*Screech*
The Poisonous Stone-Centipede seemed like it had enough of this staredown with Sera and finally made its move.
"Whoa!" Aaron felt the ground shaking beneath his feet and ran away from the Centipede before throwing himself into a hole within the roots of some tree to take cover.
However, a couple seconds later he noticed that the vibrations are getting weaker while the sound of destruction to both trees and terrain in this forest was growing fainter.
'Is it running away?'
Right after Aaron had this thought he heard a Soul rattling voice.
*Snort*
*Scree*
Followed it was a wail-like screech coming from far away where the Centipede is located.
"Get back here, now!" Sera's voice was sharp like an edge of a blade, commanding and domineering.
Aaron could feel the ground shaking once again and the intensity of the vibrations alongside the noise of destruction was growing higher as well.
"Stop!" The beauty shouted once again when the kid was almost about to make a run for his life before he gets squashed by that massive Bug, "Everything is alright little Ron, you can come out now."
Optional Quest Completed Completion Rate 100% Completion Rank S+ Quest Reward Sera's Absolute Trust.
Neutral-Class Skill-Tree Unlocked Additional Reward Neutral Skill Points +3
Right after Sera called him, Aaron received this system notification and he checked his Skill-Menu while climbing out from his temporary hideout.
'She really tamed this enormous creature! This chick is a true badass.' He thought once he saw the Centipede lowering its head beneath Sera's feet, it was shivering from fear like a mouse getting stared at by a sadistic cat.
The woman looked at him with a pair of lantern-like blue eyes and smiled before twisting her neck to glare at the Poisonous Stone-Centipede which is practically groveling beneath her feat before floating down slowly to stand on its head right in the center between its two huge compounded-eyes.
Aaron sighed in relief once he confirmed that it's over at last before looking at the Neutral-Skills available for him on the new branch at the Skill-Tree.
Seven new Skills and he only have three Neutral Skill Points which left a sour taste in his mouth.
Triple-Stars Use Mana to hurl three objects at enemies from long distance.
The first Neutral-Skill didn't interest Aaron because his Magician-Class allows him to use Mana and activate both Energy-Bolt and Flame-Orb Skills, not to mention that he could channel one of them and make it much, much stronger than normal.
Recovery
Uses MP to recover HP over a period of 30 seconds.
Usable only once every minute.
His eyes brightened once he saw this Neutral-Skill because it's practically like free access to a consumable every minute, unfortunately Aaron doesn't get to know how much HP he gets by activating this Neutral-Skill until he adds a Neutral Skill Point.
But he was excited when he checked the next Neutral-Skill.
Nimble-Feet
Uses MP to provide a short burst of speed.
Usable only once every 2 minutes.
Aaron's excitement kept escalating afterwards.
Monster-Tamer Enables one to use Mana to cast a brand on a monster to create a special bond.
Simply because these Neutral-Skills were so diverse!
Identify Uses Mana to improve eyesight which allows one to categorize hidden details.
'It's kind of annoying how vague this Neutral-Skill is described, does it work on materials? or does it work on living organisms?.' He thought while checking the next Neutral-Skill.
Mystique-Door
Uses Mana to generate a Magic-Door which leads to a pre-set destination.
Enables one to enter and exit until it disappears.
Other can use the Magic-Door with one's permission.
'Damn! This one is the most compatible with my Magician-Class so far.' Despite all his excitement, Aaron still decided to be patient after struggling to curb his enthusiasm.
Hero's Echo
Uses Mana to Endow one's voice with rallying-force.
Whoever hears it receives a boost of boundless courage and mighty power.
Enemies lose morale and receive a debuff to both Physical-Attack and Defense.
'Hmmm. That Mystique-Door Skill is a must, for now I can ignore Trible-Star because I happen to have alternative methods to attack, Recovery and Nimble-feet are both necessary but there's also that Monster-Tamer and Identify which might prove helpful in certain situations. That Hero's-Echo Skill is only suitable for me when I'm at war or something like that which is why I can delay it for later.'
While Aaron was thinking deeply about what to choose between the four Neutral-Skills, Sera stood on the Centipede's head and silently waited for him while looking at the kid with a pair of bright blue eyes.
The beauty didn't seem troubled by the wait at all and tapped Centipede with one of her feet, the massive creature raised its head to the highest point before lowering it towards Aaron without destroying any of the trees around him.
