Chapter 35: Rewards

Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Rewards

[Reward attained]

[Hero´s Guild slain Goblin village]

[New Zone Conquistada]

[1 Guild point]

[5 Small Cores]

[Special Reward]

[Hunting Bow (E)]

The notification filled me with joy. I’d obtained good rewards. The Hobgoblin’s corpse still lay stretched on the ground. I thought "I don’t want to but I have to do it," then I approached the hobgoblin and with the steel sword I cut open its chest, where its heart should have been there was a green core.

[Earth Core]

Cores had always been handed over to the kingdom, but now I knew if I wanted to strengthen my guild I needed them. Furthermore, monsters would never reappear in this area, it had become a conquered zone. I could see on the map that this piece of land had been annexed to my clan, for some reason the entire path we had used to get here was now my territory.

I walked back down the path when I heard noises. My super sharp senses alerted me that something was very wrong. I took the [E] level bow, stopped, and stayed silent before materializing a lunar arrow and launching it with all my might towards the trees. A pained scream resonated and I ran to check what I had killed.

Arriving I saw two Sealakels pierced and pinned to a tree by my arrow. A few seconds later the arrow lost its presence vanishing into nothing and both beasts fell to the ground dead.

"Looks like more will join the party... I should hunt them, I want to gain some levels."

I hid behind a tree and saw several groups roaming the area. The situation became complicated as I saw several Sealakels using steel armor and giant spears or swords, typical equipment of [Sealakels Commanders]. I thought "if my memory serves me right, these beasts are level 35, it could be suicide to throw myself against all these alone..."

Seeing the situation was bad I decided to retreat silently. I ran back down the same path and found Lira who was on a tree observing from a distance.

"Didn’t I tell you to go back?"

"Sorry boss, I asked permission to wait for you. If I saw you being chased I could give my life to help you escape."

"..."

The seriousness with which Lira spoke made me silent. I couldn’t believe she was willing to sacrifice her life that way. I patted her on the head and said.

"Don’t waste your life, nothing is more important than your own life."

Lira held her head while pouting angrily. Seeing me leave she followed me walking, though the whole way she had that annoyed look and her lips turned up.

We walked back to the village where all the girls were already at the entrance in their combat clothes in formation. It seemed they expected the monster to be chasing me so they could attack it.

"Come on girls, you shouldn’t underestimate me that way! It was just a giant goblin, nothing too difficult."

Seeing me the girls relaxed.

"It’s a relief to see you well boss, too bad you missed the spectacle of all this running all the way back..."

Riven’s words were very suggestive, but just when I thought that was it she leaned close to my ear and whispered.

"If you want to see it more closely you can come to my hut anytime."

Her words were provocative and had the desired effect, my dick was about to explode but we were in front of everyone to just throw myself and dominate her on the ground. I walked to the river to wash off the goblin blood and reduce my erection.

After a few minutes Manaia arrived and began to check my body while asking.

"Do you have any injuries?"

"A little, my shoulder got pretty banged up."

"Let me check it, don’t move."

"..."

"Your shoulder is completely fractured and splintered, I’m surprised you’re not crying from pain."

"I’m pretty tough, you should know that better than anyone hahaha."

"Don’t move, we’ll have time to play in a bit."

[Healing lvl1]

Her ability felt refreshing on my shoulder. I could feel her power setting my bones and putting them back in place with no pain at all. After twenty seconds Manaia fell to the ground pale and sweating. I approached her and carried her like a princess before running off to take her to her hut.

Zyra was on her way and seeing me run naked with Manaia in my arms she just pretended not to see anything and walked the other way while saying.

"You guys could wait until you’re alone before taking off your clothes, you know... You’re just tempting us."

Although her voice was low I could easily hear her. I wasn’t going to screw her, well... not yet. I just needed to lay her down to rest, she had suffered an MP exhaustion rebound. It was a very common occurrence and didn’t risk the user’s life, they would just have extreme exhaustion for a day, everyone had to go through this until they learned their own limits.

I arrived at her hut and laid her down to rest. She looked incredibly beautiful like an angel, too bad I won’t be able to devastate her cunt today. After changing I checked my new abilities, nearly twenty new ones had unlocked, some didn’t seem that useful like [Self Dispel]. I had Manaia and in the future it was likely that Leila and Lyra could obtain those abilities, so I didn’t see the point in spending points on unnecessary abilities. After searching for a while I chose my next three abilities, leaving one point for an emergency.

[Lunar Senses lvl 1]: Night vision, and increased hearing, "Under the moonlight there can be no darkness."

[Beast Tamer lvl 1]: Seal that allows the user to enslave a human or non-human target.

[Temporal Evaluation lvl 1]: Allows to reveal the secrets of any object, even its past to better know its future.

"Hahahaha!"

I couldn’t hold back my laughter. I searched for that ability everywhere when I first arrived, what kind of otaku doesn’t want to be able to enslave others? Unfortunately in the Soaring Dragon kingdom anyone discovered to have this ability disappears without a trace, saying it’s the goddess’s punishment... A bunch of stupid, blinded religious people...
