## Chapter 1161 – Confrontation

“…”

It’s quite a large energy.

However, it wasn’t an energy I couldn’t control. Originally, this kind of power isn’t something you can just eat and absorb haphazardly. Suitable mental strength and skill commensurate with the elixir’s level are indispensable.

The energy of mana spreading through my body.

To completely melt it into my body.

It was a piece of cake.

Damn, even saying it’s a piece of cake is unnecessary. This was transcendently easier than a piece of cake. It was about as difficult as breathing. Seriously, my mana manipulation is insane, truly.

The work proceeds smoothly, at an ultra-fast pace, to a degree that even I find incredibly satisfying.

Realizing anew that I’ve become a master of handling mana, I sit in place, feeling the large amount of mana spreading inside my body. Into my organs. Into my blood. Into my flesh. And absorbed into all my bones and muscles.

ㅡGooooo.

The fusion of Confucianism and Demonic Divine Art, which I created independently, is activated. It allows me to take all the energy contained in the elixir without any waste.

And so.

I opened my eyes.

“Ooh.”

The absorption work was all completed.
Did about 15 minutes pass?

My mana increased by a very large margin.

Accordingly, I feel that my body has also become stronger. It’s truly a fraudulent performance. It felt like several portions of the amount of mana I had gradually increased through repeated battles had risen at once.

My body becomes lighter.

“This is good.”

Coltrahen, that bastard, was quite something after all.

And Lisha’s ability was also transcendent. To put his power directly into an elixir. I almost feel reverence. As a reward, I should pat her butt a bit today.

Anyway, the house was quiet.

“…”
“…”

The other women were also meditating to absorb the power of the elixir and melt it into their bodies. They were all absorbing it in their own way. Very quietly. Exerting a high degree of concentration.

I was the fastest.

I didn’t think I’d be faster than Karin, though.

“…”

Karin was concentrating so hard that she was even sweating.

Well, it’s common sense to stand guard at times like this. I sat on the sofa with Bihal next to me, waiting for them to finish meditating.

* * *

“…Considerable.”

Claudia said, examining her body.

“It’s increased by a larger margin than when I was a Spirit King… I never thought my body would be so full of power…”

Her tone was filled with considerable surprise. Her expression as well. Yeah. Since Claudia originally lacked mana, she must have felt it clearly.

She has completely overcome the limitations of being a half-elf.

As evidence, I could feel that Claudia’s energy had become stronger.

“Claudia, how is it?”
“This is… amazing. It’s increased several times more than the mana I originally had accumulated.”

She was clearly excited.

“That’s great!!!!! Congratulations, Claudia!!!!!!”
“Ah!”

I immediately reached out and roughly rubbed her ear. Claudia, who had been trembling for a moment, made a sound as if she had realized something and asked me.

“Katt…? How was it for you?”
“I absorbed it perfectly.”
“Haa… really perfect. The best. Thank you, Lisha? It was very effective.”
“Hehehe, I’m glad to hear that.”

Lisha’s face is very bright.

“Uh… um… hmm…”

Winia was now casting magic with a very serious attitude. She was levitating a magic circle with her bare hands and admiring it to herself. Judging by her appearance, Winia also seemed to have received a great effect.

I should listen to her impressions and praise her later.

“It’s truly an amazing level…! Katt! Please look forward to tonight! With this much power, I might be able to enter your dreams again!”

Hilde also shouted in a very confident tone.

“Hehehe, yeah. I’ll welcome you if you come in.”
“I feel like I’m getting stronger and stronger…! Coltrahen was definitely strong. To think he had this kind of power…!”

That bastard’s power was infinite.

“At this rate, we can say that our overall combat power has increased.”
“Combat power increase, dezaaaaaaaaat!!!”
“Ah!”

ㅡKuaaaaaaaa!!

I shouted.

“Ah, anyway! A considerable amount of power was concentrated in that! I’m glad that you seem to have seen its effect properly!”
“Hehehe. It seems so. Thank you, Lisha. No one could have made something like this without Lisha in the first place.”
“I was also happy to be able to make something like this.”

She really can make anything if she has the materials.

“Certainly… Father’s energy has become clearly stronger than before. Not only that, but it seems like everyone is the same.”
“Ari, what about you?”
“My power has also become quite strong.”

It’s perfect in every way.

After finishing their meditation, Karin and Lisztina each went into their rooms, saying that they would check their power properly overall. It seemed they wanted to feel their achievement in a quiet space.

“Then, Lisha! Now, the World Tree’s sap! Let’s work on that again!”
“I was planning to start right away without being urged. I wonder how much power will be contained in that… I’m looking forward to it.”

I’m looking forward to it too.

Anyway.

I took out the crystal ball I received from the World Tree. I wondered if I could touch something since my power had become stronger, so I examined it by drawing out my inner power.

“…”

There wasn’t much of a reaction.

“Father. Isn’t that something that can only be used after absorbing the World Tree’s sap? I think there’s a reason why the World Tree gave those two items at once.”
“I’m thinking that way for now too.”

Then I can’t use it right now.

But it’ll be soon anyway. Lisha will make it soon. That’s when it starts.

* * *

Early morning.

I went to work at Kadia’s house as I had heard from her yesterday. Kadia greeted me in a flushed state, and I immediately went into the bedroom with her.

Just as I was about to start the act in earnest, Kadia knelt on the bed and patted her thighs.

“Come and lie down.”
“What? Why.”
“Let’s finish talking first and then start.”
“If you say so.”

I immediately lay down, using Kadia’s thighs as a pillow. Then her ample breasts filled my vision.

