"A dark nymph?" Ethan asked in disbelief. "Are you sure?"

"I am confident! I can see its sultry dark energy with my divine vision," Athena pitched in. "There is no mistake here."

"There are different kinds of dark nymphs born from Lucifer's spores," Beatrix said. "This creature before us is a shapeshifter. It deceives and eats its prey to steal its identity. It was probably going to do the same to you. Believe me!"

Ethan gulped anxiously and turned his eyes towards Artis Lupine. She was crouched like an animal and growled like a feral wolf at the warrior and the witch. However, her countenance was still of an innocent and harmless girl.

Artis slept with him, and they had such genuine affection. It was the first time Ethan had feelings for someone since arriving in Promiscua.

Moreover, Artis sacrificed herself to save him from the Orcs. How could she be a dark nymph shapeshifter? A creature that wanted to eat him and assume his identity?

Ethan also recalled the horrifying experience with a dark nymph near the Elf barracks. The memory of it sent shivers up his spine.

"Is this true?" he asked the wolf-girl. "Did you trick me? What was your intention?"

Artis turned towards Ethan and shot him a look laced with heartbreak. It said, 'Do you doubt me too?'

"I…"

Woom! A fireball hit Artis in the chest, throwing her to the ground. She was momentarily distracted by Ethan, which gave Beatrix a chance to land an attack. However, the wolf-girl bounced back. Her chest was charred, but she was still alive and more feral than ever.

It was Athena's turn now. She charged at Artis with her sword above her head. The wolf-girl stepped back and cast one last teary-eyed glance at Ethan. The latter was battling conflicting emotions, but his expression was frightful.

Artis let out a heart-broken howl and scampered off into the bushes.

"Damn! I almost got it!" Athena said, lowering her sword. "Shall I follow the creature?"

Beatrix shook her head, letting the fireballs fizzle out. "No, she's much faster than us and more dangerous inside the forest. We came to rescue Count Cromwell and have achieved that mission."

"But it's a dark nymph fixated on the Count!"

"If the creature comes for him again, we'll be ready this time."

"Alright. Whatever you say, Bea." Athena shrugged, and her heavy armor disappeared into thin air.

On his end, Ethan felt devastated. For one night, he believed he had a connection with someone in the world. But she turned out to be an evil creature born from Lucifer. Artis Lupine was a dark nymph who wanted to eat him.

"Count Cromwell, are you okay?" Beatrix asked, slowly approaching him. "I don't see any injuries."

"I'm fine," the boy replied. "Thanks for saving me."

"We failed at saving you," Athena countered. "The Orc attack decimated our group. We had to run. It is a miracle that you survived the fall from the precipice."

Ethan wanted to say he didn't actually survive it and died, but resisted the urge. "I got stuck in a tree branch and climbed down. But how did you find me?"

Beatrix and Athena exchanged furtive glances. "I did a locator spell to find you," the witch replied. "Can I ask you something?"

"Go ahead."

"When I performed the locator spell, I saw someone else in your place. That was weird. Could you explain it?"

Ethan immediately realized Beatrix must have located Cassie, his other self. "I don't know what you're talking about. What is a locator spell anyway? What did you see?"

The witch plucked a fruit from a low-hanging branch and munched on it. "I think I saw a young girl. Never mind. Probably my spell was faulty. The good news for us is you are safe. We can't say the same about our friends from Cromwell Castle."

Ethan bit his lip with guilt. "I saw them in an abandoned Orc lair. They are all dead. Raped and eaten."

Beatrix raised her brows in surprise. "What were you doing in an Orc lair? Orcs never abandon their sites because they have poor memories. I am shocked that you didn't get eaten too!"

Athena stepped forward and put a reassuring hand on Ethan's shoulder. "It is unfortunate you had to see such horrifying deaths at your age, especially since this is the first time you've come out of the castle. I hope it doesn't traumatize you."

