Chapter 233 Lightning Element
Selene's eyes narrowed, oblivious to the changes in Nikolai, her soft lips oozing blood and saliva as she lost herself sucking his blood. The sudden convulsion and movements of Nikolai only stimulated more of his blood to flow into her mouth, intoxicating her.
—Hyan~♡
'So delicious, I want more~ give me more of you... fill all of me with your blood, cover me in your scent and let me feel all of you!'
A perverted woman, a vampire honest to her desires, Selene's mind and body became at ease, able to display her honest affection and dark thoughts towards Nikolai.
"Nnnm~ Nikolai... it's so sweet and delicious..."
—Pah♡
The moment she pulled back, an arc of drool and blood formed a bridge, dripping down onto her neck and chin, covering her pale and soft red lips.
Selene's face looked even more erotic and enchanting, a beautiful and dangerous woman who would be a man's downfall, and yet one who was the epitome of beauty and desire, the embodiment of the male fantasy.
With blissful eyes, narrowed and wet, she extended her tongue, sliding it across his bloody neck, licking all his blood like a kitten.
As she cleaned, her tongue licked upward along his chin and cheeks, and she noticed his strange facial expression.
—Kya♡
"What's the matter?" Nikolai's eyes flicked towards her, a strange flicker of light coming from his pupils as they narrowed, creating a cold yet affectionate gaze.
He stared into Selene's eyes as his face grew nearer, not stopping until they were inches apart from each other's faces.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Selene..."
"Nnnh!"
Selene shuddered in pleasure as his voice caressed her, unable to resist as his hands grabbed her waist. Her eyes trembled, darting around as if to avoid gazing at him while biting her lower lip.
'He looks different... why is my chest pounding just looking at him now?!'
Nikolai's eyes narrowed, wondering why her cheeks looked so red as she avoided his gaze with wet eyes while gasping.
In reality, he still struggled from the continuous jolts from the strange lightning that forced itself into his body... now coiled around his black heart in the centre of the other two like a snake.
But right now, something else mattered more to him than that...
"Ah, wait..." Selene gasped in surprise as Nikolai hugged her, his hands brushing through her hair and stroking her body as if looking for something. "W-What's wrong?!"
—Hyan♡♡
Selene's voice cracked, raising a pitch as her body trembled from his touch.
The slightest touch caused a sudden tingling heat to grow inside her sensitive body, causing her to gasp and groan. She tried to hide her reactions.
Selene's face flushed from the sensation of his touch, which caused her thoughts to become distant. They swam from her mind as Nikolai's embrace intoxicated her, engulfing her with his warmth and thick scent.
"S-Stop... I am going to lose my... self..."
The words Selene spoke made Nikolai stop in confusion.
—Gasp~
"You're acting odd, and your eyes seem strange..." Selene gasped between breaths, trying to calm the sensations assaulting her. Biting her lower lip from embarrassment, she looked into his eyes as if entranced. "You are not in pain anymore?"
"I'm much better, sorry for worrying you."
Nikolai's calm smile and the way his hands wrapped around her back easily made Selene feel secure...
The gentleness of his voice made her heart beat faster, and a strange sensation spread from her head and neck throughout her body, filling her with warmth.
Like a gentle flame, caressing and cradling her.
"Mm... I was worried; the tiger was really big, " she mumbled, letting herself relax.
Selene closed her eyes and sank her head onto his shoulder, feeling the softness of his hair brush her cheeks.
"Well, the foolish cat didn't know how to use her power properly. Otherwise, I might have been in danger. I wonder why the monsters suddenly became so strong..."
Selene's ears pricked up when she heard the quiet question at the end, most likely something he asked himself rather than her.
However, she knew the reason, and while shifting slightly, not wanting to move from the warm and comfortable spot, she opened one of her eyes slightly, watching as he strolled towards the exit, still holding her with both arms.
"It's because..."
"Because?"
"When you enter the tower... somehow, it can assess the strength of those who enter it."
