Chapter 56 Basic Magic

"Hold on, I am not a woman like you who can just keep squirting juices!" I said, backing away as Listenia tried to grab my slowly drooping cock.

"Why not?!"

"Do you know how a gun works?" I asked, and Listenia nodded. "Well, think of my cock as a gun. When it's cocked or loaded, I have a proverbial bullet in my chamber. When I came in your mouth, that discharged the bullet, and now my body has to reload."

"How long does that take? Listenia asked as she stood up.

"Depends, really. I don't think there is an exact time it takes. It also eliminates my desire to have sex until I am excited and stiff again," I explained, and Listenia nodded.

"You are a bizarre creature. I could almost place you in the same category as monsters," Listenia said as she straightened her clothing and armor.

"I should be good in about an hour, but we can cross that bridge when we get there. I had a lot of fun and can't wait to get you into an actual bed. This was fun, but I think you might like being tied up," I chuckled.

"You did things to me that I can't get out of my head. I have never had someone grab my throat and live to tell the story, but when you did it, it was much different. When you slapped my ass and sent the currents into me while healing… I am already starting to get wet again just thinking about it," Listentia said, reaching down to lift up her skirt.

Listenia reached down, pushed her two fingers down into her slit, and pulled them out, covered in her sticky juices.

"I mean, I can see, and believe me, if this gun came with a clip, I would still be dumping it into you. So, since we fucked, and that was fun, how about we go kill some stuff?" I asked, but Listenia didn't drop her skirt.

"But I am still wet and wanting? Doesn't your tongue or fingers work?" Listenia asked me, and I rolled my eyes.

"I have a cramp in my hand, and my tongue is tied. Now, about going to kill things. Remember, that was the original plan?" I asked, and Listenia dropped her skirt with a frown.

"You mean your original plan," Listenia said as she crossed her arms.

"Tomato, potato. Same difference," I said with a sigh, tempted just to run off by myself at this point.

Not that I didn't enjoy the fun with Listenia, but there was a time and place for things. That has passed now.

"Fine, but I would like for you to come to visit me tonight and sleep at my house. I am sure you will have bullets ready by then, right?" Listenia asked, and I nodded, not mentioning that I might run into other fun along the way.

"Sure, I will let Eliza know, but I don't think she will mind, not that it matters. I am my own person, and this mother fucker will go find a Terror Lizard!" I declared and started to walk away, passing over one of my glyphs.

"Wait! What about the Magic? Aren't you going to tell me now?" Listenia asked, and I turned back with a frown.

"Hmm? Tell you? I am pretty sure I told you the only way I would tell you any of this," I said, and Listenia frowned.

"Letting you control me is not an option that I can take," Listenia declared, and I nodded.

"Good, now let's get going," I said and started to turn.

"Wait! Why are you being so difficult with this?!" Listenia asked me, coming over to grab my hand, but I pulled away.

"Don't try to beg me or offer yourself. None of that matters to me. This isn't about me being difficult, but the fact that I am explaining this now is clear why I need you to be linked to me before I can teach you anything. Honestly, you are a magic user and an Elf, but you can't seem to understand something that sound has been taught to you by your mother," I growled, and Listenia narrowed her eyes even further at me, taking her crossed arms and putting her fists into her hips.

"This must be good if I don't know it!" Listenia said, using a sarcastic voice that made me want to backhand her.

Why must these women be so insolent? I am literally trying to explain a basic principle, but it looks like the over-the-knee treatment wasn't working.

I would need to figure out a different way of dealing with this in the future. For now, I would slap her with facts and elementary knowledge until she shut up.

"Magic is dangerous. This little fact is something that every teacher should have taught every student who even dabbles in the arcane. The fact that I can create my own Magic, spell and do things that you have never seen should be a hint to why I won't tell you. Honestly, If you shut your mouth for two minutes and actually listened and thought about what you said, you would already know!" I snapped, not helping things.

"I know that magic is dangerous!"

"Then why do you think I would teach you ways to be more dangerous? You are one of the most deadly people in this world, so what would you do if you become stronger? Challenge your mother? Fight another Goddess? Take an entire island?" I asked. Then explained, "Because I could literally force everyone in Northwall to serve me. The worst part about it? You wouldn't even know that it happened; I would just be your King or Queen, I guess."

"Why would that woman give you so much power?!" Listenia asked, but I shook my head.

"Magic isn't a power given, but my strong body was. Since my Mana, it's tiny, but,' I said, extending my hand into the air.

I gathered a stupid amount of Pure Magic, turned it to fire, then just released it, not even formed into a spell. The fire that blasted from my hand could have melted steel and must have stretched thirty feet into the air, but this was the result of Wild Magic, unformed Magic.

"That is impossible, but you did it, and your Mana never changed. How is that even possible?!" Listenia asked, and I turned and started to jog away from her. "Hey! Wait! Answer me you brute!"

"Must feel good to call someone else that!" I called over my shoulder, and I could hear her growl, but soon she was jogging beside me.

"You are the most difficult person that I have ever met!" Listenia complained.

"Well, considering I am the first man that you have ever met, it makes sense. I'm not difficult; you are just not thinking about the consequences. You say you're trustworthy, but someone finds out that you can use Magic in a new and revolutionary way. They ask you, and you refuse. What happens next?" I asked as we jogged.

The forest was still a good mile away, so I didn't mind trying to explain things. Not like the woman was going to leave me alone until I explained myself in a way that she could understand.

"Nothing, because I am one of the strongest, and no one would dare do anything to me!" Listenia declared, and I sighed, slowing to a stop, creating a basic sleep spell with nothing changed.

Listenia stopped and turned to me, but I waved my hand in front of her face.

"What are… You…-"

Listenia passed out, slumped forward, and hit the ground with a thump. Out of all the magic spells created, I hated this one the most because there was no real defense for it other than fully understanding the spell.

I walked over, used a basic rope spell, and then bound her so she wouldn't be able to use her strength to break free. The problem with it was that it would not be comfortable for her when I woke her up, but the people that would do this would not care.

Once Listenia was bound, I broke the spell, and she woke up, not looking happy.

"What did you do to me?! What kind of strange spell did you create to do this, and why can't I get free?!" Listenia barked at me, and I took a seat beside her.

"I used a sleep spell and a rope spell. Both are easy spells to cast, but the sleep spell is incredibly hard to counter. Even if I had used a chant, you would have fallen asleep before you could do anything. This spell is very low ranked and something anyone can do, really. Normally, it is not considered that dangerous because if I inflict pain or move you roughly, you will wake up. You falling to the ground is not enough, but normally you would have someone that could do a number of things to wake you up, but you have no one here," I explained, and Listenia blinked up at me but then tried to get out, but with no success.

"Are you saying that anyone could do this to me?" Listenia asked slowly, and I nodded.

"A child with knowledge of basic Magic could do this, but maybe not for the rope spell. Still," I said and then snapped my fingers, making the rope disappear.

Listenia flopped back to the ground from the veritable U-shape I had tied her in, then she sat up and sat beside me quietly.
