Chapter 177 Wild Forest Wind Trapped Inside Four Walls*

Midnight. Moonlight.

The night's silence grips the town of Keld.

But this silence was only meant to highlight the words spoken by nightcrawlers. The nightly darkness was only meant to be used as a canvas for their colorful nightlife.

A spacious room on the third floor of the Thanked Ferret Inn was waiting for its occupants to arrive. It had a spacious living space with minimal furniture.

The room had night lamps and regular lamps placed in each corner. It had illumination arrays that could provide optimal lighting.

However, at this point, only night lamps were being used. The yooperlite stones that were studded on the ceiling exuded a mellow and easy-on-the-eyes light.

The room also had a very large window. The silvery blue moonlight was making its presence known inside the room through the window. Although it had white curtains, they did little to prevent the moonlight and nightly entering the room.

There were no additional rooms inside. It was just one giant space that covered every type of amenity. The inn was designed to meet the needs of adventurers after all.

Sparks of lightning and a gust of wind appeared inside the empty room all of a sudden. The room was no longer empty.

A young couple had occupied the room. The lady was an elf with very beautiful features. She was wearing a slim-fit, cocktail dress that highlighted her prominent feminine curves. A stark contrast to her usual ranger attire.

Her shoulder-length, dark brown hair cascaded over her attractive face. Her brown eyes sparkled as she looked at her man.

As usual, the young man in front of the elf was dressed in a different outfit than his battlemage armor. He was wearing a full-sleeve, regular-fit shirt. It was white with turquoise stripes that complemented his azure blue eyes and white hair. He was wearing light blue trousers and dark blue shoes.

Eren and Mia were the young couples in question. They had changed into their attires at the start of the evening after entering the town to rest and recuperate from a long journey. However, their clothes were a bit messed up at this point. It was as if someone was trying to get rid of their clothes.

Bzzt. Swoosh. Slam.

Eren slammed the door behind him as he and Mia entered the inn's room. He activated the isolation and security array inside the room he had been granted access to and prevented any mana sense from keeping track of them.

Smooch!

Eren, clad in his lightning mana, approached Mia before kissing her once again. Subconsciously, he was manifesting his elemental attainment around him.

"Aaaah!"

Mia pushed Eren when his lightning tickled her. She chuckled when she saw the uncontrollable passion in his eyes.

"Easy there, tiger. We have all night for us."

Eren took a long breath to calm himself down when Mia's words gave him a reality check. He thought that something was wrong. His elemental attainment shouldn't have manifested around him without his consent. He also felt a bit weird that he let his emotions take over him.

'The Hex spells!'

Eren finally realized that his being a Hexer might have something to do with his agitated state. Since Hex spells and his existence as a Hexer depended upon how strong his will was, it was natural that some of it would leak out and start doing its own thing.

Eren had been subconsciously training to make his will stronger by practicing Hex spells for weeks. As a result, his feelings of violence and passion had also been cranked up.

Eren spacing out on Mia was also because of this phenomenon of being a Hexer.

'Hm. I need to find something to completely control my will and my emotions.'

Eren weighed the repercussions of having a strong will and quickly reached that conclusion. He realized that having a stronger will was only one aspect of being a ranker. The other way was to make it more powerful while controlling it the way he wanted.

"Well, I can only blame you for being so adorable and charming."

Eren said and chuckled. He had reverted to his previous state. Mia smirked after she received Eren's compliment. In the next moment, she disappeared from her position and appeared right in front of Eren.

She reached with both her hands and placed them at the back of Eren's head. Grabbing it by his white hair, she pulled his face towards her before initiating a lip lock.

"Hmmm!"

A moan escaped her mouth when Eren responded to Mia's kiss. He embraced her and put his tongue inside her mouth. He touched Mia's half-exposed back with both his hands as he intensified his liplock.

Mia felt like her entire body was lit on fire because of Eren's sought-after intrusive touch. She felt his hands reach for her butt cheeks and inadvertently jutted them out by changing her stance a bit.

"You… you smell so pleasant, Mia. Like the wild forest wind trapped inside four walls."

Eren broke the liplock and spoke in Mia's ears. He then licked her long elf ears before biting on her earlobes.

"And you… you smell like ozone."

Mia managed to utter a few words as she felt Eren's wide back. She then felt his chest and abs, tracing her fingers on his muscle definitions.

Eren picked Mia up effortlessly before crashing onto the bed near them. Getting on top, he resumed his kiss while allowing his hands to explore the unknown terrain that was Mia's body.

A feeling of ecstasy and passion gripped Mia. Her body wanted more and even more of Eren. She satiated those cravings by latching onto him with her arms around his neck and her legs wrapped around his waist.

Eren looked into the elf's eyes and smirked. In the next moment, he controlled his elemental manifestation and touched her cocktail dress with his fire-coated hands.

In the next moment, Mia's dress spontaneously burst into thin air. Even her innerwear was not prone to the fire-element haze Eren had created at the moment.
