Chapter 45 [Bonus ] 45: Manticore's First Level Up! [2]



Raven followed her quickly; as her body used the broken stone pillars, she suddenly became like a real predator; his eyes widened as she lept from the stone posts without sound, like a beast stalking her prey.

'So that's how a real manticore moves... I feel like a complete fake, haha.'

Lilith's tail swayed like a deadly beast watching its prey.

His body began shimmering with a black mist, his eyes glowing a dark blue as he darted forward; two of the four goblin warriors were walking past Lilith's pillar, her body masked by the darkness above the vague torchlight. 

'They've noticed her!'

The moment her tail pierced through the air, its thick spike punctured through the ear of the closest goblin warrior, lifting his powerless body into the air as thick black blood oozed from its burst ears before the disgusting sucking sounded, the body became a husk in seconds, as two goblin archers pulled their arrows, aiming at the distracted Lilith now enamoured with the thrill of the kill.

Raven's body shot forward, his feet like small boulders as they smashed down, the sound causing all goblins to turn his way, even the archers. As his mouth opened with a bloodcurdling shout, he activated [Dread Aura]

"Lilith, watch your fucking back!"

The goblins were slowed dramatically.

The two arrows now floated through the air, and Lilith's body reacted like one of those Poketmon masters ordering their little beasts to kill each other like savages.

Her tail swayed around her head like a lasso, sending the withered goblin corpse flying into the arrows as they pierced their former kin.

Thanks to his shout, her body vanished in a flutter of pink roses, now across the room and atop the broken statue, out of their range as she pushed both hands towards two of the three warriors now charging her.

"Grruruk!!" 

"Rurururu!"

"Grreeelkpa!"

They shouted, their rusty weapons pointing at her as she held out her open palms, a dark pink aura enveloping her body, slowly turning to black as it formed a cyclone with her as the eye.

"Die for me, okay?"

Clench!

Her hands clutched together the moment Raven's body smashed into the archers, their second arrows snapping under his 95Kg of weight; because of his daily training and changes, he grew slightly not only in height but his muscles were more powerful and bulky as he squshed them to the ground, lifting his fists covered in the shadowy aura.

Splatter!

·ƈθm Four shadowy spikes penetrated two goblin warriors; their skulls burst open as watermelons slammed on the ground, grey matter spraying everywhere as their bodies trembled before falling to the ground without power.

Lilith hopped down, and the third goblins spear thrust towards her neck with the goblin's fierce attack; the whistle of rusted copper tearing through the air sounded in her ears as she grabbed onto the tip with her tail, yanking it towards her before smashing the goblins face with a brutal knee, it's nose cracked, crushed into its skull as black blood and bones erupted from the wound.

The howl of goblins from the other room caused her face to fill with a brilliant smile as she hovered her black spike over the goblin, its body pinned down by her slightly hooved feet, her teeth growing sharp as her drool dripped from her mouth.

She felt her lower body tighten each time the sound of Raven's fist smashing the goblins that tried to hurt her echoed in the dark chamber, his fierce blows with a resounding boom as their flesh, skull and organs splattered everywhere.

"Little goblin~ can you hear that? My wonderful and perfect mate is beating your filthy kinsman to death~ fufu, he is so passionate to defend me!" Lilith's eyes glowed a dark purple; she seemed more malevolent and pure at this moment, her ears twitching as Raven scolded the goblins for trying to shoot her.

'Ah... you just know how to make a manticore wet~ stupid orc!'

"Grrrkrkrk!!!"

The cries of the goblin below her, its mouth bubbling with black blood, unable to breathe properly as she crushed its entire face with her knee. Her smile was beautiful and terrifying as she looked at the goblin like a piece of meat, not a living creature.

"See how you enjoy being eaten alive."

Squelch!

Her sharp tail penetrated its damaged nose, the blood squirting as she thrust through the meat before its body began to tremble and desperately try to move and reach out.

Still, her feet would stomp its arms, the powerful hooves crushing its bones into dust, as the manticore enjoyed her meal.

