The World Is Mine For The Taking-Chapter 1078 - 166 - To The Next Location (3)

She came out to me like some sort of... I don’t even know, honestly. Like something that just materialized out of nowhere purely to mess with my sense of normalcy. It was the kind of unexpected appearance that makes you freeze for a second and question reality itself. I mean, sure, I’d seen a lot of weird things lately—things that should’ve been enough to numb me already—but apparently the world had decided that my personal threshold for "weird" wasn’t high enough yet. And then she just appeared, as casually as someone stepping out from behind a curtain.

"It’s certainly weird to see an offspring of Lilith here," she said, smiling like this whole situation was an afternoon tea conversation. "Particularly someone this manly. I’ve watched your passionate move together with Agneis. It was pretty hot, I couldn’t really put my eyes out from watching it. Say, do you take another one?"

She winked. Actually winked. Like she was offering a snack and not whatever the hell that suggestion was.

And the worst part? I had absolutely no idea if she was joking or legitimately trying to climb into my rotation. Her voice had that playful lilt, but the wink... well, the wink kind of pushed the odds toward "she’s dead serious."

"You don’t have to pay her mind, Leon," Agneis cut in, sounding a bit irritated but mostly resigned. "Why are you here, Luna?"

Luna tilted her head with that lazy confidence only a troublemaker or a cat could have. "Can’t I come and see someone I’ve been friends with for a long time? I mean, when that friend finally gets herself a lover, am I not allowed to be curious about who it is? And I just found out it’s one of Lilith’s offspring. Isn’t that surprising?"

"What’s so surprising about it?" Agneis shot back. "I am a woman who got interested in someone who seems capable of being my man. Of course I’d want to get into Leon’s arms. Not only is he pretty handsome, but he’s also someone who is capable... and interesting, to say the least."

"Oh?" Luna looked straight at me, eyes narrowing just a little, like she was assessing me again from scratch. "That’s surprising. I thought for sure you’d gotten curious with him because he’s one of the fragments of Lilith. I guess I was wrong."

"Well, I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t interested in him for that specific reason," Agneis admitted. But then she looked at me—really looked—with a softer expression I’d never seen her use before. No teasing smirk. No seductive grin. Just a warm, sincere smile that hit me way harder than I expected. "But that wasn’t the only thing that made me interested in him. I wasn’t going to give my body up to someone who is just a fragment of Lilith. That’s nothing compared to what I have been seeing in him."

And just like that, the whole air shifted. Even Luna looked taken aback, her expression softening in a way that matched the moment.

"I see..." Luna said slowly, as if she was digesting something big. Maybe it was the first time she’d seen Agneis smile like that. "That’s really amazing..."

And then, just as I thought the scene might settle into something peaceful, she suddenly turned back into her cat form. No dramatic effects. No light show. Just poof, back into a fluffy, four-legged creature with a tail flicking behind her. With that same oddly satisfied smile—yes, the cat was somehow smiling—she walked away like she had said and done everything she came here for.

Honestly? I had absolutely no idea what that whole interaction even meant. Everything felt like a riddle wrapped in nonsense and sprinkled with mild chaos.

"You sound like you are planning something really big for us, Leon," Luna said, pausing a few steps away and looking back at me, her green cat eyes narrowing. "Whatever it is, then I’d agree to it, since the person who I have known to be very stubborn agree to it. However, if I deem it something that is very dangerous, then I would not put myself to it."

Fair point. Probably the most grounded thing she’d said so far. I didn’t even know what to respond with except the truth—I wasn’t planning on disappointing her. So I just nodded.

She gave me another one of those tiny cat smiles, turned her head forward, and padded out of the castle like a breeze slipping through a window.

"She really is just a wind, coming and going just like that. Honestly..." Agneis muttered, shaking her head.

***

A few hours later, after everything settled down, it was decided that I was going to leave for my next location. The Dryad sisters would be coming with me—our next destination wasn’t exactly the safest place, and I needed people who could handle themselves.

"Come back, Leon. I’ll be waiting," Agneis said.

Of course I would come back. I wasn’t someone who just forgot the women in his life. And, honestly, it wasn’t just obligation—I had no intention of forgetting her or the time we spent together.

"Of course." I leaned in and kissed her. When I pulled away, I looked her straight in the eye. "I wouldn’t forget the fucking session we did. I mean, even for me, it was the first time I’d experienced something like that."

Her face lit with a faint blush, that warm softness appearing again just around the edges. "Well, I’ll be waiting for that time again."

Yeah. Same here. And considering I was still basically in the Great Forest, it wouldn’t even take that long before I circled back to her anyway.

And with that, I finally set off toward the Dwarf Kingdom—our route heading toward the Lamia Tribe.

***

The journey toward the Lamia Tribe wasn’t exactly a walk in the park, but it wasn’t insanely difficult either. Terrain was rough, sure—enough roots, rocks, and uneven ground to make a person trip three dozen times if they weren’t careful—but manageable. We could have taken the helicopter, but I chose not to. I figured traveling together with the Dryad sisters—Lixis, Morthea, and Lixis—would keep things simpler. Besides, flying overhead felt like announcing myself to the whole forest with fireworks.

Meanwhile, Filia, Anne, and Amon were sent back to the Milham Kingdom to inform the others about everything happening here. I trusted them to report things properly, and it kept them out of unnecessary danger.

Right now, I was having sex with the three.

And that was where we were.
