Cherreads

Chapter 4 - Blood, Fire, and a Kiss That Saved the Day

The air in the scorched land shimmered with heatwaves. Kuina and Mira stood facing each other, breathless, hair disheveled, clothes barely hanging on. They had clashed, kissed, scratched, moaned, and tested each other, and just as they were about to fall into a different kind of heat and

BOOM!

A thunderous quake split the earth beside them. Twenty towering men in obsidian armor emerged through the molten mist. Their bodies were muscle-bound, scarred from a hundred battles, eyes glowing with hate. Swords drawn. Spears leveled.

Kuina stumbled back, still panting from the rush of battle and lust. Mira's flames curled around her fists.

"Not now…" Mira hissed.

A voice echoed through the canyon, dry and metallic.

"You thought we wouldn't find you, filthy witches?"

And there he was, stepping forward in sleek black armor with bone runes etched across his chest, Namo. His face was cold, angular, emotionless. Eyes like daggers. His jet-black hair slicked back, and his gloved hand held a glowing chain.

"Kuina," he said, "you are the anomaly. You should not exist."

Kuina laughed breathlessly, defiant even when outnumbered. "You're hot, but damn you talk like a broken AI."

The system chimed in her ear, interrupting her smirk:

NEW MISSION UPDATE: Temporary Ally: Mira Objective: Defeat the 20 warriors of the Ashen Order Reward: +50 levels, Resurrection Magic

Mira raised an eyebrow. "You get bonuses from me?"

"Only when we kiss," Kuina winked.

The men charged. Mira blasted waves of fire, reducing three to cinders. Kuina danced between blades, her pink sword slashing, her hips twisting seductively as if every movement was choreographed to kill and arouse at once.

"Is she… fighting naked?" one of the men gasped as Kuina's spell blew his armor off.

"Oops," she purred, slicing his thigh. "You dropped your pants."

But they were too many. Too strong. And then came Namo.

With a flick of his fingers, dark vines shot from the ground, wrapping around Mira's arms and legs. A paralyzing aura swept the battlefield.

Kuina lunged, but her blade met his chain — and shattered.

"Not yet, little freak," he said. "You haven't earned the right to scream."

He slammed her into the earth. Her vision blurred. Mira screamed, trapped, her fire extinguished.

Namo didn't finish them. He looked down coldly.

"Bleed. I'll be back to collect your corpses."

He vanished into shadow, leaving the other men retreating like puppets.

Kuina tried to crawl, blood on her lips. Her level meant nothing. Her pride was broken.

Then came the wind.

Kylie descended from the sky, white hair glowing, black lips twisted in panic.

"Don't you fucking die on me!" she screamed.

She landed, summoned a healing aura, pressed her lips against Kuina's with a passion that melted every shard of pain.

Light exploded around them. Kuina's heart thundered.

Level Up: +12 Bonded Kiss: Unique Skill, Lover's Flame

Mira, still bound, watched in disbelief. Her cheeks flushed. Her lips parted.

Kylie turned to her, eyes sharp. "I don't hate you. But she's mine."

She kissed Mira on the cheek.

System Alert: New Mission: Travel to Kingdom of Eden Target: Lika, servant of the Sky King Objective: Recruit and seduce Reward: +100 levels and secret bonus Failure: Subject Kuina to torture sequence

Kuina blinked. "Torture?,Are you serious?"

But deep inside, she wasn't scared. Not really. She liked it. This world. This madness. This power. This love.

Kylie helped her stand. Mira followed quietly, flames dim.

"Let's find this Lika bitch," Kuina whispered. "But when I'm done... I'm going to fucking break Namo."

The screen faded to black.
