Assassination Through the Netherworld - Chapter 86

His eyes regarded the skies, a pair of sleeping beauties in his arms, flushed against his body and sleeping soundly with satisfied sighs, the perfect epilogue of a delightfully carved passionate evening.

He didn’t sleep, guarding his two girls against the dangers of the forest, his ruby knife was in close proximity and Vera had also left her Rose Eagle Torn close enough to engage immediately were it needed.

But the three hoped that no such events would take place in this misty night with shining moonlight.

‘Perfection…’

He sighed, feeling that even on the Earth he never felt this satisfied and complete, perhaps when people said ‘materialistic’ things aren’t important, they were right… he’s currently in a house that doesn’t even have a roof, and he’s happy… were the rain to fall in them, they would soak in it, but they would soak with content smiles.

Without anyone noticing and with the three moons shining through the tree branches as witnesses, he took out the ring and slipped it in Fayette’s wedding finger in her left hand.

‘Don’t let your left hand know what your right hand does…’ He’d rather do it this way.

He’s enjoying his time with both, loves the two of them, but Fayette is undoubtedly the Queen of his heart, Vera is aware, but he wants to keep things as calm as possible, the first time being in a relationship with two women at the same time, he’s bound to learn while applying what he knows.

The other thing he inspected was the badge given to them by Warcroft, this badge that supposedly represents their status as protectors.

…

When it was already late enough and the girls had yet to wake up, he slipped out of their embrace, they’re going to be hungry once they wake.

The thing is… he doesn’t want to just go and hunt leaving them alone here, naked and open for anyone or anything to attack them, his worst fear is that there is some kind of mutated monkey in this forest… those creatures would be able to easily crawl on the tree and into their house.

He dressed up and threw some clothes and rags on top of both his girls who were seemingly too tired to notice his absence.

“What to do…?”

Miki and Teddi were sleeping down there, not having gone through any issues in the night apparently.

He jumped down and landed not far away from them.

‘My physical strength has increased a lot, before, I wouldn’t be able to pull out that jump so easily.’

“Miki…” He caressed his magma bear’s head and she raised up with a brief growl, ready to rumble with a hungry stomach.

“You’re ready aren’t you?~”

She growled once again and Teddi woke up, releasing a small hump and laying back down.

“Take care of them while I’m gone Teddi, if anything happens, just growl loudly.”

The lazy callisto bear dropped on her stomach, his only reassurance was that her eyes were regarding everything, she didn’t return to her slumber immediately.

‘That’s something…’

Mounting Miki with one of the demon’s spears in hand, they set off to do some hunting and reconnaissance.

He’s unclear of how wide this forest is, the location of the entrance they came from had already been marked through the trees, they had a cross mark and a sign, a general practice of chartism.

That way, so long as they saw those marks, they would be able to tell not only if they were in front of phenomena like the alleyways, spatial phenomena, but it would also indicate where traps, threats or particular locations were.

He didn’t intend to be away for more than an hour and hence, they hastened and didn’t act lowkey, Miki’s size gave him confidence.

His main objective was to move around the origin of the lake, with water around where the beast is likely to dwell around and hunt.

He hadn’t been wrong, shortly after, he spotted what resembled a puma, but… worse.

The size was only several inches smaller than Miki!

And Miki is LARGE!

*WOOSHH!!*

Witnessing the threatening volcanic bear, the puma whose skin seemed to be a mix between a puma and a porcupine started to act all furtive and conceal itself with the shadows, but it wouldn’t escape their sight.

*BAANG!!*

Miki didn’t beat around the bush, she immediately spouted a mouthful of Lava towards the creature!

!!!!

Valentine panicked for a minute, now knowing if such an action would light up this entire forest in fire, but as the magma consumed the soil, no wildfire was produced, the Puma dodged swiftly, moving at a speed ridiculous compared to its size as if gravity wasn’t a thing, he knows that he has a greater advantage by staying on Miki, taking the reins he charged forward spear in hand hoping that the ‘needles’ attached to the Puma weren’t as sharp and wouldn’t release themselves like that of a porcupine.

Thankfully, that was the case, attacking it isn’t simple, but the Puma has a big weakness in its head and its needles also can’t pierce through Miki’s tough skin easily.

