'Oh, now that's interesting,' he thought.
Beside him, Vin didn't notice the change in Jake's expression. However, Maise did and she had a feeling that Jake knew something.
However, it was just a feeling, maybe she was being too paranoid. The deed has already been done, there was no use crying over it. But how could her brother marry now. What about her?
Maise ran inside the house. Jake and Vin followed while looking around.
The marriage ceremony in this world consisted of the processions and the vows.
The first part started about an hour later. Yahul was dressed in flamboyant robes made of actual silk which was a luxury for these villagers. Despite the best wishes from his friends and family, the 20-year-old man wasn't cheerful at all.
Maise kept looking at her brother with guilty eyes as he proceeded towards the decorated pavilion with his friends.
On the other side, Jake finally saw the bride similarly proceeding with her family, friends and bridesmaids. A beauty, indeed. Having light blonde hair, green eyes and a tall body. Her name was Elena Smith, the daughter of the village chief.
Her marriage was a little late compared to other girls'. It was because she had spent time in Orlando studying history and politics. She was already 18, he had heard.
Her curves were hidden by her large dress, but Jake could tell that she had an symmetric outline and ample assests. Now, if her personality was good, then marrying this girl was the same as ascending to the heavens.
Jake glanced at Yahul. 'However, you're unfortunate.'
With loud cheers, the villagers threw flowers soaked in Blessed Water at the processions. The bride and the groom both met in the pavilion.
One thing that Jake found strange here was this tradition. Yahul was required to wear a mask. Actually, Elena hadn't seen her future husband's face even now.
This was all arranged by her parents and she could only see him after the marriage was completed.
'Bullshit,' Jake thought, looking at the ongoing wedding. The village priest's voice was clear as he asked the couple to take their wedding vows.
There were a lot of things questionable about the vows as well. It fundamentally favoured the groom and his family. Some minutes passed. When they finished taking their vows, the priest officially announced that they were married.
Then, both the bride and the groom wore eachother's garlands. Two clumsy bards began singing and poor musicians beat their instruments.
'No kissing, I guess. He's wearing a mask… I guess she gets to see his face soon enough?' Jake thought. He still hadn't interfered because to him, this marriage meant nothing.
With his hands folded, Jake looked at the surrouding villagers all dancing and celebrating, women and men inviting people to another venue for party.
Everyone seemed exicted, yet the fun for him hadn't even started.
…
Night came, blanketing the sky with bright stars. Tonight, for Yahul, was the Night of Consummation. However, he was instead with his group of friends, drowned in alcohol.
"Lucky bastard!"
"Congratulations!"
They played, giving Yahul more alcohol and hyping him until he forgot about what happened with Maise.
Jake came forward at this moment and clapped. "Well guys, let's not keep this fella here all night."
He was pretty informal in his speech and they didn't notice it. It was a happy occasion so everyone's favourability towards eachother had increased.
"Yea, you don't wanna keep the bride waiting, do you?"
"Go go. Don't make me help!"
They teased Yahul as he hiccuped and followed Jake. The other people who were partying till late night noticed them and smiled.
With this, yet another marriage would be concluded. They expected a child to be born 9 months later.
Yahul shyly nodded to everyone and walked towards his house which was empty except for the bride tonight. Jake was like a true brother as he helped Yahul from falling over.
However, when they disappeared from the lights' ranges, Jake smoothly turned directions. Yahul noticed it and said, "Johnny, this isn't the right way!"
However, the always friendly and serious aventurer Johnny didn't speak at this moment. He kept pushing Yahul by his shoulder until they reached a storeroom near the house.
Crickets made noises in the dark and cool wind flowed, providing a moment for sobriety for Yahul.
"I think we shoul- ack!" He unexpectedly got a punch on his stomach.
The next moment, Jake lifted him with one hand and threw his body at the storeroom.
Bam!
