New Fantasy World: Galeia-Chapter 66

We all nodded at that and moved out of the crime scene. We looked for another clearing. I led at the front, stabbing Golems before they could rise. Lapia moved the ores with space spells and Yolin threw them at me, who stored them.

We reached a small clearing and Bonte checked for any unwanted guest or trap. When he gave the okay, we had lunch.

I produced the refrigerator and Lapia cooked a light meal with her fire.

Magic is way better than technology. I smiled while enjoying a rich soup.

Moving on, we reached the stream. The goo on the Oni’s body had dried and we both took a quick dip to clean ourselves. I joined her mostly because I felt dirty and wanted to clean the armor.

Continuing the systematical extinction of Golems for a few hours, the stalactites dimmed and we had to find another clearing to rest. We made camp in a spacious area free of Golems and bugs.

I uprooted a tree for sitting purposes, then carved a seat on the trunk with my spear.

The women sat next to me and the men retreated into their own tent.

"So..." Yolin began with a smile. "What do you think of your first dungeon dive."

"Exciting." Lapia answered. "I fought monsters while traveling, but those were mostly ambushes. It’s nice to be coordinated."

"Pretty relaxed." I shrugged. "I don’t have much to do, so it’s a little boring."

"That’s why we left you with the task of killing the beasts on the fifteenth floor." Alyssa giggled.

I nodded at her words.

"What’s the time?" Yolin asked while yawning.

I checked my pocket watch.

"It’s almost ten, you should go to sleep." I stood up and turned around. "I’ll keep watch as previously discussed. I’ll wear my armor so my glow doesn’t attract monsters."

"Here." Lapia produced a book and gave it to me. "So you don’t get bored."

I read the title. ’Way of the Warrior, an Analysis of Skill Advancement’ was written on it.

"Cool. Thanks." I gave her a kiss. "I’ll give it a read after I finish Kingdom Fall."

Alyssa nodded with a satisfied expression. "It is a good book."

Yolin laughed and pulled us into a four-way kiss. She groped my butt, then separated.

"Let’s go sleep." she turned around and walked towards the tent Lapia bought.

"Good night." the wizard gave me a wink and walked off.

The healer’s tail wrapped around my waist and she pulled me into an aggressive kiss. "Can I join you for a while?"

I nodded while licking my lips. "You can."

She smiled and we sat on the trunk. Placing her hands on my shoulders, she closed in and kissed me softly. Her full lips felt really good, and butterflies fluttered in my stomach. We separated and she gave me a beautiful smile.

"I like you a lot, Alyssa." I smiled back. "You’re cute, beautiful, your personality is amazing, and you’re really hot."

She blushed and wrapped her fingers around my biceps on top of the leather.

"You’re an amazing woman, Natasha." her eyes were dreamy. "I’m really lucky to have met you."

I grabbed her by the waist and sat her on my lap. I stuck a hand under her dress and gently scratched her scales. Closing my eyes, I kissed her. Our tongues wrestled for a while and we groped each other a few times.

"Natasha." she breathed out as I cupped a big breast. "We shouldn’t go further."

"Hmm?" I tilted my head. "I wasn’t planning to. It’d be embarrassing if the other two heard us."

"Oh." she blushed. "I thought you’d want to have sex here."

"And have them hear your moans?" I whispered next to her ear. "Those are reserved for me, Lapia, and Yolin."

"Yes." She let out a sultry sigh. "Can I ask you a favor?" she whispered back.

"Whatever you want." I nodded.

"When we have sex with Yolin, could you sandwich me between your bodies?" her deep voice was thick with embarrassment and excitement.

"You like muscles that much?" I licked her neck.

"Nn! I do." she breathed on my ear, then yawned.

I giggled and released her. "You should go to sleep."

With a wide smile, she gave me a peck and turner to the tent. I stared at her hips until she disappeared into it.

My armor materialized around my body and I slowly walked around the tents. Giving Kingdom Fall a light read, I busied myself as nothing particularly interesting happened. No bugs or Golems approached.

I could pick a thing or two from this book to improve my writing. I thought while patrolling.

It is as you say, madame of scales. I pictured Alyssa in front of me. How your red eyes stare into mine, like... I don’t know. Red eyes like ruby! Oh, so beautiful! A chorus of angels! A proclamation by the Gods! You truly are a woman of beauty!! Oh, Elvish maiden with lockets of sunshine. Oh, fine lady of red with hairs of snow. Save this damsel from her troubles of the heart!

I continued walking and thinking about love. While romance on Earth was known to me, the culture of this world was on it’s own league. I looked around, nothing out of order.

I’m not scared of love, honestly speaking. I’ve had more trouble being overly loving than the other way around. Thing is, Yolin just joined us. I like her, but I know I don’t love her yet. I care a lot about Lapia and Alyssa, that’s for sure.

I bit my lips as I completed another lap around the camp. I looked around, using my pike as a walking stick. The trees looked cleared, no bugs sticking to them. The ground was flat, no boulders to be seen. Lapia’s gentle snoring reached me and I quietly giggled.

I sighed and properly focused on the surroundings for the rest of the night.

When the stalactites brightened, I checked the time. Six. How does it work?

The group left their tents and we had breakfast.

