The Only Son Amongst The Daughters Of Eros

"Ugh! Ugh! Uhhh!"

That was Aeric's moans, not even Alzera's. He was putting in all of his strength into it. Thrusting her in such a rapid and vigorous manner that it increased his stimulus, bringing him to edge faster.

Alzera locked her hands around his neck and allowed him to pound into her with all his might. As much as he enjoyed Alzera's pussy, Aeric couldn't spare himself the time to savor it. He had to cum quickly and [Claim] her Main Skill then be on his way.

Finally, after many hard strokes and muffled moans, the notification finally appeared and Aeric quickly chose [Yes]!

He felt his cock juice pump all the way from his cock tube and splash into Alzera's womb with one thunderous thrust, causing her to clutch her mouth close with her mouth as she let out a wild scream, her eyes wide with shock.

Watching her experience the ecstasy of an orgasm, Aeric's crimson eyes darted quickly to the crumbled rocks surrounding them, his fingers twitching with restless energy.

He got on his feet and walked towards it, peeking through to see if the team was making any progress. Then, he turned toward Alzera, who was finally finding her composure and sitting up on a large piece of rubble, her hand gingerly resting on her side as she took deep breaths.

"I just remembered something," Aeric muttered, crouching in front of her. "We have to hurry. Come on!"

Alzera blinked up at him, startled. "What do you mean?"

"We need to help the others and clear the rocks now so we can meet up with them," he said briskly, brushing his dark hair out of his face. "My parents want me home early. They'll kill me if I'm late."

Alzera raised an eyebrow. "You're challenging a Dungeon. I'm quite sure they'll understand."

Aeric forced a grin, hoping it masked his unease. "They don't know about it. In fact, they're really against it and would be very unhappy if they found out."

"Oh," Alzera's gaze softened.

"Come on," Aeric tapped her gently. "Let's move." He stood and offered her a hand. She quickly took it, wincing slightly as he pulled her to her feet. Then she got dressed, inspecting the tear he had made between the legs and hoping it wouldn't be noticeable.

Aeric buckled his belt and adjusted his torn clothing, then together, they began moving the remaining rubble, Aeric working faster than her, though his gaze kept flicking toward the faint light filtering through the cracks above. He could feel the pressure of time, a gnawing sensation tugging at the back of his mind.

"Guys!" he called to them. "I'm done tending to Alzera's wound! Come on, let's get this thing down quickly!"

"Great work, Dagwood!" Kael said.

"Yeah, Dag! Well done. Together we could get it down faster."

And so, they all put their hands together, and after about five minutes, the whole obstruction was down. There was a lot of dust and sand.

By the time they emerged into the open, Kael, Bel, and Ryn were already waiting. Kael looked up and grinned. "There you two are. Took you long enough.

He looked at Alzera, noticing a nervous expression on her face. "Lady Alzera? Are you alright?"

"Mhm?" She lifted her brows. "Oh. I am fine. Dagwood took... great care of me."

"That's great to know." Kael smiled at Aeric.

Bel surprisingly enveloped Aeric in a hug. "It's good to see that you're alright, Dag!"

Aeric looked down at her, half-confused. *Thanks," he said. Then his eyes immediately shot to the entrance of the Lobby. His heart pounded with an urgency he couldn't shake. "We're here now," he said curtly. "Let's go."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Kael frowned. "Well you seem to be in a rush? By the way, what was all that noise back there?"

Aeric half froze. He glanced at Alzera who glanced back at him. Awkward.

Before Aeric could speak, Alzera quickly interjected, her voice slightly shaky and her face pink. "My ankle… I was injured. But I'm fine now." She gave a weak smile, her fingers clutching her arm tightly. "Once again, thanks to Dagwood."

Ryn sighed. "Alright then, Dagwood the mighty. Dagwood the praised. Can we get a move on now?"

Aeric couldn't help but agree with him, even though he was slightly offended. With a sharp tone, he said. "I agree. Miss Alzera is fine now. The MegaSquid is defeated, so let's move."

But as he took a step forward, Ryn called out, "Hold up." The slender man walked to the end of an edge and picked up two big brown bags. "You dropped these back there. The beast cores and supplies. You're the courier, remember? It's your job to keep a close eye on it. All the time."

Aeric glanced at Alzera, who nervously looked away. Then he forced himself to smile, though the delay grated on his nerves. "You are right. Thanks. Let's go."

"Not yet," Bel said, her voice brisk. She jumped high and landed on a small rock, then knelt by the massive corpse of the MegaSquid, her knife already in hand. "We haven't harvested the core yet. It'll only take a moment."

Aeric clenched his jaw as he watched her work, each careful incision feeling like an eternity.

He could feel the faint, rhythmic pulse of the Deadwatch on his mind, growing louder with each second, a countdown he couldn't ignore. His foot tapped impatiently against the stone floor, his crimson eyes burning a hole through the pathway ahead.

Bel finally stood, holding the glittering core triumphantly. "Got it. Now we're good."

"Finally! Can we go now?!" Aeric said and started walking, carrying the bags over his shoulders. The others scrambled to follow, a mix of curiosity and annoyance at his hurried pace.

"What's up with him?" Kael asked Alzera.

"He says his parents would be greatly angry and disappointed in him if he was to return home late," Alzera replied. "Apparently, they do not know that he's out challenging Dungeons."

Kael chuckled. "Oh yes! The age of youth! The time for rebellion. I truly miss those days."

Just a few moments after they disappeared into the next Lobby, Rosette, Misty, and Faeryn stepped into the cavern they'd just vacated. They all saw the devastation that was left — deep gashes in the walls, splattered beast blood, and the faint metallic tang of Divinity lingering in the air.

Rosette's sharp eyes scanned the space, noting the obstruction that was now cleared. She walked over to it, her boots crunching against the loose rocks.

"Hmm," she murmured, tilting her head as she examined the scene. "No one here either."