The door burst open and Yahul slid inside, already unconscious. Jake clapped his hands even though they weren't dusty and walked towards the storeroom. He kicked the unconscious body inside, and shut the wooden door before locking it from the outside.
"Fuh, I guess that's enough."
Jake turned around and walked towards the house. When he reached the front door, he took out the groom's mask which he had stolen from Yahul.
Wearing it, he entered the house.
'This certainly is a new experience… Stealing someone's bride,' Jake thought as he went upstairs.
Inside her new room, Elena was sitting while wearing loose clothes, anticipating her husband to enter. She had been told daily by her mother that she must please her husband on the Night of Consummation.
And it was tonight.
She would become a wife and an adult. A new life, a new experience… What would it be like? Elena was a bit nervous yet anticipant.
She was told that it would hurt during the first time, yet she was brave. Deep inside her, she was just a girl wanting to be loved.
'I wonder what his face looks like…' Just as she thought this, the door of her room clicked open and a tall man came in.
The room's lighting was purposely made to be a bit dark. Elena didn't notice the physique difference.
Eh, he seemed a bit too tall. No no, he's wearing that mask, it has to be her husband Yahul. Elena titled her head up. At this moment, Jake took off his mask and his handsome face stunned her.
"I… You…" She found herself unable to speak.
– (R-18) –
Compared to other girls, Elena seemed awfully shy. This was new to Jake.
He looked behind her and saw that the bed was littered with red flower petals. The room was decorated to the max with woven flowers as well as attractive symbols depicting a fresh start, love, and relationship.
"Mister Y-yahul…" she said as he came and sat beside her.
"I prefer to be called by my secret name Jake." He lifted her chin.
There was no way he could accept her moaning someone else's name when he would rail her. As for her learning his real name, that was the least of his concerns.
"Okay, m-mister Jake…" She darted her eyes as a cute blush covered her cheeks.
"Remove the 'mister', Elena. From today, we are man and wife, bound by our vows and virtues." Jake tenderly looked at her.
He never took those vows, of course. Jake was pretty decent at lying and Elena fell for it, deeper and deeper.
"Jake, I don't know how to… um…" Her mind was full of those thoughts which they would do tonight, and she didn't spare a moment to calm herself.
"No worries. We can just go with the flow…" Jake faked his purity and came closer.
Albiet not so bright, he yellow light inside was a great merit as it let him see Elena's beauty. Tonight, she was wearing a silky white chemise that could not hide the ups and downs on her youthful body.
Elena had healthy light skin and soft flesh. Her womanly parts had grown fully, boasting breasts the size of ripe mangoes. Small, compared to Rose's, but shapely and alluring in their own regard.
However, Jake's gaze wasn't only focused on them. He stretched his other hand and touched her right cheek.
"With my face that God gave me, I have had many women fall for me. However, Elena, you are the only one who heats such a desire in my body. I restrained myself for this day, this night, because I knew I would meet someone like you."
Jake placed his other hand on her thigh while she was stunned by his sweet bold words. He could feel the smoothness of it over her chemise.
"Jake…" Elena felt something bubbling within her. She felt immensely happy that she was blessed with a husband such as this.
Seeing the opening, Jake immediately kissed her lips. A wheaty smell entered his nose as he opened her mouth and tasted inside. His other hand lifted her chemise, and stroked her bare thigh.
His palm slid towards the center of her legs like the head of a sly snake. Oh, she wasn't wearing her underwear. Jake teased her vulva by rubbing it once.
The moon hung in the sky. Their shadows danced in an intimate act. A sound of small popping tinkered through the air as Jake tasted her lips.
They exchanged each other's saliva. As their kiss stopped, Jake got onto the bed on his knees.
Elena touched her lips and looked at her husband unbuttoning his pants. She remembered her mother's teachings at this moment.
"Be a virtuous wife and serve your husband in every way he wishes."
Since she turned 12, she had been brainwashed by this concept of subservience. Even when she was in the city, her aunt always told her to be docile.
