Chapter 165: Estelle Hadassa El Rath (7)
Translator: RainTL
Estelle Hadassa El Rath (7)
The war against the Tower of Mages ended with a very one-sided victory.
The Curse of Macha that fell on the entire archipelago with the budding seeds rendered all the male mages useless, and the large group of Hresvelgrs dropping off elite squads behind the enemy ranks allowed for a swift victory amid all the chaos.
Finally, we also managed to capture all the mages that were trying to escape and defeated Adelene the Great Mage of Gold, and Dun Scaith, one of the Kings subjects.
You have defeated two of the archnemesis of the world.
Dun Scaith, Great Mage Adelene
Difficulty: A++
Reward: Even distribution of 160 points
-Aura Rank Increase {Low} -> {Very High}
-Mana Rank Increase {High} -> {Very High}
-You have obtained Ether Comprehension
-You have obtained Battlefront Flag Bearer
Huu
The rewards for defeating Dun Scaith and Adelene were very sweet.
Ether Comprehension
-You gain an instinctive understanding of magic structures
Battlefront Flag Bearer
-You are the symbol of the battlefield. You are the brightest flag bearer of every war and a central figure that must not fall.
-You will be at the center of attention during a war. Your stats will change depending on your allys faith.
-All your allies will become psychologically anxious if you fall.
Both of them were passive skills that I had seen in the game. Ether Comprehension was a great skill for every mage and Mr. Park had it in the last iteration as well.
It makes it easier to cast without a chant.
That was the gist of the skill according to him but would I have any use for it?
Well, it would probably come in handy one day.
Next on the list was Battlefront Flag Bearer which adjusted the players stats depending on their reputation.
The allied soldiers would have higher faith if the player had a higher reputation level, which would result in higher stats, but the soldiers would fall easily if the player were to fall during a battle.
It might sound like a double-edged sword, but in truth, because wars heavily depended on the player and the war would end in a loss if the player fell anyway, there was practically no risk to it.
I guess Im slowly starting to become a monster as well.
As a reward for defeating Dun Scaith and Adelene, my Aura and Mana Ranks had gone up to Very High. Above this was going to be in the realm of Unique, which referred to the superhumans that far exceeded any ol regular human.
The bare minimum of all the scenario boss characters was that they had to be at Unique Rank for something.
Hua Ran with her Unique Aura Rank was an example, and so was Marie with her Unique Mana Rank.
The All-powerful King of Beauty, Eochaid Bres had Unique Rank for both Aura and Mana, and the same went for Tates Valtazar. On top of that, Tates was a monster himself who had the buff from Precepts so the minimum threshold I had to reach was Unique Rank at both Aura and Mana just like him.
Being at the Unique Rank for both Aura and Mana was at a level that far exceeded the realm of humans, and there had only been three such monsters to my knowledge.
Final Boss, Tates Valtazar.
King of Beauty, Eochaid Bres.
Park Sihu.
Radiant Light, Sun, and a Transcendent.
Each and every one of them was a true monster that had reached those unprecedented realms. And I was about to set foot into a glimpse of that future In fact, I could even say that I was partially in it already.
Well, higher stats arent going to be enough though.
Right before the final war, Park Sihu should have definitely had higher stats than Tates Valtazar. Tates, with his Precepts undermined, would have most definitely been at a disadvantage compared to the player.
Despite that, Tates came out on top whereas Park Sihu lost the war.
That contrasting result was evidently not in correspondence with their difference in stats.
Korin! I finished sorting everything out!
I was putting my thoughts together when Marie walked into my tent.
How did it go?
Un! We managed to bring all the captured mages over to our jurisdiction! Officially, they will be under my care though. Is that okay?
Of course it is. How many were there again?
457! Quite a few of them died, but we still have 2 elders and 6 professors.
Thats pretty good.
The attack on the Tower of Mages this time around had been approved by the Kingdom for unlimited plunder. I stole all the herbs and elixirs that were being treasured by the Tower of Mages, and on the other side of the spectrum were human resources.
Actually, in the last iteration, we even hired some workers to take all the items we could from the Tower of Mages but material possession? We had no need for that with Marie on our side.
Giving up on chasing after artifacts and items, we focused on acquiring human resources during the war by collecting all the neutralized male mages of the Tower who were under the effect of the Curse of Macha.
Hehehe. 457 mage slaves huh? What a prize.
Boiling stews for all of them is going to take too much time, so I think Ill just give them blood.
That makes sense.
The reason we even bothered to boil a stew with her blood when transforming them into ghouls in the first place was to give them pain during the process, so there was no need to do that for 457 of them.
But 457, huh? I was thinking how taxing it would be to produce all that blood, but that was when Marie said with flushed cheeks while twisting her body from embarrassment.
So, Korin for the next few days, I think I need your help in producing fresh blood.
Ah, right.
Supplying that much blood for the mages was going to be extremely challenging for Marie, so that was definitely something I had to help with.
As quickly as possible would be nice
-Gulp!
Although we had been doing it quite regularly, now that my relationship with Marie was starting to progress a little bit, this bloodsucking action felt slightly different.
