Archwizard K’s Journey In The Cultivation World

Case 99: Just how many circles again??

As Kierra quietly appreciated the steady pulses of her new heart, curious little things began to gather around her.

''Let me see!''

''Tch, you're blocking the light.''

''Er... can you guys just sit down properly??''

''...''

It was a bit chaotic.

Indeed, they did seem fascinated by this new masterpiece, but somehow, their eyes were strangely... hungry. 

''Kierra, can I touch them?'' Yu Chen asked, her tone serene as always.

''...It should be fine—hm? Them?''

Receiving explicit permission, Yu Chen happily dived her hands into the archwizard's bountiful bosom, popping the fruits to her heart's content.

As soon as the overly soft, warm, and pleasantly slippy sensation touched the martial master's brain—

''Mn...!''

Unexpectedly, a high-pitched moan escaped Kierra's mouth. Knitting her brows, the exhausted wizard growled,

''What... do you think are you doing? It's still sensitive.''

'''' ... ''''

There was a saying: Everything will look pretty if a beauty is doing it.

Indeed, even the displeased Kierra seemed exceptionally alluring. More than scared, the women's eyes were drawn to that expression, their hearts on the verge of kicking them, telling them, 'What are you doing to her, idiot?! '

Exposed shoulders, damp, milky skin.

Exquisite collarbones clenching.

Faint shades of pink slipping out of Yu Chen's grasp.

''Ugh...!''

Unable to withstand the pressure, Tian Yun clutched her nose, barely preventing fresh blood from spurting out.

After Kierra angrily tapped the naughty hands away and pulled her clothes up, things finally calmed down. That was from Kierra's perspective, of course.

The others were on the verge of bursting.

''...What's with those looks?'' Kierra scoffed. ''What? Are you trying to do it here? With this many people?''

'''' ... ''''

''Totally unmanageable.''

Suppose the whole relationship was polyamorous, perhaps. However, when all seven people only wanted to do it with Kierra, the experience would only leave some people frustrated instead. 

No matter how skilled Kierra was, she couldn't take care of seven at once.

What were they going to do? Licking her thighs and neck while self-pleasuring?

'...Wait, they might do that.'

''Me, teacher!''

''Hm?''

Suddenly, the bouncy pink ball spoke up.

''You can use clones!'' Diamante suggested. ''We can have one Kierra each, and everybody will be happy!''

''...Dia.''

''Yes?''

''I won't be happy.''

''W-Why??''

With a smile, the archwizard uttered, ''Have you ever imagined orgasming with multiplied sensitivity?''

''Ah.''

Of course, the archwizard had tried many plays with August or Diamante before. However, one seemingly obvious tactic—increasing sensitivity—was always being avoided.

On top of disrupting bodily balance and causing movement difficulties, it could often lead to a decrease in pleasure. This was because of the 'suddenness' more than anything. Generally speaking, heightened sensitivity was only suitable if gradually trained, not obtained. 

Constitutions that could make use of the 'obtained' were rare.

'Succubi... maybe?'

The archwizard let out a sigh.

Really, why was she thinking about sex all of a sudden?

Right, these horny little perverts.

''Hmph.''

So, the archwizard proudly sulked, locking herself in her bedroom, never to be seen for a few days. During this time, she diligently exercised her mana, making sure all the mana veins were functioning properly.

Once everything was deemed smooth, she moved on to the last step.

'Finally...'

Mana circles.

For the first time in human history, a wizard with eleven mana circles would appear.

''Whew...''

Sitting on the floor with all her clothes removed, Kierra began channeling her mana. Since the first circle was the easiest yet perhaps the most important one to build, every wizard took it seriously.

It served as a base for the subsequent circles to come—a guideline, to be exact. The more perfect the first one was, the better the others would be.

On average, a novice wizard would spend around a day shaping their first circle, but as experienced as Kierra was, she would only need around six hours.

Six hours for the most exquisite mana circle.

Counting in the effort to calm her qi so as not to cause a spontaneous explosion, it should take around seven or eight hours.

While Kierra was busy building up her strength, the others were not slacking either.

''Hm...''

August, who finally decided that she had rested enough, leisurely grabbed her sword and began practicing in Kierra's garden. As she sliced a few pieces of the air, her lips parted.

''Now that I think about it... what about your spare lives, little bird?''

''Huh?''

Diamante, who absentmindedly watched the Sword Empress nearby, responded.

''You need to revive quickly. My darling's shield can't be used only once, no?''

''Muh...'' The phoenix princess pouted. ''Don't treat me like that. I can shield, I can attack, too!''

''With your meager firepower?''

(╬≖_≖)

Cross veins popped on Diamante's forehead as she heard the sneer. Even if her specialty was indeed survivability, her flame wasn't anything to scoff at either.

''Hahahah... aight, aight, I'll let you taste it—the legendary undying flame...!''

Cold and hot mana began to collide in the air as Diamante approached August. 

''Thinking back, we've never fought even once, have we?'' The Sword Empress said, dragging her blade in absolute composure.

''Probably? You're too scared to come at me when I was Kierra's girlfriend anyway.'' The princess scoffed, cracking her knuckles.

When the tension between the two reached a boiling point, as tangible sparks exploded in the air, the unceremonious sound of a door opening rang.

''What are you two doing in my garden?!''

A window situated on the second floor—Kierra's bedroom window. Poking out of there was the archwizard herself, angry and naked.

''Do I need to kick you out?''

thud—!

With that warning, the door shut closed.

'''' ... ''''

Suddenly, all fighting intent within the two disappeared. At this point, they could only swallow their saliva and retract their mana.

''...Hey, bird.''

''What.''

''Wanna eat some ice cream?''

''Fine.''

''Whew...''

Sprawling out on the floor, Kierra felt the cold wooden material cool off the heat while simultaneously relaxing her muscles.

'I really should have put the heart higher...'

A few more days had passed, and Kierra's journey to become the greatest wizard continued smoothly. By this point, she had successfully built five fresh mana circles for her new heart, increasing her mana capacity by a considerable amount.

With this pace, she would soon achieve a double as long as nothing happened.

It was fine until that point, yes.

The calculations were perfect. Yet, what Kierra didn't account for was the visual aspect of it. Mana circles were of a bright blue color, simmering into white at the densest parts. When overclocking, they could even shine through human flesh.

So, as many as five bright circles had already formed on Kierra's skin.

In the mirror, it looked fine. Kierra was still beautiful. If anything, they gave her a divine look—nothing to scoff at.

However...

'Nine... no, ten, perhaps?'

The problem was, if they continued to form like this, the tenth circle would overlap her nipples.

''...''

No, wasn't that kind of weird...?

Realizing she was worrying about a practically useless problem, Kierra ashamedly threw on clothes and walked outside for the first time in a week.

''Oh, she's here!''

''Kierra!''

''Master.''

Coincidentally, Angelica was also present. 

After greeting her mistresses, Kierra expressed her intention to go outside.

''I need some real exercise. Magically, of course.''

''Oh... I'm curious!'' Angelica exclaimed. ''Did you manage to add a new circle?''

''Five of them.''

''...Yes?''

''Five of them. I have fifteen... for the moment.''
