The Conquerors Path

Chapter 295-Another One

“No….no…no”

Olivia’s hands were shaking while her mind was completely in shambles, seeing Austin’s breath getting shorter and shorter, she felt her sanity leave her grip, second by second…..

It was then that she felt a cold breeze from within the cave, making her eyes peer into what lay ahead, and when she saw it her eyes shook,

“Impossible!”

A shout left her mouth she didn’t let it distract her as her body blurred arriving in front of the plant that had filled her gaze, it was a mix of red and gold with a single beautiful green fruit on it, Olivia didn’t hesitate as she ripped the fruit, as she did the plant it held withered away,

‘It’s real!’

Seeing the phenomenon Olivia understood that this situation wasn’t something born from her delusions, quickly she arrived back at Austin, her eyes now lit with the flame of hope, kneeling down she held up Austin’s body but he was unreactive, seeing it the light of determination flashed through Olivia’s eyes as she took a bite of the fruit and kissed Austin, pushing in what was in her mouth.

This was her first kiss, while Austin took all of her first in a way, he never kissed her and she never took the lead but now she did, she did something not because Austin said so, but because she wanted to, quickly she kept taking bites as she kept feeding it to Austin’s mouth, finally none of the fruit was left,

There was silence as Olivia kept Austin’s head on her lap, with her back to the wall of the cave, with loving movements she kept patting Austin’s hair, while deep in her heart she kept praying,

‘Please, let this be real, please let the fruit be real’

This mantra filled her heart and soon the next moment Austin’s body started to light up in a mix of gold and red, seeing it relief filled Olivia’s eyes, soon the light burned out from Austin as it wrapped around him, the light lasted for a few minutes before it faded away, leaving behind Austin who looked completely healed and fine,

“So this is the power of the rebirth fruit?”

A small mutter left Olivia’s mouth, as she gazed at Austin with a hint of awe, the fruit of rebirth, something said to give a person a second life, literally, even if a person is at the end of his life, it will heal them but it was just the tip of its usefulness, one who eats it will be reborn with a talent 10 times better than before.

And that wasn’t all as the person who consumes it will receive a boost to his power, a person might go from origin level 3 to 9 or above, its a broken fruit that any person would go crazy to get their hands on, only legends of it were ever told but Olivia found it here? in a way she couldn’t believe her luck,

“Thank god you are okay…”

Olivia spoke with dry tears as she rubbed Austin’s face that had turned back to normal, she never thought that there would come a day where she would unhesitantly use a power that could make her stronger for someone else, here she was the next Empress dirtied not hurt, hiding in a small damp cave with another person.

Yet not a hint of disgust filled her heart, looking down, holding Austin’s face as he rested happily in her embrace somehow was healing for her, it was making her happy and fulfilled? she had never felt like this before, somehow nothing else mattered to her, for her only now, enjoying the sleeping face of Austin is all that was of any worth,

‘When did thins become like this?’

She wondered as she gazed at the rain that kept hitting the ground, a blanket came to her hand as she wrapped both her and Austin, pulling him closer to her, right now she didn’t want him to get cold, tightly hugging him she smiled, her memories being played like a record, her eyes darkened, while a crazy smile started to fill her face.

Moving forward she kissed Austin’s ears, while her shy whispers filled the cave,

“Didn’t you say that I am only yours~~”

She purred, believing that Austin was deep in his recovery sleep, her hands tightening around Austin in a possessive manner, a kiss being placed on his cheeks as her eyes darkened even further while her smile split her face,

“Then you are only mine, mine mine, master~”

+99,999 affection

With that, her body got drowsier as her eyes lids closed down but even then she didn’t let go of the hug, she had already made her decision and only time will tell what it might cause.

Austin POV:

‘Hey, system are you sure that I am not in some kind of alternate world of the game?’

[Nope you are in the ‘real’ game world]

‘Sigh…..’

That’s all I could do as I enjoyed being in Olivia’s embrace, my plan had worked out perfectly, though I had to put more effort than necessary, I mean why was the origin level 9 so weak? if it wasn’t for me lowering my defense to the maximum, his sword wouldn’t even be able to scratch my skin, as for the rest?

Well, I wasn’t even hurt once, thanks to me sealing Olivia’s mana at the right time and using some of the helpful skills from the system I was able to play the perfect role, leaving the origin level 9 alive was also in my plans, after all, how else am I to make Olivia run with me to a cave? even the rebirth fruit was the real deal.

As for where I got it? well, it was lying down everywhere, in the fairy realm, there’s not a single supreme natural treasure that you can’t find there, what else did you think Orpheus was feeding me for food? this and several other natural treasures were simply used to make sweets! one can say she’s the ultimate sugar mommy.

In the game, Leonardo will have his plot armor activated and they somehow escape with Leonardo getting a small injury, yeah just a small one, anyhow it’s from there that a journey will start between him and Olivia as they stealthy try to enter the capital city, facing several challenges and death threatening situations.

This slowly develops Olivia’s feelings for Leonardo but I have no time for all that shit, I have already made bigger plans for this arc, plans that could make me earn big bucks and get some sweet revenge for my family, plus I already have too many overprotective people around me, just my dragon girlfriend hearing about me getting hurt or missing might erase a country from this world,

‘Sigh…..mother do your best’

Right now I can only hope that everything goes well.
