Chapter 642: [Lama's Resolve]

“Haha,” Seeing how cute Dakna was, Allen couldn’t help laughing.

However, he hurriedly asks her to stand up as seeing her kneeling caused his blood to boil in a strange way. Dakna and Lama were wearing quite skimpy clothing, and Allen could see their ample breasts clearly if they kneel down. Both of them were quite well endowed, and in this position, it seemed as if their breasts were straining against their clothes. Allen’s eyes were filled with the white flesh, which could conquer any man.

“Husband, this is a very good place,”

At this moment, Lama who was extremely fascinated by everything finally turned towards Allen with a beautiful smile. The tip of her tail, dipping on the boiling magma that could turn a normal human into a skeleton in just a second in which was for her, was just in the right amount of temperature. She looks around, like someone coming into a hot spring for the very first time. The heat and high temperature was almost a passing breeze for her.

She then scooted towards Allen and unlike the reserve Dakna, she embraced Allen without care and pressed her lips to his in a kiss—a soft touch of lips, then a hungry tangle of tongues. Lama pulled Allen closer. Allen smiled helplessly as he responded in kind. Gentle at first, although there was nothing gentle about her reaction. her fingers dug into his shoulders.

Time seemed to have stopped around the two people. They haven’t seen each other for a few weeks but it seemed like it was a year-long separation. Allen returned the kiss, running a hand down Lama's smooth back, as he tangled his fingers in Lama's hair, gently rubbing and massaging her scalp so Lama couldn't help but moaned in her mouth. Then, running his hands through her smooth back, Allen wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close as the kiss turned more passionate.

Almost immediately, the two of them could feel their bodies responding to each other, and each could feel the yearning and desire that lay beneath the surface, not only in themselves but in their partner as well.

Pulling back, Lama smiled at her lover.

"Have you even once missed me all this time…?" she began, her voice coated with blame and sorrow, "I must admit that I spent most of my time here thinking about you."

Allen chuckled. "Funny, I was spending most of my time thinking about you as well."

Despite knowing it was only half flattery, Lama laughed, pleased and satisfied. "Really now? Well, I was also wondering if a certain someone had already forgotten about me after playing with the other sisters…" she paused teasingly, "…I felt very hurt that you didn’t even have time to call me,"

Her hands slowly trailed down Allen’s chest as she said this.

Allen grinned. At the same time, his hand also went lower down Lama’s curvaceous form, eventually coming to rest on her firm ass cheeks.

"Of course not, I was just a bit busy these past few days that I don’t have time to play," he murmured. Then, his eyes which was once full of lust immediately reverted back to normal, "Although I wanted to spend time for now, but the problem is that I don’t think this is the right place and time for it…” he glanced around the hell-like place and then his gaze stopped over at Dakna who was watching their intimacy with feverish gaze.

"Our time should be in a good room, soft bed, night full of stars and a bottle of wine..."

Noticing Allen’s eyes, Dakna immediately lowered her eyes and started kicking the floor like a kid as if she was too embarrassed to look at Allen anymore. Allen laughed hard as he slowly separated from Lama.

“Anyway, we can enjoy our time after we return home,”

“Promise, okay?” Lama smiled happily.

Allen placed his hand on Lama’s face and gently rub his thumb on her cheek as he nodded.

However, even though he says that Allen and the others didn’t actually leave the area. Now that the entire place was safe after such a massacre, Allen doubts that other monsters would actually appear here again. Thus, this place should be quite safe for the time being. Then, without hesitation, Allen decided to stay here and cultivate for a while.

Allen sat cross-legged on the ground, while Lama immediately submerges herself on the boiling magma. Dakna and Xinghong, on the other hand, sat on each side of Allen.

The Mummy Lord wasn’t of flame affinity and thus, protecting them fell on his hands. Following Allen’s actions, the surrounding space immediately began to intensely fluctuate. The bright-red energy that could be seen with the naked eye surged in all directions. Finally, all of it fought to rush into Allen’s body—no, actually, into the Firebird’s core…

The moment this bright-red energy poured into Allen’s body, his shut eyes were suddenly opened. A wild joy and solemnness flashed in them. The degree of energy that filled this place had far exceeded his expectations. However, the wild violence within the energy had also exceeded his expectations.

