Leonhardt's eyes flicked to the display in the corner of his eyes, and the corner of his lips shaped into a crude smile. His growth since becoming a dungeon master seemed quite rapid. Yet, he knew he still needed to grow more to face the true monsters and heroes.

'I think I can endure one blow from Zafira right now.'

He then pulled out his guild card. Leon tapped the screen and updated his attributes and skills. Once it finished, he tapped the small button beneath his name, which showed his current guild missions.

'Why did the dungeon system's interface change?'

[Because you've reached Rank F as a Dungeon Master]

'Huh? When did that happen, I thought I needed to increase the size of my dungeon?'

[How did you assume we got that barrier?]

'—Is the dungeon in trouble, when will I have to return and meet with the other masters?'

That reminded him of Gobbolas and Gobomir, two goblins who served him and the dungeon well. After only a few days, it felt like an eternity to Leon.

[Don't worry, Zafira has dealt with it for now… Evolving this time gave you various benefits!]

Leon's eyes flicked through lines of text showing his changes, but the main ones made his heart pound, a sense of delight growing from his sudden gains.

● All Skills and Spell Levels increased by 1.

● Lifespan increased to 350 days.

● All Attributes have been boosted.

● Unlocked the Dark Dragon bloodline.

● Arachne, Fae and Djinn bloodlines have been enhanced.

Thanks to his evolution, the amount of pure mana that flowed through his veins increased explosively, over ten times the previous amount.

'How much mana does Zafira have?'

[Around Ten thousand, maybe less… because she's a combat type, not a magic type.]

'Eh?'

Asuka's curious eyes shimmered in the darkness.

The black barrier cracked, creating a mass of spiderwebs that spread across the glowing light. With a sharp crash, it faded, and the flow of time returned to normal.

"Shall we head inside?"

Leon didn't want to take too long, so he offered his hand to Asuka. She looked at him with narrowed eyes and muttered, "It's strange that only a few hours passed for them."

Asuka grabbed his hand and stepped into the carriage after he opened the door.

"Nn."

"Mmm."

The sound of Sylvie and Erina's soft breathing filled the interior. They were both sleeping peacefully on the seats. Thankfully, the carriage was large enough for them all to sleep without many issues.

Leon sat down on the opposite side, followed by Asuka, who took the seat beside him.

"I didn't know you accepted a mission to hunt some rogue adventurers, why didn't you say?" Asuka's soft lips barely moved as she spoke. Her voice sounded calm, but there was an underlying tone of curiosity.

"It's nothing important, just something I wanted to do to test myself," Leon said casually, leaning back against his seat.

His gaze flicked to the dragonoid beside him, before he shook his head with a sigh, slowly removing his robe and placing it on the padded seats. "We should probably sleep. The changes in our bodies are currently making us energetic, but the crash will be difficult to endure on this journey."

『How can he remove his shirt so easily?!』

'Oh… She seems to have trouble controlling her desires.'

[That's dragons for you. They are greedy, arrogant, and lustful!]

'You sound jealous!'

[Hmph!]

Leonhardt enjoyed teasing Ifrit quite a lot, but since she got what she wanted, the elemental stopped speaking, and her voice faded from his mind.

He left the dark carriage, which smelled of females and various perfumes mixed into a den of pheromones. The scents known as pheromones had little effect on humans, and most scholars believed they did not create them.

However, that was only for humans and other humans, monsters, and other species with enhanced senses. Humans' unique scents and pheromones could range from a delicious aroma to a disgusting stench.

In fact, certain monsters, like goblins, would avoid humans if their scent was unpleasant. But for others, such as orcs, the smell of a female human was like an aphrodisiac, and they would seek those with the most appealing scent, rather than beautiful looks, as a wife.

Sometimes, elves or humans misunderstood the orcs. Their attempts to court females were a little different from those of humans, and to this day, the lonely orcs struggle to learn the ways of dating!

