Chapter 385 Chapter 384: Preparation for the Battle

When Zach opened his eyes, he was crushed by all the sides. Aria was crushing him from the right, Victoria from the left, and Ninia was on top of him with his snake still inside her dripping cave.

"This is heaven…" he muttered.

Then, he closed his eyes again and fell asleep. Yes, it was morning, and Zach humped the girls all night and just fell asleep.

He had extracted enough essence to make eight hundred more pills and placed them on the table beside the bed. He planned to make the pills right away, but he was too exhausted to even move his finger.

When he woke up, the girls weren't in bed or in the room.

"..." He slowly sat up and leaned on the fall to process his thoughts on what had happened before he fell asleep.

"Last night was amazing, dammit. I feel so fucking refreshed right now that I can go fight the realm boss right away!"

He got out of the bed and stretched his hands in the air. After warming up his body, he let out a yawn and covered his mouth so he wouldn't get lazy.

"Now, time to create the pills. I wonder if Aria would help me if I ask her."

He turned to the table, only to see there was no box.

"...did Aria take it?"

He wore his clothes and left Ninia's chamber in a hurry.

"Oh, Master Zach, you are awake!" Noah was the first one to greet him.

"Yeah." Zach glanced around and asked, "Where are the girls?"

"Umm… I don't know. Elina wasn't in her room either."

'Did Aria perhaps make the pills and go to distribute them to the NPCs? But there is no way she can make 800 pills in…'

Zach looked at the time and noticed 4 hours had passed since he had fallen asleep.

'Let's say she was able to make the pills at the same speed as me. That's 120 pills per hour. Even if she woke up soon after I fell asleep, she would have only made like 480 pills.'

Zach messaged Aria and Victoria, and they soon replied with: [We will be back in half an hour with breakfast.]

"I guess I will take a bath in the meantime." Zach patted Noah's head as he walked past him and made his way to the bathroom.

After taking a bath, he sat with Noah and waited for the girls to return.

'Come to think of it, the girls were moaning last night. I wonder if their moans were audible in the last room. I don't really care, but Noah is a kid.'

Zach turned to Noah and asked, "What level are you now?"

"I reached level 20 when I went to the dungeon yesterday, and Elina, I think, reached 24," Noah responded instantly.

"That's quite a jump, honestly. Reaching levels 20 and twenty by clearing just the first 25 floors of the dungeon is actually great. I didn't know they gave that much EXP," Zach mumbled.

"Umm…" Noah gulped down anxiously and said, "We cleared up to floor 50 yesterday."

"What?" Zach raised his brow in confusion and said, "But you guys said you only cleared the first twenty-five floors…"

"Well…" Noah averted his gaze and didn't finish his sentence.

"What is it? You have been acting kind of strange. Are you hiding something from me?" Zach asked with a little annoyed look on his face.

"You have been asleep for two days straight…."

"What?!" Zach exclaimed in astonishment and immediately opened his menu to check the date.

After confirming what Noah said, Zach let out a big sigh and muttered, "I have been asleep for 48 hours. No wonder I felt so refreshed."

"Yes," Aria replied from behind.

"Good… morning…?" Zach greeted the girls awkwardly.

"You have already taken a bath. That's good. Come, let's eat breakfast. We brought you many things," Victoria said with a gentle smile on her face.

"You must be hungry after sleeping straight for two days," Ninia added calmly.

Everyone ate breakfast, while Zach was even more confused than before.

"I don't understand…" he said while chewing. "I know I was exhausted, but to sleep for two days is… refreshing. Why didn't you girls wake me up?"

"We tried to, but you wouldn't open your eyes," Victoria responded. She then pointed her gaze at Ninia and said, "Ninia was freaking out. She thought you had entered into another slumber or something."

"I would think the same," Aria quipped.

"Let's just say I had a really nice sleep. I needed a rest after my body was fucked up inside and outside by the demonification. I should have slept instead of overworking myself," he sighed.

"That's not your fault, my Lord. It's because the NPCs made a ruckus that you have to stay away for the entire night," she said the last part with a flushed face after remembering the night of the holy ritual.

"Oh, yeah." Zach turned to Aria and asked, "I guess that's already taken care of?"

Aria nodded and said, "Yes. Although making that many essence pills took me a while, I took my sweet time making them. But some of the essences were wasted as it started losing its effect after some time."

"As long as it's done." Zach pondered for a few seconds before saying, "So now everything is taken care of, right? Or am I forgetting something?"

"I forgot to mention that Ninia ate quite a few pills while I was making them," Aria added.

"But its smell was so tempting that I couldn't—!" Ninia stopped after Zach pointed his gaze at Elina and Noah.

'Seriously, I went out of my way to ask them without involving any words, and these girls are just…'

"I will leave for my battle with the realm boss then."

"We will come," Victoria said.

"Yeah," Aria nodded.

"No. I want to go alone."

"Do you… not want our help…?" Victoria asked hesitantly.

"It's not like that. But… the boss is most probably an Angel. I don't want you girls to get involved in this stuff. Especially you, Aria. If the gods learn that you are still alive, they can try to pull some tricks."

"You are right. Maybe it's for the good that I can't use my divine powers. That way, they can't sense my presence."
