Lackey's Seducing Survival Odyssey

Chapter 1382: He got the skill... but at what cost?

After so hard mating like beasts, both calmed down and had a big talk,

”So you are saying someone talked to you and gave you these powers?” Aether muttered with a slightly shocked tone while lying on the cold rock nakedly, and beside him, Thalia was lying with her head on his arm as she snuggled close to him, looking at the starry sky, nodding furiously.

”Yup, and no, it’s not someone. I think it is the First one of my bloodline, like a Progenitor or something,” she said with an excited tone as she explained what she saw and how it was so amazing that it took her breath away.

”Her presence... it felt ancient. Heavy. Like every flame born from our line came from her heartbeat.

And... one day I will become like her,” she said as she clenched her fist tightly. Her eyes could still visibly see the golden-red flames that proudly erupted from the Phoenix’s body... flames that danced behind her eyelids whenever she blinked, the image too vivid to fade.

”She wasn’t just powerful... she felt alive in a way that made my chest burn.”

Aether smiled softly, ”Was she more magnificent than my darling?” he asked as he tugged her hair softly, letting the strands slide through his fingers as warm mist drifted around them.

Thalia rolled her eyes, ”Don’t be a jerk! I am indeed magnificent... but that’s only in your eyes,” she said as she clenched her fist.

”But if you saw what I saw... I’m pretty sure you would fall over her! Before that happens, I need to be the one who reaches that place! Hmph!” She clenched her fist with a slightly annoyed tone, just thinking how Aether would go for that imaginary dead-ass phoenix made her blood boil.

Aether awkwardly smiled. He definitely wasn’t planning for all this, but well, she got her motivation. Watching her talk with fire in her eyes stirred something warm in his chest.

But to think... she managed to get in contact with her bloodline ancestor... just because she was pushed around?

How lucky she could be! Or maybe... how chosen.

Aether smiled gently, seeing her serious face... as if she got something to move forward... something to achieve... that was all he wanted.

”I’d rather want you to be something than... being nothing,” he muttered as he leaned and kissed her lips. Thalia, for a second, was surprised before blinking and amusedly asking,

”So if I wanted to be just a normal sales girl, would you still accept me for who I am? Or do you want me to become a big shot to keep up with your royal name?” Her voice softened, but her fingers brushed his chest slowly.

Aether didn’t say anything, just stared at her eyes... those crimson eyes... They trembled before she snorted and turned away with a small blush,

”Tsk, I hate it when I know without you saying anything!” Her cheeks puffed slightly from embarrassment.

Aether chuckled as he wrapped his arms around her, pulled her closer, and kissed her nape, ”I don’t want you to be a big shot... I just want my haughty and horny Thalia to be herself and love her life... Well, not above me, of course~ haha.”

Thalia shook her head with a small smile, ”Well, don’t worry, I understand where it went wrong... I made a mistake,” she muttered as she finally realised what she had been doing all this time.

She tried to be someone she never was before... trying to mimic her sister, trying to act like Selene, trying to be others... to show the best until she got bored.

When she was alone facing the monster, she realised how she lost herself... the once proud phoenix was reduced to nothing because she lost her goal? Because she forgot the flame that belonged only to her?

Laughable?

Well, that’s actually a good one to lose, but only if they managed to get out... where the light would be brighter than ever it would be!

Only the lost person would crave for the path and know the worthiness of that path... not even the persons who stayed on the path would understand that!

Those who walk it easily never feel the weight.

Only the ones who bleed on the road know its true worth.

Thalia chose her path... After getting lost in different paths, she couldn’t comprehend.

”I want to be a magnificent one...” she muttered with a gentle tone as her eyes flared quietly with golden and red flames.

Aether smiled, ”Indeed... my magnificent darling, the Primordial Phoenix,” he murmured as he kissed her forehead with a soft smile. His gaze drifted to her horns that usually carried a dark red hue but now were cracked with golden-red lines, glowing faintly as if something ancient inside her finally awakened.

Something inside her started to change.

Though she looked the same as before, unlike Raven, who turned into something entirely different after their first time, Thalia seemed the same as before. He wondered why...

Her skin, her scent, her glow—nothing changed on the surface.

His hands slowly moved to slits—

”Hiss!”

Thalia hissed suddenly, feeling a burning sensation on her reddened pussy that was still fully stuffed with his nectar.

”It hurts, Pervert... stop it!” she groaned as her little slit trembled from his gentle touch. Her expression twisted, her thighs brushing together as she grabbed his wrist. She really hurt like for real!!