“Hehehe, you’re going to talk business in this position?”
“I’m being considerate of the Paladin who came full of expectations, thinking only of violating this Holy Woman. Don’t hesitate and enjoy it.”

It would have been nice if milk came out.

Anyway, I didn’t hesitate and immediately reached out and grabbed Kadia’s ample breasts and kneaded them. I freely kneaded them, then bit her nipples and sucked them as I pleased. Kadia was just gently grabbing my erect penis and stroking it.

“Haa… Yesterday, the Paladin brought up the story about the Dwarf Kingdom, which reminded me of something.”

ㅡJyuup.

I took my mouth off her nipple.

“Dwarf?”
“Does the Paladin remember the facility in the Misty Plains back then?”

The one where Captain Bakarel and Elysee and I caught the Abomination.

“Of course I remember. The Order investigated it back then, right… Ah. That thing back then.”

I said they invited a dwarf scholar to examine the architecture of the facility.

“Did the dwarf scholar take the data back to their kingdom?”
“That’s right. I made such a request.”

At the time, I investigated the facility with the invited dwarf scholar, and I heard that the data was entrusted to the scholar and sent to the kingdom for a more detailed analysis.

“Come to think of it, haven’t we heard from them? I haven’t heard anything since then.”

This is also a very old story.

“There’s still no news. I was thinking they would come soon… I don’t know if it’s later than expected or if there’s a problem.”
“I know what you’re saying.”

I explained about the fragment of God and also talked about the Dwarf Kingdom. To be honest, the World Tree only mentioned it once, so I don’t know much, but it was true that I had to go there.

I have to go there.

“You’re saying to find him while I’m there, right?”
“Hehe, you know me well. There’s a document on that desk that summarizes the scholar’s personal information, the contract details, and the guarantee he gave. If you go to the Dwarf Kingdom, take that with you. I hope you can find him if you have the chance.”

Of course I should.

“I’m going anyway, so I’ll check it out. But well. It’s a matter of finding people, so it might not work out.”
“I don’t expect much. It’ll be a difficult task. Just look for him when you have the chance.”
“Okay. Then can I suck more?”

I asked while kneading her breasts.

“Haa… The Paladin really likes sucking on a woman’s body. You’re not even a child, but you enjoy nipples so much. There’s no breast milk coming out, but is it so enjoyable?”
“Of course it’s good.”

But it’s a bit disappointing. Anyway, I put her nipples in my mouth again. Kadia was still grabbing my penis and stroking it with her soft hands.

“…”

I focus my senses on my tongue and penis.
It’s so comfortable that I feel like I’m falling asleep.

“Now… really.”

Kadia’s voice.

“You’re going far away. I think it’ll be a bit hard for this Holy Woman to endure, what does the Paladin think?”
“I feel the same way. To have to leave this lewd Holy Woman behind and go far away. I want to take you with me.”
“Unless I retire as a Holy Woman, I can’t do that.”

That’s a shame.

“You made me unable to live without that violent penis… and now you’re trying to go so far away. The Dwarf Kingdom is at the far west. It’ll take quite a while.”

That’s terrible.

“Kadia. Don’t cry.”
“Who said I was crying. Of course, this Holy Woman can wait for the Paladin forever.”
“But you’re not leaving right away, so why do you keep acting like someone who’s leaving tomorrow.”
“Quiet.”

I’m going to absorb the World Tree sap properly before I go. After that, I need to familiarize myself with how to use the crystal ball and then move. There’s no point in going right now.

“What can I do if I’m getting impatient… Ah, that’s right. There was that too.”
“Hmm? What?”
“I’ll make time soon. I’m thinking of checking the faces of the other wives before the Paladin goes far away.”

Ah.

“Seven. You said there were seven. I’ll have to get to know them. I’ll make time. As a Holy Woman, I’ll check what kind of women they are.”

It’s about time.
We talked about it once before.

Let’s make time as soon as I get home.

As you said, I’m going to take a break from the Paladin’s work and go far away, so I should introduce them before I go. There’s definitely no chance if it’s not now.

“Okay. I wanted to do that too. Okay. I’ll tell them when I get back.”

Hilde and Ari.
Will they be okay.

I can’t tell them my identity, but I can show them my face.

“Haa. I said it, but I didn’t know I’d feel so strange.”
“Why.”
“Doesn’t the womanizer have too many women?”

ㅡSqueeze.

Kadia said that and put strength into her hand, but my penis was already harder than steel, so it wasn’t that painful.

“Anyway, keep that in mind.”
“Okay. I’ll tell you when I get home later. Ah, but Kadia. Did you report it to the Order?”
“…”

Kadia was silent for a moment at that.

“…No. I haven’t been able to yet. To be honest, I’m worried.”
“It’s something to worry about.”
“I know that I have to tell them.”

I haven’t reported to the Order that the gods are fragmented yet.

“This Holy Woman trusts the Paladin completely. If you report something, I accept it as an undeniable fact. But others don’t. I have to convince them and show them evidence. No one will believe this.”

That’s definitely true.
It’ll be hard to say.

“Do it as you think. You always have. What you think is the answer.”
“I have a lot of worries.”

Why did Verde break into pieces and give me this burden?

“Well, I’ve been tormenting my nipples for a long time… Now I’d like you to torment my lower mouth a bit.”

Is Kadia running out of patience?
I got up from her thighs.

“Hold my wrist tightly. Without thinking about anything… I just want to entrust my body to pleasure. Force the Holy Woman to do what the Paladin does best and is confident in. Order it.”
“…Okay.”

I went up to Kadia and grabbed her wrist tightly so she couldn’t use her healing powers. As she wanted, I’ll spend a few hours making her unable to think about anything.
