Chapter 141 – Finish her….? (18+)
Two shadows moved through the Black Market dungeon at breakneck speed yet unnoticed by anyone.
"How are you, captain?" Asked one of the shadows. "You threw a shitload of magic back there."
"I'll be fine, don't worry about me. Let's hurry. I still can't contact Gabby. She must be in trouble." Answered the captain. "The gate squads report is also worrisome. There is something wrong with the dungeon. The gates are unstable."
"If there is really someone who can force her out of shadow, then he is a troublesome opponent, but I doubt she can be easily outmatched in combat." Said the second woman
They jumped from shadow to shadow skipping through the dungeon in just a few minutes until they finally saw the place where the warehouse was supposed to be. Now it was just full of rubble. Not a single building in the vicinity was left standing.
And in the middle of that destruction, they saw a woman's body laying on the ground. Half her clothes were gone, most likely ripped in battle, but it was no doubt the same clothes all the shadow squad members wore.
When they saw the body their breathing stopped as they feared the worst, looking at the scene with trepidation
"Wait! Don't approach recklessly! There might be a trap." Said Captain as the second shadow flashed toward the laying on the ground body but seeing as her teammate did not listen rushed after her as well.
They crossed the space in seconds until they heard the woman's moan.
She was alive! In pain but still alive! They happily thought until they got closer to see her hands…or more like where they were.
Gabriella their team's third member, whom they left to watch the warehouse where their targets had been brought to before being moved to auction, reported to them that the targets returned to the warehouse on their own and that she was forced to engage in battle. But what the hell was she doing, lying on the ground full of dust and rubble, in ripped clothes that made her mostly naked below the waist, with her legs spread wide open, showing off her crotch for the whole world to see, while vigorously strumming her engorged pink clitor with her right hand and pinching her standing from excitement hard nipple with the other, with a silly idiotic, yet blissful expression on her face.
What the hell could happen to make her end up like that? Thought the two women coming out of the shadow and watching in shock and bewilderment as the woman, that had a dumb face with rolled up eyes and a wide open mouth with tongue lolling out of it limply, kept fingering her pussy with abandon.
She lay in the puddle of liquids from both: her mouth from which saliva streamed down her chin in rivers as she moaned loudly with heavy breaths; and from her soaking wet labia that kept spurting stream after stream of her pussy juices as she kept squirting over and over again, spitting jets of squirt from between her lower lips.
The strange situation stumped them for a few long moments before they jumped toward their friend, kneeling on the ground at her sides and picking her up, making an attempt to stop her, but as if this sudden company and their touches excited her even more, the woman shouted announcing her bliss loudly to the whole street while coming with the strongest orgasm yet, as the literal geyser exploded from between her legs, streaming for a few long seconds, before she finally stopped moving completely, her body softening in her teammate's hands, yet kept jerking every few moments from the aftershock of enormous orgasm she just went through.
The two women looked up from their mad teammate catching each other's gaze and seeing pure bewilderment in each other's eyes.
"What the hell was that, cap?" Asked the second shadow woman.
"I…I have no idea." Said the Captain. "She seems fine. I feel no status ailments or mind-influencing magic in her." She added as the shadows from her hands streamed over the limp woman's body and head.
"Damn. In that case, can I ask for the same experience she went through?" Said the shadow woman.
"This is not the time for this, Val!" Said the Captain, seeing an excited face on her teammate. "I'll get her to the shadows to recover."
"Wait, wait!" Said the second woman quickly.
"What? What's wrong?" Asked Captain
"Let her savor it. It may be her life's best orgasm." Said, Val with a smirk.
"Tsk.." Voiced, Captain with annoyance, and both she and the unconscious woman she held in hands sunk into shadow.
A moment later they reappeared in the same spot and position only the previously naked woman now was dressed and regained her consciousness.
"Vallery? Captain? What happened?"
"You tell me, Gabby! Because I'd kill to have what just happened to you." Said Vallery.
"For fucks sake, Val." Said Captain with annoyance. "Tell us what happened Gabby." She turned to look at the laying woman that had a questioning look on her face for a few moments before she seemed to regain her memories, as the crimson red color quickly rose up from her neck to her cheeks, flushing her face that now looked full of shame and she immediately closed her face with her hand in embracement.
"That fucking bastard! What the hell did he do to me?" She screamed aloud while covering her face.
