Chapter 11. Our Old Friend Has Returned (Not At the Most Awkward Time Possible)

Chapter 11: 11. Our Old Friend Has Returned (Not At the Most Awkward Time Possible)

I grabbed her hips with my own nails, my fingers bruising her flesh as I delivered three final, devastatingly deep thrusts that felt like they might shatter her pelvis.

PLAAAPPP! PLAAAPPP! PLAAAAAPPPPPPP!

Then, I unleashed it.

"GRAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!" I let out a scream that happened at the same time with my cock bursting out all the fucking seeds.

SPLUUUUUUUUURRRRTTTTTTTTTTTT~! SPLUUURRRTT! SPLUUUURRRRTTTTTTTT!!!

It felt like my entire life force was being pumped through my cock in violent, hot jets. I buried myself to the hilt, grinding my pelvis against her ass as I discharged a massive, endless torrent of semen directly into her womb.

The volume was an obscene flood that seemed impossible for any mortal body to contain.

SPLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRTTTT~!

"NNGGGHHHNNN--AAAAAAHHHHHNNNNNNN~!!!" Elsbeth shrieked, her body arching so hard I heard her spine pop audibly with a wet, grinding sound that made my own blood run cold, but the pleasure kept me anchored.

Her entire body went rigid, every muscle locking up in a terminal climax that left her paralyzed.

I held her there, pinned to the freezing ground, my chest heaving against her back as the last of the cum pumped out of me in slow, thick pulses.

We stayed like that for what felt like an eternity, like two broken creatures breathing in the wreckage of each other.

When the tremors finally began to subside, I slowly, reluctantly pulled myself out of her. "Ahhh... shit... that was some good fucking shit right there..."

Squelch.

The sound of my cock sliding out of her soaked cunt was obscene in the silence of the shelter. I slumped forward... feeling exhausted, but holy shit... my cock is still standing thick and angry despite the release, dripping with a mixture of blood, sweat, and cum.

I looked down at her, expecting her to be unconscious. But as she lay there, panting, the aftermath began to take shape.

Because I had filled her so completely, her body couldn’t hold it all. Her pussy was literally bursting open.

A thick, creamy river of my semen began to gush out of her clit, mixed with a fresh eruption of her own arousal she was still squirting from the aftershocks of her climax.

SQUEELCCHHH.. SSSHHHHHHHH...

’That’s so fucking hot...’

The white fluid and clear juices flooded out of her, pooling beneath her hips and mixing with the blood on the floor, creating a grotesque, beautiful mess that spread across the wooden planks.

"Fuck..." I whispered, my voice barely audible over the wind. "You really are... something else."

Elsbeth couldn’t even speak. She could only lie there, her chest rising and falling in shallow pants, her tail twitching weakly in the puddle of our combined fluids.

She looked wrecked, broken, and utterly claimed. The hunter had been caught, and the prey had been thoroughly consumed.

...

And soooooo... I’m not going to tell you what happened next. Some things a man keeps to himself, even a shameless bastard like me, and honestly... I don’t think I could do it justice anyway.

All I’ll say is that she was warm, careful, and a lot more patient than I deserved... Well, uh... Somewhere in the middle of it, she laughed at something stupid I said, and it was the first time anyone in this world had laughed because of me.

It felt better than any reward. And yes... we did it more than one... probably five... or maybe more than that. Who knows?

Afterward, we lay there in the quiet, wrapped in her fur-lined coat, listening to the storm. I felt her breathing slow, and I realized that for the first time since I woke up in this world... I wasn’t freezing.

Ding!

[Predator’s Instinct: Sharpens danger perception, reads opponent movements, and exposes weaknesses in a defense.]

[Apex Physique: Enhances the body, reflexes, endurance, and recovery far beyond human limits.]

I stared at the options for a long time... and holy shit... all of them are fucking useful for a starter like me.

And then next to me, Elsbeth had gone quiet, though I could tell she wasn’t asleep. She was watching me read, and I could feel her curiosity radiating off her like heat, especially with the way her tail waggled around.

The ice power was tempting, I’ll admit that... especially in this freezing situation. And I mean, who doesn’t want to shoot freezing spikes out of their hands?!

