The Golden Lord has a perverted SSS-rank summoning system!-Chapter 73: Beast hunt (03)
The moment the wolf’s heavy body finally collapsed, Ethan crumpled to the ground alongside it, his aura barely scraping thirty points and every muscle in his body burning with exhaustion.
Fortunately, Evelyn was right there to break his fall, his face landing softly against her large, warm breasts as she caught him.
Alice, who had been just a step behind, reacted instantly. Her heart leapt into her throat as she rushed to his side, eyes wide with concern. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
There were guards who needed her healing more, and her mana reserves had dropped drastically after maintaining such precise control over the sea of flames for so long.
But she didn’t care about any of that.
Those guards had potions. Ethan was her husband, and even if he ordered otherwise, she would focus only on him.
She grasped his lacerated, blood-soaked hands and channeled her healing magic without hesitation. A warm, greenish light bloomed across his burned flesh, slowly closing every wound without leaving a single scar behind.
While the two women tended to Ethan, the hunters moved toward the beast’s carcass.
Even old John, who had accompanied them despite being nothing more than a brewer, jogged over with an empty glass bottle clutched in his hands.
The reason was simple: to collect blood.
Beast blood was a rare and highly prized ingredient, both for alchemy and for the production of alcoholic beverages, and John had no intention of wasting a single drop of that mana-rich substance.
His plan was to use it as an additional ingredient in the wine he was preparing.
Combined with Spirit Lunar Green Grass, it would further increase the density of mana and aura in the drink, transforming it into an alcohol of incomparable value.
Ethan made no move to stop him.
Wine made with beast blood was the kind most beloved by the nobility, especially when it came from a creature above the third stage.
Even the blood of a second-stage beast like this one would fetch an absurdly high price.
"Ethan... are you okay?" Alice asked softly, still pouring mana into her healing magic.
Even a Rank S-tier mage had her limits, and Ethan could see the strain in her eyes. He gently wrapped his fingers around her delicate hands and stopped her.
"Rest a little, darling. I’m fine." He gave her a tender smile and pressed a soft kiss to her lips, right there in front of everyone.
Alice’s cheeks flushed crimson. She looked away, unable to hide the warmth spreading across her face.
Evelyn, still cradling Ethan against her huge tits, let out a muffled giggle and pulled him a little closer, his face nestling deeper into the soft warmth of her tanned skin.
She was a little disappointed she hadn’t been able to fight, but she was happy everything had ended well.
Besides, after a whole day setting the trap, her man’s balls were probably full again.
She could finally suck him dry once more!
Unaware of what was going through Evelyn’s mind, Ethan turned his attention to the flood of system notifications waiting for him.
[You killed: 1x corrupted giant wolf.
+200% XP
+2 prestige]
[You completed the quest: "Beast of the Night."
Rewards have been moved to the system inventory.]
[You have leveled up! Level 29 – 32
You have received 6 free attribute points!]
Ethan wasn’t the only one. All the guards had consumed the XP bonus potion and leveled up at least once each, as did the hunters, who received a generous share of experience for participating in the kill.
By then, the hunters were already working on the carcass, extracting as much blood, meat, organs, and bone as they could manage.
Nothing from a second-stage beast could go to waste.
Only the head had been set aside untouched, reserved to be displayed as a trophy for the people of Goldenveil. But not for long. Once the display was done, the teeth would be stripped to craft hunting weapons, and the bones would find good use in the hands of Ethan’s craftsmen.
Unfortunately, not everything was cause for celebration.
While Ethan rested in the arms of his two wives, Doran crouched over one of his fallen guards, the one who had taken the wolf’s attack directly.
The man’s eyes were rolled back, and a bloody hole gaped through his chest from one side to the other.
The two bodies beside him were somewhat more intact, their lives taken by the electric shock, which had essentially forced their hearts to stop.
A simple healing spell might have saved them, but there had been no time to react and now, it was too late.
With a quiet groan, Ethan pushed himself to his feet and walked over to stand beside Doran.
"I’m sorry," he said, his voice low, studying the complicated expression on the captain’s face.
"It’s all right. I’m used to it now." Doran shook his head slowly, a tired sigh slipping past his lips, his eyes remaining fixed on the bodies.
He had lost good soldiers before. These three were just a few more.
They had no families waiting for them, but they still mattered.
Ethan said nothing more. He stood in silence for a moment, staring at the bodies, before shaking his head and turning away.
It was a dangerous world. He was lucky not to have lost anyone he held dear.
"When we get back to the barracks, begin recruiting. I want fifty trained guards ready before the start of winter."
Doran gave a firm nod, then offered a brief, quiet prayer for his men before rejoining the rest of the guard to begin preparing the bodies for transport.
They didn’t linger.
With Goldenveil’s defenses down and the group completely exposed, they moved out within thirty minutes, the beast’s carcass hoisted onto the hunters’ shoulders as they began the trek back through the Eternal Forest.
A few isolated goblins attacked along the way, drawn by the scent of blood from the three dead guards, but with Doran, Ethan, and Evelyn there, they were dealt with quickly and without much trouble.
It was past midnight by the time Ethan finally sank into his bed, feeling the familiar, comfortable weight of his two wife’s voluptuous bodies settle against him on either side.
It had been a long day, with many losses and many gains.
