367 - 373

Chapter 367 - Warning Others By Making Examples of A Few

Murong - the infamous half-beast and half-human - was killed. The only traces of his existence were the pieces of blood and flesh splashed on the street and the people nearby.

Perhaps his skeleton could also count, but as Kiba took a step over it, a crunching sound ringed out, and the skeleton disintegrated into a fine powder.

Over twenty people were in the area. Just a few moments ago, their eyes were filled with naked greed and they envied Murong's luck as he pounced on Kiba. But now, after seeing Murong's fate and their own stained body, they rejoiced in their hearts.

There was a complete pin drop silence as Kiba slowly stepped forward. He stretched a hand and filaments of white light concentrated above his palm. The filaments concentrated to converge into a jelly-like crystalline ore.

It was translucent and colorless, despite the fact that glowing particles were flowing through it. The fluctuations emitted by the ore were pure and serene, like a newborn baby.

The onlookers gasped in surprise. They knew its name even though it was the first time they were seeing it.

Body Molding Ore.

How could they not know its name, after all, it was the reason for the death of Murong and their initial greed.

The ore was absolutely beautiful and dazzling. The moment they saw it, every part of their consciousness erupted with a desire to own it.

Such was the allure of the ore and its properties.

Despite the strong desire, not a single person dared jump to steal it.

Kiba swept his gaze over everyone, but no one dared make eye contact with him. They even didn't focus on the ore.

"I seem to recall many of you showing a strong interest in it," Kiba said as the ore flew out of his hand and moved forward.

It floated in front of the man who had initially pointed out Kiba and his role in the auction robbery.

As he saw the orb soaring in front of him, emitting a dazzling presence, the man's mouth turned dry and his knees started trembling.

He regretted his actions and wished he was born mute.

"Come on, take it," Kiba encouraged him with a warm smile.

The man was at the beginning of Beta-rank, and usually, he would grab anything he wanted regardless if it was owned or not. That was his attitude and he wouldn't care a bit if others whined or begged.

But now, much less grab the ore, the man didn't even dare move. He didn't want to do anything that might send a wrong signal and loose his poor life.

The vibrant glow from the ore swept on his face but he continued to stand like a statue; praying the ore would go away.

"Haah~ Here I thought you were really in need of it," Kiba said with a sigh. "Oh well... if you don't want it..."

The ore flew away from the man's body. The man's eyes brightened and he took a breath in relief, but just then, his heart thumped violently.

Even before he could realize what was going on, his body exploded into a pile of blood and flesh.

The people nearby turned ashen as the grisly liquid blotched over them. Till now, they were relieved as they felt they were safe. Now, they realized the safety was just in their minds.

The scythe of the grim reaper was still hanging over their heads...

In the meantime, the ore - which was as small as a baby's fist - appeared in front of a bulky man with wrinkles.

It was him who reminded people the other treasures Kiba robbed besides the ore.

The bulky man was horrified and even before he could blink, the ore landed in his right hand. His eyes crawled with threads of blood as if he was carrying a lump of burning coal. Judging from his expression, no one would believe his hand was grasping a treasure envied by countless.

The bulky man didn't know what to do. Thousands of thoughts ran in his mind like wild horses.

Should he return it back?

But if he did return, then would his fate be the same as the man before?

"Ah! So you do want the ore!" Kiba's voice entered his ears like an avalanche.

"N-no! I don't want it!" The bulky man instantly screamed his answer.

"Huh? But then it is in your hand and you are grabbing it rather tightly," Kiba replied in confusion.

The bulky man's face paled and he opened his hand to throw away the ore, but much to his terror, his hand wasn't opening.

It was as if his fingers were glued to the core.

Large beads of sweat dripped from his eyebrows and fell in his eyes, causing a burning sensation, but he ignored the pain. All his focus was on opening his hand and toss the deathly item.

Veins protruded out of his neck and face as he applied great strength to free his fingers without any success.

"My fingers are stuck! But please know I don't want it!" The bulky man shouted.

"Really?"

Kiba's tone denoted that he believed him. This eased the tension the bulky man was feeling.

"Let me help," Kiba stepped in front of him. He took the bulky man's hand in his, and opened a finger with negligible force.

The bulky man was so happy that tears began flowing out of his eyes but just as his one finger opened, the finger exploded into chunks of flesh and bone.

He screamed but more agony followed as his other fingers similarly exploded as they left the ore.

"Huh? What happened to your fingers?" Kiba asked as he grabbed the orb back and looked at the bulky man's bloody hand.

"Nothing happened, sir," The bulky man didn't dare blame him. "They didn't deserve to exist after tainting this priceless treasure."

"If you say so," Kiba nodded and left.

The bulky man suppressed the pain and prayed no more misfortune would follow. Perhaps the gods listened to his wish as he saw Kiba disappearing at the end of street.

"Phew!"

He was under so much stress that he was on verge of a heart attack. But now, his heart calmed down and he prayed to the god for the first time.

"Thank you, god!"

Just as he thanked god, his body blasted into pieces.

The onlookers felt a chill crawling up their spines and their bodies turned cold. Many of them even wet their pants, and an unpleasant smell appeared...

On another street, Kiba strolled around while admiring the beautiful village. He took out a cigarette and lit it up with a spark of fire from his fingertip.

He took a long drag and exhaled a wisp of silver-grey smoke. He watched as the smoke disappeared in thin air.

Earlier, he killed Murong and those two men in order to warn others. While he enjoys toying around, after a while, he was tired and rather bored.

He knew his goals and the core region was just about to open up. He didn't want to face more idiots later on just because they believed he was an easy target. Till now he had a lot of time to spare but not any longer.

After what he did, the news would spread, and most likely stop others from acting on their greed...

Kiba enjoyed the sweet toxin of the cigarette as he walked further.

Chapter 368 - This Is Misunderstanding!

Kiba slowly smoked while enjoying the sight of the village. He saw everything that was to see and tossed the cigarette butt.

"There is only one interesting place," Kiba thought of the black pagoda. "If it is what I'm thinking it is... then sooner or later, a disaster would strike the world... a mass scale extinction."

Kiba didn't really care much about the fabled Guardian Spirit supposedly existing in the pagoda. It was none of his business and neither was caring about the purpose of pagoda's existence.

Every day, throughout the world, thousands of people died. Many of them might be natural deaths but a good portion were unnatural deaths... murders out of greed, envy, anger, or lust.

Throughout history, humans have killed more humans than any disaster, famine, plague or foreign race.

So, from his perspective, more humans dying at the hands of other race, or a mystic existence, hardly mattered.

He wasn't really cruel or cold-hearted but he only helped others when he felt like it. This was rather evident from the way he lived his life.

Kiba shook his head and turned around. He walked back to the starting area of the village to join Ashlyn.

He swept his perception out and discovered Ashlyn in a camp house. He stepped towards the house but then stopped as he discovered an eighteen years old around her.

"Young pervert."

Kiba stopped in his path. As much as he liked playing with her, now he was not in the mood to face her.

He decided to find another temporary rest house. It was just a matter of night anyways so there was no big issue.