More Golems were killed, but no bugs showed up. When we couldn’t find more, we moved down to the next floor. We killed them all going down to the fifteenth floor. It took us two days. I was going senile.

When we reached the final destination, the same jungle I had come to despise greeted us. There, however, roamed animals. What looked like bears walking on two feet, as I was previously told.

I dismounted Sonya and quietly sprinted towards a tree. A beast was sitting some twenty meters ahead. Desperation for anything that could stop the routine of doing nothing forced me to seek any form of entertainment.

I looked at the group standing at the door and sent the signal for them to start.

Alyssa giggled, looking at a piece of paper. "Look at Novak sneaking behind the Beast. What is she planning on doing?"

"I don’t know, Pruvik, but I can tell you one thing, and one thing only." Lapia continued, reading from her own sheet. "That Beast won’t see it coming."

"You’re absolutely right, Pofeta." Yolin covered her mouth with her script. "If one thing has been made clear, is that Novak has impressive sneaking prowess."

I leaned forward a little. Turning back to the beast, I signaled once more.

"Look! What is she doing?!" Bonte exclaimed in an attempt to sound surprised.

I moved towards the beast.

"Watch out! Watch out! Watch out!" Bromisnar chanted as I advanced.

The beast turned to me and I jumped. Turning in the air, I hugged its neck and came down to the ground with a loud impact. The animal didn’t survive the neck dislocation and died immediately.

"An NKO outta nowhere!" Alyssa cheered. "What a development right at the start!"

I stood up and raised both arms. "Yeeeahhh!!"

"Her name is Natasha Novak! A heavyweight coming straight from the Cradle of Life! Eleven days old and making waves already!" Lapia struggled to contain laughter.

"But look!" Bromisnar interrupted my character introduction. "A new contender rises!"

I looked around, a few beasts had surrounded me.

"Tch!" I wiped invisible sweat off my helmet.

[Uger, Lvl 295]

It was a brown bear standing on its hind legs. They all looked the same: furry, tall, thick, clawed hands, and snouts.

"Grrrr..." the closest to me approached while growling.

I took a step forward and forced its head between my legs. It struggled a little, but a few slaps kept it still.

"Oh! Look!" Bonte exclaimed. "Is that what I think it is?!"

"Novak is as bold as ever! What an approach!" Alyssa was getting into it.

"Look closer, everybody!" Yolin’s voice trembled. "It’s not just that!"

"What are you talking about, Makav?" Bromisnar sounded shocked.

"It’s obvious, Bahadh! It’s the Tsar Bomba!" Lapia sighed with amazement. "What luck we have to see such a legendary technique from the eleven days old fighter!"

I grabbed the bear by its chunky waist and lifted its body to sit on my shoulders. It weighed nothing to me. I jumped a little and performed the finisher. The bear’s spine shattered, and the back of its skull bounced off the ground. I stood up and posed.

"What a finisher!" Bonte clapped. "This truly is a legendary eleven days old technique!"

I felt a soft impact on the back of my head and took messy steps forward, as if the strike had dazed me.

"OH?!" they all gasped.

A bear grabbed me from behind and bit me on the shoulder. I was wearing my armor, so nothing happened.

"Aahh!" I let out a weak yelp of fake pain.

"Is this the end of Young Novak, the eleven days old heavyweight with two legendary techniques?" Alyssa sounded distraught.

Nice acting! I smiled widely.

"Two?!" Lapia snorted. "You’d be naive to think such a young fighter only has two legendary techniques!"

"You mean?!?!?!" Bonte made a weird sound.

"Yes, Slirmy!" Bromisnar took out his lute and started playing a tune. "Can you smell what the Halve is cooking?!"

"I don’t smell anything, but let me tell you something." Alyssa interjected. "I have tried her cooking and I must admit, it’s plain. Her technique, however, is top tier. On both battlefield and bed!"

Hey! That wasn’t on the script! Don’t add sex jokes to the skit!

I freed myself of the hold and turned around, hugging the bear. Swiping my right leg under the bear’s, I pushed it down to the ground. The fall shattered its thorax and it died instantly.

"The cracking of bones is loud and clear!" Lapia cheered. "This might turn into the best fight of the century, ladies and gentlemen!"

I heard footsteps and turned around, a beast was running towards me.

"What will she do?!" Bromisnar asked an invisible crowd.

Jumping over it, I grabbed its head with my legs and pushed my upper body forward. The inertia made us spin and it landed on its face with my knees on its back. The loud crack of its neck reached the rest.

"That Uger is not standing up after that." Bonte sounded impressed.

"Hahahaha!" Yolin bent over and dropped her script. "I can’t!"

The rest joined in the laughter.

"We’re not done..." I walked over to them, removing my helmet. "I wrote a few more lines."

"What is this?" Lapia wiped tears of joy as she read the paper. "’Bam! Wham! The Big Slam’?"

"I wanted to include everyone on the fun." I shrugged, a little embarrassed. "Was it lame?"

"Not at all." Alyssa giggled. "It was really fun."

"A very colorful script." Bromisnar chuckled. "It’s been a while since I’ve performed a character."

Yolin gave me a toothy smile. "That was pretty funny. You came up with really interesting names for the moves, too."

"I may tell you more one day." I gave her a wink.

Lapia nodded with a mysterious smile. "And we’ll wait."
