## Chapter 615 – Basilisk Hunt

ㅡPapapap!
ㅡBoongboong!

This time, I unleashed a relentless barrage, employing lethal Chambermaid Kung Fu. Liztina effortlessly evaded or deflected all my attacks with minimal movement, retreating repeatedly. I couldn’t land a single hit.

It felt like I was trying to land a blow on Karin.

“Hmm, good. Keep doing just that.”

Any lesser opponent would have been pulverized by my attacks. I was currently exhibiting superhuman speed and power.

Of course, the very act of laying a hand on my wife caused a significant psychological aversion, but I was doing it because she told me to attack.

And she was blocking everything.

“That’s right, that’s right. Good job, honey. You deserve praise.”

Liztina even smiled serenely, praising me with composure. All while blocking my attacks. Truly, this was the composure of a master.

I wasn’t sure if she was being careless, but should I try a sneak attack?

“Dejaaa!”

ㅡKwaang!

In close proximity, I used the Heavenly Demon Advent Step to launch myself forward in a surprise attack. A charge utilizing the massive kinetic energy generated in an instant. It should be enough to push back or knock down an enemy at close range.

ㅡThwack.

But Liztina, as if doing something very simple, stopped me with both arms as I charged. She had already read my every move. From the start, I couldn’t even push through. Her feet were as firmly planted as if they were rooted in the ground.

“Oh my.”

Liztina, having easily blocked my charge using the Heavenly Demon Advent Step, wore a warm smile on her face, the kind a mature woman gives when looking down on a man.

“Did you suddenly want to hug me? How cute.”

Liztina naturally embraced me.

“Here, I’ll hug you.”
“…”

Still in her grasp, I hugged her and buried my face in her chest. All my attacks had failed perfectly. And now I was receiving this counterattack.

“No… I didn’t want to hug you, I was trying to attack.”
“Yes. I know. I was just saying. Good job with that unconventional attack. If it were someone else, they might have fallen backward?”

She stroked the back of my head, praising me.

“But it still doesn’t work on me, does it? That’s why it just looks cute.”

As expected, people become confident and assertive in their areas of expertise. Not boastful, but genuinely confident. Liztina’s demeanor, so different from when she was in bed, made me excited.

So, with my face buried in her cleavage, I stuck out my tongue and licked between her breasts.

“Aah! Why are you suddenly sticking your tongue in there!”

Liztina, letting out a shriek, pushed me away slightly. Seeing her face flush instantly reminded me of her in bed.

“You hugged me, Noona.”
“What…! Don’t do that during training! I’ll do whatever you want when it’s over!”
“Okay.”
“Anyway… really. Then listen.”

Liztina, making a gesture as if checking inside her cleavage, looked at me and said.

“There wasn’t really anything to criticize. Is there really a need to correct a sense honed in actual combat? You just need to refine it as is. Just think of being subdued by me as a difference in experience.”

My fist, honed in actual combat, was something Liztina acknowledged. She said I didn’t need any special guidance.

I just needed to increase my proficiency.

It was an obvious result. How could the Chambermaid Kung Fu that I, Kim Kat, had personally created be lacking? I had created the techniques by constantly agonizing and improving them, honing my senses to kill the opponent.

“But you need to become more proficient in mana-based combat than you are now.”
“Mana-based combat?”

Karin had said the same thing.

The difference between having mana and not having mana is significant.
The strength and movement themselves change.

“From the spot. Without moving. Without a running start. An attack that unleashes tremendous power by detonating mana. Now that you’ve become a superhuman, you need to engage in combat that suits it. Think of the existing combat methods you’ve diligently honed as just the basics now. You’ll have to adapt to fighting with a body that has gained the power of mana.”

I nodded.

I had to fight using my enhanced body to its limits, accumulating experience, to gain power like them. Claudie, Karin, and Liztina. They had all become strong because they had gone through that process.

By repeating actual combat over a long period.

