CHAPTER 217: 217. GREATER TELEPORTATION

Jake’s finger hovered over the ability panel and after a second of thought, he pressed on the yes icon.

[Congratulations. You have learned an Epic Spell!]

[Spell: Greater Teleportation]

[Grade: Epic (High)]

[Level: 1]

[Usage Cost: 10 mana / km]

[Description: Lets the user teleport anywhere within 500 kilometers radius of oneself.]

[Cooldown: 1 second / km travel]

Jake’s eyes widened as he read the details of his newly upgraded ability. Even he didn’t think the spell would have such great reach.

’I thought it’d get me at most 100 miles but this is way better...’ Jake stood up, dismissing the status panel.

Grimbow wasn’t a particularly large kingdom but it wasn’t small either. Compared to countries on Earth, it was approximately the same size as France.

That meant this spell could take him anywhere in the nation in just two tries. The distance from Lustin to his dungeon fell well within the range of Greater Teleportation.

Fifteen minutes later, Jasmine came back to the room, only to see her master murmuring things to himself.

The slave girl looked at Fiona for an answer but she only shook her head.

"Umm, master?"

"Oh?" Jake turned to her and said. "Come here, stand near me."

The panther girl obliged and came to his right side.

Jake grabbed her thin waist and pulled her closer. He then continued repeating the chant in a low voice.

About a minute later, he finally took a long sigh and smiled. Upgrading that spell had also made the system give him a new chant.

This one was even more complex than what Sren taught him but somehow it wasn’t that difficult to learn.

Obviously, he hadn’t mastered the root magical functions but learning the chant was enough for now.

"Alright." Jake took a long breath and began channeling his mana while repeating those same murmurs.

At the same time, he closed his eyes and thought of the place he wanted to teleport.

By now, both of these girls knew that their master could teleport. However, the magic circle this time was completely different and even somewhat terrifying.

The farther the destination, the more mana this spell used. Thus, Jake was like a black hole of mana at the moment.

As he imagined being at the sacred groves in the Moonlight Forest, space cracked and thick, black lightning zapped around the magic circle.

"Wha-"

"This-"

The whole inn shook alongside Fiona and Jasmine’s cries which suddenly cut off. By the time the innkeeper had reached upstairs to see what was happening, his three customers had already disappeared.

Several tens of kilometers away from Lustin was the infamous Moonlight Forest.

These days, it was nothing like the beautiful woods of the past. The dreamlike fairyland had gradually died down and in its place, roots of evil took place.

The trees and plants that grew in this forest were now dark and twisted. The flowers were red, purple or black, and always came with either poison or thorns. Mostly both.

Peaceful creatures of the past had rapidly died down. Some evolved and gained demonic traits while others migrated. Now, the moonlight forest had all kinds of monsters. However, even they feared the evil nymphs at the core.

At a place where no man or beast dared to step foot into, a large magic circle appeared, bringing in three individuals.

"-t is happening?!"

"-Much mana!"

The two women’s cries rang in the deep dark forest which was awfully silent. The atmosphere was terrifying for both Jasmine and Fiona who both covered their mouths and huddled closer to their master.

’’A lot has changed since I last left." Jake chuckled as he walked toward a large tree.

"D-Daddy, where are we?" Fiona looked around and asked in a timid voice.

With her power, she didn’t have anything to fear but then again, her mind wasn’t truly developed.

On the other hand, Jasmine was simply too sacred to even utter a word. She got startled every time leaves rustled or if the branches shook.

"Sigh." Jake patted a tree beside him and said. "Alright, stop scaring them."

Suddenly, evil laughters resounded all over the woods. The previously still trees suddenly shook violently and several beautiful women morphed out.

"Hmm..." Jake licked his lips as he stared at these evil dryads who charmingly walked toward him and got on their knees.

"We were waiting for your arrival, master." said Allamanda, the eldest among the six.

"Stand." Jake replied. "I have new orders."

Some minutes later, Jake and his girls were sitting in a large hall made entirely out of living wood and vines. Jasmine and Fiona weren’t so scared now but they still kept their distance from the dryads.

These forest nymphs were all over their master, feeding and pleasuring him while they watched in silence.

Jake held Sinense and Fernis on both sides, squeezing their melons while listening to Bellis’s reports.

Moonlight forest was kind of in the middle of Grimbow. Now that he had it under control, Jake wanted it to be a checkpoint for expansion towards the central province.

After listening to Bellis for a while, he began telling the dryads about the plans that he’d previously formulated.

He also inquired about the druid which used to guard this forest. After learning that Edgar had suddenly left for an important task, Jake quickly added that with the information he got from Erin.

’So he also participated with those elves...’ Jake smirked.

This "meeting" lasted for two hours before he finally stood up, much to the sorrow of the two dryads who’d been happily sucking.

"I’m leaving now. Line up."

Immediately, the other four dryads also got down and took turns to suck his fat meat.

"Mrrmh~"

"Mnnh!"

"Slurp Slurp~"

Patting their leaf-crowned heads, Jake gave all of the dryads hot drinks of his white milk.

After that, he started chanting the spell again. Seeing this, the homunculus and the slave hurriedly came to his side and held arms tightly.

"Farewell, Master!" The six evil nymphs stood up, licking their sticky lips.

As the magic circle became larger and larger, Jake nodded to them and closed his eyes. A moment later, the forest became silent again.

...

Dungeon of Sins, 66th Floor.

As Lena hummed a cheerful tune while sucking bits of mana from the dungeon core, she suddenly sensed a magical signature forming right beside her.

It was as if space itself was contracting from all sides, manifesting something out of thin air. And that "something" was a huge magic circle which formed on the polished white floor.

"W-What is that?!" The dungeon fairy exclaimed, backing away.

This was the core chamber of the dungeon. How could anyone even teleport here?

Before she could even try to comprehend what was happening, three figures flashed before her eyes.

"Huh?"

"Where are we now?"

The two girls beside the tall demon looked around, muttering to themselves when a sharp cry jolted them.

"Master!" Lena flew toward Jake and immediately hugged him.

"You’re back!" She snuggled herself deeper into his chest while rapidly fluttering her translucent wings in excitement.

If it was any other time, Jake would’ve already shooed her away but this time, he let her be.

Patting the fairy’s cute head, he looked at her body which was roughly the size of a 12-year-old human child.

"Looks like you’re grown a lot while I was gone, eh?" He noted.
