Chapter 96: The Grind Continues…

Cinthia didn’t want to think that he might be dead, it was the first time she felt so attached to someone.

Someone who could match her energy and excitement in battle, and didn’t have any ulterior motives or plot against her.

She felt really relaxed whenever she came to train, which is why she had increased the training hours.

They were practically together the whole daytime.

“El, is there no news of him?” she muttered, constantly sending him messages.

“No, I still can’t reach him. I just found the news that a strange phenomenon is occurring in that place, things aren’t clear but it seems there is big trouble.”

Cinthia’s frown deepened, she hadn’t even seen her disciple yet.

“Haa, I was finally able to find the three Diamond class Domain cores for him, just send everything I prepared to him.” She said after making up her mind.

“But there is a high chance it might be lost in the transaction, o- or he might already be…” El didn’t finish but the meaning was clear.

“…It doesn’t matter, these were prepared for him anyway. They are meaningless otherwise.” The snake princess spoke sternly.

“I understand, I will make the one way transaction.” El said, instantly finishing the task.

Cinthia just sighed, hoping he was alright and could come meet her as soon as possible, if only she could help him.

Day after day she returned to the clash realm only to be filled with disappointment, and only after a long time did she receive a message from him.

***

Neil faced a mythic class creature, although both he and Magnar had increased their strength greatly, fighting it was still very difficult.

He died many times, but his determination was stronger than ever.

It was a Sloth Leech, a strange creature which possessed high speed and high defence, making it very tricky to kill this thing.

Its attack power wasn’t too difficult so Neil didn’t die as many times as he expected, though the battle was taking too much time.

Both Magnar and Neil had to go all out, covering the leech’s body with countless wounds before they finally managed to kill it.

[You have defeated the Mythic Class Sloth Leech!!]

[You have cleared the Nest!!]

Neil fell back panting heavily as he lay beside his familiar and the corpse of the Sloth Leech.

He had tried all sorts of creative things with Aquamorph but it just wouldn’t die.

This thing alone took over thirteen hours before they finally managed to defeat it.

“HUFF… I am so exhausted, I can’t… haa… feel my body…” Neil mumbled, but the outcome was great.

He glanced at his inventory and pulled out the mythic gene point, removing the cap and drinking it quickly.

Instantly, an intense wave of energy exploded inside and outside of his body.

Neil’s body trembled, his body turning very hot and blood rushing through his veins, he almost transformed into a phantom.

The reaction was way too dramatic, and it lasted more than ten minutes.

Instantly his body was full of energy and essence, he shared some of the gene potions he had obtained earlier with Magnar.

Soon his familiar was energized too.

But still, he decided to take a short break.

[You have obtained 8,000 shards.]

“Oh, not bad.” Then he looked at the last reward from the loot.

[You have obtained Bubble!]

“Hmm?” Curiously he opened its information.

『

[Bubble]

[Description]: A bubble that when activated covers you and hides your presence, providing a certain amount of protection while staying completely hidden.

』

“Hide my presence… it could come in handy, sigh.” Neil sighed upon seeing that it was not again those bombs, it was such a great relief.

He dropped the blood of the Bogu.

[Blood of a Diamond class Bogu detected!]

[Would you like to start the creation of a Mythic class creature?]

“Yes.” Neil walked out and inhaled the scent of Ileana, his senses had become so much better.

Her fragrance was truly intoxicating.

Then putting Magnar near Nemo who was getting charged up in the core room, he walked back towards his room.

They had been just away for a little over twelve hours, yet he was starting to miss Ileana.

All the buildings were covered by the swords, according to Neil’s orders they barely walked out of the buildings.

Only Ray and Fay transferred food here and there or the dwarves came out for some tasks or to help them.

Neil drank the gene potions he had obtained after killing all those ten tailed scorpions, shared some with Magnar and looked at his status.

『

(Bronze): 842/1000

(Silver): 399/500

(Gold): 89/100

(Diamond): 5/5

(Mythic): 1/2

』

After one more mythic class gene potion, his strength would almost reach the peak of 2nd Origin.

Without the nest and shop, his growth wouldn’t be so fast, then there was this slipping disc which seemed to be reaching its limit.

’Looks like I will have to pause, can’t risk damaging it.’ He had used it too many times in just a day.

It can be used infinitely but needs some gaps in between.

“Eli,” he called out, pushing open the door.

Ileana was standing in a beautiful red dress, looking absolutely stunning, making Neil pause just to bless his eyes with the sight.

She was arranging the food, a task she had done several times while waiting for him.

Walking up to her, Neil hugged Ileana from behind, surprising the beautiful healer.

“You are done? Let me see if you got any injuries.” She turned around, carefully looking him up and down.

And indeed there were many injuries, her warm glowing soft palms cupped his cheek as the injuries began to heal.

“Are you done with the Nest?” she asked, knowing that fighting was inevitable and getting injured too.

She would just do her part and support him in any way.

“Not yet, one more battle and I will be done. Don’t worry, it won’t be as dangerous now.” Neil said, leaning forward and giving a soft quick kiss.

After giving each other their first times, the intimacy between the two had increased.

Ileana looked even more beautiful and mature, and as always she was quite active.

It was she who made the first move, if not for her taking the initiative, they might not be in a relationship.

“We will be staying here for some time, I will need to create some chaos outside.”

Neil shared his thoughts, in front of her he felt completely relaxed and didn’t need to hide anything.

He quickly freshened up and returned to find her standing her right outside the door.

Taking his hand she pulled him to the bed, then softly pushed him down, making him sit.

With a graceful sway, she lowered herself onto his lap, soft buttocks gently nestled over his thighs, moving a bit until she found a comfortable position.

Her legs draped elegantly off to one side as she leaned onto his chest.

Neil could feel a burning heat over his thighs at their contact, adding her fragrance, it literally took his breath away.

“Let me feed you, hubby…” she spoke, eyes full of tenderness.

While they ate, Neil explained his plans to her and even asked her opinions on several things.

Then they discussed her visions and just random things.

Anything was interesting as long as he could hear Ileana’s melodic and hypnotizing voice.

After eating, they left the utensils outside, deciding to deliver them back to the kitchen later and slipped under the sheet, the room once again becoming lively.
