Chapter 34: Eccentrics - Part 2
🕑 Added 2019-10-05 00:14:52 +0000 UTC--
We continue our compilation until it's close to lunch time. Logan returns and helps us store the books.
"Good luck on your future" Logan says.
"You too," I respond.
"You will need it more than me," he smirks.
"We will," Ciel says, we wave and finally leave.
Alissa is still at the orphanage, play-fighting with the children while wielding small wooden practice swords.
She runs between 3 children and lightly taps their swords away. A 4th sneaks behind her and stabs her in the back.
"Noo~... I'm slain!" She holds the kids sword below her arm and dramatically drops to the floor.
"The fox monster is slain!" The stabby kid raises his arms in the air.
"For the emperor!" Yells another.
"Sir Bahaadur has slain the fox monster!" Yells a second.
Two other kids grab Bahaadur's wrists and raise them in the air.
"For the empire!"
The other kids watching clap. I see quite a number of them look tired and sweaty.
Alissa sits down and stretches. Her yellow shirt is sweaty and wrinkled, her black pants are dirty, her hair is disheveled.
"It's time to prepare lunch!" A priestess yells as she comes out of the orphanage. She waves to Ciel when she notices us.
"Kay!"
"Let's go."
"Coming!"
The kids gather their things and go inside.
A little girl approaches the smiling fox and says, "Thanks, Miss Alissa."
"No problem, we all had fun, right?" She pats her head.
The little girl nods and scurries away towards the orphanage.
Alissa stands up and stretches. "Some of these kids are so fast, I thought I was getting rusty," she says.
"The orphanage gathers attracts children quite often," Ciel says. "Every year I was surprised at the way they grew and changed."
"I believe that."
Alissa takes a quick bath and we prepare lunch. Mutton stir fried with assorted vegetables on my Worcestershire sauce. Bread to accompany.
"This sauce got really popular with the priests," Ciel says.
"If I could get a few ingredients I could improve it some more," I say.
"Maybe you should open a company then," Lina says.
"Maybe you should open a company in my name."
Lina twiddles her thumbs in thought.
This [Nature Magic] class was free so I spend time using [Vine Weapon] to create javelins for throwing. More advanced mages can even make bows using this spell. With around 5 points in [Throw] I can deal some considerable damage though I wonder how practical this is. The mana cost is certainly quite cheap but a [Lightning Bolt] is still instantaneous.
Using it for disabling shields is a good option. I think that it's most useful when dealing with large monsters, a javelin deep into their skin would greatly disrupt their muscles and even do more damage as the monster moves. Though it seems quite painful.
I feel that Alissa went to visit Carmen again. That milf is certainly teaching her a few things.
"Wolfy! Give me attention!" Roxanne demands.
I open my arms and she jumps into my lap. Her "cannonball" makes large waves on the bath, sending lots of water over the border.
I cough the water that entered my mouth and give her a glare.
"Massage my horns," she pokes me in the chest with her two spiral black horns.
"You, uh, you not going to 'change'?" I ask.
"Ohohoh, only if you do it with lube and too fast," she smirks at me evilly.
"Alright."
She straddles me and lowers her head, giving me reach to her horns. She shivers and moans while I run my hand through them and apply [Massage]. They are not completely hard, they squish a bit and feel like hard rubber.
The girls look at her warily, as if she's a bomb about to blow.
"I want your body tonight. I'm doing well in converting my body to fire I just need to feel you cast the spell some more."
"Oh? That's quite the progress."
"Yep! I'm also making my own chant."
She feels my rising erection rubbing on her entrance and smiles. She reaches over and aims it, then she lowers herself and I easily penetrate her.
"Ahn…" She bites her lips sensually, her long wet black hair sticking to her face. "Your cock is amazing."
I move my hip and thrust her.
"Ah...! One hand on a nipple, please. You made them all so sensitive."
"Like a newborn," Ciel says.
I obey and contort myself so I can use a mouth and a hand on the nipples and a hand on her horn. I cup her cute small breast and run my tongue through her unnaturally white skin.
Her tail wraps around my arm and squeezes me with every thrust. The sharp point of her dagger-tail scratches over my neck threateningly. She copies Hana's belly movements and undulates her body along with the pistoning movement. I cum inside her but keep moving, [Enhanced Semen Recharge] doesn't even let me go limp anymore.
