Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 502 Another World Quartet
Theoretically speaking, once a person achieves their long-cherished wish, they will fall into a brief state of exhaustion, without goals or direction, and feel a sense of emptiness.

But when Darkness woke up, she didn't feel that emptiness at all. Instead, she felt quite full, so full that it was uncomfortable, yet she was also very satisfied...

Memories flooded back, making her so ashamed that she dared not move and could only pretend to be dead. Just thinking about what she had done and what had been done to her yesterday made her feel like she would never be able to face anyone again.

All sorts of bizarre fantasies were fulfilled beyond expectations; this is the first time I've ever seen anything like it... I've never heard of magic that can split oneself into multiples and transform into all sorts of strange creatures!!!
"Get up quickly if you're awake. You've already missed breakfast, and if you're any later you'll miss lunch."

Luke looked down at the female knight whose eyelids were trembling. She had been so proactive before, but now she was acting quite shy. The contrast was really big.

It's understandable, since it's the first time. This kind of lewdness mixed with a touch of pure love isn't so bad.

Luke grabbed Darkness's waist and, as she opened her eyes in surprise, pulled her off him and pushed her aside rather ungently.

Darkness, wrapped in a sheet, nimbly jumped out of bed, her right hand covering her swollen belly. Her eyes widened into circles as she stammered:
"Good morning, Dad."

"Go wash up after you've rested; Aqua and the others are waiting." Luke yawned, lazily got up, and added as if he had just remembered something:
"Oh, right, don't use that nickname normally. If someone hears it, they'll think I'm a pervert. Um... the same goes for other nicknames."

"……understood."

Darkness showed a hint of regret and nodded obediently.

…………

When the two of them got dressed and went to eat, the other teammates looked at them with a strange expression.

Kazuma Sato's eyes were filled with resentment, with obvious envy, jealousy and hatred. He was obviously very upset that his teammate hit a home run while he didn't even reach second base. Huihui would sometimes look at Darkness, whose temperament had changed significantly, like a flower blooming after a spring rain, and sometimes at Luke, who looked refreshed and more relaxed than usual. She would blush and lower her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

While everyone else was acting out a skit, Aqua was eating as usual.

They work very hard.

It seems that yesterday's drunken outburst had some psychological impact on the Goddess of Water, so she didn't drink any alcohol, and to make up for it, she ate more than usual.

After the strange dinner, Huihui asked Luke to accompany her to complete her daily task of using Explosion Magic. As the top Explosion Magician of the Crimson Demon Clan, she would feel terrible if she didn't use Explosion Magic every day!
"Is it okay? Sure, it should be!"

Huihui looked at Lu Ke expectantly, her eyes shining brightly.

"Actually, I was planning to go fishing this afternoon... Oh well, I'll probably just come back empty-handed anyway."

Fishing and helping the little girl complete her daily Burst Magic lessons were equally important, so Lu Ke reluctantly agreed.

After receiving a definite answer, Huihui looked at Darkness next to her.

"Darkness, is it alright?"

"Don't ask me about this kind of thing..."

Darkness muttered to herself, looking at the Crimson Demon girl who resembled a porcelain doll:
"No problem, after all, Luke himself agreed. Enjoy your time together. If it's too late to come back, you can stay out overnight... I'm perfectly fine with that!"

The masochistic female knight said that the thought of Lu Ke getting close to or going further with other women, and becoming increasingly indifferent and impatient with her, gives her a feeling of both heartache and pleasure.

…………

Because the explosion magic was too loud, the guards would question them if the launch site was too close to Axel, so Luke led the Crimson Demon girl on a rather long journey.

Somewhere on the outskirts of the plains, Megumin discovered a perfect spot to use Explosion magic and excitedly pointed it out to Luke.

"Luck, look, look! That place looks amazing!"

Lu Ke casually looked in the direction of the sound, his gaze pausing for a moment.

It was an ancient-style castle, entirely black, with fine cracks all over its body, as if it had been abandoned for many years and was a remnant after being washed away by time.

In his perception, there were a large number of undead, demons and other dark creatures inside. The throne at the deepest part, which was probably the Boss's room, was occupied by a high-level undead.

The Demon King's Army officer—the headless knight Beldia.

Excluding a few individuals, they can be considered the strongest fighting force in this world. If they were to actually fight Axel, who is surrounded by a large number of novice adventurers, it would be a one-sided massacre.

Normally, enemies of this level wouldn't appear near the starting village, but it seems that a powerful and holy aura has recently descended nearby, alerting the Demon King, who then dispatched the Headless Knight to investigate.

