City of Witches Chapter 222

Life might be less eventful than one thinks.

Just eat well, live well, and fight well.

Though Siwoo, having become a Spirit Body, was deprived of the freedom to take a shit, thanks to Sharon, he was instead releasing something different refreshingly every single day.

Originally, it was time for Siwoo to attend magic lessons from Sharon.

Even the one-sided curriculum of Sharon's elemental lessons had undergone a change.

"That's all for today's progress..."

"Huh? Already?"

"Already? It's all because you learn too fast, Siwoo."

Originally, it was time for Sharon to teach Siwoo the theory of elemental system Magic.

Siwoo had nothing to teach Sharon in return, so it would normally end there and they'd disperse.

Afterwards, Sharon would go her own way, and Siwoo would go his, each engaging in research and self-study activities, but...

A change had occurred.

For Sharon, who needed to receive ejaculation inside the vagina from Siwoo to recover her Brand, an additional class period had effectively been added.

"Ahem, ahem... Now... it's time for me to get my recovery shot from Siwoo."

Sharon, closing her book with a thud, twisted her body and got up from her seat.

Here, 'recovery shot' naturally referred to Hierarchy recovery sex.

Sharon seemed to find saying 'Let's have sex!' a bit too brazen, so she had coined that strange phrase.

Yet, once they were actually rubbing flesh on the bed, she'd use all sorts of lewd words freely—a woman's heart is truly unfathomable.

"No, but that outfit... it's impossible. I don't know where to look."

"That's why I wore it. Pretty?"

Sharon, who had been lounging around since morning wearing nothing but one of Siwoo's dress shirts, had even finished the lesson in that state.

Naked with a dress shirt, naked with an apron, naked with this and that—there were various variations, but truthfully, Siwoo had no particular interest in such tastes.

No, he thought he didn't.

That was, until he witnessed the groundbreaking fashion show personally curated by Sharon.

The hem of the shirt, teasingly revealing Sharon's plump inner thighs.

Both hands slipping inside the sleeves.

The magnificent mammatongs vigorously lifting the chest area achieved both taste reformation and targeted sniping Simultaneously.

"You still like it even though we do it every day?"

"So, you don't? I always like it. I especially like it when you do it from behind... well, that said..."

As Sharon braced herself on the bed and slid her buttocks out, the back of the shirt rode up, naturally revealing Sharon's tightly closed slit.

Then, every time, he'd think, 'Isn't this a bit too frequent?' only to succumb to temptation.

"So, are you not going to do it?"

Especially when she wiggled her buttocks seductively in this doggy-style position, it became impossible to refuse.

It had been roughly half a month since Siwoo first entered a relationship with Sharon.

It wasn't only during lesson time that they mingled bodies.

'Siwoo, wanna try that too?'

While watching a movie,

'Siwoo, I... think I'm wet...'

Before going to sleep at night,

'Slurp, sluuurp, Siwoo... haa... are you awake...?'

Upon waking up,

'Si, Siwoo... th, there too... the inside too... clean it thoroughly.... ah... haang... ugh...'

Or when bathing together.

Et cetera.

Takasho had given various pieces of advice regarding women's issues, and they mostly matched up, but even the great sage was wrong about something.

You get tired if you keep doing it with one woman?

That must be because you've never held Sharon's hot body.

Anyway, with them overturning the dinner table whenever their eyes met, there wasn't a day Siwoo's cock dried of love juice.

Thanks to that, Sharon recovered one level of her Hierarchy in just three days.

Thinking about it, it's quite ironic.

Like infusing internal energy into someone with severed meridians in a martial arts novel to open their pathways, using a cock to unblock an incompletely succeeded Brand.

The day Sharon first crossed the threshold in just three days.

'Si...SiwooSiwooSiwoo!!!! Me! I did it! I did it!!!!'

Sharon rushed into Siwoo's arms, tears of joy streaming down her face.

It seemed she would quickly climb back to the 20th Hierarchy, but...

