Chapter 87: New Powers

Both Frieren and Fern breathed a sigh of relief, a collective exhale laced with lifted tension, after obtaining the prop that could help them return to their world. After all, there was no way to replenish magic power here. For Fern, she was a mage in training. If she couldn't use magic, her power would continuously decline, or at least, couldn't be improved. This was unacceptable to her, a mage who always wanted to progress.

Looking at the treasure chest, Frieren, usually apathetic, remembered something and suddenly handed Renji a horn that emanated an ominous aura. "Since this treasure chest is bound to you, Renji," Frieren said, her ancient yet intelligent eyes sparkling. "Perhaps you'll get better props if you open it, so let's try one last time."

As soon as Renji Kamisaka held the horn, he felt his body tremble violently. His eyes reddened, a strange sensation spreading through him. "What the hell is this? It feels weird."

"This is a Cursed Dragon Horn obtained after defeating a dragon," Frieren explained calmly, as if it were the most ordinary fact. "It's a very high-grade material. It can usually be used to forge weapons or as a medium for summoning magic."

Renji Kamisaka's hand trembled, and the horn fell to the ground with a soft 'thud'. "Miss Frieren, are you serious? You actually let an ordinary person like me touch this thing? I'll be cursed!"

Fern was also speechless. She was about to stop him, but Renji Kamisaka had already taken it. People without magic power would be affected if they touched such a cursed item.

Frieren waved her hand and said calmly, "Don't worry, it has been sealed by me, you're fine."

"That's good." Renji Kamisaka didn't doubt it. He had the special effect of the Spiritual Eye. If there was a soul in this horn, then it was ready to be destroyed by him. In addition, he also had an entry for doubling rebound damage.

Under Frieren's expectant eyes and Fern's nervous gaze, Renji Kamisaka placed the Dragon Horn into the treasure chest. Instantly, the treasure chest emitted a dazzling red light, illuminating the entire room with an eerie yet captivating hue.

[Ding, the treasure chest has inputted high-grade items, triggering a critical hit!]

[Ding, congratulations to the player for winning a special reward, Dragon's Baptism!]

The rapid voice echoed in Renji's head. The treasure chest opened automatically. A dragon's shadow radiating a blood-red aura roared and lunged.

"Exciting!" Frieren exclaimed, her expression turning slightly surprised, something she rarely showed.

Fern also covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Miss Frieren, what is this?"

"Hmm... It seems to be the shadow of a dragon we defeated before, but it doesn't look like a shadow." Frieren frowned, trying to analyze the phenomenon before her. "Mr. Renji, what kind of reward is this?"

Renji Kamisaka unconsciously asked, "It seems to be called Dragon's Baptism."

Frieren was confused. What was the effect of this?

"Hmm... Miss Frieren, it's so hot." Fern whispered, her face starting to flush.

"Are you feeling strange?" Frieren asked, her hand raised to fan herself, "It's a bit hot?"

Suddenly, the dragon's shadow transformed into a dense red light, covering the entire room. Renji Kamisaka only felt his body was too hot, as if burning from within. His eyes were bloodshot. His already strong body, his six-pack abs became more defined, every muscle tensed. His body was filled with overflowing power. His desires became incredibly strong, almost uncontrollable.

Frieren and Fern were startled by the sudden red light. They didn't have time to react before a pair of strong arms, one on each, embraced them.

Frieren was utterly stunned. Is this the Dragon's Baptism? She wanted to struggle and use her staff to break the red light, but her body felt weak.

Fern, her cheeks burning hot, held Frieren's hand, "Miss Frieren, I feel so uncomfortable."

"Well, Fern, I also feel uncomfortable... um!"

Renji Kamisaka's hot lips. He first covered the cute, white-haired, twin-tailed little elf's lips.

Frieren's eyes widened, her pupils slightly dilated. What's happening? My first kiss! It's him? This was the first time she had been kissed by a man in countless years. Under the influence of the red light, her delicate body became soft and weak, rebelling proved helpless.

Renji Kamisaka felt like he was about to explode. This so-called Dragon's Baptism actually activated one's deepest desires and unleashed them. The red light would work on the human body and increase physical strength. Afterwards, he would obtain Dragon Power. And Frieren and Fern would receive the Blessing of Dragon Power, their magic power would double, and especially Fern's magic power would be greatly enhanced.

