Chapter 44: Next Target: The Battlefield
Once the footsteps had faded away completely, Miss Skuld turned her head and glared at Leo fiercely, "Master, you are so bad—Oh~"
Before she could finish her sentence, Leo covered her mouth and continued to move.
The sleeping bag was narrow, with two people squeezed inside. Though their movements were small, there was a certain charm to it.
"Mmm~ Boohoo~ Hot~ Sticky…"
"Master… you… are so bad…"
"I… I can’t take it anymore…"
[You and Mucus Avatar Luna have completed your first fusion, and your physical and body state have both returned to their peak.]
[You and Mucus Avatar Luna have completed your first fusion, gaining 5 free attribute points, now you have 5 free attribute points.]
[You and Mucus Avatar Luna have completed your first fusion, you can choose one ability from hers. Do you want to choose one now?]
……
After feeding Miss Skuld’s avatar, Leo unzipped his sleeping bag, sat up, and gasped for air.
The stuffy sleeping bag almost suffocated him inside.
But the next second, the cold air spread over his sweaty skin, making him shiver uncontrollably.
"Master, put on the cloak," Ms. Skuld kindly picked up the robe and draped it over Leo.
"Alright, thank you." Leo shrugged as he put on the clothes.
Because he had to rush to Winter Fortress the next morning, he didn’t have extra time to feed Ms. Skuld’s other avatars.
"Master, are we really going to Winter Fortress?" Avatar Luna also crawled out of her sleeping bag, sitting with her feet propped up in a daze.
"Yes, we are going." Leo finished getting dressed, lifted her chin, and admired the knight’s graceful beauty.
The knight’s looks were very high, comparable to Skuld’s other avatars, but her style was quite different.
The avatars from Joyful Church, whether it was Tina, Lani, or Reni, all had a bewitching charm that gave off an alluring air.
But Lucy was different; the knight naturally radiated energy, purity, and nobility. This quality gave Leo an unprecedented freshness, making him desire to possess her and wanting to see a wildness appear on her meticulous face as she fell into love and lust.
"But… Master, didn’t you say that the situation at Winter Fortress is very dangerous? After all, it is… a war."
Thanks to the memories of many forms, Miss Mucus can now understand the meaning of war. That is why she does not want to get involved.
"It is because of the war that we must go…" Leo said with a smile, "Didn’t you say that you are about to awaken a new ability?"
"Yes, Master. After eating the bodies of the Joyful Believers from the night of the Reni attack and those few unconscious White Cavalry Army soldiers, I feel I will soon have a new ability."
"Hmm." Leo nodded, and he could roughly guess how Miss Mucus would evolve.
Assimilation is naturally the best, because it allows Miss Mucus to gain all the memories and abilities of those she devours, helping her grow.
But besides that, consuming the bodies of extraordinary beings can also provide nourishment for Miss Mucus.
"Skuld, whether it’s a barely alive believer or the body of an extraordinary being…" Thinking of this, Leo looked into Miss Mucus’s eyes, "There is one place where there are the most."
"…the battlefield." Skuld’s eyes lit up as she finally understood her master’s meaning.
She quickly hugged Leo’s neck, hanging her whole body on him. Although her face remained expressionless, her tone was full of love and joy.
"So, Master, are you going to the battlefield just for me? Wuwuwu, Master, I really love you so much! Skuld loves you the most!"
"Um." Leo rubbed her golden hair, feeling a bit embarrassed by this sudden confession.
Although helping Skuld grow was one of his goals, Leo actually had some other plans.
If you asked him where the safest place in the world was, Leo might not be sure.
But where it is most chaotic, that must be the battlefield.
The battlefield, after all, is the best place to fish in troubled waters…
The weapons, relics, and even the spell scrolls carried by the believers are left behind on the ever-changing battlefield; no one collects them.
He was not a soldier whose family lived in the capital, nor a believer brainwashed by a cult. In this world, the only person he had a bond with was Miss Skuld.
He went to the battlefield, ready to take any advantage he could.
If the situation looked bad, he could find two bodies, cover himself and Skuld with them, use "Perceived Suffocation," and pretend to be dead until the main forces left. Then he could change to another battlefield.
If that didn’t work, he could become invisible on the battlefield and sneak away.
There is no place more suitable for Leo and Miss Skuld as a team than the battlefield.
As for Winter Fortress, what about Marquis Logan, the Order Sect, and humanity…
They probably have nothing to do with the current Leo.
Do as much as you can; watching over humanity is not a task for a small mid-level believer like him.
"Alright, alright, I’ll work on getting stronger. You put on your clothes; the sun will rise soon," Leo said, pushing Skuld, who was hanging on him like a tree vine, away and looking at his status panel.
Miss Skuld let out a little hum and started putting on her clothes while humming a tune.
Her body shape was very perfect. Although her chest was not very big, only reaching a B cup, her long legs were very attractive.
She was almost 1.8 meters tall, nearly matching Leo, and I think her legs were about 1.2 meters.
Because of her long legs.
Due to her regular exercise, her long legs did not look like the thin ones of tall women in Leo’s world; instead, they were well-proportioned and radiated health and beauty.
Leo couldn’t help but look at her a little longer before focusing on the attribute panel again.
He now had five free attribute points, and his Spiritual Vision had reached 20 points. According to his plan, he should raise his physique to 15 points.
On one hand, the physique was linked to the duration of all his current abilities.
On the other hand, when his Spiritual Vision had reached 15 points before, his True Vision Eye gained a new ability. With this experience, Leo wanted to see if reaching 15 points in any attribute would also grant a new ability.
With that in mind, he no longer hesitated and placed all his points into physical strength.
Then, his panel changed to:
[Strength: 2]
[Agility: 3]
[Physical Strength: 15]
[Charm: 7]
[Intelligence: 6]
[Spiritual Vision: 20]
At the same time, the voice of the system echoed in his ear:
"Your physical strength value has reached 15 points, awakening ability: self-healing."
