Chapter 1462 – 1462. Dark Moon
‘She has a great figure.’
Long, slender arms and legs, and skin as smooth as silk.
Her breasts were full. But that didn’t mean they were as huge as a female ninja’s. They were just the right size, one might say. The balance was good. Her pussy was smooth, without a single hair.
Bell glanced this way, as if conscious of me. As I stood confidently, she also tried to stand confidently. I tried my best to maintain my composure. If I hadn’t, my dick would have gotten hard.
“Your heart rate is increasing. Blood is trying to gather in your groin… Are you horny?”
Barkeuse’s voice was heard inside the capsule. Judging by the fact that Bell outside showed no reaction, it seemed that the sound was only audible in my capsule.
“…Honestly, that woman’s body and face are killer, that’s a fact.”
“Indeed. A rare beauty. If I had a body, I would have been captivated by her too.”
“…What’s it like not having a body? Does watching porn not affect you at all?”
“I have transcended lust, appetite, and the need for sleep. I feel nothing. Sometimes I miss those desires, but not being influenced by them means I can always maintain a rational self, so I have no regrets.”
“I can’t really imagine that.”
Bell, completely naked, carefully entered the capsule opposite mine. My gaze briefly went to her buttocks. They were attractive buttocks.
“Let’s begin.”
Liquid dripped from the ceiling. It looked like water on the surface. I felt it seep into my body and then immediately pass through.
“You have less waste, probably because you’re a mage. Hmm? 50 mana rods. 16 of them are damaged. You must have treated them pretty roughly.”
“…Can you fix them?”
“The mana shower doesn’t have that function. Go see a specialist.”
The liquid pooled on the floor and began to rise. I wouldn’t drown. This looked like liquid, but it was mana, not liquid.
Looking at the liquid, I could see the dark things that came out of my body sinking to the bottom and escaping out of the capsule. That was the waste.
“I’ll tell you something good. Your partner is a pure virgin. It’s difficult to protect a virgin in this promiscuous world… Impressive.”
“Bell isn’t my partner. We met for the first time today.”
“You seemed pretty close for that.”
“Do you think you can just say things like ‘virgin’ to me?”
“Is that such important information? And I told her that you got horny looking at her breasts and pussy.”
“……That bastard.”
I wanted to punch him.
I wanted to smash this machine too, if I could. But if I did, I’d be the only one who’d lose out.
“As expected, your athletic ability isn’t great.”
“…I know. I have absolutely no talent for sports.”
“I wish you’d stop controlling the mana water. The mana shower isn’t dangerous.”
“I didn’t control the mana water.”
“Oh? Is the mana water responding to you on its own? That’s an absurd talent. It needs to be adjusted again. Don’t do anything and just stay still.”
The mana water, which had already risen to my knees, was sloshing. The tip of my glans, hanging down, touched the mana water. It wasn’t a very pleasant feeling.
“You have a fine piece of equipment. If sex fanatics saw you, they’d be drooling and going crazy.”
“Sex fanatics?”
“Crazy bastards who have made sex itself into a religion. Their doctrine is to have orgies every three days. They call it a ritual, but… it’s just a bunch of morons’ primitive bullshit show.”
“……”
That was information I didn’t know. Barkeuse didn’t seem to be joking.
The mana water soon rose to the top of my head. I could breathe. It wasn’t stuffy. It just felt like the air had become a little heavier. I could even talk.
“Can’t the mana rods be restored?”
“There is a function to regenerate the body, but the concept of mana rods is a little different. It’s impossible. Go see a specialist. The sooner the better. The damaged mana rods are hindering your growth. 16. 30% of the total are broken. This is a serious situation.”
“…You’re more worked up about it than I am.”
“I’m normal. You’re the strange one for being so calm. Do you know? Most mages wouldn’t even be able to use proper magic. The fact that you’ve been using magic without any discomfort so far… it’s just because of your talent.”
“……”
I know.
If nothing else, my talent for magic is real.
“The waste discharge is complete. Next, we’ll strengthen your body with a mana shower. Oh, and your mana sensitivity will increase slightly. I don’t know if that means anything to you.”
“You have 13 minutes left.”
“What about Bell?”
“It’ll take her 50 more minutes. Unlike you, I’ve decided to adjust her machine. The machine itself attached to her body is high-end… but it’s not optimized at all. And the operating system is garbage, so I’ve decided to install a new one. Especially the heart part… Oh, this. I shouldn’t say this.”
“I have a rough idea.”
“Hmm?”
I closed my mouth and eyes.
“It’s done.”
The mana water drained away and the capsule opened. I got out, put on my clothes, and sat on a chair next to the capsule to wait. I looked at Bell, who was inside the mana capsule. She seemed to have lost consciousness and had her eyes closed, but her mechanical arms and legs were spread out. Whether they were nanomachines or small robots, small machines were adjusting her arms and legs.
I sat there and admired her pussy and breasts.
KWA-A-A-ANG!