"Esteemed guest," A voice came from some distance away.

He looked in the front and noticed a middle-aged man with a respectful smile.

"I'm Sanchez," He introduced himself. "The chief of this village."

"Nice to meet you," Kiba said.

"I wish to invite you to my humble abode," Sanchez stated his intentions.

Earlier, he has learned what happened to Half-human Murong and the other two mutants. He was deeply stunned when he was informed they were killed without Kiba even moving a finger.

Naturally, along with fear and reverence, he felt an urge to make friendly relations with him. He was aware it was less than 24 hours before the core region would open up, and so, he wanted to make the best use of time, and impress the guest.

As the village chief, he was under constant pressure. The more guests arrived, the higher the burden on the village and its people. Alas, he or the villagers weren't strong enough to refuse hospitality to the mutant guests.

"If only those two stayed in the village... we wouldn't be living in such a manner," Sanchez bitterly thought in his heart.

For the time being, he suppressed all his thoughts and invited Kiba to his house.

Kiba accepted his invitation, and soon, they arrived in a rather spacious wooden house. There were no chairs in the living room; only carpets on the floor. The room was truly plain with no modern amenities besides an old fireplace where logs were burning.

The light in the room was from the fireplace and the moonstones embedded in the ceiling. A soft glow was radiating out of them, brightening the place.

"Esteemed guest, I shall get a chair," Sanchez said.

"No need," Kiba didn't mind and he sat down in lotus position. "This is enough."

Sanchez visibly relaxed and smiled in relief.

"Esteemed guest, please consider it as your home and relax," Sanchez said while placing cushions against the wall for Kiba's comfort.

"Consider it as my home?" Kiba mused with a smile.

Back in Delta City, when he was engaging in affairs with wives of others, he would treat homes of the husbands as his own.

He would freely use all the facilities including bedding the wives on their marital beds. For him, that was truly considering others home as his own.

He wasn't the type to live in the past so he cleared his thoughts, and asked, "You don't live with your family?"

Sanchez shook his head and answered, "Decades ago, I swore to not marry nor have a family. The villagers are my family."

His voice contained pride at the sacrifice he has done for the sake of his fellow villagers.

"Oh!" Kiba was dejected and his expression turned downcast.

Sanchez was bewildered by his reaction. He was expecting words of praise or an impressed reaction, and not disappointment and sadness.

"Why do I feel that he is far sad than me for not having a wife and a family?" Sanchez thought to himself.

Kiba rested his back against and the cushions. Just then, the door of the living room opened up, and a woman with caramel skin tone stepped in. She was carrying a tray upon which a teacup and kettle were placed.

"Graciana," Sanchez signaled her to proceed.

Graciana has silky chestnut hair draped over her shoulders. She was in mid-thirties with a gorgeous body and seductive curves.

As she walked further in, Kiba swept a glance at her, and instantly, he judged her figure as 34DD-28-35.

She has a pair of luscious breasts that were confined by tight linen over her chest.

In the village, most villagers wore animal skin and their sense of modesty was different from civil society.

This was evident in Graciana.

Her delicious milky cleavage was on display and so were her glistening, soft legs.

With each step, her calf muscles and butt stood out splendidly. Her assets could definitely give city women run for their money.

"Esteemed guest, please try our village special green tea," Graciana said in a soft and sweet tone. She leaned her chest down as she placed down the tray on the carpet.

As she filled the cup with energizing tea, emitting delicious fragrance, the swells of her breasts shrouded Kiba's face.

She lifted her head up as she raised her arm to hand him the tea. The seductive smile on her face turned stiff and her body tensed as she brought her eyes on him.

At the same time, Sanchez's pupils constricted and he began sweating. He was shell-shocked as he saw the expression on Kiba's face.

It was filled with anger.

"Are you trying to charm me?" Kiba's voice thundered aloud.

Graciana was startled. She felt she was truly attractive and could make him fall for her. As a beauty, she has confidence in her seductive skills.

Normally, she wouldn't seduce an unknown guest but given his strength and handsome facial features, she was ready when the village chief requested her. It was the first time he made such a request to her, and after seeing him from a distance, she agreed.

After all, in the forest, only the strong got the right to deserve riches. It didn't matter if it was a man or a woman.

If you have strength, you deserved everything.

Both the village chief and Graciana felt he would be pleased to see her offering him her body in such a charming way.

"S-sir, you misunderstood," Sanchez hastily said.

He knew there existed firm-hearted and strong-willed mutants who would look at such actions with contempt.

Judging from his voice and expression, there was no doubt he was that type of man.

"Misunderstanding?" Kiba raised a hand and slapped Graciana's tight ass. "Are you saying you are not offering me this soft butt?"

Graciana was too lost for words to respond. His slap on her butt cheeks came out of the blue; making her ass wriggle in a painful sensation.

"Am I misunderstanding?" Kiba asked while again slapping her ass.

This time along with pain, she felt a bit of pleasing sensation as a rosy hand was imprinted over her cheeks.

"N-no," Sanchez didn't know how to respond. His mind was in a mess as he tried to make sense of this situation.

Was the esteemed guest offended or pleased?

No!

Given his strength, he is definitely offended! Otherwise, he wouldn't act in such a manner!

"You are saying no?" Kiba grunted in contempt. He then moved his eyes on Graciana and squeezed her round ass.

It was both soft and tight; radiating an ecstatic sensation.

"What do you have to say?" Kiba asked her. He placed the tea aside by telekinetic force and pulled her onto his lap.

Graciana let out a soft gasp. Her rosy cheeks tingled with a delightful sensation as she felt something really hard and long poking out.

Her eyes turned wide in disbelief as she felt the heat pulsing from the raging hardon.

"This....!" She was amazed by the extraordinary size she was feeling.

Kiba was in no mood to care about her surprise. With the same tone, he asked, "Are you here to seduce me? Answer me!"

Graciana gulped down.

She didn't know the right answer, and was still trying to think of a response, when he turned her body towards him.

Then without any warning, he planted his face between her milky white cleavage. She arched her back as his hands arrived on the sides of her breasts, pushing them onto his face.

The linen on her chest was thin and offered no resistance as her firm breasts pressed onto him. She was stunned by the gentle caressing her soft pillows were receiving as they massaged his face.

A current ran through her as his lips touched her skin. His mouth embraced her glistening cleavage with kisses.

A few moments later, just as she regained some clarity and suppressed the feelings erupting in her, the linen wrapping her breasts disappeared.

"Do you want to entice me with these milky buns?"

Chapter 369 - Great Hospitality

Sanchez looked with wide eyes at the scene playing before him.

Just some ten steps away, on the floor, Kiba has his back against the wall. On his lap, Graciana was sitting, her breasts bare.

Just a moment ago she felt the linen around her chest disappearing. She was sure it wasn't some ability, but rather the magic of his hands. It was like his fingers have mastered the art of removing clothes with least possible efforts.

Kiba cupped her wonderfully soft breasts, and rubbed his thumbs over the chocolatey-brown circles around her nipples. Not a single bump on her areola passed his expert scrutiny.

