Tale of a Hedonistic wizard
Chapter 94 - 94: Giant Python's ambush

Jaegar coughed suddenly and looked taken aback by the unexpected proposal.

"Do you even know what you are saying?"

"Yes, I know what I am saying. A powerful warlock like yourself can breed a strong bloodline. It would be a great honor for my family to have a descendant with your abilities." The old man's eyes sparkled with excitement as he spoke.

Jaegar grumbled. "Just how old are you?"

"Isn't it natural for the strong ones to forge such alliances?"

Jaegar exhaled heavily and shook his head, thinking that the old man might be very much old, just like he said, centuries old.

"I will find you once I make the necessary arrangements."

"Yeah, we will see about that," he said, secretly thinking that day should never happen. The idea of having children made him terrified, maybe in the future, but definitely not now. And he hadn't said anything about where he lived, thinking it might be best that way.

Finally, they arrived at their destination—a place bathed in an otherworldly crimson glow. Before him lay a mesmerizing scene—a serene lake, its waters a rich and vibrant red, reflecting the hues of the unknown forces that imbued it.

But it wasn't the lake alone that commanded Jaegar's attention; rather, it was the figure standing at its edge, as if a part of the enchanting tableau.

A woman, her form radiant and captivating, stood there. Her nakedness was a testament to the untamed power that surrounded her, and her beauty was ethereal, a living embodiment of myth.

Her long hair cascaded like a waterfall of obsidian silk, framing a face that held an enigmatic aura. Her eyes, like pools of liquid silver, glinted with a mysterious light.

As she emerged from the red lake, droplets of crimson water clung to her skin, accentuating her every curve. Her bosom, sculpted and firm, held an allure that transcended mere physicality. Her thighs, strong and graceful, spoke of a strength born from more than just the physical realm.

In that moment, she was like an alluring beauty, a figure of both desire and reverence.

Transfixed by her presence, Jaegar felt a strange sense of awe.

The old man's voice cut through the air; he hadn't seen the woman yet. "Approach, Jaegar," he intoned. "This is the Dragon's Lagoon, a source of an elixir that can awaken dormant energy within you, unlocking potential you have yet to fathom."

Startled by the sudden intrusion, the woman swiftly turned, her senses on high alert. In a rush, she adorned herself, slipping into a leather pants, a tunic, and a flowing coat that concealed her earlier state of undress.

Her tone was sharp, a mix of indignation and frustration, as she addressed the unexpected guests: "Shameless mutt, what the fuck are you staring at?"

Jaegar's lips curled into a soft chuckle, his eyes dancing with amusement as he retorted, "The scenery was so beautiful, I couldn't avert my gaze."

The old man then noticed her, let out a chuckle, and said, "Oh, such a playful young man."

Jaegar turned to him, furrowing his brows.

She heard the old man and said, "What did you say, you old ghost?"

She wasn't afraid or startled to see the old man's form, and her anger seemed to have reached its peak.

As another figure approached, it was Ivar who emerged into the scene on his white wolf. His eyes fell on Jaegar and the woman, curiosity and inquiry evident in his expression.

Yet, he remained unaware of the presence of the old man, whose form was hidden from plain sight.

Ivar's voice carried a question as he directed it at Jaegar, "What are you doing here?"

The woman, still aflame with anger, didn't hold back her disdain. Her words dripped with venom as she scorned, "Great, another piece of trash arrives. Is he your friend? Are you all peeping here, you shameless idiots?" Her curses flowed relentlessly, directed at both Jaegar and Ivar.

Ivar's brows furrowed in response to her harsh words. He turned his attention fully to the woman, a mixture of offense and confusion on his face. Unperturbed by her wrath, he retorted, "Who are you calling shameless?"

In a fleeting moment, the presence of the old ghost vanished, leaving behind an echoing promise, "We will meet again, young Jaegar." The words lingered before fading into the air.

As the enigmatic encounter concluded, a new figure emerged into the scene, capturing the attention of all present. A massive python, its sleek form sinuous and imposing, manifested within their midst. Its scales glistened under the dappled light, creating a mesmerizing display of color that shifted and shimmered with each languid movement.

The atmosphere seemed to hold its breath, the tension was palpable as the colossal snake coiled and uncoiled, its eyes fixated upon the trio.

Jaegar was standing near the woman, and Ivar was at a distance.

As the colossal python's gaze bore down upon them, a charged silence hung in the air, a tension that seemed to reverberate with the energy of impending conflict. With a sudden, lightning-swift movement, the python's powerful coils launched it forward, its enormous body propelling it toward Jaegar and the woman with astonishing speed.

Jaegar's instincts kicked in, and he swiftly channeled his magical energy, forming a protective shield around himself and the woman.

The python's massive jaws snapped shut just inches away from them, its venomous fangs gleaming in the sunlight. Jaegar could feel the immense strength of the python as it thrashed against his shield, its desperation evident in its relentless assault.

The woman, her initial anger momentarily forgotten in the face of this new threat, drew her weapon—a gleaming, intricately crafted blade—and Ivar, his expression a mixture of determination and resolve, unsheathed a short blade, steel glinting in the dappled light.

The python's next strike was relentless. Its massive head lunged forward, jaws snapping with a deafening sound, and its fangs gleamed, dripping with venom. Jaegar's shield held firm against the impact, but the force of the strike rippled through the barrier, sending shockwaves that jarred the duo.