“You’re… a bit unusual. You became strong at too young an age. So you’re a bit lacking in those years of experience, but on the contrary, it feels like it’s compressed. Yes. I don’t really know. Think about it yourself. Sharp but a bit immature?”
“Hmm… experience, huh? Well, isn’t it just a matter of spending time?”
“There’s probably no other way.”

I just had to keep doing what I was doing. What Liztina was talking about was experience that came with age.

“Anyway, Noona. Let’s go again.”
“Really, you’re overflowing with motivation. Come on. I’ll be your opponent as much as you want today.”

After that, I spent time endlessly challenging Liztina.

I tried to simulate actual combat as much as possible, but my attacks didn’t really land. She created various situations and educated me by inducing my reactions.

After doing it for a while, my breathing became ragged, and sweat poured from my entire body.

Taking a break for a moment, I sprawled out, and Liztina, crouching next to me, poked my cheek and said.

“Consider it an honor, an honor. I only directly instruct the members once a month. And that’s in a group. You’re the only one besides Lisette who gets this kind of intensive personal tutoring.”
“Hehehe, of course it’s an honor. But is Lisette doing well?”
“She’s doing well except for not listening… No, but why are you asking about that?”

What?

“You don’t have strange feelings for Lisette, do you?”
“No, what makes you say that?”

Lisette’s breasts were a bit big, and she was pretty, but that guy was flawed from the start. No, scratch that. He was nothing short of a true chivalrous person. There’s no way I’d have strange feelings for a chivalrous person.

“You like women.”
“I do, but I like them because they’re my wives. I’m not interested in other women in the first place.”

Do I like every woman just because I like women?

“…Is that so?”

After resting for a bit, I got up and started sparring again. Chambermaid Kung Fu followed by Heavenly Demon Divine Art. I poured out everything I could do, but still, I couldn’t reach her.

But I was satisfied that she was blocking everything.

Because it meant I could become that much stronger.

“I’m gonna die, damn it, aah.”
“Good job. I had fun teaching someone for the first time in a while too.”

The sparring ended only after several hours had passed.

“Well, maybe it’s because you’re cute.”

As I was catching my breath, she came next to me and stroked my neck with a smile.

“And you’re manly too… Ah, I feel like I’m getting wet again…”
“Is this Noona suddenly…?”
“Kat, you’re only wearing shorts right now. You know how that looks in my eyes…”
“I guess so.”

Anyway, I had done enough sparring. After moving my body and finishing my martial arts training, the lust that had been dormant rose up.

“Then should we do it here?”

There was a Noona in front of me who I could do as I pleased with.

“Huh? At least wash up and make it comfortable…”
“It’s okay. We can wash up after we’re done.”
“Aah! Don’t just undress me without permission…”

Ignoring her, I undressed her. Doing it in an empty gym might feel a bit new. The sound would echo… No one would come, but it would feel special.

Anyway, I should ask her to come and take a look again when I get the chance next time.

* * *

As usual, with no work, I just spent my time focusing on training at home. From morning to noon, I spent time in endless self-improvement, and in the evening, I satisfied my wives as their stud until dawn.

It was only natural that my body felt sluggish from repeating that. There’s a limit to how manly a life can be. Fusion Confucianism doesn’t recognize a husband who doesn’t earn money.

I had to go out and earn money.

“Blackie, if you’re bored, should we go to the Adventurer’s Guild?”

After finishing my morning training and washing up, Winia closed her book and said that. It sounded like she was suggesting we go out, which was perfect.

“How do you know my heart so well?”
“Blackie doesn’t like being cooped up at home. And you wouldn’t listen even if I told you to stay home anyway.”

Winia said that while looking into my eyes.
W-was she angry at me right now?

“T-that’s. Winia. It’s not that I don’t listen to Winia, but if I don’t improve my skills by wielding my sword at this moment, my chances of moving forward into the future will be limited…”
“Yeah. I know. I know everything. Get dressed.”