She was just a late teen, born in a backward society, how could she not heed the words her family drilled into her head? Elena gulped as Jake's pants fell.
His bulging straight stick was restrained by a thin underwear. This was… her husband's manhood? It looked so imposing.
"Let's not waste any time, dear. Tonight, we consummate our marriage and pave a new future for us, for our families." Jake brought his cock closer to her and pulled his underwear.
Elena suddenly covered her face, seeing the meatstick as thick as a baby's arm. Although she had known what it was like, this was her first time seeing a man's thing.
Looking at her red ears and hearing the cute girly noises she made, Jake placed his palm on her head.
"Open your mouth, Elena. Sucking this is your duty."
She peeked through her fingers and slid down her palms. Then, she closed her eyes and opened her mouth. He could see her lips trembling.
"Larger, my wife. It needs to fit." Jake placed his other palm on her head as well.
Elena made her mouth's opening as big as possible.
"Now stretch your tongue out and sit comfortably, spreading your thighs." Jake's tone was turning authoritative.
She did as he said, hanging her tongue out. Placing her palms flat on the soft bedding, she leaned her upper body closer to Jake's abdomen as he spread his legs.
Elena could feel the air inside with her wet tongue. Suddenly, she felt a soft tip passing through her lip's entrance… A hard rod slid inside her mouth, stretching her lips.
"Good girl," Jake said and moved her head back and forth.
"Mrmmm… Mmmm…" Elena opened her eyes in surprise. She was sucking her husband's dick!
"Yeah…" Jake could feel that sense of dominance powering his body, as if his balls had grown another pair.
Seeing this girl's beautiful face from above, he moved his hips, fully plugging her mouth with his thick cock.
"Ummfgh! Fmumrrmgh!"
Tears quickly secreted on Elena's eyes as Jake fucked her face, his foreskin creasing due to her lip's tightness.
As she sat there in a toad's position, tilting her head up, Jake's cock went deep inside her throat. Elena's tongue licked Jake's balls and her nose hit his loins.
"Ouggh… Mrrffghh!" She made gagging sounds as Jake felt the wet tightness pressing on his rod from all sides.
He then pulled out, letting her breathe. His whole dick was soaked and dripping with her saliva.
"Hah… hah…" She took long thirsty breaths, holding her neck. At this moment, a pill appeared in Jake's hand.
"Eat it, you will feel better." He opened her mouth and tossed it inside.
This was a Vigor Improvement Pill which cost him only 120 Evil Points. It would help her hold her breaths for a long time and last longer in sex.
As for the contraceptive… Jake didn't think it was necessary.
'When I cum inside, I shouldn't let my demonic powers transfer through my semen. However, the matter about Elena's pregnancy… I'll let my good friend Yahul handle it.' He thought and plugged this beautiful girl's mouth with his cock again.
"Aurrggh! Ougrrhh… Mrmmm… Mmmm…!"
The consummation was just beginning.
Elena's mind was getting cloudy with Jake's rod going in and out of her mouth. After eating that pill, she didn't have gag reflex when he fucked her face for a long time. Her body seemed to be full of energy.
Slurp… Slurp…
Jake could feel the texture of her wet lips sliding down his foreskin, the heat on her reddened ears and cheeks as he pressed them with his palms, moving her head and his own abdomen in sync.
He never thought that this day would come – that he, a former loser, would make someone else's wife suck his dick so obediently. He felt like he had changed, but didn't care about that at this moment.
"So damn good…" Jake collected all of Elena's blonde hair and formed a tight bundle, moving his hips with no restraint.
"Ougghh! Mfrgggh…!"
At this moment, Elena instinctively tried taking a breath through her mouth, contracting her jaws and lips. She stared at her towering husband and made sounds to let him know.
"Mrrmm… Mnngggh…"
However, feeling everything becoming so tight, Jake instead moved his hips faster. When she looked at him, he felt a tingle spread from his thighs and waist which gathered in his balls.