Whether it was texture, the softness, the firmness, or everything else, her tits were perfect.

"Do you want to entice me with these milky buns?" Kiba asked.

Graciana was too stunned to answer. Everything so far has been beyond her expectations; not at all how she expected the events to unfold.

Without waiting for her answer, he lowered his lips on her left nipple. He blew out a fresh breath of air on her nipple, and as he did, goosebumps flowered on her vibrant skin.

Then, slowly, he took her nipple between his lips.

He kissed and sucked her nipple while slowly fondling her tits. They were a handful, and felt truly amazing as they pressed on his face as he moved between her nipples.

He was like a starved child whose hunger could be only extinguished by the rosy nipples. He marked them with his teeth as he sucked on them.

In between, his fingers masterfully squeezed her firm breasts. Her breasts started swelling and Graciana couldn't help but part her lips to moan softly.

A current ran through her as he swept his tongue out, rolling over her nipples.

"You think I will fall for these firm tits?"

Kiba asked as his mouth parted from her breasts. Graciana gave a light nod, thinking of the hardness and pulsing heat she was feeling from below.

Kiba didn't notice her nod. By now, his fingertips tugged down the clothing hiding her round, tight ass.

Slap!

Graciana wriggled as he playfully slapped on her ass cheeks. He then cupped them and felt the wonderful sensation.

"Are you perhaps relying on these buttery cheeks?"

Kiba has his suspicion on her tight ass that was carved into perfection. To confirm, he shoved her back on the carpet and she let out a surprised gasp.

She was now lying on the carpet with her legs raised. He gripped her hips and pulled her ass cheeks close to him.

Her ass wriggled as if inviting him. He slapped again on those perfectly round cheeks, making her quiver, and felt the delightful skin between his hands.

Kiba was a breast man but still, when he saw a perfect ass, he couldn't just turn around. That would be insulting to a work of art, something he could never do.

He slapped her cheeks a few more times before rubbing them. The sensation was magnificent not only for Kiba but also for Graciana.

He could smell her light scent of arousal as a sweet aroma like honey trailed out. As soon as her scent entered his nostrils, his face was covered with wild lust.

He put her ass back on the carpet and brought his eyes on the one true paradise. Below a well-trimmed bush, there was a pink rosebud from which a crimson slit began, covered by fleshly folds.

Graciana's face flushed with warm blood as he kneeled and lowered his head between her legs. Her slender legs rested on his shoulders as he admired the most beautiful scenary in existence.

He leaned in further and nuzzled his nose between the neat, trimmed hair while his lips came dangerously closed to her hidden slit. The scent of her arousal was delightful, and a thirst built up inside him.

"This is heaven! The cause of so many disasters!"

He spread her pussy lips wide open and his eyes glinted as he savored the amazing view. He flicked his tongue on her clit before sucking it between his lips.

Strong, firm-hearted and determined people only kneeled in front of their parents and no one else, not even gods. That was both filial pity and pride.

But for Kiba, there was only one time he would kneel, and that was now. The pussy of a woman was the only thing that deserved his respect in this fashion.

And now, the wonderful feast was waiting for him.

Ever so slowly, he slipped his tongue through her vaginal foldings and swirled around, tasting her sweet juices.

Graciana ran her fingers wildly into his hair and pinned his face to the entrance to heaven. The heat from her heaven flushed his face with a warm glow.

He twirled the tip of his tongue into a circular motion, teasing her in between. The actions of his mouth were a mixture of licking, sucking, and eating her pussy.

She cupped her breasts and pinched her nipples as he continued between her soft wet folds. She arched her back for better access, allowing his mouth to enjoy her pretty, wet pussy.

Kiba ate her till sensuous pleasure erupted deep inside her.

"Uuuuoooo!" She cooed in euphoria.

Her pussy swelled and convulsed with such intense passion that she let out a shuddering moan. She felt she was as light as a feather; soaring through the firmament.

As the sensation subsidized, he grabbed her hips tightly and jumped on his feet. She was startled as she found her back locked against the wall; his lips closing to hers.

"Mmm..."

As their lips met for a kiss, and her breasts pressed onto his chest, she was dazed as if a bolt of lightning has struck her.

She brought her arms around his neck and closed her legs around his hips as she responded to his kiss.

No words were necessary for two animals in heat.

She tasted her own sweet juice from his lips. As he pushed his tongue out, she eagerly parted her lips and allowed him to explore her. His tongue rolled on hers before interweaving into each for a duel.

He moved his right hand at the small of her back to grip her properly while his other hand moved between her legs. He ran his fingers against her slit, and her essence lubricated him with glistening juices.

She let out a moan with her mouth closed to his. A tremor ran through her body as he inserted a finger into her pussy, and now, she kissed him fiercely.

Saliva dripped down from their lips and pearls of her essence streamed down from between her legs.

They both huffed as they ran out of breaths, and finally, their lips parted. Her arms and legs left his body and she placed her feet on the floor.

As she took a breath, he put his fingers coated with her essence between his lips and felt her taste stronger than ever. It was sweeter than honey, absolutely delightful, like a fresh lily.

She leaned closer and sucked his fingers in her mouth.

"Surely you don't think this is enough to entice me?" Kiba asked.

"No, this isn't even remotely enough," Graciana agreed with a seductive smile. As she did, her earlier boldness and charm returned.

Her hands moved on his shirt as she felt rather unfair that she was the only one naked.

"His body is divine!"

Graciana thought as she fully unbuttoned his shirt. Her eyes were filled with excitement as she admired his muscular chest and powerful shoulders.

Her fingers slowly traced his ripped six-pack before arriving on his pants. She opened the hook and unzipped his pants down.

His erect cock sprang on her face; shrouding her with extraordinary grith and length. A tingling sensation passed through her lower body as her hands wrapped around his cock.

"This is real!"

She gasped in shock as she confirmed the dimensions she felt earlier. The pulsating heat and the thickness of the mushroom head made her cheeks turn into a shade of crimson.

Her eyes were glued on the veins proudly stranding out in the enormous cock.

Sanchez, in the meantime, was sent flying out of his own house. He cursed his poor luck to miss out on such a brazen display of sex.

"Old pervert, she isn't your wife that you are taking voyeuristic pleasure," Kiba's voice entered his mind as the door shut tightly. "Marry a hot woman, and then you can see all you want."

"?!?"

Inside the room.

Graciana and Kiba were finally in privacy. She gripped his shaft and slapped it on her face.

His cock stiffened with excitement as her soft flesh rubbed against him one after another. His raging hardon pulsed with more heat and under her disbelief eyes, she saw him grow further.

She further noticed precum oozing out on the surface of his cock.

"I'm sure I can truly entice you, esteemed guest," Graciana said confidently as she brought her lips close to him.

She swept her tongue out and licked the tip of his cock. She then retraced her tongue and tasted the sticky layer of precum. The salty, but sweet and refreshing taste made her further turned on.

She opened her mouth and enveloped the cock head.