"She looks, okay." Said Captain with relief.
"But I am not. Next time leave me to watch the warehouse." Muttered Vallery.
*****
As the shadow woman watched her targets get further away over Noah's shoulder, her gaze returned to him. Seeing the confident smile on the face of the man that stood between her and three running away women and stopping her from following after them, she felt strongly irritated. She would make him regret his overconfidence, she thought. But before that, she had to understand his ability that she was busily analyzing in the few bouts they went through.
Firstly he could produce a light that erased any shadow in his proximity and forced her to transfer to a nearby shadow before she was forced out of shadow, but its weakness was in him needing to point his hand in her direction. Cutting off his hand may be an answer to this problem.
Secondly, he could see her position even though she was inside the shadow dimension, which was preposterous. She never heard of anyone ever capable of it. However, she has found a loophole in this ability as well.
She did not know how it worked, but she noticed that if she did not look directly at him he would lose sight of her and would be less accurate in finding her exact position.
And third, he wasn't a very experienced fighter. Whether in close combat or distance attacks he was a novice compared to her, and yet in the most intense moments when she was about to strike him down, he would show a strange ability to make his moves extremely efficient and quick. From which she suspected that he could quicken his mind for a short period of time and do it better than her. Which was another preposterous ability as this kind of skill should have been possible only to high-level martial artists and this boy was clearly not a master fighter.
The fourth point of concern was his ability to produce black energy that would corrupt anything he touched or pointed at, which also very effectively compensates for his lack of fighting skill. This one was probably the most worrisome ability as she felt that this skill was not just bringing harm but quickly draining her mana and stamina, making even her ability to recover instantly inside the shadow realm sluggish, needing a longer time to recuperate. It also harmed her magic clothes made specifically for the shadow squad to withstand the hardest of magic spells
Moreover, she had not found any weakness in this skill other than to make sure to dodge it well.
After analyzing her opponent carefully she tried to make up a plan to bring him down quickly.
"User." Said Ugy's voice inside Noah's head. "There is something you seem to be forgetting." He added with concern in his voice.
Noah's face suddenly changed to questioning, surprising the shadow woman that was watching him attentively.
/What the? Is he conversing with someone?/ She thought as she watched how his expression changed a few times. /Damn it. Is there someone coming for his backup? I need to act quickly./
"Damn it! I forgot about it." Thought Noah, quickly glancing at the figures of three women that were almost gone from sight, before realizing his mistake and turning back to his opponent, but she was nowhere to be seen.
The shadow woman did not waste the chance, disappearing the instant she felt his distraction.
Surprised that he did not see her dot on his minimap, Noah quickly checked the "lock on" view that showed him an empty space instead of a panty-shot view of the shadow woman. While she was inside the shadow, his view only showed him the spot of the shadow where she currently was hiding and all he could see with it was his own figure when she passed him close to him. This allowed him to at least discern her approximate positions relative to his own.
Noah shot a flash of white light in the direction of the view he saw himself from on the screen, but she quickly transferred to another shadow. As he was trying to comprehend her new position relative to him, she transferred again, making him search for her new position. Then she transferred again and again, making multiple jumps from shadow to shadow with the shortest time between the jumps, confusing him as he pointed his hands in different directions slower than she jumped from space to space.
Noah swore in his mind. Not only she has learned to counter his minimap, but now she found a way to stall his aim at her with quick transfers from spot to spot.
But as she analyzed his abilities from scratch, Noah has already experienced fighting opponents with her ability. So while she wasted time comprehending his skills, he was busy leading her into a trap.
From the start of their fight, he was watchful of his surroundings and the way the shadows spread around him. As they fought inside the dungeon instead of in the open world, the shade would not change its place with time. Also, the rubble of the warehouse and the building he destroyed with his dark energy beams were illuminated with the shining crystals on the ceiling of the dungeon cave directly above, making the shadows of objects very short and in many places not connected with each other. Thanks to that he had many illuminated places that he could freely stand on without fearing that she would appear from underneath him as it happened back in the forest near Greenville town. Taking all that into consideration, Noah, guarding himself against her attack, slowly moved to stand in a deliberately chosen spot.
There were several shadows in front of him and at his sides, yet they were quite some distance from him and if she jumped out of them he was sure to react in time with Ugy's time-slowing ability, which she no doubt has learn of by now.
