Chapter 82

In the Selection, 4 hours later after the fight with Sam and the zombie commander.

Thanks to being close to the proximity, Nycta was able to help the guy with defeating the abomination. Without her help, things could have gotten much worse. In the end, Sam's mana reserve was barely ten percent. If he was forced to stay behind or one more zombie of that caliber showed up, he could have died.

Nonetheless, they have done it. Now, what they need to do is to find the others.

"How further away from us to Lily's position?" Sam asks Nycta, who is running by his side. His power has recovered to half of his prime.

"Close! Very close!" Nycta answers him while throwing a dark flame that absorbs everything it touches forward, clearing their way. A little behind them, a girl is slashing her arms, eliminating any zombies hot on their backs.

"Do you want chocolate?" The blind girl takes a bar of sweets out from her backpack behind, proceeds to break a small piece for herself, and tosses it towards him. "Your backpack is totally destroyed, we should get you some thing."

Sam catches the chocolate bar in mid-air with his right arm. "You already tossed it before I answer!" His left arm slashes forward with Wind Blade, beheading a bunch of enemies. "Food can wait, we need to get to the rest of them fast."

"Because I knew your answer before you opened your mouth, Sammy." She smiles softly.

Sam is once again read by Nycta's telepathy. "This ability of yours is just...Haaaaa!" The poor guy sighs. Ever since his thoughts and sights were blatantly obvious to Nycta, he has been trying to get used to it. But of course, it is not easy for him to cope with having his inner thoughts being seen all the time.

"It's just so convenient, right?!!" She pumps up her D-cups. And suddenly, Nycta turns at him. "Oh wait! Don't eat the chocolate yet! I have a better idea!" She pulls him into a dark corner after eliminating everything inside of it.

The girl puts the piece of chocolate on her lips as she closes the distance between the two of them.

Sam understands what she is trying to pull. He first looks around to see if the situation is clear or not. Then, he lowers his head down slightly, catching her lips and the piece of candy.

*Chu*

Still, Nycta does not want to stop with a small peck on the lips just like that. Very natural, she brings in his mouth her tongue.

*Slurp chu gulp chu*

Her free tongue travels freely inside of Sam's mouth, pushing the piece of chocolate and licking him at the same time. She greedily sucks on his saliva being produced in a huge quantity due to the sugar, gulping down every single drop she can take. Her arms wrap tightly around him, while the controlled girl keeps on protecting them on the outside. It is good that they keep on choosing a less crowded path to go on, if not, there would be no way for her to do something like this.

Nycta twirls the tip of her soft tongue inside and out, mixing their breathing together. Very quickly, she starts to heat up and rubs her thighs together. She uses one arm to hug him, while the other travels down to his crotch.

Sam knows now that the blind girl wants to do it. Yet he does not want to have something intimate at such a location. It is simply too risky.

With his mouth being sealed shut completely, Sam can not talk. He can only scream inside his head, hoping Nycta would regain a few of her thoughts.

Not here! Nycta! Not here! He shouts.

*Slurp slurp*

"Just a little bit, please? Sammy? Darling! I just want to do it a little bit!" She begs him. "Down here is also ready!"

I want to! But this thing is broadcasted throughout the Universe, remember? I don't want anyone else to see you naked.

"Ack!" She reluctantly lets go of Sam. A clear bridge made from their mixture of saliva can be seen connecting the two. "What if I create a sphere out of Void Element?" Nycta spreads her hand and a black orb manifests above it. There seems to be total darkness, not even a ray of light can go through that orb.

But Sam shakes his head. "I don't think that will work. The power of the Goddess is unfathomable, after all."

"Tch!" The blind girl clicks her tongue.

"Let's continue to where the rest is!" He pats her head and kisses her.

"Okay! But can we run while holding hands? I'm afraid of being lost." Nycta appears to be fidgeting.

There is no way in this world or any other world out there that can make Nycta lost. She is simply trying to find an excuse for holding him.

Sam chuckles, he knows what she is planning. Hearing his laughter, she also smiles mischievously.