As Kiba felt her warm lips on his cock, a current of pleasure ran through his spine. It was electrifying to his senses as she took more of his cock into her mouth.

She bobbed up and down his shaft while her hands rubbed his balls. She increased her pace; her mouth quickly moving up and down his cock. As she did, saliva dripped down along with threads of precum.

A few minutes later, as she felt him reaching close to relax, she let his cock slip out of her mouth. A thread of sticky precum and saliva connected his tip to her chin.

She rolled her tongue out and licked the thread away. She then pumped his shaft through her hands while she took his balls in her mouth.

The warmth of her mouth was exquisite and by the time she freed his balls, they were dripping with her saliva.

She then moved her tongue up for a slow lick. Her tongue trailed on the lower side of his thick cock before kissing the head.

Her lips broke contact with his cock, and she lifted her head up, and brought her eyes on him.

Graciana wanted to ask how he felt, but before she could, he pushed her on the floor.

"Ah!"

Graciana gasped in surprise. He pulled her legs up onto his chest and rubbed the tip of his cock on her wet entrance.

She was stunned but invited him. She slightly leaned her chest up and brought a hand over her pussy lips. She parted them, and slowly, his mushroom head slid into her. His first stroke was gentle as he pushed his shaft into her warm and slick pussy, inch by inch.

"Oooohhhh God! You are huge!"

A moan escaped her mouth and she trembled as he reached her depths.

He began hammering his cock in and out of her soaking pussy. Her vaginal muscles gripped around his shaft, rippling with an incredible sensation.

She has never felt so full and good.

His thrusts were turning from gentle to wild, backed by a powerful force. As he picked up the pace, her screams of ecstasy increased.

Her back arched and she squealed.

"Ohhh yes!!!!!"

Slippery sounds ringed out along with sounds of flesh hitting flesh. His balls slapped on her ass and she wriggled in pleasure as he drove harder and harder.

They both moaned as they fucked like rabbits without caring for anything. There was no love or emotions involved except for lust.

With each stroke, as he would close into her, she would see the raging lust and bliss. It washed her senses with ecstasy, and her muscles tightened onto his cock.

As her slippery muscles squeezed around his cock, they would coat him with more of her juices, lubricating him.

A few minutes later, he gripped her by the waist and stood up. She pierced her nails into his shoulders and closed her legs around him.

Slowly, with his hands now on her ass cheeks for support, his cock head spread her vaginal lips and pushed into her tight pussy.

He fucked her frantically upwards into her deepest depths, and her shrieks of pleasure blended right with the sounds of the strokes.

Her firm breasts rubbed onto his muscular chest. As he rammed hard into her, he kissed on her slender neck.

Sweat precipitated out of their bodies like crazy but their lust showed no sign of ending. Her nipples pressed tightly against his chest as he slammed into her.

The room was filled with sex and screams of ecstasy. Her slippery muscles swept out intense vibration motions as he continued to penetrate further.

She groaned and moaned more loudly as she reached her limit.

"Oh... my... god! Yesss!".

Her arms gripped around him, and he felt her fine hairs standing up. Her eyes turned unfocused and she began to tremble uncontrollably.

An intense wave of orgasmic pleasure swept through every corner of her body. She shut her eyes and clung to him tightly as the climax left her in a heavenly state.

Her pussy tightened and clenched around his shaft, and he lost control. He growled and his balls tightened as he reached on brink of explosion.

His cock pumped load after load of cum deep into her.

Kiba collapsed on a carpet with Graciana on top. They both huffed and breathe violently under the orgasmic bliss.

A few minutes later, Graciana regained some strength, and opened her eyes. Her eyes focused on him and saw him looking back at her.

"Esteemed guest, how was it?" Graciana asked.

Personally, she never had a better time in her entire life.

"Good, but let's not waste our energy in talking," Kiba said as he rolled her and brought himself on the top.

Her eyes widened and mouth fell open as she felt his throbbing hardon resting against her belly.

He has already recovered and ready for another round?!

"I...I'm still sensitive and sore! Ahhh!" Graciana didn't get time to complain as her voice turned into a moan.

This time, Kiba wanted to try other positions and experience hospitality in every possible way. Her body melted into his as they blended into lust...

...

Around an hour later.

Kiba stepped out of the room. His body was filled with exhaustion but there was a euphoric smile on his face.

"Phew~ That was so much fun."

Kiba made a grasping motion and a cup arrived in his hand. It was filled with energizing green tea Graciana has brought earlier. He has made sure the tea remained hot and fresh as he concentrated on the most important dream of his life.

Pleasure of the flesh.

For him, seeking pleasure was his way of living life to the fullest.

And this was something even more important when he has responsibilities to find a cure for one of the few people whom he truly cared about.

If there was someone else in his place, he/she would mostly be cold and aloof throughout the task; drowning in sorrow...burdend by responsibilities.

But not Kiba.

It wasn't just because he was aware of the psychological consequences of such a negative mentality.

Nor for the fact that a gloomy man can achieve nothing except for destruction.

No, for him the reason was entirely something else.

Resentment .

Agatha has reminded him of the effects that might have on his life. 1 This was why he would never abstain or change his way of life in the name of others.

"Who said you can't enjoy just because life is of negatives? No ones know if afterlife or reincarnation exists... maybe they are as real as True Immortality.

"So why waste life in sorrows when you have chances of living in happiness, even if it is for a brief time?"

Kiba mused as he sipped the tea. He was walking on the veranda when he detected Sanchez.

"You are a good host," Kiba said with a smile. "Loved the hospitality you provide."

After saying this, he sat down on the ground and looked at the setting sun.

Sanchez didn't say anything. He stepped into the house to bring some instruments. Just as he entered the hall, he was struck on the floor.

He was left dumbfounded as he looked at Graciana who was sleeping on a carpet. Her silky chestnut hair was in a mess.

His throat turned dry with uncomfortable soreness as his eyes focused on her face.

The first line that came in his mind after seeing her sleeping expression was:

She has been fucked senseless!

Even though she was wrapped with a blanket, he could see wet stains on both her and the floor. The smell of sex from her was truly intense.

"This...!" Sanchez was speechless.

It was her who was supposed to left Kiba senseless by her charm, but his devilish pole has spent her to such an extent that she fell unconscious.

Chapter 112

Chapter 370 - Guardian Spirit?

In the veranda outside the village chief's house.

Kiba sat on the ground while drinking tea. In front of him was the village chief - Sanchez who has a strange expression on his face.

"So what do you want?" Kiba asked while placing the cup down.

"Huh? No, sir, I don't want anything," Sanchez quickly clarified so that Kiba doesn't misunderstand his intent behind the hospitality.

"Really? I never knew selfless people like you existed," Kiba lied down on the floor with his hands behind his head.

Sanchez was at loss for words. He indeed wanted to curry a favorable impression by providing a high-class welcome. It didn't go as per his plans but he still wanted to achieve his goal.

"The village is in a crisis," Sanchez bitterly said. "The river streams are turning dry, and with every year, the adventurists are turning more violent. I'm afraid the village would soon be on verge of extinction."

