The monster fell to its back on the ground, and Billy saw many of his skills leveling up quite a bit. He didn\'t notice anyone getting seriously hurt. Still, he decided to check the others just to be sure, even though his hands and belly were hurting like hell. The others were in similar conditions. The kick of the guardian fractured a few ribs. There were some scratches here and there, but nothing too serious.
"Yay! We did it!" Kate raised her arms upward and then said it.
"Hell yeah, that was a good fight," Marie said.
Aside from those two, the others felt satisfied without expressing too much emotion. They were tired… that month had been a long one. In any case, once the noise was over, the helpers felt safe in entering the last room of the dungeon. While there weren\'t many signs of destruction, they gulped when they saw the boss. Considering the sight and how much noise there was during the battle, it was only natural that the monster put up one hell of a fight.
"Hey, Billy, look at those," Alexander said while pointing to the claws of the monster.
"No marks… those are sturdy as hell," Billy frowned.
"My daggers were made by a blacksmith that used one of those. Until now, they never suffered any damage," Marie said. "I would say that those are even more powerful, so selling them would be a waste. Anyway, let\'s forget about that and celebrate! Let\'s rent a tavern and run wild!"
"Nah, I am… well, maybe that isn\'t a half-bad idea," Billy said.
Billy recalled about Alexander\'s situation, so he decided that a party would be good. They wouldn\'t work together for a while, after all. Billy didn\'t dislike parties in his previous life, but currently, he felt like it would be a waste to miss a single day of training. Nevertheless, his friends frowned since that wasn\'t like Billy, but they weren\'t against it.
They left the dungeon while it was still trembling. As usual, the core was changing its layout after the guardian was defeated. The people outside seemed relieved thanks to it, but then they frowned when they saw the body of the new boss. Marie decided to take it to the guild and then tell someone to study it.
A few hours later, the group was with many other people and was drinking in the biggest tavern of the town. Apparently, it was the place all the adventurers gathered at night, so many rough-looking individuals were there while drinking like there was no tomorrow since Marie proudly declared that she would pay for all the drinks on that night.
At first, Billy\'s friends avoided alcohol since they were young and they were far away from home, but after a while, they relaxed and began to drink quite a bit. Only Billy was sober since he had to make sure that those morons would find their rooms once the party was over.
"I am saying… It was awesome!" Alexander said while showing a weird expression on his face. "Trading blows with the target with a spear is… bam, bam, and then bam… that is awesome."
Some adventurers were listening to Alexander and nodding while understanding. Billy wondered what they were understanding since he wasn\'t making any sense. Then again, maybe they were just reacting to his words since they were quite wasted as well. He was quite meek, but now that his awareness wasn\'t holding him back anymore, he talked about fighting passionately.
Billy looked toward another table, and then he saw the girls talking with Marie. Basically, at every three sentences, Marie would laugh loudly for whatever reason. There were people like that that found everything funny when they were drunk. Lily was already drinking with her head on the table. She was weak to alcohol, apparently. As for the other three… Sarah was drinking cup after cup as if she had left a desert, not a dungeon. After a while, she fell asleep as well… one could only endure so much alcohol. As for Billy, he was drinking alone some juice of that fruit that restored mana. It was a bit expensive, but it tasted sour and sweet like lemon, so it made him recall home for a short while.. No one was approaching him since someone sober always looked boring.
