Davi slowly opened his eyes, feeling a sharp, throbbing pain in his head that made him furrow his brows. His head seemed to spin for a moment as the crackling sound of a fireplace reached his ears.
Where am I? He wondered, taking in his surroundings. Then he recognized the rough stone walls of the castle.
He tried to move, but his muscles protested with a dull ache that radiated throughout his entire body.
Still lying down, he realized he was in a spacious and chilly room, illuminated only by the amber glow of the fire. The warmth from the nearby fireplace was comforting, though it wasn't enough to completely dispel the cold that seemed to permeate the place.
"You're awake," a gentle voice drew his attention. "How are you feeling? How are your wounds?"
When he turned towards the voice, David was faced with large breasts that swayed with each step of the woman. For some reason, Lara was only wearing her underwear, exposing her sensual body.
It was impossible for the boy's gaze not to be fixed on the perfect curves of that woman, whose body seemed shaped by the most depraved dreams that men could have.
Illuminated by the soft, warm light of the fire, she glowed gently, like a divine figure.
Her skin was like the most perfect porcelain and her body had a hot hourglass shape, with perfectly sculpted curves.
And her breasts, oh her breasts! They proudly stood their ground despite their impossible size, commanding attention like an irresistible force, drawing the gaze of every man in the world.
For an instant, Davi was completely mesmerized by that captivating beauty and his cock inevitably reacted slightly, spasming.
Concentrate, idiot... He thought to himself, returning his concentration to the girl's beautiful face and trying to ignore her desires.
"Where am I? What happened?" Thinking again, Davi asked, feeling a strong headache, as he looked at the beautiful woman illuminated by the firelight.
"Well, as soon as we arrived, you passed out, so I performed first aid. After that, I warmed up your body," she blushed deeply remembering what had happened. "And after you seemed better, I explored the place and I lit this fireplace."
She briefly explained that she had explored the castle, brought him to the room where he could be warmed by the fire, washed his clothes, and was now cooking food.
Moreover, she refused to give more details about what had happened, especially about how she had warmed up the boy. But she at least explained that her shirt had turned into bandages for Davi. That's why she was only wearing a bra, with her huge breasts showing in a sensual way..
As Lara was finishing cooking the meal, they both sat down to eat. Fortunately, there were some supplies in the castle, but for the coming days, they would need to hunt for food
Then, after checking what else was in the castle, they finally found clothes for Lara. And, now tired, they both sat on a stone bench in the main room of the place.
At that moment, exhaustion weighed heavily on the girl, who hadn't rested all day. Overcome by fatigue, she leaned against Davi's body.
She felt more comfortable close to him. And being embraced by that warm comfort, she slowly closed her eyes.
Then she finally fell asleep.
Lara wasn't the type of person who easily trusted others. Normally, she would never sleep like that with a stranger by her side. But the situation had made things turn out this way. Or maybe it was because Davi was special.
She fell asleep and ended up resting her head on the boy's lap, who took the moment to rest a little as well.
The boy watched with a slight smile as the woman, who seemed to finally find some peace on that day, slept.
However, before he could truly relax and sleep, a noise caught his attention. Connecting to the small drone that remained, he observed the outside of the small castle they were in.
Then he found out there were enemies around.
David wondered for a few moments what he should do. Their opponents were a small group of three people. He had no way of knowing if they were powerful, but that didn't seem to be the case.
Still, he had no way to fight against them after his ability had been used. And as he wondered how he would deal with the problem, one of the invaders knocked down the castle door with powerful punches, entering the place.
The loud sound woke Lara, who quickly blushed, realizing she had fallen asleep on the boy's lap. But she had no time to be shy, as she noticed the three enemies entering the main hall of the place.
She glanced at Davi, who seemed worried. That only helped confirm her suspicions: the boy probably had a class with limited uses per day, and that's why he couldn't fight. It also explained why he couldn't summon the bird after fighting earlier.
Also, it wasn't hard to notice that the strength he showed when defeating the trio who attacked them, and the strength he demonstrated when he had to carry her were completely different.
The only strange thing was that the increase in power shouldn't have been possible with a simple transformation or a basic buff ability.
That said, her priority was not to find out how Davi's powers worked. For now, she needed to deal with the problem that presented itself.
"You can't fight anymore, can you?" the girl asked but didn't wait for an answer, standing up and preparing for combat. "Don't worry, I'll take care of the rest."
Lara stepped forward, her gaze turning fierce, and her nails transformed into claws.
"Get out of here, now," she ordered in an imposing voice, nothing like her usual gentle tone.
Dog ears appeared on her head, along with a tail, as the muscles of her body seemed to grow. And in the next instant, she was standing before one of her enemies, easily landing a powerful punch to his stomach.
The impact of the punch echoed through the hall, and the invader fell heavily to his knees. The man gasped, clutching his stomach as he tried to process the unexpected attack.
It seemed that somehow, that punch had destroyed his insides, and unable to bear the excruciating pain, he gave up.
With a single blow, her opponent was defeated. It was inevitable that the two remaining invaders would watch in astonishment at the coin left behind on the ground. And when their eyes met the predator's gaze before them, the invaders froze.
"Who sent you?" she asked, her tone threatening, her eyes glowing with intensity.
One of the two remaining invaders activated their own transformation, not to attack, but to flee. However, before the woman could take three steps to escape, her head was slammed into the ground. Feeling her consciousness fading, she gave up just moments before passing out.
"W-We were just looking for a place to stay," the last of the invaders finally admitted, his expression filled with terror.
The girl's instincts confirmed that the man was telling the truth, so she refrained from asking more questions and planned to deliver a finishing blow, forcing the man to surrender.
However, before she could move to attack, she heard Davi asking her not to. She immediately stopped, letting him take the lead.
"What's your class and abilities?" the boy stepped forward and asked.
The invader didn't seem pleased about being forced to answer but, under Lara's fierce gaze, he didn't dare resist.
"I'm a summoner. My strongest abilities are Summoning, level 28, and Elemental Magic, level 31."
They weren't bad abilities, but they also weren't worth the risk. Having made up his mind, the man stepped forward and said:
"Okay, you can choose: do you want to surrender before or after taking a punch from her?"
And with that, they had collected three more coins. If things continued this way, maybe Lara could escape the test without ever having to face Luís.
However, the most pressing concern at the moment was what to say. Davi continued to think, but he couldn't come up with a good excuse for not fighting. However, he still wasn't sure if he should reveal the truth about his class.
Lara reverted her transformation and approached him with a gentle smile. "Your class is special too, isn't it?"
"Well, yes..." It was hard to claim there was anything normal about his powers.
"I see. Don't worry, I won't pressure you to tell me about it. I have my own secrets that I'd like to keep to myself," she said, averting her gaze. "Besides, while you're around, you can leave the fighting to me." She smiled lightly, unconsciously tilting her head toward Davi, almost inviting him to pat her.
"Ok, thanks," Davi said, obliging her silent request and gently patting her head.
"Where am I?" Aden, who looked confused and exhausted, finally interrupted the conversation as he entered the room.
