The Blood is Flowing

Sally and Hoa started looking for Elena and her friends. Woodland Inn was the first place they checked, but they had to leave with disappointment since they weren’t in their rooms. After asking the innkeeper, she told them that they were talking about the library when they left. Sally and Hoa ran as quickly as possible to reach the library, not caring about how inelegant they were.

But even after reaching their destination, they were sad to hear the librarian saying that they left not too long ago. Hearing the news, Sally left the library with loud stomps, gritting her teeth. She knew that her targets were very quick and good at hiding.

“Damn it!” Sally stomped on the ground, startling Hoa. Clenching her fists, she continued, “If only I realized things earlier! Let’s go. They surely left the city by now. We should start searching the forests. They might have stopped somewhere to take a rest.”

Raising her right hand to her chest, Hoa pointed out a problem, “But Master. If they were able to hide their presences even from you, it means that we have no chance to find them. They will sense us before we could catch them, and considering how quick they are, I don’t think that we can catch them.”

Raising a brow, Sally asked, “Your point is?”

Hoa’s yellow eyes darted around as she stuttered her first words. “Ehm… M-Master knows that I’m not the kind of person to give up, but I find it pointless to chase them in this case. We should rather focus on preparing for what is to come. It might be a part of their plan to draw us out of the city so that other forces could get in. In my opinion, it would be a wrong choice to chase that group.”

Sally kept looking at her with a serious face, staying silent.

“Master?” Hoa looked at her with upturned eyes, waiting for a scolding. She knew that her Master hated cowards and those who gave up.

A smile formed on Sally’s face as she raised her hand to pat Hoa’s head. “You are right. Maybe I was wrong all this time. I saw many people giving up many things through their lives, but maybe I misunderstood them. They gave up to chase something bigger and better. I could stay stubborn and chase Jake, Elena and the rest of those bastards, which could result in a catastrophic event. I mean, imagine if a group really raided the city while I was gone?”

“In that case, it’s definitely better if I stay here and prepare as much as possible, tighten the security, eradicate possible spies, and support others. I stubbornly kept saying not to give up, but it is better to give up in a few cases. It might be the case this time too. You are better when it comes to scheming and politics… so I’ll listen to you.”

“Yes!” Hoa exclaimed with a bright smile on her face, hugging Sally. “I always found Master too stubborn. I’m glad to see you finally realize your mis-” her sudden revelation faded into the air as she realized what she was about to say. Feeling Sally’s arms tightening around her back, she turned mute in the middle of her sentence.

“What? Could you repeat it? I didn’t hear you clearly,” Sally showed a creepy smile on her face, gripping Hoa’s right arm.

Turning her head to the side, she mumbled, “N-Nothing, Master. I apologize!”

Shrugging her off, Sally turned around and made her way towards the main guard post, her brain storming with ideas of strengthening the defence in the city. Seeing her thinking so hard, a smile formed on Hoa’s face as she ran after her.

Elena and her friends left the city in a hurry, not bothering with their store or anything of the sort. They had armors, weapons, some spare money and their lives. Thanks to their Shadow Step, the twenty meters tall walls weren’t a problem. Without anyone noticing them, they easily left the city behind and went towards the thick forest.

Seeing that the monsters’ levels were reaching a hundred and seventy, they stopped. Dark brown colored trees filled the forest, which created a thick canopy over the group, combined with the tall bushes. There was a huge lake in front of them, an opening to a cavern on the other side, and a small clearing on their left. The lake was about three hundred meters wide and two hundred and eighty meters long.

The area was quite silent, thanks to a powerful monster which resided in the cavern. Dred ran ahead and entered the cavern. Only the wailing of a beast could be heard for a few seconds before the voice faded into nothingness. “This place is beautiful,” a smile formed on Elena’s face as she put her hands together.

“But not as much as you,” Audrey said with a chuckle, slapping her back.

“Ugh… you devil. It’s good that I barely felt anything from it. This armor is indeed great,” she shrugged Audrey’s slap off as if it was nothing, even though she used quite a lot of strength.

“It’s good to see you protected. It was worth the money, after all,” Jake said with a chuckle, going after Dred.

