Chapter 90: [Dryad!]

Dryads are races of nature.

Or to be precise one of the closest races to the nature.

Even though those statements is 100% correct, it doesn't explain everything about the race. There certainly are a few important things that people need to learn before venture.

Let's start with the three basics about dryads and explain the specifics of dryads.

They are always horny. I don't know if it is a racial defect, or something of a custom they learn, but they are always horny.

When I asked about the reason for Nvida, she said that it was due to the fact that they could suck nectar of mana and nectar of life from a person. And those nectars have an enchanting effect on them.

Supposedly, these life nectars increase their lifespan, make them powerful, and Mana nectar increases their mana pool. One of the reasons Dryads has such a large mana pool is this only.

Moving to the second

Feature of the Dryads is their ability to connect with nature. At first, I thought Dryads could connect with their surroundings within a limited range.

But then, after talking with Nvida, I understood how gravely I was underestimating them! In two words, the entire forest!! Each Dryad, no matter how small, has the capability to connect with the entire forest at once.

It is one of the innate racial abilities they carried from their birth.

This actually made me understand why Dryads was a unique class, even among the players. From what I remember, the number of Dryads Players could be counted on one hand even after a decade of this game was released.

And lastly, they were one of the mentalist categories of the races.

Mentalist wasn't an official term, but an unofficial category created by the players for their convenience.

Mentalist. Close Combat. Ranged. Support.

These five categorised all the races based on the adventure party formation. Having at least one of them each was crucial to the party's survival rate.

It was also suitable because a single race can fulfil multiple positions. Example: a Ranger could be either ranged or a support. Similar for a mage.

Back to Mentalist, they were those who used Mind magic, or charm magic to perform various tasks. Their focus was to control their enemy and let them do their dirty work.

Dryads, succubus, vampires, gargoyles, Mind Mages, etc, fall into this category. Sometimes people who can bind others using curses fall into Mentalist too.

Dryads, essentially, we're strong mentalists. Their power to charm any and all within a forest was only comparable to a royal succubus.

From what I saw, Dryad's ability was something similar to a deceit mechanism. Like how evolution developed some animals or plants to have specific attributes because of how they were needed in survival.

It's kind of similar. Dryads needed that energy from their prey, so they developed and evolved this ability. At least that's what my theory is.

"Mmmh~"

Nvida licked her lips, giving out an ecstatic voice as she moved closer to me.

"Can you at least change your form to an adult?" I spoke as I awkwardly looked at her childlike appearance before she paused and nodded.

Covering herself in giant leaves that grew from the ground, she then locked herself in a green ball of leaves. Didn't take more than a few minutes and the leaves opened up, showing the developed features of Nvida.

Her breasts were plum and showed her lower body. From a cute child, she became a sexy and hot adult in her early 20s. Her eyes and face were still similar while she wore that lust filled expression.

"Thank you," I spoke before she jumped on me and began kissing me as much as she could. Sucking out the mana from my body, I could feel her body lighting up green immediately.

Her hands then moved towards my crotch, but I had to stop immediately there. With a slight glare, I stopped her from losing control as well.

It was tragic, but if I let her suck me from there, no matter which hole, she would start taking my life energy until I die. It's not that she had any bad intentions, but according to her, my body's nectar is too pure.

How do I know that I would die from having sex with her? Experience… dozens of experiences…

Cough… cough… anyways….

For those reasons, I can't do anything beyond kissing her. Though even that much was kind of fine.

We kissed for a long while before we finally let go. Or to be exact, my Mana started running out, and I had to step back.

"Thank you for the meal," she licked her lips before she turned around and spoke," see you again, Morpheus. Hope so we could do more than what we did today."

I saw her figure vanishing from there before I looked at the unconscious children and women laying on the floor. Though before I could trouble myself, to wake them up, they began getting up on their own.

"Where am… I? Huh?! A Dark Mage!!!" shouted a woman as she looked at me while the others finally took a look at the surroundings.

Didn't take them long enough to figure out what happened here before some of them started looking at me in a confused manner.

"The way is straight there," I said before vanishing from there. I didn't go too far away from there, as I still had to make sure they would reach the town safely.

While it took them about 10 minutes to come to a decision, they started raiding the bandit's hideout first before leaving from there.

Their greed isn't really a surprise because that's how humans are. Still, I can't stay. I wasn't amazed that their first thought wasn't their safety.

Anyway, another hour passed before they safely returned to town and I, too, returned to check up on the witch sisters.

"Well. Things are fine here," I sighed before moving back towards the Underground Black Market.
