After giving the instructions to Aria about how to act around Amelia we continued our way while holding hands to not separate from each other.


    We walked and walked in hiding whenever we saw a beast even if it was weaker than us. There was no need to kill it to attract attention while there was a useless burden on me, which was Amelia, who was sleeping soundly on my shoulder.


    After who knows how long, we found a cave. The cave''s opening was about 5 meters tall and 4 meters wide. Its inside was naturally darker than the forest but it was still good enough for us to test or stay here.


    We entered the cave and I chanted ice wall magic to block the entrance of the cave.


    My head wasn''t still stable, so casting chantless magic was harder. That is why I used chant.


    And I knew that monsters had a chance toe here because of the magic I cast but I didn''t think about it too much. They would probably go to the ce my blood spilled instead ofing here for just a measly amount of mana.


    Anyway, I took out a magicalntern from my storage artifact and lit it to see the inside of the cave.


    The inside of the cave was mostly normal other than the w marks on the walls. Deep w marks that covered the entire cave.


    ''Hmm… I think we are in the nest of mana fiend with strong ws.'' I thought and got near one of the w marks.


    I touched around the marks and inside of it and rubbed my fingers to each other.


    ''These marks have signs of corrosion. Does this mana fiend''s ws have corrosive characteristics?'' I thought and nodded.


    ''Should we get out of here and find somewhere else or should I just stay here? Teleporting back to the necromancer''s house is close to impossible as the mana is more denser in this ce, it will probably mess with the teleportation.''


    I decided to stay here for the time being as my headache got stronger after entering this cave.


    I knew that something dangerous was in her but I didn''t care too much because that dangerous thing didn''te here even after we entered its nest. So I thought that it must be sleeping or didn''t care about the intruders, which was us.


    I went back to Aria''s side and covered the floor with nkets. Then Iy on it and pointed to Amelia, which Aria understood my intention immediately and left Amelia on the rocky ground softly without waking her up.


    After that she came to my side with excited steps and sat down on my side, extending her beautiful and slender but still strong legs.


    "Massage my head and try to lessen my suffering as you have said." I said and put my head on her thighs and closed my eyes.


    Aria began to massage my head slowly, and gently as if I was some sort of ss that she could break with a small mistake. She didn''t even let a sound and didn''t ask any questions, just did her job.


    Though this didn''t lessen my pain as she said but it made it easier to endure as she made my body morefortable with herfortable thighs and soft, delicate hands.


    But this didn''tst long as Amelia began to wake up with incoherent mumbles in her sleep.


    "Start your acting, don''t mess this up," I said coldly to Aria.


    Upon hearing my words, Aria''s back got straight as if she was nervous and scared and her hands began to tremble slightly.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "That is good keep being like this," I whispered and closed my eyes, waiting for Amelia to wake up fully.


    Fortunately, my wait was short-lived as Amelia woke up and got up to her feet immediately.


    When she saw meying like this and Aria''s awkward posture, she opened her mouth but no words came out.


    "Sit down and don''t make too much noise."


    My cold, cruel whisper reached Amelia''s ears, making her shiver with goosebumps covering her.


    "We are in one of the forbidden zones and I don''t want to protect you every single thing. So listen to my words properly and do whatever I say to you."


    Her face paled considerably after hearing me and understanding the meaning of my words. She quickly sat on the cold ground even withouting to the nkets I prepared and put her trembling hands on her knees.


    "There is a mana fiend in here that caused theserge marks. So, stabilize yourself ande to my side."


    Amelia''s face turned pale as paper as thest bit of blood drained away from her beautiful face.


    She got up from the ground and she came to my side with hesitant steps. Then she sat down on the corner of the nket that is most far from me while looking at me and Aria.


    "Do you remember the characteristics of the forbidden zones and their names?"


    Amelia nodded her head quickly without making me wait for a second.


    After that, I exined this eerie dark forest to Amelia to learn the name of this ce as it might have helped me to get out of this ce.


    Amelia opened her mouth hesitantly as she was still scared of me. For some reason, she was shaking more than before, like a broken vibrator.


    Then she said with a very quiet and shaky tone:


    "Uhm… I think I know where we are."


    I sighed out loud enough for Amelia to hear and said with a slightly warm tone than before:


    "I know you are scared of me but I need to be like this to ensure our safety. So, don''t make me more mad before I do something wrong, and speak clearly."


    Amelia brought her hand to her neck, covering it from me as if she could protect herself with her weak hands, and spoke more quietly than before.


    "Titan forest. We are in the Titan forest."