Unfortunately, things in this world don't get resolved that easily.

After that, perhaps because the recovery difficulty increased, there was little progress.

Even with the same ejaculation, pounding, and pouring pure magic power, there was no significant change.

However, Sharon was not one to know how to give up.

If she were, she would have given up on repaying her debts long ago.

Unyielding even in the face of sudden stagnation, she proceeded with research on the recovered 18th stroke.

Because recovering a Brand didn't mean one could immediately utilize all the Magic stored within it.

A single stroke of a Brand contained magical knowledge accumulated over decades, or even over a century, and sufficient time was needed to digest it.

Anyway, after thoroughly banging his thighs against Sharon's plump buttocks today and injecting white babies into her, Siwoo received Sharon's meticulous cleaning fellatio and headed for the rooftop.

Siwoo's second daily routine after lessons ended was learning combat from Duke Tiferet.

No one had explicitly made the appointment, but Tiferet always waited for Siwoo on the rooftop at 4 PM.

"Good afternoon."

"Yes, get ready."

"I look forward to today's lesson as well."

Immediately after the brief greeting, Siwoo began stretching in place, loosening up his body.

He rotated every joint, lightly shadowboxed in place to warm up his body appropriately.

Eloa had spread a small Hidden Boundary and waited for him to finish warming up.

As Eloa had expected, Siwoo had no talent for martial arts.

At best, he was at the level of a physically adept ordinary person.

In fact, if he considered martial arts merely 'as part of a hobby,' Eloa wouldn't have worried much.

She would have lazily conducted the lessons, not caring whether he had talent or not.

But he was sharpening his fangs to survive, to have more options in extreme situations.

Eloa knew all too well that a blade forged from mediocre talent would, in a moment of crisis, point not at the enemy but at its master's heart.

Therefore, she had held back several times from saying, 'Have you considered looking for another path instead?'

To put it bluntly, Tiferet thought Siwoo would give up soon.

Because the time Siwoo called 'lessons' was the sum total of him flying through the air and getting knocked down.

No matter how sturdy a Spirit Body is, getting beaten up this much would make one's entire body ache.

On top of that, after days of rolling on the floor without even touching the hem of her clothes, one would naturally be filled with a sense of futility."Hyah!"

There was no such indication from Siwoo, who was turning his neck with the same expression as always.

After just one day, he would return with his enthusiasm fully recharged and stand on the rooftop.

His persistence and tenacity alone deserved applause.

"I'm ready. I'm in your care again today."

Siwoo raised his guard, pretending to be accustomed.

Eloa sighed.

If he wasn't going to give up on his own, then it was her duty as the instructor to make him properly aware of reality.

"Siwoo."

"Yes!"

Siwoo answered with a voice full of military discipline.

Truth be told, Eloa also found it awkward to say these words.

Especially to someone who didn't know the meaning of giving up and charged forward so passionately, unlike someone just killing time.

"I'll speak my honest mind. I hope you won't be too upset. It seems martial arts are not your path."

"Huh?"

"Can't you feel it too? Even after two weeks, you can't even evade a single strike, let alone block one. I'm not saying this lightly. I'm not even using half of half the strength you're exerting."

That's right.

Throughout numerous sparring sessions, Siwoo had never once managed to deal with even one of Eloa's moves.

He had barely put any of her advice into practice.

"Ah... Is that so? I thought I was doing well..."

Siwoo visibly slumped.

Feeling unnecessarily concerned, Eloa hurriedly continued.

Originally, she planned to brush him off like this, but seeing his bitter expression made the words 'So stop wasting time and quit' get stuck in her throat.

"So, how about we try a different direction? Let's start with Body Enhancement using magic power."

She regretted it the moment the words left her mouth.

Until now, the two had been competing using only the pure power of their Spirit Bodies, without using any magic power at all.

Where one's limbs would extend, where the center of gravity would shift with each posture, and so on.

Being able to visualize the movement of every limb and joint even with closed eyes is the foundation of martial arts.