Kiba was startled.

"What about Guardian Spirit?" Kiba asked. From what he has heard, the adventurists didn't dare go overboard in the village due to pagoda's fear.

"Guardian Spirit offers no real protection to us," Sanchez stated the truth. He wouldn't have if not for knowing everything Kiba has done from the time he entered the village; including giving herbs to the villagers who welcomed him.

Kiba's eyebrows raised up.

"A little over a century ago our village was established," Sanchez began the history. "Our ancestors were adventurers ... I don't know why but they founded the village around the pagoda. For years, they served the venerable existence in the pagoda. Their descendants carried the tasks, and in the process, the village grew to its present scale."

"What tasks exactly? And why would you do it if you are getting no protection or benefits?" Kiba asked with a curious expression.

"I'm not at liberty to disclose the task. We did receive some protection otherwise the village wouldn't have survived. But around a few years ago, the venerable existence whom we call Guardian Spirit no longer needed our help..."

"Oh!" Kiba nodded in understanding.

The Guardian Spirit needed village before so it protected the villagers from the greed and lust of adventurers. Now, the Guardian Spirit has no such use so obviously no help. This meant that if others learned of this secret, then a life and death crisis would unfold.

"The village is built upon Profound Energy Jademine so you are really in a messy situation," Kiba said with a sigh.

Sanchez's pupils constricted.

"Y-you know?" Sanchez was terrified. It was a secret known to very few even from outsiders. And outsiders won't share it with others in fear of them taking advantage of information.

"Yeap," Kiba nodded as if it was something obvious. "Your only alternative is migrating."

Sanchez ruefully smiled.

Migration was easier said than done. They lived close to the center of the forest, surrounded by dangerous flora and fauna. And even if they could leave the forest by some miracle, where would they go?

"Now answer my first question," Kiba said while observing the starry sky. He found them really bright and beautiful tonight.

He wondered if it was due to the fact that it was his last night under this sky.

In the core region, if his guess was right, there would be a completely different world, isolated from Earth's environment. It was something he guessed long before Eva, Emily, and others confirmed.

"I wondered if you could provide us with some weapons or defense items," Sanchez respectfully replied. "We will offer power jades and energized pearl---"

He was still in the middle of thinking when the space around him flickered. Under his disbelief eyes, rays of white light flashed and converged into laser guns, bombs, and shields.

"Consider it as a payment for mine and Ashlyn's stay," Kiba got back on his feet and stepped out.

These items were something he retrieved from a few of the unlucky guys who confronted him.

Generally, he was never interested in items of others given how rich he was. Yet he retrieved these weapons along with a few storage rings.

It was true that they were useless for him, but he took them in case he needed to frame someone. It was something he used to do in Delta City. Something evident from the way he framed revolutionaries for the attack on Delta Police Headquarters.

As such, he didn't mind transferring this wealth to the village chief.

Sanchez was dumbstruck by the items in front of him. It took him a long while to regain some sense, and when he did, Kiba was no longer in sight.

He quickly grabbed the weapons and other items, and started placing them inside the house. He has a storehouse under which more weapons were already placed.

"Hopefully it would help us a little."

Sanchez has made many preparations for the inevitable crisis.

"If only those two haven't left the village due to... we wouldn't be in need of these. Sadly they no longer care."

Sanchez thought of a pair of siblings.

"Myeisha and Harith!"

The strongest of Dark Stars!

...

Kiba walked away from the house and roamed around. He decided to meet Ashlyn for dinner and deciding tomorrow's plan.

His eyes were at the sky when he felt strange fluctuations of energy enveloping him.

"Oh?"

Kiba's eyes glinted with shock as the energy filaments wrapped him from head to toe. He raised a hand, but after thinking for a moment, he didn't resist.

The next moment, he faded from the spot like particles of dust in the air.

At the same time, inside the black pagoda.

The pagoda was completely empty. There was no staircase, floor, or even a visible ceiling.

If there was anything, it was empty space and rifts. It was like the space inside the pagoda was a broken mirror, filled with countless cracks.

The rifts radiated out space and time fluctuations!

Just as Kiba disappeared, the hundreds of rifts glowed, and fragments of a face appeared into them. As the portions of the face were divided by the rifts, it wasn't completely clear, but it was evident the face belonged to a species that didn't belong to Earth!

It was the same face that a few weeks ago felt Kiba's aura! Back then, the face has remarked that the aura was marked by Fury of Time! 1

Meanwhile, as the face appeared, a prismatic column of light conjured in the center of the pagoda. It transformed into Kiba.

"Well, this is a strange way to invite someone," Kiba floated in the mid-air while looking around. "You could have sent a formal invitation."

The face in the rifts was surprised by both his calmness and attitude. He has been teleported out of blue, and instead of being worried or startled, he was relaxed.

"You don't seem to be shocked," The face's hoarse voice came through countless rifts.

"I'm shocked," Kiba clarified while sitting in mid-air. "Never thought I will get a chance to meet the venerated Guardian Spirit."

"Guardian Spirit?"

A chucking sound ringed in the rifts.

"You humans gave me that title."

"I know," Kiba nodded in acknowledgment. "Only we humans can be stupid enough to call a destroyer as a guardian."

The face in the rift locked its rectangular pupils - with rounded corners - on Kiba. The pupils were multicolored, rotating in swirling motion.

"But then again, a powerful entity is always revered, no matter the race," Kiba said, unfazed by the vision locked on him.

Strongs are always praised and conferred with divine titles even when they do what people generally consider as evil. They only become openly evil when they lose power and status.

Before the age of evolution, the ancient kingdoms were always in wars for expansion and resources. When a strong kingdom swallowed a weaker kingdom at the cost of uncountable lives, it was the weaker kingdom that was criticized in the historical records.

Only when the strong kingdom lost its foundation and was erased, the records were then filled with less than complimentary details.

The same was true in this era of evolution and technology. The World Council - the power behind the world government- was respected by the masses around the globe. This was despite the fact that they have committed unforgivable acts.

But from the masses' perspective, it was a sign of strong leadership that did what has to be done for the greater good!

Evil can be labeled as good as long as you have the power!

So how was it surprising for ignorant humans - who knew truly nothing about the pagoda- to call the powerful existence as Guardian Spirit?

They didn't know the role of this powerful existence nor why it existed.

As such, most humans based its guardian role on hearsay and rumors. This was nothing but a classic example of 'Three men make a tiger.'

It wasn't like Kiba knew about the nature of this so-called Guardian Spirit either. He was just guessing that the pagoda's existence was a sign of disaster due to the runes engraved on the surface of the pagoda.

"You are an interesting human being," The face's hoarse voice ringed out. "Cynical but interesting."

Chapter 249. The first and last appearance of this character before this chapter.

Chapter 371 - Extraordinary Opportunity!

Under the night sky, the black pagoda made a striking appearance. The dark, chaotic air mass around the pagoda gave it an eerie appearance.

Inside the pagoda, the face in the uncountable rifts said, "You are a cynical but interesting human. Your world perspective is similiar to mine."

