BXBX NOVEL Chapter 53 - Supplies
Yuki stood up from his cross legged sitting position and began to stretch. He had been exhausted however he also didn\'t want to rest.
"Where are you going now?" Meurig asked.
"I\'m gonna go explore the forest a little," Yuki lied.
Yuki had already thoroughly explored the forest. There was nothing that he hadn\'t seen before. The real reason he wanted to get away from there was because Yuki wanted to hunt some monsters. Even if they didn\'t give him much exp, Yuki still wanted to kill monsters. The overwhelming feeling of excitement he receives when he kills was too great to let go off. He knew that he enjoyed killing humans more than monsters, but he didn\'t want to gain the attention of major righteous groups so he decided to settle for monsters.
Yuki leaped on to the nearest branch he could find to gain the high ground. Once he had done that, Yuki jumped from one branch to the other as he hunted down the gobins which roamed the forest. Yuki thought about using one of his swords however he scratched that idea as he would enjoy killing with his bare hands. The look of helplessness from other\'s eyes as they beg for mercy fueled his god complex. The Yuki in front of Meurig and the one which hunted monsters were completely two different people. There was no trigger for the sudden change in attitude, Yuki just knew to suppress his emotions around others. That was how he managed to survive in his previous life. All of the rage he had bottled up during that time began to leak and take out its resentment on others.
After only 40 minutes, Yuki killed the last monster within the forest using his bare fists. Just as he had done that, one of the zombified wolves approached him.
"My king, I have found the next dungeon," the wolf telepathically communicated to Yuki.
"Are you sure it\'s the next one on the list of dungeons? There is a level gap between all of the dungeons, if we don\'t follow the right order, I could end up dead," Yuki explained to his servant.
"Yes my liege, I have entered and left the dungeon myself to make sure I haven\'t got it wrong," the wolf proudly replied.
"Good job," Yuki congratulated the wolf.
The zombified wolf was beyond overjoyed. A simple compliment could invoke so much emotion. The crown was truly a terrifying object. An item which can not only make monsters obey someone but also allow them to have conversations and simulate fake emotions. It was beyond broken.
"Now take me back to Meurig and we can start heading to the new dungeon," Meurig commanded the wolf.
The wolf nodded and lowered itself so Yuki could sit on it\'s back. The rotting flesh of the wolf did smell horrible however Yuki had gotten used to it after spending 3 whole weeks in a dungeon full of the undead. The wolf used its strong sense of smell to return Yuki back to the place which Meurig was stationed at.
Sleeping on the ground was the kind and righteous shadowy figure. He was sound asleep, probably having the best dream of his life. Meurig didn\'t want to show his emotions in front of Yuki however, he was thrilled that he got to see the outside world. Meurig wanted to explore the world and enjoy its many wonders however his self centred partner was only focused on constantly leveling up.
"Well I guess he really is asleep. I\'ll have to wait until tomorrow morning to leave," Yuki said to the wolf once they had arrived at the location.

Yuki pulled out "King\'s Crown\' from his inventory and placed it on his head. He telepathically commanded all of the zombified wolves to return to the crown except for the one that had found the location of the next dungeon. The zombified wolves did as they were told and began to deform to a white liquid as they began to return to the crown.
Feeling accomplished, Yuki sat down on the ground to catch his breath.

"Only an increase of 4300 exp, that\'s a shame," Yuki sighed.
While Yuki was disappointed at the exp he had earned, he was satisfied as he had accomplished his main goal which was to let out some steam. Yuki returned his crown back into his inventory before going to sleep himself.
The next morning, Yuki was awakened to the light tapping of someone\'s fingers. When he readjusted himself to see who it was, he could see the face of his shadow friend.
"We should get started early," Meurig told Yuki.
Yuki yawned as he was still tired but he knew that Meurig was right.
[Open inventory]
Yuki pulled out 2 toothbrushes as well as 2 toothpaste. Yuki also pulled out two water bottles so they could wash their face and clean up. He gave one to Meurig and took one for himself.
"I got some extra supplies before we left since our journey will be a long one," Yuki said.
"Thank you," Meurig replied.
"Did you happen to get a tent as well? It was a bit too cold last night, if I have to do that one more time, I might catch a cold," Meurig said.
"Nope," Yuki said as he smiled with an evil expression.
"Why? How could you forget a tent but remember toothbrushes?" Meurig asked.
"It wasn\'t on my mind at the time. If it\'s really that important to you, I can send the king from the 8th stage to go get extra supplies while we\'re in the dungeon. He\'s basically completely human unlike the other monsters so it\'ll be fine," Yuki suggested.
"Thank you... again," Meurig was a bit embarrassed as he demanded a lot of things from Yuki.
"Don\'t worry about it, think of it as my way of thanking you for helping me in the dungeons," Yuki honestly smiled at his monster friend.
[Open inventory]
Yuki pulled out "King\'s Crown" from his inventory and called out for 1 of the 4 kings he had pre-summoned before for his operation to escape from the kingdom.
"Serve your king!"
The humanoid figure began to form as it kneeled before it\'s king.
"How may I serve you today my liege?" the king asked.
"We just need some extra supplies. For now just go back to the kingdom and get us a tent, you should know the directions since our minds are shared. If we need anything else, I\'ll telepathically contact you," said Yuki.
[Extract: 10000 silver]
Yuki handed a pouch full of silver to the king before finally sending him off for supply shopping.