But I’d just spent the worst day of my life being thrown across a ravine by a bear made of ice, and one thing had become painfully clear... A magic sword doesn’t do a damn thing if your arms are too weak to hold it, and no amount of cool powers would help if I got hit by a single paw.

There’s only one logical power that’s going to help me become the strongest main character there is, and that’s...

"Apex Physique," I said out loud.

[Selection confirmed.]

SWOOOOSSSHHHHHH!

The warmth hit me like a wave. It started in my chest and spread outward, flooding down my arms and legs like hot water through a pipe.

My muscles tightened and swelled, my lungs opened up, and the pain from my bruised ribs melted away as if it had never been there.

"Nrrgghh... gaahhhh!" I gasped, sat up, and flexed my fingers, which didn’t shake for once.

"Holy shit," I whispered.

I scrambled to my feet, grabbed the rusty sword, and swung it in a slow arc. And now it’s different than what I experienced before because now... It felt like a stick.

I walked to the corner of the shelter, where a giant boulder had been sitting since we arrived, and wrapped my hands around the bottom. "Gotta make sure to break through the limits!"

I gave it a careful lift. "Nggghhh!"

It rose off the ground without any effort at all.

"HOLY FUCKING SHIT!"

I hoisted it over my head, and I may have done a little dance just to prove my dominance. And the boulder was easily three hundred pounds, and I held it like a fucking pillow.

"Must you shout every time you discover something obvious?" Elsbeth asked dryly, propping herself up on one elbow.

"I spent my first day in this world losing my shits against a rabbit," I told her. "So please... let me enjoy this, especially all of this new power... I get it through fucking you."

For the first time since I’d met her, Elsbeth laughed out loud. It was a low, warm sound, rougher than I expected, and she quickly clapped a hand over her mouth like she was embarrassed.

That’s fucking adorable, not gonna lie...

I grinned like an idiot, because I was an idiot, and I was holding a giant rock.

[Apex Physique has been permanently acquired.]

[Notice: Further growth requires additional requirements and development.]

[Notice: Lust Energy restored back to 100/100.]

[Passive decay will resume over time.]

"Of course," I muttered, setting the boulder down. "Of course there’s a catch... There’s always a FUCKING catch."

We didn’t get long to enjoy it. Barely an hour had passed when the ground began to shake, and a deep, furious roar echoed through the pines.

RAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

"THE FUCK WAS THAT?!"

"That... would be our old friend," Elsbeth said, already reaching for her sword.

I peered outside, and sure enough, a huge, hulking shape was crashing through the trees toward us. The Behemoth had found the trail again, and it did not look happy.

Also... thank god it didn’t find us when we were fucking because again... that would be the most awkward moment in a fantasy world.

Anyway, from what I see right now... the wound on its shoulder was still bleeding, a dark line against its frosted fur.

Elsbeth tried to stand, and I put a hand on her shoulder. Seems like her legs are still weak... my fault, by the way... I fucked her too hard.

"You’re still hurt," I said. "Let me handle this myself... again."

"Leon... You have been strong for an hour."

"I’m aware... But I’ve been scared for a lot longer than that, so I think I’m more experienced right now." I picked up the sword... and yes... It felt good in my hands, balanced and solid. "Besides, I want to see how good this thing really is."

She hesitated, and I could see the argument playing out behind her eyes. Then she gave a short nod and stepped back, her hand still resting on her hilt.

It was the closest thing to trust I’d seen from her yet. But she probably already trusted me to its fullest just because she’s letting me hit.

And so... with my new power and new responsibility, I walked out into the snow.

The Behemoth charged right away because he noticed an old friend like me. I’d like to say I met it with grace and confidence, but what actually happened was that I panicked, jumped sideways, and discovered that my body moved a lot faster than my brain expected.

I cleared the creature’s paw by what felt like a mile, landed in a clumsy roll, and came up on my feet with snow in my mouth.

"Okay," I said, spitting. "Sheeesh... that was useful."

It swung again, and this time I ducked under the blow and slashed at its leg. The sword bounced off the frost armor with a shriek of metal on ice, and I stumbled back with my hand tingling.

Its hide was a lot harder than I’d thought.

Think, you idiot! Think!