'Ah fuck…' His blood turned hotter and his veiny dick throbbed inside her mouth.
A stream of thick white cum burst out from his glans. Jake suddenly squatted on his knees and pulled Elena's head closer, cumming inside her mouth.
Her eyes turned wide as she tasted the sticky fluid. Because she had been trying to breathe, she involuntarily swallowed a lot of it. The rest streamed down her lips, dripping from her chin.
"Ogghh…" Jake pulled out at this moment, and a popping sound echoed when his tip left Elena's sticky lips.
He felt so good that he didn't bother to check the system's message. He instead picked up a piece of cloth and wiped the cum on her chin.
"Open your mouth," he ordered, and she hesitantly obliged. Her mind was still spinning.
'It's all white…' Jake held her chin and closed her mouth. He expertly kissed her neck and started undressing her.
His legs moved on their own to throw his pants off the bed. The moment she was fully naked, Jake's hands slid down to Elena's youthful thighs.
Like a priest, he spread her legs as if they were a gospel, and stared at the pure, holy land. Out of embarrassment, Elena covered her pink region with her small palm.
Her other hand covered her mouth as she forcefully swallowed the remaining cum.
Jake smirked and touched her loins. He pushed the hand which covered that beautiful view and commented, "How cute…"
Sinking his fingers on her soft thighs, he bent down and kissed her pussy.
"I-Isn't that vulgar? I…" Elena was ashamed.
Jake didn't answer and just licked it. He used his tongue and opened a small entry, just enough to make her moan.
"Annh~"
Bending her legs, he put them over his shoulder and tasted her pussy. The pinkish red flower was becoming wet. Elena felt it and her lust increased.
"Hic- Annnh! Urmmm…" She looked up at the ceiling and instinctively patted Jake's head. Whatever he was doing, it was giving her too much stimulation.
His tongue was expanding her untouched region and tickling the sensitive spots. She could feel his hands squeezing her plump ass. It just made her feel good… Jake was getting better at pleasing women.
When she was about to cum, however, he stopped everything and stood straight.
"No! Don't stop…"
Hearing her, Jake smiled devilishly and instead brought his wet little brother closer to her vulva.
Feeling the touch of his tip, Elena's nipples hardened. Breathing heavily, she felt the rapid beating of her heart. She was nervous, excited, anticipant, a little scared…
"Ah!"
It entered.
I-It was so big…
It hurt!
Tears again formed in her eyes. She started crying and Jake had to stop for a while. He hadn't entered more than halfway. She was too tight.
Some girls are brave and take it, but some are just too soft. Jake leaned down and hugged her. He started sucking on her nipples instead.
This gave Elena the emotional support she needed. During sex, one could feel hundreds of things at once. It was otherworldly. Not just pleasure, but something more profound, more primal.
[Ding! You have committed a lustful sin. You gain 1233 Evil Points!]
The message appeared a few minutes later than usual. Opening his eyes, Jake pushed his cock a little deeper. He looked at Elena and she gently nodded.
"Mn."
That was the cue for him to move his hips. Slowly at first, adjusting her tight pussy to his dick's need. After his dragon adapted in this warm and cozy habitat, Jake thrusted deeper.
"Annhh! Ah~ Ah~" Below him, Elena moaned submissively. Her hair was a mess. Her face, its beauty somewhat dulled by tears and cum stains.
However, Jake found her more attractive than ever. He could feel the heat of Elena's thighs, the touch of her skin as he laid flat over her, moving his hips, thrusting his raw cock inside her clit. This was real, and it felt damn good!
"Annh, Jake! Ah~ Ah~"
He was fucking her.
The bed moved back and forth. Elena's moans mixed with the clapping sounds. Everything was loud, filled with energy.
While he was fucking, Jake lifted his upper body and pulled Elena's legs apart. Squeezing her calves, he thrusted faster and faster.
Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah…
Railing her in that position for a while, Jake again brought her two legs together. He brought everything to the left side and fucked her in a sidelong position. Her bums flattened every time Jake's hard rod went deep.
