Even as Tempest and Penelope's thoughts took flight, Kiba and the water spirit stared at each other, a palpable tension crackling between them.
The moment dragged on, neither of them breaking the silence.
Suddenly, the water spirit's watery face changed, her eyes widening as she looked off into the distance within the jungle.
Kiba, startled, turned to follow her gaze.
Tempest and Penelope did the same, their curiosity piqued.
Even Martha, from her distant vantage point, tracked their line of sight to see what had caused the water spirit's indifferent expression to shift into one of shock.
Bang!
Just then, a misty bomb exploded from behind, a thick fog enveloping the area.
Kiba's head snapped back to where the water spirit had been, but she was gone, leaving only the swirling mist in her wake.
".............................."
His jaw dropped in pure shock.
The water spirit, knowing she was no match for Kiba, had acted shocked and looked into the distance to distract everyone.
It was a clever ruse, a simple yet effective way to escape.
Kiba was speechless, and so were the women.
None of them had experienced something like this before.
Penelope's mouth hung open, her usually fierce eyes wide with surprise. Tempest blinked rapidly, her mind struggling to process the sudden disappearance.
Martha, on the other hand, just stared stupidly. She couldn't believed she was fooled by a mere spirit!
"Well, this is embarrassing," Kiba muttered, scratching his head.
He had encountered various types of opponents, some very sly, yet he had never encountered a situation like this.
Even when he was weak as Zed, a mere slum insect in Delta City, he never thought of such a simple but smart way to escape.
He felt a twinge of jealousy at the water spirit's wits.
"She has just awakened, and yet she's so shameless..." Kiba sighed.
Unbeknownst to him, the water spirit had inherited some of his traits when she devoured his life-energy from his cum.
"Shall we jump in?" he asked, his gaze fixed on the narrowing gap.
Tempest and Penelope nodded without hesitation.
A confident smile spread across Kiba's face.
He slammed his feet down, and water splashed up in a dazzling spray. The closing chasm cracked open, widening into a gaping maw that led into the heart of the mountain.
The interior was breath-taking: a vast network of metallic tunnels and chambers stretching before them, glistening with an otherworldly sheen.
The walls, intricately designed, bore the mark of ancient craftsmanship, a stark contrast to the natural beauty outside.
"What is this?!" Tempest gasped, her eyes wide with astonishment.
Penelope shared her disbelief.
Despite their status in Eden, they had never known that such a network lay hidden within the mountain.
"Only one way to find out!"
Kiba exclaimed, his voice echoing through the tunnels. He leaped into one of the passages, following the faint energy traces of the water spirit.
Tempest and Penelope, without a moment's hesitation, jumped in after him.
...
Meanwhile, outside, Martha finally arrived above the mountain.
Her ass was still on fire, a constant reminder of the reality-warping powers of Kiba.
It had taken immense effort to reach this point, a journey that should have been instantaneous for someone of her strength.
"This is bad!"
Martha huffed, looking at the gaping maw below.
"The inner topography of Eden is restricted to all but Her Highness."
She knew secrets that few others in Eden did. The beautiful mountain and jungle were hiding this network, known only to the Ice Queen.
"But Her Highness never explicitly made it forbidden as the entrances were hidden and sealed... and they would have been if not for that man and his cock!!"
Martha's face flushed with warm blood as thoughts of Kiba's cock filled her mind.
Be it the pain in her ass or the awakening of the water spirit, everything seemed to trace back to that wonderful cock!
