# 119. The Saint, Love, and Skill

*This chapter contains some adult content.

If I had to keep score, we were tied at 1-1.

I tried to maintain a nonchalant expression. Without completely withdrawing—though it had softened somewhat but still hadn’t lost its vigor—I began to move slowly back and forth, as if this had been my intention all along.

“Ah, haa, haaa…”

Was it actually better now that it was slippery inside after I’d finished?

Apart from the initial penetration, Noona didn’t seem to be in much pain. Unlike moments before when she had been stiff and rigid, she was now making subtle movements with her legs and hips to match my rhythm.

Judging by her expression, she wasn’t doing it consciously. But that drove me absolutely crazy.

So I increased my pace.

“Ahng, haang, haang, haaaa—!”

The sticky sounds from our connection—squelch, squelch—had somehow transformed into wet slapping noises. Each time I moved my hips back and forth, Noona shook her head from side to side, continuously moaning. Her mystical silver hair, which had resembled the Milky Way, was now damp with sweat and disheveled.

Yet even so, her beauty as she let out those heated moans wasn’t diminished—if anything, she looked even more beautiful.

“Does it hurt?”

“Nnno.”

“That’s good.”

Perhaps it was because of the extremely slow initial penetration? The accumulated excitement was now explosively releasing.

Still, since it was my first time with Noona, I was keeping my foot on the brake. I didn’t want to be too rough for her first experience, as it might leave her with unpleasant memories for life.

“Hold me…”

I lowered my upper body completely, covering her as I continued moving my hips. The sensation of her breasts pressing against me was ecstatic. Even as I thrust into her, Noona kept stroking my head and back. Her moans in my ear were filled more with pleasure than pain.

After moving for just a few minutes, I already felt my second climax approaching. Since I’d already finished right after entering her, I wanted to just let go and pour everything into her without holding back.

So I embraced her tightly, almost to the point of suffocation. Then I began moving my hips with an almost lifting motion. Noona’s moans now bordered on screams.

Slap-slap-slap-slap—

“Ah, ah, ah, ah, ahhng…!”

In this moment, only Soyu Noona and I existed in this world. And my sole purpose was to leave my mark, like a tattoo, on this intensely seductive body.

That was all.

“Huk, huk, huk.”

“Ah, ah, ahhh…”

The moment of climax. The moment of release.

We ascended together, and descended together.

I collapsed onto Noona’s body. And beneath me, she trembled with a dazed expression.

“So this… is sex.”

“This is sex.”

Noona’s slightly hoarse voice awakened me. And with it, my member that had been resting inside her.

Could she feel it twitching inside? Noona’s eyebrows quivered.

“…Sunghyun.”

“Yeah?”

“Can men usually do it… continuously like this?”

“They can. Because it’s you, Soyu.”

“…”

At my blunt words, Noona averted her gaze, but her lower lips silently squeezed mine tightly.

I chuckled at that adorable contradiction, and Noona puffed her cheeks slightly as she said:

“Hold me.”

“As you command.”

“Ahh…!”

**

‘Is this Noona really a saint of sex?’

How many times had it been? We even changed positions midway. Soyu Noona, who had been writhing in embarrassment despite just getting used to it, changed positions and within just 3 minutes, while pretending to be shy, she sucked in my semen like a vacuum. She was like a black hole.

Just when I thought we might take a break, she would say, “Hold me,” and I couldn’t help but embrace her again…

Still, it was Noona’s first time, and I was the experienced one. I hadn’t surrendered, but I was practically drained. In the end, Noona was the first to pass out.

‘I… preserved my pride…!’

Master Damus, the great diviner of Ayord. How far ahead did you see?

I wish to meet you again. Please grant me your insight.

I lay beside the motionless Noona, idly playing with her breasts. No matter how much I touched them, I couldn’t get enough of the sensation.

“…Beast.”

“You enjoyed it too.”

“Hmph.”

Soyu Noona laboriously turned to face me. I slipped my arm under her neck to serve as a pillow. She then entangled one of her legs with mine and clung to my chest.

“That’s right.”

“…You keep treating me like a child.”

I loved this position. As I moved my hand to stroke Noona’s head, she pouted.

“What was it that our Soyu said in the middle?”

“…I don’t know.”

“Sung-hyuna, S-Sunghyun oppa, p-please—”

“Hey!”

Soyu Noona slapped my chest with her palm. There was no damage, but I pretended it hurt. Noona sighed.

