Chapter 167: No Time to Explain!

"Hey, hey. You two... calm down, will you? Kairon, I didn’t agree to fight or anything. Can’t you see the situation here?"

Was he an idiot?

Even if they were stronger and higher level than Soren, they were from the same academy, for fuck’s sake.

He agreed to an escort mission, not a fight.

Not with Soren anyway, as he had a gut feeling that nothing would go right if he offended someone like him.

That level 60 beast as a pet alone signaled that Soren was not someone to be taken lightly.

"Oh... it seems your friend has a different thought? So... what are you going to do now?"

Soren was a bit surprised by Leon’s words and glanced at Kairon, faintly amused.

He could already see the dark look in Kairon’s eyes, his gaze turning sharp with clear irritation.

’Damn it, Leon. Can’t you at least help me for once? This stupid, greedy bastard.’

Kairon was seething in rage inside as he clutched his staff tightly, his knuckles turning white.

He was just trying to put pressure on Soren, but Leon had to directly defy him like this.

Couldn’t he just act for a while, so that Soren would know his worth?

When he groveled before him without shame, Sylvia would finally know the worth of this boy.

’A mere B-rank Archer...’

Kairon had never felt so defeated by his class like today.

Since he was a healer, he couldn’t really do anything to Soren, at least not with that lizard on his shoulder.

If he were a combat class...

’Should I use an artifact?’

The more time passed, the angrier he got as he considered using one of the artifacts given to him by his brother, when Soren spoke again.

"Okay, let’s not waste too much time. As I said, I’m perfectly fine letting things end here."

Soren paused and looked at both of them.

"Just... as a senior, I expect you to act with a bit more sense. Threatening your junior just because you got rejected by a girl doesn’t look good, does it?"

"You..."

"Okay, we are leaving. Sylvia, Aria, let’s go."

Soren didn’t give Kairon time to show his impotent rage. He just ignored them both, hugged both girls with his arms, and whispered internally,

’Teleport!’

*Swish!*

In an instant, Soren vanished from his position along with Sylvia, Aria, and his beast companion Frost, leaving both Kairon and Leon stunned.

’Teleportation! Damn... he can use even that?’

Their disappearance was so absurd that Leon cursed internally, instantly jealous. Now he felt that he had made the right choice by not offending Soren.

Who knew what other trump card he had up his sleeve?

"No wonder he was so relaxed."

While Leon breathed a sigh of relief, Kairon, on the other hand, was furious.

Unlike him, he thought Soren dared to go against them without fear, all because of that ability.

Now it made perfect sense, after all, it was very hard for a hunter to stop someone from teleporting.

"But if you think you are invincible just because of that..."

Kairon mumbled, looking at Soren’s original position with dark eyes.

Clearly, his obsession with Sylvia was only getting more intense, and to get her, he had decided to get rid of that guy first.

Even if...

’I have to ask my brother for help.’

’Guess I’ll never get into Paragon Guild.’

While Kairon made up plans, Leon just sighed from behind him, dejected.

In the end, he left him all alone before swiftly disappearing into the forest.

This guy clearly had enough artifacts to look after himself anyway.

This mission was a total failure.

’Such bad luck!’

***

*Swoosh!*

"Hey, Soren... why did you use teleportation in front of them? Isn’t this... stupid?"

As soon as Soren appeared inside his tent, Sylvia pouted beside him and asked.

In fact, she wanted to stop him before, but he didn’t even let her speak.

"Soren, you shouldn’t have shown your cards to them like this. T-They are clearly after you."

Showing your ability to someone who was clearly hostile wasn’t a good decision. Even Aria knew this much as she showed her concern.

Her thought was the same as Sylvia’s.

"Don’t worry, I know what I am doing. I just rushed here because of some emergency."

Soren didn’t lie. If Aria and Sylvia could think this much, he could, too.

He just had to rush here because he got an urgent message from Elise.

<’Soren... Professor Ruther and Kael are leading students to the Demon Gate. Professor Lyra has managed to get the gate under control. She says she needs help to close it.’>

This was the message he got from Elise just now.

To be honest, when he heard the news, he was completely caught off guard. After all, how could Lyra get the Demon Gate under control so easily?

Wasn’t Knight behind this incident?

