Chapter 90

“What happened?!!”

“Did someone attack?!!”

“Light!!!”

The screams of the young woman I was currently depleting my reserves in caused soldiers to leap from their tents.

But did I find them concerning?

Hell naw!

Although I heard Lucas discussing something with them, I wasn't paying attention to them. I think I've already said that I wasn't afraid to get a woman pregnant. I hadn't done that in this world because I was too weak and didn't know what danger was ahead.

I was not going to have children until I had the strength to defend myself and my family, or families, from any threat, whether it be supernatural, human, or celestial.

But…

[Your potent essence is invading Cassandra Hector]

[Blessing of Freya has taken into effect]

[Cassandra Hector will conceive your child]

[Child procreated from Freya’s blessing would have special properties of both her and your bloodline]

[Would you like Cassandra Hector to become pregnant?]

[Yes\No]

And just like that, I could breathe again. I took a deep breath and felt my soul return after such a big announcement.

It wasn't a permanent effect because the system was still requesting authorization. I was interested to see what it would do, but I wasn't foolish enough to start. If I didn't have a good plan, the world itself might turn against me.

Let’s not forget the kind of world I was in. I didn't dare to imagine the consequences of giving birth, since it went against the rules of this world, if building an almost permanent dick stopped time for an indeterminate period of time.

‘No.’ I promptly selected "No," and an additional set of notifications was displayed.

[Pregnancy would be nullified]

[Blessing of Freya would be redirected towards Cassandra Hector]

[A random effect would take place]

[…]

[…]

[Cassandra Hector has been blessed with the skill ‘Ria Heal’]

The glimmer of light emanating from Cassandra's body was insufficient to alert those on the outside, and even I was unable to discern subtle differences.

The light dissipated within seconds, and upon its cessation, there was no discernible distinctiveness. When I got the message that the state of completion was over, my dick went back to being the size of a stub. Cassandra was now lying on her stomach, still breathing heavily but not out of it.

“Are you alright, young lady?” Lucas worriedly asked when Cassandra went outside. Her legs were still a little shaky, but nothing too badly.

“I’m fine.” She replied. After a period of silence, she finally said, "I'm going to meditate for a while. Don’t disturb me.”

Then she turned to face me and said, "Instead of me, join Lucas in the night watch."

“Understood, young lady.” I joined Lucas and nodded in agreement; however, my primary focus was on Cassandra, who was seated on a rock and had commenced a meditation session. The amount of aura she gained must have been minimal because I had only come inside her once, but she was still trying to stabilize that. Although there was no chance of poisoning because it wasn't enough to hurt her, it was still preferable to integrate it herself rather than letting it do so on its own.

But what she gained piqued my curiosity more. The blessing of Freya. What did it mean? I couldn’t understand anything at all. I mean, I was aware of Freya's identity as the fertility goddess, but as I mentioned earlier, there were no gods in this world. Only beings as strong as gods existed, and I could become one too.

In other words, my idea was that there was a supreme being in the world who mastered fertilization. The other kind. The lewd kind. An extension of that theory would be that Cassandra's acquisition of this skill made sense because fertility was linked to creation and life, and healing traits were linked to holy or divine powers that were extensions of the power of life.

My sole concern was whether or not this kind of random effect would be experienced by every woman I had sex with going forward.

Although I had to try, there was a good chance that it would be something else entirely and not something to take lightly.

I guess I'll have to put that off for now. For now, I had to finish this mission. I was looking forward to having a threesome or a foursome with my family. Men excluded, of course.

After that, I just went to sleep and woke up at the same time as everyone else. Without any problems, we set off again, making our way farther and farther into the woods. At that pace, by tomorrow, the third and last day of our mission, we would be able to make it to the deepest area of the forest.

As planned, by the end of the next day, we had arrived at the spot where the wolf's den was, but there was nothing there. Cassandra had no choice but to order our return, so we followed her instructions and headed back. Three days in and three days out of the forest meant that, assuming there were no mishaps or delays en route, the royal envoy would arrive by the next day of our return.

“So there was nothing?” Zara inquired as Cassandra and I stood before her. She inquired about both of us, but Cassandra was the first to respond, stating, "Unfortunately, there were no signs of either Monsters or humans."

“Hmmm.” Zara hummed for a while but didn't say anything.

With no other choice in sight, she inhaled deeply and uttered, "Compile a thorough report. To avoid receiving any blame, we must inform the royal envoy of this.

Since Carlson, who held more authority in the royal palace, was present when the baron left, there was already a very good chance that Zara and her family would not be harmed. However, since the king was a supremacist, it was best to avoid any loose ends that might be picked up. And the king's nitpicking in this case would be more than just nitpicking.

Anyway…

Zuuummm~~~

Zara was still feeling the slight pleasure that the anal vibrator had provided, based on the slight vibration that made it to my ears.

But the mana stone's power would soon run out, so let's see what happens.

“May I take care of the report, Lady Zara?” I volunteered because I thought I could better explain everything without leaving out important details and make sure no one found out anything about me.

“No. We cannot let you stand out to the king’s faction.” Zara outright refused. Although I had also considered this line of reasoning, I was only considering giving Cassandra full credit, but only in my own words.

I attempted to clarify the same point on my terms, but Zara continued to refuse, stating that she didn't want to. I mean, I could see where she was coming from. She was currently vulnerable, as she was only protected by her father's name. Despite the fact that her husband's absence rendered her domain, this town, ineffective at the time, numerous individuals and organizations would observe it.

Now that it had magical crops growing on it, it was no longer useless, but the king was still keeping an eye on it, so it was both safe and in danger.

I was, in one way, her insurance card. She had far too much information about me, and if her organization's support faltered in any way, she could use it to gain the king's or another organization's favor.

As expected, I had taken too many risks with her. In some way, she had also gotten around the mana oath. Considering that, if she could do it again, it would only mean one thing to me.

She was an enemy.

Well, that was yet to be seen. She was a talent I wasn’t willing to give up on so easily. Yes, I needed power and influence, but that didn't mean I was going to jeopardize my entire future for her. If she showed any signs of betrayal, I would get rid of her and everything and everyone that was connected to her.

Zara dismissed us, but not before stopping me and saying, "Jack, send your father to me when you get home. There are some things I'd like to talk about with him.

“Understood, Lady Zara,” I replied and left.

I didn't know what she wanted to talk about with Julian, but since Sandra's marriage to one of Zara's sons was already being talked about at home, I had a notion.

As expected, when I came home and…

Pah!

“Kyahh!!”

... grabbed everyone's attention by slapping Rayla's luscious and soft skirt-covered ass. Julian, the husband of the woman I was harassing, stood up quickly and said, "I should go quickly so as not to make the lady wait much."

And now that he was gone, my path was only blocked by one obstacle. But I knew how to get rid of him as well.

‘Shop.’

Let me know if you find any errors.

I actually tried changing my writing style, so don't hesitate to give your opinion.

Also, here's a little something something...