Her sexiness intoxicates me and I feel every drop of sweat or water running through her body. Every wet sound of sex is enhanced in my ears. The smell of her hair, of her sweat, of my cum, and her pussy, they all become heavy and thick like smoke, they bring more hunger to me.
I run my tongue through her collarbone and neck, I reach her chin and nibble on her lips. Her mouth is open wide as she moans, I cover hers with mine and suck on her tongue, I feel the faint taste of tea.
She moves her tongue and it sends jolts of pleasure to my own, she pistons her hips and I feel my dick getting sucked by her insides. She orgasms and tightens her insides so much I cum again.
I leave her nipple alone and find her clit. I rub it slowly at first and increase my speed gradually, in a minute my hand is vibrating with the speed of my fingers. She breaks the kiss.
"AAAHN~...!" She yells and orgasms again, wringing out another shot from me.
Her womb is overflowing and the semen is visible inside the bath.
"Waaste!" Hana complains.
Roxanne locks her legs around me.
"Impregnate me! Fill me more! I need more!"
Her pistoning increases speed and her eyes lock into mine. The world fades and the only thing in my mind is her beautiful body, her breasts, her wet cunt slapping into my hips, greedy for more of my seed. Her eyes become larger and larger, her presence wraps around my body and I feel like I'm drowning, drowning in her.
"Holy shit, she actually charmed him," Ciel says.
I need to fuck, I need to fuck her, hard!
I grab her waist and slam her into me, I bite a nipple and put a finger inside her ass. I cast [Clean] and push my finger harder, then I push another finger, and another.
She wraps her legs tight around me again and orgasms, sucking more cum with her greedy cunt.
The mist dissipates and my mind clears. My body hurts from exertion, my dick goes limp and my balls throb in pain. I collapse on the bath, I feel like I ran a marathon.
"Wow, I didn't know I could do that," Roxanne says.
"Makes sense, The God of Creation used the myth that some women would charm and drain vitality of men through sex to create the Succubus race," Lina says.
"Yeah but, I didn't know we could actually do something like this."
"Could be related to Gify and how our minds connect," Alissa says. "I know I improved from showing my heart to Wolfy. My ass disagrees, though."
"Let's not... Do this often... Because it's... Really draining," I say.
"Now you know who tames who," Roxanne smirks evilly.
"I will ass rape you," I say flatly, "no [Heal]."
"Hahaha..." She looks away, "Just joking, yes, just joking."
My limp dick is still inside her, slowly growing back to one last fight. This time we do it slowly while Hana participates.
After dinner we are back inside the bath, this time it's for training, not that it won't degenerate into sex soon enough since me and Roxanne are naked.
"Turn my heart into fire. Fill my blood with heat. Turn my flesh into flame. Let them cower and retreat! AAAAAH...! Feel my anger! [Heart of Fire]!"
Roxanne's body bursts into flame and she turns into the sexiest fire elemental alive.
"I can turn my body into fire now!" She exclaims, her voice has an ethereal reverb to it.
"Ooh..."
We all clap.
I cast my own [Heart of Fire] and turn into the sexiest male fire elemental alive, or that's what the girls would have me believe.
"Come," I say. I open my arms wide for her and she jumps to me.
Oh Gods I feel weird as hell.
Our flames mix and it feels like there's something disgusting inside my body moving about. Reminds me of the Mage's Trap poison.
"Uugh," Roxanne groans, "let's not do that again.
"Yes."
"Hm? Felt something?" Hana asks.
"Felt really weird to mix our flames," I answer.
I recast the spell multiple times for Roxanne to copy while the other girls go do their own things. Alissa stays in the bath and practices her [Double Image].
During bed I put some effort and give a round to Alissa and Hana. Hana hugs Alissa and they both kiss and fondle each other. I switch between each entrance while smacking Hana’s large ass.
Today is the 8th. Ros, day of Space.
My alarm clock is Alissa due to the soreness of yesterday. I use [Heal] and even apply some of the high elven skin care products to make the skin less irritated.
My "Piety" and [Fire Magic] increased by 1 (now 15 and 0+4). Alissa's "Charisma" and [Illusion Magic] increased by 1 (now 12 and 5). Lina's "Piety" increased by 1 (now 12).
