“Yes, it’s all your fault! Teacher, you know, now I have to constantly remind myself that you are my teacher, another mother who watched me grow up. I have to keep telling myself that you are an ‘old woman’ so that I can fight against those thoughts in my heart that even I find filthy. Lust once told me that I could make any woman crawl at my feet, but only with you, I dare not have even the slightest thought of desecration, because you are Menivel! My most respected teacher!”
Looking at her somewhat unfamiliar disciple and listening to him pour out his heart, Meneville understood for the first time his inner struggle. The disappointment on her face gradually faded, replaced by a compassionate love that bordered on pity.
She sighed softly. "So, this is the root of your suffering? Because you had thoughts about me that you shouldn't have, but you dared not, were unwilling, and were unable to act on them, so you could only vent your powerless tyranny on innocent people?"
El froze, staring at his teacher's stunningly beautiful face so close to his own, and forced himself to admit, "That's right! That's exactly it."
Meniere raised her hand, not to slap him to wake him up, but to gently stroke his cheek.
Her fingertips were icy cold, as if they carried the temperature of a lake, which could quickly calm one down.
“Bad child, such a bad child,” she murmured to herself, her eyes becoming complicated. “Since this pain is caused by me, then so be it.”
Then, to El's astonishment, Meniver did something that shocked him greatly. She slowly unbuttoned the collar of her ranger outfit, revealing a fair neck and delicate collarbone. Her eyes remained clear and bright, and she was ready to sacrifice herself.
“Use me as you please.” Her tone was terrifyingly calm. “If you feel that only this can quell your inner pain, can help you regain a shred of reason, and prevent you from becoming a complete slave to the power of sin, then unleash your desires on me.”
Meniver tilted her head back slightly and closed her beautiful eyes. "It's just a body. Do whatever you want with it. This is the last thing your teacher can do for you." The intention conveyed in her words was crystal clear. "Use your power. Treat me like you treated them. Humiliate me, defile me, control me. Make me your vessel for venting your desires. As long as it makes you happy, as long as it stops you from hurting the innocent, I'm willing."
"No, that's impossible!"
How could he bear to do that?!
That was his teacher, the great woman who held his hand patiently in his childhood, teaching him about everything in the world, letting him rest his head on her ample bosom when he was exhausted, and selflessly giving him guidance and help when he encountered difficulties.
"Teacher, are you crazy? Or do you think I'm crazy? How could I possibly treat you like this? How could I dare? How could I be worthy of you..."
Looking at his teacher's solemn and self-sacrificing posture, he felt a heartache so intense he could hardly breathe.
"I swear, I would rather fall into the abyss forever than allow myself to harm you in the slightest!"
This vow stunned Meniver, and then she felt immense relief and pride, knowing that she had never misjudged anyone.
The truly noble things in the world are never status, lineage, reputation, or position, but rather the selfless love between one individual and another.
However, Meniere did not give up her idea. She knew that after the child became "lustful", he was eager to achieve results and absorbed countless lustful emotions indiscriminately, which even affected his originally gentle temperament. It was like a flood that always needs a place to release its pent-up emotions.
So she stepped forward, opened her arms, and hugged him tightly—an embrace devoid of desire.
Then, the pure and vast water elemental power within her body poured out without reservation. The gentle power instantly enveloped El's body, beginning the most thorough purification. It forcefully soothed the knot in his heart caused by absorbing too much lustful emotion, like a mother gently comforting a frantic infant.
At this moment, the lustful authority within El only let out a disdainful sneer in the face of this holy water elemental power.
How could an evil force that existed since the beginning of creation be so easily dispelled?
Al felt his body soften little by little under the teacher's warm embrace and the all-encompassing flow of water. His nerves, which had been tense for many days, relaxed, and his excessively intense emotions receded quickly like the tide, leaving only a deep sense of exhaustion.
He instinctively hugged his teacher back, burying his face deep in the crook of her neck, feeling an urge to take a nap.
Menivel gently patted Al's back, her voice so tender it could melt water: "It's alright, it's alright now, your teacher is here."
However, while comforting him, Menivel was also enduring the backlash from the power of lust. She clearly felt that lust was silently winding around her soul's origin along her magic circuits and then leaving a mark. This was not a conscious manipulation by El, but rather an instinctive counterattack and spontaneous act of protecting its master by the power of sin.
Meniver held her disciple, who was gradually calming down, in her arms, feeling the mark that clung to her soul. She sighed silently, "In the end, I'm still stuck with trouble. If this continues, won't I lose my virginity to him sooner or later?"
Chapter 160 Sea Monster Attack
The next day, Menivel, accompanied by El, approached Leonardo and, in front of her disciple, clearly stated her attitude: "Leonardo, after spending these past few days together, I have fully felt your enthusiasm, but frankly, I have not seen any qualities in you sufficient to receive the Holy Sword. In other words, you are not qualified to become a hero. So, please give up on this idea and do not bother us any further. After all, it has already made my disciple unhappy."
