This Chapter contain a bit of Sexual scecn. Not going all out, just a bit.
Chapter 32
The warriors of Bergaritt
"Woo!" A man appeared from the sky, his large hammer smashed into the head of Twin Death scorpion ending its life in a flash, with a grin he wiped off the blood that splattered upon his tanned face.
"Damn! This thing is awesome! Where did ya get this, Karas?" He asked the young woman who was sitting on the rock behind him. She was sharpening a giant broadsword that was too large for her body.
"In the Ketosis dungeon. It's a lucky find. Probably from some dead adventurer there." She replied curtly as she went back to sharpen the huge steel in her lap.
"Well, it was a famous dungeon after all. And with the sudden incident of people suddenly appearing out of the sky that happened around 3 months ago, reckless people who want money to go home began taking on some dungeons and dying there." A similarly large man full of muscle and tan skin said out loud.
He was wearing only some pants and on his hip was a large mace.
"Oh? Well, not my problem! I got this cool new weapon after all!" The first man said.
"Shut up Karias. You're going to attract more monsters. Also shouldn't we start to prepare a camp now, Lemes?" Karas said, holding the huge steel on her shoulder.
Karias instantly shut his mouth but kept glaring at the hammer with glee while polishing it like a mad person.
"Ah, such youth." The old man Lemes said with a smile. He quickly gave them orders. Ordering Karias to hunt Treant for firewood while Karas will dismantle the Twin death scorpion for its meat and he will start up the tent.
The two nod and then go do what they were ordered. In just a few hours the once bright sun was leaving the sky instead the star shone brightly giving them a bit of light.
There was no moon tonight. The three of them were sitting around the campfire they made. Their Armadillo was curling itself into a ball near them too.
The Armadillo was their transport. It was strong, capable of pulling a carriage twice its size with ease. Its shell was hard making it able to defend itself, and they were also friendly.
Lemes lets out a sigh as he looks into the sky filled with countless stars. This was probably his last adventure. His old bone is starting to show its effect and he is unable to move as quickly as before.
Looking at the two youngsters, he felt proud of them. They were from the same group of children. Growing up with each other.
They work together well and are open to each other. When they ask him to teach them the basics of adventuring in Bergaritt he wants to refuse, but seeing the hope in their eyes he can only say yes, and at that moment he becomes their teacher.
Using the last remaining of his years to teach the young one was what made a warrior like him proud. Yes, he wasn't dying in the battle with honor but he didn't really care.
Because he is still alive, he is able to teach these two important lessons to survive. As they continue to talk through the night. Lemes noticed something.
The atmosphere is strange. In the crackling of wood burning and the laughter of Karias, there is a sound of wing flapping.
He grabs the mace near him making the two youngsters instantly tense up. They grab their weapon too and with the sound of wings flapping, dozens of giant Bats suddenly appear.
They surround Karas instantly and then with a sweet smell that would lure any man in, he sees a woman.
A woman in her twenties, her large bust attracts his eyes. Her slim waist and plumb-full thighs were luring him in. Her sweet voice was like a whisper in his ear.
But he knows not to be tempted. For more than 50 years since he started, he encountered them far more than 10 of times. It was to the point that their pheromone almost had no effect on him.
"Succubus. Well, it was a good final lesson for these young lads." He picks up his mace and instantly smashes it to the woman's head. Suddenly the illusion of a beautiful woman who was his type disappeared and instead, his mace was smashing the head of a woman with a Giant bat for its body.
He sighs lightly looking around. He saw Karas swing her Boardsword in an arc and kill 4 Giant bats instantly. They retreat in a flash as their leader is dead.
He looked at Karas and then back at Karias who was shaking. He was eyeing Karas full of lust. Lemes sighs and speaks out loud.
"Final lesson you two!" Gaining the attention of Karas while he was holding the lustful Karias. "Why do we go in pairs of men and women? It is because of these monsters. Succubus. You were lucky to not encounter them during the half years I trained you but from now on you know what to do right, Karas?"
Karas looks at him and nods. She dropped her weapon and began to take her clothes off one by one leaving her bare skin for the world to see.
Karias sees that and quickly starts to struggle more. Lemes sighs as he lets go of Karias and the young man instantly jumps into Karas's arms.
He watched as Karias took off all his clothes and instantly pulled his member out. His lust-filled eyes fall on the body of Karas.