Meanwhile, Raven's body was covered in blood, his face looking like a devil as he no longer resisted his feeling and desire as a manticore.

They tried to hurt his female.

Thus he destroyed them and smashed them into pulp, although if he had a weapon, it might have been much more elegant and refined; he looked at his swelled upper body; the slightly darker brown skin when he entered his manticore form was shimmering as his suit was somewhat torn.

'I need to get a suit that can change shape... Or maybe one of those fantasy-like tunics...'

He stood slowly; after taking the black chest from the pedestal, Raven could swear it was smaller in the past but forgot his own significant changes.

Now standing nearly 7ft tall, his hands easily grasping the chest that would need two people usually, his large hooves denting the crumbling rock and mud, walking towards Lilith, who looked at him with a lustful and blissful look.

"Raven~ I need you!" She uttered with a sultry voice, her body flashing with pink blossoms, before she sat on the black chest, the weight nothing to Raven in this form, as she wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him passionately,

her long tongue sliding between his teeth, tasting him as he kissed back fiercely. His hands were occupied as the black chest pushed against her ass, lifting her body to make the kiss more intense, her breasts pressing firmly against his muscular chest.

The moment their lips touched, her gentle pink aura began to flood inside his body, the slight ache in his brain from using [Shadow Strike] fading. In contrast, her body was filled with his thick purple essence, restoring her almost completely, this time Raven noticed that she had a similar small ball inside her lower body; his eyes closed as he tried to direct his energy inside the small ball, penetrating her muscles and flesh, slowly the purple point made it's way inside her.

He could feel a slight strain on his body, with his muscles slightly spasming, her tongue still wrapped around his as she sucked on him relentlessly, moaning into his mouth; it seemed to get more intense as he pushed his energy deeper, finally reaching that small ball inside her, like a tiny bean, he enveloped it with his aure, slowly piercing what seemed to be a thin veil protecting it.

"Ahhhhn~ what!? What is this!? Mmmmn!"

Lilith's body suddenly broke the kiss, her head snapping back as a sensual moan left her lips, as she began to gasp, a loud wet sound as if water dropped from a bucket sounded as her lower body began to convulse, the black chest now soaked in a strangely sweet and sour smelling liquid, that was sticky and viscous.

Raven's mind was clouded as he watched the fluid pouring from her lower body in giant spurts, as the purple aura he sent into her body was gone without a trace, sucked into the small bean that seemed to have grown slightly, no longer a tiny bean, maybe half a centimetre bigger, it took Lilith around five minutes to recover, her eyes bright pink and glowing with a strange light as she watched him with seductive eyes.

'Was that... the essence of [Dual Cultivation] without the sex... did she climax from my energy entering her core? Erotic... do all monster girls that absorb essence have a lewd core like this?'

He felt her hands gripping him tight as she started to shower him with kisses before leaning back, letting out a long sigh as her eyes slowly returned to their usual colour. She kissed him again with a wet and sticky kiss, rubbing her nose against his.

"Mwah~~~ such a delicious kiss. Thank you, darling!" She joked, her red tongue sliding along his lips, cleaning all the excess drool.

The pair stared into each other's eyes; there was a sense of attachment between them it was filled with lust, passion and affection, but Raven knew he was playing with fire, but this couldn't be helped. 

Raven no longer wanted Lilith to find someone who could help her live a happy life, it had to be him, or he would kill them. It seemed it wasn't just the female manticore that became jealous and obsessive with partners.

Her soft body hopped off the chest, touching the ground with a soft pap! Her feet now have cute brown toes and nails painted red. Lilith twisted her body like a ballerina and placed both hands on either side of the box.

"Can I open it? Darling?"

It also seemed the changes that happened during their transformation and emotional height would remain even after her own actions and temperament becoming more obedient and less cheeky each time they kissed.

"Who is your darling, leaving your slimy drool all over my face."

But he didn't want to rush things, slowly, step by step. He would accept all of the women who wanted to be with him.

"Hmph! I was being nice, damn ero-orc! Eroc!"
