Chapter 74: Moon Priestess

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After advancing to the level of Spirit Wizard, Yang Ling’s Wizard Powers had improved drastically, allowing him to command the actions of all of his Magical Beasts within a five-kilometer radius. The Withered Tree Warriors that he had transformed into trees were like cameras, continually feeding him information from what they saw and heard. Yang Ling was able to observe the actions of all of Steve’s men without even leaving the house.

As predicted, Yang Ling only needed to supply the Rossi troops with some critical information and material supplies like rations and weapons. After that, the arrogant leader Steve had to spend all of his effort in holding them off despite the increasing pressure of their attacks. Yang Ling did not have to mobilize a single man.

Under the constant attacks, Steve had no choice but to order his patrol squad to narrow their radius and hope that this would keep the Rossi forces from launching as many sneak attacks. At the same time, he sent out a large number of scouts in hopes of learning about his enemies’ headquarters and overall abilities. He planned to exterminate the Rossi forces with one attack.

Steve was incredibly worried, but Yang Ling felt completely at ease. He spent his days either training in his yard, strolling in the serene garden with Sofia, or enjoying Alice’s massages.

Wissen Tower was large, large beyond Yang Ling’s imagination. An average garden was already as big as multiple golf courses. The refreshing air, dancing leaves, and flickering light that filtered through the foliage provided him and Sofia with a great place to meet up. Hugging the elf beauty’s slender waist, kissing her supple lips...

Every time, at the critical moment, Sofia would push Yang Ling away decisively. The forest elves were a beautiful race. Sex before marriage might not be a big deal to humans, but to the elves, it was an unpardonable offense.

The things you wanted but couldn’t have were the most precious!

Yang Ling had to forcefully control his urges. But that caused the flames of his passion to burn brighter, making him more susceptible to outside influences. Sometimes, while Alice was gently massaging his thigh, his nether region would immediately grow erect. He could not hide it even after draping himself with a thick blanket, making it incredibly awkward.

Every time Alice saw Yang Ling’s private area standing tall, her face would turn red in shame. She would be fifteen after the winter was over. Even though she was still a little clueless about the birds and the bees, she had some understanding of the differences between a man and a woman.

When she first started serving Yang Ling, all she wanted was to repay his kindness in saving her grandfather. But after she got to know Yang Ling better, she began to enjoy the time she got to spend with him. She would naturally smile when Yang Ling was happy. She would feel a wave of sadness whenever Yang Ling creased his brows.

At some point, she started seeing Yang Ling’s figure in her dreams.

Sometimes, she would dream of Yang Ling in a flowing white robe, hugging her as they rode on the snow white Unicorn, galloping in the wind. Sometimes, she would dream of Yang Ling hugging her slender waist, strolling with her in the garden that he and Sofia frequented. In fact, there would even be times where she would dream of Yang Ling holding her tightly like he held Sofia and kissing her gently on her soft earlobes...

While she was serving Yang Ling, Alice would frequently become distracted. Yang Ling did not think too much about it after chiding her several times. In his eyes, Alice was still a young girl, a gentle, kind young girl.

This night, leaning in Yang Ling’s embrace as she looked at the hazy waning moon, Sofia let out a distant sigh. “Brother Yang, this year is the Year of the Ice Moon that happens once a century. My grandfather wants me to attend the selection for the Moon Priestess. I will have no choice but to leave you for some time!”

Moon Priestess?

Yang Ling had been about to plant a soft kiss on Sofia’s forehead, but after hearing this, he paused. Even though he had been in this foreign world for some time, he was still rather unfamiliar with the customs, races, and unusual abilities that existed here. In comparison, he was more familiar with the classifications and abilities of the more common Magical Beasts.

Seeing that Yang Ling was confused, Sofia began to explain.

It turned out that there were countless intelligent races such as the elves, dwarves, humans, giants, and orcs on the Tailun Continent. After thousands of years of war, the humans had emerged victorious and taken control of a large portion of the continent’s land and resources. The other races that withdrew into the forests had at most a hundred thousand people, and some races had only a few thousand or even a few hundred members remaining.

