A Mere Fate Of Mine - Chapter 17

 

“I guess I’ll just train till then, hah.”, sighed Lucien. He then looked at Alicia curiously.

 

“Umm, Alicia, you can fight, right?”

 

“Of course, what do you mean asking me like that?” She furrowed her brows answering.

 

“Well, you don’t have any armor or weapon?”

 

“You mean this?” Alicia then stretched her hand forward and a translucent crystal-like long spear appeared. “As for armor, a transcendent being like me doesn’t need one!”

 

“So, what is exactly a transcendent being?”

 

“Simple, if anyone reach level 400, before they die, of course, they will be a transcendent being.”

 

“Wow, level 400! Amazing!” Lucien was shocked. That’s mean the woman in front of him was at least level 400! “Sis Alicia, how long it takes for one to reach level 400?”

 

“It normally takes hundreds of years and sometime more than a thousand, you see?” Then, Alicia lifted her head up and proudly said, “But it only took me 500 years. I’m great, right?”

 

“Woah! So how long has you been a transcendant, Alicia?”

 

Alicia touched her little chin, thinking a bit. “Umm, around 4000 years, I guess.”

 

Lucien quickly bowed his head.”Ah, I have disrespected you. I apologize, grandma Ali-”

 

Pa!

 

Boom!

 

“What do you mean grandma!?”

 

Just a simple slap from her sent him into a stone wall.

 

“Argh, I’m not death, right?” Lucien crawled himself out from the hole. Looking at his status, however, his health bar didn’t decrease a bit. Only pain was killing him.

 

Coming back to the same place, he saw Alicia pouting with angry face. He helplessly sighed, “Hah I’m sorry, great great great great great great(20 times)… great grandma Alicia. Is this enough to show my respect?”

 

“Woah, you actually dare! Respect your mom!”

 

Pa!

 

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh”

 

—————————————————

 

After walking back half a kilometer, leaving another trail of blood, Lucien apologized to her cutely(?). It didn’t even look cute with his face, but at least Alicia forgave him.

 

They then came into conclusion that in order for them to escape from Abyss, She would need to train Lucien till he has 1500 mana points.

 

“I can’t move my legs right now and my body is injured. It would probably take a year for me to naturally heal so I won’t be able to teach you fighting for now.” Alicia said normally. After all, a year was not long for her who had infinite life span.

 

“What about your sealed mana?”

 

“I don’t know. It’s my first time being sealed like this. This will probably take years to let it disperse naturally.”

 

“Don’t you have some potions?”, asked Lucien curiously.

 

“Nope, I used up all of them. That’s how I preserve my life till now, you see?” shrugged Alicia.

 

“That’s bad”

 

A year was too long for him who had come to this world not over a month. Moreover, training by himself would be very slow and boring so he wanted her, a level 400 angel, to teach him.

 

Checking his status, a light bulb appeared above his head. “Oh right! I have this path called ‘Ecstasy Massage Divine Technique’. It might be able to help you heal faster.”

 

“Hmm? What is massage?” It seemed Alicia didn’t know what a massage is. Maybe she never had a massage before?

 

“In my world, massage is to let someone squeezes your body to make it feels better, I guess. I never had one as well.” Lucien was curious as well. However, he got this path from the overpowered Luck path so it should be somewhat useful.

 

“Well, it actually has the word ‘Divine’ in it, just like how those from Myriad Realms naming their better skills.” Alicia was a bit interested. “Let’s try then.”

 

Lucien looked at his path menu and found that he already had a total of 468 PP. His hands shook a bit thinking of how he got these much points.

 

There were many new paths for him as well. 150 PP for a massage path was ridiculous but it’s worth a try. Luck path did save his life after all.

 

So, he poured his PP in. The path gave him something every 50 PP.

[Congratulations! You have received a title ‘Little Divine Masseurs’.]

 

“What’s with that progenitor’s message?” Apart from that stupid message, Lucien was very satisfied with this path as the skills he got were all Unique rank. He felt that Unique was better than Rare rank skills.

 

Most importantly, he actually got a title! The title always proved to be useful and not simple. His ‘Will of Survivor’ saved him numerous times and even gave him a skill.

 

Moreover, his Soul Skill also gave him so much stats.

It came in a cycle of these fives, one every 10 PP, a total of 50 PP per cycle.

‘Mm, every skills give target an intense pleasure, huh. Can I even use these in battle?’ Lucien actually found this skill set funny and interesting.

 

With Ecstasy Divine Massage skill, a few method of massage appeared in his mind. Every methods were therapies. He skimmed through it for a bit then said to Alicia.

 

“Um, Alicia, I think my massage might be able help you. It said massage can relieving stress, increase blood circulation, improve body function, increase the rate of recovery and many more benefits.”

 

He continued, “However, with my mana right now, I can only massage for 20 minutes. Also, massaging you, a transcendant, would increase my skills levels a lot. Do you want to try?”

 

“Okay,” Alicia didn’t hold much expectation anyway. She only agreed because she was curious about the so called massage and they had so much time. After all, 20 minutes was nothing.

 

Lucien told Alicia to lie on her stomach. She took out a soft mat from the air, like how she took out her spear and orb, and lied down obediently.

 

‘It’s probably a spatial item or skill.’ Lucien found something like item box normal in this fantasy world.

 

Activating Insight of the Divine Masseurs, he examined her entire body. With the skill, he could see where he needed to attend the most.

 

“I will massage your legs then.”

 

Using Euphoria Touch and Breath of the Divine Masseurs, he placed his hand on her right leg and squeezed them.

 

The feeling was nice. Her leg was so soft that he was enjoyed squeezing them. He tried every divine hand techniques, kneading her leg like a bun.

 

He also use his Gale manipulation, keeping the temperature cool and comfortable.

 

As for Alicia

 

At first, she was amazed. The pain on her legs actually subsided.

 

She tried to focused on the place Lucien was massaging and found that her blood and mana were circulating very fluidly, aiding her recovery.

 

Although her mana was sealed, she still had it in her body. It’s just that she couldn’t use it.

 

‘This massage is amazing!’ She praised silently in her heart.

 

“Mmm~” Suddenly, a quiet moan escaped out from her little mouth.

 

‘W-What happened? I-I didn’t moan, right?’

 

After ten minutes, Alicia started to lose her focus as an intense pleasure filled her entire body.

 

‘W-What is this feeling!?’

 

Her eyes slowly closed themself as her mind blurred. Her brain seemed to stop working as her body concentrated every cells to intake immeasurable feeling of ecstasy.

 

Breathing roughly, her face became red.

 

His hands were smooth and moved in a nice rhythm. It’s like he was playing music, a heavenly song, with her body as an instrument.

 

“Mmmmm~”

 

And Alicia, an at least level 400 transcendant being, started to moan along with the rhythm.