An hour later, when the red light faded and the passion subsided, Renji Kamisaka looked at the two girls with faces still flushed crimson. What should he do now? Although he didn't take the final step out of pity for them, he basically didn't miss anything a boyfriend or lover could do.

Frieren's cheeks were still flushed, and she didn't seem to have fully recovered from the strange feelings earlier. Fern covered her cheeks with both hands, not daring to look at either Frieren or Renji. So embarrassing. How could I be so shameless as to act like a spoiled child to Mr. Renji Kamisaka?

Raising his hand and touching Frieren's soft silver hair, and then touching Fern's long purple hair, Renji Kamisaka sighed. "Um, I'm sorry... I'll take responsibility."

Renji Kamisaka's words broke the awkward silence. Frieren finally regained her composure, breaking free from the shackles of her surprise. She stood up with a red face and said awkwardly, her voice slightly choked, "No need, it's all because I didn't think it through before letting you use the Dragon Horn, it... Fern and I will go calm down first, you can sort yourself out." After that, she pulled Fern and quickly left his room, almost running towards the bathroom.

Renji Kamisaka looked at the backs of the two girls, his heart slightly stirred. Although he didn't reach "headquarters," he had a perfect experience of the others. Perhaps he could "eat" them directly, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. Touching without an emotional foundation would only bring embarrassment in the end. Instead, at this moment, achieving close contact and leaving enough room for mutual improvement was a better path. There was a long road to travel. He could wait for the elf woman and the mage woman to accept him. He was also capable of routines.

Clenching his fists, Renji Kamisaka was surprised to find that there was a mysterious power in his body. With a slight concentration, a black fireball appeared in his palm, dancing with a menacing aura.

[Ding, congratulations to the player for receiving Dragon's Baptism and obtaining Dragon's Flame.]

[Ding, congratulations to the player for enhancing the gold-grabbing item.]

[Ding, congratulations to the player for awakening the Dragon Body!]

Renji Kamisaka's eyes lit up when he heard the prompts. This wave, this is a good deal! He not only strengthened the ordinary person's body, he also obtained Dragon's Flame. And there was the Dragon Body! Most importantly, he also experienced the beauty of Miss Frieren and the beauty of Miss Fern. The skills required to open a harem had also been improved. Excited, Renji Kamisaka began to tidy up the room, a satisfied smile on his lips.

Come to the bathroom. Fern and Frieren were bathing in the bathtub, their faces still flushed crimson, steam filling the room.

Fern covered her cheeks and didn't dare to look at Frieren at all. "Miss Frieren, let's go back." She whispered, "Wuwuwu, I'm too embarrassed to see anyone!"

Frieren herself was also in a complicated mood, but her habit of not communicating too much with humans helped her calm down. "Don't worry," Frieren said, her tone flatter. "Didn't Renji say he would take responsibility? In that case, you can just marry him."

"What about you, Miss Frieren?" Fern asked, breaking the silence.

"Of course I'll continue to investigate this world, stay for a while, and then continue my journey." Frieren explained, her voice slightly melancholic. "Fern, I'm an elf, I'm destined not to be committed to humans." She was afraid that after falling in love, she would only be with her partner for a few decades, and her partner would die of old age in front of her.

Fern saw Frieren's somewhat lost expression, and couldn't help but raise her hands and hug her tightly. "Then I'll follow Miss Frieren, don't forget, I haven't finished my training, I'm an apprentice mage, Miss Frieren, don't think about leaving me."

"Fern..." Frieren was slightly moved, returning Fern's embrace. The two fell silent, the warmth of the hug filling the void.

As for Renji's matter, both planned not to mention it, just as if nothing had happened. Then, both began to experience changes after the miraculous Dragon's Baptism.

Fern immediately showed a surprised expression, her eyes sparkling. "Miss Frieren, my magic power has increased!"

"Mine too," Frieren replied, slightly surprised. "Though not by much, it's enough to bear the release of some magic."

However, thinking of the reason for the increase in magic power, both looked at each other and didn't mention it again. Frieren thought about it and explained to her disciple. "It's said that there's a special way to replenish magic power..."

"Ahhh, Miss Frieren, don't say it, I'd rather continue to conserve my magic power. At worst, you can just stop using magic!" Fern exclaimed, her face flushing even more.

Clearly, the method of replenishing magic power mentioned by Frieren was related to Renji.
