Chapter 56
[Editor DragonFly here! We’ve decided to change the term “Elemental” to “Element” when talking about a specific element to avoid any confusion. For example, Saying Fire Elemental could give an entirely different meaning which could mean a being made of fire. So in this case, Fire Element or the Element of Fire is going to be used. Also, we’ve changed “Blood Clotting Medicinal Paste” to “Blood Coagulating Medicinal Paste”. Sorry for the inconvenience and enjoy the chapter below. :D]
After travelling for nearly two hundred meters underneath the earth, Greem was forced to resurface.
After all, traveling underground underneath the earth’s surface wasn’t as easy as it is on the surface. Areas full of rock formations and random patches of sand had brought no small amount of trouble for the golem. For this very reason, Greem had immediately ordered the Demon Alligator to resurface by making their way out of a random tunnel just after they had left the danger zone.
Greem closed his eyes and used his senses to probe things out. Inside the Demon Alligator’s stomach, Greem found Mary breathing rapidly, her body as hot as boiling water. As for Greem’s reaction to this, he just shook his head and sighed.
The ancient bloodline of the vampires was, as expected, quite incredible. Just by sucking blood alone, their strength would continue to soar into greater heights.
During the previous battle, Mary had forcefully sucked the blood essence of the enemy advanced apprentice, filling her body with great amounts of blood energy enabling her to, once again, undergo another round of evolution.
Due to the lack of necessary information pertaining to Mary’s situation, Greem did not dare to disturb her natural evolution. What he could do, however, was to find a relatively safe place, he then made the Demon Alligator spit her out and placed her on a warm and cozy blanket. After that, he excitedly started to search the dead body for treasures it won’t need anymore.
Before he started, he clasped both of his hands together forming a posture of a prayer, closing both of his eyes as he prayed to all of the gods he could think of. After he finished praying, Greem rubbed his palms excitedly, kneeling besides Anna’s miserable-looking body and started to conduct a search for possible loot.
Greem was uncertain about the purpose of the last item, the wooden statue. A magical aura exuded from it but there wasn’t any magical runes or characters engraved on this item. It looks like he has to return to the Adept Tower and have an expert appraise it for him to know what exactly it is used for.
While Greem was observing the wooden statue and silently pondered, a soft and warm body suddenly assaulted him from his back.
“Hehe, my dear, handsome Greem! Since you treated me so nicely, how do you want me to repay your kindness?” A sweet and seductive rang beside Greem’s ears. After that, Mary squeezed her arms beneath his armpits, gently stroking the area around his chest.
Ugh…
This sudden and unexpected lustful development instantly made all of Greem’s hair on his body stand on ceremony, also causing his body to become as stiff as a stone statue.
“Do you want me to give you a kiss?” Mary’s sweet voice lingered in his ears.
“I…”
Just when Greem was about to say something, a fragrant but sloppy tongue forced its way inside his mouth.
It was as if a Magma Fireball spell suddenly exploded in Greem’s mind, blowing all other thoughts away! His mind lost on cloud nine, losing himself over the blissful moment of the present.
A fairly long time had passed by, and only then did Greem finally struggled to get his mind out of this dream-like state. At this moment, Mary could be seen sitting beside him, holding a pair of magical leather boots in her hand.
“Chip, tell me what happened just now? Why does Mary affect me so deeply?” Greem secretly asked the Chip this question.
“Beep. Detected traces of a magic spell… Host might have been charmed by a spiritual magic spell. Judging from the experience the host went through just now, it should be the ‘Natural Charm’ spiritual spell…”
Natural Charm?
Greem couldn’t help having his lips twitch.
Damn! This particular one is extremely effective!
Ultimately, most magic spells of the spiritual type would show obvious spirit ripples when being casted. So long as one paid close attention, it’s rather easy to guard against them. But, what makes Natural Charm a cut above the rest lies in the word ‘Natural’.
This spell cannot be learned at all, as it only awakens in a limited number of species. Once it was awakened, it would bring the host a tremendous but hidden benefit.
Whenever a creature possessing the ability of Natural Charm entered a dangerous region, it would not gain the hostility of those neutral creatures as long as the creature didn’t have any destructive behavior.
If Mary does indeed possess this ability, then every word and action from her would be more seductive and charming compared to before, making it harder for enemies to be on guard against her.
Greem couldn’t help but start to doubt, did Anna possessed some kind of special bloodline in her body, for example, that of a Demon Flower or a Demon Tree? If not, how could she bring out such a weird ability by having her blood absorbed by Mary?
“You’re awake now, Greem?” Marry seemed to be fully satisfied by how the situation turned out.
“I never thought just a single kiss from me could bring your head up in the heavens! Looks like you really have to temper your willpower more often!”
Greem stared at Mary with a distressed expression. He noticed that Mary is still unable to properly control her newly obtained ability, that’s why each and every word and action of hers carried a strong power of suggestion and seduction.
“We already killed an advanced apprentice Fallen Adept, should we continue looking for more resources or return back as soon as possible? Greem can only try his best and divert Mary’s attention.
“Let’s go back!” Even though Mary was an overenthusiastic, her mind was still clear and logical saying, “We have created more than enough of a racket here. Maybe the other teams are already rushing back to our base as we speak. And so, I’ve decided we should be heading back too! I don’t want any more of this underground world place crawling with those black-robed Pseudo-Adepts!”
“Yes!”
Greem nodded his head, fully agreeing to Mary’s suggestion.