"Here, Miss I-am-going-to-be-lost-even-though-I-can-read-minds!" The guy gives his hand and the girl holds it gently.

"Hehe! Thanks!" Nycta's face is filled with happiness. 'Let's go then!"

The two run out of the alley, heading towards their location, Lily.

Outside of the Selection, throughout the universe where they can see it, many people, especially males, stop their hands. Besides them would be lube or similar substances. They thought that they would be able to see something nice and hot, but they were wrong. Sam and Nycta really stopped in time, because they were being watched by billions of beings.

They essentially cock-blocked at least a galaxy.

Lily has been in a tight spot.

Even though she is still safe, and she has not encountered any significant enemy such as the commander zombie, she has quite a bit of trouble dealing with the zombies.

It is easy for her to kill normal magic users. Her Laser Prism Beams can take down almost anyone within her visual field since they bend. The hot photons created from the tips of her fingers can easily burn through the head of her normal foes, taking away their lives in an instant. However, when facing the zombies, just 'burning through' is not enough.

Lily has noticed that the undead corpses must have the brain destroyed or cut off completely. Therefore, if she wants to kill them, she will have to either put a huge chunk of mana into her magic spell, or she has to use a melee attack from the weapon she has been carrying.

"Graaaah!" A group of hideous zombies charges at Lily.

With her body glowing in Physical Enhancement and the edge of her sword glowing in yellow light, Lily swings her arm.

*Whish* *Wooong*

Light Magic: Laser Sword.

The edge of her sword extends to triple its original length, not in metal, but light. Lily has condensed the laser into a blade type. And rather than shooting it out, she contains the photons, making it better for her to cleave through enemies.

Heads and bodies drop on the ground, there is no trace of blood. There is even no sound except for the sizzling of burning flesh and the whishing of her sword. Unlike Sam's magic which tends to be quite noisy, hers are quite ready silent.

But of course, she needs to be close to use this spell. In an environment where all the enemies are doing melee and ranged attacks, doing only melee is a very bad thing already. This is why she is in a pinch.

Lily has been on the run. Thanks to the seed of Nycta's magic, the masked girl at least has an idea of where she should be heading. Similar to Sam, she wanted to regroup first before doing anything. the objective of this first round is to survive, not to kill. She has seen several contestants going for the kill, seemingly trying to appeal to the Goddess. To those people, she fired Laser Prism Beam from a discreet location while covering herself with Invisible, taking them out before they turn.

It is just that there have been two annoying things that keep on pestering her.

One, the disease, the zombie alteration, for someone who has medical and biological education, Lily knows that this whole thing is simply not logical. The kind of pathogen that can change the body and control the host at the speed of less than one day is beyond her. Even if she wanted to make a cure, it would be nearly impossible due to the fast rate of infection.

The faster the infection, the faster the mutation rate. The faster the mutation rate, the longer the treatment. This means that for this particular disease, there is no possible cure.

She would like the rest to know this info so that they either kill the zombies before being bitten or kill themselves when being bitten.

"Ah! Look at that! Isn't that a girl?!" A voice of a man, followed by another one.

"Wow! Really! There is a woman that can survive this on her own?! The Selection sure has everything!"

This is the second thing. For some reason, she was put in a male-dominated location. Lily does not want to look at the source of the voices. They will just make her sick, anyway.

She steps onto the ground, heading towards the location the seed inside is telling her to. Ignoring them is the best thing she should be doing since time is of the essence.

"Hey lady! Do you need help?"

"Of course she needs help you stupid mutt! She's a woman! The Gods and Goddesses gave women their appearance and the ability to give birth, so they always need assistance! If you want to be famous to the ladies, remember that!"

"Of course, big bro! Then shall we come down there to help her?"

"What are we waiting for? After that, we can ask her to join us, maybe having some romantic development, too."

*Twitches*

Lily clutches the hilt of her sword tightly. She is about to let loose.

She did not want to waste time. She has been doing that too much already.

Yet these assholes just can not let her be.