If one absorbed too much of such energy, it was likely that it would affect one’s character. Moreover, such influence was something that Allen could not accept even if he would obtain a training speed that far exceeded his usual speed. To this problem, Allen was gratified from the Firebird’s existence. Because of the fact that the energy would be then absorbed by the Firebird’s Core, he would only be able to absorb leftover energy that cannot be absorbed by the beast’s core. Even still, this energy is not something to be underestimated.

This energy is the purest so there is, without the violent aspect of it, thus, Allen wouldn’t suffer any side effects of absorbing it. It was like planting, the nutrients of the soil will go to that plant, but the leaves will release pure oxygen that humans breathe in.

Allen’s mind looked at the hot energy that entered like a swarm. He sensed the weakened violence within; it was difficult to detect. Only then did he nodded his head with satisfaction. The density of the fire affinity energy within the magma world gave Allen a nice surprise. Moreover, the wild violence within the energy was resolved by the Firebird and he could absorb the energy without any fear.

According to this speed, Allen had the confidence that he would be able to break through 2nd Grade Mid God Realm!

One day…two days, three days… an entire three days of constant swallowing energy and refining his body using the flame energy around him, Allen felt a chain in his body losing up and then, slowly trembled, making clang! clang! clang! sounds, like a hymn of the archangels. Allen’s tightly shut eyes were slowly opened. Some fiery heat flashed through his crimson blood eyes. A mouthful of hot air followed his throat before slowly being scattered.

Cracked! Moving his arm, his body made a cracking noise. 2nd Grade Mid God! He finally broke through—though, in fact, he should have broken through a few days ago after accumulating experience and growth from fighting and sparring with the Dragon King P’thala, giving him several insights. However, he couldn’t completely breakthrough because of lacking energy sufficient enough to advance his Soul Core.

But now, using this world’s dense energy which the Firebird devour and gave him pure energy in return, it was comparable to many years of increasing his magical power.

Allen slowly opened his palm, and his Soul Core appeared floating on his hand. It was now more intricate and dazzling compared to before. Like an emblem, having a Skull with crossbones, it was now more realistic as it can be. Even the edges of the Soul core have a metallic shine.

At the top of the emblem was the symbol of Snow, resembling a snowflake—his Water Attribute, which was combined with his Leviathan Physique. Next to it, going clockwise was a blazing flame which was now looking stronger and blazing than before—his Fire Attribute which was the core made out from the Firebird; Fia’s help using her core.

On the next was a cluster of sand, seemingly scattering away then reforming—his Earth Attribute, using his Sand Manipulation Abilities. Then, a small plant with two leaves. However, this symbol was emanating weak energy compared to others. This was his Wood Element coming from Maria Makiling’s support.

The next to it was the symbol of a sword and shield, using his Weapon Creation Ability as a base and which was the very concept of his Domain. Lightning, his Goro Goro no Mi and his lightning ability. Next was the Light Element which he had created using his Bloodline as an Angel and his humanity—he had named it the Human Path. And lastly, the counter of his Light Element in which he had based on Osiris Fragment and his Devil Bloodline—which he named Demonic Path.

Although some of his elements were still unbalanced and weak compared to the other Elemental energies, at the very least, over half of his elemental power was getting stronger and denser in energy. Because of this, Allen’s Cultivation Path of the Void Spider Buddha Technique has steadily increased and was slowly breaking through the Saint Realm!

Allen surmised that from now on, his God System would barely able to advance after reaching the 2nd Grade of the Mid God Realm and so if he wanted another power, could only increase his Cultivation Technique or his Ninja Arts. So that, when the time comes, he could create his incarnation using the three Systems and if that happens, instead of splitting his power, weakening him, he could still able to retain all his power using three different incarnations.

If that succeeded, it would as if there were three different people of him… even if Vergil and Mammon would be extremely powerful, with three Allen together; he wouldn’t be on the losing end.

Allen tightened his fist slightly and sensed the filled feeling within his body.

The corner of his mouth was involuntarily lifted into a faint smile.

