Amon, The Legendary Overlord
chapter-249

The next morning, Amon came across Ariel at the entrance of the camp. As she turned to face him, Amon couldn't help but notice the delicate blush that tinged her normally pale cheeks. The contrast enhanced the captivating glow of her golden eyes, making them even more mesmerizing. Her smile, usually carefree, carried a hint of mischief, adding an extra charm to her.

"Did you sleep well?" she asked. Her seductive voice caused Amon's heart to beat a little faster.

Amon took in Ariel's appearance, admiring how the morning light played with her silver, curly hair. The intense cold seemed to have faded the silver to an almost white shade, giving her an ethereal look. She was dressed for the weather, wearing a thick and soft wool coat that gracefully hugged her slender figure. A chunky knit scarf was wrapped around her neck, almost covering the freckle near her left eye. Fur gloves and heavy boots completed her outfit, but to Amon, nothing could diminish Ariel's natural beauty.

"Uh, yes, I slept very well, and you?" Amon asked, raising an eyebrow, trying to disguise the impact Ariel's presence had on him.

Ariel appeared surprised by Amon's expressiveness, but quickly regained her composure and replied, "I slept well too."

The snow continued to fall gently, although with less intensity than before. Snowflakes danced through the air, covering the ground and trees with a fresh, white layer that reflected the first rays of the morning sun, creating a kaleidoscope of glistening sparkles. The world around them seemed to be blanketed in silence, with only the occasional whisper of the wind and the soft crunch of snow beneath their feet. The atmosphere between Amon and Ariel exuded a gentle tranquility, a quietude that seemed to harmonize with the serenity of the falling snow. They conversed in whispers, their words blending with the muffled sound of the wind and the slow descent of snowflakes.

However, this tranquility was disrupted by Barbara's arrival. The young woman approached, leaving a trail of freshly imprinted footsteps in the snow. A friendly smile lit up her face, like a ray of sunshine had broken through the winter monotony, bringing with it a renewed energy.

Amon observed Barbara approaching. She was dressed in winter attire that accentuated her slender figure. A thick fur coat and leather gloves protected her from the cold, while her boots left deep imprints in the fresh snow. Her red hair was styled in two braids that swayed gently with each step she took.

"Good morning, you two~" Barbara greeted, displaying a radiant smile. She walked up to Amon and, placing her hands on his left shoulder, rose up on her tiptoes. With an audacity that seemed inherent to her, her soft, sweet lips met Amon's in a kiss.

Amon, initially surprised, didn't resist. What should have been a brief and chaste kiss turned into a deep and passionate French kiss.

After almost a minute, Barbara pulled away, a satisfied smile adorning her face. She delicately ran her tongue over her now lightly stained lips, tinged with a soft red from the kiss. Her gaze was provocative, filled with an almost palpable seduction.

Witnessing the scene, Ariel rolled her eyes but quickly laughed at herself, acknowledging her childish attitude. She had never cared so much before, but recently she found herself easily shaken, especially when it came to Amon's intimacy with other girls. These situations stirred up emotions she would rather not feel.

It didn't take long for the twins, Maisa, and Julia to also arrive. With their evident similarities but distinct personalities, they brought renewed energy with them.

Julia, the more elegant of the twins, gilded gracefully through the snow. Her long, silky, dark purple hair cascaded in perfect curls, gently swaying to the rhythm of her steps. Despite the cold, Julia's attire was impeccable. She wore a pale blue fur coat that complemented the color of her eyes, enhancing her delicate appearance. The purple hue of Julia's eyes seemed even more mesmerizing in the morning sun, shining with contagious enthusiasm.

Beside her, Maisa exuded more vibrant energy. Her long, voluminous dark blue hair, typically tied up in a high ponytail, flowed freely in the wind. Maisa had a unique style, even in the intense cold. She wore a vibrant red coat that contrasted with the surrounding snow, highlighting her vivacious personality. Her purple eyes gleamed with the morning light, adding to her striking appearance.

Approaching Amon, each of them leaned in to give him a good morning kiss. Julia, the more reserved one, placed a light and quick kiss on his cheek. Meanwhile, Maisa, bold as always, opted for a longer kiss on his other cheek. Both greeted him with a cheerful "Good morning", filling the air with a joyful and vibrant vibe that contrasted with the serene winter surroundings.

At that moment, Ariel turned to the twins and asked, "Is Mabel still asleep?" The two twins simultaneously nodded in response.

Maisa, with a pensive expression, said, "I believe she won't take long to wake up, but considering how much she worked yesterday, we thought it wouldn't be appropriate to disturb her."

Barbara, understanding the situation, nodded. She had done her best to move silently and avoid disturbing Mabel's rest.

Ariel also understood perfectly. Mabel had really exerted herself for them the previous day.

It was then that Julia turned to Amon and asked, "Amon, have you decided which direction we should head?"

Amon, as the leader of the group, was naturally the first person to be consulted on such matters.

Determined, Amon said, "Let's go in the direction where the beast appeared yesterday. If we're lucky, we'll find another one of the same kind."

Initially, the girls seemed to want to oppose the idea, but as they remembered Amon's strength and the fact that he had advanced to Level 2, their doubts were dispelled.

Just as they were about to agree with Amon's plan and ask what the next skill he needed to improve was, Mabel appeared. She emerged discreetly, without drawing much attention to herself. Mabel was dressed for the cold, with a white lab coat covering the rest of her clothes, giving her a casual and uncomplicated appearance. Her long brown hair was loose, dancing in the chilly breeze. Though simple, she still exuded an aura of elegance and grace.

"Good morning, everyone," greeted Mabel with a certain reserve, although a small, elegant smile illuminated her face.

Amon and the girls returned the greeting, and quickly they went back inside the camp to have breakfast before starting the day's journey. Sitting together around the makeshift table, they engaged in lively discussion while savoring their meal. The main topic of conversation was the beast that had attacked them the previous day.

They reminisce about how Mabel, with the help of the other girls, managed to bring down the creature. They discussed its appearance, behavior, and the threat it posed, attempting to draw useful lessons from that experience.

Then, Amon shared his plan to find another similar beast. He explained his reasons and strategy, stating that encountering another one of these creatures could provide them with more opportunities for evolution. Although the idea seemed dangerous, everyone agreed that under Amon's leadership and with the strength they had demonstrated when facing the previous beast, they had a good chance of success and very little likelihood of failure.
