Ero Skill Tree - Chapter 217: No Contact

The lack of reply was a little worrying, but she could just still be busy with the harpies. I was going to panic just yet.

The two girls were looking at me with concern.

“Don’t worry, she doesn’t always answer right away…” I took in a deep breath and called out again. “Celine are you there.”

There was a faint reply. “Yes master… I’m just on my way… it won’t be long.”

I let out a sigh of relief. “Okay, you don’t need to push yourself.”

A moment later Celine appeared in the room before us. She took a step, wobbled caught herself. She tried to take another step and then collapsed.

I jumped to my feet and dashed over to her. “Celine!”

She looked up as I reached her. “I’m okay master, I’m just a little drained. I’m not injured.”

“That’s a relief!”

I slowly helped her back to her feet and walked her over to the bed. Once she was settled down, I tried to find out what had happened.

“How did you end up like this?”

“I had to travel further than I expected. When I arrived the harpies were okay, but I had noticed movement nearby when I approached. The harpies had to move, and I went with them.”

“You could’ve come straight back.”

“I know, but I knew you would be worried if we didn’t know where they had gone.”

“Celine…”

“I’m okay, I feel fine now. It was just a little wobble.”

“I think you should feed now.”

She looked at me trying to hide her enthusiasm at my suggestion. “But have you had time to rest yourself.”

“I’m perfectly fine. I’ve hardly done anything all day apart from ride in the carriage. I’m definitely not wobbling about or collapsing on the floor. I can easily just take a potion.”

“If you say so master.”

Aetherin got to her feet. “I think, I’ll head back to my room for a moment.” She glanced to the other two girls sat on the bed. “Would you like to join me? Just for a minute while Theo attends to Celine.”

The pair looked at each other, before Ameri answered. “Sure, we’ll come with you. We can keep an eye on the corridor too, while Theo is indisposed.”

They got up off the bed and followed Aetherin to the door.

It would be easier without an audience and probably lessened the chance of things getting really out of hand.

“Thank you, we won’t be long. I’ll come and call for you once we’ve finished up hear.”

Aetherin turned back as she reached the door. “Don’t worry, take your time and make sure she recovers. We’ll make sure everything is under control outside.”

Then the three of them then left, leaving Celine and me in the room alone.

I pulled my whole body up onto the bed and shuffled up, leaning myself up against the headboard.

Celine was already looking at me hungrily.

“Go ahead Celine.”

She quickly wiped her lips with her hand. “Yes master.”

She pulled herself up on the bed and crawled over to me on all fours. Then she began hurriedly undoing my belt. Once loose, she pulled them down several inches along with my boxers.

Celine’s powers were already in effect, and before she had even touched me, I was already aroused.

She leant forward, took hold of my dick and slipped it into her mouth. She almost swallowed it whole in one go.

Celine was just too good at this, even without her powers enhancing the sensation.

I was on the edge almost immediately.

Her tongue worked itself around as she sucked away. She wasn’t trying to drag this out.

I held her head and ran my fingers through her hair, pulling her towards me. I was hit by an intense wave of pleasure. I was done.

Celine pulled her head up and looked up at me as she licked her lips. “That was quick master!”

“I couldn’t really help it. That was a little overwhelming.”

She laughed. “I know, I made sure it would be. I’m only teasing… I’d like to draw it out, but you don’t really have the time, do you?”

“Not really.”

Celine sat herself back up. “I’m feeling quite refreshed now anyway, that was quite filling.”

“Good.”

I pulled my trousers back up and fastened my belt.

Then I opened up the part function. There was still no reply from the others. As much as I could understand why Lisa and Jules wanted me to stay in the guild and wait for them, I had to go to look.

With everything now back in place, I climbed off the bed and got to my feet. “Do you think you’re ready to go back outside? You’ll need to keep out of sight again.”

She nodded. “Yes master. I’ve recharged more than enough from that.”

“Great… I’m going to go across the hall and gather the others, then we’ll go and see what’s happened to everyone else. You should probably hide now.”

“Okay.”

With that Celine vanished.

I grabbed my gear and headed out of the room.

The corridor was quiet as stepped out. A quick glance up and down told me that there was no one else about. Across the hall Aetherin’s door was open.

Lucy was stood near the door and noticed me immediately. “Are you finished already?”

“Uh yeah… It was just an emergency top up.”

“Oh okay, is she okay now?”

“I think she’ll be fine for a while. Now I’m just worried about the others.”

Hearing us talking at the door got the attention of Aetherin and Ameri. They both stepped out into the corridor.

Aetherin glanced me over. “Well, you don’t look to drained. Have you restored yourself?”

“Not yet, I’ll take a potion before we leave.”

“You want to go back out there?”

I nodded. “Yes, I have to get in contact with the others.”

“You know it’s dangerous out there.”

“I know, but I’m hoping you’ll all come with me again.”

“Of course, we will.”

Ameri and Lucy were both nodding in agreement. All the girls had their gear ready, as if they already knew this would be happening before we said.

Ameri stepped forward. “We were talking while you were feeding Celine. We doubted that you would just want to sit here if you hadn’t heard back from the rest of the party.”

“No, I can’t.”

“And after what happened earlier, there’s no way we could just leave you to go and look by yourself… Well, even if nothing had happened, we’d still want to come.”

“Thank you.”

She tilted her head. “So, what’s the plan.”

“I think first we go and let Jules know we’re leaving again. She probably won’t like, but we should let her know what we’re doing.”

“Okay.”

“Then we should head out. I don’t want to risk us splitting up, I think we should all move together. So, we should probably head for Liz’s place first because it’s the closest. Then we’ll head to Beth’s and then make our way further down to Altria’s and Serin’s.”

“That sounds pretty sensible.”

“I was thinking about asking Celine to go ahead and check, but I don’t want to strain her anymore more than necessary.”

Aetherin placed a hand on my shoulder. “I think that’s the correct choice. You may need her to help you flee if it comes to it.”

“I’m not going to leave to others!”

“You know they would want you to.”

“That maybe be… If it comes to it, we’ll send Celine ahead and we’ll find a way to all leave together. I can still feed her again.”

“I don’t like that idea.”

“I won’t change my mind.”

She shook her head… “Ugh, well then, we should hurry and find the rest of the party.”

“We should.”

Without further discussion we went back downstairs.

The guild hall was in the same state as we left it. Jules was still working away at the desk, noticing us approach she looked up.

From the look on her face, she could already tell what we were coming to tell her.

She planted her hands down on the desk. “You’re going to look for them, aren’t you?”

“We are.”

“They’re all high ranking adventurers, They won’t need you to save them.”

“I know that, but anyone can end up in trouble… It isn’t like them to stay out of contact like this. I’m worried.”

“Theo…”

“I have to go. You don’t have to worry I have these three watching my back and one more friend out of sight. I’ll hardly be any safer here.”

“Lisa is going to flip out.”

“I know.”

“Well, I’ll try and break the news to her gently. If any of the others come here, I’ll send them to you.”

“Thanks Jules.”

She sighed. “Just stay safe.”

“I will.”

We left the desk and headed for the exit. Just as we were about to step through the door, a familiar face walked in.

“Rosa!”

“Theo, you’re here.”

“Yeah, but I was just leaving.”

“You’re going out there, why?”

“To find the others.”

“They aren’t here?”

“No.”

She stepped into my path. “Okay, then I’m coming with you.”
