Chapter 230: Crying Out Love in the Heart of the Lord's Castle
Having sex with Silvia, now that she could properly feel pleasure, was a truly fascinating experience.
Even a normal person wouldn't feel this much with such a large level gap between us.
In fact, even with Vanessa or Felicia, I had to use [Last Resort of Pride] just to get them to climax.
But Silvia had already climaxed several times before I even came.
It was as if she was feeling extreme pleasure just from being with me.
Someone with a much higher level than me was climaxing over and over.
With every thrust of my hips, I could feel my own level rising.
As it did, the pleasure I felt from Silvia also became a little less intense.
Of course, that's not to say she felt bad. In fact, you could say it felt even better. Even though our levels were now more aligned, the fact that she was an absolute masterpiece down there hadn't changed.
Whereas before, the pleasure had been so intense it was almost painful, it now felt like it had been adjusted to a perfect level where I could truly enjoy it.
However, now that things had reached this point, I started to wonder if I should really finish inside her.
Silvia's complexion had already improved noticeably.
She had already climaxed several times. I couldn't see her life force, so I couldn't be certain, but she was probably fully healed by now.
There was no longer any reason to continue having sex with Silvia.
Rationally speaking, anyway.
However, my little friend downstairs, which had been stimulated by such ridiculously intense pleasure and was now on the verge of erupting, would never forgive me for just pulling out.
Cum! Cum! Fucking cum! If you don't finish now, you're not a man!
It was as if my instincts, speaking from down below, were screaming at me. And yet, another voice whispered from a corner of my mind.
No, but... we don't need to do this anymore. Wouldn't continuing be a betrayal of the other three?
You've already fucked her this much, what's this bullshit now? A stray dog would have better judgment! And what is the right judgment? To finish inside her, obviously!
In the end, the battle between reason and instinct was won by instinct.
I slammed my hips forward, my lower abdomen striking her mound, and ejaculated.
“Hnnngh!”
And though I hadn't activated [Last Resort of Pride], Silvia climaxed in sync with my release, feeling a pleasure greater than anything she'd felt before.
Her back arched like a bow, lifting off the floor, and her legs clamped tightly around my waist. The sight of her trembling uncontrollably was, as always, breathtakingly beautiful.
“Haah, haah... W-was it good for you?”
The fact that she worried about my pleasure first was just perfect.
If I just teach her a few things about how to move her hips, she'd be absolutely perfect... No. What am I thinking?
“Never mind me. More importantly, how is your body?”
“Th-that... i-it felt good.”
“No, that's not what I'm asking. Don't you remember? You were injured. I'm asking if you still hurt anywhere.”
Of course, I was also curious as to why she had suddenly become so sensitive, but her condition was the first thing I needed to confirm.
That's why I hadn't pulled out yet.
Depending on her answer, I'd decide whether or not to keep using [Healing Sex].
“Huh? Ah, th-that reminds me... Are the others safe?!”
“Yes. Thanks to you. I'm really grateful.”
It seemed she hadn't forgotten, just that she'd been so lost in the moment with me that it had slipped her mind.
The moment she remembered what happened before she passed out, she immediately asked about the others. This girl is really something else.
“N-no, not at all. It was your request, Guwon.”
Is she saying she'd risk her life for any request I make?
Is she really someone who only wants physical pleasure from me? Talking with her like this, I might start deluding myself into thinking she has feelings for me, too.
“So, how is your body? Are you okay?”
“Yes. I'm perfectly fine.”
“I see.”
The moment I heard her answer, I unwrapped her legs from my waist and pulled out.
“Ah...”
As I pulled away, Silvia let out a disappointed sigh.
“Don't make that face. This was just for your treatment.”
“Treatment... you say?”
“That's right. I have a skill that allows me to heal my partner during sex.”
“...I see.”
Her face was openly disappointed.
Well, she did wake up from fainting to find me having sex with her.
From her perspective, it was only natural to have certain expectations.
This is making me feel bad for no reason.
“By the way, there's something I'm curious about.”
“...Yes. Please ask.”
“How were you able to feel so much earlier?”
“...Huh? What do you mean?”
Silvia, who had been looking sullen, tilted her head, confused by my question.
“I mean exactly what I said. How did you feel it?”
“Well, because it was with you, Guwon...”
“But I didn't use any skills.”
“What?!”
Silvia looked completely shocked.
It seemed Silvia herself didn't know how she'd been able to feel so much.
Honestly, my interest was piqued as well.
A part of me wanted to take her along and investigate this properly, but I knew I couldn't do that.
Unless I was prepared to truly help her, it was better to drop my curiosity here.
“Anyway, since you're all better, let's get cleaned up and head out.”
I took a wet towel from my inventory and handed it to Silvia, then straightened my own clothes and stepped outside.
“It's done.”
I stepped out of the tent while Silvia was still getting dressed, and the three girls who had been waiting anxiously outside immediately rushed over to me.
It seemed they had finished harvesting the magic stones while I was busy; a mountain of stones and other items was piled in a corner of the chamber.
We'll make a killing if we sell all that.
“Guwon!”
“Is it all over?”
“G-good work. Um... is Silvia okay?”
Even though I clearly looked like I'd just finished, they deliberately avoided mentioning it and asked about Silvia first. They really are angels.
“She's fine. I healed her completely.”
“I-I see. That's a relief.”
“For a moment there, I was really worried.”
“Indeed. Now we can finally relax.”
But 'healing her completely' implied that Silvia had climaxed several times.
Because of this, their expressions became a little complicated, but the relief was still more prominent.
“Seriously. I honestly thought we'd be safe on the 2nd Floor at our level, even if our job levels are a bit low. What a mess.”
