Chapter 198: Crystalline's Going To Level Up!
This was, of course, just a little play he thought up in the heat of the moment. But it should work well enough to fool the Icy Beauty into thinking that the strength she was about to gain would be thanks to this little charade he was putting on!
WAAA!
The aura seemed to intensify as even more crimson energies were released from Azmond!
'What is this feeling~?!?' She thought to herself with a look of euphoria on her face.
Azmond had infused a bit of his Heavenly Massage Technique into the crimson energies he unleashed. All to make it seem like it was truly doing something for Crystalline!
|This is an interesting show you are putting on, Azmond! It's so pretty!! Can I get showered in your stuff like this too?!?| Boundless jumped up and down while watching the ongoing energies consume Crystalline's figure.
"..."
An awkward look formed on his countenance as he heard Boundless say such things with a straight face. 'Those are some very misleading words'
It was safe to say that she was completely clueless about what she just said
WAAA! WAAA!
The crimson energies reached a Zenith as the person taking on the 'blunt' of such an intense aura was currently going through a tumultuous series of emotions.
'Why does this feel so good~?!?' She couldn't believe it herself; whatever Azmond was doing practically put her in a different realma realm only filled to the brim with unending pleasure!
'I guess I should end this little show right now. We still have plenty of quests to complete after all.'
"It is just about done, My Love. Hold on for a while longer, and you will have a new way to gain even more power!" His raspy voice echoed through the area as it made its way into the dazed ears of Crystalline.
"Does it need to end so soon?"
"Whaa?-" He asked with a confused expression.
"Err I mean, that is good news! I am willing to persevere through this if it means I can gain another way to get more powerful!' She 'saved' herself with a 'resolute' voice as she continued 'pushing through' the bombardment of crimson energies.
"..." He was left a little speechless by the shamelessness of this girl.
'Was she always such a good manipulator of the facts?? Or is she maybe taking after my habits'
He couldn't help but think that this new version of her might be his fault...
...
The crimson energies made one final stretch before dying out a few milliseconds later.
Whoosh!
The remnant energies blew away as the 'fatigued' figure of Crystalline landed on the ground with her curvaceous body heaving up and down.
"That was tough, Azmond. But I made it through in the end"
"Yeah" He replied in an exasperated tone.
He didn't know how to make heads or tales of the words spoken by her.
"Anyway, you are now able to utilize a type of power unnoticeable to you," he began with a small smirk as he picked Crystalline up in a princess carry before bringing her over to where Boundless and Emu were.
Emu had already consumed all the goblins in the village a few seconds ago. However, that didn't mean it was full; in fact, eating so much only made Emu hungrier!
"What is this 'untraceable' power?" She asked with her body still heaving up and down from that 'trial' she just had to go through.
"It is a power that will allow you to get stronger and stronger as long as you defeat monsters and complete more quests with me." He responded to her with an informative tone.
"Really??" She exclaimed with an astonished look on her face.
Something like that shouldn't even be possible! And yet Azmond was telling her that she could get stronger doing just that!
"Why, of course, My Love~ Go and take out a few strong monsters and you will start to feel yourself getting stronger~," he whispered into her ears while blowing into them a little.
"Ahnn~! Az-Azmond, Shtop that~!" She yelped a little before she attempted to muffle her cute reactions with her hands.
"Heh. I could" He began with an earnest expression.
"Phew-" and just as she was about to sigh in relief, Azmond started to whisper into her ears again.
"But I don't wanna~" He followed up such a flirtatious statement with a light nibble on her left earlobe.
"Mhmff~! Az-Azmond, you hateful man~!" She moaned.
Ripples began to course throughout her milky white body as she squirmed and wiggled in his arms. Sweat began to slide down that tight-fitting white robe of hers, and if one was looking close enough, then they would start to see her robe begin to stick to those lewd slopes of hers.
"Haha~ But, seriously, My Love, go and hunt some strong monsters, and you'll see what I'm talking about." His playful voice came out in a semi-serious tone.
He gently set down the oversensitive beauty before pointing in a directionwhere quite a few of the stronger monsters he needed to hunt to complete the Adventurer's Quests were located.
"Go on in that direction, and you will find a few dozen monsters that should be enough to give you quite the boost in strength." He added with a kind smile.
You might be wondering why he would simply let Crystalline go out on her own without any protection. But...
Who was Azmond?
Of course, he put a few safety precautions around her!
Even if an Early Void Refining Realm Cultivator came after her, she would make it out of that situation without a scratch on her body!
That was the glory of using Soul Essence Barriers. As long as you didn't use enough of them to harm yourself, then they were the best ways to protect those around you!
He even predicted that the ancestors and elders of most organizations in the world of cultivation used their soul essence in a similar way as Azmond, except they probably used it to protect their sect members and descendants.
