I Enslaved The Goddess Who Summoned Me

Chapter 38  Amelia After becoming a Woman

I opened my eyes tiredly, the first thing I saw was the brilliant blue sky stretching endlessly above me. It was clear and serenely peaceful, an agreeable canvas to just watch in silence.

A warm breeze fluttered gently through my white hair as I slowly raised my body. A towel was strategically covering my lower parts, offering a semblance of modesty. Looking to my side, I noticed that Amelia wasn't lying next to me anymore. My gaze wandered toward the nearby pond, and there she was.

Amelia seemed to have taken a quick, refreshing bath in the pond; her dark hair was still wet, glistening in the sunlight. She was in the process of putting back her bra, hiding her beautiful, ample breasts before slipping into her pants. When she noticed I was awake, a slight blush spread across her cheeks, adding a touch of innocence to her otherwise composed demeanor.

The sight of her topless figure, with the bra barely concealing her voluptuous breasts, was quite the captivating sight, honestly. But she quickly grabbed her shirt and slipped it on, much to my disappointment.

I rose up on my feet and walked leisurely toward the pond. "What time is it, teacher?" I asked, my voice slightly hoarse.

"It should be already afternoon, Nathan. We should hurry up. Everyone should have already started going back," Amelia said, her tone a mix of urgency and lingering shyness.

"Right," I nodded, and with a swift motion, I plunged into the cool, refreshing water of the pond and began washing my body.

It seemed I had only slept for a few precious hours, but those few hours had felt like an eternity wrapped in a dream. The soothing water cascaded over my skin, washing away the remnants of our earlier passion and the fatigue that clung to my muscles. The clear pond, the gentle breeze, and the sight of Amelia's bashful smile created a moment I would treasure forever.

After cleaning myself with a fresh towel, I put on my clothes. I decided to leave my light armor behind—it didn't suit me well, so I opted for just wearing a shirt.

"You should wear it, Nathan…" Amelia suggested, concern evident in her eyes.

"Don't worry, we're going back anyway," I reassured her, giving her a gentle kiss on the lips.

Amelia blushed and averted her gaze. "N..Nathan, about what happened…"

"Yes, you want to keep it a secret from the others, right?" I anticipated her thoughts.

Amelia nodded, her expression conflicted. "I... I feel ashamed, but it happened, and I don't want my students to know… at least not now. I'm still their teacher, and I don't want to break the cohesion we have. We have enough problems as it is," she said, gripping her arm bitterly.

"You shouldn't be ashamed of anything, Amelia," I said, gently embracing her. "Of course, you are our teacher, but you deserve all the happiness in the world. You shouldn't bear the burden alone. At least lean on me if you need some comfort," I said sincerely. This was a woman I truly loved.

I also didn't want my classmates to learn what had happened between us. It was too soon, and like she said, we had enough issues to deal with. Moreover, since the moment I had slept with Khione and killed Oscar, I had made a lot of dangerous enemies. If my relationship with Amelia was discovered, it could put her in danger.

"Nathan…" Amelia murmured, embracing me back.

Since I had grown taller and stronger, I could easily wrap my arm around her waist. With a smirk, I groped her ass.

"Ahn! Hey!" Amelia playfully punched my shoulder.

"Sorry, you're just too hot," I laughed.

"W..we should get going," Amelia stuttered with a blushing face.

"Yes, let's go," I agreed.

Amelia gathered her belongings and started walking, albeit awkwardly. I realized that being deflowered and not exactly gently had left her in some discomfort.

"Are you okay? Do you need help?" I asked, concerned.

"No, it's okay... I just need to get used to it," Amelia responded with a smile, though her steps remained unsteady.

If anyone asked questions, I'd just say we encountered a strong monster and she got injured. It was a believable enough story.

"You know where to go, teacher?" I asked, a bit surprised.

"Hmm, a little yes, I remembered a few places along the way," she said. Typical of her to be so prepared and observant.

I was just about to ask Khione to guide us out of here, but it seemed unnecessary.

Suddenly, Amelia stopped in her tracks.

"Teacher?" I called out.

"Do you hear that, Nathan?" She asked, her expression serious.

"Hear what?" I was genuinely confused.

"It sounds like a scream..." Amelia looked around, trying to pinpoint the source.

"I don't hear anything, Amelia," I lied, shaking my head.

The truth was, my enhanced senses had picked up the screams of boys and girls—likely my classmates—some distance away. Judging by their screams, they had probably encountered a dangerous monster. But I chose to ignore it until now.

In all honesty, I didn't care about my classmates, except for the few I had particular interest in. And I hadn't heard their voices among the screams.

"Maybe it's just your imagination," I suggested, trying to dismiss her concern.

"No, I'm sure I heard something," Amelia insisted, her eyes scanning the surroundings with heightened alertness.

I sighed inwardly. "Alright, let's check it out then," I conceded, knowing that Amelia wouldn't let it go otherwise.

°°°°°°

A few kilometers away, deep within the dense, shadowy forest, an intense and terrifying scene was unfolding.

"W-what is this?!" one of the girls exclaimed, her voice trembling with fear.

"Our attacks aren't working!" another cried out in panic, her voice echoing through the trees.

"We can't defeat it! We need to get out of here!" a boy shouted, his face pale and his eyes wide with terror.

"Hurry, run!" another boy urged, his voice cracking under the strain of fear.

"RUNNN!!!" the final girl screamed, her voice filled with desperation.

The group, consisting of two girls and three boys, had stumbled upon a formidable and dangerous beast. The monster before them was a terrifying sight to behold—a giant bear with razor-sharp claws and teeth that gleamed menacingly in the dim light filtering through the forest canopy.

As Heroes, all five of them possessed the ability to see the levels of the monsters they encountered. This was a crucial skill that allowed them to gauge the strength of their foes and strategize accordingly. However, this ability only extended to monsters, unlike Nathan's universal eye which could discern levels of any being. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

When they tried to assess the level of the monstrous bear, they failed. Their attempts to read its level yielded nothing, a clear and ominous indication that the beast was far stronger than they were. The realization struck them with the force of a sledgehammer—this creature was beyond their capabilities.

The bear was a Forest Enraged Bear, a creature of immense power and ferocity. Its level, 82, was far beyond anything the group could handle. The sheer presence of such a high-level monster was enough to send chills down their spines and compel them to flee for their lives.

Unfortunately, the monster had already noticed them, and there was no stopping it now. With terrifying speed, the bear lunged toward the boy at the back of the group, its deadly claws outstretched, ready to tear him apart.

"ROY!!!!" his friend screamed, glancing back in horror at the impending doom.

But then, in the blink of an eye...

Fwish!

A figure appeared out of nowhere, moving with incredible speed. She sliced through the bear's sharp claws effortlessly with her gleaming sword. The severed claws fell to the ground as she landed gracefully, her presence exuding both power and calm.

She had long, flowing black hair tied into a ponytail, revealing her white slender neck. Her sharp blue eyes glinted with determination as she faced the monstrous bear. She was a wearing a light armour accentuating well her proportions and her great beauty.

"S...Sienna!!" Roy shouted in disbelief and relief, recognizing their savior immediately.
