As i activate my skill copying hobusaku's abilities i started to feel the power and information of skills gather to my thoughts...as i looked towards hoboku and the charging orcs it almost seemed like as if time had slowed for a bit my thoughts were once more clear from turmoil as i experience tranquility to the purest.

~Congratulations [LvL.9] has turned into [LvL.Max]~

~Congratulations you have deprived the skill [LvL.1] from [LvL.Max]~

I quickly dismissed those notifications and activated one of the skills i had acquired from the skill its name was which allowed me to make a pseudo-teleport in a radius of 10 meters around me and like so i quickly appeared beside the dizzy hoboku picking her up from the ground as i heard the monstrous shouts of the orcs which were only 3 meters away from me and hoboku...they were near but i wasn't panicked as i placed hoboku over my shoulder feeling the slight weight she had pulling me down but not for too much as i heard her speaking to me.

-lord....sorron....you...

Those were only few words but they gave a reassurance of her state motivating me even more as i told her.

-Don't worry we can get out of here just close your eyes and think about something good you will wake up beside me the next moment you open your eyes i promise you...

I made a kind smile as i looked at her which she tried to return but failed for a second replaced by a look of pain as she slowly closed her eyes.

-HAHAHA DIE HUMAN !

I brought my attention back to the orcs as i stood up from my place carrying the unconscious hoboku on my shoulder as i watched the orc chief coming close to me now only 1 meter away raising its huge meat cleaver about to take a swing at me,but i wasn't scared and with lightning speed i summoned the rusty long sword from my storage as i activated another skill a sword skill in particular which was called the rusty blade glowed a deep blue for a second as i initiated the skill quickly intercepting with the meat cleaver parrying it to the left side bringing it to the ground in a large explosion as the cleaver hit the ground with a boom.

(BOOM)

Stone pieces started flying as the cleaver hit the ground breaking off the layer of ice and even penetrating some of the stone resulting in stone pieces flying around as i made my counter attack flashing the sword i slashed the orc chiefs throat with one mighty swing jumping back simultaneously landing back at my original position next to the grey egg as i tapped it lightly and stored it inside the making a run towards the exit and i could feel the tomb starting to shake about to cave in.

With Hoboku over my shoulder i started running towards the exit as if my life depended on it which it sure was,my speed was far superior to them added with the attributes from hobusaku which came from the skill i was sure that i would be able to reach the exit and trap them inside.

-YOU IDIOTS DON'T LET THEM REACH THE EXIT IF SO WE ARE DOOMED !

Bellowed the familiar voice of the orc mage as he shot out a lightning bolt towards me and hoboku it traveled towards us in high speed as it avoided its companions skillfully about to hit me,but at that very moment a skill flashed inside of my thoughts and with that the handle of the sword i was holding turned orange as i executed the skill hitting the spell with the sword and surprisingly flinging it back towards the orc soldiers which stopped abruptly seeing the lightning bolt some of them started to jump to the sides while some were already too late and hit by the bolt and screeched a horrific scream fitting that of a pig...

I didn't have time to look at the pained orcs as much as i liked to i had to get out of here first and i could see that the entrance was about to close and with a last sprint towards it i knew that i couldn't make it hoboku's extra weight so i threw her instead and let the slimes catch her while at the same time jumped towards the entrance and barely making it outside !

-YES !

(THUMP)

With a loud crash the entrance closed up blocking the rest of the orcs inside who were crying out of loud full of anger as they started hitting the wall repeatedly but with no results i could even hear the orc mage chanting his spell and trying to blast the wall open with no result...

I sighed...I was panting really hard as i started to take my breath in...it wasn't over yet...i reminded myself as i stood up and looked towards the way out where the light came from...the familiar wind that came from the outside traveled inside this path as i carried hoboku once again ordering everyone to run as fast as they could towards the exit with full speed before the passage caved in burying us all alive which sounded really bad.

The distance wasn't bad and my stamina was high allowing me to carry all 5 of the pups with me but not the slimes as they were left behind not being able to keep up...i didn't know how much time was left but i gave it my all and finally reached the light in the end of the tunnel feeling the familiar breeze and smell of the vegetation that came from the forest...i kneel'ed down as i felt the cold sweat that was running down my head.

I did it...i...i actually did it...

As i was thinking like that i noticed that the slimes had also made it out everyone in one piece which i was actually glad about as i looked at the little clumps of slimy matter coming up to me with a happy demeanor as they jumped up and down as if they were celebrating...really funny honestly.

While thinking like that the moment the last slime came out the passage started to make loud crumbling sounds as it started to cave in with a loud howl squeezing the air out of the tunnel making me nervous for a second as i started to move away from it to not get hit by the debris at least...

(WHUMP)

With a dusting fall of the debris of the tunnel made it outside as they created thick clouds of dust surrounding us...hoboku and i were already in safety as i had moved behind a tree for shielding...

I smiled...i was glad and relieved that we had made it out it was like a miracle and to be honest i was lucky i guess ?

As i was thinking like that i could feel slight movement coming from the sleeping princess which was sitting between my legs...she made slight moaning sounds a bit pained and probably spasming for a second while trying to open her eyes and keep awake...at the moment i also didn't waste time and searched for a mana restoration herb which wasn't hard to find and tried to feed her to let her recover a bit faster...

