Chapter 154: A New Mana Cultivation Technique (2)

Beneath the modest habit lay a less-than-modest pair of panties.

Lacy, red lingerie, a stark contrast to the pious nun’s attire.

‘She planned this.’

Lillia had anticipated this scenario. Her innocent facade hid a well of lust and desire.

My fiancée knew how to tempt a man.

As her habit rode up, plump buttocks, too round to be contained by the flimsy panties, were on full display.

I couldn’t resist. The sight of Lillia like this ignited my desire.

I roughly pulled down her panties, revealing her pink vulva, already glistening wet.

“Julian?”

My touch wasn’t as gentle as usual. Lillia seemed surprised by my rough demeanor. But she quickly yielded to my lust.

“Alright…♡ Whenever you want, Julian…♡”

She could have protested, but having prepared such provocative lingerie, she was clearly aroused. She offered no resistance.

I rubbed my erect cock against her ass cheeks. The plushness felt as good as ever.

Her ample hips filled my vision. Gripping her buttocks, I aligned my tip with her anus.

“Relax. I’ll be gentle.”
“Yes…”

Despite my words, I wanted nothing more than to ram into her. Maintaining any semblance of control was difficult.

As I entered her, her anus clenched tightly around my glans. The resistance was stronger than expected.

I wondered if I could even get my shaft fully inside.

“It’s okay…!! Ugh…”

Lillia relaxed her anal muscles.

She was actively dispelling the resistance of taking me into a place meant to remain pure.

It was typical of her, having taken my thick cock many times before. Her willingness made me want to ravage her even more.

I pushed harder without hesitation, and slowly, I felt her insides yield.

“Haah!! It’s in!!”

Even Lillia couldn’t suppress a cry of pain. But quickly, holy power shimmered, and a slick fluid coated my cock.

Holy power lube, to aid the piston-like motion. It made the movement even smoother.

I began to unleash my lust into Lillia’s hole.

Thrust- Thrust- Thrust-

It was far more intense than in her room at the Imperial Palace. The usual lover-like foreplay was skipped.

This was pure, primal thrusting, driven by my masculine urges.

Like a man accustomed to dominance and power, my cock moved relentlessly in and out of Lillia’s anus.

“Ahh… So big!! Too big…!!”

I squeezed her luscious ass and ravished her thoroughly.

Lillia didn’t utter her usual pleas to be savored.

Instead, I was savoring her exactly as I desired.

“Haah!! If… If you thrust so hard!!”

Her flustered reactions were unfamiliar. But she was gradually adapting.

Her anus tightened around my cock with each thrust, making it almost impossible to pull out.

The pleasure intensified tenfold.

“Haan!! Ahhn!! Heut?! Hiit!!”

She responded intensely to every movement inside her. It was as if she was trying to savor my rougher side even more than usual, focusing entirely on the sex.

She abandoned her usual dirty talk, only letting out high-pitched moans.

In this moment, Lillia was like a bitch in heat. I had the urge to spank her round ass.

But I managed to restrain myself. Lillia wasn’t Chloe.

I didn’t need to go that far. The feeling of fucking her senselessly from behind was enough.

I quickly unbuttoned the back of her habit.

As the loosened top fell away, I saw a red bra matching her panties. I unhooked it and tossed it onto the table.

Lillia’s large breasts jiggled freely. With my cock still buried inside her, I reached forward.

Squeezing her full breasts sent a thrill through me. They were exquisite, large, unlike any other woman’s.

“Haaan!! If you do that, I’ll cum!!!”

Unable to contain myself any longer, I came inside her. At the same time, Lillia’s back arched as she climaxed.

I held her as she slumped against me, our bodies intertwined for a moment.

---

A strong wave of post-coital clarity washed over me.

I was slightly bewildered. It wasn’t like me.

‘What came over me?’

Lillia was the Empire’s Third Princess. I always treated her with consideration during our sexual encounters.

But just now, I had acted purely on my own desires. It wasn’t violent, but it was undeniably selfish.

Lillia had climaxed, but given the location of our coupling, a certain degree of care was usually required.

‘Could it be the Orhain… the original cultivation technique?’

I hadn’t practiced it yet, but just thinking about the principles within made my body react.

While reading the history book, passages from the manual had flashed through my mind.

The Orhain swordsmanship, pursuing speed beyond human limits, was reflected in their Mana Cultivation technique.

The mana pulsing within me felt like a runaway train, out of control.

The rapidly pulsing mana drew in more mana like a magnetic field. This surge of mana influenced my will,

Making me more aggressive, more primal.

‘I didn’t even practice it, but is my body too talented?’

Just the thought of it triggered a physical response. My will was swept away by the current, losing its composure.

And at that moment, a beautiful woman was giving me a blowjob, tempting me. I couldn’t suppress the surge of passion.

‘I can’t use this as is. I need to combine it with the Reinhardt original and refine it…’

It was proof that my thinking was correct. Though it made me lose control momentarily, I could feel the mana accumulating rapidly.

If I could suppress the backlash, I could create a Mana Cultivation technique unlike anything ordinary mana users could imagine.

My thoughts threatened to spiral, but I stopped. Lillia had gone silent.

