While Others Cultivate, I Use My Multiverse System Chapter 19: The price of it all

Chapter 19: The price of it all

"Oh my G.o.d… I have no idea what to say. It was this awesome."

Leaning forward while sitting on the bed, I fought hard to regain a stable breath along with my vision. Due to the events of several moments in the past, I could feel my entire body being weak, relaxed to its absolute limits.

"Didn't I tell you that I would take good care of you?"

Smiling at me with that mischievous lips of hers, Ayda forced my sight away. Her gaze glued to my face with a satisfaction filling her eyes was more than I could handle in my current state.

"But you have to admit…"

Finally moving up from her back, Ayda sent me an eye before fixing her robes. It seemed that over the course of the session that she brought to me, her attire didn't manage to hold to its usual position. As hard it was even to imagine before she started cleaning herself up, Ayda was exposing even more of her skin than usual, bringing me to the point of debate where laid the border between nudity and actually being dressed?

"... this slime has some insane effects, doesn't it?"

Raising her hand, covered by that thick fluid all the way to her elbow, Ayda momentarily directed her eyes to her chest, only to smile with that familiar mischievous expression before scooping up the several drops of this thick liquid from her cleavage.

"Yeah. I would never believe that something as repulsive could produce such a great drug… I can't recall a single day in my life when my muscles would feel so at ease. It's as if I'm a completely different human being right now."

Stretching my body in all directions, I had no choice but to admit that as surprising as it was for me, this strange, slimy fluid had some great properties. No matter when or what, never did any concoction heat my muscles up so much!

Or maybe it happened because of a sensual yet strong at the same time ma.s.sage that Ayda offered to me? Honestly speaking, just thinking back to when her delicate fingers kneaded my back or legs when her entire body rubbed against my skin… At some point, I couldn't help but think that she was enjoying this ma.s.sage just as much as I did!

"I know this wasn't… pleasant before, but you need to discover as many vivid emotions as you can. With each of them capable of holding some kind of intent, this is generally the only way to practice witchcraft. Outside of using the emotions of others…"

Speaking out, Ayda suddenly lowered her gaze, as if saddened by something.

"While I can't stop you from manifesting witchcraft through the emotions of others… Unless absolutely necessary, please remember."

Despite how relaxed the atmosphere was just a few moments ago, now Ayda looked completely serious. No longer the sparks of mischief illuminated the inner part of her eyes. Rather than that, this girl looked at me with a strangely intense gaze.

"Remember."

Repeating this word once again even though she had yet to tell me what I was supposed to remember, Ayda took a deep breath right after.

"When you base your witchcraft of the emotions of others, not only it makes it harder to invoke given emotion, but this price is something that both you and your target have to pay. Just keep in mind that only you decided to agree to it."

Shaking her head as if in an attempt to chase away the painful memories that suddenly surfaced in her mind, Ayda actually took a while to calm herself down.

"Anyway, let's stop dawdling. Lemme see…"

Suddenly leaning to the side, Ayda's face relaxed as some other train of thoughts took the lead of her adorable head. Reaching forth with her arm, this lovely girl grabbed the lock on the window shuts before pus.h.i.+ng them open. Right after that, a sound of the raindrops falling filled our room.

"Great. Just what we needed. Come with me."

Strangely happy about the rain, Ayda quickly crawled down from the bed, giving me a show of her curves on her way there. Sadly, I wasn't given any chance to enjoy the view, as she quickly pulled me out of the bed, quickly leading me towards the main doors of the tavern we were staying at.

Stepping outside of the doors without even a hint of hesitation, Ayda quickly pushed me even further into the wall of water.

"Now, invoke the same feeling as you had when seeing me squish that worm!"

Shouting her instructions, Ayda most likely forgot about how… unladylike her words were. Or at least, that's what I wanted to believe.

Ignoring all the distractions along with those born from my mind, I focused on my memories of that moment. The great contrast between an insanely cute and touchy-feely young girl, and the abhorrent, wiggling bug in her hand. As if to make things worse for my attempts, I couldn't help but find similarities with the image in my head and the picture that some of Ayda's advances made my l.u.s.t imagine.

"f.u.c.k…"

Cursing softly, I forcefully pushed aways the strange vision of this girl kneeling in front of me and holding something of a similar colour to that bug. I was supposed to invoke my repulsion, not my lewdness!

Only after several attempts did I feel that strange muscle of mine move. And in one moment, the raindrops stopped hitting against my already wet body.

"You did it!"

Cheering me up from the side, Ayda didn't seem to realise that her luxurious dress… was now sticking perfectly to her body, leaving even less to my imagination. In some places, her clothing was already losing its function of covering anything. And to top it all off, instead of remaining on the side where she congratulated me first, this d.a.m.ned girl trodded forward before throwing herself in my arms!

"... f.u.c.k!"

Still holding onto this feeling of repulsion, I was simply too slow to change the leading feeling in my soul. Right as Ayda's soft and insanely attractive body was about to let me enjoy its warmth, the same force that held back the drops of rain above our heads… Stopped…

Or that's what I thought it would happen. For a briefest of moments, Ayda hung in the air, unable to move either forward or to the back. But before I could even blink my eyes, I felt as if someone suddenly challenged my muscle only to instantly defeat it. The next second, I could feel the warmth of my young teacher wrapping all over my body. With how we were both completely wet, I was unable to imagine anything, as my skin alone could pick up all the tiniest details of Ayda's bare flesh.

"And this is how witches fight."

Pulling her head away a bit to say those words in my face instead of whispering them to my ear, Ayda couldn't stop her lips from smiling.

"Rather than holding the drops, you should try to change their trajectory. Instead of pus.h.i.+ng at everything around you, push only at the things that you wish to keep at a distance. Remember, the rules of acting flashy do not apply here. Every last bit of energy that you use to influence the world around you with your craft, means that at least some of your emotions will dull for no reason. And you need to be aware of how sparing reserves every human has."

This time, it was the turn of the Ayda's words to shock me and render me unable to move. Only now did I notice one of the obvious problems behind the witchcraft. With my emotions being finite… Once I would run out of them, I would remain as a powerless empty sh.e.l.l of a man, unable to feel anything else in my life!

"And here is a small reward. Not only for doing a great job, but also to help you discover even more emotions."

Smiling with a strangely worrying hint of sadness hidden deep in her eyes, Ayda once again leaned forward, but this time she didn't move her head to the side. Instead, she went right for it.

Feeling the touch of her soft lips pus.h.i.+ng against my mouth, I was at first confused… Only for a wave of insane attraction to suddenly hit my senses. In one moment, I could only think of the soft warmth beside my lips, simply improved by the wet tip of Ayda's tongue meeting with mine.

Placing my hands on the girl's waist, I held her in place as my kissing turned more and more desperate, greedy. After just a moment, our tongues were already tightly entangled, unwilling to let go of each other. And then it ended.

Just like that, Ayda pulled herself away before licking her lips clean with a mischievous smile.

"Strong emotions like l.u.s.t, attraction or even love… Do not mess around with them. While they might give you an insane power, they are too important to waste on simple witchcraft."