Athena was quite tall, and Ethan's eyeline barely reached her chest. Right now, the female warrior wasn't in armor. She wore a leather top tightened with laces and rugged, baggy pants.

Athena's breasts were quite massive in proportion to her height and muscle. At such proximity, the boy got a profound glimpse into her bottomless cleavage.

"I think I am starting to feel better. Thanks."

Athena suddenly realized what Ethan was peeking into. She quickly retreated and cleared her throat. "Glad we could help."

"What do we do next?" the boy asked, finally taking his eyes off the female warrior's bust.

"We return to Cromwell Castle, of course," Beatrix replied, throwing her half-eaten fruit into the pool.

Ethan shook his head. "No, we're going to Gulchtown. Isn't it nearby?"

The two girls exchanged nervous glances. "Count Cromwell, you are lucky to have survived an Orc attack and a fall from a precipice!" the witch objected. "Don't you realize we can't protect you in the wild without an army!"

"It is our duty to get you back to the castle's safety," Athena urged. "Please come with us."

Ethan crossed his arms stubbornly. "Rescuing my mother is of the highest priority. If you two will not help me get to Gulchtown, you are dismissed from service."

Beatrix and Athena looked at each other with troubled expressions. They put their heads together and exchanged whispers.

"Fine!" the witch finally spoke up. "We'll take you to the destination. But you will have to follow our instructions to the letter. Can you promise that?"

The boy nodded. "I will be obedient."

***

The trio decided to walk upstream, where Gulchtown was located. They could reach the place before sunset if everything went according to plan.

The group walked for hours, chatting casually while remaining alert of Orcs and other creatures. It was afternoon by the time they decided to rest.

"You can wash up here," Beatrix pointed to a shallow part of the stream. "We'll go beyond the thickets there. Later, we can have some stored rabbit meat for lunch."

Ethan nodded. "Alright."

The witch walked a few steps with Athena and then turned around. The boy was watching them walk away. "There will be no peeking while we undress, Count Cromwell. None at all!"

Beatrix had had a weird experience with Ethan while she rode with him. He smelled her hair and made her feel very uncomfortable.

Moreover, the Chaste Devil's curse could be triggered if the boy saw females naked. Velma Cromwell had categorically asked them to keep her son away from sexual distractions.

"I wouldn't dream of it," Ethan replied with a shrug. "It's quite offensive that you would accuse me of such perversion."

"Right… I'm sorry…" Beatrix said with a nervous laugh and turned to leave.

The Cromwell heir quickly washed up as if his life depended on it. Cleanliness wasn't a priority right now. Once the girls had disappeared behind the thickets, he did precisely the opposite of what they requested.

Ethan traced their path and peeked from around a boulder. Two sets of clothes lay at the stream bank. Beatrix and Athena were ankles deep in the water, naked. Nice!

However, something was wrong with the boy's vision. There was a film of haze surrounding the girls. He rubbed his eyes again and again but to no avail.

Then it struck Ethan! "It must be magic! Beatrix the sniveling bitch! She cast a spell on both of them so that outsiders can't see them naked! Goddammit!"

Ethan sighed heavily. There was no point in being a voyeur anymore. Even if he stood right before the girls, he couldn't see them naked. What a letdown! Promiscua was a terrible world for perverts!

The Cromwell heir returned to his spot dejectedly. He decided to spend some time exploring his system interface.

[User1: Ethan]

INVENTORY, SKILLS, LEVELING, GALLERY, and DOMINUS were intact. Strangely, the GRIMOIRE section was missing.

'System, Where is my grimoire section?'

[System advice: Grimoire section is only available to User2: Cassie]

'Oh, I see. So I can access those overpowered spells only as User2? Is it possible Cassie was born from Grimorium Lustra binding with my soul?'

Ethan checked out the INVENTORY section, and everything was normal.

