Galaxy's First Ruler

Chapter 68: Choice

Aldrich couldn't believe that the son of Poseidon and husband of Philonoe, the princess of Lycia, was not a man.

How could history be so wrong? Another thought that kept repeating itself was even scarier for him. If the facts were indeed wrong, then what other lies the written history had been speaking to him? The thoughts of Boss's gender had still occupied Aldrich's mind when the notification flashed in front of him.

He got to know why the Record had put up such a Quest. Having sex with the Boss was no less than saying Survive one of its Skill. The Quest was hard enough for the Raid during the Bright-Day by a Party of Rare Dreamers. But Aldrich didn't just want to complete the Quest, rather, he wanted to evolve within this Dungeon.

The reason for which he had brought Boomie with him was to break up the Party just before entering Boss's chamber. The result was as expected by Aldrich. RECORD had created 2 Bosses as per the changed Quests. Unfortunately, the Quests didn't change for them.

Quest 4 (optional): Have sex with Boss Crawler

...]

Boomie approached him and also looked at the same notification. An illusory red-armillary sash had appeared around his shoulders and it waved like having a mind of its own. They both looked in the same direction when Boomie asked.

"What to do now?"

Aldrich did not know the answer to this question. For him, killing the two Crawlers was a task he couldn't avoid, even if he wanted to. From getting Ranked up to getting two more Darkness seeds, as he had named them, both were equally important. Aldrich had been postponing the creation of another Skill or Item just to Rank up.

Aldrich walked in the direction above which two winged creatures were majestically flying. Even from afar, he could make out the legendary Pegasus. If the sky were to be white, none could have seen them. The purity of their color couldn't be compared to anything else.

Both the Dreamers walked for a good part of an hour before they saw something other than cracks in the ground and streams of lava.

There were two huts in front of them. Ordinary in appearance, but the waves of Mana coming out of them were anything but normal. Before they could go any nearer, two sizzling beauties came out from each hut. One of them had a blue armor on her chest and a short blue skirt, the other had a red armor and a red skirt. Apart from these details, their appearance was exactly the same.

Both had emerald eyes, silver hair, and a catching redness on their faces. The heavy breathing made their plump breasts rise and fall seductively. Their thighs were smooth and gave an impulse to take a bite of them. Combined with the long boots and the voluptuous hips, Aldrich didn't know who could call them one of the greatest slayers of the myth.

"I want the masked one."

The Red Bellerophon pointed towards Aldrich and said to the other Boss. The Blue Bellerophon gave Boomie a deep look and shrugged. It seemed both had an obvious goal to achieve first, before slaying the two Dreamers in front of them.

Aldrich looked at their Stats and got to know the source of their unmatched arrogance.

"Humph! I don't think these two were worth sacrificing a Skill."

The Blue one said, tilting her head from one side to the other. Aldrich found the hidden meaning in the sentence the moment he heard it. It meant that the Boss Crawler got to know about them as soon as they had entered the Dungeon and not the Boss's chamber. And the requirement to see the actual notification was to enter the Mana field.

An even more obvious fact that got revealed to both of them was that the Quests they had got weren't as impartial as they had thought. If the Blue Bellerophon's words were true, then the Bosses had sacrificed a Skill to RECORD for this particular Quest.

Aldrich wasn't unfamiliar with the concept of sacrifice, but he didn't know this could be done with the RECORD, too.

"Oi, didn't you hear what I just said?"

The Red Bellerophon flicked her hair and narrowed her eyes towards Aldrich. It was clear what she had been referring to. The words that she had spoken weren't a request, but a command. A command from the demigod itself.

"You either do it willingly, or unwillingly. The ease of your death would depend on your cooperation."

The Blue Bellerophon picked up the Bone spear resting on the hut's wall. The redness on both of the Crawler's faces was increasing by seconds. Aldrich heard the cracking of knuckles as the Red Boss also held up the Bone Spear. By hook or by crook, the mythical hero would have satisfying sex today.

Aldrich and Boomie looked at each other and dashed in the opposite direction. There was no way either of them could trust the words of a Crawler. Aldrich had reached only a few hundred meters when he heard the neighing of horses behind him.

NEIGHHH!!!

Aldrich used his Divine Sense to look behind him and couldn't help but turn around. His heart skipped a beat as he saw the Boss Crawlers. For the first time, he felt the horror of the RECORD.

Unlike the norm, the two Bosses didn't separate and chased him, but had gone for Boomie on their own. Aldrich saw as both of the ravishing beauties had their foot on Boomie's chest and were giving him a mocking look.

The Red Bellerophon pointed her spear at Aldrich and her sweet but dreadful voice reached Aldrich's ear.

"Sex or Death, choose."