"Maintain your mind on the words so they last longer," Kyros says. "Eventually part of your brain will develop a sub-process that will take care of these things by themselves, this is when you will actually gain the skill."
"Sub-process?"
Sounds incredibly close to programming.
"Yes...?" He frowns slightly, "It works the same way as [Battlefield Perception], a small part of your mind dedicated to a specific task. How did you learn that skill?"
"By being attacked from all directions and forcing myself to predict when it would come."
"Oh right, adventurers," He chuckles. "The proper way is to focus on multi-tasking, you observe battles and try to predict outcomes so much that they become instinct."
"Hm... The way I learned was quite simple, albeit a little painful, and I learned it quite fast."
"Sure, for your needs it's perfect but for an Imperial General you need to go much more in depth. Aren't you the leader of Helios? Having more points on that skill could certainly help in saving your companions before they get wounded."
"That is certainly true, another thing that I have to train added to the pile," I smile wryly.
"Most of my life was spent training. For people like us the moment you stop training is the moment you die."
I sigh and nod along.
"Is this 'sub-process' also how you control magic spirits?"
"Hm? You can summon one?"
"No, but one of my women can," I lie.
"I see. Well, I believe it could be so, the spirits are simple minded and reactive, quite similar to how the skills that use sub-processes behave."
"Could spirits be used to train dual-casting?"
"I believe that is possible," he strokes his goatee. "I myself learned dual-casting by using [Battlefield Perception] as a basis and created by own sub-process, but it's limited to the mana vortexes."
"If a sub-process is something so common to develop why is there no skill related to it?"
"I'm not sure, I believe it's related to the fact that a single sub-process is extremely constrained in functionality while in general having innumerous applications. It may not fit the rather abstract nature of the skill system."
So it's too ad hoc for the system to adapt it into a skill.
"It's always quite interesting discussing things with you, teacher," I smile.
"Likewise, I must say you are among the best I have taught," he faintly smiles back.
We continue practice. I focus on my "auto-pilot", I believe this is the secret to dual-casting.
During lunch Lina is energetic and impatient, she’s nearly finished with the new shaft for her switch-axe so she wants to dive on it non-stop like Roxanne does.
"It’s just so close, but Gimbo didn’t let me finish," She looks down and her bangs cover her eyes.
"Good exercise to build patience," Hana says and glares at Roxanne, "I can see how some people need it."
The succubus looks away and casually rubs a horn in embarrassment.
Electric class had some chemistry experiments around electricity. The first one is about electrolysis to remove rust from metal.
"Don't any of you cast a spell right now, if a spark goes off and the class explodes I will take the hand of the one responsible," Professor Nellan glares at the class through his red leather mask. "And I won't pay for the [Regeneration]."
He mixes washing soda on a small tub of water, then he puts on it a small rusted piece of metal and two ends of a circuit tied to metal plates. He enchants a proto-battery with [Charge] and soon the water starts bubbling. He leaves the tub by the windows.
"These bubbles are full of pure oxygen, if you create a spark right now the air could ignite," he says. "We will leave it like this until the end of class. Now, let's move on to the second experiment."
With a poof he pulls out multiple glass tubes and a new circuit with a proto-battery he enchants with [Charge]. He puts the first tube in and it glows a slightly red orange.
"Neon."
Next is violet.
"Argon."
Next is a duller violet, pinkish.
"Nitrogen."
Next is a dimmer violet.
"Oxygen."
Next is pink.
"Hydrogen."
Next is gray.
"Krypton."
Next is slightly blue.
"Xenon."
Helium is missing, perhaps they haven't discovered it yet?
He then casts [Magnetize], the level 50 spell from [Electric Magic], on a cylinder of metal. He approaches the cylinder to the tubes and they glow faintly.
"This is what you can manipulate with [Electric Magic], it's a particle called the 'traveler'. The act of manipulating this particle is called 'itionization'. This manipulation of matter releases energy, which in the case of the gases turns it into light."
I only know this is ionization because of how the gases release light. The magnetic field from [Magnetize] can also ionize gases, thus creating light.
We make some calculations about the energy released from ionization and some other calculations about the percentage of ionization during electrolysis. Chemistry stuff that I only glimpsed a few times during high school. Now this is a difficult theory class.
