Chapter 233

Neo stood before the group of women who served him, his decision already made. The task demanded exploration of the cave system near the volcano, and completing it would also give his women the kind of shared adventure they always seemed to crave. He looked them over one by one, then settled on Lin.

He put two fingers to his lips and whistled sharp and clear. Lin’s head snapped up. She hurried over at once, her heavy breasts bouncing with each step, her wide hips swaying. When she reached him she stopped short, eyes wide.

"Wait... you just called me first? Really?"

Neo nodded. "I did." He reached out and smacked her thick ass hard enough to make the flesh ripple. "I want a huge-ass gilf to explore a cave with me. What better choice is there?"

Lin grinned, turned slightly, and gave a quick, deliberate shake of her chest and hips so her massive tits and round ass jiggled for him. "I still got it, boy. So let’s go now."

Neo’s hand stayed on her rear, fingers sinking into the soft, firm meat as he guided her toward the dark mouth of the cave. They stepped inside together. The air turned cold the moment the light from outside faded. Neo raised his spear and fed pyro-holy mana into the tip. A steady white-gold flame bloomed, pushing the shadows back along the rough stone walls.

Lin pressed closer to his side, her shoulder brushing his arm. "Why is this place so cold? Isn’t this cave supposed to connect to a volcano?"

Neo had no answer. Geography had never been his strength. He simply kept walking, the spear lighting their path. The tunnel branched ahead into two identical openings. They stopped and looked at each other.

Lin pointed left. "Let’s go left."

Neo paused. He tried to push out his sensing skill, searching for danger or the best route. Nothing came. An invisible barrier seemed to sit just beyond his reach, smothering the skill before it could spread. He stood there longer than he liked, weighing the choice, then decided to trust her. They stepped into the left tunnel.

The floor vanished under their feet.

They dropped into blackness. A hard pull yanked them sideways, and the next moment they stood in a vast stone chamber lit by faint blue light. In the exact center floated a jewel the size of a fist, glowing the same deep blue as the red one locked inside the golden crown Neo already carried. His eyes widened. He sprinted forward and closed his fist around it.

His hand passed straight through. The jewel was only a hologram.

A deep voice rolled through the room. "You’ve been tricked."

Hidden doors slammed open along every wall. Orc girls poured out—tall, muscular, green-skinned warriors gripping massive battle-axes and heavy swords. They advanced in a slow, tightening ring.

Lin cursed under her breath. "My life as head maid was better than facing this kind of danger every day."

Neo shot her a hard glare. "Weren’t you a previous elder of the Nyx tribe? How are you not used to fighting?"

She sighed, rolled her shoulders, and lifted one open palm toward the nearest orc girl. Dark shackles burst from the stone floor, wrapped the warrior’s legs, and slammed her flat on her back. More chains shot upward, winding around her arms, torso, and neck until she could not move a single finger. Neo followed at once. He sent a rapid volley of the same dense shackles straight into the orc’s face, packing them tight over her mouth and nose until her breathing stopped. The body went still.

Lin pushed her chest out toward him, the heavy mounds lifting under her clothes. "See this?"

Neo grinned, reached over, and slapped her ass again. "It was good. But it took you almost three minutes to kill one, and there are hundreds more coming from every corner."

The ring of orc girls kept closing. Neo shut his eyes and forced his mana sense outward without relying on any system skill. The barrier still pressed against him, but he pushed harder, stretching the sense through the entire chamber and deeper still. Lin’s hand gripped his arm.

"Hey! The orc girls are getting closer. Snap out of your meditation and do something!" Her voice was tight with real fear. She clearly did not believe she could hold the whole pack alone.

At last Neo felt it—the true blue jewel, buried three miles straight down beneath the floor of the room. He opened his eyes, looked at the advancing orcs, and rose slowly into the air. A system skill unfolded in his mind: Multi-Targeting. He drew a thread of pyro mana, narrowed it into a razor-thin laser, and locked the skill onto every forehead in the chamber. The lasers fired as one. Bodies dropped in a single wave, axes and swords clattering to the stone.

Neo floated back down toward Lin. Her expression had gone dark. He turned to see why and found a new door standing open behind him. A massive dark-skinned orc stepped through, red irises glowing like coals. The club in his hands looked thick enough to smash a house. Strength level: twenty-two stars.

The orc’s gaze locked on Neo still hanging in the air. Before Neo could fully descend, the giant blurred forward, swung the club like a baseball bat, and put every ounce of force into the strike. The air itself cracked. A booming shockwave followed, a vortex of wind slamming outward. Neo flew across the chamber like a cannonball, smashed into the far wall, and dropped. He forced himself up at once when he saw the orc already turning toward Lin.

Neo drew a deep breath and entered Lord of the End mode. A thick film of Tbate energy coated his body. He shaped an EN sword in his grip, studied the gaps in the orc’s stance, and used Nara swordsmanship. The first swing of the club whistled past him. Neo slipped inside the reach, leapt onto the orc’s thick forearm, and sprinted up the massive arm and across the shoulder. At the neck he executed the Black Rose. The blade flashed once. The giant head tumbled free and hit the floor with a heavy thud.

Neo dropped to the ground, breathing hard. Nara swordsmanship had saved him. He told himself he needed to stop wasting time on ordinary women and start seeking out the strong, talented ones instead.

He walked to the center of the room and drove the EN sword into the stone floor. He dug until a sealed box came into view. A thin blue hologram thread rose from it—the same illusion that had floated above. The real jewel was inside. Neo tried to force the box open with raw strength and then with skills. Nothing worked. He studied the faces of the box until he finally spotted a narrow gap where the blue light leaked through. He activated Steal. The jewel vanished from the box and appeared in his palm. He stored it in his inventory at once, then climbed out of the hole.

He rose and found Lin waiting there.

Neo stepped in close, one hand sliding up to caress the side of her neck. He pushed her gently but firmly until she went down on her belly against the cool stone. He mounted her from behind, knees bracketing her wide hips. His cock was already hard, thick, and heavy. He lined it up against the tight ring of her ass and pushed in with one steady thrust.

Lin’s breath left her in a sharp, wet gasp. "Ahh—fuck, Neo—"

From Neo’s view the sight was pure heat. Her huge ass spread under his hands, the soft flesh dimpling where his fingers sank in. His muscled thighs flexed against the backs of her legs; his broad shoulders loomed over her as he leaned forward. Every thrust drove his cock deeper into that hot, gripping channel. He watched the way her body jolted, the heavy sway of her tits pressed flat against the floor, the way her back arched just enough to take him better. Sweat already sheened the curve of her spine. He gripped her hips harder and slammed in again, the wet slap of skin on skin echoing off the stone.

Lin’s side of it was different and just as intense. She felt the solid weight of him covering her, the thick heat of his cock stretching her open. When she glanced back over her shoulder she saw the hard lines of his body—the corded muscle in his arms braced on either side of her, the powerful legs driving each thrust, the broad chest and shoulders that made her feel small and claimed. Sweat ran down the ridges of his stomach. His face was set, focused, hungry. Every time he bottomed out she felt the pressure bloom deep inside, forcing soft, helpless sounds out of her throat.

"Unngh... yes... just like that—"

Neo kept thrusting, steady and deep, the tight heat of her ass working around him. The chamber was quiet now except for the wet sounds of their bodies and the low, dirty words that slipped between them.
