Chapter 83 - The Heat-Vulnerable Half-Elf
Hypno walked toward Jenid alongside the elf who had introduced herself as Wintineas, their footsteps thudding steadily on the path.
Of course, if Hypno wanted to, he could dash there in no time flat. But right now, he wanted to chat more with the insanely hot woman right in front of him.
Fucking her on the spot would be easy. But Wintineas was the kind of woman who made his dick twitch like crazy. Sure, her body was arousing enough on its own, but the contrast with her dazed demeanor and those sleepy eyes drew him in even more.
That's why Hypno wanted to see more of her natural reactions. The better he got to know the real her, the more thrilling it'd be to hypnotize and fuck her later. It was like the difference in a game between blindly using a pretty, high-performance character for fun versus fully immersing yourself after devouring every bit of backstory.
"So, Wintineas, what quest were you coming back from?"
"Boar wolf subjugation..."
"Boar wolf?"
"Wolves as big as wild boars... with long fangs..."
"Oh, I see."
"...Hypno? What about you?"
Even with her dazed, languid vibe, Wintineas didn't seem to mind chatting.
"I was taking down a wolfdog pack."
"Alone...?"
"Yeah. I'm confident in my skills. But in the end, I ended up needing your help, Wintineas."
"...You're skilled."
"You think so?"
"Yeah..."
Wintineas nodded as she spoke.
"Aside from the leader... there were tons of wolfdog corpses around. You... took them all out solo, right?"
"Yeah, that's right."
"E-rank, and you handled that many alone... impressive."
"Heh heh heh, thanks. You were amazing too, taking down the leader in one shot."
"...Thanks."
As they talked, Wintineas suddenly stopped and looked up at Hypno.
"Hey... why are you using formal speech?"
"Huh?"
"At first... you weren't."
"I was panicking back then, so casual slipped out. Besides, it's only natural to be polite to the person who saved my life."
"I see... Then..."
With her hair reaching about to her collarbone, Wintineas gazed up at him.
"You can drop it... I prefer casual."
"R-Really?"
"Yeah... And you can just call me Wintineas... no 'ssi'."
Hmm, is it her airheaded nature? Seems she's not fussy about titles.
"Alright, casual it is then, Wintineas."
"Yeah."
Seemingly satisfied that he'd switched, Wintineas nodded and asked another question.
"Hypno... you're a mage?"
"Huh? Yeah."
"I see... You look big and sturdy... thought you were a martial artist."
"Heh heh heh, I get that a lot. But these days, don't you think mages need to train their bodies too? Gotta have the stamina to run if your mana runs dry!"
"True... that."
Hypno kept chatting with Wintineas as they walked. Then he noticed something odd.
"Hmm?"
"What's... up?"
"Nah, no wind, sun's blazing, but it feels cool around here."
"That's... me."
"You?"
"Yeah. I'm... weak to heat. When it's this hot... I always make cold air with mana around me. Feels cold... huh?"
Wintineas, who claimed to be weak to heat. Hypno thought to himself as he watched her.
So that slutty outfit's because of the heat too? That's hilarious.
"Nah, it's nice and breezy actually."
"Good... But... sorry."
"Huh? Why apologize?"
"On the way... kept this up, then used boss-killing magic... ran out of mana."
The refreshing chill vanished right then.
"What now..."
Wintineas's shoulders slumped, her voice tinged with worry.
Hypno waved it off with a laugh.
"Heh heh heh, it's fine. This much heat is just a bit warm while walking."
"No... will you be okay...?"
"Huh?"
He didn't get it at first. But 20 minutes later, Hypno understood what she meant.
"Ughhhh..."
Twenty minutes later, Wintineas collapsed face-down on the ground, unable to move an inch.
"So... hot..."
Hypno blurted out exactly what he was thinking.
"There's a limit to how pathetic you can be with heat..."
"Sorry..."
"Ah, sorry."
Wintineas's weakness to heat exceeded Hypno's wildest imagination.
Five minutes after mana cutoff.
"Haa... haa..."
She panted like she was exhausted.
Ten minutes after.
"Ughhh..."
Sweat poured from her entire body.
Fifteen minutes after.
"Hot... so hot..."
She staggered, barely able to stand.
Twenty minutes after—now.
She lay sprawled on the ground.
Hypno could've made water and doused her anytime. But he wanted to savor the sight of her sweating buckets beside him. Especially how her white cloak clung transparently to her skin—it was perfect.