She was quietly cleaning up after our lovemaking. She was probably also taken aback by the intensity.

‘If she’s angry, I’ve been disrespectful to a princess.’

Lillia remained silent. Usually, she would talk to me affectionately after sex, asking if I felt good, or expressing her own happiness.

Her silence unnerved me. Leaving her discarded lingerie on the floor, she adjusted her habit and met my gaze.

“Hmm. Julian, would you please sit here?”

I felt like a child who had misbehaved. Lillia’s expression was different than usual, serious and contemplative.

Like a mother about to reprimand her son.

I obeyed.

---

Besides tables, the 23rd floor also had comfortable sofas.

As befitting a royal area, the sofa was incredibly plush. But unsure of what Lillia would say, I felt uneasy.

“Lie down here.”

Lillia patted her lap. I lay down, my head resting on her thighs. The silence continued. I braced myself for a scolding, but

Lillia simply stroked my hair. Then, as if she had gathered her thoughts, she spoke.

“Julian, the anus is a sensitive area. Unlike the vagina, you can’t be so rough!”

Her tone was unusually firm and strict. Startled, I replied in a serious, apologetic voice,

“I’m sorry. You were just so alluring today…”

My dejected tone seemed to fluster her.

“No! I wasn’t trying to blame you, Julian.”

She stroked my hair more quickly.

“That I was alluring. Hehe. I’m actually happy you were so aroused by me, Julian. But it was different from your usual gentle self…”

Lillia glanced at the manual on the table.

“It must be the influence of that Mana Cultivation technique. The Orhain technique allows for rapid mana accumulation, but the side effects are significant. Especially with the original technique stored here.”

To my surprise, Lillia had perfectly diagnosed my condition. She continued,

“The Sentiac Knights were instrumental in the Great War 20 years ago. But unlike the White Night Knights, they were brutal, indiscriminately slaughtering the demons. Even innocent civilians.”

Even after the war, some Sentiac Knights couldn’t shake their bloodlust. They caused considerable trouble in the southern part of the Empire.

And all of them practiced a modified version of the Orhain Mana Cultivation technique.

“The technique allowed for rapid gains in strength, but the side effects were severe. The healers of the Medica Order studied those cases carefully. We couldn’t leave such dangerous madmen unchecked.”

I learned something new thanks to Lillia.

As the most outstanding student of the Medica Order, she knew things I didn’t.

‘If even the watered-down version has severe side effects, the original must be even worse.’

I could probably suppress the side effects with the rosary, but it would be dangerous for Lucia.

“Oh my. But don’t worry too much. You placed the Orhain manual next to the Reinhardt one. You’re clearly thinking of creating a new Mana Cultivation technique, aren’t you?”
“Indeed.”

Lillia grasped my intentions immediately.

“Then there’s no need to worry. I’m a fairly competent healer, you know. I know how to mitigate the side effects of the Orhain technique.”

My ears perked up. I stared at her intently.

“Oh my. You must be very curious. But…”

Lillia loosened her habit again, revealing her ample bosom.

“I need to soothe your remaining anger, Julian. You might pounce on me again like before.”

She said, placing her nipple in my mouth.

“Haan…♡ Mother’s milk is a sacred liquid that can soothe even crying babies… So I’ll soothe your anger with my milk…♡”

A sweet liquid flowed from her erect nipple. Lillia reached down and placed her hand between my legs.

“Would you mind taking off your pants again?”

I couldn’t refuse her gentle request. Her breast milk and handjob continued until we were ready to leave the library.

As Lillia said, I felt much calmer.

---

I spent the next few days refining the Mana Cultivation technique.

I made significant progress. Using Lillia’s advice, I modified both original techniques and adjusted them to my body.

The results were far superior to the standard White Night Knights technique.

My mana, which had surged after reaching the third rank, was no longer being wasted. The new technique allowed me to utilize it efficiently, increasing the capacity of my mana heart.

‘The Orhain technique was the key to quickly raising the rank of my mana heart.’

I hadn’t reached the fourth rank yet, but

I felt confident I could achieve it before starting Pantheon’s hidden trials, specifically Roya’s trial, the first one.

And to complete the refinement, I needed someone.

“Count Julian? Are you serious about joining me on a Reserve Squad mission?”

Lucia, the pink-haired warrior from the Combat Order. It was her. She was also the one I needed to teach the refined Mana Cultivation technique to.

‘She’s also the heroine most likely to quickly grasp the truth of this twisted world.’

This mission was meant to give Lucia the motivation to dedicate herself to the sword and to accept the Mana Cultivation technique I offered.

I replied,

“Yes, Lucia. You need to fulfill your mandatory mission deployments, don’t you? And what about Silver?”
“That’s true, but… I’m worried I’ll hold you back… I’m a member of the Silver Wing Squad, after all.”
“No. I know your skills are sufficient. Trust me.”

Lucia’s pink eyes widened at my words.

I entered the mission reception room at the Reserve Squad headquarters. There was a mission I had been waiting for.

‘It’s finally here.’

The mission involved the Vireia Mercenary Group, operating in the underworld.

The mission Lucia always failed when I played as her. I intended to succeed.