"Mnnhh! Annh~" As time passed, Elena liked it more and more.
Jake made her lie flat on her belly and climbed on top of her. He directly sat on her buttocks and impatiently spread them.
"Jake?" Elena glanced behind and suddenly moaned as his dick slipped inside again.
Pah! Pah! Pah!
She could feel his pelvis smacking her asses. Jake laid his palms on her back and drilled into her flesh canal.
"Mmnffh! Ah~ Annh~" Elena's moans turned sharper. He was hitting her womb with every thrust!
"Come here." Jake pulled her body by her waist and slid down. Now he stood on the floor behind Elena, whose upper body was pressed on the bed. She tightly gripped the bedsheet, feeling Jake's thick cock deep inside her.
Jake suddenly slapped her right ass, making it jiggle. His meaty pipe then slipped inside her, making a crisp smacking sound.
"Annh!" Elena tried covering her mouth. However, she just couldn't stop her moans.
Jake grabbed her asses and started slaying her tight pink hole. Every time he thrusted, he felt her sexy ass clap against his thighs. It was soft and his hips wouldn't stop moving.
Pahh! Pahh! Pahh!
He directly cummed but never stopped once. Kneading her asses, he ravaged Elena's pussy. Her crispy moans sounded divine.
"Annhh! Jake~ More! Aaannh!"
Elena orgasmed, overwhelmed by Jake's large rod. She cried again, but this time in pleasure.
Pah!
"Ah~"
Pah!
"Annh~"
Pah… Pah… Pah! Jake cummed again and his semen burst out of Elena's vagina this time. His balls kissed her dripping wet cunt. Yet, he wasn't stopping. Pinning her against the bed's edge, Jake pounded Elena, and she loved it.
This night, this consummation, she would never forget it.
The night passed rather quickly and the sun showed its face again, smiling with a golden radiance. Jake was inside, already up and checking his points on the messy bed.
Behind him, Elena slept soundly. She was extremely tired and probably wouldn't wake up until afternoon.
[Evil Points: 5,580]
This was his current amount and he hadn't used it. Jake was planning to stack 10,000 points and unlock another sin. For that, he would need at least three other preys.
Right now, he should go outside and eat something. Today, the western merchants would come and he planned to visit the Rustfall town.
However, just as he opened the door, he saw maise standing there who looked like she had been crying earlier.
"Ello." Jake waved and casually walked past her. It took her a second to comprehend just what the hell was happening.
"Johnny, how are… you…" She was still processing that. Jake didn't even glance back and walked downstairs, leaving her dumbfounded.
She quickly went inside the decorated room and sucked in long breaths seeing the condition inside.
'He…he… did it with Elena? Then where is Yahul?' Maise felt her head spin. She was shocked to the core. However, she also felt somewhat happy inside.
Then guilt covered her face as she leaned on the wall.
…
The moment Jake came to another lobby, he could hear Yahul's mother merrily cooking food for her son. He must be hungry after such a long night, she thought.
However, her son was still locked inside the storeroom and as anyone barely went there, no one knew. Maybe if he called for help from inside, they would notice. If Yahul even had a shred of pride as man, he wouldn't tell anyone about what happened yesterday.
Jake didn't care. There were two reasons why he went out of his dungeon. First, to collect enough points, and second to explore the surrounding area. His primary objective was to arm his dungeon and level himself up. After all, he had made a goal to be the strongest and take everything this world has to offer.
'I'm wasting my time here, there are many other villages and towns as well…' Jake thought as he went outside the house.
People were walking about, doing their own job early in the morning. However, when they saw him coming out of Yahul's house, they all looked at him with a strange expression.
"Hey lad, what were doing there?"
Someone asked but Jake basically ignored him, heading back to the Inn. On the way, he heard some commotion and suddenly smirked. He changed his direction and went towards the abandoned storeroom.