Kiba didn't respond to this remark.

"I have felt your aura before, and that's why I brought you here," The face continued in rough tone. "From back then, I felt you are special... marked by destiny."

As Kiba heard the final words of him being special, he started laughing. It was like he has heard a good joke that left him laughing nonstop.

The face in the rifts was annoyed by his reaction.

"What's so funny?" The face asked.

A domineering aura swept out from the rifts and the land around pagoda began shaking. The sky twisted with screeching sounds.

"Apologies but you brought back some memories," Kiba said with a composed expression. "Years ago, when I lived as a beggar, the words you spoke were often used by me."

"You were a beggar?!" The alien face's eyes were filled with amazement.

It has studied his aura and felt the power of Cosmic! So how was it possible for someone like him to be a beggar?

"That was just a struggling phase of life, nothing worth mentioning," Kiba replied with a smile. "Anyways, back then, to increase my chances of receiving some money or food... I would inflate the ego of passerby. It was there that I learned something that has helped me ever since."

The mention of struggling phase brought a smile on the face in the rifts... as if recalling its own struggles.

The face then stared at him.

It was unsure how its words on him being special and marked by destiny were connected to his days as a beggar.

"Every living being wants to know it is special and different from others! It makes them feel great about their existence," Kiba continued, his eyes filled with recollection.

"This is especially true for humans who have achieved something. You inflate their self-worth by agreeing to their innate thoughts of being a special existence, and put words like destiny along with it... and viola! They lose their guards and turn stupid.

"Seduction, stealing, kidnapping, brainwashing, murder or even begging... you can achieve so much just from making someone feel special about their existence."

The face was silent for a long time. It understood what the human wanted to imply.

"So as you can understand, I never thought I will be at the receiving end of such extraordinary praise from a reverend being like you."

Kiba was no different than others when it came to the ego. He too secretly desired his ego to be stroked and inflated.

That was something true for every human being.

"I will say it again - you are interesting," The face broke the silence and replied. "Regardless, I meant what I said earlier."

"I'm sure you didn't call me for only this," Kiba changed the topic.

"You are right," The face agreed. "I wish to offer you an extraordinary opportunity in the land you people call core region."

"I refuse," Kiba said.

"You didn't even hear my proposition," The face was surprised by his response.

It knew what others would do if they were in his place.

They would be aware the Guardian Spirit won't call an opportunity 'extraordinary' unless it was truly astounding. It would be something that could change their lives for better in the best possible way!

So, naturally, they would jump at the chance even without hearing the proposition.

He, on the other hand, was refusing!?

"Thanks but no thanks," Kiba rose to his feet and hovered in mid-air. "I'm already paying a price for one extraordinary opportunity and have no interest in another one."

There's no free lunch in this world. It was a lesson he learned at a great price.

As for the extraordinary opportunity he mentioned, it was obviously BSE79. Back then, before Zed and slum dwellers were taken into the meteorite, they were given a passionate speech on the extraordinary opportunity they were getting. The speech was to inspire them, and whether it worked or not, Kiba knew the result.

Of course, the present him was not the slum insect from back then. Nor he was in any need of special opportunity. This was why he could easily refuse.

"Don't you want to know why I found you special and felt your aura in the first place?" The face asked.

"I really don't care," Kiba shook his head. "But please, stop calling me special. It gives me chills that an alien male thinks of me in such a manner."

The face in the rifts was bewildered by the disgusted look on Kiba's face.

Swoosh~!

The next moment, prismatic glow enveloped Kiba, and he vanished from the pagoda. The so-called Guardian Spirit no longer felt any necessity to engage in a conversation so it sent him out.

"Fufu, as expected, a kid marked by Fury of Time is truly amazing. Is it because he is infected with Genesis?"

The radiance in the rifts dimmed, and the traces of the face disappeared.

At the same time, in multiple locations around the globe. There were similar black pagodas similar to the one in the forest village.

These pagodas were located near to many wonderlands. Or in simple words, near to around thirty meteorites.

Presently, the pagodas flashed with a bright glint before dimming.

One such pagoda existed in Blood Dunes near Lizenea - the nation of revolutionaries.

But unlike other pagodas, this was one was covered by blood sand, hidden from the sight of others.

If on a map, one looked at the location of this pagoda with respect to other pagods, then it would appear that the pagodas around the globe were forming a net, with this pagoda as its core.

A net enveloping the entire world!

The pagoda at the Blood Dunes was different in more than one ways. Its internal structure was in the form of a crimson shrine.

In the center of the shrine, a magic circular pattern existed upon which a royal crest was engraved. The crest flashed with space and temporal radiance. If Pythia was here, she would instantly identify this royal crest.

It belonged to none other than Asmodeus Freyr Burislav! The mad king who wished to conquer Celestial Elysian Plane but failed due to the intervention of paragons! 1

"Time spares no one."

A hoarse sound reverberated inside the shrine.

...

The next day.

Kiba awakened after a night of rest. He has slept inside the village chief's house, and as he opened his eyes, his vision was greeted with a gorgeous sight.

Graciana.

She was naked and sleeping next to him. The sides of her breast were pressing against him.

Last night, after leaving the pagoda, he had dinner with Ashlyn. He has made sure he didn't alert 'young pervert' when he called Ashlyn out.

After dinner, he returned to the village chief's house.

Graciana has freshened herself and served him with dinner, but after looking at her, his body was filled with another type of appetite.

The 'new dinner' lasted for more than an hour. This brought them to the present...

As he felt the soft breasts on his chest, his cock turned straight like an arrow. He lowered his body and took her left nipple into his mouth.

"Mm..."

She opened her eyes as he sucked on her nipple and grabbed her tight ass. She was surprised to feel his throbbing erection against her skin.

How could he even have any energy left after last night?!

She wondered in her heart. She was still feeling sore, and her body was covered with marks from the intense fucking.

"Ah!"

He kissed her breasts and neck before moving on her earlobe. A tremor ran through her as he sucked her earlobe between his lips.

"Time for a mini-breakfast!"

Kiba said as he pulled her on top of him. She was started but she smiled, and lowered herself on his cock.

"I can handle a quickie breakfast!"

Her fingers parted her vaginal lips, exposing the crimson slash, and he entered inside her.

She was in control but the pleasure was shared equally as she mounted him. Her tits swayed in a wonderful rhythm as she rocked back and forth on his cock.

Kiba cupped her firm breasts as she took him to her furthest depths. They both moaned in ecstasy as she increased her pace; sliding on and off.

He pinched her nipples between his thumb and forefinger, and she shuddered with a mixture of pain and pleasure.

"God! Yes...!"

A few minutes later, Kiba grabbed her by hips and quickly rolled to change their position.

He brought her on all fours, in doggy position, and arrived behind her. He rubbed the tip of his cock against her wet slit, and she begged him to slide inside her.

He was not the type of man who would refuse a lady's request. He kissed her on the back before pushing the mushroom head into her pussy.

Her ass wriggled in pleasure, and he slammed his cock fully into her.

"Ahhh!"