Her toned muscle, Tan skin, and her resolute yet fearful eyes arouse him even more. He wasted no time and inserted his member in her and with a scream of pain from Karas they began to have sex.
Lemes watches the two of them from afar. He has to protect them from other monsters that might take advantage of their vulnerable moments.
The youngsters do it for hours after hours. Finally, Karias drops down in exhaustion along with Karas who already fainted from her first time.
He picks the two up and cleans them with water before clothing them up. Looking at them he was reminded of his younger years.
In his time there were many times he was done in by succubus and many women he was sleeping with got pregnant as a result.
He wondered if the two of them were his offspring but not seeing the closeness to him he just shrugged it off.
Putting them into the tent he then was left alone to watch the night by himself. At least the Armadillo was awake and was now keeping him company.
...
The next morning found its way in and the two youngsters were wide awake.
"Yo! I got done by the succubus right?" Karias asks as he rubs his eyes.
"Yeah, you did it quite a bit with Karas too. Maybe she got pregnant now and is carrying your child." Lemes joked lightly while he was preparing the food.
"It hurt quite a bit. His thing was a bit big and he was too ruthless for my first time." Karas said, her face still blank just like before. The two of them sat around him and began to talk about their experience last night while joking around.
He watches them with a smile. The two of them will become good warriors and if Karas is pregnant then she will give birth to a fine child.
He gives them each a stick full of yesterday's Scorpion meat. But before any of them could take it a sudden boom rang loud in the vast desert.
Lemes and others instantly pick up their weapon. The trio quickly made their way to where the explosion was and to his shock.
He stares at the several corpses of a large garuda. Most of them have a chunk of ice piercing its body.
"What the...I don't think I can even fight against this much…" Karias mutters in awe as he looks at more than a dozen corpses.
Karas remained silent but she was eyeing the Sand Garuda corpses.
Strong was the first thing he thought. The one who did this is strong. Not only is he or she capable of killing dozens of them. But to be able to leave a clean cut severing its head from the body.
He knew that a lone sand garuda was not that strong but for it to be cut clean while fighting as a group. Whoever did this must have some skill.
Boom!
A loud booming sound again. He wasted no time rushing to that place. The two followed him and came to a stop as he was standing there, shocked at what he saw.
A young woman, no older than 15, was fighting against the Tyrant Lizard. The natural predator of these areas.
Its large body capable of crushing anyone instantly comes with its large and strong jaw.
But the girl not only dodges all the attacks but she even counters them back with a straight slash from her sword.
The moment the black sword connects with the Tyrant Lizard body it bursts into flame and instantly leaves a burning mark on its skin.
Roar!
It roars out in pain as it staggers back. The girl holding her sword in a stance he never saw before rushed at it and with precision she cut straight through the body, making a large cut, and blood instantly burst out of it.
With its last remaining strength, the Lizard uses its long tail and smashes into the girl before collapsing to the ground, dying as light leaves its eyes.
The trio were stunned. Unable to move as they look at the dust of sand that has been filled with blood making it look like a red mist.
And from the dust emerges a girl, her Emerald green hair waves against the wind as she sheaths her sword back to its scabbard. Looking closely he noticed that the girl was even younger than 15. Probably around 14 or 13.
Such a young girl is capable of killing an A-rank monster alone with no injury was a grand feat. But she walked out of it like she didn't care about what she just did.
She walked back toward where the Sand Garuda corpses were and after searching for a bit she found her sled that was covered by body after body of the Garudas.
The girl takes her sled and pulls it while walking away from the corpses without looking at them. She was walking to the east away from the village.
Finally waking up from his stun, Lemes quickly yells for the girl.
"Hey! Where are you going, girl!?" The girl hears his yell and suddenly turns back with a quick reflex.
She mutters something under her breath then tears fall out of her eyes as she rushes toward them.
…
Lucelia Pov
Roar!
Letting out its final roar, the T-rex like Lizard slammed its large tail at me. I cut it off without much effort, making it pass between me and falling behind.
Dust filled with its blood rises up against the impact of the fall. I walk out while leaving the Lizard's body for other monsters to come to eat it. I don't have a use for it. And with my last...hunt I was quite filled with food in my sled now.
Walking back to a mountain of corpses of the bird-looking thing. I make my way back to where I put my sled. After looking for a bit I finally found it. It was buried by a mountain of those bird corpses.
Man...how did it come to this? More than two months have already passed, I think? I keep track of it to some extent but it should be around that.
