Chapter 46 46: Manticore's First Level [3]
Raven looked at the beautiful woman standing before him, her hands sliding across the chest; he couldn\'t open this chest even if he wanted to, it was locked, and her name was engraved on the latch.
Click!
Her finger\'s opened it with a flick, her violet eyes looking into the box as she slammed the lid open, the black box slamming against his muscular chest.
"Eh!? Why is it empty!" Lilith complained with a pout before the chest began to rumble; her violet ring also began glowing with a strange light; the pink aura burst from the trunk, swirling in the air like a myriad of pink blossoms.
\'Why is it blossoming? She isn\'t a dryad!\' Raven complained as the countless flowers began to envelop Lilith\'s body; her eyes, face, mouth, body, everything was completely covered as the petals slowly darkened until they were a dark purple as if corrupted.
For a moment, even her eyes were dark rather than light purple.
Her flesh instantly became more lustrous, with a slight radiance; her scent was like a dark red wine before for Raven, now with a floral and fruity scent almost addictive, like a deadly fruit hiding in the centre of a carnivorous plant.
"Feel good?" He asked with a broad smile, his large white teeth showing.
"Mmmm... your kiss felt better..."
Lilith responded as the last of the dark petals began to meld, with her abdomen all sinking inside her, marking her dress fluttering from the blossoms wind.
"Do you need another one?"
"Not yet, I\'m full."
Raven checked to make sure there was no more stuff inside the chest before tossing it aside, his head turned around, but sadly, this time, there was no mural or special event; although she might have gotten an excellent class, it wasn\'t something like his cultivation technique.
"Ready?"
"Mmmm... a little bit more... lots of weird words..."
She lifted her arm, showing him her little bracelet as the details of her changes were shown, just like he thought before she specialised as some kind of agile spellcaster most deadly in the mid to close range with combo attacks. Her stats weren\'t much higher either, but she gained mana regeneration, making her spells easier to cast and faster. Also, she got a few new skills.

Raven looked at her new class and skill, noticing there was only one, but it also meant she wouldn\'t need to kiss him every few minutes during combat, and her style of darting around could be maintained if she used her tail and dagger-type weapons in the future.
"A blossom reaper, huh? Sounds cute and deadly."
"Hehe~ it\'s good. Are you jealous? Fufu...! Now let\'s go kill the monsters!"
"Wait..."
"Mn?"
He looked at the closed door, remembering there wasn\'t enough in that room to help her level; he didn\'t want to become a poacher, having already told Lilith to avoid doing the same as him as he nearly died.
Instead, he gently stroked her soft white hair.
Her face is up to his chin due to his growth in this [Chimeara Form].
Lilith was also in her strange form but wasn\'t as large and seemed to become more flexible and agile with his.
He watched with slight jealousy, hoping the second gate would give him a powerful tail, like a battering ram or mace.
"Let\'s wait for the goblins to respawn; I\'ll stand here where the archers will spawn; you go back on the pillars. They normally take 40-50 minutes."
"Eh~ but you said it would be bad..."
"Only if we do it more than 4 times... Let\'s do it twice, then you will level, and we can clear the next room several times to get you to level 3 before we leave.
40 minutes quickly passed as two goblins began to materialise with bows in front of Raven, his hulking body and sharp claws lifted above their heads.
At the same time, Lilith\'s tail and hands lashed out towards 3 of the 4 goblin warriors, cutting them down within seconds. The fourth warrior was too slow to dodge the attack, slashed by her tail and right hand. With a gurgling noise, its life drained from it, leaving behind a pool of blood that quickly evaporated as her tail, like a straw, began to drink the goblins like a milkshake.
"Burp!" Lilith felt so full and comfortable that she let out a resounding burp, her cute face turning red as she saw Raven giving her a thumbs up, his sharp claws filled with black blood.
[Killed Goblins x 6!]
[Gained 12 EXP]
[Gained 120 Credits]
They repeated this another time as suddenly the body of Lilith began to convulse; her body was filled with pink veins, unlike Raven\'s black and purple ones; she began to shake as he darted through the air, almost destroying several of the pillars, grabbing her falling body, her lips were foaming as her tail slammed wildly around, smashing into Raven\'s thigh before it\'s sharp tip pierced his flesh before sucking on his life essence rapidly.
"Fuck.... this girl..."
"Nghh... thirst.... help..... Raven.....Raven....!"
His arms tightened around her waist, holding her tightly as his essence poured into her body, filling her with what seemed to be pure vitality; he held on tight as his consciousness faded, biting his lip until a thick iron taste filled his mouth. Raven pulled her up, taking her into his arms, as her body transformed as he did on the first level up; she also began to experience the pleasure of levelling up as her lower body became sticky, squirting a thick, feminine-scented fluid across his arms.
"Raven... I can taste you... it\'s so delicious... I feel so much pain.... it hurts... but I feel so good... my body is tingling.... kiss me... make the pain stop..."
The feeling made him dizzy, causing him to lose balance.
Sending both of them crashing onto the floor, the impact knocking his breath from his lungs.
As the sticky fluids and her stage floral scent oozed from her body, mixing to create a strange and enticing aroma.
Lilith lay beneath him and wrapped his arms around his neck, while Raven half entrance began kissing her deeply as he pressed himself against her hot and wet body, his cock beginning to harden as she moaned deep in her throat, tasting his essence.
His hands slid down her smooth skin and between her legs, finding her swollen entrance, his large fingers quickly slipping inside as she gasped into his mouth; he could feel a thick sensation of liquid colours pink energy rushing from her depths as it entered his body crazily, while her slippery depths became like a vortex, sucking both his purple mist and fingers deeper inside her.
They began to entangle their bodies, wrapping her legs around his waist. While he wrapped his arms and legs around her like two octopi dancing on the ground, kissing each other passionately.
