Divine Luck: SSS-Rank Battle Maid Harem-Chapter 506 : Nom

In the winter wonderland with worse weather than the mountain in the Labyrinth of Vidur had before becoming Zach's property, finding traces of other groups was next to impossible. Still, on the twenty-eighth floor, Mandra picked up residual presences of others.

The traces they found definitely didn't belong to the Children, and were not anywhere close to Zach. They had found traces of the barbarians. Now, they just had to follow them through the blizzard to see if they belonged to Maura's mother or any of the other tribes.

Both Zach and Maura had trouble seeing either of the other tribes making it this far this soon, but then again, they had made it this far in better time than the Maura chief.

The tribes probably had a reason for taking it slow, which meant they could be fast if they wanted to. They also hadn't seen many traces of the thousands of other tribe members. They could be spread out on the floors they had already passed. But the leaders of each tribe could have ventured deep into the Labyrinth already.

With the tension from Visla building with each step they took, Zach's group followed the traces to a cave in the snowy mountains that the twentieth floors consisted of. The cave entrance was hidden and safe from the howling and freezing winds. As soon as they entered it, they walked into a wall of heat.

They also saw the heat of a campfire further in. But before they could get that far, a large man wrapped in an icy pelt stepped out from around the corner and looked at them with a dark gaze. From his appearance alone, it was obvious he was a member of the Maura tribe.

He narrowed his eyes as he looked at the group. Since Visla was hiding behind Yanael, he didn't see her.

"This cave is occupied." He didn't need to say the rest. He was telling them to fuck off.

That was despite them being clearly from the Empire. Since the two sides were technically at war, Zach would have thought the barbarians would have been a little more hostile.

The Maura warrior was by no means friendly, but he also wasn't starting a fight.

Zach reached out to the side and grabbed Visla by the scruff of her neck like a mother cat with her kitten. He showed her to the Maura warrior who narrowed his eyes.

"You…You're one of the Chief's children, right?" He asked.

Visla nodded without meeting the man's gaze. Not looking up at him wasn't difficult. He was almost as tall as Alzara and thrice as wide.

"W-what are you doing here?" He asked, a little surprised.

"I'm here to see m—We're here to talk to the Chief," Visla said, mustering her courage and straightening her back.

The Maura warrior frowned slightly and shot a glance back into the cave.

"I, uh—"

"Get out of the way, Nom," A woman's voice oozing with power called out from behind Nom.

Visla flinched at the voice. Zach worriedly raised an eyebrow. Was the Maura chief big trouble?

Nom nodded and stepped aside, letting Zach's group go past him. Zach naturally took the lead. Visla was slow to follow, so he pushed her along with a barrier to her back. Still, she hid behind them as they rounded the corner to a larger space.

It was where the flickering light of a campfire had come from.

A group of big and burly Maura warriors stood around it. One was bent over to roast some meat on the fire.

Only one sat down. Still she looked at Zach and the others down her nose.

Visla's mother, the Maura Chief, was as tall as Alzara, who was the second tallest in the room. That was noticeable even when she was lounging in a chair next to the campfire, showing off her muscular and toned body that was like a work of art. It was even coated in a glistening layer of sweat.

She was warm despite the minimal amount of clothes on her. A fur wrapped around her hips and a white fur vest to match her thick, neck-length bundle of hair.

Her vest was one sudden movement away from slipping off of the surprisingly pale mounds beneath. She was undeniably attractive, and with such a temptation lying in the open, few would be unable to resist trying to sneak a glimpse.

None of the warriors in the cave were looking at her.

Her steely eyes caught Zach's gaze glancing over her before landing on her face without hesitation. She glanced at his entourage.

A following of that kind could either mean he was a degenerate lecher and pervert. But then, he would have gawked and stared.

He didn't do that because he was used to women. Still…

"You've brought friends, daughter—interesting friends. S'he a mate of yours?" The Maura Chief asked, going straight for it.

"W-what! N-no!" Visla hurriedly protested.

"Good, then you won't mind if I take him for myself," the Maura Chief said, a corner of her lips rising as she looked Zach up and down. His clothes were pretty tattered, but even if they hadn't been, she would have noticed his physique. The way he stood, rested his arms, and breathed couldn't be hidden from her eyes.

He would last a little while.

"You can't!" Visla's voice was loud in the cave, despite several piles of meat being there to absorb the sound.

"You said he wasn't yours. Stay out of this conversation." The Maura Chief's words were an order, something Visla couldn't ignore.

The Chief looked Zach in the eyes as she spoke.

"What do you say, young Evandiel? Fancy a tussle with the enemy?" She asked, sitting up straight before leaning in, somehow not exposing herself but being infuriatingly close to.

Zach didn't answer immediately.

It didn't take a genius to figure out what Visla's mother wanted. He had to admit…

He was intrigued—a little tempted, even.
