My eyes blurred at the narrow pathway covered with countless black bricks shining under red Victorian street lanterns every few feet away.
I could finally see real colours, without [Eye of Sanguine] walking freely, and breathe without the shit particles in every breath. It felt odd.
Alya looked cuter, or how should I say… higher resolution? From my normal vision, sleeping peacefully, curled up in my arms.
[By being submissive, of course! I don't need to explain this stuff. Especially to someone like you. I know you… Which includes the things you got off to]
͡[° ͜ʖ ͡°]
"..."
Can we just remove the slave class? I asked through a shaking breath. Having someone, in particular, something like the system know your deepest secrets wasn't a good sensation. Not at all.
[Yes, it's possible to abandon {Slave} entirely, but you will lose five (Intelligence) points, leading to slower cognitive process, and rash, dumber decisions/choices. Blood control across your body will be significantly harder as well. But, you will gain five (Charisma) points.]
[Are you sure?]
'Ah, what the hell?!'
I obviously declined. It's no hurry. I can do it later. I shook my head while focusing on my hearing; they were in a formation. Four people in front, five people in the rear, and everyone else in the center, splitting their focus across all directions.
Thum! Thum!
Rhythmic beating of what sounded like a stick hitting the ground reverberated every second too; it was placed in the hands of the guard in the center. Must be something important.
[If you really don't like the Slave class (Which I still suggest you level up with Alya) you can change it to a secondary class, and focus on leveling [criminal] more. Amount of exp, and level speed and quality improve immensely for primary classes.
I nodded to myself, I need something like criminal more in the state I am.
[Primary class: Criminal: Lvl 1 40/560]
[Secondary class:
Slave: Lvl 1
2. XXX
3. XXX]
[New (Criminal) skill unlocked: (Whisker paws - Lvl 1]: Allows the user to control their limbs perfectly, improves flexibility, and allows for small intervals of physical bursts, like a quick dash, or a really high jump. This means no fall damage aswell.]
'...Like a cat?'
My lips curled upwards in a wide smirk. I felt my body grow even more flexible, I could sense it, every joint on my body, and probably could lick my own back…
I am definietly just gonna level criminal up! This shit was just too op. (And… Err, easy to level up.)
Perhaps sensing the aggressive, sprinting footsteps, Alya tightened her legs around my waist, squeezing my waist with all her strength. It was painful.
I didn't hate it.
Not at all.
Something in between my legs even liked it.
With a deep breath, my face turned serious as I walked forward—straight towards their sound.
I just noticed that the lanterns had a weird smell to them, like… flowers. They have scented lanterns, in a prison's teryifyingly mysterious, narrow hallway?
Weird aesthetic choice, but I liked it. With a blink, I turned on [Eye of Sanguine] again.
I can't help but think my plan was risky, but avoiding risk wasn't an option. Evade those cautious guards somehow and then disguise myself as one of the men, then just run out.
Simple and doable, just that it was doable purely in theory.
I sighed, I can't just barge in on them. But there weren't any. Maybe I can just hang on the roof, and hope they won't check it?
Sounds stupid. They are looking for me.
But perhaps they'd wanna get to their boss first? I thought, punching the burning lantern to darkness. The entire foot of surface went dark.
Like, I'd imagine that rich hag mentioned Sue's situation, and they'd naturally wanna save their boss. They could even be thinking that there's no way things went that far. But that was just wishful thinking on my part. If they were even 1% professionals, they would have walked assuming the worst.
I shook my head, punching another lantern—
THAMMM!
Rubble flew all around as the entire brick wall cracked, darkening three lanterns. I sighed, realising I created a big ass hole on the entire wall.
Controlling my strength was still a bit difficult.
But… My face wore an evil grin, leaping further towards the lighted lanterns and
THAMM!
Punched it with all my strength. This time, more than ten lanterns were dimmed.
I smiled proudly, ignoring the bricks from even roof falling all around.
This was a fair trade. They would guess I escaped from all this damage, and search for me, but with so many blind spots, without [Eye of Sanguine] it would be impossible to find me in one corner of the roof, from where I could patiently crawl through using my stealth. I smirked, repeating the same action 20 more times.
Taking a few turns, and getting closer and closer to them, so close that they might've even heard my ruckus
With a focused gaze, I squatted, gripping Alya's smooth, big thighs tightly.
Pushing energy across my legs, I jumped with all my strength, using [whisker paws] burst as well (Mostly to test it) and… instantly regretted it. My head was about to slam against the wall at what felt like 80km/h on a fast bike. I reached over fifteen feet high in a blur, almost instantly.
But for a single millisecond, it felt as if time was a hundred times slower. I raised one of my arms straight, right ahead of me, definitely in a position of breaking in pieces, but…
Nothing happened.
I clenched my fists, grabbing the rock as my fingers dug into its firm texture like it was made of clay.
[Whisker paws]
This skill killed fall damage.
My entire body trembled as the intense force was spread across all my bones in sharp electric shocks.
Without wasting another second, I extended my other hand, trusting Alya to hold on to me with that strong grip of her thighs, and dug it into the stone as well.
After adjusting my hands, my left hand went back on Alya's lower back, brushing against her soft love handles. They weren't like fat people love handles, but what came naturally with curves such as hers.
Wait, why in the hell am I thinking about this stuff right now…?
After confirming the guard's position with my boiling hot eyes again, I explored the stone 'surface'.
It was honestly crazy to just lift seventy kgs and jump that high, then crawl like a spider on stone walls with pure strength.
I mean, it did hurt like hell, my forearms were burning, and my head hurt with all the sweat, both Alya's and mine, covering everything on my face, back, chest, and long hair that was also sticking to my face, and irritating my eyes from time to time. Drenching both my sexy, evil-looking robe and pants wet. So wet that it felt like I had dipped fully in a pool multiple times.
After waiting a few more minutes, in the center part of where I cut all the lanterns, the sound was finally loud enough to hear without any enhanced senses.
Tham! Tham!
