Amon, The Legendary Overlord-Novel

Barbara blushed a little with joy. She was happy to be of assistance. She then started creating the spell.

At the entrance to the cave, flames isolated the place. The other girls were initially scared but soon realized that this was part of the spell. Even the temperature, although it was rising a bit, was still acceptable.

When the isolation spell was done, Amon even added one he'd learned before to hide the smell and then removed the blood fruit.

The moment it was taken out, the seductive scent of the fruit spread. Even for Amon and the girls it smelled good, like a succulent barbecue made from prime beef.

_ _

[Item]: Blood Fruit.

[Grade]: Nearly Level 2

[Quality]: Good.

[Warning]: Useful for humans, but it is recommended to be eaten in pieces, as it has high concentration of pure genetic energy. Eating too much can cause problems in your genetics.

[Note]: If used as a medicinal bath, the effect will be even greater.

"Mmm..." Unfortunately for him, there was no way to use it as a medicinal bath right now. Despite being able to use the fire generated by Barbara, he didn't have any container to use as a cauldron.

"What is it, Amon?" seeing him so thoughtful, Maisa asked worriedly. She saw him appraising the fruit, and thought there was a problem.

"It seems that the effect would be greater if this were done through a medicinal bath," Amon replied.

Ariel said, "We may not have a cauldron or anything, but we can still dig a hole, yes?"

"Ariel's suggestion is very good," Julia agreed and added, "Also, we took some medicinal herbs beforehand. If you use them together, it will help a lot, yes? By the way, Maisa and I can provide water, while the fire is left to Barbara."

"Yes, you can count on me!" Barbara patted her chest confidently.

Amon thought for a while, then he agreed. "That way, it would work. I'll try to use as little as possible to have leftovers for you all."

"Don't worry, the priority is you." Julia shrugged.

She wasn't like before. She might want to get stronger, but she knew that the more Amon got stronger, the more resources they would all get in this competition.

"Julia is right. Don't worry about us; just focus on creating your first genetic factor!" Barbara said.

Amon didn't respond. He felt grateful, but he still intended to share...

In a short time, a hole with a depth of 110 cm, with almost the same width, was made. Barbara started to throw her flames into the hole, and soon after, Julia and Maisa threw in some water, causing it to solidify around the hole. Then they continued adding water until it was almost filled to the brim. Taking all the herbs they found, after evaluating them, they started to put the useful ones in the 'bathtub'.

Meanwhile, Amon dug a hole a little thicker than the fist, going to the bottom of the 'bathtub'. When it was done, Barbara threw flames through this hole, so the water started to heat up. The scent of herbs began to waft through the air. Even without getting into the 'bathtub', the girls could feel the effect.

Amon cut the blood fruit into four pieces and took a larger piece, which was not in the part Ariel had cut before, and threw it into the water. With that done, the smell got even better.

Amon started to undress. This time, the girls gulped for a different reason...

"Amon?!?"

Ariel covered her face with her hands, but she was still peering through the gaps in her fingers. Barbara, on the other hand, looked boldly, albeit with a rosy face. Julia and Maisa weren't much 'better'; their faces were as red as blood fruit.

For the girls' happiness, or misfortune, Amon took off most of his clothes, leaving him wearing only his boxer briefs.

"Isn't it better if you take it all away...?" Maisa muttered.

"Yes, yes," Barbara agreed.

Of course, it wasn't because they wanted to see him naked. No, no! It was… it was because they wanted the effect to be greater! Yes, that was it…

"I should?" Amon looked at them. He wasn't as dense as he used to be. He'd done some research before, and he knew he normally shouldn't get naked so easily, especially in front of girls.

"Yes, you should. No need to worry. We know this is to give you better results!" Julia didn't know if she was trying to convince Amon or herself.

Amon was uninhibited. Knowing the girls didn't care, he took off his underwear.

"The dragon is asleep, but it's still so big..." Maisa muttered.

"Why do I feel like the way you say it feels like you've already seen it awake?" Barbara looked at her.

"I prefer not to comment," Maisa said with her flushed face.

"..." Barbara felt a sense of urgency.

Julia looked at Maisa, but didn't speak. Ariel just looked at the big picture with interest. She was also surprised when she saw the thing swaying as Amon headed towards the 'bathtub'.