The Poisonous Stone-Centipede buried its head in the forest floor right in front of his feet which allowed him to step on it and stand next to Sera if he wants.
"I don't mind the wait but its going to be dark soon and I still have something to do, come have a seat. I promise not to disturb you." Sera said while offering a hand to Aaron who's still hesitating whether its safe to ride on this creature's head or not!
Finally Aaron decided to trust in the system's classification of Sera's trust towards him while thinking to himself : 'Surely someone with blind and absolute trust towards me wouldn't allow any harm to happen to me, thankfully this Centipede isn't coating itself with poison anymore.'

"What do you want to do next? Wasn't your mission to tame this Bug?" He asked while spreading the blanket and taking a seat, Aaron made sure to do so in a place where he could lean his back on a protruding area of the Centipede's exoskeleton.
Sera took a seat next to him and the Poisonous Stone-Centipede moved back by tracing its countless legs through the area which it damaged while chasing both of them, "This idiot consume the essence of rare minerals from the depth of earth to make its shell stronger and grow bigger but not all of it is used, whenever it evolves this Poisonous Stone-Centipede actually sheds its previous shell alongside some of the refined minerals."
"Oh, so you want to retrieve these items?" Aaron asked while looking around him at the forest, riding this Centipede feels a lot like riding the train back on earth.
The only difference is that he's exposed to the elements and the wind is annoying when it hits his face at such speed.
That's why Aaron activated his Defensive-Skills to protect his skin and it indeed felt much better, now he can truly enjoy the scenery and relax his tense nerves after all that happened today.
"This idiot wants me to take its offspring too, you can take the rest and give to Mr Smith. I'm certain that he's going to enjoy playing with these things in his smithy." She shrugged.
Aaron frowned before looking at the size of this creature before saying : "I'm pretty sure that Pine-Breeze Village wouldn't fit this one, not to mention its offspring too!"
The beauty giggled before saying : "Who said that I'm taking that slithering family of Bugs back with me to that tiny Village?"
"Where are you planning to take them then?" He kind of liked this version of this woman, it felt like there's no walls between them at all and she completely exposed herself to him.
Even when Aaron stared at her breasts when she leaned on her elbow, Sera calmly stared at him with the same gentle look within her blue eyes.
"I'm going back to complete my mission, you've helped me grow so strong with the things you gave me earlier and it's time for me to report to the Main-Branch and register my name to participate in the Continental-Competition. I'm certain of my chances to rank on the top-hundred now, getting to learn Soul techniques directly from my Seniors in the Headquarters is a great opportunity." The beauty supported her head on her hand and fanned her face with the other hand before opening another button on her chest to expose more of her skin.
'Why does it feel like she's inviting me to take advantage of her? I'm too young right now but someday I'll test my luck with her if I get the chance in the future.' Aaron raised an eyebrow before shaking his head, he decided to focus on the different options among the Neutral-Skills instead of lusting after this beautiful woman.
Unaware that Sera pouted slightly when the kid didn't make any sort of advance on her despite going this far and acting so shamelessly.
'Is he not interested because he's young? But I've seen him stare at me with fire burning within his eyes just now!' Sera thought while feeling very confused and slightly at a loss of what to say or do next.
Aaron added one Skill Point to unlock the Mystique-Door Skill.
Mystique-Door Uses Mana to generate a Magic-Door which leads to a pre-set destination.
Enables one to enter and exit until it disappears.
Other can use the Magic-Door with one's permission. Mystique-Door Level 1 Mana Points Cost 240 Requirements 2 Magic Rocks Duration Spawns a Magic-Door Portal for 60 Seconds Proficiency Points 0/100
'What the fuck? Where am I supposed to find these so-called Magic Rocks? Wait!' Aaron was very exasperated once he saw this limiting factor of having to have two Magic Rocks first before being able to even activate the Mystique-Door Skill in the first place, But it suddenly struck him that he happened to see something with that name among the long list of Consumables within the Store!
'There it is! Fuck me... that's very expensive damn it.' He thought while checking the colorful item which looks like some sort of raw uncut crystal.
Magic Rock Description A Mythical Rock with the power of Magic stored within it.
Necessary for Skills with High-Mana intensity. Maximum Number 100 each per Inventory slot Refunded For 1 Gold Tradability Tradable Notes None
'Each one of these suckers is 12 Gold Coins, that's 24 Gold Coins in exchange for one minute. Talk about daylight robbery, I feel like I'm going to puke... this is disgusting. Give me my Skill Point back you fucking system!' Aaron was regretting his decision now after he saw the price-tag of these Magic rocks.
