Chapter 154: Chapter 31: High Tension

The moment I returned to myself, Alan and the surrounding men looked strange; normally, they should have been overjoyed that the dungeon gate was closed.

Instead, they look at him as some kind of criminal...

"Why do you all look so glum? That disgusting monster you were all feeding to keep yourself safe is dead." My words were harsh, and Alan scowled hatefully.

"You! Why did you close the dungeon!? You know Britannica relies on the income from ability users hunting!" Alan roared hatefully; however, Midori just stepped forward and slapped him across the face, her katana touching his crotch for an instant before a dull pop sounded; before anyone realised what had happened, his body flew across the sky and smashed into one of the destroyed homes.

"Ah... forgive me, my hand slipped. I thought he was a monster."

It was true that many countries had this idea... the dungeons that appeared were lucrative, some having minerals and ore so easily extractable that they would cause heavy damage to the world's ozone layer if they were to be collected outside the dungeon.

However, Alan was different; he relied on dungeon money to buy influence to allow him and his knights to effectively run the kingdom, ignoring the government due to their strength.

Alan soon crawled out of the rubble... glaring at Midori hatefully, he ordered everyone, "Kill them all! That dungeon was worth millions of pounds in gold, ore and mineral deposits! Who cares about Austrina and their demands? Kill those two sluts as well; they are just princesses of a forgotten age!"

The ability users that came with the two girls looked away with guilty looks, but their true orders were just that: get rid of the old family to allow their kingdom to undergo a revolution, throwing away the old-fashioned monarchy.

He looked towards his knights, filled with rage from the pain in his crotch and charged forward... Midori didn't move, nor did Milova or Anya...

I stepped forward; the moment they came closer, my muscles surged with energy, and I punched the first ability user before Alan and the others could show regret, their confident smiles due to the guy's skin transforming into stone, likely a defensive type ability user...

My punch shattered the guy's face...

Only able to watch in silence... Alan saw his comrade's head explode like a watermelon from my punch... Midori sighed and drew her blade, "Men, I suggest you stand down; otherwise, you will die. Alan, there is no need to take this further; if you lose more ability users, your entire kingdom will be at stake, but ours, even if I and I don't exist, there are more than twenty others to protect it."

Alan trembled... watching Midori threaten him, his face turning pale...

He knew he couldn't win; if they fought and he lost many more of his knights, there would be difficulty managing the dungeons, and like before, if suddenly one of the monsters they were feeding evolved into something like that turtle, he would be fucked.

In reality, I was very nervous... Although I could take swords and cold weapons, there had never been an orc who used a shotgun, so there was no idea how much damage those weapons might or might not do to my body.

"Thank you, Rai..." Midori's voice was neither overly passionate with joy nor filled with blame. It was like she wanted to be, but there were hidden worries in her heart.

I believe that she feared the outcome of when we left that the knights might have a negative opinion towards us. Yet, she underestimated my simple actions of removing Alan, who was hindering their development...

"Hmmn, thank you? What for? For sex? For killing monsters? For following you halfway across the world to fight a turtle? Or crushing a stalker that planned to seal you somewhere dark, never able to leave or escape so he and his goons could 'birth more ability users' using your high-class body?"

Somehow, although I didn't want to, there was a feeling of bitterness in my mood. I believed Midori was strong enough to deal with Alan and his goons, but if she failed, that thought made me feel angry, unable to control the yoma now with a blood-red tint flowing through my veins...

Midori noticed my strange look; in the mirror, I could see they were bloodshot and glowing golden instead of my usual colour, but she was driving and could only step on the accelerator, so we reached the airport sooner.

Finally, Midori parked the jeep and grabbed my hand; her warm body heat calmed me down, bringing my mind back to sanity. "Rai!" Her eyes were filled with worry, while both my hearts were filled with vengeance and anger, wanting this entire kingdom to burn... all because of a possible worry in the future.

Midori hugged me tightly... kissing my forehead and then my lips deeply; the feeling of her soft body, the taste of her lips and affection slowly brought me back to normal, my eyes returning to normal as my heartbeat slowed, the taste of her lips and smell of her body causing me to feel a sense of clarity.

She saw my recovery, it seemed, and smiled gently at me, leaning to my ear and whispering, "Thank you for being there to protect me, even from the tiniest issues... Thank you for caring about me... I'm sorry I worried you."

My emotions calmed down... realising I was a little stupid, I grinned playfully, "Hmmn, Midori, next time, we go on holiday, choose a private beach where I can fuck you all day, not some rainy, miserable place filled with men, that just want to cause trouble."

As she approached to kiss me again, there was the sound of two throats clearing and Anya and Milova looked at us with a wry smile, "Well... can we get in on that holiday too? It seems we didn't get the chance this time?" Milova teased Midori, who rolled her eyes...

"Fine... fine... but behave yourselves; I get jealous and protective."

Anya and Milova giggled playfully, exiting the car and skipping towards the private jet. I looked confused at Midori, "You understand Austrinia? What did they say?"

Suddenly, she hopped out of the car with a strange smile. It was much more natural and smooth, her lips curling with her eyes drooping and forming crescent moons before she skipped to my side and muttered through the window.

"They asked if they could fuck you next time, hahaha!"

I was stunned for a moment, almost unable to speak, watching her as she rushed off... my hand opened the door with a loud click as I chased the trio, unaware that I had taken another significant step towards the unknown.

Meanwhile, I enjoyed the company of these two women. I had no idea yet that an unknown and powerful enemy attacked the planet of Flora...

Nor that they had already fled to this world with the help of Eternia and Aki.