Honestly, even though she didn't want to get into a relationship, no one could blame her for being curious. She was still a young adult with desires after all.

It wasn't until Amon fully entered the water that the girls began to return to normal. Because of the herbs, the color of the water became darker, and one could barely see the lower part of Amon's body that was submerged in the water. Barbara continued to use her flames to heat the water as Amon sat cross-legged and used the rune: [Boundless Heart].

The girls were amazed. The amount of energy that started  to fluctuate was absurd.

"Don't miss this chance. Meditate," Ariel warned the other girls.

Barbara unfortunately couldn't. She still had to supply the flames for the medicinal bath. The energy of heaven and earth began to circulate, heading towards Amon. Only a small part went in the direction of the girls, but it was already of great benefit.

As it approached, it turned into threads of energy and entered through the pores of their bodies. Even Barbara, who wasn't meditating, benefited a little. While Amon... Well, the amount of energy he received was able to make him already start filling in his genetics.

_ _

<Gene + 6>

<Filled Lightning Gene + 4>

_ _

"Ugh!"

Amon let out a low groan. The amount of improvement was rapid, giving him an effect of both pleasure and pain.

_ _

<Gene + 2>

<Filled Lightning Gene + 3>

<You have reached level one hundred of the Gene>

<You have reached level ninety-eight of the Lightning Gene>

_ _

Amon opened his eyes then closed them again. Although it was in line with his expectations, the fact that the gene had already reached level 100 was still faster than he had expected.

_ _

<Filled Lightning Gene + 1>

_ _

When increased by 1 more, the effect started to weaken.

Amon took another ¼ of the blood fruit and some herbs. After doing so, Amon closed his eyes again.

Minutes later…

_ _

<Filled Lightning Gene + 1>

<You have reached level one hundred of the Lightning Gene>

...

_ _

Before Amon opened his eyes, something happened that surprised him.

_ _

<Gene + 1>

_ _

'Like this?' This took him by surprise, as his genes had reached level 100. So now it was 101?

Wanting to put this to the test, he continued to meditate.

Some minutes later...

_ _

<Filled Lightning Gene + 1>

...

<Gene + 1>

_ _

"Wow..."

Amon continued. He wasn't sure if this was normal, but he could tell it would be of benefit to keep going.

The vortex created above his head grew larger. The amount of energy from heaven and earth had increased.NThe girls were surprised by this increase in energy. By doing this for many minutes, Barbara starts to wear out, however, the increase in energy did replenish her genetics. Although it wasn't enough to alleviate all of her fatigue, it was still enough for her to continue to provide flames.

Almost ten minutes later...

_ _

<Gene + 2>

<Filled Lightning Gene + 3>

...

<You have reached level one hundred and four of the Lightning Gene>

_ _

Amon felt a strong pressure in his body. The genetic factor of the lightning that was forming was looking like it was going to explode...

'Should I stop?' Amon began to ponder. However, the amount of energy sucked into his body continued to increase.

_ _

<Gene + 1>

...

<Gene + 1>

...

<Gene + 1>

_ _

"..."

Amon knew that if he didn't fill things in properly, there could be a problem when creating the genetic factor, so he had to fill in the white genes with lightning genes...

_ _

<Filled Lightning Gene + 3>

_ _

'... I feel full. I won't explode, will I?'

The feeling that he might explode at any moment scared him a little. Every lightning gene he filled was like eating an extra pound of food after he was full. It was unbearable.

Around Amon's body, lightning began to crackle. Outside, a heavy storm started to appear. Thunder sounds echoed without limit.

"That is..."

The girls stopped meditating.

The pressure Amon was putting inside himself was almost unbearable. Luckily the girls weren't being harmed by him.

Because of the lightning that surrounded Amon, the herbs and water began to have an even greater effect. At this point, Barbara no longer needed to supply flames.

Sensing this, Barbara stopped and began to meditate. Even though she thought Amon's current state was a little strange, she didn't think it was a bad thing. So, she prioritized restoring her strength while observing from time to time in case Amon needed her to supply flames again.

_ _

<Gene + 1>

...

<Gene + 1>

_ _

Amon was feeling suffocated. Just when he thought he was done, his genes increased. Worse than that, he couldn't stop now. He needed to keep going, but it was almost unbearable.
