Chapter 170 170 - Waves



The sensation was like a click for Ryan, who turned around at the same instant. The cube was there, standing between two iron pillars that kept it loaded. The discomfort Ryan felt in his chest was a little less than when he saw that cube in the sand, still, this was far from a pleasurable experience.

Another Aether emerged, standing next to the frightened one. Turning to Ryan, he said.

"I helped set up the portal devourer, now I need your help to stop it."

Ryan crossed both arms, and walking around the iron pillars, he went about assessing how that mechanism worked. Carefully, he walked past the cables, as he assessed that machine.

"Ah..." He said, as he looked at the back of it. As that was a memory of Aether, part of the mechanism was completely blackened, as the blond had not observed it.

"The guild made public to the S-Ranks the situation with the cube, most travelers are in favor of using the portal devourer. The amount of attacks was more than we could handle in the three cities."

"Did you get to see how they are using that cube?" Ryan said, but Aether shook his head.

Ryan's eyes were clenched like a hunter's, but looking at the blond's face, he seemed to be telling the truth.

'So the storage of the portals is still classified information...'

<I'm starting to be more afraid of Rin>

'I am too'

"This device is a little more complex than I thought," said Ryan, who assessed how it was working. The information wasn't accurate with Aether's memories, but it was still possible to get a general sense of how the machine was working.

'I'll have Rin show me her recordings again...'

Ryan's Demon Sight was stuck on what Aether's eyes could perceive of that machine. And even if Aether was an experienced and intelligent mage, that wasn't much compared to what he had perceived from Rin's memories.

In general, that cube was receiving mana from an external source. It was being stabilized by two gravity spells and several runes that kept the heat in, so the machine wouldn't explode.

"That's scary," he said, and then Aether and Ryan stepped out of those memories.

Taking a step back, Ryan returned to his senses.

'Did you understand what I said just now? I didn't think the guild would do something like that' the blond said, again in a mental transmission.

The two of them were staring at each other, Ryan didn't know how to deal with Aether, and the blond still seemed to be a little suspicious.

"We need to talk at a better time" he said, and then bowed and walked away from the blond. Aether had a confused look on his face, but when he stretched his neck to see where he was going, it all started to make more sense.

"He's indeed a womanizer..."

"Are you okay?" Ryan said, as he knelt down.

Alice was sitting on a black sofa, in the middle of the room where the meeting was taking place. She was again with a disappointed face, and in the same instant she hugged him holding herself back from crying.

Shaking her head, she said no.

"My mom doesn't want to talk to me..."

He then sat down on the couch and hugged her, looking at one of the tables he activated his Demon Sight to assess Alexandra Lightstone.

----------

'This is going to be more complicated than I thought...'

As Ryan's eyes scrolled across Alexandra's status screen, one piece of information caught his eye. The Esteem level she possessed was high, which meant she didn't have a dislike or grudge against him.

'So, she just doesn't know how to show her feelings? Or does she really dislike her own daughter?'

"Can we leave?" Alice said, with a slightly saddened face. Ryan nodded, and they both got up from the couch. Walking together to one of the less busy corners of the building, Ryan held out one of his hands and opened a portal away from there. The two disappeared without telling anyone, but they were still far from home.

"Where? What is this place?" Alice said, as she looked everywhere in confusion.

The place was dark, and it was hard to observe anything other than the starry sky that covered the entire region they were in.

But with the silence of that night, the two of them could hear the sound of water. Waves came and went without stopping

Stretching out his hands, Ryan created a fire that crackled and danced, casting flickering shadows upon the sandy ground. The flames' warm embrace pushed back the encroaching darkness, revealing more of their surroundings. The beach stretched out before them, a wide expanse of moonlit sand that seemed to merge seamlessly with the vast ocean. The waves rolled in with a soothing rhythm, their white froth glowing faintly in the moonlight before dissipating into the night.

Now that she could clearly see what was happening, the beach grew more and more beautiful.

Ryan used earth magic to create two stone benches in front of the fire, and sitting embraced by that warmth, he gestured with one hand calling her.

*clap*

He tapped the stone twice, showing her she could sit there.

"Excuse me," she said, and carefully sat down so as not to tear her dress.

Ryan removed his blazer, leaving only the dress shirt and tie he was wearing. Unbuttoning the buttons of his shirt, he revealed a bit of his neck, which made Alice blush at the sight she was getting.n0veluSb.c0m

The silence of the night remained for a few minutes, as only the campfire broke with the sound of sparks appearing and disappearing. The two exchanged intense glances and then moved closer and embraced each other.

The moonlight was being reflected on the surface of the sea, the waves were streaked with the silver tones of the moon and the light, leaving deep shadows soon after. Each glistening crest that forms, before gently sliding back into the depths, is like a slow and steady breath of nature.

The constant sound of the waves is like a serene song, a steady rhythm that was calming the two even more. The silence remained for a few minutes, but Ryan began to hear the sound of Alice's heartbeat, which slowly increased as the two embraced.

"Thank you for bringing me here" she said, and with a smile, Ryan replied "I knew you needed this".

As the two watched the waves of the sea, time seemed to disappear. And the truth was, time really wasn't passing. Alice couldn't think about it, and looking up at the sky she just wondered why she couldn't recognize any stars. The truth was that Ryan had created a portal to a deserted beach in the second world, a place he had recently explored alone.

The nature in that place was untouched, and the trees, as much as they looked like palm trees, were a unique native species. There were no monsters or animals in that area, only a few unique fish that jumped in the distant sea reflecting the moonlight of the second world. The beach was calming their bodies down, although both of their faces were still quite active, with an intense exchange of glances, they both already knew what they wanted.

Ryan ran one of his hands down Alice's neck, going under her ear as he approached her mouth. The two began kissing, Alice sticking out her tongue as she climbed onto Ryan's lap. The girl's dress ended up ripping due to her carelessness, but that didn't make them stop

The two ended up falling on the sand, and taking off their clothes, they began to kiss more intensely. Ryan laid Alice down, and started kissing her neck, all the way down to her breasts. Her body was starting to grow, and it was evident that her breasts were already a little bigger than before. With a small bite on her nipple, he made her scream without fear, echoing all over that beach.

"GYAAAAWNN!!! Ryan! Take it easy..." she said, as she put her hands in front of her face.

The light from the moon and the campfire was being reflected on Alice's white skin. Running his hand across her belly, Ryan moved his own hand up until he was carefully gripping her neck. Spreading the girl's legs, he slowly slipped his own penis in.

The two then began to fuck, and the silent beach now had only the sound of the winds, the sea, and the moaning of that girl.

Ryan then closed both eyes, and concentrated only on the sensations he was having. The warmth of Alice's pussy, the wind hitting his body as the fire kept him warm. And enveloped by the sound of the campfire, the sea and Alice's moans, he was enjoying that night of pleasure, releasing all his anger and stress into his wife's pussy.
