Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 532 The Correct Way to Exploit Bugs

Late at night, a shadow slipped into Luke's room without making a sound.

Shadow untied her cloak, climbed up from the foot of the bed into the covers, and pressed herself against Lu Ke. Her body was cool and carried a faint smell of blood as she greedily absorbed the warmth from the man's body.

Elsa, the assassin from the North, known as the "Gut Hunter".

Knowing her predicament, Elsa, a former enemy, left the party silently with her sister Melly after the battle, without even joining the banquet.

While the other women, each with their own agendas, passed out drunk, she became the survivor.

"It's so warm... I must like your body temperature to fall in love with you."

Elsa rested her head on his strong chest and couldn't help but start licking it, making Luke feel a little itchy and awkward, so he pushed the vampire away.

"Stop, Elsa, I don't have any blood for you to suck. Even if you wanted to, you should have found the right place."

“The right place…” Elsa didn’t look at her neck, but instead glanced down reflexively. After realizing what she was doing, she chuckled softly and shook her head.

During her time in solitary confinement, she was practically trained to be Luke's personal female beast...

Elsa pressed herself against him again, enjoying the warmth from his body, and flirted in a gentle, watery tone: "Has anyone ever told you that your heartbeat is very reassuring?"

She pointed to Lu Ke's heart with her finger, as if making a comment.

"Stable, powerful, healthy, and vibrant, it makes you feel that this heart will keep beating like this forever."

Lu Ke was somewhat speechless: "Is your only way of judging a person their internal organs?"

"There's nothing we can do; this is the lifestyle of the 'gut hunters,' and we can't change it."

Elsa's lips curved into a silent smile. Like a normal woman, she nestled in Luke's arm. After a while, once she had warmed up, she slowly spoke:
"I plan to take Merry back to the North."

Gustich, one of the four great kingdoms, has a cold climate. Its central region is mostly mountainous and snows all year round, making it suitable only for growing cold-resistant crops. It is the country with the harshest environment.

Compared to the harsh environment, Gustik, as a theocratic state, is controlled by the church, and the "Holy King" selected by the sacred beast Ode Glass is just a puppet.

The country's economy is mainly based on livestock breeding and the mining of magic ore. Slavery, human trafficking, labor exploitation, and high taxes... even the poorest people struggle to make ends meet.

Luke glanced at Elsa indifferently: "If I remember correctly, you should hate your hometown."

Elsa raised her palm, examined the lines on her hand, and calmly replied:
"Of course, the North is too cold, not just in terms of climate, but also in the atmosphere between people, which is why it's suitable for me and Meili to survive..."

“Merry and I have blood on our hands, so we can never be partners in a hero’s life. Killing on the orders of my employer is not an excuse for me to run away. The knife is innocent, but I have my own thoughts. It was I who made the decision to become an assassin, choosing the easiest path of killing on the orders of others, so…”

Elsa didn't finish her sentence. She tilted her head back, her beautiful face filled with a dreamy look. "Even now, what I crave is still blood and entrails, warmth in the cold wind... It's all I need except you."

Lu Ke pondered for a moment: "I can cure psychological problems."

"Ha, I know, I know. You're so omnipotent, you can do more than just a minor mental disorder. You could even turn back the clock and change the entire timeline."

Elsa flipped over and straddled Luke, licking her lips. "If you're willing to help, I'll be very happy, freed from the 'cursed doll,' rid of my half-vampire status, and cleansed of the bloodstains..."

"However, I have already tasted the bitter fruit of choosing the easiest path, so let me decide for myself what to do next."

Luke raised his hand and touched Elsa's face: "Compared to a certain wicked witch who doesn't know how to reflect, you're not so bad. But it's really surprising to hear 'Gut Hunter' say such a thing. I don't remember ever doing any ideological work on you."

"Who knows? Maybe it's because I really like you..."

Elsa smiled and placed her hands on Luke's abdomen, feeling the life force rising and falling with his breath. Her cheeks flushed slightly, as if she could taste the freshness of the blood and internal organs beneath his skin.

Can I swear to you?

In this world, when a promise is made, a witness is usually chosen. The highest oath of the Northern Kingdom of Gustik is the sacred beast Ode Glass, one of the four great spirits, while the highest oath of the Dragon-owning Kingdom of Lugnica is naturally the divine dragon Polkenica.

