What's this feeling?
Warmth spread throughout my body, a sensation so soothing and relaxing that it felt almost surreal. It was an overwhelming sense of comfort, as if every muscle and bone in my body was being gently coaxed into a state of blissful tranquility.
When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was a golden glow, and then the face of an extraordinarily beautiful woman ca into view. No, she wasn't just beautiful; she was stunning, the second most beautiful woman I had ever seen, second only to Khione. Her long, light blue hair and golden eyes were a perfect fit for her ethereal beauty, and her glasses added a unique allure.
Her gentle smile was directed at , filled with warmth and kindness.
Wait. I shook my head, trying to clear the fog from my mind. Her presence was almost overpowering, like being enveloped in a comforting, yet overwhelming aura.
"N...Nathan!" I heard Alia's voice nearby. She had tears in her eyes as she looked at , her concern evident.
Courtney stood next to her, equally worried. "Are you okay?!"
Turning to my other side, I saw Siara, her usually composed face now etched with worry. "Nathan, are you alright?" she called out, a level of concern I hadn't seen in her in three years.
Sienna was there too, gently stroking my hair with a small, reassuring smile.
It felt strange, almost foreign, to have so many people worried about . For the longest ti, it had only been Phoebe who cared, and even she had left.
"Do you feel better, Hero Nathan?" the blue-haired woman asked, her gentle gaze resting on .
I shifted my attention to the giant man standing next to her, his presence radiating a dangerous aura, before returning my gaze to the woman.
"I suppose it is thanks to you. Thank you," I said, raising my upper body with a groan.
"You are welco." The woman's smile widened.
"Who are you, Lady?" Alia asked, her curiosity and caution evident.
"Oh, yes, you have never seen
before. Let
introduce myself," the woman said, taking a step back and bowing gracefully. "I am Liphiel, a Rank Three Divine Knight of the Empire of Light."
Just when I thought I had dealt with Radakel, another Divine Knight appeared. Did she co sensing the danger? Was she sent by the higher-ups because of the situation?
"Rank Three?" Courtney echoed the question on everyone's mind.
"Radakel didn't explain it to you? We Divine Knights are ranked according to our abilities, from Six being the lowest to One being the highest. Radakel is a Rank Five Divine Knight, and I am two ranks higher than him," Liphiel explained with a smile.
Khione had already explained the ranking system to , but the reality of facing a Rank Three Divine Knight was daunting. I had barely managed to defeat Radakel with an extraordinary amount of luck, and now this...
I would definitely need to ask Khione about her. This did not bode well at all.
"Lady Liphiel... about Lord Radakel..." Alia's face was conflicted, concern and hesitation battling for dominance.
"Oh, there is nothing to worry about. I saved him," Liphiel said nonchalantly.
My eyes widened in shock at her words, but I quickly masked my reaction. Was she serious? My spear had pierced through Radakel's stomach, destroying most of his internal organs.
"R...Really? That's a relief... I thought, judging from the attack, Lord Radakel had died..." Alia voiced what was on my mind.
"Hmm~ Radakel did indeed die, but I can resurrect people who have died recently. They won't be able to recover their strength and condition from before their death, though," Liphiel said.
Resurrect? What the hell?
"R...Resurrect? Is that even possible?" Siara asked, dumbfounded.
"Yes, I can! Fortunately, I didn't have to use it on Hero Nathan, but sothing is strange~" Liphiel said, putting a finger on her chin thoughtfully.
"What's strange? These Demons clearly hurt my brother to get answers from him," Sienna said, barely able to contain her anger.
Sienna... It made
happy to see her so concerned, but the truth was, I had done this to myself. In the end, I had managed to direct more hatred from my classmates towards the Demons, while also instilling fear of them. And Radakel was still alive.
No, I shouldn't think negatively like that. I had significantly weakened Radakel and forced a Rank Three Divine Knight out of hiding. More importantly, I had secured valuable allies on the Demon side.