“Don’t go after him. Let’s share the work. We need wood to make a cottage, we need meat to eat, and we should explore the nearby areas. Audrey, you will stay here and use your great Senses. If they won’t follow us, we can stay here for the time being. If they will try to catch us, we will have to leave…” Elena stopped him and divided the things they had to do.

Turning around, Jake raised a brow, “But isn’t it pointless? I mean, if they will come after us and we will have to run, it’s meaningless to make a lodging.”

“It might be pointless, but it’s better than sitting in one place, doing nothing. I left my bacteria at a few places in the forest. If they were to come nearby, I’ll notice them and we can leave without any trouble,” she replied, feeling confident.

“Then why did you ask me to stay here and use my senses…?” Audrey interrupted her boasting, realizing that she got a useless role.

“Well… you can come with me or Jake too if you wish. I’ll go and cut out a few trees. Dred will explore the area and you two can hunt for food. Now go,” she repeated her commands, this time giving a clear role for everyone.

“Wait, I’ll take care of the food. They are two, so they can cover a larger area,” Dred came out naked from the cavern, using his demon form.

“Damn it! Dred! Wear some clothes if you change form!” Elena shouted at him, her face slightly red. Audrey couldn’t help but turn away silently.

“You bastard! You keep showing off!” Jake shouted at him, seeing the girls’ reactions.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I had no such intentions. I’m just not used to it, so I forgot about it. I’ll make sure to remember it, I swear,” Dred apologized as his shadows crept up on his body, covering it up to his neck.

Audrey and Elena sighed out of relief, which reason of was unknown, even to them. “Hmph, poser,” Jake grumbled, crossing his arms in front of his chest, looking towards the lush forest.

“You are cute,” Audrey giggled as she grabbed his hand and pulled on it.

“I’m not cute…” he growled, following behind her.

“Don’t you go and tear our food into pieces. We won’t be able to eat it that way,” Elena remarked as she left Dred alone.

“I know… but I can’t kill cleanly in my monster form,” he replied as he left the place. His words were only barely audible whisperings in Elena’s ears by the time he finished speaking. The wind was blowing against her face and her black hair fluttered behind her as she was running through the forest.

Using Nature Magic, she made the bushes open up in front of her. Finding a good spot, she stopped. The trees looked quite old yet strong. They were perfect for her plans. With the help of Wind Blades, she easily cut out a few trees. She started slicing them into logs when she felt something rushing towards her.

Turning around with her dagger in her hand, she welcomed the daring guest. She saw some kind of tiny creature, which was only around forty centimeters tall. It had green hair, eyes, and skin, mixed with some pink at a few spots. A strange flower was growing on the top of its head, which looked like its hair.

She used Inspect on it, right before her dagger sliced through its neck, beheading the creature. She quickly devoured it and sat on the ground, covering her nose.

Name: Dryond

Race: Dryond

Level: 153

Threat Level: 0

Thanks to visiting the library, she learned about the monsters residing in this kingdom. She knew that this creature was a subspecies of Dryads. They were dead silent in the forests and always ambushed people. The flower on the top of their head was a dangerous weapon since it contained a kind of dust, which had aphrodisiacal effects. In the middle of the fight, losing one’s mind was very dangerous.

When she cut off its head, the flower released its spores, covering Elena. She was a little too late to stop breathing and inhaled some of it. Waving her hand, strong winds blew away the spore cloud. Sighing out of relief, she stood up. “Fuck this shitty creature. Now I’ll have to go on like this,” she grumbled, feeling a slight tingling in her lower half. Ignoring it, she continued to slice the trunks into logs.

She sliced one tree after the other, but her tingling pussy continued to bother her. “ARGH! I’ve had enough of this!” she stomped on the ground, making long cracks appear in it. I might be able to ignore it now, but I don’t want to go back to the others in this state. Who the hell decided that it would be fun to give my race sensual feelings? Well, I’m supposed to devour but…

Though, what can I say? Dred’s body looked nice. NO! What am I thinking about! Damned aphrodisiac. He just had to appear naked right before this happened. I’ll have to find some kind of immunity to these things in the future. Ah~ I think that I’m wet, she rubbed her slender thighs together.

Looking down, she slowly sneaked her right hand into her tight-fitting leather leggings, and got into her lacy, black panties. “Ahn,” she couldn’t help but give out a muffled sound as the tip of her pointing finger touched her clitoris.