It's the foundational groundwork, like solidifying the earth before building anything else on top.

If the foundation isn't properly laid, anything built upon it is futile.

For Eloa, who held such beliefs, to impulsively skip to the next curriculum...

Perhaps it was because, for a moment, she saw in Siwoo's dejected expression the disappointed and hurt face of Raphi.

"That sounds good too. When it comes to utilizing magic power, I have some confidence at least."

Unaware of Eloa's inner thoughts, Siwoo made a happy expression.

Eloa controlled her twitching eyebrows as much as possible and stood beside Siwoo.

"Have you ever used Body Enhancement before?"

"I've always done it by reinforcing my armor."

"That's usually the case."

Usually, Witches do not use magic power for Body Enhancement.

Unless they are special Witches like Eloa, there is a limit to enhancing the Spirit Body.

In that case, it's more efficient to leave defense to the Autonomous Defense of the Brand and invest the remaining magic power into Magic for offense.

Directly enhancing the Spirit Body carries a risk far greater than the return.

"Enhancing the Spirit Body with magic power might seem foolish at first glance. But even for Witches, the things they can control most freely are their own limbs, that is, their Spirit Bodies. Once you become familiar and trained, you can use it more efficiently than any other enhancement magic."

Eloa listed the basic common sense, and Siwoo obediently nodded.

"Then, first, we need to check how much magic power you have... Can you show me?"

"How much should I do?"

"As much as possible, as much as you can muster."

"Yes, understood."

Siwoo nodded with a serious expression.

And then.

-Whoosh!

A shattering golden light scatters.

His golden eyes, which usually caught attention, began to glow, sucking in all the surrounding magic power.

"What?"

Using 'personalized magic power' within the Brand to attract surrounding magic power is a Witch's basic act.

Therefore, that alone was nothing for Eloa to be surprised about.

But the attraction is different.

Typically, the greater the magic power one possesses, the stronger the attraction to draw in neutral magic power from the atmosphere.

But Siwoo was emitting a stronger attraction than any other being, despite having almost no magic power.

Enough to potentially draw in even Eloa's personalized magic power if she let her guard down for a moment.

But Eloa's shock didn't end there.

Because with a thump of a Wave of Magical Power, the gathered magic power swelled severalfold.

The magic power that swelled severalfold swelled severalfold again, and that swelled magic power swelled severalfold once more.

It began to amplify repeatedly, over and over.

Something that completely shattered the common sense of existing magical laws was happening.

Before they knew it, a brilliant golden reflection of magic power was undulating around him.

"Is this enough?"

"........."

The amount of magic power gathered had already far surpassed even Eloa's total magic power.

The overwhelming storm of magic power, rivaling that of a large Homunculus overflowing with storage space, was beyond a mere reflection and looked like sparks.

"Should I gather more?"

There wasn't just one or two astonishing aspects.

First, the amount of magic power defied common sense.

Second, that gathered magic power was achieved not through anything else but repeated amplification.

Third, despite that, it was so pure without any noise or impurities.

Lastly, Siwoo's pure expression asking as if he could still do much more.

A fragment of a brilliant talent that Eloa had not known existed.

She had discovered it now.

Author's Note (Author's Afterword)

A response to the many questions about the webtoon adaptation yesterday!

Is it being done on Toptoon?

yes!

Is it R-19?

yes!

And to share a personal feeling...

It seems the artist has prepared very diligently.

I couldn't meet them in person, but I'd like to buy them meat...

I also heard about the story when the webtoon adaptation draft was announced last time.

It's said that what was revealed then was a rough sketch the artist had drawn without intending to make it public.

I really hope you won't worry too much!

To share a bit more of my thoughts...

Objectively speaking, I was very pleased with it.

Especially the Twins... I thought they'd be hard to portray well given the nature of adult webtoons, but they were amazingly brought to life.

There's so much I want to say, but I'm not sure how much I'm allowed to say, lol.I will look forward to the future.

Have a good weekend!