“Really… At times like this, you’re just like your usual self, but earlier you were like a completely different person.”

“Isn’t that my charm? The reversal?”

“The moment you say that yourself, your points get significantly deducted.”

“So, did you dislike it?”

“It’s just a figure of speech, dummy.”

I giggled, and Noona also chuckled. My eyes were starting to feel heavy. A wave of reality was crashing in.

Ah. We should clean up before sleeping.

Despite moving so vigorously just moments ago, now I couldn’t be bothered to lift a finger. I was considering just closing my eyes when Noona spoke to me.

“Sunghyun. By the way.”

“Yeah?”

“Can I try an experiment?”

“…Experiment?”

The word “experiment” felt out of place in this atmosphere, but I nodded without giving it much thought.

I should have been more cautious with my answer.

“Salva nos.”

“Noona?!”

No matter how unexpected it was for Noona to suddenly cast Radiance of Salvation on me.

“Animae necessitudo.”

When I felt the energy that had rapidly built up thanks to Noona’s Radiance of Salvation being drained back to her, I instinctively tried to back away, but before I could, Noona grabbed me.

Down there.

“Sunghyun.”

“Uh, huh? Noona? Why are you—”

“Actually, I just awakened Soul Bond earlier. So I tried it on you just now…”

Shall we practice a bit?

‘…This Noona really is a saint of sex, I’m telling you.’

And so we entered round two, disguised as skill practice.

And I was utterly defeated by the wicked Soyu Noona who restored my stamina only to share it with herself. No matter how much physical energy was restored, there was a limit to one’s virility!

Of course, I had not a single regret.

**

“I’ll explain to the other guild members in advance. Sorry for wearing you out. So rest well until lunch today. I’ve left some snacks on the table in case you’re hungry. Make sure to eat them even if they’ve cooled down.”

How many hours had I slept? Half-awake, I opened my eyes to find the space beside me empty. Thinking I might not be fully awake, I rolled around a bit until I noticed a note.

Reading it, I gathered that she had woken up earlier, seemed to have learned a new skill after realizing and fulfilling her love, got excited about it, and was sorry for draining me too much, so I should rest well.

‘She learned a new skill because she realized her love and it was fulfilled?’

I was about to reflexively argue that it didn’t make sense, but then I realized it could. First of all, Soyu Noona wouldn’t lie about something like that, and I couldn’t ignore the settings of healing-class cleric skills like Arc Bishop.

It might have been that her previous efforts just happened to bear fruit last night, but there was no reason to ruin the mood by saying so.

So I decided to review my skill list again, to reconsider how to apply the skills’ backgrounds in reality.

But then.

[Skills Owned: 8]

[Common Skills: 5]

– Rest (4)

– Basic Physical Combat (5)

– Basic Swordsmanship (6)

– Persuasion (4)

– Cooking (5)

[Class Skills: 3]

– Charisma (5)

– Command Shout (5)

– Order: Charge

– Order: Pass

– Order: Hold Position

– Command Enhancement (2)

“…What’s this?”

Command Enhancement, which hadn’t shown a trace of itself until last night, was now firmly planted in my skill list.

And at level 2, no less.

“…”

Is this the power of love? No, it couldn’t be. But… what caused it?

I seriously considered praying to the goddess Laela, just like Soyu Noona would.

**

“Boss. Is this the right thing to do?”

“Then what do you think I should have done there?”

“I’m not criticizing at all! It’s just, well.”

“I understand how you feel. I do, but first, let’s think about our safety, and then focus on gathering what we need to get out of here. Everything else can wait.”

The trio who had escaped from the basement immediately dispersed upon returning to their rooms.

“They let us go easily for now… but I’m worried.”

“You never know. It might be impossible now, but later we might be able to move between floors. If that’s not possible, then many quests will become null and void later.”

“You mean quests that span multiple regions?”

“Yeah. Then maybe the wandering saint will naturally get involved and connect to this incident. But that’s too far ahead for us to worry about.”

The Golden Wings guild leader pulled out some of the few remaining bottles of alcohol and said:

“Remember, that Alb said he’d pay more for detailed information about Veritas.”

“Yes.”

“It’s not like we know 100% about those people anyway. We weren’t close friends from the beginning like you two. Right?”

“What? Oh. Boss. You don’t mean…”

“I, no, we. We’re going to tell exactly what we know, right? That’s the plan? Hm? We’ll tell as much truth as possible and leave Albrant without regrets? Okay?”

The three silently drank their alcohol.

My heart was pounding.
