Chapter 68 68: Sowing The Seeds [Pt3]

Keith was 'politely' thrown out of this dream the second he denied Raff's request. His eyes snapped open as Keith heaved a heavy breath.

He looked around, only to find himself in a small cave with Bell looking at him with worried eyes. Bell's eyes widened as soon as she noticed that Keith was awake.

"Y-You woke up! Hurry and come with me. T-The plant thing took Arcana so we need to go and save her right now."

Bell sounded frantic right now, her face a picture of worry. She genuinely looked scared for what would happen to Arcana now that the plant had captured her friend.

"Calm down Bell. I am sure Arcana is alright and she is not captured by the plant thing. She's just…doing the plant creature a favor for the time being so you do not need to worry about her."

Keith tried to play down the situation, knowing fully well that there was too much to worry about.

Arcana was not in her right mind but Keith doubted that there was any way to help her now. Arcana looked to be addicted and Raff did not seem like someone who would let their toy go without a fight.

"B-But still. We should at least look at her, right? I won't feel right if I don't look for her."

Bell requested with a heavy voice. Her eyes were beginning to fill with annoying tears and Keith decided to let her see Arcana for one last time just to shut her up.

"Fine. let us go and have a look at Arcana. But I am warning you, it will not be a pretty picture. I tried to warn you so do not blame me for this,"

Bell was startled by the warning, her confidence suddenly wavering. But she was still determined to save her friend. She jumped up and started flying.

Their small cave turned out not to be too far away from Raff's resting place. But it was now covered with small veins that blocked the traveler's way. Keith continued to walk until he touched one of the veins.

"Raff, I am here to take a look at Arcana. Can you let me have one final look at her?"

Keith's question had no answer but the veins did part to show a big-bellied, fucked out Arcana.

Arcana's body was stretched, her pussy had a vein in the shape of a cock-plug keeping her full and her belly was dented out with the seeds she was carrying. A pair of human hands played with Arcana's heavy breasts, drinking the milk she was spilling out.

"What do you want from my incubator? I told you I will not give her back. Now hurry up and get going."

Raff sounded busy dealing with Arcana right now. She did not even look up at Keith as she forced Arcana to service her pussy with her mouth.

Bell's jaw had dropped at what she saw and she suddenly looked embarrassed. Keith knew that Bell would never be able to hear Arcana's name without thinking of this moment again.

"Bell, is your curiosity satisfied? If it is, then it's time to go back and treat my companion."

Keith called out to the fairy who could only look at the scene in front of her with curiosity and mute horror. Keith had a feeling that Bell would come back here once everything was over for her.

"I-huh? Oh yeah, I am coming. I-I just did not expect to see that."

Bell tried to make excuses as she followed Keith but her mind was still stuck in the past. Keith did not care much for what Bell did if she took care of Shinu.

Soon, they both came back to the small village where Shinu lay unconscious. Bell immediately darted to check on him, taking his vitals and other things.

She sighed in relief as soon as she noticed that Shinu was alright.

"Looks like he's going to be alright now that we have the medicine. Let me go and prepare it as soon as possible."

Keith took a seat as Bell did her things. The small fairy was easily able to make a jar full of liquid and brought it over to Keith.

"Rub it on his forehead and then feed this to him when he wakes up. I will be taking a stroll around for the time being."

Keith had a feeling that Bell's 'stroll' was not that and he would never see her again if she went away now.

So, before Bell could leave the house, Keith hurriedly caught her in his grasp and held her there.

"You are not going anywhere until Shinu wakes up and is cleared of his pheromones poisoning."

Bell pouted and tried to bite Keith in return. But her *sharp* teeth did not even make a dent in Keith's thick skin. He easily ignored Bell and walked toward Shinu.

After tying Bell up for the time being, Keith rubbed the ointment on Shinu's forehead and the half-dragon moaned in pain.

Since his mouth was finally open, Keith helped him drink the liquid. He had to stimulate Shinu's throat to make him swallow.

Shinu coughed as he took more and more of that bitter liquid in., he seemed to be forcing himself to drink more of that bitter drink.

"You are doing good. Just a few more sips are all you need."

Keith encouraged Shinu until the kid drank all of it and his complexion got better. It seemed like Shinu would wake up soon.

"Hey, I helped you out and this is how you repay me? Let me go right now before I get mad at you."

Bell yelled as soon as she noticed that Shinu had swallowed his medicine. She did not find it fair that she had to be held captive all this time.

Keith looked at Bell with his calm but unnerving eyes. Suddenly, she felt like cornered prey and hoped she had never opened her mouth. Bell was about to make more excuses when the ropes binding her were cut open.

"You are free to go now. Oh, and if anyone ever asks for me, tell them you know nothing and I was never here."

Keith ordered the fairy who looked annoyed and confused.

"You want me to pretend like I don't know you? Well, sure. I don't like you anyway so forgetting you won't be difficult."

Bell ensured Keith before she darted off. Keith was sure that she was going back to Raff's clearing to sate her curiosity. And that curiosity would be the end of Bell.

Meanwhile, Shinu coughed as his body calmed down a little. He was beginning to look better as well by now.

"You should take it easy. Your body went through an ordeal back there."

Keith rubbed Shinu's back, now noticing the additional features he had. There were scales on Shinu's face and his bone structure felt different as well.

Shinu groaned in pain, his body aching as it changed to accommodate his more draconic features in the mix. He looked like he was not in a good place right now.

"H-Hurts. It feels like someone is stabbing me constantly. I need my mother."

Shinu complained like the child he was and Keith understood what he was going through. Keith missed his mother's comforting touch even when he was an adult so Shinu's longing for his mother was evident.

Even when Shinu was part of the hero's party, he constantly missed his mother. But every party had a 'mother' figure for him to grow close to.

Keith currently had no one like this but he had a bigger advantage. Shinu's mother was coming to the guild instead of dying this time around.

"Don't worry kid. You will meet your mother soon. For now, just rest and forget about anything dangerous or harmful."

Shinu decided to trust Keith and go to sleep. His body was in too much pain to do anything else.

He looked and felt better when he woke up later and looked around. Keith seemed to have taken good care of Shinu and Shinu was touched.

The grandmaster was a nice man worthy of his devotion. He had spent a whole day nursing Shinu without any personal benefit. It made Shinu feel closer to the grandmaster.

The grandmaster woke up as soon as Shinu tried touching him which scared Shinu and made him retreat with a jolt.

"Ah, you are awake? Are you good enough to travel now?"

Keith asked the question as soon as he woke up and Shinu nodded in agreement. He was ready to travel outside of this domain. He wanted to go back to a home that accepted him.

"Good. Then we will leave after we have breakfast. I have noted this place and I will send someone to clean it up after we leave it."

Shinzou would be here soon and he would take care of this dungeon. As for what happens next, Keith did not have an idea but he believed it would be ok.