Upon hearing this, Leonardo's face instantly turned extremely ugly. Forcing himself to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor, he stiffly defended himself: "Grand Master Merlin, have you misunderstood something? I..."
"No need for further explanation. I think I have made myself clear enough. Please focus on your duties on this mission."
Leonardo forced a smile and said, "Your Excellency, I will prove it to you with my actions!" He bowed and then left dejectedly.
Anger, resentment, and the humiliation of being belittled filled his heart. He desperately needed to find a sense of belonging to prove that he was not worthless. So, he went to his two teammates, hoping to get their continued encouragement and support.
“Sigh! Kalia.” He spoke in his usual tone, “You have no idea what I just faced! Merlin… that scoundrel, she must have been tricked by that damned servant. Needless to say, that guy is jealous of me, but all he does is talk bad about me behind my back. I could tell at a glance that he has no real ability, but it doesn’t matter. As long as the three of us work together, we will definitely be able to prove it…”
"Please stop being so self-righteous, okay?" Kalia abruptly interrupted him, then exploded. The camaraderie she once shared as a teammate was gone, replaced by raw disgust.
"Stop your disgusting hypocrisy, you self-righteous, arrogant, and incompetent piece of trash. 'Working together,' huh? What do you take us for? Slaves to be summoned and dismissed at will? Don't you want to see what you've done these past few days? You've been circling around Merlin like a peacock in heat, leaving us hanging. You even made excuses when I approached you to discuss tactics, saying you didn't have time. When have you ever cared about Bella and me? It was the same when we went to wipe out the gluttonous cannibal. Did you even care about our lives? Get lost and don't bother me."
"What?" Leonardo was stunned. He had never imagined that Kalia, who had always shown him, the captain, such respect, would say such a long string of slanderous things about him. That wretched woman! How could she say such vicious and merciless things?
He was trembling with rage, pointing at Kalia: "You! You damned bitch, how dare you..."
"What about me?" Kalia crossed her arms, her eyes filled with contempt, and said disdainfully, "Go ahead and kill me if you dare, or are you planning to use your status as the heir of your family to intimidate me? Save your breath. Without that damn family, you're nothing, not even a qualified adventurer!"
After she finished yelling, Kalia left on her own, as if she didn't care to breathe the same fresh air as him.
What's wrong with me today? Why are all these unlucky things happening at once?
Leonardo clutched his head in pain and squatted on the ground. After recovering, he ran to Bella, hoping that this gentle and kind girl could at least understand his predicament. It was as if he had completely forgotten that he had once fantasized about kicking the two of them aside after gaining Merlin's approval and obtaining the Holy Sword, and finding teammates who were more worthy of being called "heroes".
Bella sat quietly in her room, her posture still as gentle and charming as ever.
Upon seeing her, Leonardo grasped at her like a last straw and began to complain: "Bella! Kalia is insane! Even if she's angry with me, she shouldn't have insulted me and my family like that. Even if she apologizes, I will never forgive her!"
Bella slowly raised her head and gazed at him quietly. Leonardo was stunned, because he noticed that Bella's usually clear brown eyes had turned into a bright pink. He stammered, "What... what happened to your eyes?"
“Mr. Leon, this has nothing to do with you.” Bella’s voice remained gentle. “Let’s talk about your matter. It sounds like Miss Kalia insulted you. Well then, I apologize on her behalf. Please forgive her rudeness.” Then, she changed the subject. “But I think Miss Kalia’s words are not entirely without merit.”
Bella paused, then continued, "Given your recent behavior, it's truly disappointing. Don't tell me you have your reasons. Even if you had a reason to leave us, you should have explained it to us beforehand. After all, we're teammates who've been through thick and thin together, aren't we? Of course, none of that matters anymore. I think that after completing this mission, we should go our separate ways and can no longer travel together as teammates."
Leonardo was struck dumb. "What? Have you gone mad too, Bella? What's going on?"
“No, I am perfectly clear-headed,” Bella interrupted him, her tone still calm. “The goddess once taught us that if two people do not share the same path, how can they walk together?”
"Good, you are all doing very well!"
Leonardo finally broke down completely. His handsome face contorted in pain, and he uttered a harsh threat before slamming the door and leaving. "How dare you look down on me and betray me! Just wait, I'll make you all pay the price!"
……
After seven days at sea, the fleet had reached the edge of the storm's eye, and the sky had become unusually gloomy. Thick, leaden-gray clouds hung low over the sea, and a heavy, oppressive atmosphere permeated the air, foreshadowing an impending storm.
