My Yandere Wives are Transcendents

Chapter 336: New Friends...?

"Damn it!!"

"Hurry up and destroy those fucking bones!!"

"I am really trying my best!!"

Asher Eli, Pearl Harper, and Arlyne O carefully peeked outside from the cave, observing a few people dressed in armour engaged in a fierce battle against the Thunderbonii.

"Should we help them?" Arlyne asked, her voice tinged with uncertainty.

"Let's wait until they need our help," Pearl suggested, her tone contemplative as she weighed their options.

"..." Eli simply nodded, his mind calculating the best course of action. Though part of him wanted to retreat back into the safety of the cave and continue to annoy Arlyne more, the sudden appearance of unexpected visitors presented a new.... Hope?

"Come on, David, what are you doing!!" A black-haired middle-aged man shouted, frustration evident in his voice as he wielded a heavy hammer against the onslaught of monsters.

"I-I am sorry, John, I need a little more time!!" Another man, named David, called back, struggling to cast a spell with his staff.

"Tsk, Hurry up!!" John clicked his tongue in annoyance, his eyes scanning their surroundings for any sign of danger. He then turned to their other companion, Lia, and barked orders, "Lia, I want you to create a barrier around us!!"

"Okay!" A White-haired beautiful woman, named Lia nodded determinedly, swiftly drawing a magic circle around her feet and casting the spell.

/Barrier/

A shimmering, protective barrier enveloped Lia and her companions, shielding them from the relentless assault of the skeletal monsters.

However,

'Crack, Crack'

Their respite was short-lived as the barrier began to crack under the relentless onslaught of the skeletons, causing Lia's expression to shift from determination to terror.

The skeletons covered them like a looming doom, crawling over the barrier with relentless determination.

Lia's expression morphed from determination to terror as she watched the barrier crack under the pressure, while John continued to shout at David to cast a spell and reinforce their defenses.

"Eli?" Pearl glanced at Eli.

Eli met her gaze, understanding the silent question in her eyes. He knew she was asking whether they should intervene and assist the struggling group.

Of course, under different circumstances, he might have been tempted to ignore their plight, but he couldn't ignore the opportunity to get useful information.

He was willing to intervene.... even if it meant aiding only ONE person.

Before they could act, however, a sudden change occurred.

/Mind unravel/

In an instant, the skeletons ceased their relentless assault, collapsing lifelessly to the ground like discarded puppets.

As the two beautiful women approached, both David and John couldn't help but gulp nervously, their tired throats betraying their apprehension.

Observing Eli's lean body, David and John quickly realized that this handsome man was sucked by those two beautiful women. They exchanged knowing glances.... not knowing it was far from the truth.

Meanwhile, Lia couldn't help but snort at the two men's reactions, finding their unease amusing. She turned her gaze towards Eli, her eyes shimmering with a hint of fascination as if she too were drawn in by his charm.

"Could you guys tell us where we are?" Arlyne's voice cut through the tension, her eyes fixed in a glare directed at Eli.

Arlyne shot Eli a disapproving glance. He was supposed to be friendly with them, not antagonize them. Now, with his nonchalant attitude, Arlyne and Pearl weren't sure whether David and John would tell the truth or provide some other evasive response.

Arlyne glared at Eli before addressing David and John with a serious tone, "Could you guys tell us where we are?" she asked, her frustration evident in her expression.

Eli, instead of being cooperative, shrugged his shoulders with a carefree attitude, much to Arlyne and Pearl's dismay.

David, sensing the tension, nervously cleared his throat before responding, "W-We were in the dungeon."

"..."

"..."

Both Arlyne and Pearl blankly stared at David, their expressions silently conveying, 'Yeah, we already knew that!'

'Thud'

"Ouch!"

John hit David's head in frustration, prompting him to provide more useful information, "W-We are in the 'S' Rank dungeon called Dead Boltborne."

Pearl frowned upon hearing the name, immediately reaching for her documents to see if there was any relevant information.

"Where is that?" Eli interjected, keen to understand their precise location.

"..." John hesitated, but when he saw Eli taking a step, he reluctantly divulged, "The dungeon is located in Theos Kingdom."

Upon hearing this, Eli's suspicions were confirmed. The involvement of both the Dawn Kingdom and Theos Kingdom in this matter became clear to him.

Arlyne's expression shifted from surprise to resignation as she processed this information. She had hoped that Theos Kingdom wasn't involved in their predicament, but it seemed that reality was often disappointing.

"Eli," Pearl's voice cut through the awkward atmosphere, her tone serious as she tapped Eli's shoulder.

Eli nodded in understanding. With a gentle smile, he invited them to join them back at their cave.

"Well..." Though initially sceptical, the trio reluctantly agreed, unable to shake off the unsettling feeling that Eli's smile seemed to conceal something deeper.

They reluctantly agreed...

However,

Leading them back to the cave, Eli unknowingly led a tiger to its den.... unaware of the consequences his actions might bring.