I said it casually, thinking there was no need to make them worry any more about the situation with Silvia.
“Hmm. About that. In my opinion, this place doesn't seem to be the 2nd Floor.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“The first monsters we encountered were certainly on the level of the 2nd Floor, but didn't they get stronger the deeper we went? Those monsters were clearly beyond the 2nd Floor's level. And that Queen Ant at the end... she seemed far stronger than the Layer Boss of the 2nd Floor.”
“So you're saying we entered the 3rd Floor without even realizing it?”
“No, that's not it. The climate on the 3rd Floor is completely different. The change is even more drastic than the one between the 1st and 2nd Floors. Besides, while the monsters were definitely stronger than those on the 2nd Floor, they were a bit too weak to be from the 3rd. If I had to classify it, I'd call this the 2.5th Floor.”
I see. Her explanation was convincing.
This place did feel like a dungeon within a dungeon. And in places like that, the monsters are always stronger, right?
Then maybe, just like in a game, there's some kind of reward here? You usually get something for beating a dungeon boss, right?
But it was too late in the day to explore any further.
We'd already cleared the area out, anyway.
We can continue exploring tomorrow, so it's probably best we get some sleep for tonight.
“Anyway, let's pick up the search tomorrow. For tonight, let's make camp here.”
It was too late to return to town.
I took out a few more tents, we set up a watch schedule, and we camped out for the first time in a while.
The next morning, after a light meal, we prepared to resume our exploration.
For the record, I glanced over at Silvia as I pulled hot food from my inventory, but she didn't look the least bit impressed.
She just blushed when our eyes met.
As expected of a noble lady. She's probably used to things like Spatial Pouches.
Anyway, we headed for the spot where the Queen Ant had burst out.
Beyond the collapsed wall was a space that radiated the unmistakable atmosphere of a boss room.
Broken eggs were scattered across the vast chamber, and embedded in the far wall, a massive magic stone pulsed with a brilliant light.
“Whoa. What the hell is that? How can a magic stone be so huge?”
The magic stone was even bigger than I was.
If I could sell just that one stone, wouldn't I be set for life?
“Hmm?”
But Diana tilted her head, looking as if something was off.
“What's wrong? See a problem?”
“I can't feel any mana from the magic stone. But for it to be shining so brightly... Hold on a moment. Whoa!”
Her curiosity as a mage piqued, Diana rushed toward the stone, but she stepped on a broken eggshell and nearly slipped.
Of course, I managed to catch her just in time.
As if I'd let our beautiful Archmage get a single scratch on her.
“Whoops. Be careful. The floor's a mess here.”
“U-uhm. Right. Then give me a piggyback!”
Look at how shameless she is. This is a perfect example of 'no good deed goes unpunished.'
“...Huh? Hey, I just helped you...”
“Have you forgotten? We made a promise that you would carry me whenever I wished.”
Come to think of it, we did.
She's got a great memory. I'd completely forgotten about that.
“Sigh. Fine. Hop on.”
“You seem dissatisfied?”
“Not at all. How could I be? This way, I get to enjoy myself, too.”
As I said that, I lifted Diana onto my back, reached around, and gave her cute bottom a gentle pat.
“Eek! Wh-what do you think you're doing in a place like this!”
“Hmm? Feels a little... wet.”
“That's impossible! Now hurry up and get to the magic stone!”
Diana lightly tapped my head a few times and shouted, pointing at the stone.
Alright, alright. I wasn't planning on actually getting you worked up here anyway.
As I carried Diana closer to the magic stone, her expression turned serious again, and she began to observe it.
All while still on my back.
Not that I minded, though.
Feeling her soft thighs through her robe, I felt like I was the one getting the better deal.
Anyway, this thing is massive. If I could take it back with me, would I ever have to work again?
No, maybe not. A normal person might be set for life, but my lifespan was infinite now.
“So?”
“Hmm... It's bizarre. The magic stone is right here in front of me, yet I can't feel any trace of mana. I don't think I'll be able to identify it with just a quick look.”
“Really? Then let's just take it. We can study it properly back at the mansion.”
“Hmm. No, I don't think that's possible either. I have a feeling this magic stone is one of the cores that make up the dungeon itself. I can't be certain since there's no mana, but its placement here suggests as much.”
“In other words?”
“It means that if we try to forcibly remove this stone from the wall, this entire chamber might collapse on top of us.”
What the hell? Isn't there supposed to be a reward in the final room of a dungeon? A trap, right to the very end.
If I'd come here alone, without Diana, I definitely would've tried to pull it out and gotten myself buried alive.
“Hmm. We won't learn anything more by staring at it. Let's leave it be and search the surrounding area.”
“Alright. Then get down...”
“Do you have some complaint about me staying on your back?”
“No, of course not. I could carry you for the rest of my life, Diana.”
“H-hmph. Of course you could.”
As she said that, Diana gently stroked my head.
Maybe she just wants to stay on my back because it's the perfect height for patting my head?
Normally she's so short she has to stand on her tiptoes and stretch just to reach my head, so she can't even pat it properly unless I bend over.
“Hey, Diana! No fair!”
But Sara wasn't about to just stand by and watch the two of us have all the fun.
As if the only reason she'd been quiet before was the messy floor and the pretext of examining the magic stone, Sara now clung to my arm.
“That's right, Guwon. Please pay a little more attention to us, too.”
“Heh heh. Of course.”
My angel gently hugged my other arm, her voice tinged with a cute coyness.
My angel is beautiful even when she talks like this.
“Hey, you! What are you grinning so foolishly for!”
I can't help it.
When my angel acts like this, any creature called a man would react the same way.
As we all joked around, Silvia watched from a distance, her eyes filled with envy.