Muttering to each other, people were gathered around the door which was smashed open. He pushed them and came to the front. Yahul was being helped by two boys.
"It's okay, she won't get mad."
"You two have many nights ahead of you."
They consoled and Yahul nodded listlessly. But when he saw Jake, he abruptly stood up, and shouted while staggering forward.
"Johnny! You, why did you do that?!"
He held Jake's collar and looked at him with bloodshot eyes. Yesterday was his night! Although he may have been fucked by his sister, his heart was still fixated on Elena.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have the conscience to marry her after committing incest. After his consummation with Elena, he could forget about what happened between him and Maise. However, with this Johnny's actions yesterday, he missed that important night. He kept Elena alone. Ah, she must be crying…
Yahul felt guilty and his anger flared up when he saw this adventurer's smile. However, when Jake opened his mouth, he suddenly lost all strength.
"Your new wife sucked the cum out of my cock yesterday. Her pussy was the tightest I've ever felt." Jake whispered into his ear.
Yahul felt like he was struck by thunder. He stumbled backwards and fell on his butt. No! He didn't want to think about it, didn't want to imagine it. However, he just couldn't stop himself from running to his home.
Everyone looked confusedly as the boy pushed himself up and left so abruptly. Jake wasn't interested in seeing what he would do, so he went to the inn.
At the afternoon, the sun was high up above the clouds, shining while emmiting passionate heat. The smell of cattle was in the air and people were taking care of yesterday's marriage ceremony and parties.
Yahul and his friends were searching for Jake to take revenge. However, they didn't know that he was in the stable, among the horses, rolling in hay with none other than Vin.
"Annhh~ Ah~ Ah~"
He was having fun smacking her meaty cunt as she rode him in cowgirl position. She was one energetic woman with powerful thighs.
"Ah fuck…!"
Squeezing Vin's breasts, Jake cummed inside her and harvested 1100 points. The system gave out more points when he cummed inside. The profit outweighed the loss of buying a contraceptive.
After letting her suck some more milk out of his cock, he finished this sex on a reverse cowgirl position. Now his Evil Points reached 6950 with this.
"I didn't know you were so good at pleasing, Johnny. If you ever want to fuck, you can always find me." Vin winked. She was a promiscuous woman.
"Sure," Jake said as he dressed up. It didn't feel all that new to have sex now. Fucking was still a great feeling and it would never go away. But the desperate thirst he had as a virgin now vanished. Jake had matured in this aspect.
Leaving the stable, Jake and Vin headed to the village square after hearing that the merchants were here. All the villagers had left their daily work to barter and buy necessities. Things like salt, wool, spices…
"I need to pack things. You're also leaving, right, Johnny?" Vin asked.
Jake nodded. Just before she turned around, he lightly spanked her asses, making her giggle.
After Vin left the village square, Jake neared the brown tents erected by the merchants. There were various stalls as well. He planned to buy some things here.
At this moment, however, he suddenly heard a loud voice call him.
"You, stop!"
He turned around and saw that Yahul was in his full-body armor, wielding a naked longsword sword.
Beside him, maise held her brother's arm while trying to convince him to not do this.
"I'll kill you!" Yahul's statement drew everyone's attention. He hadn't told anyone about what had happened. This was a matter of pride and it could only be sloved when one of them died!
"Kill me?" Jake narrowed his eyes. Up until now, he hadn't done anything to these mere villagers. That was because he didn't want any kind of high-level kingdom knights or adventurers coming to him.
That didn't mean he wouldn't deal with someone who offended him.
"Johnny, he's mad. You shouldn't stay here!" Maise shouted. She didn't want to see a fight happen. But she couldn't stop her brother with her strength.
"Haaaa!" Yahul ran forward with all his might.
Seeing the incoming figure, Jake calmly walked forward and stretched out his palm. It was about time he showed some of his powers. If they asked, he could just tell them that he was a mage.
[Demonic Grasp]
His target wasn't Yahul, but his sister.
