They arrived when the Ferrol Annual Market Fair was already over, but there were still plenty of territories that stayed. For the civilians, this meant an even bigger market than expected, for the guards, it meant more parties to investigate.
They had been tasked to go on rotation to investigate these territories, as they had higher chances of going after the Terran territories than others.
For their team, half would always remain in the town to roam around and investigate and monitor the happenings. When it happened, Helios was making his rounds after dark.
Ferrol Town was a rich town. While it didn't buy a lighthouse, there was still a relatively high number of street lights, especially in the main parts of the town. Because of this, there were areas that had decent activity.
Helios was, unfortunately, not assigned to these places. He pulled the short stick and was assigned to the less dense areas with minimal lighting. Fortunately, it was nothing Helios couldn't handle.
Helios and Hugo actually came from a line of modern mercenaries. Unlike most though, they (mostly) worked within the confines of the law.
Back then, they were often thrown into the dark forest as training. This was really nothing.
He looked around to find any suspicious activities. While the rules forbid him from entering inside the buildings, he could still record who met who, where this and that went, et cetera.
Sometime in the middle of the night though, he heard of a subtle commotion.
His eyebrows rose as he immediately went in that direction, jumping from roof to roof until he finally got to the source of the noise.
There, he saw a woman being dragged, inebriated with something, and his heroic side couldn't help but want to help.
Helios took out one of his knives from space, throwing it to the beast with accuracy, hitting it right in the eye.
ROAR!
It roared, jumping up due to the pain of the sting. It didn't really embed deeply, but it definitely shocked it.
Its roar successfully distracted everyone, and the tanned man took full advantage of it. Next, Helios sent another knife to one of the men and he had no choice but to let the girl go.
"AH!"
"What?" His companion asked, but immediately yelled when he was also stabbed. "AH! WHO?!"
They weren't able to pursue it though because the beast had already gone berserk. It wasn't even in that much pain, but this reaction was a testament to the quality of the monster and the quality of its taming.
Helios took advantage of the dark. Wearing dark-colored clothing every guard had, he jumped down to ground level to carry the woman.
He pulled her in, covering her sufficiently in its cover. He sprinted for a few seconds until they were sufficiently far, carrying her to the nearest inn.
He paid for the room and carried her upstairs. He was planning to leave her there to let her pass the night on her own.
However, when he laid her there, he couldn't help but stare. He ended up hovering above her, quite inappropriately, though he didn't really notice this for now as his attention was fixed on the woman underneath him.
She was very beautiful. She had a pretty face, and pale skin—very smooth compared to other Aborigine women—and she had lustrous sand-colored hair that reflected shimmeringly in the little light they had. Her face was completely flushed and she was squirming, her eyebrows were furrowed as if she was in pain.
"Hot…" she mumbled, pushing out the robe, trying to open up her dress. Helios immediately looked away, knowing the girl was doused with aphrodisiac of sorts.
Then he felt mad when he remembered how he found her. His body felt hot in anger when he imagined whatever those men were trying to do to her. Scum!
However, he wasn't able to dwell on his anger as he was pulled down the bed. The next thing he knew, he was lying upwards and staring at the beautiful woman who straddled him on the stomach.
Her pale hand touched his face, contrasting with his tanned skin.
He gulped and held her cheek. However, he knew she was on something and he couldn't do anything to her in good conscience.
He pursed his lips as she caressed his cheek, her hand slowly crawling to his neck and to his clothed chest.
He gulped and held her waist, aiming to get her off of him so he could actually think of a proper way to help her.
"No!" She yelled and he realized he couldn't move at all!
"..."
He was not even a level 10. This girl had to be at least 5 levels higher than him.
However, despite this, it wasn't impossible for him to push her out if he used enough strength and technique.
However, when she rubbed herself on his hardening heat, over and over, Helios found his self-control (and self-respect, for that matter) shattered.
She just rubbed on him, her face flushed in lust and need, "hot…" she mumbled, "Help me."
It was the last straw that broke his control and he immediately pulled her over to meet her lips. He groped her breast and lifted her clothing, taking them off bit by bit while he was taking her to a higher realm with his lips.
"Ohh~" She mewled and soon they were both completely naked. Helios was already gasping in tension. His tanned hand groped all over her supple body as she lined her slit against his shaft.
Then she sat down without warning, and their bodies arched as they felt each other's heat.
She cried a bit, and he felt a barrier broken, but she kept riding him like no tomorrow. It went wilder when the pain subsided and it had become mostly pleasure.
That was just the start of a passion-filled night between strangers, and Helios was finally enlightened about the wanders of sex.
Like his uncle, he was very very choosy, and this was also his first time doing the deed all the way. However, he knew that this was easily the best night of his life.
Sadly, when he woke up, she was gone, and he wouldn't see her again for a long time.
