Chapter 227: Wait A Minute, I’m Not Horny
"We’ve arrived." Gin smiled while raising his hands, feeling good after reaching the land. It was a rough journey, considering he started feeling a bit sick after inhaling too much seawater.
"You’re so energetic." Albert rolled his eyes, remembering he wasn’t someone like this when the hero was with him. It seemed the hero had been suppressing him this whole time. That was why Gin never showed this energetic self to anyone else.
"So, this is the new land, huh." The Leviathan narrowed his eyes and looked around. Since his people had gone around the shore, he truly didn’t find anyone else around.
Still, there was a longing expression on his face. Unfortunately, the Leviathan could only bury it and say, "I have done my part. It’s your part to deal with this continent. Don’t disappoint me."
"Thank you for your help." Albert nodded to the Leviathan..
"It’s my pleasure. At least, I am the first Demon King to see the new land." The Leviathan smiled and stepped back. "I guess I should leave the rest to..."
His gaze fell upon Mu Yanxue who would become their tour guide as well as agent to stop the Joyful Union Sect.
Albert also looked at her as a signal to answer the Leviathan’s question.
She then took the map out of her Space Ring and opened it for them.
It was a map. The continent had a shape resembling an hour glass.
After she gained everyone’s attention, she pointed at the bottom left of the continent and said, "This is where we are right now. My sect, Joyful Union Sect, is in the north of this place and we control this shore too. That’s why we’re the only one who can come to your continent for now.
"On top of us is a place called Kunlun Mountain. They’re controlling the entire region, including the port to go toward another continent.
"As for those next to us, they are called Ancient Buddha Sect and Heavenly Sword Sect. There is a place called Divine Kingdom.
"In the past, the Divine Kingdom and Kunlun Mountain are the pioneers in the fight against the Demon Clan who rules over a third of the continent. Unlike the humans, the Demon Clan only has one ruling clan and the ruler will always change because they seek the strongest person to be their ruler.
"Sometimes, it will be a One-Eyed Demon. The next patriarch could be from the Dragon Clan. In any case, if you’re strong and have a good background, you should be respected there.
"After discovering two other continents near us, the Demon Clan and the humans have stopped fighting. Instead, we’re maintaining our peace so that we can aim for those two continents.
"Anyway, if you are a Demon, you might want to check the Demon Clan. From this place, you need to go to the northeast and go straight in between the Kunlun Mountain and Divine Kingdom to reach your destination without getting discovered.
"You might want to reach the Ancient Buddha Sect. They have a weird rule, but their strength is impeccable.
"As for the Kunlun Mountain, they’re for those who want to have an overall boost in their ability. For the Sniper, I suggest the Divine Kingdom. If you can become a General, your words can directly influence their king.
"Last but not least, the Five Elemental Mountain. They’re a hidden sect. Unlike the other influences, they’re not actively ruling a huge region.
"However, their strength can easily rival any of us. They’re mysterious and you should be more careful because I don’t know much of their information too.
"As for their location, they should be around in this area." She pointed at the northeast of their location. "In fact, all of you who wants to go to your respective destination, you should go to the middle area of the map first to avoid entering anyone’s attention.
"The only reason why the central region is safe is because of the Five Elemental Mountain. And they’re holding an annual disciple selection in a town near them. So, just choose a town around this area and you will be good to go."
Albert nodded and said, "We all have received our respective maps. We should be able to reach our destination in one way or another. Thank you for your explanation."
"It’s my pleasure, Master." Mu Yanxue politely bowed her head.
"Since you’re done with the briefing, you all should go immediately so I can go home now to attend my kingdom." The Leviathan opened his mouth, urging them to go.
"..." They were speechless because they never expected the Leviathan would say something like that.
However, a woman approached Albert while bringing her own staff. She had long blond hair and blue eyes. Despite her graceful appearance, she seemed to have the same vibe as Gin.
Without hesitation, she waved her hand and introduced herself.