Luke lazily closed his eyes. "Okay, but think it over carefully. If you swear an oath to me, you must not break it, whether or not you use contract magic."

"The result was as expected, but it suits me just the way it is."

Elsa lowered her eyes and solemnly said, "I swear in Luke's name that I will never kill innocent people again, never be a butcher in the underworld, never drink the blood of others, never commit evil deeds... and forever be a prisoner whose life is controlled by you."

As she spoke her last words, Elsa felt an invisible shackle binding her. It was tangible, yet she felt that if she violated it, she would die instantly, and even the "vampire's blessing" could not revive her.

"It's quite an interesting feeling, like my heart is being gripped tightly." She got up from the bed, draped the cloak over herself, took one last deep look at Luke, and smiled to the side.

"Although the 'Gut Hunter' no longer exists, Merry and I will do even more amazing things in Gustik, so don't worry about missing my stories~"

After saying her last words, Elsa nimbly left the house and disappeared into the deep night.

…………

The next day, early morning.

As soon as Lu Ke entered the living room, he saw Kazuma Sato and Subaru Natsuki huddled together discussing something, with the latter's panic visibly visible on his face.

"What are you talking about?"

"Senior, something terrible has happened! My [Return by Death] is gone!"

Upon seeing Riku, Natsuki Subaru rushed forward as if he had seen a savior, took out his Adventurer Card, and found that the [Return by Death] skill, which had been grayed out and unusable in his active skill bar, had completely disappeared.

He said with a long face, "I just tested it, and even if I tell someone 'Return by Death,' they won't pinch my heart anymore. What's going on?"

Is it reasonable for an adventurer to have no skill slots at all?

Kazuma Sato snapped his fingers like a master detective, "I suspect that after the 'Jealousy Witch' was resealed, she can no longer infiltrate her power into the outside world. What do you think, Luke?"

Lu Ke: "..."

Luke: "Kazuma is right. After all, he fought a great battle with the Divine Dragon and the Sword Saint, so he probably can't interfere with the outside world anymore... or maybe he's lost interest in you."

Natsuki Subaru breathed a sigh of relief, but then became a little worried.

"But if I do that, won't I lose all my skills?"

I feel like the [Archbishop of Sin] class is a bit of a rip-off. They can't learn any other skills, just one passive skill: [Adaptability]. And to increase their combat power, they need "Witch Factors." Ugh, he didn't kill a single one of the [Archbishops of Sin] who invaded yesterday. Does this mean he'll never be able to acquire any skills in his life?!
Lu Ke stroked his chin and nodded thoughtfully: "That's true. The two of you are dragging the team down too much right now. With your current strength, you'd be more likely to embarrass yourselves than show off in other worlds."

"Alright, I'll give you two a boost as a reward for your hard work yesterday."

To enhance strength?

Kazuma Sato and Subaru Natsuki exchanged a glance, both seeing the joy in each other's eyes.

…………

After one hour.

The five-member Kazuma Squad, along with Natsuki Subaru, one of the "Otherworld Duo" who is an unofficial member and part-time captain, and the object of his affair, appear on the plains outside the royal city.

"So why did you wake this goddess up so early in the morning?!"

Aqua threw a tantrum, seemingly because she had been praised too highly by the public yesterday, with the Axis sect's members surpassing the Church of Eris for the first time, making her a little conceited.

Luke walked over and stroked the water goddess's hair, speaking softly in a tone that sounded like he was coaxing a fool: "Be good, this trip is to strengthen the team, which will be beneficial in defeating the Demon King, and we can't do without Aqua."

"Is...is that so? Since Lu Ke has said so, this goddess is not unreasonable. If it helps in defeating the Demon King..."

Aqua muttered to herself, then suddenly remembered something and took a step back alertly, causing Luke's hand to miss its target.

Yesterday's experience of being suddenly chased by the "black snake" made Aqua realize that it is forbidden for a goddess to fall in love with a mortal.

Although she and Lu Ke are completely innocent, she would subconsciously seek his help when she encountered trouble, and would coax him to give her some more when she ran out of money. When she was full and lustful, she couldn't help but touch his abs and pecs. But it would be bad if Lu Ke misunderstood her and fell deeply in love with her.

