Chapter 155: Solution to Cleo's trouble
"Yes!" Marvin shouted, taking his hand away from Tom's spear. "Finally," he added, jumping a few steps to the back before extending his hand in the direction of the corridor's entrance.
"Icicle burst!" he then shouted.
A huge ice crystal appeared above his head... Or not. Rather than a massive attack that he clearly hoped for, the space around him swirled up. Once it stabilized again, it appeared as if every inch of space around him was filled with tiny mirrors, all distorting the image of his body.
And then, like a storm of sharp edges, the tiny icicles rushed in the very direction he was pointing at.
There were no monsters anywhere near for Marvin to test out his spell, making it for a pretty poor showcase of what his new, already fourth skill could do.
"I'm not sure if this is an attack spell," Tom said, biting on his lips as he did so. "It looks more like some kind of debuff," he added, averting his eyes away from Marvin's look of disappointment.
"Can we go test it out?" he asked, clearly excited about the prospect, refusing to acknowledge his support role even after several hours in the dungeon.
"We still need to feed Cleo her stones," Tom rebuked, shaking his head. But as he turned his eyes towards the girl, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
'At this rate, this is going to get really dangerous,' he thought, placing the tip of his spear over the next stone, absorbing it, and then moving the spear towards the girl.
"Here you go," Tom said, forcing a smile on his lips.
"Here we go again," Marvin rolled his eyes before turning his back to the scene.
'You are her fucking brother,' Tom thought, losing all the pity that he had for his friend. 'How can you leave me alone in such a situation?!' he whined in his thoughts as Cleo approached the spear.
"Tom, if this is too hard for you, I can just consume the stones directly," Cleo said with an uneasy look at her face.
"You know I'm not that wasteful," Tom replied only to shake his head in refusal. "This is nothing; go on," he added, shaking the tip of his spear before the girl's face.
"Well, then, if you will excuse me," Cleo said, bitting on her lips as she reached for the tip of the spear.
"Aaah!" the moment the energy started to flow from Tom's system to Cleo, her face twisted in pleasure as her lips released a damn erotic moan.
"MORE!" she moaned again, despite her obvious attempts to hold her voice in.
'You do realize that trying to hold yourself back only makes it worse for us?' Tom thought, sending a quick stare to Kira and the boy in her custody.
Learning from their experiences, they left the two in the corridor, hoping that at least the small barrier that separated the two would stop the guy from hearing what was going on. Yet, even with this precaution, Kira continued to shield both the boy's ears and eyes, hoping to stop him from peeking at the events.
'According to my calculations,' Tom thought, absorbing another stone into his spear, 'we are still at least five stones away,' he thought, biting on his lips and leaning his spear towards the girl.
"Give me a moment," Cleo asked, raising her hand while she leaned forward and breathed heavily. It seemed that the show she gave every time the energy would nourish her body was pretty exhausting for her.
Or maybe she just couldn't handle several stones at once without going crazy?
"Tell me when you are good to go," Tom said, lowering his spear.
Holding the magic infused in his spear without absorbing it himself was pretty hard, but he didn't wish to see Cleo just shove her hand into her crotch in a situation where she couldn't handle the feeling anymore.
'If she were to start masturbating, I don't think I could handle it anymore,' Tom thought, opting to just hold on to the magic with all his might.
"Okay, I'm ready," Cleo said after a few more moments of panting heavily.
With only the three more stones left from the current, thirty-seventh floor, she would be unable to reach the next level threshold. Yet, portioning this situation was the only way that allowed the three of the dungeon conquerors to hold on to their sanity.
"If you are acting like that just from consuming a few stones, I do not want to see what would happen if you were to consume more stones at once," Tom said several floors before when Marvin suggested to just stock on the stones and let his sister consume them in one go.
'That was a good decision,' Tom thought, recalling the moment as he tried to distract himself from the show right before his eyes.
Cleo's back bent as she threw her head to the back. The fire lit up in her eyes as her breathing got even heavier than before.
This time, she could no longer stop her hand from running wild on her body. Thankfully, before she could move it from her breast to her crotch, the magic in Tom's spear ran dry once again, freeing the three friends from the unusual torture.
"I-I think I will need a little bit of time..." Cleo muttered, falling down to her knees. Her face was beet red, and her breathing ragged.
"Take your time," Tom said, weaving a heavy sigh of relief. 'If this were to go for any longer, I don't think I could hold myself back,' he thought, turning around and stepping away to give the girl some space.
"Why don't you two just get the heat off?" Marvin suddenly spoke, throwing an annoyed look at the two.
"The hell?" Tom replied, turning his head around and throwing an angry stare at his friend.
"What, don't tell me you don't find her sexy!" Marvin protested before pointing his hand at his sister. "It's not like she would mind it either!" he shouted.
"Shut your crap!" Cleo shouted, her face turning even redder than before.
"At this rate, we will never reach the last floor, not to speak about getting to the other side!" Marvin shouted, clearly having too much of this show for his own good.
"Well, that's kinda true," Tom said, biting his lips as he did so. While he knew what admitting that could lead to, there was no denying that at the current rate, their group was spending more time dealing with Cleo than actually fighting monsters.
"No matter what, we need to be the first ones to get to the other side," Tom muttered, clenching his hands into fists. "Or at the very least, to reach the last floor," he added, still refusing to look at his dear friend.
"If that's how it's going to be, then let's just do it," Cleo said, standing up from her knees and approaching Tom's back. "You don't need to think much of it, just a small help for your friend," she muttered in a shaky voice while locking her arms around Tom's chest.
"Do you really think I think so little of you?" Tom asked, forcing Cleo's hands apart and turning around once he freed himself from her grasp. Looking at her face, he could see how red her cheeks were.
"Is friend a little?" Cleo asked, quickly averting her eyes from Tom's sight. For some reason, her body started to slightly shake, as if she was under some kind of enormous stress.
"You do realize that I consider you a part of my family," Tom said, shaking his head. "How could I call you just a friend?" he asked, raising his hand and rubbing Cleo's head.
"Well, in this situation, I think it's best if we stockpile some stones first," Marvin said, approaching the two before the situation could turn any more steamy for them. "I mean, if you are going to do it, then at least make the most out of it!" he said, shaking his head with a weird grin on his face.
"I-I... I think this is a good idea," Cleo said, lowering her head as her cheeks continued to turn even redder and redder.
'I guess that's how it will go,' Tom thought before releasing a heavy sigh.
"In that case, how about we just power through the next few floors?" he asked.
"What, are you that hasty to get down with me?" Cleo asked, raising her eyes and pushing her lips to form a small, cheeky smile.
Tom rolled his eyes.
"If we are going to spend some time fucking around, then we better save some of it now," Tom said before looking over to Marvin. "As for you, if you are feeling especially horny, feel free to get down on Kira," he said, shaking his shoulders. "Given what she did and what she wants from us, that's the very least she should be willing to do."
