Chapter 302 Long Apart

Chapter 302 Long Apart

Through his mind-reading ability, Tyler soon discovered that Viviana desperately needed to replenish her magic.

However, he had to feign ignorance, lest he reveal his ability to read minds.

Nevertheless, when Viviana took the initiative to kiss him, Tyler seized the opportunity to take control.

If he couldn't discern Viviana's intentions at this point, he would be even more obtuse than the "clueless protagonists in romance manga".

To accommodate Viviana, Tyler gently embraced her waist, shifted his footing, and leaned her against a nearby rock wall.

He then slightly bent down, allowing Viviana, who was on her tiptoes, to relax.

Despite two months having passed, Viviana's kissing skills remained as inexperienced as before, leaving her flustered once their lips met.

Tyler tenderly licked Viviana's lips, helping her further relax, and then, seizing a moment of laxity, he silently unlocked the young girl's "barrier," allowing their moist, soft entities to intertwine.

Under Tyler's advances, Viviana's breathing grew rapid. Her warm breath, carrying a pleasant fragrance, brushed against Tyler's face, and her body gradually softened.

Sensing that Viviana could no longer stand, Tyler momentarily separated from her, allowing her to catch her breath.

Seizing this opportunity, Tyler gave a knowing glance to Moto-chan, which silently turned its head to guard the entrance, ensuring they would be aware if any goblins attacked.

Afterward, Tyler gazed at Viviana, whose cheeks were flushed and eyes were hazy.

Her crimson pupils now held only a longing for Tyler's magic.

Tyler had no reason to refuse this angelic young girl, and it was the perfect time to use the "Goblin's Secret Treasury."

Thus, he wrapped one arm around Viviana's shoulder, gently lowered her to the ground, and then knelt down to continue their passionate lip-lock.

In the secluded ravine, the youth and girl's temples brushed against each other, their bodies caressing in the intimate space.

The continuous flow of warm magic into her body gave Viviana a long-lost sense of security.

She constantly sought more from Banning, feeling as if her body would melt from the heat, yearning to become one with him.

However, as her magic recovered, Viviana's rationality gradually returned.

She recalled that during their last encounter, Banning's magic was pitifully scarce. Even after two months of growth, his magic would be but a grain of sand in the Ganges compared to hers.

Therefore, Viviana had to stop quickly. Otherwise, if Banning fainted from magic depletion, it would be difficult for her to move with an unconscious person.

"Ban... Banning..."

In the brief moments between kisses, Viviana tried to tell Banning to stop, but he seemed to have no concerns about magic depletion and became even more entwined with her.

Viviana felt as if Banning was a teacher, guiding her on how to draw magic from him. This gentle, nurturing sensation caused her to forget her initial worries, and she instinctively reciprocated his kisses.

By the time Viviana realized something was amiss, she was already weak and powerless from their passionate exchange. Only her instincts as a magic swordsman told her that her magic was nearly fully restored.

—(H-how could this be possible?!)

Viviana could hardly believe her senses, but her perception of her magic had never been wrong before.

But how could Banning have helped her restore so much magic?

When Viviana last checked, her maximum magic capacity was over 5,000!

How could an ordinary hunter, in just two months, cultivate enough magic to reach that level?

Such a claim would be unbelievable even to the most knowledgeable elders in her family.

Yet, the undeniable truth lay before Viviana.

She had indeed absorbed over 5,000 magic energy from Banning through their unique method, and he seemed to have plenty of magic to spare, showing no signs of imminent depletion.

—(Why? Why is there so much?)

—(Who exactly are you...Banning?)

Viviana's thoughts grew hazy as Banning's magic continued to pour into her. If this continued, she would...

"Ban... Banning... Please... Please stop... I... I'm... I'm about to overflow..."

Viviana's hands were weak and powerless, unable to push Banning away.

Fortunately, Banning heard her words and promptly separated from her.

In the dim ravine, Viviana lay on her back, her breathing still rapid and her face flushed.

Banning sat beside her, looking down at her with a guilty expression.

"I'm sorry... I didn't know you..."

"It's not your fault; it's mine."

Viviana interrupted him before he could finish.

At this moment, Viviana felt both embarrassed and frustrated.

This was the second time she had felt this way within five minutes of seeing Banning.

She couldn't believe that she, a hidden genius within the Scarlet Steed family, had lost to a newcomer who had only been a bounty hunter for two months.

Was such a thing even possible?

The overwhelming sense of defeat completely overshadowed Viviana's joy at regaining her full magic capacity.

This "good fortune" was utterly humiliating for her.

"Banning, how much magic do you have in total?"

Viviana wanted to admit defeat wholeheartedly and asked the question directly.

"Total magic? Uh, I haven't had a chance to get it appraised yet."

Banning's answer made Viviana feel like she had punched a cotton pillow, but it was a reasonable response, considering that there were only a few cities in the Kingdom of Wester with appraisal capabilities.

So, Viviana changed her approach and asked another question.

"Have you taken the 'Advancement Trial'? How many times?"

"I've taken the Advancement Trial once, about a month and a half ago in Sunny Town."

"What level of difficulty was the trial?"

"It was a white trial... Uh, Viviana, why are you asking me these questions?"

Viviana knew she was being too direct, but she wanted to clear up the mystery surrounding Banning's magic energy.

However, at that moment, Banning's black warhorse neighed and stomped its hooves anxiously. It seemed that the goblins were closing in.

**I had some rest yesterday got sick >< so sorry for a day without any chaps. Can't believe I've made it to 300 chapters, this 4 months seem like a long long long journey to me!