"Didn't know water and electricity could meld so well," Lyle says. "Though I see that [Alchemy] and [Conjuring Magic] can be much simpler in dealing with."
"There could be many uses for those procedures the professor is showing," I say. "We could also research deeper and understand more of physics. More theoretical knowledge will always help with magic, right?"
"That is correct. It's also curious how there's no mana signatures on the water and the washing soda the professor used."
"Indeed, Roxanne only uses potions with mana signature, everything that has no reaction she throws away because it could be dangerous for the body."
"There are a few medicines that do not need mana signatures to work," Hatara says. "We sometimes use non-magical medicines to heal the body so we can conserve mana."
"Oh yes, I know quite a few plants that have some healing properties," Alissa says.
"How is that possible? How can something heal without mana?" Lyle asks.
"I think it's not the [Heal] properties that your thinking, Lyle," I say. "There's more to medicine than just knitting wounds."
"Oh right, you are a Light mage too," Hatara says and I smile back.
"What did those plants do?" I ask Alissa.
"Calming effect, reducing bleeding, anti-infection, anti-fever, and anti-inflammation- She answers."
"Why would you need those plants?" Lyle asks.
"Plenty of monsters at the Misty Low Forest can cause these things. It's easier to deal with it on-site than going back to finding a healer. It's also quite common to hunt alone with just a bow since the monsters there are more on the sneaky and weak side than the loud and big side."
"Does not sound like a pleasant place to hunt," Lyle says.
"It's not, Prowlers can envenom you before you can even react."
"What is that? A big snake or something?" I ask.
Alissa chuckles.
"If only," she smiles bitterly. "They are giant spider-like monsters, their body is long and furry, they have a very ugly human face, and bulging eyes."
"When we go visit is there some chance of them attacking us?" I ask.
"They don't attack groups normally, only when really starved."
Thank the fucking Gods.
We come back and continue our theory lessons. At the end of class the professor pulls out the metal plate and easily scrubs the rust away with a brush.
"You can easily remove the rust from any armor with this," the professor says. "Though you should be careful with enchantments, you don't want to mess with the silver or gold lines."
We come back and Aoi is dodging Hana's wooden spear. Lina is lifting weights thicker than her own arms.
"I'm gonna get ya, I'm gonna get ya, I'm gonna getcha, I'm gonna getcha!- Hana stabs and finally she hits Aoi on the flank."
"Kweheheheh!" She chirps in pain and in a giggle-like way.
Hana sees us coming and stops.
"You know, I think she's growing faster than normal, I thought it would take years for her to get this agile."
"She has been under the influence of a lot of mana," Lina says. "They are partially magical beings so perhaps the more mana in their environment the faster they grow."
Roxanne comes out and stretches her hands for Aoi, who dashes to her and jumps on her arms.
"Time for her [Item Box] training," Roxanne says and goes back inside. Aoi reduces in size and then crawls up to Roxanne's shoulder.
"It shouldn't be a coincidence she likes to eat a variety of monsters," I say.
"Dragons would hunt anything living, including other monsters," Alissa says.
"She will grow into a wonderful dragon," Hana says with a grin.
I pull out a set of weights and start lifting them alongside Lina. I take my shirt off and see her nipples get hard through her sweaty thin white shirt.
I wait for after dinner until I give her what she wants. She was getting visibly annoyed and anxious, which just makes it so much more delicious when I can immediately penetrate her without foreplay due to her wetness.
After I’m done with Lina, Roxanne and Hana are still wrestling while Alissa is casually rubbing herself. Because of this Ciel struggles to concentrate on [Holy Spirit]. She could ask to change the place of our training to the bed but her own budding depravity makes her compelled to stay.
Today is the 9th. Nev, day of the Spirit. Lots of people go to the temple today, it’s somewhat of a holiday.
Ciel deliberately wakes me up so I get a perfect view first thing in the morning.
"I love you, Ciel," I say and kiss her forehead as she swallows, "and you, Lina, and you, Alissa."
I have a very odd feeling, like I can just sneeze and [Godly Language] would appear on my skill list. I have been wishing to not learn it so I can hide this power from others so I guess this is what it feels like to suppress a level up.
My [Electric Magic] increased by 2 (now 9+14).