Without a doubt, the source of the divine aura is Aqua, who only knows how to eat and sleep, habitually makes things worse, and was even lectured yesterday for her drunken outburst.

Huihui waved her hand, pointed her newly bought staff at the castle, and began to chant a hastily composed, cringeworthy incantation. A torrent of magic burst forth in the air, radiating brilliant light.

"Explosion!"

boom! ! !
The explosion magic detonated at the castle, and flames engulfed a corner of the castle, but the castle, which had been protected by a barrier, only trembled violently and was not seriously damaged.

"Spa... Lassie—"

The Crimson Demon girl swayed twice, then collapsed to the ground contentedly, her face filled with bliss, as if she had released all the pressure she had been under.

Then, with her last bit of strength, she reached out her hand to Luke.

Lu Ke slowly sat down next to Huihui, took the girl's hand, and transferred a tiny, insignificant amount of his massive magical power to her at a gentle pace, creating the illusion of rapid magical recovery.

About a minute or two later, Huihui, having regained her strength, got up from the ground while still holding hands with her husband.

"That's great, Luke! As long as you're here, I don't have to worry about the weakness period!"

Huihui seemed very happy, "And the increased number of times I can use Explosion Magic in a day will be a big help in battle!"

Lu Ke was slightly surprised by Hui Hui's enthusiasm, but he quickly figured out why.

Although I had long ago decided to only invest in "Explosive Magic" and "High-Speed ​​Casting" to support the release of "Explosive Magic," the fear of being looked down upon by other teams and worrying that I would be a burden still seems to have a lingering effect...

"Huihui".

Luke called out the name of the Crimson Demon girl.

"Well, what happened?"

Luke said unhurriedly, "Take a break, and then unleash another burst spell. Before dark, as long as your magic power is restored to a sufficient level, you can use as many burst spells as you like."

Huihui paused for a moment, first showing joy at reaching the climax, but quickly became hesitant, "Um, wouldn't this be too much trouble for you..."

Lu Ke touched his earlobe and said in a calm tone, "It's not a problem. There's nothing important anyway. Besides, I'm quite interested in your ever-evolving lyrics. Show me a few more times."

"..."

Huihui was quiet for a few seconds, then lowered her pointed soft hat to cover half of her face, grabbed the cloak behind her with her right hand and swung it back, while raising her head to reveal a bright and cheerful smile.

"Hmph, you really want to see this Explosion Mage look cool? Fine, then I'll show you!"

"Crimson black flames, king of all realms, when the fires of heaven and earth roar, I am the principle of the correspondence of all things, transformed into another name for collapse and destruction, the hammer of karmic fire descends into my palm!"

"Explosion!" …………

A month later.

Luke stood in front of a luxurious and grand mansion, took out his key to open the iron gate, and waved to Kazuma and the others behind him to carry their luggage inside.

"This...can we really move in? Isn't it too extravagant? Sleeping in a place like this will shorten our lifespan!"

Kazuma Sato swallowed hard. He never imagined that he, who was used to sleeping in stables and cheap hotels, would have the opportunity to stay in such a place. What kind of sinful capital could afford to live in such a place!
"There's a cemetery next to this mansion, and it's often haunted at night. The original owner was in a hurry to get rid of it, so he asked one of my seniors to issue a task to deal with it..."

Lu Ke looked at the house's simple yet elegant and dignified decorations, nodded with satisfaction, and continued:
"...However, I spoke with my senior beforehand and asked her to persuade the original owner to sell the house at a low price. Then I used my savings and the money the team had earned during this period to buy it directly."

"Buy it!?"

Kazuma Sato's eyes widened. "No way, Lu Ke, are you that rich? You actually have this much money just for helping someone find a job?"

Because they take a huge cut...

Lu Ke silently answered in his heart, but this answer was obviously not suitable to tell He Zhen and the others who had been persuaded by him to sign the contract of servitude.

In fact, after awakening his cheat ability, money no longer had any meaning for him, or rather, nothing had any meaning except for the world itself.

However, just like using the "Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow" cheat to speedrun through a game, it undoubtedly loses a lot of fun. Reducing repetitive operations and using cheats appropriately can make the game more enjoyable.

"By the way, the senior you just mentioned was 'she,' could it be a woman?" Sato Kazuma asked casually after packing his luggage.

Lu Ke nodded lightly: "Yes, she's a kind-hearted, naive, and sweet woman. She's a very nice woman. I was able to live a peaceful life in the past partly because of her influence."

The senior he mentioned was the owner of Axel's Magic Item Shop, a lich named Wiz who always lost money in his shop, was easily fooled, and had a unique eye for money.

