Chapter 142: Cosplay Dress

Amon sat on the train and leaned back against his seat, watching the scenery outside slowly pass by through the window.

The rhythmic movement of the train made the journey surprisingly comfortable.

Seraphina sat beside him, he had little reason to complain about the long trip.

The system screen was open in front of him as he looked through his current stats.

Amon nodded his head slowly. ’I really have progressed quite a lot.’

Over the last two days, he had focused almost entirely on strengthening his Spirit, and he had to admit that the results weren’t bad at all.

He had managed to increase his Spirit by four points in only two days.

The changes brought by the Spirit Lord Physique had made him even more curious about what his Spirit could eventually become.

His gaze eventually shifted toward another stat.

----

Luck: 9.

----

It had remained the same since the very beginning.

Amon stared at it for several seconds. ’I wonder what would happen if I actually increased this.’

He had always been tempted to put points into Luck, especially because the system had never properly explained what the stat could do.

There was also the possibility that increasing it might lead to some ridiculous lucky encounters.

Perhaps he would suddenly discover a treasure or maybe he would stumble across a powerful artifact.

Amon stared at it for a moment before he thought. ’Maybe I can finally experience some of those legendary luck-pervert moments I read about in novels.’

Amon’s expression became slightly hopeful. ’Five points should be enough to test it.’

He assigned five of his available points to Luck. The number changed.

----

[Luck: 14]

----

Amon waited and waited but nothing happened.

Amon stared at the number for several seconds before letting out a disappointed sigh. "Seriously?"

There was no sudden treasure falling from the ceiling, no mysterious beautiful woman appearing in front of him, and not even a strange system notification.

Apparently, Luck wasn’t nearly as entertaining as he had imagined.

Amon closed the system screen with a slightly disappointed expression.

"What are you doing?" A voice suddenly came from beside him.

Amon turned his head and saw Seraphina looking at him curiously.

He chuckled and shook his head. "Nothing important."

Seraphina narrowed her eyes slightly. "Then why were you smiling like that?"

Amon looked at her for a moment before smiling even brighter. "I was just thinking about how beautiful you look today."

Seraphina’s expression soften a lot as a faint blush appeared across her cheeks as she gently punched his shoulder.

"Don’t say things like that so suddenly."

Amon smiled.

Seraphina was wearing a simple white blouse beneath a dark fitted jacket, paired with a short pleated skirt and dark stockings that gave her a neat academy-student appearance.

Her blue hair was tied loosely behind her, with a few strands falling naturally around her face.

She looked out through the train window, seemingly trying to hide the blush that had appeared on her cheeks.

After a few seconds, she spoke again. "Do you like to go dungeon diving with me?"

Amon smiled shaking his head. "I just like being with you. Besides, a dungeon is probably the best place for us to be alone."

Seraphina remained silent for a moment.

The scenery outside continued passing by as the train moved toward their destination.

After a while, she turned her head toward him. "I talked with my mother."

Amon blinked. "What did she say?"

Seraphina’s expression became complicated. "She told me to be careful."

Amon stared at her. "That’s it?"

Seraphina nodded her head.

"She didn’t lecture you?" Amon sounded genuinely surprised.

He had spent enough time around Felicia to know that she was an extremely strict woman when it came to her daughter.

Amon had expected Seraphina to receive an entire speech after everything that had happened.

Seraphina simply shook her head. "She didn’t."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Even though she was disappointed, she never raised her voice at me." Seraphina looked down at her hands. "She just explained everything she was worried about in a calm voice."

Amon blinked in surprise. That wasn’t quite what he had expected from Felicia.

Seraphina then looked toward him. "Mother also warned me that you will break my heart one day."

Amon smiled faintly. "I would never do that."

Seraphina looked at him for a few seconds before giving him a small smile. "I won’t let you."

Amon raised an eyebrow. "That sounds more like a threat."

"It is."

Amon chuckled softly.

Seraphina quickly changed the subject before the conversation could return to her mother.

"Did you book a room?"

Amon’s expression froze. "...I forgot."

Seraphina stared at him before she covered her mouth as a quiet laugh escaped her. "I knew you would."

"You already booked one?"

"I did."

Amon leaned closer with an teasing smile. "Someone can’t wait, huh?"

Seraphina’s face immediately turned red. "That’s not why I did that."

"Sure."

"It isn’t." Amon laughed quietly before leaning back into his seat. "I also brought the cosplay dress for you."

Seraphina turned toward him. "What cosplay dress?"

Amon smiled mysteriously. "You’ll see."

She narrowed her eyes. "Amon."

"I’m not telling you."

She stared at him for a few seconds before looking away with a small pout.

"Pervert."

"Says the woman with a vibrator up her--"

"Shut up!?"

---

Several hours later, Amon and Seraphina stood outside the dungeon entrance.

The dungeon had formed in a rocky area several kilometers away from the nearest settlement, surrounded by patches of dry grass and scattered trees.

A dark stone structure stood in the center of the area.

Its entrance resembling a large natural cave with faint traces of mana leaking from the depths.

Several adventurers could be seen preparing their equipment nearby, while others were returning from the dungeon with tired expressions.

Amon looked toward Seraphina. "Ready?"

Seraphina tightened her grip around her staff and nodded. "I’m ready."

Amon smiled as he rested his battleaxe against his shoulder. "Maximum effort."

He stepped toward the entrance.

Seraphina followed beside him, and the two entered the dungeon together.

The moment they crossed the entrance, the temperature dropped slightly.

The stone walls were damp, and faint blue crystals embedded in the rock provided just enough light to illuminate the path ahead.

They hadn’t even walked very far when movement suddenly appeared deeper inside.

Several figures emerged from the darkness.

Amon’s eyes widened.

The creatures had the upper bodies of women and the lower bodies of snakes, their scales dragging against the stone floor as they moved toward the two adventurers.

Their appearance was strange enough on its own, but their breasts were also exaggeratly big.

In a way that made them look almost deliberately designed to distract anyone who encountered them.

Amon stared for a second longer than he should have.

His newly awakened spiritual perception reacted almost immediately, sharpening his senses as he analyzed the creatures.

’....Holy fucking boobies.’

Seraphina glanced at him. "Amon?"

Amon quickly tightened his grip around his battleaxe. "Nothing."

His expression became serious again as the snake-like creatures began surrounding them.

"...Let’s just get this over with."