After all, she is the noble goddess of water, beautiful and with a great figure (no fake breasts), a good personality, and so useful. Any normal man would like her, especially Lu Ke, who has just come of age and must have that kind of thing on his mind!

Huihui excitedly tugged at Luke's sleeve, "Hey~ Luke, are we going to launch here today? It's a rare opportunity to come to another world, I want to do it five times today, is that okay?"

Darkness blushed deeply and argued, "That's too explicit, Huihui! How can you say something like that in broad daylight?"

"No, normally everyone in the team would know I meant to launch an explosion spell, right? Darkness, the fact that you misunderstood just shows that your thoughts are rather lewd, doesn't it?"

Huihui snorted and stared at Darkness's chest with jealousy: "And the most sexy ones are clearly your pair of big and perky super breasts."

"Ugh... I was accused of being vulgar in front of so many people!"

Darkness blushed and covered her chest, looking incredibly pleased.

Subaru Natsuki's expression turned strange as he looked at Riku with a mixture of admiration and curiosity, and whispered:
"Um, senior, are you perhaps...someone involved in the BDSM community?"

Lu Ke glanced at the rookie and deliberately scared him: "That's right, and I think you have a real talent for being a submissive, 486. Want to try it out?"

"No, no, no, I have absolutely no interest in that."

Natsuki Subaru was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and shook his head repeatedly.

“If you’re done chatting, get straight to the point, hurry up, Luke.”

Sato waited anxiously for Lu Ke, and said the most cowardly thing in the fiercest tone: "Don't force me to kneel down and beg you."

Luke smiled and had Huihui use Explosion Magic to blast a huge crater in the open space in front of him. Then, to the astonishment of the others, he took out a rabbit with horns on its head and blood-red eyes.

The "Great Rabbit," one of the three great magical beasts.

Luke threw the "Big Rabbit" into the crater. Attracted by the intense magic of the explosion magic, the "Big Rabbit" sniffed and immediately began to eat, devouring the magic-tainted soil and rocks, and constantly splitting into new individuals, quickly multiplying into a small colony.

He then looked at the idiotic goddess who was still lost in her fantasy and said, "Aqua, pour water into the crater."

"I understand, is that alright?"

Having received a definite answer, Aqua raised her hands, closed her eyes, and summoned holy water from the void that could purify evil to fill the crater.

"Warcraft" is not the same as "evil". The reason why "Black Serpent" was defeated was simply because the deadly virus it carried was cured and suppressed. "White Whale" and "Big Rabbit" are not afraid of holy water.

On the contrary, the magical holy water was the food of the "Great Rabbits," so the water level in the crater dropped rapidly, and the number of "Great Rabbits" increased dramatically, to the point that they were almost overflowing.

Luke gently waved his hand, took out a single "Big Rabbit," and gestured "please" to the person who possessed the Adventurer Card and could fight monsters and level up.

"Damn, is this even allowed?"

As modern high school students who frequently play games and level up, Kazuma Sato and Subaru Natsuki instantly understood Luke's plan, and looked on with disbelief as the three great monsters turned into constantly respawning monster spawn points.

"Miniya!"

Kazuma Sato excitedly allocated all his skill points to the magic arrows he had learned from Beatrice, a few Yin magic attacks that could freeze time, and shot them at "Big Rabbit" without hesitation.

With him taking the lead, Huihui also realized what was happening and began to recover quickly, ready to use Explosion Magic to attack as soon as she had enough magic power.

"Explosion!"

"Miniya!"

Explosions and shattering sounds rang out continuously. Whenever the number of "Big Rabbits" was insufficient, Aqua, who almost never lacked mana, would start to exert her power.

"In that case, I'm going too!"

Darkness blushed and her heart pounded as she rushed into the crater. Her body, tempered by Luke, had already broken through its defense limits. Neither the "Big Rabbit" nor any kind of attack magic could truly harm her; they would only add a little fun.

When surrounded by enemies, even with a zero hit rate, Darkness's experience bar starts to rise rapidly.

Subaru Natsuki, who lacked ranged skills and had weak basic combat abilities, stared wide-eyed and was extremely anxious.

No, the reading is too loud!!!
"Senior, what should I do?"

Lu Ke glanced at the unlucky guy who couldn't keep up, took out a clump of unidentified tissue that was beating like a heart, and smiled slightly.

“You have this.”
