Chapter 88 - Exchange of bodily fluids?!
Surprisingly, but not entirely unexpectedly, none of the antidote potions, rare materials, or healing magic offered by the Rivira adventurers had any effect on the curse on Ryu.
"Well, we had no choice. We used all precious items! We really used everything! I promise!"
Seeing Bors panicked and sweating, Noah waved his hand to interrupt him. "Alright, I know you did your best, I don't blame you. Go out, I'll remember your reward."
After Bors left and the room fell silent, Noah, who was deep in thought, suddenly saw Ryu staring at him with her eyes, like a child waiting for dinner.
"Shouldn't you be a little more nervous? If we still can't find a solution, you might die very soon."
Ryu took off her mask and tilted her head in confusion. "Why should I be nervous? It's your job to figure out a solution now, isn't it? Or are you going let me die? Either way, I'll never leave you."
The strangely familiar phrasing caused both of them to fall silent. Before Ryu could even smile, Noah narrowed his eyes. "I say, you trust me so much, could it be that you've fallen in love with me at first sight?"
Before she could even respond, Ryu's face flushed red, and veins even began to bulge on her fair forehead. "You! How dare you make of me?"
"Hmph, it's best if there isn't. After all, most so called love at first sight is just lust at first sight!"
Before Ryu could continue to refute, Noah removed his gauntlets and smeared some blood on the elf's vaguely exposed abdomen. "I can indeed save you, but whether you can accept the method is none of my business."
Then, Ryu saw Noah put his blood-stained finger into his mouth.
...
The Dungeon will regenerate its own terrain, so it is impossible to level the land and build houses. The hotels in Rivira are actually just relatively spacious and flat natural caves. The cave where Noah and Ryu were currently located had a very high ceiling, and the lighting in the wall crevices made the cave's unique sense of enclosure less noticeable.
However, even the most spacious space felt suffocating to Ryu at that moment. Although her abdomen was already numb from the pain of the cursed wound, when Noah's fingers touched it, Ryu still felt a tingling sensation spread throughout most of her body. Seeing Noah put his blood stained fingers in his mouth made her feel extremely ashamed.
But before she could even cry out, she sensed the strange change happening to Noah and her eyes widened in surprise. His short silver hair did not grow longer, and his skin did not change color. Apart from his blue eyes turning into a ruby red, there were no other unusual things happening to Noah.
Even so, the clear aura emanating from Noah became somewhat enigmatic. Like a misty veil under the moon, it is indistinct yet possesses a captivating allure that bewitches and enthralls. Even the fragrance emanating from him changed from refreshing to intoxicating and alluring.
The blood loss caused Ryu's body, which had been cold, to feel warm again, and her consciousness became hazy. In Ryu's understanding, the most similar situation is Beastification. This is a phenomenon that occurs only in a few types of demi humans. Apart from the disadvantage of greatly enhanced bestiality and decreased rationality, their strength, stamina, speed, and even defense are greatly improved. In short, it is an all round enhancement except for magic.
Of all the beast forms, the werewolf's beast form has the most demanding conditions, yet it is also the most powerful. The condition for werewolves to transform is to be bathed in moonlight, but where can they see the moon in the Dungeon? Even on the surface, the sky has its sunny and rainy days, the moon has its phases, and moonlit nights aren't always available. However, the physical abilities of werewolves under the moon are considered to surpass those of all other races.
If a vice captain were to be chosen from among the Astraea Familia, in addition to the captain, Alise, and the vice captain, Kaguya, the generally accepted candidate would be the Neze. Ryu had witnessed Neze's transformation under the moonlight.
Ryu didn't know whether Noah's fighting power had increased. However, Ryu could clearly sense the danger emanating from him... in fact, it was as if alarm bells were ringing! This danger was not the danger to enemies, but the danger to women!
What's going on with me?
Drawing his sword and using it as a mirror, Noah blinked his bright red eyes, feeling the various changes in his body's bloodline after it was activated by the blood. However, apart from feeling a little excited and slightly feverish, there seemed to be nothing unusual.
"Hmm, vampire? I can't really say, this is the first time I've seen this kind of change."
After watching for a while, Noah tossed the sword aside, winked at Ryu, and his eyes seemed somewhat alluring. "But no matter what, as long as I can save you, that's enough."
She couldn't hear what Noah was saying at all, but when Ryu saw his gaze, she instinctively covered her neck and lower abdomen wound, which felt a little cold. "What... what do you mean?"
"I can build circuits and enhance each other's magic by exchanging bodily fluids with women, and I feel that my magic can break this curse. As long as I pour my magic into your body, the curse will naturally be lifted!"
Exchange of bodily fluids?!
The word was as stimulating to the elf as chugging down a large bottle of super strong liquor that could be set on fire! Her pale face instantly turned red, and the half dead Ryu suddenly sat up in shock, trying to escape.
But as soon as she straightened up, Noah pushed her back onto the bed. Not only that, Noah also grabbed her hands and placed them on either side of her head, half sitting on the elf's body. Although Noah had already held her, the meaning of being held and being pressed down on the bed like this were absolutely different.
"What... what do you want to do?"
Sensing the strong presence of Noah, Ryu couldn't even muster the strength to struggle, let alone resist. Not only was her face flushed, but even her pointy ears were tinged red, and her eyes were misty with tears.
"L-Let me go right now... no, or I'll..."
Although her tone was threatening, her voice was so soft that Noah couldn't help but feel himself melt.