But...
"Ughhhh... hot..."
Seeing her collapsed like this, even Hypno felt a pang of guilt.
"Wanna head to the shade?"
Luckily, the forest continued, with trees casting shadows.
"Ungh..."
Whether from lack of energy or her usual drowsy tone, Wintineas accepted.
Hypno scooped her up princess-style to move her.
Whoa, damn.
Up close now, holding Wintineas, he drank in her details. Her flushed face, hair plastered to her cheeks as she breathed heavily. Sweat drenched her body, trickling down her leotard in a way that screamed sex. Her long side ponytail, not fully soaked, felt silky and wet. Even through the cloak, her thighs were taut and bouncy—firmer and jigglier than any woman he'd fucked.
Blood rushed straight to his dick.
"Hot..."
"Just a sec."
Hypno hurried to the tree shade and propped her against the trunk.
With the shade easing the heat a bit, Wintineas murmured weakly.
"Tha... nks..."
"No biggie. You saved my life. But do you always get like this?"
"Normally... I control mana while walking... But today was extra hot..."
Extra hot? It's just pleasantly warm.
"Used a ton of mana in a rush... for the emergency."
"Emergency?"
"The wolfdog leader... was about to bite your throat..."
"Ah."
Hypno got it now. She'd been 10 meters away when she cast for him. In the sudden crisis, she'd poured everything into a faster, stronger spell without holding back.
She's this weak to heat, yet she blasted magic for me right away... Gotta repay that!
Not even sexually—Hypno was starting to genuinely like her.
She was suffering from the heat now. Helping with magic here might boost her affection, right?
Hypnosis is great, but building a real bond first is good too. Then hypnotizing a close friend for a fuck? The thrill and taboo crank up—best of both worlds!
Of course, fucking her was still the endgame for Hypno.
"Wintineas."
"Yeah..."
"If it's okay, want me to cool you down with some magic?"
Her drowsy eyes flickered wide at "cool down," then went blank again. The heat had slackened her facial muscles too.
"R-Really?"
"Yeah. Sorry I can't walk faster. Didn't know you'd be this weak to it..."
"No... it's me... ugh... being too weak. If you cool me... I'd be so grateful..."
"How? Water? Wind?"
Hypno offered options first.
"Ice...?"
"No."
Ice vibe in the pussy sounds fun, but my dick hasn't tasted her yet—pass.
"Then... wind, please..."
"Got it."
Hypno tuned his mana and blew wind through the orb.
"Wind."
Whoooosh...
A gentle, cool breeze—not too strong—hit Wintineas perfectly.
"Ahh..."
Her expression softened in relief. But...
"It's a bit warm wind... but way better. Thanks..."
This is a bit warm?
Hypno tested it on his finger.
Whish...
Not super cold, but plenty cool. She calls this warm? How bad is her heat tolerance? This has to mess with daily life.
Hypno worried about her condition.
"Do elves normally suck at heat this much?"
"No... just me... And I'm not an elf..."
"Not?"
"Pro'bly... half-elf?"
"Huh? Why the question?"
"Hoo... haa..."
Still panting slowly from the heat despite the wind, she explained.
"Mom and Dad are human... but I was born half-elf. Mom said... an ancestor who used ice magic... elf bloodline... probably manifested."
Like atavism.
"Normal elves don't... get this hot. Just me... weird... haa..."
"Splash some water? Your clothes'll soak."
"Already soaked from sweat... it's fine... do it..."
"Okay."
Hypno stopped the wind, moved the orb over her head, and poured like a mini waterfall.
Shaaa...
"Ahh... I can... live..."
Wintineas, who usually wrapped herself in chill. The water wasn't icy, but it refreshed her.
Hypno's eyes locked on her real-time soaking: hair fully plastered, water cascading over her plump, voluptuous curves.
Specifically, the valley of her massive tits, the mound of her pussy lips between her thighs, and the jiggle of those thighs—it was pure arousal fuel.
Fucking hot. Status window!
In the Magic Tab: NEW!
Ice Force: Generates and bestows the power of ice. Required Points: 20
With points to spare, Hypno acquired Ice Force and said to Wintineas,
"Wintineas."
"Yeah... what, Hypno?"
"I can make cold water from my finger. Thirsty? Wanna suck it and drink?"
Testing lightly with his finger first.
A normal woman might refuse. But despite the water, her heat-induced thirst lingered, and Wintineas nodded.
"Yeah... I'll drink."
