Chapter 138: Kiss of death
"Haaa…"
Something between a sigh and a moan escaped from Fay's lips. And connected as deeply as my current intelligence and our bond allowed, the reason was pretty damn obvious.
The influx of power that overwhelmed me in an instant before, now only made Fay tense up a little.
'Right, with her stats, her limits should be far greater while the growth slower…?'
I wasn't exactly sure if I should expect Fay to display the same, linear level of growth as mine. She didn't have a system, after all, even if she partially benefited from it anyway.
Still, contrary to what happened to me when I shot for the first time, Fay merely twitched and moaned slightly,
"Easy, right?" I whispered, patting Fay's back. Then, I heaved a sigh.
I've got some explaining to do. But with so many ears around eager to hear every last word that would come, I couldn't exactly communicate with words.
So, I closed my eyes before tightening my hold over her soft body.
With all my mind, I focused on a set of different feelings.
The opportunity to thin out the numbers of attackers at a low if any cost.
The chance to gain a lot of strength.
The desire to keep Fay safe cuddled up in a set of pillows.
The regret of making her worry.
One by one, I focused my entire self on those emotions that annoyingly tugged on my soul.
And once I was done, I slowly pulled my eyelids open.
Fay calmed down in my arms, hugging me so tight that the heavy neugarand ended up suspended in air, squished between our bodies.
"Do you want to go again?"
This question, I asked out loud.
"Mhmm…" Fay sensibly murmured under her nose while gently swaying on her hips. She pulled her face off my neck, carrying a strangely warm yet upset look. One that hid the emotions that I could feel with all of myself through our bond.
And with it, came a realization. While for me, absorbing the power from the enemies I killed felt like… filling a jar. Now that my body was reborn through the flames of evolution, I was simply feeling the gaps.
For Fay, though, this sudden influx of energy…
Looking down, I stared into Fay's vividly blue eyes only to have her boldly look back, refusing to look away while her slight anger melted away from those beautiful eyes of hers.
Fay's bottom lip curled up, only for her teeth to gently bite into her soft lip as she lowered her gaze to my mouth.
"I see…" I whispered, patting Fay on her small, seemingly feeble back.
Then, I pulled out, even going as far as to unlock Fay's hold over my shoulders and push her away…
Only to remove the gun from between us before inviting her right back in.
"Meanie…" Fay protested silently while stealing a glance at my face while keeping her face low, going for the innocence of an upturned look.
"Come here already," with a smile, I overcame Fay's playful resistance and pulled her back to my chest. Feeling her soft, meaty breasts flatten against my chest, I raised the gun behind her back before leaning as much forward as I could.
By doing so, I inevitably pushed Fay down, locking her hips between my thighs and lower stomach.
With my bulge tightly pressed against the wetness of Fay's crotch, I took aim and pulled the trigger.
- Average attribute level of the kill: 8.2 Participation: 70%
- Average attribute level of the kill: 4 Participation: 70%
- Average attribute level of the kill: 4.3 Participation: 70%
The battle log swarmed with new entries again.
Judging from an extremely slight twitch of Fay's hips, the buckle of her soul… I could pretty much tell where the remaining thirty percent of the participation went.
"Can you handle it?" I asked, quickly reloading the lock before taking aim again.
With the pull of a trigger, new data registered in my battle log.
Four quick swings of my wrist later, again.
And again.
"Haaa…"
I took a short breath to let the barrel cool down. Using this moment as an opportunity, I also rushed to change the clip.
There were twenty bullets in the massive clip that went inside, and quite honestly, I've long lost track of how many shots I had left. So, while I couldn't really shoot without risking a rapid loss of extremely limited barrels, I took my time to remove the current mag, reload to clear the gun's lock, and then push in a new, freshly unsealed mag.
"Just a little longer," I muttered, giving the barrel a quick glance.
After so many kills, my affinity with a firearm grew quite a bit. And while I had nothing to compare it to, to judge the scale of my growth… I could tell the state of this extremely complicated piece of engineering at a single glance.
I wasn't smart enough to understand it. I felt the gun instead, sensing how the barrel was quickly reaching the optimal temperature.
"Fay?" I looked down as I asked, only to see her heavily pant while her body twitched, desperately clinging up to my chest. And through our bond, I could tell what was wrong with her.
"Do you want to stop?" I asked, looking down into her eyes glistering with tears.
Fay's hold over my neck tightened as she pulled herself up and closed my mouth with a kiss for a response.
Not expecting this display with how we were in full view of everyone on and around the hill, I twitched… and pulled the trigger.
And even though I only held the gun in the general direction of the camp, the flood of battle log entries appeared as usual.
The force of Fay's kiss intensified, and her tongue pressed heavily on mine. An intensity that adorably contrasted with how small her mouth was, how glib, sweet, and delicate her tongue felt when pressed against mine…
And in that very moment, amidst the usual clutter of just log entries, I saw a different type of message.
Desperate to hold myself back against this extremely bold and forward attack, I glanced away, eager to find out some raw data that could calm my excited brain.
Both of my potential step-parents were watching, after all! And I wasn't so sure Fay would be happy with the extent of the show we offered to everyone watching.
Desperate to calm down, I looked away… Only to freeze all over.
