Chapter 694: Intermission- Hunting Riklan And Co.
Mary's lips thinned into a line as she watched her Young Mistress punish the pieces of trash that were in front of her.
The pieces of trash that dared to betray her Young Mistress and claimed the treasure mimic's spoils for themselves.
She had intended to deal with them herself the moment they pushed her in but she had been more focused on the Young Mistress's safety back then and teleported herself directly to her.
There had been no need for her to intervene yet since the Young Mistress managed to fight her way back to the floor that she was pushed from and even did a great job of punishing them as well.
Mary was a little surprised that the Young Mistress could show such a level of ruthlessness but as the daughter of the Madam, it was something that she decided was natural in the end.
While the Young Mistress was gloating at the pieces of trash and preparing to toss them into the hole, Mary noticed that the trash named Riklan had sneakily crawled over to the chest and used the Young Mistress's bag to turn it into a plate again.
He then quickly took it back out to hide it inside his clothes before laying back down on the ground. check out m-v-l-e-m-p-y-r
Mary could not help but feel a little impressed at how greedy some people could be even in a situation like this.
Their chances of survival were already at an all time low but this Mahun still thought that he could steal the chest and escape with his life.
She then hid her presence and slipped three tracking artefacts on each of the pieces of trash, ensuring that she would be able to find them afterwards.
The Young Mistress then proceeded to toss each of them into the hole while Riklan chose to toss himself into the hole instead as his last act of defiance.
The Trasif maid watched the Young Mistress look confused at Riklan's actions until she realised that her treasure chest was missing.
She then quickly grabbed her Pack of Folding before jumping into the hole with Mary following closely behind.
She quickly realised that the hole did not lead to the same location as before which meant that those pieces of trash must have ended up in a different location as well.
Mary felt relieved that she had placed those tracking artefacts on the three pieces of trash before they were thrown in the hole. Otherwise she might also have a hard time finding them.
But as much as she would like to head towards where they were to dish out punishment on them for tricking her Young Mistress yet again, she had to prioritise the Young Mistress's safety first.
Thus, she stuck to the Young Mistress as she picked a path to follow, ending up in front of what seemed to be the Dungeon's final boss.
Naturally, she watched over the Young Mistress defeat the final boss and there were several moments that she felt she needed to jump in to help her but she pulled through on her own at the end, clearing the Dungeon all on her own.
With the Dungeon cleared, Mary expected the Young Mistress to return to the surface so she decided to leave the guarding of the Young Mistress to the other guards who were following her and for her to search for the Dungeoneers who had betrayed the Young Mistress instead.
The first one she targeted was the rogue known as Kaelin.
Mary shook her head, wondering if their entire party was made up of idiots before leaping towards the fleeing mage.
For this one in particular, Mary decided to simply knock her down onto the ground, the mage falling flat on her face as the Head Maid kicked her from behind.
Before the mage could even try to push herself up, Mary had lifted her foot and smashed her heel down on the mage's head, completely crushing it into pieces with a loud splat.
She took a moment to clean herself of the blood before resuming her hunt.
With two of her targets down, she was now left with the actual leader of the party to finish off.
The artefact led her to another floor and she found the leader within a minute of reaching that floor.
Riklan was feeling quite smug about being able to steal the chest from under the maid's nose so he was feeling quite proud of himself at that moment.
He had almost wanted to take out the chest and bask in the glory of obtaining it until he remembered he had no reliable method to transport it in its chest form.
Thus, he was prioritising looking for an exit but he then came across another maid blocking his path.
His eyes widened, "You... You're the Head Maid of the Nilm Family!"
Mary felt amused by his reaction, "It seems like you know who I am. That means you know what should happen next right?"
"Over my dead body!" He roared, drawing his sword to point at Mary defensively.
"That's the plan."
Mary moved forward and snapped the blade in half almost casually before striking the man in the abdomen with a fist that she had enlarged and hardened.
The man literally had his stomach blown open, leaving a gaping hole at where his stomach used to be.
Mary then casually took the plate that contained the chest out from within his clothes before walking away and leaving the corpse behind.
She could have chosen to knock them all out and bring back to the mansion for more torture but they were not worth the risk of letting the Young Mistress finding out about them surviving the Dungeon so Mary decided to kill all of them.
As for the chest, the Head Maid decided to hand it over to the Madam, though she suspects that the Madam will keep it somewhere as the Young Mistress's private funds for the future.
Not that it was Mary's business in regards to that, of course.
Now she should leave here and report to the Madam about this.