Her pussy barely could move after all the pounding that happened and how they tried to take over each other for dominance... Her pussy could not handle it anymore, much less her asshole, that too was stuffed deeply!

The memory alone made her hips shake, made her bite her lip.

And who won?

Well, it was kind of hard to answer since both of them till the very end tried for dominance, but neither of them gave up, even though Thalia passed out while pounding and... even Aether passed out while she smacked her ass onto his shaft very hard.

So it was kind of hard to figure out!

”Ouch!”

Aether flinched when her fingers wrapped around his skinless, softened cock! Her grip was light, but the exposed raw nerves made him jolt as if struck by lightning.

”See? Now you feel, right?” Thalia grinned as she moved her fingers, rubbing over his skinless cock. Aether’s whole body trembled as if he were overly sensitive and horrified by the image of his skinless cock.

Her pussy literally burned his cock and sucked him dry, leaving nothing but softened... for the first fucking time in his eyes, he saw his cock softened!

His pride stumbled. Aether stared down in disbelief.

’I-I really need Sera’s healing on this one,’ he thought as he looked at his pitiful, fully exposed, raw cock!

He needed to heal it before doing anything. Heck, could he even do it?

She sucked him worse than Nightfire!

’I wonder who is a succubus now?’ he thought with a slightly amused tone. If Nightfire were to hear that, she would be crying in the corner that some bird girl defeated her only thing that she could excel at better than others.

Well, the log did mention that during the Phoenix Rut Mating time, they would act like succubus.

Thalia softly let go of his cock. With a smirk, she said, ”Next time you’d better remember what happens if you try to avoid me or annoy me! Hmph!” she said as she flicked his cock one more time, making him groan.

Honestly, his cock was so sensitive even before, it’s just he ignored it as he wanted to pound her only. That’s why he was feeling his real sensitiveness now.

”Anyway, did you receive? My ability?” Thalia asked curiously as she crawled up on him, her body shifting over his.

He almost told her about herself, about how she got excited and hot fumes coming from her pussy.

Aether nodded as he called his Log finally,

!~Ding~!

[❗New Skill Acquired: Phoenix Rut]

Aether’s face turned pale and disbelief.

[‼️Warning: New Skill Phoenix Rut is now modify into the current User’s Bloodline ability]

[1%... 2%... 3%....]

”What the fuck?” Aether, shocked, ”Oi, I didn’t ask for this shit! Stop now!” His voice cracked in panic as he tried to push himself upright.

!~Ding~!

[Negative! It’s impossible to stop the modification!]

Aether’s lips twitched, ”What the fuck? What if I didn’t have the points? Would you still have taken them?”

[Affirmative! We offer credits too~]

”...” Aether’s lips twitched violently as veins bulged on his forehead. He looked like he would strangle the Log if it had a neck.

”What’s going on?” Thalia turned curious about his sudden burst. Aether sighed and told her what happened and what kind of ability he got. Her expression shifted from curiosity to stunned silence.

Thalia blinked before bursting into laughter, ”Hahahaah... so you got a skill that turns you into a horny beast? Hahaha... that’s hilarious,” she chuckled with an amused expression as she looked at him with half amusement and half pitiful expression.

The way she wiped a tear from laughing too hard only made him more annoyed.

He could ask... where the hell he got from?

But anyway...

What was he going to do now?

Aether’s lips twitched as he asked his Log, ’OI, what’s the meaning of this?’

[...]

’Oi...’

[What? I told you, you might get any one of the skills right?]

Aether blinked, ’Any one of the skills? Fucker, when did you even mention that shit?’ His eyebrow twitched as he glared at the floating screen as if he could choke it.

[Hmm? I think you forgot... Let me rewind our previous conversation... I said: What’s more, during the Phoenix Rut, during their only first time, their partners are actually able to get... any one of their Phoenix’s ability.]

Aether blinked, but he was sure he didn’t hear that, but... he did remember he heard something. He frowned deeply, ’Did I just get scammed?’ He thought with disbelief before sighing.

His shoulders dropped as he muttered inside his mind, ’What the fuck am I supposed to do with this skill? This makes nothing but horny, right?’

[Just wait for the process to Finish!]

Aether frowned as he waited and waited... while his hands played with Thalia’s boobs and she licked and bit his neck. Her warm tongue slid slowly along his pulse, her teeth gently nibbling him.

[.... 98%... 99%...100%]

!~Ding~!

[Modified Complete!]

Aether raised his eyebrows, seeing that, ’That’s a weird name,’ he thought before looking into the details.