-uhh..uhmm

Getting her to eat the herb was a bit awkward as hoboku couldn't move her jaw at all or chew at it as she was really sore all over her body so i didn't know what to do and panicked for a second finally getting an idea as i put the mana restoration herb into my mouth chewing it up in something like a slimy substance adding my saliva to it...uhhh the taste was awful and too minty for my taste almost burning inside of my mouth but i endured for hoboku's sake this was far better then getting locked up inside of a destructive tomb with crazed orc warriors...

With that thought alone i quickly kissed hoboku...she reacted to the kiss surprisingly but the she didn't expect the next thing to happen as i opened my mouth and let the slimy substance flow into her mouth making her open her eyes wide because of the taste probably...

After i finished giving her the herb i could see that she calmed down a lot and i also saw that her mana restoration was recovering a bit more faster calming my heart too...

-This was really a stressing day wasn't it ?

I muttered to myself as ruby and her siblings stood next to us watching us attentively and as if ruby knew what i meant she barked a small bark as she walked up to me put her head under my palm making me start patting her and the other small pups...

Hoboku also twitched for a bit while laying down in my embrace.

2 hours later...

It had been only 2 hours since we stayed beside the mountain side..i had been waiting for hoboku to wake up and i also checked her statues and noticed that her mana levels were going into a decent range about 30% filled but she still didn't wake up sleeping next to me actually.

I didn't move from my spot either and just stayed here,pulling out the map i determined where we were and i also contacted the other girls to pick us up from this situation,hobuha complied on the spot as she roared to the other female hobgoblins to start marching towards us...i wasn't worried about them not finding us because i knew that they would follow the bond they had with me and get here pretty fast,over all i stayed in this place and just observed hoboku and also looked over status and noticed she had risen 2 levels and was now a LvL.3 hobgoblin...her skills also increased and even her attributes were slowly closing in on mine which also made me a bit proud of her...

I shouldn't lie...i am extremely worried about her.

I knew what kind of state she was in...she is suffering from mana burn by depleting her mana reserves people can risk their lives with it because of the potential risk of sucking up their own life essence which is made out of mana too...even this tid bit of information was told by hoboku herself and i was scared...so scared about the prospect of losing her...

As i was thinking like that i sniffled for a bit as i felt a single tear running down my left eye it was running down my cheek as it fell down and dropped onto hoboku's sleeping face as i closed my eyes for a second lost in my thoughts...

But suddenly...i could feel a warm touch sensation feeling up on my left cheek...i was surprised and opened my eyes in confusion as i looked down again and saw hoboku's open red eyes looked at me her right hand holding onto my left cheek with a gentle smile on her face.

-Did you miss me ?

She said cheekily her eyes showed that sly glint telling me that she was actually awake all along and with that alone anger and embarrassment welled up inside of me as i took a long and steady breath through my nostrils rage was building inside of me.

-GO TO HELL !

I yelled at her as i pushed her from my chest making her bounce back to the opposite tree slamming her into it too giving her a light rattle to the head as she started patting her head with a light moan...

-How long !?

I asked a bit agitated and it was shown in my voice making hoboku who was sitting in front me very apologetic as she made a wryly smile at me and said.

-I actually woke up 1 hour ago when you started looking at the map...

That statement alone was able to throw me off as she said it without a hint of shame showing in her face...this girl is getting bolder the second it goes isn't she ?....haha...damn i couldn't help it still because of this a stupid smile crept on my face making hoboku brighten up even thought i still was mad at her.

-sorry lord sorron...allow me to make it for you...

As she said so she suddenly got closer to me getting on all four as she pushed her head towards me kissing me so suddenly while using her hands to push me towards the tree for support...damn i knew she was doing this because of her own selfishness but at the same time my horny self couldn't resist damn you son !

With that thought i was already starting to lose my reasoning as hoboku continued to ravage my mouth sucking and running her tongue wild inside of me,i could tell she didn't really know what she was doing because her actions were somewhat random but at the same time instinctive as she started positioning herself on my lap working her groping hands down towards my pants i felt a bit taken advantage of so i brutally grabbed onto her breasts squeezing hard for a second as if i was milking her making her freeze and gasp for a moment as she tried to get used to the sensation,her hands also stopped any further approach as she clasped onto my waist a bit hard but bearable with some stings of pain....

And like so hoboku and i were starting to enjoy ourselves in the woods we made some faint sound probably but i kept the slimes to guard and report so as long as there wouldn't be a big predator it was okay,but what i didn't know was that...what if that big predator wasn't an enemy at all ?

-lord sorron....

A cold voice could be heard as a chilly sensation was running down my spine giving me slight goose bumps...hoboku also stopped for a second she was still calm and just looked a bit annoyed getting interrupted then startled as she turned towards the right side where the voice came from and so did ...to surprisingly discover hobuha and the other girls who were now evolved standing on our right looked at us with different face....some were looking with a flushed face while some stared with a sour one but i could tell that most of them were looking at us very coldly...especially hobuha who was staring at us as if she wanted to freeze us on spot...

I looked at hobuha's cute face for a second...her evolution had gone well as she looked like a beautiful girl in her 16 with long white blond hair and a petite build...but right now she was making a very cold expression while watching us...

This was not the face of mercy...i just knew.
