The Quest Is Simply To NTR All The Heroes

Chapter 122: Veil of Shadows!

Under the water, he saw his hands suddenly shimmer and a second later, turn transparent like glass.

?!

'What the fuck? Invisibility?'

Kaisen was at a loss for words.

The AI of the creators had tailored a skill for him based on his play style, and it turned out to be an invisibility spell.

He looked down and indeed, he was right. He couldn't see his legs. It was more like his legs had vanished into thin air.

'I-If the AI gives me a skill like this, what does that make me?'

He shook his head and quickly climbed out of the pool.

The water around him parted violently, but there was no visible cause.

He wanted to see his reflection for himself, to understand this new skill.

Moving to the other side of the pool, where the water was less disturbed, he leaned in again to see his reflection.

But unlike before, he couldn't see himself at all.

'Holy molly! This is the real deal.'

He touched himself and felt his body just like always.

'So I'm here physically, but not visually?'

He looked back and forth between the calm water and his own body, trying to confirm his theory.

'An invisibility skill just before I take on this Night Shade, huh? Seems suspicious.'

It indeed was suspicious. But, hey, it was better than nothing, and he could use anything and everything to fight against a thing he didn't understand.

After confirming his doubts, he glanced at the timer running out in his mind and then slowly dived into the water again, trying hard not to make it seem suspicious from above.

A moment later, his body shimmered, and his appearance returned to normal. He climbed out of the pool and checked the cool-off time.

'Three minutes? I can use this skill in another three minutes for thirty seconds. That means this skill is for heavy usage.'

A sinister smile threatened to creep up on his lips.

'Now, let's see if the boys are corrupted or not, shall we?'

...

Kaisen walked straight to the campfire, making sure not to forget his clothes.

By the time he got there, Llyod was about to leave for his morning rounds with the fake Elfie.

It had been a few days since Elfie had been up to the task, and Llyod was visibly excited about it.

When Kaisen interfered, Llyod was understandably pissed off.

"Eh? You want to come with us? For rounds?"

Llyod raised an eyebrow as he patted his horse, adjusting the saddle.

"Yeah, why not? You are my best friend, and I think we haven't spent much time together since coming here. Not much time—any time at all."

There was no way in hell Kaisen was going to let Llyod go alone with one of the shapeshifters.

Especially the fake Elfie.

Fake Sable might be naive, but this woman was very cautious. Plus, it was a reasonable request.

"B-but..."

Llyod hesitated, clearly torn because Elfie was about to join him, something he had looked forward to for what felt like an eternity.

Kaisen kept his expression neutral, masking his true intentions. He needed to ensure Llyod's safety without raising suspicion.

"Come on, buddy, don't you want to spend time with your best friend? Like the old times, when we would steal uranium chips and run away while the factory workers chased us. Ah, such was life."

Kaisen reminisced, as if it had happened years ago, even though it was just a month ago, right before they were trapped here.

Llyod was conflicted. On one hand, there was Elfie, standing just apart from him, excited to be on patrol with him after a few days.

On the other hand, there was his best friend, who had been with him since childhood, wanting to spend time together.

He would have obviously chosen Elfie on any other day, but for some reason, Kaisen's words were very convincing.

He didn't know that his best buddy was using his skill right now.

"Come on, Elfie-san. You've been going on rounds with him for so long, you won't miss just one day with him, will you? Besides, he'll just spend some time with me and come back, okay?"

Kaisen pleaded, grabbing both of her hands and bringing them to his chest as if begging.

In reality, he was using his new and upgraded Touch of Temptation to get what he wanted.

Seeing her red and flustered face, he was sure it was working.

Even the fake Elfie, who hated every inch of being touched by him, was getting weak from the inside.

"Ah, okay. You should go with him. I-I'll see you l-later then, L-Llyod-san."

Stuttered the fake Elfie, the shapeshifter, the enemy.

"Ah, good. Maximus, you too. Let's go for a boys' trip, shall we?"

"Who? Me? Huh, I guess...why not."

The poor knight nodded his head and prepared his stallion.

"Wait here for a second, I have something to ask the ladies, okay?"

Kaisen said and jogged toward the cave. Llyod and Maximus watched him go, then shrugged at each other.

After a few minutes, Kaisen returned with a big grin on his face, as if he'd discovered something crucial, and hopped onto his horse.

"Come on, boys... Let us go."

Both nodded, and all three rode into the woods, leaving the caves behind.

...

After fifteen minutes of riding through the identical trees that looked like a cut-and-paste job, Kaisen spoke up.

"Speed up and make sure you guys stick with me. I have something important to tell you."

Without waiting for their reply, he rode past them.

This made the remaining duo frown before looking at each other for a moment.

They shrugged, as if saying, "It's Kaisen, he's like that," and followed him.

Kaisen was doing this based on the assumption that these shapeshifters couldn't move as fast as the horses.

He also hoped there wouldn't be any mounts in the trees for them to keep up with the horses.

Both Maximus and Llyod felt their hearts beating faster for some reason. A sense of nervousness crept over them.

After ten more minutes of riding, Kaisen took a deep breath and spoke again.
