Another World Witch Training Manual

068. Rest

The former residence of the Water God.

Deep inside the cave.

The final, mournful sob echoed through the cave before abruptly ceasing.

A snake-man, half the height of a human, was torn in half at the waist by Xin Lai. Its internal organs and flesh fell to the ground with a splash, slowly spreading in the gently flowing shallow water, drifting into the deeper darkness.

Xin Lai casually tossed the mangled body aside, crimson blood dripping from her fingertips.

His chest rose and fell slightly, but his face showed no sign of fatigue.

Having fought so far, and been worn down by the Flowing Blade and a host of small monsters, he felt that every inch of his body was becoming stronger in the battle.

[Skills: Hyperdimensional Link lv.2, Mutual Appreciation lv.1... Master Thief lv.1, Blazing Slash lv.1]

Without even relying on Eve's power, he single-handedly cleared half of the dungeon and leveled up to lv.25.

Each upgrade would clear all negative statuses and restore all statuses, thus making Xin Lai more and more courageous in battle, with unstoppable momentum.

Xinlai twisted her neck and turned to look at Eve, who was following behind her.

She was bent over, supporting herself on her knees, panting heavily.

She had been running close behind Xinlai, casting spells as she ran, which had already exhausted all her strength.

She was barely hanging behind him, which was already pushing her body to its limits.

"Are you alright?" Xinlai reached out and tucked the sweat-dampened strands of hair from her forehead behind her ear, her tone filled with concern.

"Um……"

Eve was speechless for a moment. Her throat felt like it had been cut by a knife, and every breath brought intense pain, along with a faint smell of blood.

Seeing that she was not in good condition, Xinlai helped her to sit down by the wall.

Although they were now close to the deepest part of the old abode of the water god, there was still a very Cthulhu-esque octopus there, and without Eve's help, he was not entirely confident that he could take it down.

We can only wait for Eve to recover.

He leaned down and looked at her, noticing that her delicate face was slightly flushed from the strenuous exercise, and a few strands of hair clung messily to her cheeks, giving her a broken beauty.

"Is your magic stagnant...?" Xinlai gently grasped her wrist and probed it. "Do you need my help?"

Eve leaned against the stone wall, barely having the strength to speak, and could only nod very slightly.

Xinlai sat down beside her, gently turned her head to the side, and kissed her as if it were a routine matter.

The rich magic power quickly flowed into Xinlai's body, replenishing his previous consumption and sweeping away the magic power in Eve's body.

"call……"

A moment later, Xinlai moved his lips away and watched as Eve's body went limp and she fell into his arms.

Instead of pushing her away, he placed his hand on her back and patted her gently as if to comfort her.

"Well……"

Eve buried her head in Xinlai's arms, shy yet bold, subtly inhaling his scent.

Located underwater, the magic here is extremely concentrated, so even if Xinlai sweats, it will evaporate instantly, and there won't be any strange smell.

Xinlai gently stroked her hair with one hand and wrapped her other arm around her slender waist.

"Are you feeling better?"

"Um……"

Eve gave a muffled reply, her warm breath tickling the skin on the side of his neck.

"Is Miss Witch no longer afraid of me?" Xinlai asked jokingly.

Eve didn't answer immediately, but instead snuggled her head closer to his chest. Perhaps because her magic had just been drained, she felt a little cold and instinctively shrank back towards the source of warmth.

What do you think...?

She finally raised her head, her two purple eyes, filled with sincerity and love, fixed on Xinlai.

"I don't know," Xinlai said calmly. "I feel like you're trying to seduce me."

"?"

Eve paused for a moment, then puffed out her cheeks, pushed Xinlai away, moved to the side, crossed her arms, and turned her head away.

"abnormal."

Xinlai had no energy to refute her accusations anymore, so she sighed to herself and closed her eyes to rest.

You still need to rest for a while to allow your body to recover.

After all, we are still mortals, and we cannot take advantage of the fact that leveling up can restore our condition to the point of exhausting our resources.

The cave fell silent for a moment.

Only the floating blood and mangled corpses drifted slowly on the upper level, exuding an indescribable eeriness in the dim light.

Eve noticed that Xinlai had stopped moving, so she quietly turned her head and opened one eye to peek at him.

That bastard...

She then realized that Xinlai had never defined their relationship, yet she had still taken advantage of him in every way.

As expected, this is what happens when girls take the initiative...

"Are you spying on me again?"

Xinlai looked back into her jewel-like eyes, reached out her left hand, and pulled her into her arms despite her struggles.

"You, you, you!" Eve's cheeks flushed red, and she quickly tried to push him away. "Who was peeking at you? Let go..."

The little purple head was forcibly pressed into her arms, and no matter how much she struggled, it was to no avail.

She twisted and turned a couple more times, but found that she couldn't overpower Xinlai, so she simply stopped moving.

"You Asgardian royalty are all the same!" Eve grumbled in a spoiled tone, "You're all despicable womanizers!"

She grumbled softly, but there was no real anger in her voice; rather, it seemed as if she was testing Xinlai's thoughts.

"Is there?"

Xinlai tilted her head, pondering with a puzzled expression.

Aside from a passionate lovemaking session with Sylvie after arriving in Guna City, it seems he hasn't done anything else that is morally reprehensible.

"So how many do you think I should marry?"

Xinlai looked thoughtfully at Eve with great sincerity.

"you……"

Eve was so angry that she stopped talking and lowered her head, lost in thought.

a long time.

The two of them probably felt they had rested enough, so they continued to explore deeper into the area.

As you walk deeper into the enormous underground cavern, the stench in the air grows stronger, and even the stalactites above begin to drip disgusting slime.

"Would Bernis's manuscript be inside...?" Eve asked in a low voice, looking at the increasingly eerie surroundings.

"Yeah, probably."

Xinlai knew that thing was inside, guarded by a ten-meter-tall tentacle monster, but he didn't want to tell Eve, for fear that Eve would feel guilty.

In "Elegy of Asgard," the footnote to this ruin is that one or two thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Tanstin family, together with the Asgardian royal family, sealed away this tentacle monster called "Tide King."

In order to prevent bad guys from coming into contact with the tentacle monster, they decided to seal the ruins inside the Tanstin family.

However, as time passed, the seal of the Tide King weakened, and its eerie magic began to spread, infecting many aquatic creatures to become its followers, including the monsters that Xinlai had just killed.

Gradually, this led to the creation of the dungeons in "Asgard's Elegy".
