let’s go Pig hunting."
Kaelen grinned and the two of them made their way to the First Floor.