From his back, however, the shade was so close to him that if she were to appear there she would be able to slash him in a split second, making that approach the most preferable for a finishing blow.
He made it look like he was not aware of that and he looked around trying to comprehend her quick moves through shades around him, while evading and blocking the projectiles that flew at him from all directions, from within the shadows.
The throwing knives and shurikens she threw were imbued with sword qi that the warriors awakened at the higher levels, which made them razor sharp and extra durable. So even with his hands clad in dark energy that turned to ash everything he touched, he would lose his finger before the projectiles lost their edge.
Luckily he had a small shield he once borrowed from Theresa when he trained with puppet. With this, he could deflect the projectiles that he could not evade in time.
And while he struggled to protect himself he made sure to pay attention to another view screen that he had open in his mind. This view showed his own figure in the third-person perspective. Watching this screen he was looking at his own back as if standing slightly in front of his own view. What this screen gave him was not just a wider angle of the scene in front, but it also showed quite much of the ground from behind, allowing him to see that very shadow that was close to his back.
It took his plan a few very long moments to work. As his arms and legs were crisscrossed with wounds from the projectiles he could not fully block, Noah was almost sure that she was aware of his plan and almost gave up on the plan, when she finally took the bait. As he was plenty tired out she finally felt the time to finish him, suddenly appearing behind him, plunging her knife into his back. At this moment time went to almost stop.
In Noah's third-person perspective view the shadow person frozen in place was bare inches away from piercing him, yet too far away for that to happen, as the metal fist of battle puppet that has appeared from Noah's pocket right behind her even faster than she appeared from a shadow, smashed into her jaw from the side, with such a force it lifted her off the ground.
Just as the time began to accelerate Noah, noticed that the black cloth she wore over her face hardened instantly, taking on itself the most of the force of the puppet's punch. This would probably not put her down as he intended.
Noah swirled to the side, turning quickly around as the time returned to its normal speed and smashing his own fist into her gut, before pointing his other hand into her disoriented face and flashing her with white light straight in the eyes.
Before she could come together she felt herself being grabbed by the head as she felt a strange feeling spread through her mind. Something primordial and animalistic. Something that made her tremble with deep fear.
"You will not jump into the shadow!" Commanded a strong voice that made her insides quiver. She quickly came to herself, shaking off the confusion of the punch and bright light. Dispersing into the shadow was the best choice in that situation, yet…some kind of trepidation in her heart blocked her from disobeying his command, and for some reason instead of that she decided to struggle without relying on that ability.
Pushing off Noah's hand she quickly understood that there were now two enemies, as she evaded the kick of the puppet and parried another punch from Noah, going full on into close combat, in which Noah and the puppet that was still more accustomed to wolf's body than a bipedal human frame, were no match for her as well.
Even with their bigger frames and heavier complexions she, made the fight against them both seem effortless. However, Noah's degenerative touch that she could not fully block would still bring harm, so she had only the choice of relying on her magic-imbued special clothes.
It prevented the dark energy from harming her, but every touch would rip a hole in the cloth, so she made it a task to receive his every punch with a spot that was still intact. The task that went harder as the fight stretched.
Quick blows and punches flew around, parried and countered needing her full concentration. But after just a short few exchanges she found it harder and harder to concentrate on the fight as her thought gradually whirled off the fight, giving her funny ideas that normally had no place in her mind in the middle of the battle. Yet strangely she could not throw away the thought of how she looked in all these ripped clothes. How she was showing off her body to this male that gave her such a hard battle. It changed then to how hard were his muscles and slowly these thoughts changed to the ones where she imagined him ripping these clothes from her entirely.
At that moment she finally lost concentration making a mistake and her fist was flung too randomly allowing Noah to catch her hand. However, instead of trying to pull it away she just froze staring into his eyes. For a moment they just stood glaring into each other's eyes breathing heavily with perspiration, while the puppet strangely backed off without interfering with their staring contest.
Then Noah moved, pulling her toward himself, and instead of the punch that she expected, yet strangely made barely any move to block, she felt his hand pull down her face cloth before his lips were pressed onto her lips.
She struggled for a moment, unable to get free as her hand was still clenched in his palm, yet she herself noticed that it was just an excuse, and had she wanted it to stop she would have slipped out of his grip with ease. The reason she did not was the pure pleasure that she felt from this. His kiss burned through her lips, with heat plunging through her body straight to her lower lips, which were at this moment, as she finally noticed, so wet that her liquids streamed down the leg in rivulets.