"I examined his injuries, and you see, I feel like Hero Nathan's wounds weren't caused externally but rather internally," Liphiel said.
What? I did my best to keep my expression neutral.
"What do you an, Lady Liphiel?" I asked, feigning confusion.
Liphiel smiled, tilting her head. "I don't know~"
This woman...
"But Hero Nathan should rest. You shouldn't use mana to avoid reopening your internal wounds, understood?" she said in a scolding tone.
"Yeah..." I nodded.
"Then I will go ahead to heal the knights and the other Heroes," Liphiel said, walking off.
"I should also check on the students. Don't move too much, Nathan," Alia said before leaving.
As I stood up, Courtney tried to help , but I raised my hand to stop her, determined to walk on my own. I took a few tentative steps before walking normally. Had Liphiel really healed
completely? Even with my luck, her healing abilities had to be exceptional.
"You should rest, Nate," Siara said suddenly.
I was a bit surprised but smiled at her. "W...what?"
"Nothing, just rembering the first ti I asked you to call
that when we beca step-siblings. You refused outright," I said.
"That was three years ago…" Siara averted her gaze.
"True," I said before looking around. "What happened to the Demons?"
"They all disappeared suddenly," Sienna replied. "Even though knights surrounded the whole village, it's strange. Maybe there was an underground tunnel?"
"Oh, then the mission failed," I said, feeling the weight of my actions. We were here to eliminate the Demons, and they had all escaped because of . Of course, no one else knew that.
"N...Nathan." A voice rang out from behind.
It was Aisha. There was a mont of silence as we locked eyes.
"We'll leave then..." Sienna said, dragging a shocked Siara, who was looking between
and Aisha, away.
"Are you okay?" Aisha asked, her voice filled with concern.
I started walking along the empty streets of the village. "Sowhat."
"They hurt you?"
"Well, it's hard to explain, but it's my fault in the end," I replied ambiguously.
"Everyone thought you had been killed," Aisha muttered.
"Did you think that too?" I asked, glancing at her.
"I...I don't know, but I'm glad that you're still here," Aisha said softly.
I smiled. "I heard that you fought well against the Demons."
"Yes, but...I couldn't do anything against the strong ones...the last one," she murmured, her voice tinged with frustration.
"You did your best, and you have ti. It's been barely what? Two months?" I reassured her.
"But...hmmff!" I cut off Aisha with a kiss on her soft lips.
Aisha's eyes widened as she reached out to push
away, but I caught her right hand and pressed her against the wall of a nearby house, continuing the kiss.
"Hnn!"
Her cheeks flushed a deep red, and her body heated up under my touch. I wrapped my other hand around her waist, pulling her closer while licking her lips. "Open your mouth, Aisha," I whispered, my voice low and commanding.
"Haa????~~"
Overwheld by my words, Aisha parted her lips, her eyes moist with anticipation. I smirked and slid my tongue into her mouth.
"Hmnn~!!"
Feeling another tongue inside her mouth for the first ti, Aisha experienced a new, unfamiliar sensation. But it wasn't unpleasant. Far from it. I intertwined my tongue with hers, toying with her as I hungrily explored every corner of her mouth.
"Hmnnn!!"
When I took her tongue between my lips and sucked on it, Aisha's eyes lted with pleasure. Tears welled up and stread down her cheeks, which I eagerly licked away before letting go of her tongue.
"Haan…haaa~" Aisha breathed heavily, her face a deep shade of red as she gulped for air. Her hands, which had been resting on my chest, weakened and fell to the wall behind her.
"Hmn!"
She tried to pull away, but I kissed her again, this ti licking the saliva that dripped from her lips. "Thank you for the al, Aisha," I said, licking my lips with a satisfied grin.
Aisha averted her gaze, her face still flushed, and quickly ran away, overwheld by the intensity of the mont.
I will definitely take her one day.