Wiz is also one of the eight executives of the Demon King's army. He is extremely powerful and belongs to the type of hidden boss in the beginner village. However, like Luke, he is a casual player. He joined the Demon King's army only because the Demon King kept asking him to set up a barrier leading to the Demon King's castle.

Because he couldn't get along with the other officers and wanted a peaceful life, he came to Axel, the place furthest from the Demon King's army front, to live a quiet and unambitious life.

"Who asked that? I was asking about your senior's charm as a woman." Sato Kazuma rolled her eyes at Lu Ke.

Luke rested his chin on his hand, pondered for a moment, recalling the lich lady's figure, and looking at the three women busy cleaning the room, he gave his answer:

"It's probably worth 1.5 Darknesses, or 2 Aquas, or 10 Megumins!"

Sato Kazuma: "..."

Amazing!
The data is so clear that you can't help but be convinced!
Isn't Huihui's data a bit off?

As he was lost in thought, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, which made him wince.

"Kazuma, stop thinking about women all day long. Don't you have any other interests besides those lewd things?"

Lu Ke retracted his bent knuckles and gave the reincarnated man, whose mind was full of fantasies, a slight reprimand.

Kazuma Sato crouched down, tears welling in his eyes, clutching his head in disbelief.

You can say something like that because you have a modified Barrett that lets you party with Darkness anytime, anywhere!

He lamented inwardly.

The female knight has already been taken into Luke's possession in various ways, the Archmage of the Crimson Demon Clan goes out with Luke to perform magic every day, and Aqua is trusting Luke more and more. Even the receptionist at the tavern is always secretly spying on Luke.

He went to a succubus shop only to find that the staff were afraid to take his order because they almost died in the line of duty. He went to a tavern to flirt with a young girl, only to find out that it was a honey trap in another world. He wanted to have a sweet romance but found that his reputation among female adventurers was already very bad.

Without a doubt, he had a comedy script that even minors could watch, while Luke's script was an adult script that could be cut and modified at any moment!

As Kazuma Sato thought about it, a wave of sadness washed over him.

This squad has become Luke's harem. What will become of him in the future? Should he find a potion that can change his gender and join Aqua and the others?

Boom!
Kazuma Sato, who was crouching down to defend himself with his head in his hands, took another hit, and this time it really hurt so much that he burst into tears.

"Don't think about strange things."

Lu Ke, who habitually reads through Sato Kazuma's inner thoughts while watching anime, twitched his lips twice and almost couldn't resist pulling out his soul to cleanse it.

"If you really want a girlfriend and to get rid of your virginity, why not do something big to increase your visibility and improve your image among female adventurers?"

Kazuma Sato rolled his eyes: "I'd love to defeat some ancient dragon like Echoes of the Sword to increase my fame, but do I even have the chance? Axel is a beginner's village!"

Lu Ke chuckled. "Haven't you noticed that the number of magical beasts around us is decreasing, but their quality is increasing? The monsters in the quests are all very strong now."

"That seems to be the case. What does that mean?"

"Of course, an even more powerful being has appeared."

Lu Ke looked in a certain direction, which was the place where Huihui would go every day to suggest burst magic.

It seems that because of him, the frequency of explosive magic releases has increased significantly, and the headless knight, who has been driven to desperation by the noise, has to set out earlier.

"A Demon King's military officer will be coming here soon. If you can defeat him, you can become a respected hero."

"What do you mean, 'even if it were me?!'"

Sato Kazuma instinctively retorted, but after understanding the meaning of Luke's words, he couldn't help but point to himself.

"You want me to fight the Demon King's army officers? Me?"

With his terrible profession and few skills, what's the difference between fighting the Demon King's army officers and being a lamb to the slaughter?
"It's okay if you're not strong enough, you're not alone."

"I feel like you're insulting me... Okay, fine, I do have you guys behind me, but I still feel like I'm not up to the task..."

Kazuma Sato sounded a little frustrated.

Although he often complains about Aqua and the others being unreliable, upon closer inspection, Aqua's healing abilities are undeniable; she can even revive the dead. Darkness's defense is also quite astonishing, and Megumin's Explosion Magic is the strongest DPS output. On the contrary, he, the nominal captain... is a bit useless.

Lu Ke sighed softly and smiled as he extended his hand to Sato Kazuma.

"How about this, Kazuma, do you want to come with me to another world to improve our strength?"

"what?"

Kazuma Sato, who was going through a low period, looked up in surprise.

Different world?
Aren't they in another world right now?
