Chapter 23 You Can’t Leave Me Hanging~
?Shaman pulled Elysia into a kiss shocking Elysia but she did not resist.
Their lips connected and Shaman was not wasting any time and invaded Elysia's mouth with her tongue. Elysia jumped a little at this as she did not expect her to be so bold but before anything got too serious Shaman pulled away and saliva was still connecting their lips.
Shaman had a massive grin as she saw Elysia's face pouting
"You can't leave me hanging like that, Now I am all hot and bothered." Elysia was ready to go further but Shaman stopped causing her to be a little frustrated.
"Hey, It took all my energy to do that, I can hardly move so even if I wanted to, I physically can't right now." Shaman wanted to continue but since her body was still being repaired it had taken a lot of energy for Shaman to pull the stunt.
"Fine, you win." Elysia could not argue because it was true and the last thing she wants to do is hurt Shaman. Shaman giggled a little, causing Elysia to blush and look away.
"Anyway my love, tell me how was your journey on saving your sleeping beauty." Shaman started to be a bit playful and started to tease Elysia as she knows she cannot do anything. Elysia's lips twitched a little as she knew Shaman was toying with her and made it harder for her to just jump on Shaman. After calming down a little she began recalling her time in the forest.
"Oh yeah, the bird that was in the cave just gave me the flower for free after I said I was saving a friend." Shaman was speechless as she could not believe that the bird Azar would be nice enough to just let her have it.
"I know right, even I was shocked but when it talked it just seemed like an old dude who is just bored." Although Azar was not old he was definitely bored.
"Well, at least you were safe." Shaman felt relieved that Elysia had not been thrown into a dire situation.
"Also what level are you now?" Shaman was curious as she thought Elysia would not pass up an opportunity to level up.
"Oh, I hit Level 25." Shaman's eyes widened as it was such quick growth.
"We can both evolve now." Shaman was excited as they would be able to progress side by side but then she remembered the system had stored levels so she still would be ahead of Elysia.
"Wait, we can evolve again." Elysia did not realize this as she thought she had a little further to go. They both opened their status windows to see what they needed.
[0/8 Tier 3 crystals]
or
[0/2 Tier 3 leader crystal]
(A/N: Beast cores and crystals are the same thing but is just an interchangeable word and are only referred to cores if it is a specific beasts) f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞l.c𝘰m
"seems like the same thing but just a higher tier and more of the crystal, If this keeps up we are going to have to kill a tier 10 beast to get to tier 10." Shaman now was sure of the pattern as all the evolutions required beast crystals so far.
"We could just buy the crystals, we do have over 100 gold." Elysia's idea was great but something was telling Shaman that it would not be so easy.
[You must obtain it through hunting, you cannot buy them]
"Tch" Elysia clicked her tongue.
"I expected that plus it's almost like a test to see if we are worthy of tier 3." Shaman had also thought it was an indirect way for the System to test them.
"I guess so but at least we can go out hunting together and I can also show you my new skill that I created." Elysia also wanted to show off her new unique skill. Shaman had risen an eyebrow as she was interested in this new skill.
"But I won't tell you till we head out hehe~" Elysia wanted to get her revenge on Shaman and tease her a little.
"haha fair enough well anyway could you carry me to the bath, my dear." Shaman also wanted to bathe as she has been in her own germs for 2 days.
"Sure thing." Elysia picked Shaman up in a princess carry causing Shaman to be a little embarrassed, although she asked for it she still did not expect the tables would have turned and she is the one being carried now.
'Damn why did I bathe, I could have joined her.' Elysia wanted to jump in but she had already bathed and did not feel right to go back in.
"Well, call me if you need anything."
"I can move a little more now so I should be fine." Shaman had finally regained some control over her body as her passive regeneration was helping in recover her strength.
Elysia exited the bathroom to prepare some food for Shaman.
"Hey system, can I allocate my points now." Shaman was waiting as she had 100 points to use and could not wait.
[Yes you can and it will help you recover your strength]
"Hell yeah, let's get allocating."
[Attributes]
Unspent: 100
Vitality: 35 -> 55
Agility: 55 -> 85+ 5
Intelligence: 85 -> 100
Strength: 50 -> 80
Dexterity: 40 +8
Defense: 30 -> 35
The same addicting feeling filled her veins as she could feel the strength in her body grow exponentially. Also, a system notification was heard.
[Due to the user reaching 100 INT memories of katana training are fully revealed and unlocked a new title]
[Katana master]
[You are the most proficient with the katana as your combat experience has made you one with the sword]
[User can stab the ground to create a domain where her attack will increase by 20% and allies by 10% (domain looks varies per person)]
[Current range: 30m]
Shaman's eyes widened as her head filled up with the memories of all the training she went through assimilating with her own and the skill she received made her speechless.
'I can't wait to show Elysia this.' Her new skill/title was perfect and I could not wait to use it. The memories the system referred to started to settle and created an indescribable feeling.
Holy shit, it feels like I went through that training myself. I can't put into words how it exactly feels. Seems like I won't have to go through any training anytime soon.' Shaman was happy as the combat experience she lacked had now been made up for and she won't be mindlessly swinging.
'It is strange. It feels like I am becoming one with that person although I don't know her life. I feel like we are merging in a way.' Shaman had noticed this as the things she was doing would not be possible if she was her old self.
'I guess I should be grateful as I would have just locked myself in a room.' Shaman had finished and was able to move around freely.
She exited the room just to be greeted with food.
'I am glad that I get to have a wonderful wife that can cook food.' Shaman had a content smile as she made her way to the table.
"Oh you can walk now" Elysia sounded slightly disappointed.
"Oh did you want to dry me off and clothe me as well and even maybe feed me?" Shaman had said this in a cheeky tone although in the back of her mind she kind of wanted Elysia to pamper her.
"n-no not at all." Elysia's face went red but then Shaman patted her head.
"Maybe another time." Shaman was not opposed to the idea so she did not want Elysia to back down from it.
Shaman, Wolfy and Elysia all sat down and ate.
"Is it just me or is Wolfy bigger?" Shaman finally noticed Wolfy after they ate and he had seemed to grow into the size of a small puppy.
"He did grow and he can't sit on our heads now, you should have seen the sad look in his eyes when he couldn't." Elysia giggled a little while patting Wolfy.
"Oh okay well I assume that is because he levelled up, I wonder what level he needs to be to evolve." Shaman was also curious as she did not know what the requirements to go to tier 5 were.
"Time will tell I guess." Elysia shrugged as there was no use in thinking about it.
"True but anyway I guess to more important topics, are you 100% sure you want to date me because I am pretty awkward." Shaman wanted to clarify with Elysia just as reassurance.
"Such a dumb question, of course, I would, I could never trade you for anyone else." After Elysia spoke these words a system message rang out.
[User Elysia has become Shamans lover, more benefits have been unlocked]
[Shared inventory space]
[new skill]
[Lovers call]
[no matter where you may be use this skill and teleport to the person's side, it will automatically be used if user is in danger]
[cooldown: 1 week]
Both Shaman and Elysia had looked at each other as what they had read was amazing and would make things really convenient.
"Well now looks like we get more inventory space and we get a free teleport every week, I just hope it never has to auto-activate." Shaman was very accepting of these rewards as it will help them a lot when it came to hunting and it also implied that if Elysia was across the world they could use the same inventory and deliver items in an instant.
"I think this calls for a little celebration~" Elysia had a suggestive grin and Shaman gave in.
"Oh fuck it come here." Shaman then pulled Elysia up and put her on the bed.