Captain Abbotton solemnly ordered the sailors to lower the sails and prepare for the storm.
"This damn weather, it changes in an instant! To hell with the Eye of the Storm!" An old sailor spat, gripping the rope tightly as he climbed onto the lookout tower, using Eagle Eye to survey his surroundings.
Soon, he noticed a huge shadow approaching the port side of the "Sea Serpent" and immediately shouted at the top of his lungs, "Enemy attack! Sea monster! Port side!"
The adventurers were already on high alert. Upon hearing the warning, they all rushed to the left side of the ship. They saw the seawater churning violently, and a huge, terrifying shadow was rapidly rising from the surface. Then, several thick tentacles tore through the water and slammed into the deck of the "Sea Serpent".
What an inauspicious start! We were attacked as soon as we entered the eye of the storm.
"It's a giant squid, a fully grown female giant squid!" Captain Abaddon roared. "There's nothing to be afraid of, wizards! Wizards! What are you waiting for? Don't let this beast's slimy tentacles dirty my ship!"
"Everyone, charge!"
Leonardo ultimately did not give up the idea of showing off in front of Meniver. At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten the humiliation he had just suffered and showed the qualities that a great knight should have. He shouted and waved his longsword, forcefully severing a tentacle.
The battle was about to break out, and the adventurers displayed their unique skills, with arrows, fireballs, ice arrows and all kinds of attacks flying at once, making the scene extremely chaotic.
Chapter 161 In times of crisis, heroes are beautiful
Kalia activated a magic circle, skillfully creating dozens of fireballs that bombarded the tentacles, while Bella stared at the enormous tentacles for a moment, then raised a holy light shield to protect the nearby crew.
Leonardo frantically slashed at the tentacles in front of him, his eyes occasionally glancing in the direction of El and Menivel. He realized their attention wasn't on him at all, and his resentment grew even stronger.
Just then, a tentacle swept across, and he quickly dodged it. After being forced back, he happened to be near Kalia.
A dark thought then sprouted in Leonardo's mind. He sneered inwardly, "Hmph, you bitch, you'll pay for insulting me!"
"Kalia, watch out behind you!" he shouted, rushing towards Kalia. The fire mage's attention was drawn to him, and she instinctively looked back, only to find nothing behind her. What happened next was even more unexpected. Just as Leonardo approached, he subtly delivered an elbow strike to Kalia.
"Ah!" Caught off guard, the staff flew out of her hand. Kalia felt a sharp pain in her wrist. To make matters worse, the impact caused her to lose her balance and fall directly into the sea, about to plunge into the gaping maw of a sea monster filled with sharp teeth!
A glint of vengeful pleasure flashed in Leonardo's eyes, but he disguised it perfectly, immediately rushing forward to feign grief, "Kalia!"
At that critical moment, a figure, even faster than him, jumped off the ship.
Just as Kalia was about to die, El grabbed her arm and forcefully pulled her back from the sea monster's gaping maw. Then, he held her and moved her around on the sea monster's slippery body.
Kalia was still in shock, her face pale, but her eyes were full of gratitude as she looked at El, and she couldn't help but give him a kiss: "I knew you wouldn't let me die!"
El didn't answer, but coldly looked up at the culprit on the ship. Since morning, this guy's favorability rating had turned into [hatred], so El had been wary of him. Unexpectedly, he had an unexpected gain. Just now, he had witnessed the scene of him ruthlessly pushing his teammate into the sea.
Leonardo was startled. If Kalia testified against him, things would be in trouble!
But the act had to continue, so he had to put on a surprised smile: "Fugen! You saved her! That's great! Hold on, I'll pull you up..."
El had no time to deal with this guy. He grabbed Kalia and jumped into the sea. Then he activated the power of lust, stimulating and amplifying its most primal instincts, causing it to enter estrus prematurely. It kept waving its tentacles, and these courtship actions turned into even more violent attacks on the ship.
Under the influence of lust, the sea monster's specialized reproductive organs are stimulated, becoming engorged and everted. This is actually a physiological reaction of an extreme craving for mating that cannot be satisfied.
Driven by its reproductive instincts, it became increasingly ferocious, treating everything around it as a "mate," grabbing it with its tentacles, and then tightly binding it, trying to find a mate that did not exist at all. In the end, it captured Leonardo.
Leonardo's face turned deathly pale, and he frantically pleaded for help: "Save me, Lord Merlin, save me, I don't want to die!"
But soon, he was unable to make any sound...
Hormone secretion reached its peak, but it was still unable to mate normally. Under these circumstances, the sea monster went completely mad. Subsequently, it was ordered by its low-intelligence brain to start laying eggs. A large number of huge, gel-like egg masses were expelled from its body through its cloaca and floated in the seawater mixed with dark blue blood and foul-smelling mucus.