"Ah!" Maise cried as an unseen force pulled her whole body towards Jake. As he had leveled up [Demonic Grasp] from level 1 to level 2, its range had increased. Now he could affect things within 15 meters of him as long as their weight didn't exceed 200 kilograms.
The others were stunned to see this and simultaneously gasped as Jake caught Maise by her waist. Yahul immediately stopped charging when his sword came near his sister's body.
That Johnny was using Maise as a shield… This was what he thought. However, Jake was just not in a mood to fight with this ant.
"You… what are you?!" Yahul exclaimed as he held his sword straight.
"What do you think?" Jake held Maise's chin and showed her pitiful face to her brother. She was completely at Jake's mercy and unable to move. However, he had controlled his strength and didn't pinch too much or her head would explode.
"Let…let her go!" Yahul brandished his sword and cautiously walked forward. He was starting to realize who this adventurer might be.
Hearing Yahul, Jake looked left and right and snapped his finger. A pitch black fire burned on his forefinger's tip. Immediately, people started excaliming.
"He's a mage!?"
"No wonder, no wonder!"
In this world, the status of those who can use magic is way higher than those who cannot. Controlling the mysterious force known as mana and performing awe-inspiring actions which could only be considered as miracles, was a respected and feared profession.
When Yahul realized that Jake was a mage, his hands holding the longsword trembled. Yet, he kept his grip tight, not wanting to show weakness. However, he panicked when Jake brought that burning fingertip towards Maise's face.
"Brother!" she cried.
"Stop, stop! What do you want?!" Yahul asked. He even went as far as throwing his sword.
Jake smiled and extinguished the little fire. However, he suddenly brought his lips near Maise's ear and whispered something to her.
He then pushed Maise forward and folded his hands. "Entertain me now. Tell everyone about it."
The surrounding people who had been tense until now heaved long sighs of relief. Thankfully, this mage didn't hurt that girl. However, her brother was really a fool for offending such a mysterious man.
"Now!" Jake urged and Maise shook like a frightened deer. She glanced at Yahul and seeing the look on her sister's face, his eyes widened. No, he must not let her disclose that secret!
"I… Me and my brother commi-" Yahul dashed forward and closed his sister's mouth with his palm.
A moment later, however, he started choking as Jake pulled his neck using [Demonic Grasp].
"P-please… n-no…" He uttered.
"Th-that's enough young man, he'll die at this rate!" Someone said from behind. It was an old retired adventurer.
However, when Jake turned around and looked at him with his black eyes, the retired adventurer quickly shut up. He felt fear. Immense fear as if a top predator was standing in front of him.
Jake looked at all of them and nobody dared to say anything. His expression was then quickly replaced by a smile as he glanced at Yahul, who was holding his neck with both his hands.
"I was about to leave from here, but you just made things more interesting."
"Please…" Yahul coughed violently and added, "I-I'll do anything… a-anything!"
"So you want to keep your pride that much? Is it really worth your life?" Jake asked in amusement.
"What about you, Maise?" Just as Jake asked, he suddenly threw Yahul away. A long black scythe appeared in his right and he swung it behind him.
Tiiiinnng!
A loud sound rang out and a gust of wind spread outwards from the point of contact. The man who attacked him stepped eight steps backward while Jake stood on spot.
'He's quite strong… A spearman of the 2nd Circle?' Jake thought. He was about to use his [Demon Eye] skill but the armored man came again.
Weapons clashed, but this time the man swiftly carried himself using the rebound force and thrusted at Jake's right. The spear tip went through Jake's waist and he grunted in pain. What did he expect? His battle experience was really low.
After reincarnating, this was the first time Jake was fighting someone. He thought that he was already powerful, so he became careless. That was not good and Jake knew it. However, even as it hurt like hell, Jake acted on instinct to save himself.
"Arrgh!" He quickly stumbled backwards and waved his left hand. A pitch black fire burned on the spearman's helmet.