“Master, are you okay?”

As Allen was relishing his increasing strength, a gentle voice reached his ears. Turning around, he saw Dakna watching him with gentle eyes.

“I’m fine,” he muttered with a faint smile. Turning his head, he saw Lama swimming in the boiling magma.

“…how is it?” He asked.

Lama who had heard his voice turned towards him and smiled happily, “It’s better than I had ever imagined.”

The corner of her mouth was involuntarily lifted into a faint smile. This place was indeed extremely suitable for her. She had merely trained for a few days but she could vaguely sense the energy within her cells advancing. If this were to continue for a prolonged period of time, her advancement would definitely be quite frightening.

“That’s good… You can stay here for a while, I’ll go ahead first. I will leave a clone of mine. And if I’m going to proceed to the next level, I will notify you, so that you can return, till then, enjoy the place.” Allen muttered.

Lama nodded her head.

“Alright, I’ll stay here for a bit then.”

She didn’t refuse as she knows that this is a rare opportunity for her to advance her strength. If she becomes even stronger, she would then be able to support and protect Allen in the future. She knows that it is what is necessary right now—Strength!

Allen walked over, then his feet leave the red-dyed ground as if gravity relinquished its hold on him. Then, without saying anything, Allen floated over to Lama’s location. Lama, on the other hand, sprung up, her coiled long tail, acting as a support, wanting to meet the arriving Allen.

Allen reached out and pulled Lama close to him. She responded by wrapping her arms around him, drawing him close into an embrace. They drew each other into a kiss. No words needed to be said as the two of them broke apart and gazed into each other's eyes.

“Be careful here, okay…I’ll be back soon,” Allen muttered.

“Hmm,”

Then, the two of them engaged in a passionate kiss, their lips and tongues practically swirling around together. Allen wrapped his arms around the waist and back of the curvy Magma Lamia, holding her closer and tighter to him, and at the same time, Lama responded by locking her arms around his head, urging him into an even deeper kiss. He deepened the kiss, molding his lips to hers, and she opened her mouth to let him in. She swirled her long tongue with his and licked the inside of his mouth with relish.

The two moaned passionately into each other's mouths, breaking apart only when the need for oxygen started to become very noticeable.

After a few minutes passed by, Allen pulled back. He looks at Lama and gently strokes her hair.

“I’m going,” he placed one last kiss on her lips before turning around.

Lama’s silver teeth bit her red lips as she watched Allen’s back, which was leaving. She softly muttered, “Well, I actually wanted to spend a bit more time with him…oh well, I shall put in the effort again for you, enduring this lonesomeness. For you, no matter what trouble comes my way, I will bear it…”

Originally, Lama was not really interested in increasing her strength. All she wanted to do was to find a quiet place to pass the rest of her life and be with Allen, the man she had chosen and loved. And indeed, she was passing her time full of comfort and peace.

All this time, she remained within the Grimoire World, being basked by the warmth of a true family, not only by Allen but also from her beloved comrades that follows the same man. No one had hated her; no one looked down upon her due to her many sins. She who had experienced the cool indifference of the world, it was a matter that she could not imagine. She felt very blessed and happy about that decision she had made that very moment when she met him.

Indeed, he was her destiny…

Although she knows that the outside world was a very harsh place for her man, that enemies wanting to claim his life were as abundant as stars in the Night Sky, but never did once he had called upon her to protect his life and fight for him. In fact, she would be even happier if he did.

But he wouldn’t…she was certain of that. Only when he was certain that it wouldn’t pose any threat to them would he decide to call them to have fun and if things went awry, he would immediately let them retreat. Such love and care caused her to feel endless warm and happiness but at the same time heartache…

If only she was strong, she would surely support the heavens for him. Sadly, her man was the best in the world—surpassing him was almost impossible.

Lama smiled bitterly as she wanted Allen’s retreating back. She would not say anything regarding such a feeling though. All that she wanted was to remain behind him and quietly providing him with some help. That would be enough. This was because Lama was aware that Allen was carrying too much on his back.

He was also too tired…

She wanted to help share a little of his burden…

…and that is something she needed to do!