"Hello. I’m Natasha, known as Magic Empress. I’ll be with you this time." She smiled.
"Oh, you must be a fan of anime too since you call yourself a Magical Girl! What’s your favorite? What’s the name again, the one with sailor uniform? Or is it something different?" Gin smirked.
"You’re cheerful now, Gin." Natasha chuckled. "Anyway, I won’t tell you yet, but we might be able to become a good buddy to talk about this later."
"Sure thing! You have good potential, so there should be someone who wants to take you as their disciple."
"But isn’t it weird to see a blonde like me here?" She asked. "I haven’t explored the genre from other countries..."
"It’s perfectly fine. Trust me." Gin nodded.
"Is that so? Fine, I guess. Anyway, I think I will be the only one accompanying you guys." Natasha smiled and waved her hand.
"That’s fine." Gin agreed with the arrangement, since it would be easier for them to move if they only had a few elites. There was no need to take care of other people since Albert’s power could easily make them strong. He had prepared a few things for his Bonk Ability, so he was kind of excited in this trip.
Since they were about to leave, Mu Yanxue came to Albert and handed him her Space Ring. "This is not much, but I hope Master can take care of this ring. Master already knows how to use it, right?"
"Yes." Albert nodded and looked at the ring. "Still, should I put it on?"
"You can put it on or keep it in your clothes. Though, I suggest the former. You can also store a few other Space Rings inside this Space Ring, making an infinite storage.
"Since you’re going there, I can only give you most of my Spiritual Stones for the money. I don’t have anything that can help you. I apologize." Mu Yanxue bowed again.
"It’s fine. Thank you for doing all this." Albert put on the ring carefully. Mu Yanxue seemed to have picked the largest ring she had but still barely fit his smallest finger.
"No. It’s Yanxue’s pleasure to be of any help." Mu Yanxue stepped back gracefully.
"In that case, it’s time for us to leave." Albert nodded and glanced at Gin and Natasha, signaling them to go before anyone else.
As soon as they came to an agreement, the three of them immediately ran toward their destination according to the route Mu Yanxue briefed them.
Since they brought Natasha with them, they needed to lower their speed since she couldn’t handle their speed despite having utilized her wind ability.
"Once again, I’m Natasha. Nice to meet you, Albert, Gin. By the way, I’m curious as to where do you come from, Albert." Natasha introduced herself again while running.
"Me?!" Albert widened his eyes.
"Yeah."
*Wiggle!*
*Wiggle!*
Before Albert had the time to answer, the slime king came out and looked at Natasha as if staring at a weird person.
However, Natasha’s attention was completely diverted the moment the slime king appeared.
Her eyes opened wide as she dropped her jaw to the ground.
"Slime!"
"Ah. That’s the slime king I picked in the Lust Kingdom. His name is Bonkichi!"
But Natasha’s reaction could be called everything but ordinary. She immediately showed an excitement on her face as she said, "The slime from the Lust Kingdom? As expected, he can’t resist my charm, isn’t it?!
"Still... a Magical Girl can’t go without a slime. The slime will envelop my body and the tentacles will start roaming around my body. There are numerous tentacles to aim for all my weak spots and..." Natasha suddenly stopped when she realized the disgusted gaze from Albert and Gin.
Even Gin rubbed his eyes a bit as if he couldn’t believe what he just heard.
"Ah, I think what kind of thing you are watching..." Gin pinched the bridge of his nose. "I think you’re reading a doujinsh* and your favorite anime is h*ntai... Don’t tell me, the Magical Girl anime you’re talking about is..."
Even Gin had no heart to continue as he said, "I think you shouldn’t let your thought run wild, especially around Bonkichi."
"Huh?! Did I say all that aloud?" Natasha widened her eyes in shock before numerous shadows covered her eyes as she saw Bonkichi releasing its tentacles. Instead of getting excited, she was scared because at the tip of the tentacles were wooden bats.
"Wait a minute... I am not horny."