I spend my morning practicing the MP training from Kyros. I gather all my mana on the vortex, hold it for a few seconds and then let the mana return to me. It's rather difficult to do, it requires quite a lot of concentration to fill it with every single point of mana. It also requires some attention for you to know that all your mana is used, otherwise you waste time trying to pull one more point of mana that does not exist.
I open my eyes and see Hana sparring with Alissa. Alissa goes to strike and Hana suddenly jumps back, her sword trying to guard against something that's not there.
"Oh shit..." Hana exclaims, barely blocking the real strike, "That was pretty good."
"What did you do, Alissa?" I ask.
"Split only my arm with [Double Image]," She answers. She shows it to me by slashing at the air. Another arm grows from her existing one and strikes at a different direction.
"Impressive," I say.
"I wanna learn that one," Hana says.
Alissa plops on the ground and taps her belly. Hana smirks and cuddles with her.
"I recently learned why you two love to cuddle with her," Alissa says.
A Roxanne made of fire slowly nods to Alissa.
"You are burning the grass again," Ciel says.
"Tch," Roxanne clicks her tongue, her voice has a slight ethereal reverb, "I lose my concentration for a second and this happens."
Lina comes back with her switch-axe improved. She got a new shaft that is 1.2 meters long and transplanted its enchantments, the [Extend] enchantment was modified to [Morph Length], now it can elongate to 2 meters or shrink to 0.4 meters, allowing for her to use it for close or long range.
"Maybe at the High Forest we could use a better type of wood," I say.
Lina smiles and nods.
Blessing class is quite calm. Professor Alciel helped us to cast more advanced spells in area and I had to keep my eyes squinted due to the repeated rainbow shine of [Rainbow Shield] activating.
"Your area castings is pretty good, Wolf," Hatara says.
"[Redirect Mana] helped me with this. I have been casting [Wind Shield] in area for a long time already," I respond.
"You are quite the talented mage, makes me a little envious," she absentmindedly twirls her ponytail on her finger.
"Don't let Ciel hear that," Alissa says, making me smile wryly.
Lina nods along.
Hatara looks confused but decides to ignore our inside joke. She turns to Lina and speaks- Anyway, tell me about that book from the messages from the Gods. More "Piety" will improve my healing.
At dinner we make some of my hot Buffalo wings. Alissa bought baby Harpy wings, they are much smaller, softer, and filled with fat. I just don't want to imagine how they look like.
Roxanne happily hums along, her [Heart of Fire] is nearly done. Ciel is glum because her [Holy Spirit] is being delayed, she keeps losing her concentration due to everyone being naked and spontaneous steamy sex happening all around.
The wings disappear leaving only a single one left. Hana and Ciel extend their hands to grab it at the same time. They stop and stare at each other.
Slowly their eyes narrow and the table goes silent as the impending duel makes everyone run back inside and close their windows. The Dark Angel and the Red Devil finally meet in battle once again.
Hana's fingers move in a wave, trying to startle Ciel but it is for naught, the Dark Angel awareness is as sharp as a knife. Ciel's beautiful visage distorts into a scowl as she shows the extent of her resolve to the Red Devil.
The wicked woman smirks and receives the stare, she enjoys the attention, and the challenge. They step closer to each other, their hands hovering over the holsters. A pair of gloomy eyes spies over the crack in the window only to be pulled down by a pair of pale hands.
A dragon casually crosses the streets, the scales tinkling and reflecting in the Sun. The two duelists are like statues, their breathing slows and their hands stop trembling, their eyes narrow, their focus is so deep they can see a single speck of dust moving as the wind blows.
A bird chirps. The duelists draw and fire. A small piece of metal falls in the ground, two bullets met in the air and annihilated each other. The Dark Angel is faster but the Devil is more cunning, she dodges the second bullet with a blur and fires repeatedly. The Dark Angel is at a loss, her accurate strikes are thrown off, she can only watch in horror as the bullets come to her.
In a last ditch effort the Dark Angel dodges and saves herself, she rolls away from the street and into safety. She's wounded but not dead, she will live to fight another day.
The Red Devil casually strolls towards the prize. She bleeds but she will live, her wounds are nothing in compared with the Dark Angel.
"You are cleaning this mess," Alissa says.
"Sorry..." Ciel mutters as she collects the cutlery thrown around the table.
"Not sorry," Hana says and takes another bite.