He pulled her by hair as he rammed his fat cock into her. The strokes were faster and with more force. The sound of his hip slapping against her ass cheeks ringed out as he continued pushing in and out of her.

Her pussy turned wetter, and he felt her vaginal muscles tightening around him. His cock was jammed deep into her tight pussy, wrapped by intense vibrations.

Her back arched and she snapped her head up.

An intense orgasm crashed over her. She felt as if explosions of pleasures were taking over every corner of her body.

Kiba was same as he melted into her...shooting out thick ropes of cum. They both fell on the floor...

According to ancient customs, before going on an important task, one must taste something sweet. It was considered as auspicious, and something that increased luck.

Today was the opening of the core region, and Kiba needed all the luck. Naturally, for auspicious reasons, he tasted the sweetest thing in the world.

After all, can anything be sweeter than an orgasmic bliss?

As Graciana lay next to him, savoring the mutual climax, he couldn't help but remark:

"The day has started with a promising note."

Chapter 290

Chapter 372 - Core Region Opening! (Part I)

"The day has started with a promising note."

Kiba remarked loudly much to Graciana's amusement. She covered her body with a sheet before rising up.

"Do you think of me as a slut?" Graciana suddenly asked.

"Hmm?" Kiba was startled by her question.

"People from cities have different morals, so I wonder if you think I'm a slut since I gave myself to you instead of resisting," Graciana explained.

In wildlands, there was often a brazen attitude towards sex even from women. They would take lovers with no ties involved.

Something that would be considered scandalous from people belonging to civil society.

Kiba shook his head with a smile.

"I'm not the type to judge, at least not on sexual freedom," Kiba filled a glass with water before continuing. "For me, sex is just sex... an activity by which two people could experience the ultimate pleasure."

It wouldn't be wrong to say that sex was just a chemical and physical activity. It was enjoying one's body in the best possible way.

So why involve morals, restrictions, and emotions in a biological function?

Of course, that was just his views.

He was a rake with a deviant mentality, and this was why he had such strange opinions. Then again, if he hasn't such open views, he wouldn't be the man he was.

Naturally, he understood the factors behind society's reluctance to accept sex for what it was. And truthfully speaking, he was grateful for that.

It made seducing more enjoyable.

After all, where was the fun if a husband wouldn't be jealous of his wife taken?

His greatest dream of turning every man -with a beautiful woman- into a cuckold relied on sexual taboo.

A dream that was very far away. So far, he has barely taken a step towards it.

"As for you not offering resistance," Kiba arrived on the last part of her sentence. "Well, Ninon de l'Enclos said it best: The resistance of a woman is not always a proof of her virtue, but more frequently of her experience."

"That's slander!" Graciana joked.

She didn't really care if he considered her a slut or not. She more than enjoyed the things they did but she felt no emotional connection with him.

He didn't own her, and she knew this was their last meeting... so his views on her would make no difference. It was just something she asked out of curiosity.

"Besides, it is strange that modesty is the rule for women when what they most value in men is boldness," Kiba concluded with a smile. 1

"You are a strange guy for sure."

...

An hour later.

After freshening up and miscellaneous activities, Kiba stepped out of the house. He heard the chirpings of birds in the morning sky and felt the fresh gust of wind.

"Just 4-5 hours, and everything will change," Kiba wondered if he will miss the environment in the core region.

He walked towards the camp house where Ashlyn was staying along with Sophia and others. As he closed into the area, he noticed Sophia outside. She noticed him too, and she was stunned as if she has seen her greatest enemy.

"Shameless scoundrel!" Sophia called him in her sweet, young voice.

"Good morning to you as well, young pervert," Kiba responded with a warm smile.

"Villain! Don't think I will fall into your scheme again!" Sophia said with a mocking smile.

She no longer cared about being addressed as a pervert. She knew who was the real pervert among them, so why should she get offended?

"Oh?" Kiba moved forward.

"Will you tell me something in a simple yes and no?" Sophia crossed her arms and asked.

"?" Kiba looked at her and nodded.

"Does a shameless, sadistic, thieving villain like you ever feel remorse?" Sophia asked with a grin.

"....."

Kiba felt strange. Her words were childish but still a bit sharp. She has changed ever since the last meeting between Kiba and her.

Her question was something that could not be answered with a simple yes or no. He decided to be big-hearted and ignore her question.

It wasn't like he couldn't retort with a witty remark, but since she was young and naive, those types of remarks would be offensive.

"Why aren't you answering?" Sophia questioned him.

She felt she has changed for better ever since she met Zed. He has helped her grow with his wise words.

"You see..." Kiba trailed off just as he started. He turned towards his right as he sensed a familiar presence.

"Not one but two," Kiba corrected himself.

Just some two hundred steps away, a male and a female were moving towards this direction.

The female was young but her face was covered by a white veil. She was dressed in a flawless white gown that hid her slender figure.

Myiesha Noach.

The man next to her stood at a height of 8 feet with a bald-head. His arms were covered with tattoos and his hands were wrapped with chains.

Harith Noach.

"Dark Stars?" Sophia noticed them as well. She knew they were siblings though that was rather hard to tell by such contrasting differences.

"I feel sad for her father despite not having any friendly relationship with her," Kiba thought with his eyes focused on Myiesha. "Poor guy must have been cuckolded badly... otherwise how can he have such an alluring daughter and monstrous son?"

Kiba felt he was truly kind-hearted for him to be sad about the unknown father.

By now, Myiesha and Harith have crossed most of the distance and were just a few steps away.

With a smile, Kiba said, "It has been a while, Myiesha."

Myiesha didn't reply. She recalled how he pretty much spread anarchy in The Fair and the way he escaped with the help of crazy twins. To her, the loss he created didn't really matter. She only acted to defend the reputation of The Fair.

Back then, she has believed he wouldn't have escaped from her and Konnor if not for the intervention of the psycho sisters. But after knowing the condition of Anamarie, she realized she has seriously underestimated him.

"You almost ruined The Fair, and yet, we can't blame you," Myiesha said with a soft sigh.

She found no reason to fight him.

What's lost was lost.

Facing him for that would lead to no benefits.

"That's a relief," Kiba replied.

Myiesha then turned towards Ashlyn who has just left the camp house. As Myiesha observed her, she let out another sigh.

She couldn't help but feel bad for her comrade Mendel. She has seen his condition and the tragic screams he let out when doctors treated him. Doctors were forced to remove smashed testicle pieces from his crotch!

"For any male, she is far scarier than the god of death."

A smile bloomed under the veil as she wondered about Ashlyn.

Just then, a surprised gasp came out. Myiesha's expression turned downcast and she snapped her head.

"Myiesha and Harith," Sanchez appeared with a complex expression.

"Village Chief," Myiesha coldly greeted.

"Everyone missed you two," Sanchez said as dozens of villagers joined him. They all had trouble making eye contact with her.

"I doubt that," Myiesha responded coldly. "Otherwise, you all wouldn't have done what you did."

Kiba was surprised by the conversation.

The strongest of Dark Stars were from this village?