She soon stopped struggling altogether bringing her free hand to grab his head from the back, pulling him toward herself as if afraid that he would try to stop. She wanted more. Needed it. Needed his kisses. Needed this burning pleasure.
At one point she noticed someone's loud moans and it took several moments to realize it was her own, as she pressed into him with her whole body, rubbing herself on that hard big thing pressing at her belly. She wanted it, wanted that thing inside her and she felt no embarrassment from showing it to him as she rubbed her hot, soaking wet pussy on his leg, slowly pleasuring her clit as she dry fucked his knee that he pushed between her legs.
Their fight entirely forgotten, she was released from his clutches, yet it was him now in hers, as she held to him with both hands as if afraid he would disappear if she were to release him.
Noah kissed her with abandon, as he filled his roaming hands with her soft yet firm with muscles ass, squeezing it in his palm, making her shudder with excitement. He finally felt the pressure to be too much, needing a quick release as he grabbed her pants and ripped the riddled with holes cloth from her lower parts of the body, which made her even more ecstatic as she now moaned into his mouth with animalistic need.
With his other hand that was rubbing her perky soft breast, he pinched her protruding through the cloth hard nipples making her lose her mind entirely as she screamed her pleasure.
"User." Suddenly sounded Ugy's voice, breaking Noah free from his reverie with the realization that he was slipping under his own lust skills influence downing onto him. "Don't forget what I just told you. Samantha and Kate must not leave the dungeon on their own." Added Ugy, fully awakening Noah's still muddled mind with the urgency of his voice.
Noah pushed the lust-filled shadow woman slightly away hearing her complaining moan.
"No please, I need it in me. I want it inside. Don't leave. Please finish it. Do it. Fuck me. Please." She mewled at him like a kitty with her melodious voice.
"No." Said Noah's commanding voice with the steel firmness, firing up mad craving deep inside her pussy like a blaze. "Finish yourself, alone. Show me how well you can finish on your own." Said Noah using his DOMINANCE skill once again and the woman trembled as if his voice spread through her body with waves, reverberating through the soul, before she obediently nodded with her eyes filled with need.
As she lay on the ground watching him straight in the eyes, she spread her legs wide open, letting him fully see her beautiful pink slit dripping with juices, and rubbed her finger over it, easily sliding them as they glided on her slippery lips. When she started to stroke her plump lower lips, her mind was overwhelmed with pleasure making her close her eyes moaning aloud.
"As much as I wish we could stay and help her finish, we still need to go." Said Ugy rousing Noah from the magnificent scene he witnessed.
Noah shook his head and rushed after Samantha's team without turning back as if afraid he might want to stay to see it through to the end.
*****
"You know it would have been easier to finish her off." Said Yuko, sitting on the couch inside Noah's mind realm, watching the scene, but did not hear any answer, so she turned to the side where she saw a plush bear with a lecherous face gazing back at her with a smirk.
"I mean kill her." She said rolling her eyes at the plush bear.
"Yeah, well we could, but that's not who Noah is, and also this would bring far more trouble later. Just the deaths of the two who tried to kill him, brought such a commotion, sending all hounds after Samantha and her team. Another death would make us mortal enemies with the holy woman. And it's better not to have her as an enemy."
"I see." Said Yuko. "Still he gave out too much info about himself to let her go. They even know his face now."
"Which face?" Asked Ugy with a smile. "This one?" He said opening a system screen where Noah's face was covered by the picture of Butler Vernon. "Well, this Vernon guy sure is a fiend. Fucked the auction master's wife and killed her, let free all prisoners, stole everything in the vault, and fucked up that shadow woman over there. But it has nothing to do with us. After all, ever since the forest where we met Samantha and her team, Noah hasn't shown his true face even once. And had a second skin illusion at all times while inside the dungeon. Even when he kissed that girl just now, she only saw his eyes from close up. When she let his face go it turned back to Vernon's. If someone is to be blamed, it would be that butler guy.
"This…sounds evil." Said Yuko.
"Well they are the true evil and that's what our…." Ugy suddenly stopped mid-sentence making Yuko look at him questioningly.
"Forget it." Said Ugy as he turned back to the screen.
What was he about to say? Thought Yuko as she studied the plush bear carefully from the side.
