165.The Homunculus Attacks
Jake didn’t spare any time to corrupt the Orc Shamaness. It would be a waste not to taste her.
Actually, these orcs would fit better in his dungeon. They seemed more intelligent than the ones he bought from the system.
Jake had already claimed the entire tribe in his mind. With the shamaness under his grasp, the others would follow one way or another.
“Lead us to the 24th Floor,” Jake said, getting on top of Bella. Perry and Erin rode Ella.
“What about those humans, Venerable Earl?” Shel asked, pointing at the adventurers behind.
Jake turned his head and glanced at them briefly.
“They aren’t related to us,” he said. “You can do anything you wish. Though if they turn hostile, just say I own you from now on.”
The centaurs walked forward as the Orc Shamaness bowed, presenting her tattooed cleavage.
Ruxa knew the way down to the 24th floor. It was through an abandoned building in the orc village.
Going through the spiral staircase was difficult for the centaurs, but they managed to descend without tripping.
Every time Bella trotted forward, Jake’s pelvis would press Ruxa’s ass. Knowing that he liked the softness, she lifted her buttocks and leaned on his chest.
Erin looked at them with jealous eyes the whole time they descended downstairs.
After half an hour, the group finally left the black staircases and reached the 24th floor.
It was a dark area lit by dim red gems glowing on the ceiling. The land here seemed parched and unfertile.
“Ah~ Master…” Ruxa moaned as Jake fondled her breasts. “T-The monsters on this floor have been mostly cleared already…”
“The work of adventurers, isn’t it?” Jake squeezed her juicy melons.
“Yes, there is a city ahead…”
The centaurs began running again. The air in this floor got warmer the more they ran ahead.
The dim red crystals were replaced by bright blue ones. Some grasses began appearing on the ground below.
Jake focused his gaze ahead and saw a faint outline of a settlement. It had yellow brick walls and houses.
“So that’s Pitts Town.” Erin’s mouth watered as she thought of the various adventurers residing there.
She should’ve taken some bites from the earlier adventurers on the 23rd floor.
As they reached closer to the town ahead, Jake suddenly sensed something dangerous underground.
“Careful!” He warned everyone and told the centaurs to stop.
Boom!
Cracks burst open in the hard ground, startling Bella and Ella. Both twins raised their front legs and cried in panic, exhibiting horse-like behaviors.
Jake got off Bella’s back and flew up. He paid close attention to the human hand reaching out from one of the larger cracks.
“And… there!”
That sweet girly voice surprised everyone including Jake. However, the authentic aura of a 4th Circle being plastered seriousness back to his face.
He placed close attention to the young woman reaching out from the crack. As she shot herself out and landed safely, Jake frowned.
This young woman had a body which could only be described as the sculpture of human perfection. A face so beautiful, it reminded Jake of AI generated women.
He wasn’t bothered by her naked appearance, but something about her delicate-looking skin seemed off. Jake could hardly see any veins even with his enhanced sight.
“Who are you?!” Erin asked, getting into a battle position. She wasn’t afraid to fight this 4th Circle woman.
“Me? Ehe~ I’m Fiona and I am here to kill the demon-” The homunculus immediately backed away as a sharp Shadow Spear got pinned in her previous location.
“Ah, that looks painful…” The young woman bit her forefinger and innocently stared at the disappearing spear.
“But Fiona likes pain!” With an excited shout, the naked girl kicked the ground.
Huge cracks appeared again, and she instantly reached before Jake, who was in the air.
‘What?!’ Even he was surprised. Before his reflexes could act, a punch landed on his chest.
The fist of such a seemingly weak hand packed extreme power. Jake’s body, which he prided for his great physique, was plastered to the ground with that single punch.
A jolt of pain assaulted him from all ends. However, he suppressed the pain and patted the ground, quickly getting up.
”Daddy told me to kill you, so…” Mana gathered around the homunculus’ right hand, forming into a pink ball. Jake had a bad feeling about this.
”Die!”
A thick beam of raw magical energy shot from Fiona’s hand. Its intensity terrified even Erin. She worriedly glanced at her master, only to see that he was covered by a black spherical shield.
Jake didn’t know what type of attack it was. But thankfully, the versatile shield could block it. However, cracks were already beginning to appear on it.
Although Sphere of Darkness could block any type of attack, whether it be physical, mental or energy attack. It could still be broken through raw power.
Such was the case when he fought Ash Harley. The sphere could even defend against his holy attacks, which were fatal to creatures of evil alignment. But because the power behind that had gone farther than what the skill was capable of handling, it broke.
‘This isn’t good… Who the heck is this Fiona girl?’ Jake lifted his right hand and a large, dark scythe materialized quickly.
At the same time, his sphere of darkness suddenly faded with the sound of glasses breaking. This stunned Perry who had a pretty good grasp of her master’s powers.
She hurriedly began chanting and provided a buff to Jake.
Whoosh!
He blocked the pink beam with Black Reaper’s blade and kicked the ground, nearing the homunculus. Jake was racking his brains to find this naked young woman’s weakness.
He wanted to use [Demon Eye] to check her status, but any second of distraction could have him dead. A fight at the level of 4th Circle happened with instantaneous reactions.
”Back off, everyone!” He sent this order to the women through Magipathy. They quickly obeyed him, knowing that this wasn’t a fight they could interfere in.
Multiple booming sounds echoed in the floor as Jake and Fiona took the fight further away. He couldn’t help but think that this girl might be dumb. She wasn’t targeting his prime weakness, the women he came with.
”Die! Die! Why don’t you die already, demon?!” The homunculus threw tantrums like a child and kicked him powerfully.
Jake used Blood Control in reflex to stop the blood flow on her left leg. Still, the kick landed on his body. He tightly clenched on Fiona’s thigh as jolts of painful vibration passed through his body.
A cracked dent appeared on the ground and debris shot up.
Jake could feel his bones break as he resisted that attack. This woman had to have ridiculous strength. Some blood leaked from his mouth and his legs trembled.
He clenched his teeth, tasting iron… but suddenly, his tongue sent a disgustingly bitter taste.
”Sniff… Sniff… Why? Just why don’t you die?!” Fiona began crying as she saw the demon still standing.
Jake was caught off guard. It was so unexpected; he took a few good seconds to process just what was happening.
‘Now’s the chance!’ He quickly backed off from the naked girl and used [Demon Eye] on her.