'It seems that their scents aren't unpleasant, but only Asuka's scent makes me feel anything.'

"Do we have to sleep…" Asuka's tail tapped his thigh. Her hands gripped the soft cotton seat, and she turned away, her cheek scales glowing a scarlet red.

'Wow.'

Leon's mouth twitched, and he covered it with his hand.

A faint smile spread across his face as he leaned back and closed his eyes. "Yes, I'm going to sleep now—"

Thud!

Asuka's body lunged at him, different from earlier, the submissive dragoness, pushing him down, with her hands sliding across his well-defined chest.

"Ah, you can't tease me like this; just stop, Leo." Asuka's low, sultry voice echoed as she purred, flames puffing from her nose as she huffed softly.

Her fingers traced over his chest, exploring every inch of his body. She licked her lips, revealing sharp fangs, and then leaned in closer to his neck. "I won't bite—" Her tongue slipped along his skin, tasting the rich salty taste of his sweat, causing her to shiver in delight. "—too hard."

She bit down on his neck, drawing blood that stained her lips crimson. A soft grunt escaped Leon's throat as she sucked on his wound, lapping up the warm liquid that trickled down her chin.

Pah!

Before she could take control, Leon's eyes became sharp, grabbing her wrists as he pulled a sleeping bag from the floor, and the pair hurriedly climbed inside.

"Behave yourself!"

Leon's voice was stern, but Asuka's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Nnn… Don't be mean, Leo. Please~ don't punish me…"

She pretended to resist when Leon grabbed her waist. Her body trembled as he pressed himself against her chest, wrapping his arms around her tightly. His breath tickled her ear, sending shivers down her spine.

Then he whispered, "I'll keep going until you collapse!"

Suddenly, a wave of excitement rushed through her, and she curled her lips into a mischievous smirk.

"Do your best, Leo."

Sylvie's eyes snapped open, and she immediately noticed the situation. A cold chill ran down her spine, and she felt her heart race.

'What the hell is happening?!'

She could hear the low grunts of a male, deep and fearsome, along with the pleasant breathy moans of a familiar female, Asuka's voice, as the sleeping bag beside the pair shifted violently.

'No way, no way, no way, no way! Again?'

The carriage rocked from the force, as she noticed the flap of their sleeping bags opened slightly. Sylvie peeked closer, able to get a glimpse of caramel brown skin glistening in the moonlight, while the broad and muscular chest of Asuka pressed against her proud breasts, crushing them.

"…"

Sylvie's ears flushed bright red, and she spun away.

She tried to close her eyes and ignore the sounds, but it was impossible.

Her mind raced with thoughts of how she would react when they finished. Then Asuka vanished, and the forceful thrusts came into her. Before she realised it, her azure eyes became locked on the two as the zip opened further.

Her hand slid beneath the sleeping bag, rubbing herself through her underwear. She could feel her embarrassing wetness seeping through the fabric, and bit her lip to keep from crying out.

The night went on, and the rocking of the carriage continued until dawn. Sylvie enchanted by the way Asuka's body moved, her toned muscles flexing with each thrust and her passionate cries as the pair exchanged an affectionate and messy kiss.

When the morning sun rose above the hills, the people outside began to stir, and chatter filled the air. But the inside of the carriage remained silent. The deep sounds of Leon's breathing and Asuka's inelegant snoring were all that filled the interior.

Sylvie's face looked exhausted, her youthful elvish blood unable to remove the dark circles beneath her eyes.

"Ugh…" Erina groaned, stretching her arms out as she rubbed her eyes. "Did you stay awake all night?" She asked, noticing Sylvie's tired expression.

However, Sylvie didn't notice the slight blush on Erina's cheeks as she gazed at the open sleeping bag, which revealed Leon and Asuka's unclothed bodies.

The morning began for everyone in the carriage differently, but the two women now understood it clearly.

Their friend was no longer single—or a maiden.
