Chapter 50 Intense Training - Desperate Escape!
The reason this place was called hell wasn't some buzzword to make the first years feel scared or add excitement to training.
It was the only word to describe where Xavida and Asura were sent.
***
A red world with black rotting trees and soft, murky mud below their feet, the pair found themselves in a rotting forest filled with the stench of death and decay.
"We should get ready for combat—" Asura's words were cut short as a long black leg penetrated his abdomen, the sharp appendage coming from a deformed insect like a huge mosquito with eroded wings and black tar covering its body.
"Ugh!?" 'Damn, it hurts... my abdomen is burning... I can't feel my right arm!?'
There was no mistaking that the creature was above stage three and that the pair had zero time to respond due to the nature of this random teleportation.
It was all down to luck as a dirty, volatile substance began to fill the wound, dirty black tar bubbling as the leg tore from the wound with his blood spraying.
All of this happened in a matter of one second.
"!!!"
A jolt of purple lightning flashed before the body of Xavida, covered in dark purple scales, appeared above the monster; she had jumped into the air, transforming mid-way, using her wings to throw her forward as her claws ripped at the monster's back, tearing a thick chunk of the dirty purple meat and black sludge before her hands pushed out a loud crackle before lightning began to envelop the monster with a sharp bolt.
She felt her abdomen hurt, pulling the muscle due to her anger and bad positioning before the lightning was shot.
"Nnn....!"
Asura's dull eyes saw the flash of purple lightning before the sour scent of cooked meat that had spoilt filled his nose.
"Haa...." His lips struggled to breathe as the strange fluid was slowly devoured by his body and turned into whatever it could...
[Asura! This is a nasty toxin. Make sure your little partner doesn't get it in her body.]
He couldn't replay but nodded, trying to straighten himself, but the sudden attack had damaged the muscles connecting his right side, setting him off balance as he regenerated.
Xavida landed, her foot slipping in the sludge, her head leaning back as a long, sharp tongue snapped at her former position...
When she looked to the right, a sense of horror filled her chest as dozens of glowing eyes watched them from the darkness of the blood forest.
I should have activated my armour... why was I too conceited? He cursed, watching Xavida's eyes filled with shock and something he never expected from her...
Fear...
There was a moment of hesitation before her body glowed purple as the magical glow wrapped around her feet, and she used it to shoot away, grabbing Asura's arm.
No matter how angry she got later, he decided this was the best way to help heal her body and mana core, which was likely damaged from overuse. Asura lifted the chin of Xavida—her eyes seemed as pale as her face as she looked at him weakly, a smile as if happy he was okay.
He grabbed the small bottle with the lemon water and medicine mixed before taking a large gulp, keeping it inside his mouth, before leaning down and kissing her lightly with his hand holding the back of her neck to stop her from resisting and thumbs against her lips to keep her mouth from closing—he transferred the lemon liquid before separating...
Xavida was too weak to fight, so she swallowed the sweet but sour liquid and medicine, and she coughed and wretched as Asura took another gulp and repeated the process twice until he felt her tongue fighting against his.
'So she has recovered enough strength to push me...?'
Xavida wanted to reject Asura due to the fact she had vomited and worried about her breath, but he didn't show a bad face and kept coming back, so she began to forget her fatigue and sore body as his anima entered her body, revitalising her from the core outwards, mixing with her magic element before entering her brain...
After transferring a few mouthfuls of lemon water with medicine and anima, Asura separated. He saw her blushing face, no longer pale, and eyes brighter before he placed their foreheads together, checking for a temperature.
Her amethyst eyes just watched him, her hands wrapped around his back now with more strength as she felt his strange power flowing through her body and, once again, the pleasure of him draining even more of the last bit of her curse.
"Are you feeling alright, Xavi?" His voice was low and gentle and seemed more charming as they were close in a dark cave, her eyes never leaving his face as she smiled gently.
"Mm! I feel really good, thank you... Asura." 'Good, I was worried you might become sick or hurt... He thought, stroking her soft, silky white hair—he didn't stop until her racing hearts synchronised with his.'
During her moment of fever, both of them were racing so fast he thought she might die as they burst from her chest. "I am going to go hunting outside the cave—I saw some edible monsters—can you wait here and start building our camp here? I have some talismans that ward monsters, safety candles and blankets in my storage."
Asura told Xavida with a commanding voice but still allowed her some leeway to choose. She looked at him like an abandoned rabbit before she pushed out her lips as if to say it was okay if he...
This time, without the medicine or an excuse, he leaned in, pressing his lips gently and kissed Xavida, their lips wet, warm and gentle as he opened her teeth slightly—they shared a deep kiss where her tongue entered his mouth.
Something he never imagined her ever doing of her own volition as she began to explore his mouth, wrapping her tongue around his and drinking his saliva...
When he separated after five minutes of gentle French kissing, Xavida seemed dazed as if forgetting everything except this strange guy, and she just watched him with half-closed, expectant eyes—watching his black wolf helmet close, leaving only his attractive red eyes glowing with a tracing light as he turned to leave.
"I'll be back within an hour."
"Mmm... I'll wait."
"Lumeris Nova... It's time to hunt."
[I will help locate the enemy and slowly leave things to you...]
'No, Brian. I will fight alone.' 'Otherwise, I will never learn and always rely on you in the moment of need.'
'Thank you for offering.'
[In emergencies, then!]
With that thought, Asura once again stepped into the dreaded hell that awaited him, but this time, he wouldn't be unprepared or overconfident for a single moment.
He realised the forest beside the kingdom only had domesticated and tamed monsters...
Here, they were all wild, violent and filled with hunger.