A loud noise was heard from outside.
I jumped up from my seat without realizing it. Barkeuse’s hologram appeared next to me.
“What was that just now?”
“I’ll show you the camera footage.”
A hologram screen appeared.
A monster was pounding on the entrance of the ruins.
The creature looked like a gorilla overall. Its upper body was incredibly developed compared to its small lower body. Its arms were also enormously long. However, in the place where its head should have been, there was a brain. It was a gruesome sight, like three human brains stitched together.
‘There’s only one place that could have made something like that. The Cavallia Research Institute. Did it come following Bell’s trail?’
The Cavallia Research Institute. Bell had immense hatred for that place. Because Bell was an experimental subject there.
“Don’t worry. There’s no way a monster like that can break down the door….”
KWA-ANG!
The door was dented by the monster’s continuous punches. Barkeuse frowned as he watched the video.
“There’s no way the door would break from such a weak attack. This is probably….”
“It’s probably the influence of the Dark Moon.”
“Look closely at that thing’s brain. There are traces of bullet holes. It seems that it was probably already dead, but it was resurrected by the influence of the Dark Moon.”
It was probably a Destroyer type. A type that was effective at breaking through hard armor or building walls. In the game, the armor’s durability would be depleted in an instant, making it the type that warriors hated the most, along with physical resistance.
“Are there no defense mechanisms here?”
“No. This is just a building for Transcendentalists to take mana showers. They take the mana shower and leave right away.”
“If this keeps up, it’ll eventually get inside. I’ll have to step in.”
“I’m counting on you.”
The door leading outside opened. I glanced at Bell Terrier inside the capsule and then walked down the hallway.
I opened my Astral.
The mana in my body began to respond to my will. Thanks to the mana shower, the mana’s response felt faster than usual.
‘Good.’
My body felt light.
I felt a sense of exhilaration, like I had shaken off invisible shackles and was flying in the sky. I understood why Transcendentalists took mana showers periodically.
I walked down the hallway, taking control of my body. I could see the monster’s disgusting brain through the dented door. A part of the brain split open and a red eyeball popped out. The eyeball looked at me through the door.
My legs didn’t stop. I calculated and constructed mana formulas. My casting speed was slightly faster than before the mana shower.
“Barkeuse. Open the door.”
The door opened. It didn’t open all the way because it was dented. But that was enough. It created enough space for the monster to enter. The monster ran towards me, stomping and raging.
I held out my palm towards the monster.
[Air Blast]
A powerful wind blew straight ahead. It blew the monster away in an instant. The monster’s heavy body soared into the sky.
Using the moment, I constructed a new formula in the slowed-down world.
[Railgun]
The railgun, leaving a blue trail in the night sky, pierced the monster’s chest.
“Tsk. I aimed for the head… but it twisted its body mid-flight and got hit in the chest.”
KOO-OONG!
The monster, having landed on the ground, ran on all fours like a beast. Its speed was quite fast.
[Lightning Spear]
I threw a spear of lightning. The spear hit the monster’s body and exploded, scattering electric current in all directions. The current flowed through the monster’s body, but the monster didn’t stop. It was as if it hadn’t been hit at all.
‘Is the electric type not working? Is this also the influence of the Dark Moon?’
While calculating the formula in my head, I awkwardly formed the hand seals that I had been practicing with both hands.
[Torrent]
[Frost]
Water gushed up from under the monster’s feet, soaking its body. Immediately after, Frost’s coldness froze the monster.
CRASH!
The monster broke the ice in 3 seconds and charged at me.
[Levitation]
I flew into the sky before the monster’s fist could reach my body. The monster paused. It looked up at me, as if it was dumbfounded. Then it shook its fists. Even with arms that were over 2 meters long, it couldn’t reach my body floating in the sky.
The monster’s knees bent. It jumped with all its might. But its weak lower body, compared to its huge upper body, had clear limitations.
“You should have come up into the sky sooner.”
I leisurely took out a bullet from my coat pocket. I fixed the bullet with telekinesis and used magic.
[Railgun]
The railgun that fell downwards pierced the monster’s shoulder.
‘I aimed for the head again, but it dodged it again? Unlike its clumsy appearance, its reaction speed is amazing.’
The monster picked up a nearby rock and threw it at me. KWA-ANG! The barrier and the rock collided. The barrier broke, and the rock fell to the ground. After confirming that the remaining two barriers were intact, I used magic in succession.
[Railgun]
[Railgun]
[Railgun]
Two railguns failed to hit, but the last, third railgun blew the monster’s brain away. The monster’s heavy body collapsed to the ground. I landed on the ground and looked at the monster’s corpse.
‘It’s definitely dead.’
I could still feel something that was bothering my senses.
‘I just need to check it.’
[Water Blade]
I cut the monster’s corpse with a water blade. It was so hard that it took quite a while. And then I found a small chip in the corpse’s heart. I stared intently at the chip. I could feel dark mana from the chip.