Even though the humans were by no means exceptional when they were born, they could learn powerful magical spells and Battle Energy later in their lives, and they could generally be split into two occupations—warriors and spellcasters. Warriors were split into Knights, Swordsmen, Great Swordsmen, and Swords Saints. Spellcasters could be split into Apprentices, Spellcasters, Great Spellcasters, and Magical Tutors. Each stage could be further divided into three levels—beginner, intermediate, and high.

Over the millennia, the humans had ranked the abilities of Magical Beasts into levels from one to nine. Those with abilities higher than level nine were all consolidated and classified as saint level. According to estimates, a high level Swordsman had abilities equivalent to a level three Magical Beast, and a high level Great Swordsman had abilities equal to a level six Magical Beast. Only Sword Saints and Magical Tutors at the peak of their abilities had the power to challenge level nine Magical Beasts. It was rumored that only a powerful fighter who had the strength to affect the environment around him could challenge the fabled saint level Magical Beasts.

The humans had powerful abilities, but at the same time, the other races also had unique abilities passed down through the millennia. The orcs were naturally hardy and violent, elves were masters of natural magic and archery, dwarves had powerful physical attacks... Basically, each of the races had abilities that they were proud of that had stubbornly been passed down despite the threat of the humans and Magical Beasts.

“Sofia, then what do you think of my abilities?” Yang Ling was a little curious, having heard Sofia’s explanation.

After deliberating for a moment, Sofia creased her brows and said in a roundabout way, “Brother Yang, as a rarely seen Ancient Summoner, as long as you have your Magical Beast army protecting you, even a beginner level Sword Saint would not be able to easily defeat you, much less a Great Swordsman. But if you are unable to call out your Magical Beasts to do battle for you in time, even a beginner level Great Swordsman might be able to launch a successful sneak attack on you, so you have to be careful in the future!”

I’m weaker than a beginner level Great Swordsman?

Thinking back to the high level Great Swordsman Batiste and his soaring Battle Energy, then thinking about the terrifying Heaven-ranked Assassin, Yang Ling shook his head and laughed bitterly. Sofia was right. A Blood Wizard had no battle abilities other than being able to tame Magical Beasts. Even though he had advanced to the level of Spirit Wizard, the only offensive capability he had was his small collection of Wizard Amulets. Luckily, his constitution had been improved multiple times, making him nimble and dexterous. Otherwise, he might have already met with misfortune.

“Sofia, then what did you mean when you spoke about the Moon Priestess?”

“Moon Priestesses are the pride of the elves, having received the great blessings of the Goddess of Nature. Even though their abilities aren’t very strong in the beginning, their advantage lies in the speed of their advancement. They not only boost the offensive capabilities of their allies, they can even summon meteor showers that fall from the sky. They are immensely powerful!” Sofia was filled with pride when she spoke about Moon Priestesses.

She went on to explain that the priestesses of the elf tribe were divided into Wind Priestesses, War Priestesses, and Staff Priestesses, and each stage was further divided into high, intermediate, and beginner levels. A Moon Priestess was a Soul Priestess who had received the blessing of the Goddess of Nature. They not only had a high speed of advancement, but they also had several unique abilities.

And they were rare; there could only be one Moon Priestess born every century!

“Brother Yang, it will take three months to a year when I head to the Divine Temple this time. You have to wait for me to return!” Sofia’s eyes were red when she leaned on Yang Ling’s broad chest.

“No, I’m sorry, I can’t wait!” Leaning on Sofia’s supple skin, looking at her fair neck, taking a whiff of her faint fragrance, Yang Ling felt his blood course through him faster. After taking a deep breath, he feigned regret and shook his head.

Can’t wait?

Could Brother Yang have another woman?

After a moment’s surprise, Sofia became anxious and angry, tears welling in her eyes. If not for the members of her tribe, she would not have been able to bear to leave Yang Ling, the person she thought about day and night. But hearing him say this, she could not help but feel even more dejected.

“Haha, you clinging to me this tightly is tempting me to commit a crime!” Seeing Sofia tearing up, Yang Ling quickly kissed her forehead. “I can’t wait anymore, I want to let you taste my power!”

Clinging to him this tightly?

Feeling the bulge in Yang Ling’s pants, Sofia quickly understood what he meant by “can’t wait anymore.” Her face reddened, and she turned to run after giving him a playful glare. She was worried that she would become reluctant to leave if she stayed for a moment longer.
