Chapter 280: Victory
-----
CLASH!
Frost and the crows broke inside the house before we had defeated Ca.s.siopeia, and the entire barrier broke. After that, we defeated her with a combination of constant blows with Benladann.
Now that"s what I call husband and wife work.
The entire house, however, was in ruins and falling apart already.
The corpse of the ice giantess was lying in the ground, made into a pulp, I ate her soul though, so she wasn"t going to come back, thankfully.
I got some of her memories through eating her soul, so I got a lot of tasty info about this inheritance, which I might employ for my own use.
I saved her corpse inside of my Inventory after that.
"We should get going now, Benladann. We made a big mess here fighting this crazed woman." I sighed.
"Indeed… Let"s get going… Ueeggh… I am still not used to the mold." She sighed, as the mold slowly began to dissipate from within her body as ashes, though she was still a bit slimy.
I quickly looted anything of value I could find, including the dimensional pouch of Ca.s.siopeia, which most likely had some good stuff on it.
After that, we hopped into the first floor as we found Frost and the crows destroying the corpses of the zombies and the floor hands…
I quickly saved all the zombie corpses too and even stole some of the furniture, all the food there was, and even the big bank of mana stones she had saved in the underground, so we got a nice amount of stuff out of this, hehe.
However, trouble was approaching, as we heard a group of sect members rushing into the manor.
"s.h.i.t, alright, let"s not let them find us out," I said, as I quickly opened a path to my Dreamscape and let everyone inside to hide.
Meanwhile, I used my ability as a Dream-Seeker to enter the dream of a nearby person. It was night now, so it was fairly easy to hop into dreams than in the day.
When the sect members reached the house, the only thing they found was just disaster and a lot of the blood of Ca.s.siopeia on the third floor.
It all went well in the end. It was an intense surprise to be a.s.saulted by this crazed b.i.t.c.h, but things ended better for us now with all this loot we managed to grab.
Such a good opportunity! I never thought she would go full evil on us, but she really did. Wow, you should never judge appearances, I guess. The s.e.xy and friendly witch wanted to enslave us in the end…
Benladann was right all along, although I wasn"t playing with her anyways.
After this, we stealthily sneaked back to Fuyu as we hopped inside the dreams of someone sleeping in there, arriving inside the house super quickly.
Dream-Traveling seems pretty convenient, but it costs a lot of Mana.
After arriving at the house, we quickly decided to go to bed, everyone within our team was exhausted, so we"ll talk more deeply about everything that happened tomorrow morning.
But most of us took a bath, of course, so I and Benladann took a relaxing bath together without any lewd moments, surprisingly.
She seemed rather silent and tired, so we went back to bed, and she rested over the bed.
"So many things happened today… I-It still quite shocking what happened just now, that woman was really evil all along!" she said.
"Indeed… Well, I don"t think we are particularly good guys either, but yeah, she was malicious and evil against us." I said.
"Come to think how closer to death we were just now…" she sighed.
"Well, not much, we were obviously stronger. I would have protected you. I was going easy because I could have blasted the entire house if I went too crazy." I said.
"O-Oh… I see… But even then, I still felt the thrill of such a life and death battle…" she sighed.
"I see… Are you feeling alright?"
"I… I am fine… As long as I am with you, I can get through anything…" she said, as she held my hand tightly.
"Don"t worry, I will always be there to protect you… We defeated her together, remember?"
"Hm… You"re right, it was both intense and quite… romantic… We had yet to do such a battle together." She said.
"Indeed…"
Benladann rested over my chest as she rubbed her face over it, and we covered each other in the sheets. Her legs wrapped around mine.
"I love you… Do you love me?" she asked.
"Eh? That shouldn"t even be a question anymore… Of course, I love you, I love you more than anything."
"R-Really? You were not looking at that crazy woman differently?" she asked.
"Huh? Of course not… I was honestly annoyed by her att.i.tude… You"re the only woman for me, dear…" I said sincerely.
"Then kiss me…"
I moved her chin high as I kissed her rather pa.s.sionately. Our lips embracing one another like we always do. And it never gets old.
"Hahh… Such a good kiss… I love kissing you…" she said.
"I love kissing you as well…"
"I-I… I still feel a bit impacted… Is it okay if we don"t do it tonight?" she asked.
"Hm? Of course, it"s fine. We are not forced to it, we only do it if it comes from us, right?"
"R-Right… I thought it would disappoint you…"
"Why would that disappoint me, you dummy? I love you not because of s.e.x, I love you because you"re Benladann, my beloved wife… The love of my life… If we never have s.e.x, I will still love you as much as I"ve always done."
"D-Drake…"
She began to kiss me again, and then she became fiercer, and pa.s.sionate… and began to sweat.
"Hahh… I-I think I want to do it now…"
Did my words heat her?
"Are you sure?"
"Yes… I am sure… L-let"s do it like we always do it…"
"Alright then…"
This night felt… fairly different.
Aside from our pa.s.sion, there was also a lot of love and comprehension as we did it, she hugged me so tightly… It was beautiful.