The first month I spent was to make my way down from that godforsaken mountain! Honestly why the fuck did an oasis covered by mountains!?
I was lost in that damn thing for so long that I actually lost all my smoke fish! What more the monster was fucking annoying!
Spider-like lizard, Flying birds the size of a fricking cat, and a fucking Rat the size of a freaking horse! What's more, the tooth was covered by something crystal-like, so I avoided getting bitten by it. I saw what happened to those who got bitten. One of the monsters was turning into something like a crystal.
But nevertheless, I manage to come out on top and leave the mountain. But you know what awaits me? Nothing but sand! Ha! No matter where I look I found nothing but sand everywhere!
After walking with no direction in my mind(Fuck the sun. I can't tell the direction from it!) I finally found the first sign of life!
You know what it is? A giant freaking group of birds! I kill them but a lot of them manage to run away...well, flying away. Anyway, I got a lot of food from that hunt.
And after that, it was quite peaceful for two weeks...until I found a group of this thing. And that T-rex! Honestly! It was flying away from the T-rex but it ran into me and decided I'm an easy pick? Fuck this place!
"...so where do I go next-"
"Hey! Where are you going, girl!?" A voice. A human male voice! I turned around quickly and found 3 people. One was an old man waving at me. The others were a Guy who looked kind of stupid and a girl in their 16 to 17 holding a large chunk of metal.
My first...human interaction in more than a month after the incident...My face suddenly feels a bit wet but I don't care about that. I ditch my sled and run toward the old man.
Stumping in my footsteps. Fall down flat toward the sand…
…
Silence...Everything was silent…
"Phw- Bahahaha! That girl is an idiot! She stumped over nothing! Ahaha!" The young man laughed.
I didn't poke my head up in embarrassment. Ugh! I want to die! But wait...I quickly get up unbothered by the sand that gets in my clothes and walk toward them.
After arriving toward them face to face I was stunned in my place.
What do I say to them! I don't know what to ask! I'm not a social butterfly! Uh-! M-maybe this!
"Um-!"
"Ahem!"
"Oh! Uh- you first."
"Uh! You first!"
… me and the old man were speaking at the same time. He coughed again and gestured to me to go first.
"Uh...Hello. I'm Lucelia Greyrat. And as you can see I'm not local." I introduce myself. This is something that Elinalise always said to do first when talking to other people. Well, it was common etiquette.
"Umu. My name is Lemes, that guy ogling the girl is Karias and the girl in question is Karas. Nice to meet you." He extends his hand into a handshake and I take it.
We continue to shake in silence as we both don't know what to say to each other.
"Um...Are you alone, miss?"
"...Yes. The Moment I woke up, I was in an unfamiliar land. It was barren. And no sign of life until I arrived at the oasis two months ago."
"I see...you were in the northern region huh. You said that you woke up in an unfamiliar land, did you come out of the sky too?"
Eh...come out of the sky? I was hit by that light and then the next thing I knew was that I was lying down on the sand with a broken body...broken body…
"Maybe...my body is stronger than most and the sand may have cushioned my fall. You said too...does that mean there are others?" I said my voice raised up a bit.
I was beginning to panic a little. Why did I think that was just me, Rudy, Eris, and Ghislaine? The light was hit directly on the city! That means...That means Lord Sauros and Lord Phillip...Lady Hilda and all the other maids!
"Ah...Most of them didn't survive the fall. Some were lucky and appeared on the ground, some were less fortunate and appeared inside the ground and got crushed to death." Old man Lemes said.
My heart sank. What if...What if one of them was Rudy?
"Is there any boy! A-around ten years old! Brown hair, green eyes, and a mole under his left eye!" I ask him. My hand was gripping his harder and harder to the point that he let out a groan.
The other two quickly took their weapon and aimed at me but the old man raised his hand up for them to stop.
"There is no boy that fits the description...at least not the one I know." He said. I let go of his hand and collapsed down on the floor.
The image of Rudy's broken body appears in my mind. He screaming for help and I was unable to do anything…
I feel something shaking inside of me. For the second time in this life. I feel scared...I feel scared about what might happen to Rudy. To Eris. To Ghislaine.
"I-is there…a survivor nearby?" I ask. My voice barely whispers.
"There is. Come I will take you to the village. It's going to take at least 2 or 3 weeks for us to reach it." I nod at him.
I decided to trust him and together we left for his village.