These eggs could not be fertilized, and were therefore destined to never give birth to life. Moreover, this forced birth came at a considerable cost, almost quickly depleting its life force, causing its enormous body to gradually sink to the bottom of the sea.
This former deep-sea overlord was dragged into a breeding hell, and was eventually tortured to death by insatiable desires, ending its life in a very undignified way.
The churning waves on the sea gradually subsided, leaving only the wrecked "Sea Serpent" and the still-shaken crew.
"It...it was driven away?" a sailor asked, trembling.
"It should be,"
Captain Abaddon wiped his livid face, rushed to the ship's side, and shouted at the sea with lingering rage, "You damned beast, come back here! I'll kill you, you monster, and you'll pay for my beloved ship with your life!"
……
The battle was over, and everyone began to tally the casualties and injuries. A total of two adventurers and three crew members had unfortunately perished, while the surviving adventurers all had some injuries from the close-quarters combat.
The situation on the Sea Serpent was even worse. The hull was damaged in many places, and seawater was seeping in through the cracks. The deck was covered with a lot of disgusting slime and foul-smelling blue blood. Captain Abbotton, a veteran of many storms, immediately directed the sailors to carry out emergency repairs.
A storm soon arrived, and raindrops the size of soybeans pounded on the deck, helping to wash away the dirt. The Sea Serpent was violently tossed about in the surging waves, just like a message in a bottle abandoned at sea.
Following the captain's instructions, Al and Menivel returned to their rooms.
The master and apprentice sat facing each other, gazing at the churning sea outside the window, rainwater leaving meandering trails on the glass.
“Teacher…” El took off his clothes, which were soaked with seawater, and the shirt underneath, revealing his bare upper body, and broke the silence first, “Why don’t you say something? Don’t you have anything you want to ask me?”
“El,” Meniver spoke softly, “tell me, how do you feel right now?”
El was silent for a moment. He knew what his teacher was asking—she had just witnessed him forcibly driving a sea monster into estrus, ovulation, and eventual death. It wasn't just a battle; to put it more bluntly, it was playing with life.
But he couldn't lie to his teacher. "It felt great," he admitted in a low voice. "The feeling of being able to kill it so easily was really great."
Meniver seemed unsurprised. She reached out and gently patted his head, her voice soft: "I guess the laws you've grasped are related to reproduction and union, right? If possible, I hope you won't use this ability to punish, torture, or toy with life in the future..."
"That sea monster was just hunting on instinct. If you encounter it, you can certainly kill it, but you shouldn't torture and kill it for pleasure. Just like that guy, although he was despicable, he shouldn't have been killed by the sea monster in that way... Never lose your most basic respect for life!"
Just then, there was a gentle knock on the hatch.
Menneville frowned slightly and looked towards the doorway.
"Who?" El asked.
Kalia's passionate voice came from outside the door: "Yes, it's me, Kalia, Fugen, open the door quickly, I can't wait until tonight!"
Chapter 162 Enjoying the Fun Together
Menneville glared at El in annoyance, sighed silently, then got up, walked to the shadows in the corner, turned into a puddle of water, and quietly left.
El walked over and opened the door. Kalia was standing outside. She had obviously just gone back to her room to change into some dry clothes and tidy herself up.
Upon seeing his bare upper body, Kalia was immediately aroused. She took the initiative to lift her shirt, revealing a thin linen shirt underneath, and showing off her curvaceous figure.
Her face was flushed, her eyes were full of wildness, and she was striking seductive poses. She was clearly aroused by his "heroic rescue" and couldn't wait to offer herself to him.
"What, you're not going to let me in?"
"Please come in." El smiled helplessly and stepped aside to make way for him.
Kalia walked in, her eyes scanning the room instinctively. She thought she had heard women talking earlier, but seeing no other women, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She stood in front of El, looking at him with an unusual light in her eyes. Then, she took a step forward, affectionately wrapped her arms around his neck, and began to kiss his cheek.
“Just now I really thought I was going to die, and no one could save me, but you jumped down without regard for the danger. At that moment, I knew…” Her expression became extremely infatuated, “I knew I hadn’t misjudged you. You are different from other men. You have an irresistible magic about you.”
Al didn't push her away, but said softly, "Before we go to bed, I have something to tell you—your current fervent love for me and your strong urge to give yourself to me are not natural, but rather something I orchestrated. In other words, you are just a pathetic victim, a tool I use to satisfy my dark psychology. So, it's not too late to back out now. Get dressed, go back to your room, and get a good night's sleep. I can help you forget all the unpleasant things that have happened recently, including me, of course."
"But I love you! Fugen, I know this isn't your real name, and you're definitely not an ordinary person. Whatever your real name and identity are, it doesn't matter. Since you saved me, my life belongs to you. Is that all a lie?"