Now he's hesitating even more and kept wondering which of the four Neutral-Skills should he unlock next.
'Judging by the description of both Recovery and Nimble-Feet Skills, I'm guessing it's a direct exchange of Mana being sacrificed for a certain result be that Health Points or Movement Speed for a set of time. But Monster-Tamer and Identify might also prove extremely helpful in certain situations, what to do? What to do?'
"The idiot says we're here, hold on tight." Right when Aaron was having a mental tug of war, Sera hugged him towards her chest and flew in the air.
The kid barely managed to grab the blanket then stored it within his Inventory Space, an action that caused the woman to smile widely before hugging him even tighter which almost suffocated Aaron after his face got buried into the soft skin of her chest!
'She smells nice, this feeling is the best. So unlucky... damn it!' Aaron thought while relaxing his head on these excellent pillows.
The Poisonous Stone-Centipede dug its head into the ground and the area around them sunk inwards which exposed a wide tunnel that easily fits the massive creature's body.
Sera followed the Centipede and entered the tunnel with Aaron in her embrace.
"It's too dark in here, I can't see anything at all." Aaron said while looking back over Sera's shoulder at the entrance which is the only source of light in this wide tunnel.
Even his voice kept Echoing further and further.
"No need to fear anything happening to you with me here." Sera seemed very happy for some reason and Aaron felt her joy through skin contact, especially once his nose brushed against a pointy and soft object on her healthy skin.
The woman shivered and a faint moan escaped her lips!
'Hehe. Time to eat!' He thought before teasing it with his tongue, exactly like how he saw it happen countless times in these adult videos which he kept watching after getting rejected or ridiculed by others in his school.
"R-Ron... Ah!" Sera struggled for a split-second before surrendering to his nibbling lips on her nipple, one of her hands was running its fingers between his hair sometimes pushing his head against her chest and sometimes making weak attempts to separate his mouth from that sensitive area.
Two or three minutes later, Aaron could see the beauty's blushing face thanks to some sort of thin glowing lines on the rocks that could be sparsely found on the tunnel-walls the deeper they went after the Poisonous Stone-Centipede.
"Hey." Finally Aaron let go of this fun toy after the woman begged him "enough" with her eyes.
"Y-yeah." Sera sighed in relief once it happened and blushed even further when their eyes met, especially when she saw the smile at the corner of the kid's mouth.
It made her heart skip a beat and butterflies fluttered in her stomach!
The beauty avoided eye-contact while stuttering in a mosquito-like voice she thought : 'He isn't going to ask me to do "that" is he now?'
Honestly she felt blood rushing to her head and she almost fainted when it happened.
"Who's going to stop the Beast-Wave when you're gone? I can't do that on my own." After saying that he slowly exposed the other breast and gently cupped it with one of his hands before sucking the pointy nipple into his mouth and twirled his tongue around it.
"Ah... once... once I return I'll make sure that sister Nina comes back before the Beast-Mmmnh... Beast-Wave happens," Sera moaned aloud when Aaron bit on her nipple gently, "Since it hasn't been that long since my sisters left with sister Snow, then I can catch up with them on the road and do my part of escorting sister Snow to the Branch and switch roles with her." She said before gathering all her courage and strength and used an arm to separate her body from the boy's lips and covered her chest shyly.
Aaron raised and eyebrow when he saw her blushing from shame under his gaze.
"You're too young... you shouldn't be doing "that" with someone old like me." The beauty stole a fleeting glance at him with her blue eyes which kept flashing even brighter in this dark.
"What if I'm doing all of this because it's you? Or would you rather if I'm doing it to your Sister Nina instead?" He smirked like a demon after saying that.
Once he saw her gawk and open her mouth then close it a few times without saying anything, Aaron grabbed her wrist and removed her hand before placing it back on the back of his head then continued to have fun suckling on her tits just to enjoy teasing this woman.
'Humph. As if I'd let you just go like that after wasting a lot of my precious consumables! Not to mention that you're the only person in this world who trusts me blindly which makes me really drop my guard around you without worry, unfortunately I can't keep you beside me any longer because you have your own agenda... damn. These are first-rate tits.'
Poor Sera was struggling to fly properly with all the teasing which kept on getting better when the kid improved his craft.
