Scenario #3 - Plant And Survive! (VI)

Looking at Alaine who seemed to return to normal, Lucius felt a bit nauseous.

'Does she have some kind of split personality or something?'

"Mhm...," her eyes sharpened which caused Lucius to take a step back, however, Alaine suddenly raised her hand.

"Clean." 

A faint greenish aura expanded through her body and soon enough, her body was completely cleaned; all of the remains of Lucius' sperm had completely disappeared.

Then, she started walking away, just like nothing had happened.

"Agh... Bleagh...!" A mouthful of blood was spilled into the ground.

Lucius held his chest firmly as he felt his meridians overflowing with mana, with everything just about to burst.

"Huff... aah...!"

[Circulation]

He instantly focused on circulating the mana around his body and equally dividing it into all of his organs.

In this fight against Alaine, he focused on spreading the mana to his meridians to be able to use magic at the fastest time possible, all to deal with Alaine.

But because Alaine decided to stop attacking and used another way of an "attack", he still retained the mana on his meridians and didn't have enough time to circulate the mana around his entire body.

[Lucius Sirius Circulation (Level 1) ———> Level 2!]

[Your mana has been increased by 10 points.]

"Haaah—!"

"Fuck... thank god I have the 'Master of Mana' skill... If I didn't have it... my body would have exploded due to the overflow of mana." he sighed in relief.

Getting up from the ground, Lucius started going back to his zombie-surviving base.

'I need to find a way to deal with Alaine. She's far too overpowered...'

After all, Lucius has been slowed down a lot because of Alaine, and she really was getting in the way of his plans too damn much.

He knew it was because of his own actions, after all, she only acted like that because she was jealous of Jane.

Or because she was too possessive of him.

Either way,

'It seems that I'd better stop messing around with girls for a while... and should start focusing on increasing my power even faster.'

"It should be enough to defeat the remaining rounds..."

"Lucius!" Suddenly, a voice called out to him.

He looked forward, and in the distance, he found both Jane and Bianca waving their hands at him.

However, this time, Lucius had another plan in mind. His 'playtime' would be diminished by a lot due to his new plans.

"Start the 8th wave."

[Starting the 8th wave...]

"Hah...?! Lucius, why are you starting the next wave already!?" Jane quickly asked as she hurriedly got back into her position.

After all, they didn't have the time to plant even more plans!

"Don't worry about it..." he replied as he turned back to the incoming wave of zombies.

But before he could do anything, he felt something tugging his sleeves.

"Papa..." she looked at him with teary eyes, knowing that there was something wrong with him.

Looking at her, Lucius felt annoyed, however, he simply smiled and then brushed a few hair strands of hers.

"Don't worry about it. I'm just a little stressed, now, go back to your position, alright?"

To his words, Bianca bit her lips, and before she could say anything, Lucius simply started running towards the incoming horde.

"Huff—!"

— Freezee...!

A huge amount of ice particles gathered around his body, and quickly started forming into a desperatedly huge spear.

He quickly threw it into the incoming horde and then as the spear reached the spot where the horde was, he gripped his right fist.

— CRACK!

The giant spear broke, creating a huge cold that spreaded through the entire area, turning everything into ice!

"Hah..."

[8th wave completed...!]

[Would you like to begin the 9th wave?]

"Yes."

A few months later...

During all these times, Lucius focused on fighting against the waves of zombies. And each time, they got stronger and stronger.

Just after the tenth wave, he already couldn't defeat them on his own, so he started buying plants once again.

After the twentieth wave, he changed his plans and modified the entire place they were in. He spent thousands and thousands of coins, and created a 'perfect base'.

However, by the 88th wave, that perfect base was completely destroyed. Everything was torn into ashes, the plants, the steel walls they had made, and even their water fountain.

They basically had lost everything.

Well... it didn't matter, because Lucius was going to stop. He was now level 72 after dealing with so many monsters, and he had gotten a huge increase in his status.

So, he decided to deal with the remaining waves himself, which, he held on to until the 99th wave, which made him reach level 81.

[You have completed the 99th wave!]

[Would you like to begin the 100th and final wave?]

"No..."

—Huff!

Lucius fell to the ground, clutching his chest as if his heart would explode at any moment.

He was completely disorganized in appearance, his clothes totally scattered with open wounds leaving a trail of blood that flowed until they fell to the ground.

"P-papa... I'm tired...," Bianca rested her head on his chest, trying to wrap her little arms around his body.

Around the 50th wave, Bianca made a big change and suddenly asked Lucius to train her to hunt monsters, which he did.

After all, Bianca had more than the talent to become a strong entity, and now, she also started going to kill zombies with Lucius.

"Hah... I'm glad this wave finally ended, we can finally take a break..." Jane mumbled as she slumped down, putting Lucius' head on her thighs before connecting their foreheads together.

She also had changed a lot and gained a lot of special skills that helped them a lot. One of them worked like a taunt, but it was a 'taunt' in a different way.

Instead, it was "seduction". She would seduce the monster and make the focus on her so Lucius and Bianca could attack.

It was a pretty useful skill that made them reach the 99th wave, if she didn't gain the skill by the 70th wave, maybe they weren't going to reach this far.

"Now... we only have a single wave left," Lucius mumbled, before reaching out to cuddle Bianca in her arms.

"Haahnnn... haaahnnn..."

"Hahah... Bianca fell asleep again..." Jane let out a hearty laugh which made Lucius' lips curve into a small smile.

Before he had thought that he could pass those 100 waves easily, but now, he wasn't so sure if he could pass the last wave.

Besides, from the time that they spent here, maybe the fifth or even the sixth scenario must have already started.

'I guess it was graded from S-SSS difficulty for a reason...' he sighed inwardly.

"Hey... Lucius," Jane called out to him, her fingers stroking his cheeks lightly.

"What is it?" He turned to her and saw the beauty of her face, on which a slight red blush spread across the skin.

"S-since... that day... wh-why did you stop forcing me to do those things?" she immediately averted her gaze after saying those words.

"Why, huh..." he mumbled, breaking into a slight smile. "Let's just say... it was because I thought I needed to value you more."

"H-huh...?"Her eyes widened with his words, after all, since the first time they met, it was the first time he had said such a nice thing to her.

"Don't worry about it. Aren't you glad I'm not forcing you to do those things anymore?" he asked, raising an eyebrow

"T-that... I—"

"—Don't tell me that you actually enjoyed it!" He interjected her, making her face red as a tomato.

"N-no... I—I wou—"

"I'm kidding.. hah. You don't need to explain yourself." he closed his eyes with a small smirk. "Just relax for now, we'll have to prepare for the last wave in a while."

At his words, the blushing Jane swallowed hard before kissing his lips, which Lucius didn't refuse at all.

Instead, he simply reciprocated her kiss, kissing her for several seconds before parting their lips away.

"I love you..." she muttered.

"I know."