When sucking blood Marie tended to press down hard with her chest, to the point that I could hear the sound of her heartbeat. That wasnt the end there was also the sheer amount of physical contact, and how she licked the wound after sucking on it hard.
Uhh I do have some time now.
S, shall we get started then?
Looking back, Marie was never reserved when it came to sucking blood. Right when her sharp fangs were about to dig into my neck
Werent you speaking casually the whole time?
Calling me Saintess is too cold, isnt it? You can call me Noona from now on. Come on. Say it. Noona~. Come on, Korin-dongsaeng.
No. I will be arrested for lese majesty.1ED Note: French for an offense violating the dignity of a ruler who represents a sovereign power.
Its fine. You cant bring social status into the Academy. Thats the rule, right?
She suddenly sat right next to me with a cheeky smile on her face. What the heck was wrong with her all of a sudden?
By the way, you wanted a kiss after saving me, right?
Uhh N, not in that kind of way. It was just something I blurted out because getting a kiss from a real princess is like a dream
Ill give you a deep one so prepare yourself.
What was with this sudden aggressiveness? She was gazing up into my eyes with a provocative smile on her face, and I just couldnt look straight into her eyes.
At this rate I was going to fall into that mischievous pace!
Excuse me? Can you look at me when Im talking?
Like, you see. Umm What I meant was like how you would say, Knight Korin. I bestow upon you knighthood, tap the sword on my shoulders and make me kiss your ring Something like that, okay? I dont need one on my lips, and maybe my cheeks if anything
Ehem!
A soft finger blocked my mouth. After efficiently shutting my mouth, she brought her face closer to mine.
Its your reward for saving me, Dongsaeng.
-Gulp!
When I returned a nod, she slowly got on my lap.
-Haa
Her cheeks were flushed in deep red, and a warm breath reached my face along with her scent.
It was sweet.
Unlike Princess Mirus decadently sticky yet sweet fragrance, Estelle was sweet like a peach. If Miru was like honey that stuck on your body, Estelle was like a soft peach that would easily allow a bite.
Khmm!
I gave an empty cough, which slightly rolled up her sacred outfit that was touching my thighs. It barely even went up by 1 centimeter, but even that small exposure was nauseatingly erotic.
Slowly, her lips came closer with their bright ambiance. Her body scent that I didnt have the time to take in back at the Steel Archipelago, despite our proximity due to being preoccupied with survival, was astonishingly provocative.
As if she was embarrassed after a long-held eye contact, she turned her grass-colored eyes away with a deep blush.
Close your eyes.
Saying that, the Saintess also closed her own. When I closed my eyes to respond to her wish, I started to vividly feel our breath coming closer, and our lips came together before long.
Her lips felt very soft. Unlike my rough and blistered lips, Estelles were soft and fluffy.
Our lips were starting to turn moist. Our lips separated for a bit, which was soon followed by something digging into my lips. It went past my teeth, mixed and intertwined with my tongue. Touching the roof of my mouth was something hard and wait, hard?
Huh?
Hehe.
When I opened my eyes again, I found Estelle gazing down at me with a smile on her face. Her moist lips were already far away from my own, which meant that the thing inside my mouth was
Estelle pulled her finger out and mischievously poked my nose with her thin, wet finger.
Damn it.
You naughty boy. Youre also a man, arent you?
Were you thinking about something else? You were, right? Your face is so red! Do you want a mirror?
Come on! Saintess, you
I told you to call me Noona.
How can I do that when there are rules in place?
In the order, Im the law and the rule. From today onwards, Korin-dongsaeng is to call me Estelle-noona! Bang! Bang! Bang!
This is an abuse of power
Regardless of my comment, she squinted her eyes and closed the distance again. Leaning closely into my ears with her peach-colored lips which had been on mine just a while ago she ticked my ears with a whisper.
Did you know? Unlike the Old Faith we allow marriage for priests and sisters.
With a rather devilish smile that didnt suit her name as the Saintess, Estelle licked her lips.
Lets continue with the rest after were even closer, okay? Korin-dongsaeng.
Please stop teasing.
Be careful with your words, Noona.
***
Estelle could still vividly feel the lips that had been on hers, as she reflected on the memory from a few days ago. She was back at the order after dealing with the kidnapping incident.
Fufu
A warm red flush appeared on her cheeks since it was her first time.
He was cute.
At times, she looked back and thought to herself that maybe she could have given a bigger reward. However, the reason she couldnt do so back then was because her heart had been beating so fast that it almost exploded.
That was after spending several days in the Steel Archipelago with her body right next to his. It was her first time being in physical contact with a male for that long, so she ended up being way too conscious of him.
That should have been enough of a reward.
Of course. Who is she? Shes the 1st Princess of the Kingdom and the one and only Saintess of the order, right?
But of course, he had the right to receive a reward that big. Even apart from the oh-so-precious first kiss of the Saintess, he was going to be receiving a reward from both the Kingdom and the order.
I guess I can see him again at the capital.
She planned to return to the capital city before the end of the summer holidays, so she decided to see him again then.
Saintess. Its time to see His Holiness the Pope.
Alright.
Before that, she had to deal with the rats within the order first.
