There is only one effective method to overcome fear, and that is to face it.
Of course, you need to face your fears gradually. If you start by facing your worst fears, then the end result is that your fears get worse.
Fortunately, we were in the right place to overcome Claire's fears. After all, the monsters here were illusory and did not emit any killing intent. For Claire, whose fear came from the killer's killing intent, these monsters were a great place to start.
But even so, facing fear is not an easy thing.
"yeah!" Claire closed her eyes and swung her sword crazily. I sighed as I watched the third-tier enemy swirl around him and attack his back.
Helpless, I could only kill him before injuring Claire and aggravating the situation.
"Claire, you can't close your eyes" I said for the umpteenth time.
Claire put on a self-deprecating smile. "Sorry, I can't help it." I could see that his body was trembling a little.
"It doesn't work." Looking at Claire, I shook my head. Although his current condition was better than before, he still could not overcome his fear.
This can't go on. If Claire was unable to gather her courage and face the monsters here, where they were illusions, then her future as a cultivator would be cut off.
Moreover, he would probably continue to live in fear from today onwards.
Furrowing my brows, I decided to take it a step further. Anyway, I've decided I'll help him.
"Claire, take my hand." I said.
Claire was a little surprised before nodding. With a slight blush, he grabbed my hand and linked his fingers with mine.
I put on an amused smile and pulled her towards another monster.
At the same time, I prepared myself to use a more drastic measure.
In a few seconds, the next monster appeared before us. It was a fifth-tier wolf, a monster that was even stronger than Claire.
As expected, Claire froze when she saw the monster. He tightened his hands around my hands and turned pale.
"Swine, I can't do it …"
"Calm down, I'll help you." I said with a smile and patted Claire on the head. A little thread of my mana entered Claire's body to help her calm down.
When Claire finally relaxed, I took a deep breath.
"I'll try something, don't resist." I said.
Claire was surprised, but she nodded in the next second.
Instantly, a strange energy pulse entered his mind.
Without giving her time to react, a thread of energy emerged from my soul and entered into Claire's soul. Claire's soul instinctively tried to resist it, but my powerful soul instantly overpowered her and forced a thread of energy inside.
Claire blanches. Her beautiful blue eyes trembled with a hint of fear, but in the next moment, her eyes opened wide.
Later then…
“hmm...~” A gentle groan comes out of her lips. Claire's cheeks flushed red, and an embarrassed expression appeared on her face.
He hurriedly bit his lips to suppress the strange pleasure he felt, but then, an even stronger pleasure came from his soul. Claire's legs involuntarily flexed, and her body fell onto my body.
“Sepupu...” Claire sighed seductively on my chest and bit her lips.
But even though I was tempted, I knew this was not the time for it.
"Fokus!" Aku mengirimkan aliran pemikiran ke dalam benak Claire yang langsung membersihkannya dari keadaan anehnya. Claire kemudian membuka matanya lebar-lebar dan memerah.
“M-Sorry..”
“Now is not the time for that! Go and face the monster!” I said rule.
“Y-Ya.” Claire nodded and instinctively rushed towards the monster. But suddenly, he realized that his fear had disappeared from his mind.
(Soul) is the strongest suit and my area of expertise. Even my reincarnation was soul-based, although to be honest, it was more of an accident than something I accomplished myself.
So, I used a softer approach.
Connecting my soul with Claire's, I used that connection to send Claire a thought of bravery and courage. In this way, my stronger soul easily suppressed the fear within Claire's weaker soul.
However, this method has some side effects.
After all, connecting a soul like this was often used for dual cultivation.
Nonetheless, however, we quickly saw the effects of this method. Although Claire felt a little uncomfortable at first, she also discovered that she was no longer afraid of facing monsters.
Furthermore, even when he looked at the sixth layer bat-like monster, he felt that he could kill it.
I've stopped the connection after he killed the third monster, but Claire's fear isn't coming back. Instead, he became bolder and bolder.
But in addition, the desire to turn around and hug me grew stronger.
After killing around ten monsters, Claire suddenly stopped.
"How's that?" i asked.
"… I think I'm much better."
“Is that? I'm happy."
Seeing me, Claire started rubbing her legs. "… Cousin."
“Hm?”
"Can I hug you?" Claire suddenly asked.
I wore a strange expression, however, I had no reason to refuse good food.
With a smile, I answered. "Of course."
Instantly, Claire rushed towards me.
She hugged my body tightly and inhaled my smell. Her beautiful belly hair waved gently with the wind and hit my arm.
"Cousin .. I like you."
"So that's it."
"… Can I kiss you?" claire says.
I looked into Claire's eyes and nodded. Then, Claire jumped up and hugged my neck.
In the next instant, her soft lips met mine.
I kissed her fiercely. One of my hands held Claire's ass, and the other started caressing her back.
In her excitement, Claire wrapped her legs around my waist. I used my lips to open her mouth and slowly attacked the inside with my tongue, while Claire closed her eyes and let out a stifled groan.
But at that moment, we heard two voices from far away.
“... Are you sure my brother passed here?”
“This is the only other way. I'm sure they are here.”
"… I wonder why they've been so long."
Suddenly, Claire froze.
I smiled wryly and patted the little loli on his back.
"Down, I don't want to die yet."
“Fufufu...” Claire giggled and licked her lips, but she obediently let go of her rocky embrace, though not before giving me one last kiss.
I shook my head with a bitter smile. Huh, sometimes even I am destined to suffer from blue balls.