I immediately grabbed my clothes and put them on. The weather was what it was, so just wearing pants and a shirt was appropriate. There was no need to arm myself, so I dressed lightly. Wearing a sword and tying my hair back was perfect.

“Hehe. And you’re long-winded.”
“I might be… It sounded like you were angry.”
“Why would I be angry at Blackie?”

I had been scolded by Rocket Heavenly Demon once before. It was a lecture mixed with concern about why I would volunteer to do something so dangerous.

But she scolded me while feeding me milk, so it didn’t feel like I was being scolded.

“Blackie needs to build up his skills. Become the strongest and make me live in luxury. Huh?”
“Hehehe, you’re stating the obvious.”

Anyway, I was all dressed. Winia asked Claudie, who was playing with Ari’s hair.

“What about you, Unnie?”
“Hmm… I can’t leave Ari home alone, can I? Go and come back.”
“Okay. Need anything?”
“Not really. Kat, have a good time?”
“Hehehe, yeah. I’ll be back soon.”

As soon as I stood in front of the door, Ari came out of Claudie’s arms and approached me.

“Father.”
“Yeah. What is it, Ari?”
“I want flowers…”

She said flowers hesitantly.
Ah, was she telling me to buy flowers when I came back?

“As seeds? Or in a pot?”
“I need seeds… Would that be okay?”
“Of course. I’ll bring them. Should I buy a few new pots too?”
“Yes!”

Ari nodded with a bright smile. I immediately waved my hand and went outside with Winia. And naturally, I carried Winia on my back.

“Ari listens to Blackie too well… Are you really going to be her Father?”
“Well, what can I do when the kid calls me that?”
“I’m a bit dissatisfied… Well, I guess she doesn’t seem like a bad kid.”

Winia said that while being carried on my back.

“She seems to follow Unnie a lot.”
“I guess so. Claudie is Mama, after all.”

It was only natural that she followed her because she was Mama.

“That Mama talk again. I’m worried that one day she’ll suddenly say she wants to be Blackie’s wife. Huh? Blackie. What should I do?”
“Is that even possible?”
“There’s such a beauty in the house, will Unnie leave her alone?”
“Hmm…”

Winia hugged my neck.
I hoped Claudie wouldn’t have strange thoughts.

“Winia. Still, I’ll always be your Blackie.”
“…Even if I become a super strong warrior like Unnie said?”
“Yeah.”
“If you break that promise, you’re dead.”
“I’ll become immortal then.”
“Whatever.”

As we walked, we arrived at the Adventurer’s Guild.

I immediately put Winia down and went inside to gather information.

Since a swarm of Drakes had appeared last time, many adventurers had flocked there.

That incident was roughly over, and from what I heard, there was a lot of talk about the Deathworm corpses. A large number of workers were needed, so adventurers were flocking there again, so now that Isvant was relatively empty, there would be plenty of work to do.

Deathworm.

Soon, I was planning to go see it with my wives, 맞춰서 일정대로 as Karin had said. Karin seemed to be busy with various procedures, so it seemed like it would be a bit late, but since she was curious, we would go.

Anyway, as I was looking at the guild bulletin board, I heard some information that caught my interest.

“Basilisk, huh… I can’t go that way.”
“That’s right. Honestly, even though there’s a reward, I don’t want to go. Didn’t everyone die because of that when the Ogre appeared a long time ago?”
“I agree.”

A group of adventurers sitting in the back were drinking beer and talking about that.

Basilisk? What were they talking about?

“Excuse me, I heard the word Basilisk, what happened?”

I immediately approached them and asked, and an adventurer who glanced at me chewed on jerky and answered in a relaxed tone.

“Ah, a barbarian warrior who’s often seen. They say a Basilisk is blocking the road right now, but it would be more accurate to hear it from the guild staff over there than from me.”

That would be better.

“Thank you.”

After saying goodbye, I went to the counter with Winia and asked about the Basilisk. I didn’t know what kind of monster it was, but if it looked promising, I could go catch it.