In the original game, it took so many fights and even the help of an Elven senior to deal with him.

But now...

’Isn’t the plot diverging too fast? Was it even a good decision to give that Compass to Lyssandra?’

Soren couldn’t help but wonder while walking out of his tent.

Of course, this wasn’t the sole reason why he rushed over, risking showing off his teleportation ability.

The main reason he hurried was because of Professor Ruther.

’That bastard might do something if he gets the chance. I can’t let them be alone.’

In the game, this incident was supposed to bring the death of Ruther, who went crazy due to demonic possession.

In fact, Ruther didn’t know that Knight was already planning on sacrificing him to bring chaos to this camp.

Fortunately, he would be caught in time by Evan and Lyra.

Then, in anger, Lyra would directly slice him in half using her skill,

Reality Render

, getting rid of him.

But now the plot was heading in a direction Soren didn’t know of. He didn’t even know whether Ruther was possessed already or still sane.

Maybe he would go crazy once he was near the Demon Gate, who knew?

Soren needed to be extra careful.

At least, he had to give a hint to Professor Lyra somehow while making sure his girls would avoid him.

"Emergency? What kind of emergency?"

Sylvia didn’t realize the situation and asked, but saw Soren directly ignore her and open his beautiful

Crimson Wing

instead.

"H-Hey, what are you doing?"

Then, to her surprise, he once again grabbed her and Aria’s waist, as if ready to fly.

"W-Wait... S-Soren..."

Unfortunately, she was too late to stop him. Before she could react, she was already high above the sky, flying.

Only... she was flying with no panties on.

"Damn it... Soren, let me down, idiot. I don’t have anything below, don’t you know?"

She was wearing a skirt and nothing underneath while flying high up.

Wouldn’t that expose her to everyone below?

For a moment, her face went completely red in shame, while she smacked the shit out of Soren’s head in anger, her eyes moist.

Seeing that he didn’t stop, she was even about to bite him, when Soren laughed,

"Haha, hey, just use that artifact I gave you. It should be able to change its shape and cover you up."

Soren couldn’t help but roll his eyes at Sylvia.

Veil of Dripping Sin

was a highly controllable garment-type artifact after all. It could perfectly change its shape in any way you wanted once attached.

Even if she didn’t have any underwear, making one wasn’t that hard.

"Oh?"

Sure enough, Sylvia immediately tried what he said and felt her skirt extend on its own, forming shorts underneath in an instant.

’So convenient...’

Sylvia thought, finally feeling good, when she heard a muffled laugh.

"Pfftt..."

And who else could it be but Aria, who seemed to be mocking her stupidity.

Come to think of it, all this time, despite having the ability, she had been going around naked like that, hadn’t she?

All because Soren didn’t bother to help her.

"What are you laughing at, you slut? Did you finally come out of your orgasm?"

But who was Sylvia?

Would she take such an insult?

Of course not.

Instead, she directly cursed Aria, making her almost choke.

"S-Slut? H-Hey, who are you calling a slut. Don’t go too far."

Aria stuttered in shame.

She, of course, knew what Sylvia was referring to, but wasn’t she enjoying it too?

She was just a bit more sensitive than her, that’s all.

"Heh... I never knew an elf could be so shameless. You were clinging to him so openly before, and now you still have the guts to laugh at me?"

Sylvia sneered while lowering her gaze to Aria’s bosom, which showed ample cleavage.

Come to think of it, she did have a huge one there, didn’t she?

"S-Sylvia, can you stop it already? And I-I wasn’t the only one with him, was I? You were clearly..."

Aria was also angered and wanted to counter, but considering what Soren was doing with her, she didn’t know what to say.

She could only flush red, clinging to Soren’s shirt tightly, while biting her red lips.

"Tch... whatever, at least I was trying to stop this bastard, but you, on the other hand..."

Sylvia shook her head dramatically, delivering yet another blow to Aria.

Poor girl couldn’t even say anything in the end, as she glared at Sylvia when Soren intervened,

"Hey, why am I the bastard here?"

"Shut up!" *2

Well, it seemed he had intervened at the wrong time, as both of them glared at him angrily.

Wasn’t he the reason behind their shame all this time?

For a moment, Soren felt that he might get hacked to death in the sky.

Fortunately, he was already near the field where a large number of students were gathered.