At this time, the bystanders finally acted and ran away while shouting. Most of them here were simple villagers who rarely got to see human blood. Yet, they didn't know that the red liquid flowing out of the wound on Jake's body wasn't human, but demon blood.
"Fuck you!" Jake cursed and gritted his teeth. He immediately created some distance between him and the spearman who had thrown away his helmet.
At first, Hog had tried to resolve the earlier situation by force. He actually didn't mean to hurt Jake, but an accident happened. Now he had no choice but to fight against this mage. Thankfully, this one seemed rather new and didn't know how to fight properly.
Hastily pulling up the status panel, Jake leveled up his [Minor Regeneration] skill to level 3. It took him 1300 points but he didn't care. Using that skill, his blood quickly started coagulating. The red-haired spearman noticed it and frowned.
Glancing at his helmet, he found that instead of being burned, it was being consumed by the black fire.
"Which dark mages' faction are you a part of?" The spearman asked alertly.
However, Jake didn't answer.
Demonic Grasp!
Unlike others, the spearman knew what would happen when Jake stretched his hand. He had seen it 3 times already and knew a way to cope with it. With his blood speartip pointed straight ahead, the spearman let himself be pulled.
Jake's Demonic Grasp was only at level 2 and he didn't have fine control over it. When the spear was in front of him, he had no choice but to swing his scythe again.
'Damn it, I have zero experience in fighting. I should have bought more skills!' It was at this moment that Jake realized that he was neglecting his combat aspect too much. Leveling up and buying skills was good and all, but he needed to have actual experience in using everything he had.
Right now, against this skilled spearman, Jake was having trouble even with his superior stats and magical powers. However, because Jake became more cautious, the spearman also couldn't hurt him after that first attack.
Thus, a gritty and somewhat bizarre fight happened between a mercenary in his prime youth and an inexperienced demon-in-disguise. At the village square, everyone was surrounding the two from far away. Quite a few mercenaries were trying to help their captain Hog, but they were afraid of the mage's magic.
After a while, Jake went completely mad and started using [Dark Fire] only. This caused the spearman to lose all his armor in no time. After spending more than 80 mana, Jake was starting to get an advantage. He was getting into this feeling of battling.
Even though his body was littered with bloody wounds, he was calm because he knew the skill [Minor Regeneration] would cover for him. As long as he conserved his mana, he could easily defeat this spearman.
Both of them were quite tired at this moment and Jake used that opportunity to level up his [Dark Fire] skill two times, spending 2550 Evil Points. It was costly but he needed this.
Now at level 4, he could conjure a larger and more deadly flame. Its temperature had spiked by 60%, and its range had increased upto 25 metres.
The moment he caught a breather, Jake used that skill on the spearman who looked awfully tired.
A churning sound came as the man's flesh burned, now without any armor to protect himself.
"Aaaahh!"
The spearman's whole body caught fire in an instant as he ran forward with all his might, trying to clash with the caster.
However, after all the fighting, Jake was quick to react. Spending 10 points of mana, he again used [Demonic Grasp] to hold that red-haired man's burning legs.
Sizzle… Sizzle…
The villagers looked as a horrific scene played out. When the previously muscular man turned into nothing more than a charred corpse, they sucked in deep frightened breaths.
A mage, this was the terrific power of an actual mage!
Jake wasn't in the mood to remain there after finishing off his opponent. However, just as he turned around, he suddenly narrowed his eyes.
"Kill!" Yahul's eyes were crimson as he used all his strength and slashed at this Johnny who had cucked him.
But instead of dodging, Jake directly grabbed the blade which sank deep into his palms.
"Kuh…" Jake grunted, feeling the pain but didn't let go of the sword. When he stared at Yahul who had utter dread in his eyes, Jake smiled and spat on his face.
"You just dug your own grave, but I won't kill you yet. I'll let you know what true pain is," Jake's cold voice rang in Yahul's ears and he couldn't help but shudder hearing it.
