Chapter 241: Baobab Tree (Complete)

Chapter 241: Baobab Tree (Complete)

Baobab’s fist approached, and I dodged, extending my fingers.

-Pit!

A swift strike pierced through the blood vessels before I pulled my hand back immediately.

Shoulder and nape. When that failed, I aimed for her right chest.

-Mulkeong!

I avoided attacks without landing any effective blows. As I repeated this, Baobab spoke to me.

“You.”

Her face was veined with anger.

“What are you doing right now?”

“Trying to make you climax.”

“What do you mean?”

“Exactly. What am I doing right now?”

If I seriously fought, there would be ways, but it was better to leave some tricks up my sleeve. Sometimes, holding back was much harder.

Luckily, I got used to using sex techniques.

When I channeled magic into my two fingers again, I noticed the aura was even more pink than before.

‘I feel like I’m getting closer to completion. Is my potential progressing even here?’

I remembered something from the past.

While fighting against Cheonma, I had sneakily asked out of curiosity.

-How much potential did the person who first created these martial arts have?

The old man had laughed at my question.

-Potential has nothing to do with it. If you want to create something, you can do it right now. You’re overthinking it.

-Really?

-Yes, if even a clumsy fool like you wants to create, what can’t you make? With your potential, you might create something quite decent.

Jiiiiing!

I looked at the form of magic gathered in my two fingers. I learned from Hwangdo, used it on Byeol, and up to today. I could tell I was using it more conveniently and efficiently.

-Bang!

I flew away as if struck by Baobab’s attack.

I adjusted my body, rotating mid-air to land properly, though my wrist felt quite sore.

Again, twice. I pierced above the collarbone and the ear.

‘...I think I’m starting to see it.’

After several attempts of infusing magic, I began to see her magical blood vessels.

It’s surprising how different it was for each person.

Baobab had an unusually large and wide network of magic blood vessels.

As I focused on that area, I seemed to see the spots I needed to pierce.

Though not clearly visible, it appeared and disappeared like an illusion—a blue thread.

It looked like a path connected by mist.

‘Huh?’

I rubbed my eyes and looked again.

The opponent’s lower abdomen. About two fingers below the navel, a blue thread was pulled tight.

“What are you doing with that dazed face!”

-Tadadak!

Baobab charged at me with a loud shout.

I gathered magic into my two fingers and held my breath.

A series of continuous strikes hit my body.

Expecting to take hits, I extended my hand.

-Thunk!

My head spun.

The first joint of my finger poked her lower abdomen.

At the same time, I felt my body flying away.

This wouldn’t do. Somehow, I instinctively knew.

I stabilized my body as I flew back. I landed on the ground and jumped toward Baobab.

This time, it was not with fingers but a fist. As I channeled magic throughout my body except for my fist, my vision narrowed from the speed.

The blood vessels carrying magic turned bright red.

As blood accelerated through my veins, my head spun.

I swiftly closed in on Baobab with a powerful strike.

It wasn’t Baekdo or any other technique.

It was just a fist, but the magic imbued was something I crafted differently.

It could be called magic or martial arts.

‘I’m not sure if this should be called a combat skill....’

For the Tree Spirit King who gained strength by ravishing the Tree Spirits, this might be the best ability.

Knowing this, my body might be elevating this ability’s potential.

【Potential is manifesting. The skill [Sex Technique (B)] is engraved in your skill slot. 】

‘Damn.’

This realization after so long.

With a distorted smile, my fist touched Baobab’s lower abdomen.

“Where...”

It sunk in heavily.

“...Ugh, oof!?”

At that moment, Baobab’s eyes widened as her body froze.

In a state of combat-induced excitement, it was hard to increase arousal with sex techniques.

Moreover, I wasn’t skilled enough to master this yet. It was only my third time using it.

However, against Baobab’s power, sex techniques were a perfect match.

“What are you doing—”

Instantly, Baobab’s body weakened and shrank. I kicked her down.

Baekyang did many things for me but also gave me many traumas.

‘Except for this, there’s no other way for me to grow right now.’

If the opponent were Flower or World Tree, I would have done it without any guilt. No, even if there was guilt, I wouldn’t have agonized over it like this.

My mouth felt dry.

-Slap!

I slapped my cheek to clear my thoughts.

The future was uncertain. And I had too many enemies, so I might be clinging to things like this.

‘Cheondo.’

If it were her, what advice would she give?

My master firmly believed that I was a good person.

In truth, I was far from it.

If Cheondo were to advise me, she would surely tell me not to abandon my morals in such a place.

One deviation was a mistake, but continuing it became a habit.

I knew that too.

I stopped thinking.

“Damn it, let’s quit.”

The more I agonized, the more my mind tried to justify it.

Before I became a host to lust, let’s escape.

Yes, damn it. Rather than committing a crime, it was better to seduce a few women openly.

Ignoring the seductive scent that brushed my nose, I got up from my seat.

-Flicker.

“Haa... Ugh.”

At that moment, Baobab got up from her spot.

She stared blankly at me.

“I’m leaving. Don’t follow me.”

As I left a word and tried to leave, Baobab jumped up.

She looked at me. Her eyes were strangely unfocused.

“......”

She said nothing.

Then suddenly, she muttered while looking at me.

“...What did you do to me?”

“What?”

Grab.

My vision tilted backward.

For a moment, I thought she was ready to fight again without feeling tired.

Two rough hands grabbed my shoulders, and she bent her head as if looking down at me from above.

Two large breasts pressed and squashed against my chest.

“...This is driving me crazy.”

Baobab’s single muttered word. Her eyes, sharp like a lioness, focused on me.

That was all.

A faint but alluring fragrance.

When used, it emits a scent that feels attractive to Tree People and World Trees for a short time.

-[King's Aura]: Contains the power of a king. Can grow depending on how it’s used.

When I came out of the dungeon, Lee Hyang, Taeyang, and Aori were standing outside the gate.

As I stepped out, Taeyang approached me and asked,

“You’re here.”

“Yeah.”

I handed two backpacks to Lee Hyang and Aori. They accepted my luggage without a word. We were silent for a long time.

Aori stared at me with sparkling eyes. She seemed to know everything that had happened.

Taeyang, unable to hold back, asked,

“So... hyung. Why do you look like a guy who was overpowered by a woman because he couldn’t control his lust?”

“Well, that’s how it turned out. It’s my fault though.”

Sex Technique.

For someone, it might be an excellent match.

But on the contrary, it could bring disastrous results.

That’s how I decided to define my ability.

“How did it feel?”

I patted Taeyang’s shoulder silently.

“Don’t even approach Baobab trees. Or rather, African Tree People.”

They were beyond the World Tree of Healing.