[Aphrodisiac pills x51]

[Dragonfang x1]

[GIRLS! GIRLS! GIRLS!' A guide to self-discovery for humans, elves, and adventurous orcs x1]

[Antidote—Xtra power x3]

Next, the boy went to the SKILLS section. Everything was as before except—

[Ghost hands Lvl 2] [Active skill] [MP Cost: 8] [Effect: 30 seconds]

[Kiss of love Lvl 1] [Active skill] [MP Cost: 5] [Effect: Instantaneous]

————————————

[Stealth Lvl 2] [Passive skill]

[Poison Resistance Lvl 2] [Passive skill]

[Jelly Skin Lvl 2] [Passive skill]

————————————

[Dark] [Vanchsneff Nachtaal—Reveal the secret] [MP Cost: 5]

[Holy] [Periroas Kiklae Mutatium—Hero Cycle Revision (Cooldown: 1 year)] [MP Cost: 200]

[Holy] [Reditus Anima—Return Soul (Not applicable presently)] [MP Cost: 200]

[Decree] [Lapor—Boil and fry] [MP Cost: 20] [Requirements: Target within ten feet and user's eyesight]

[Decree] [Liquisha—Melt] [MP Cost: 20] [Requirements: A solid material within user's eyesight]

[Decree] [Secas—Cut] [MP Cost: 10] [Requirements: Target within fifty feet and user's eyesight]

[Nature] [Anima sans—Self-healing] [MP Cost: 10] [Requirements: None]

[Elemental] [Magmatis stagnum—magma puddle] [MP Cost: 50] [Requirements: None]

The spells he had used as Cassie from the Grimoire section had turned into skills! The only difference was that the MP cost had skyrocketed.

'So… Once I use a spell as Cassie, it transfers over to Ethan. Interesting. I should become Cassie again sometime later to copy-paste more skills. Alright. Let's check out the DOMINUS section.'

[DOMINUS] [Level 1]

[Generating the list of spiral-marked targets]

[…..]

[Elaine Brackish]

[Hilda Trombone]

[Ivy Cromwell] [Status: Slave]

[Artis Lupine]

Ethan was taken aback. 'Artis can be my slave! Oh, yes! I cummed inside her! That must have put the spiral mark on her!'

'Right now, I have low MP. After lunch, I'll try to put her under the DOMINUS system.'

Next, Ethan went over to the LEVELING section.

[Level 2]

[PHYSICAL: Strength—5/10, Beauty—7/10, Agility—1/10, Libido—2/10, xlockedx, xlocked]

[MAGICAL: Soul—3/10, Grimoire—1/10, xlockedx]

[CHARACTER: Intelligence—4/10, Perversion—3/10, Faith—4/10, xlockedx, xlockedx]

[DESTINY: Luck—1/10, xlockedx, xlockedx]

[Allotted points: 30/900]

[Unallotted points: 4]

'Hmm. Where should I spend the points? Maybe I should spread them evenly this time?'

Ethan added 1 to AGILITY, 2 to LIBIDO, and finally 1 to PERVERSION.

A system message flashed before his eyes suddenly.

[Requirements have been met!] [The lewd trinity—Intelligence, Libido, and Perversion have reached 4]

[Reward: Passive Skill: Lewd radar (New!)]

[Description: Lewd radar can help user search for gorgeous beauties to sleep with. It can be turned on or off at will. MP Cost:0]

Ethan's eyes widened in glee. 'A radar to find hot girls?? Awesome!'

The boy immediately turned it on. In the beginning, he didn't notice any change.

Suddenly, Ethan spotted two dots in the periphery of his vision. As he turned in that direction, they appeared before him like on a protractor scale. The dots pointed towards the thicket beyond which Beatrix and Athena were bathing!

Ethan sighed. He already knew that! Where were the other beauties of Promiscua?

The boy spotted another dot on his left periphery. He spun in that direction, bringing it to his fore.

Without a second thought, Ethan began jogging in that direction. "Lewd radar! Find me some pussy!"