"Really, that sounds quite impressive, even hidden strength?"
Nikolai's voice flickered with excitement and curiosity. Selene could feel his hands grasping her tighter and tapping her hips while he spoke.
'This... I've never seen this cute side of him! Ahhh ♡♡ so lovely.'
"Though normal monsters seem to be random in strength, once you reach the 30th floor when each floor has a boss, their strength is based on the people who enter." Selene sighed and then continued. "So, since you and me are so powerful, even the normal monsters are much more powerful than if you entered alone.
Selene hid her inner thoughts while trying to remain calm outside, but her red cheeks and sparkling eyes almost gave her away. While Nikolai asked questions about the tower, they reached the 39th-floor entrance.
'So it's worth coming to the tower more often... I'm glad she told me this.'
"Ah... but don't be reckless, husband...♡ The monsters on the last floor are much stronger... beyond the entrants current strength, it's set to be a true challenge."
Once she revealed this, rather than discouraging Nikolai... his steps became faster, a desire to see the so-called boss of the thirtieth set of floors.
"Shall we take a look?"
His excitement was obvious, causing Selene's relaxed mood to slip away.
Her fingers dug into his muscles, showing her anger. While he smiled innocently at her, his eyes flickered toward the large door of the next level.
"Nikolai..."
"Hmm?"
"Can we take a break, I-I'm a little tired..."
"...Sure, I guess a break can't hurt."
Selene's body squirmed, unable to resist the urge, and she raised her hand, placing her slender and pale fingers over his lips and then sliding it over.
"You were really amazing earlier."
'Selene's been so aggressive since Lunaria left... is it to make up for the loss, or was Selene the aggressive one all along, using the Luna's presence to mask it?'
He tried to remember how Selene resisted when they first met and always looked angry when he approached her.
'Now...'
Nikolai's back rested against the large door while Selene sat between his thighs, her chest against his, now several bite marks on his neck from where she enjoyed her meal, supper and dessert.
Hmmm~♡
"I feel much better now, husband."
"You are a lot less pale, do you feel okay?"
Nn~♡
Selene's fingers swished through his hair, creating small hearts in the air formed with her blood magic that popped when they touched Nikolai's cheek, her blood soaking back into his body.
'But when... when did she start calling me husband?'
"I feel wonderful. My body feels light and..." Selene bit her lower lip and closed her eyes. Her hands wrapped around Nikolai's head as she leaned in and kissed his neck. "You can't imagine what it feels to drink such delicious blood."
"I'll take your word on that."
Nikolai moved the hair out of Selene's face and pulled her close.
Though he wanted to move forward and face the boss, he also didn't mind waiting a little longer, not to mention Selene was acting so differently from her usual self.
It was obvious she was still exhausted from the fight, but Nikolai knew she wouldn't admit it.
'She's definitely stubborn...'
In this way, they spent a while quietly in the dungeon together.
After resting for a short while, Nikolai carried Selene through the 39th floor.
"Aren't you getting a little too used to this?"
"Oh my, but you seem to enjoy the soft sensation of my little ass on your shoulder."
"Tsk... in what world is it small?"
"Fufu~ I know you like them big, darling."
Selene giggled and poked her finger into his cheek.
'The way he frowns and pretends to dislike it makes my spine tingle, aha. ♡♡'
The way her legs kicked about, and her playful nature made him question if his little princess realised they were about to fight a monster.
—Pah ♡
"Ouch... Why are you slapping my ass?"
"Haha, that's my reward for carrying you princess style."
"Well... I can let you off this time."
The two laughed as the door of the boss' room creaked open, revealing a dark purple portal flickering and undulating in the air.
However, unlike the others, which seemed like a small puddle of water floating in the air, this portal was enormous, filling the entire back wall.
"Are we going to jump in together, husband? Fufu..."
"Then, I shall escort you this time, M'lady."
Selene failed to notice the crackling lightning that arced between his claws upon entering the boss' room.
The flicker of lightning was quite similar to the emerald tigers.