‘What a catch, we can make arrows with those!’ While charging the spiked the Puma several times while evading the ridiculous claws, Miki resulted injured at one of the swipes, she sacrificed her well-being to give him an opening, after both she and the puma crashed into one another, he jumped and sink the spear deep in the Puma’s eye, going as far into the brain as possible.

*WOOOSHH!!*

*BOOOOMM!!*

A torrent of blood was released as the mutated puma fell limb on the ground.

“Ufff…” He cleaned his forehead and regarded the dead corpse of the puma while Miki started doing her ‘business’ she didn’t need his confirmation and started to ‘ravage’ the corpse.

“Good job, Miki.” He said with a proud smile and the bear only grunted slightly with its mouth filled with the flesh coming from the Puma’s stomach, the place that had no needles.

She’s having her fill and he doesn’t mind leaving her to eat as much as she wants, this corpse alone should be enough to feed them for several days before it starts to rot, he’ll make sure to use everything he can from it.

Arrows from the needles, throwing knives from the claws, nails and utensils from the bones, even the blood could be used as bait for other monsters.

His hand sank deep in the puma’s brain and he extracted a relatively big piece of bloody core.

Valentine regarded it for a few seconds, thinking on whether he should give it to Vera who is always hunting them but… he decided to eat it.

*MUNCH!!*

!!!

It tasted horrible as ever, but… he continued to eat it, they have to become stronger and so far, this is the only idea he has… Vera is turning stronger by doing this, so, they must be able to get stronger as well by eating these cores.

After Miki had her fill, she carried the corpse on her back and they walked back to their camp where surprisingly, Vera and Fayette were still asleep!

‘Lazy bums…’ He sighed and started to grill some meat for them and himself, making sure to do it close enough to the tree.

Miki went back to sleep while Teddi had some fresh meat as well.

Fayette’s nose was the first one to get ‘funny’.

She started to smell something wonderful and her hands wandered, finding a pair of breasts but obviously, they’re too big to be Valentine’s… the blonde bombshell aka lazy bum number one, shamelessly stood up after having slept like a log and stretched her delicious body before making her way to the edge of the foundation, beneath she saw her man cooking and she recognised that indeed.

It’s time to wake up.

But waking up wasn’t enough.

She started to shake the salivating Vera, “Hey, Vera… wake up, it’s time for breakfast.”

“Umm, a few minutes more~” Vera wasn’t in the mood to wake up, she turned around to hug her pillow in the form of Valentine and didn’t find it, pouting slightly, this didn’t deter her from going back to sleep pillow or not.

Fayette rolled her eyes, “Your call, that means more for me~”

…

“Dear! I’m coming!” There is nothing sweeter than a beautiful lady who just had a satisfactory bout of lovemaking, she overflows like mellow honey.

The beauty landed beside Valentine who was in the process of munching some barbeque, he pinched the pieces of meat in sticks and did several dozens of them grilling them atop a pile of scalding rocks impulsed with sollux inflammable liquid.

“Morning, did you sleep well?” They gave each other a few pecks and she sat beside him now dressed up.

“Like a log~ thank you, did you find anything special…? aside from well, the obvious.” Fayette took one of the sticks with her gaze fixed on the porcupine, to her it resembled more a porcupine than a puma, and that’s mostly because there are only bones left, Valentine had already separated the flesh they were going to eat for the next few days.

“I didn’t see any of those goblins, but I found that puma near the river channel, I don’t think we’re going to experience a lack of food, but this is definitely not a place a common demon or human can survive in” He asserted, if an overpowered creature like Miki can still be injured… this place is not safe at all, it made him wonder how are Jurgen and Sophia faring.

It’s not his business, mostly curious.

“Delicius~ are we finishing the roof today?”

“Yes, for the next few days we’re going to try and finish the outline of the house and make it secure, for some reason I can’t stop thinking about some mutated gorillas barging in…”

“That’s your imagination running wild.”

“Say that after looking at that porcupine-puma… or at Miki, these creatures aren’t normal, Faye.” He pointed at the two creatures, leaving the blonde out of words, she decided to just shrug it away, in truth just having a platform while sleeping directly beneath the moons was so satisfactory, that she didn’t want to place any roof in between, but sadly…. this is Hell, not Canada.
