Chapter 16 - Chapter 16 : The Spirit Tree ( Part 2 )

Lucifer and Fenrir kept advancing up the stairs, killing foes and completing different trails. They just finished defeating a nest filled with monster crocodiles. Now they are resting together and Fenrir is eating roasted meat. She cut off the crocodiles while Lucifer polished his twin pistol. 

" Awe man it's been three days since we started climbing and we're nowhere near the top yet " Fenrir said as she bit off another piece of meat and guzzled down a mug of beer. 

" I'm so exhausted I can't think straight. Hey Lucifer are you even listening ?  it's hard to tell when your eyes are closed and why do you keep them closed anyways ? hicc "

" Being blind inside my father's cave has taught me that you should never trust your eyes because your eyes are an even greater deceiver than the ones who have deceived you "

" That's a load of horse p*ss, The only reason you say this is because you're using 「Magic Perception 」. I don't have that skill so I have to use my eyes. I wonder how I will look walking around with my eyes closed. I would look like an blind old sage Hahahahahahah.....hm? "

Fenrir looked at Lucifer and noticed that he wasn't laughing nor smiling. She grabbed Lucifer cheeks with her paws and started tugging on them. 

" Oh don't be so stiff Lucifer at least smile once a while. If you don't I'll bite yah "

She smiled revealing her canines but Lucifer wasn't intimidated. He slapped her hands away and lay on the ground. Lucifer went to sleep leaving Fenrir up and she continued to look at him as he slept and she smiled widely. The next morning Lucifer wakes up and in the darkness he could feel something warm against his back. He even felt something around his waist and became confused. 

- What's this ?! -

Lucifer activates his 「Magic Perception 」and everything becomes visible to him once again. Fenrir was behind him sleeping and she hugged him tightly against her body. Her arm was around his waist and her tail was wagging a little. 

-This woman is seriously crossing her line.. I'm going to make her -

Before Lucifer could do anything Fenrir hugs him even tighter and for a moment there Lucifer felt his heart skip a beat. His face got a feeling  just like when he was around Amelia and deep inside he got irritated. Fenrir slowly open her eyes again and finds herself hugging Lucifer like a teddy bear. 

" You're awake now ? " Lucifer asks. 

" Awe man don't tell me I go drunk again"

" Yes you did, Now could you get your hands off me " Lucifer ask, Fenrir look at the position they are in and she smiled. 

- Look at him, I bet he's getting a boner right now, Now that it's reach this far might as well have some fun with it -

" Lucifer, I didn't expect you to be so comfortable. Now I'm getting tired one again, wake me up in ten minutes "

" What, hey ! "

Lucifer calls out to Fenrir but she pretends to have fallen asleep while clinging to him tightly. He got irritated and decided to worm his way out of her clutches. Suddenly the chain covering Fenrir's breast shifted and he could see her nipple. Lucifer was surprised to see a woman's nipple for the first time. Fenrir didn't mind, she was secretly smiling at Lucifer's dilemma. 

- Look at him, I guess underneath that tough guy act he's still only a child, a boy no less and I know how a boy will react when he sees a woman's body -

She thought to herself. 

Suddenly Lucifer accidentally pulls the chain wrapped around her crotch and a lightning rushes through Fenrir's body. Lucifer pulled on the chain again and her tail straightened out. She started to get this tingly feeling all over her body. 

- What's this feeling I'm having? My body is getting so hot all of a sudden -

Fenrir couldn't understand these feelings she was having. Lucifer continued to tug on the chain trying to get out of her grip while Fenrir was trying her best to remain silent and bearing the sensation she was having. Her face was flushed red and she was sweating all over her body and she was getting hotter and hotter. Lucifer pulled on the chain harder than before and the sensation Fenrir was having got worse. 

- I can't, I can't hold it in any longer -

Fenrir grit her teeth as hard as she could until Lucifer broke free of her grip. Lucifer stood back on his feet and fix his jacket 

" Finally...hm ? "

He looked at Fenrir as her face was flushed red and her wolf ears lowered. Her body was sweating and she was shaking. 

- What's wrong with her, did she have a fever or something ? it's impossible, she's a werewolf. Maybe she's just playing around?  -

Lucifer walked away. 

Fenrir breathes a sigh of relief and puts her hand between her legs.

- That was so intense, what was that feeling welling up deep inside me ? -

She slightly opened her tearing eyes and looked at Lucifer as she walked away.

- Lucifer, what did you do to me ? -

Later that day Lucifer and Fenrir advance up the stairs together. She looks up at the stairs that continues to go upperwards. 

" Why do I feel that the ceiling is becoming further and further away? " Fenrir asked. 

Lucifer looked up and noticed the same thing as well. 

- Is this a illusion of some sort ? -

Lucifer noticed something else and looked behind him. The staircase was disappearing behind them. 

" Run !"

He shouts then runs off. Fenrir was confused until she looked behind her and noticed that the floor was disappearing behind her. Fenrir takes off at lightning speed, She and Lucifer run side to side with each other with the stairs vanishing right behind them. The door to the next room was moments away from them and they ran as fast as the could trying to reach it. 

- A little bit longer, Just a little bit longer -

Lucifer thought to himself. 

Before they reached the door the steps beneath them vanished and they started to fall. Lucifer grabbed Fenrir paw and tried shooting a web out of his hand but instead darkness leaked out of his body and turned an arm that grabbed the base of the door. Lucifer swings both of them back up to solid ground. 

" Thanks for that Lucifer " Fenrir said and he responded with a nod. 

" I didn't know you could do that ? " Fenrir ask.

" Neither did I "

Lucifer responded as he looked at his hand with his eyes closed.The door opened for them to another room. Inside is green with grass and many fruit trees. There was also waterfalls and mountains. 

" What is this place? " Fenrir asks as she looks around. 

They walked on the concrete path beside the waterfall. Lucifer kept looking around the area as he walked until he noticed a presence. He quickly turned and pointed his guns at the person standing behind him. It was a woman with long blonde hair reaching her feet and green eyes. Pure white skin and she looked older than Fenrir and had a more voluptuous body and boobs three times larger. Her body was adorned with a  golden and green dress.

" Please, I didn't mean to startle you, My apologies " She said politely. 

" Who are you ? talk fast " Lucifer said in a cold tone. The woman looked at him profoundly. 

" You have dragon blood inside you and Indura's blood no less " The woman smiled at him. 

- Who is this woman I can't see her power level -

Fenrir asks herself. 

" Who are you and how did you know my father?! " Lucifer asks. 

" Indura is your father, it makes sense. Oh I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Sacred and I'm the Spirit Tree " She introduced herself. 

Lucifer and Fenrir were surprised and they looked at the woman profoundly from head to toe. From what Fenrir as told Lucifer, the Spirit Tree is the center of the Great Forest Of Indura inside the domain of the dryads. The Spirit are essentially the mother of the dryads and Treants and the guardian of the elves and Fairies. The Spirit Tree has been around for tens of thousands of years and possess immense spiritual energy that is distributed to the plants and flowers around it. 

- This woman is the Spirit Tree's human form and the way she talks, it's as if she knew my father personally -

Lucifer thought to himself.

" Why don't you put the gun down so we can talk? " Sacred ask politely. 

- So she knows what kind of weapon this is, big surprised when The Holy City of Nerotopia is filled with them -

Lucifer put his guns away. Fenrir noticed that he had stopped and put her fists away as well. 

" You must be tired, why don't you join me for some tea? "