This didn't make much sense to him especially when he recalled the danger the village was in. The village chief has even requested for weapons and defense devices from him.

He further remembered Myiesha's molecular manipulation ability. Given her powers, she has more than enough strength to migrate the village to a better place.

And then there was her brother. In The Fair, almost everyone was terrified of him.

"Myiesha!"

A voice came from above. Myeisha lifted her head up and her cold expression eased.

Zelda somersaulted through the air and appeared before Myeisha. She closed her arms around for a tight hug.

"How have you been?" Myiesha asked while glancing at the bow behind her back.

Zelda swept her vision at Kiba and others including adventurists who were not associated with him.

"Not good," Zelda answered with a pained expression. "These damn outsiders are overburdening the village."

"Zelda! Don't be rude!" Sanchez warned with a serious look.

"How am I being rude by stating the truth?" Zelda asked angrily. Without waiting for an answer, she continued, "None of this would have happened if back then we have helped Myiesha's parents---"

She was cut off by Myiesha.

"Don't bring past," Myiesha said, her voice filled with frost. "Harith and I would bring back our parents."

Sanchez's face was filled with sorrow as he said, "Child, no one can survive the core region after it closes up. This was why we..."

He ultimately decided to not complete his words.

"They are alive!" Harith spoke for the first time. "They have to be... they promised us!"

His voice was rough, completely different from his sister.

At the same time, Kiba listened to everything with a curious expression.

"Her parents are in the core region?!" Kiba was surprised.

He then shook his head and closed his eyes; no longer interested in listening to the discussion between fellow villagers.

The world was filled with tragedies. He didn't want to spoil his mood by listening to sad details which didn't concern him.

After all, he has a great start to the day with a sweet taste...

...

Half an hour later, Kiba and Ashlyn left the village. Sophia, Jenina, Verna, and others left separately with Sophia promising to teach him manners.

Kiba just smiled at her cute threat.

In some twenty minutes, after crossing a few miles, he and Ashlyn arrived before the barrier that sealed the core region.

The seal was opening up!

Ninon de l'Enclos

Chapter 373 - Core Region Opening! (Final Part)

The 'entrance' to the core region spanned for five miles. Technically speaking, presently, it was more like a green miasma wall and an energy field which restricted anyone from entering. Not even weapons of mass destruction could break through them, much less normal mutants.

Kiba looked at the miasma wall and energy field which were combinedly acting as a barrier. It was impossible to see within inside though he has an idea of what was present on the other side.

It would be an enormous meteorite.

As per the visuals Claudia provided him, the meteorite barely occupied an area of twenty sq.miles. From a human perspective, this outer area was big, but it wasn't anything compared to the actual dimensions in the meteorite.

"The pieces of Celestial Elsyain Plane are not really meteorites despite their outer appearance," Kiba thought as he recalled BSE79.

BSE79 didn't have restrictions like the meteorite that formed the core region of Desolate Blood Forest. Anyone can enter anytime they want and fully explore the entire meteorite without any dangers.

But that was just a popular belief.

Only he knew how wrong it was. The actual space of BSE79 was boundless. It was just that almost no one knew how to access that true space.

Perhaps, in the present, the only human who knew that secret was Kiba.

"Oh!"

Kiba looked around and noticed more than thousands of people in the area. That was just people within his eyesight. So the people who wanted to enter were far more.

"The only thing Earth doesn't lack is population."

With high fertility in the age of evolution, the planet was overpopulated. Earth might have advanced in technology but the resources were limited to satisfy everyone's needs and wants.

So it was no wonder there were so many people here. Still, it was more than he expected but he has a faint idea on why.

He even detected battle tanks, hovercrafts, and other large vehicles.

"They must be on standby for conflict that might break out after the core region closed up."

Not everyone here was to enter the core region. Some of them planned to help their companions when they come out, while others were here to benefit at the labors of others. Only time would tell whether they will enjoy the benefits or not...

A few minutes later, as the afternoon sky was overcast with bright sun, there were loud rumbling sounds.

People's eyes lit up and they stared at the barrier.

"Finally! It is time!"

"I waited for so long!"

"Yes!"

"Land of true resources is opening up!"

Chi~ Chi~ Chi~

From the barrier, sounds ringed out. Under excited gazes of everyone, the green miasma faded and the energy field began to disappear.

In just a minute, the restrictions that have stopped people from the land of miracles were vanishing on their own.

Everyone's eyes sparkled as they nervously waited to jump in the wonderland.

Swoosh~!

The space in place of the barrier flickered, and now there was a translucent fine gauze-like screen. On the surface, there were ripples radiating a mysterious glow.

"Core region has opened up!"

People broke out in conversations. There was excitement, anticipation, and hope in their voices.

Vitality.

Wealth.

Knowledge.

Power.

Everything they could ever desire was in front of them. They just have to move forward to grab before others!

And just like that, without any grand speech or warning, people charged forward. The moment they touched the ripples on the screen, they were sucked right into the screen, almost like the twinkling of stars.

Kiba glanced at Ashlyn who gave him a nod. They stepped towards the screen without any hurry.

Kiba offered a hand to her as they arrived before the ripples. Ashlyn, without any words, joined a hand with his. Their other hands touched the ripples on the count of three.

They did this to ensure they wouldn't be separated...

As Kiba touched the ripples on the screen, he saw the space around him twisting with multiple colors. It was like he was falling through a kaleidoscope as hundreds of colors flew past him.

The colors were spinning quickly like an ocean whirlpool, and anyone who passed through them would feel nauseated and weakened.

But Kiba wasn't just anyone. Thanks to his strength, he didn't feel any discomfort.

A few seconds later, he found himself in a new environment. Ashlyn was next to him, their hands joined.

The ground was filled with rock fragments and gravel, and as they arrived, they noticed a high temperature.

Meanwhile, countless humans and beasts alike passed through the gauze-like screen. One of them was a ferocious tiger with crimson fur.

Red Tiger!

She leaped through the ripples and arrived in a strange land. Her eyes were filled with strong determination as she proceeded to find better chances for her and her children.

At the same time, in another area, a woman in the early twenties opened her eyes. If Red Tiger was here, she would instantly identify the woman as the one trying to hunt her and the cubs.

It was none other than Fiona Wilcox!

"Where is that man named Kiba?"

Fiona wondered as she checked her surroundings.

"Just like he wanted, I have made sure that more people visit the core region this time... Now, it is time for him to hold his part of the deal." 1

She tapped on her watch screen. A small projection swept out, in the form of a floating map. On the map, there were two places marked. One was her location while the other place was marked with a skull.

"It would take me days..."

Fiona jumped into the air and literally transformed into a beam of light. She shot off into the distance but at very low speed. She didn't dare take any chance by being careless and dashing at high speed.

...

Kiba was in what appeared to be a canyon. He lifted his head up and checked the sky, or to be precise, the lack of it.

There were no clouds, sun, stars, or anything. It was like space above was painted with red smog.

"At last..."

Chapter 201. She made a deal with Kiba. As part of the deal, Kiba would help her once in the core region.