“I-It’s been a long time ago that I did it…. Ah, who am I lying to?” she talked to herself. Breathing heavily, she looked into her panties. Her legs stiff, she stood in place as she moved her hand towards her private place. She felt a slightly sticky liquid covering her hand. She felt the lines of her labia. As her fingers circled around their edges, a shudder ran through her back.

Using her pointing finger and her ring finger, she spread her labia and pushed her middle finger into her hole. It felt hot and sticky inside. Her folds coiled around the tip of her middle finger. “Mhh-” she moaned as she started rubbing her own insides. Her folds continued to move with each of her movements, covering her fingers in even more liquid. She never noticed how her hips started ringing back and forth.

Her eyes hazy, her legs slightly weak in the knees, she decided to stop for a moment and find something to lean on. Stopping beside a thick tree trunk, she rested her back on it. Closing her eyes, she grabbed her own breasts and slowly moved her hands downward. She felt her slender waist, her wider hips, her round thighs. Pulling her hand back up, she entered into her panties for the second time.

As her left hand touched her private place, it got covered in her fluids. Moving her right hand, she inserted three fingers into herself, making sure not to go too deep. Her pussy gave out squelching sounds as her fingers moved inside it. Feeling that even the top of her hands and her panties were soaking wet, she got even more excited.

“Haah- this feels so good,” she whispered in a low voice, falling to her knees, her back still leaning on the tree. Spreading her legs, even more, she got as deeply into her pussy as she could. Feeling her middle finger hitting something, she hurried to pull it back. I don’t want to tear my hymen, I’ve got to be more careful… she thought, focusing only on the outer parts.

Leaning forward, she rested her chest and her head on the ground. Not bothering with the leaves that got stuck in her hair, she continued to pleasure herself. “Ah, this is in the way,” she muttered, pulling off her leggings. As her fingers excited her insides and her clitoris, she felt something building up in her.

Turning on her back, she rested her head on a log. Pulling up her top, she saw her erect nipples. “Haah- I want to touch them too, but then my clitoris…” she debated with herself, knowing that she doesn’t have a third hand. Coming to a decision, she pulled out her left hand from her panties and traced it up to her breasts.

She circled her pointing finger around her pink colored nipples before pinching the left one. She felt how hard it was. A strong feeling of pleasure rushed through her body, increasing the pent up feeling in her body. Her eyes hazy, she continued to rub her nipples and her pussy.

“Haah- this feels great. I- I want more,” she mumbled as she turned on her left side and pulled her body into a ball. Her pussy gave out squelching sounds each time her right hand in her panties moved.

“Ahh… it would be nice to have a strong male organ,” she mumbled, feeling slightly lost.

“Dred seemed to have… Ahh~ No… I mustn’t! Oh, but it would be fun to dominate him. Haah- I want him to kneel in front of me and eat me up. I want to sit on his face. His demon form is really handsome. Haah- Dred~ I’ll make you serve me!” she exclaimed, reaching her limit at the same time.

Her pent up emotions broke out of her body, covering her right hand and panties. Her toes rolled into balls in her boots, and her muscles turned stiff. Moaning loudly, she came.

Turning back on her back, panting heavily, she looked towards the blue sky through the holes in the foliage. Pulling out her right hand, a long line of liquid connected her pussy and her fingers. Flicking her hands, her fluids shot towards the grass covered ground.

“Ah~ This felt great. But… what the hell was I talking about? This aphrodisiac is strange. I’ll have to look for immunity. Dred is like my brother, I can’t think of those kinds of things for fuck’s sake. Geh, let’s clean up,” she jumped up from the ground.

“Ugh, I’m a mess,” she mumbled as she realized the problem at hand. “Let’s use water,” she talked to herself. She used Water Magic to clean her slopping wet private parts. With a combination of the fire and the wind element, she blew warm air towards her private parts, drying them. Pulling down her top and up her leggings, she used the same method to dry them.

“God, my nipples are still protruding a bit, even through this thick leather…” gently slapping her face with her hands, she said, “Let’s calm down. Composure, composure! Haah- okay. I think that now it’s better. I’ll eradicate these stupid creatures… they have no place in the Universe! Why would they cause troubles for me?” Grumbling loudly, cleaned up her scent in the area by using Fire Magic.
