16th day of prophecy, inside the newly exorcised inner library of the royal manor, capital of Rhyclan, very early morning.

Sleepy and warm were the two perfect words to describe the atmosphere of the library afore the coming the dawn as tensions and stress could finally evaporate once young men and women of renown saw the end of the nightmare and the success brought by the unyielding spirit and sacrifices of a particular actor. An amazon turned knight who later let go of her order –and achievements- to serve her liege was a dearly valued friends, comrade-in-arms and lover; a soul merge may be an hefty price but when she ran out of the library full of energy while kidnapping her friend (while being followed by a certain collective surrogate daughter) whatever was needed to see her alive and well was something the young man felt was worth it, even if his heart stung terribly at the vision of his somber bodyguard, as if his very body taunted the question ‘’what have you done?’’. The only relief from this internal monologue was the absence of derisive comments from an entity that long overstayed its welcome.

Events transpired during this struggles for ones souls of course, confusion coupled with pragmatism led to a regrettable outcome that was thankfully countered by quick thinking, whether Siegfried was to hold a grudge, none could say but his heart was sent aflame nonetheless when speaking alone with a fluffy queen-mother who dutifully explained the past and reasons why a holy blade had to be stabbed inside the wife-to-be vitals, an exchange held thankfully away from all the other maidens and single other male of the library.

‘’Souls and body form a whole – a link in of itself- amongst humans and monsters. Angels and Yukionnas are often described as ‘’half body, half soul’’ for this very reason; they’re toughness, heroic strength and very body come from this spiritual projection upon the world, in a sense you could say they’ve attuned themselves with a ‘’soul world’’ of their own that they project upon this fragile reality. This is why Radiance was at a distinctive disadvantage when you saw her battle against that Nightmare’’

He had, of course, explained his own side of events up to a certain point; time and tiredness wouldn’t allow a proper reveal of the entity dwelling inside him and he certainly wouldn’t want her to miss sleep over this; Tsukiyomi would definitely be the type to agonize over this bad worm torturing the man she love.

‘’Their strength doesn’t tend to have much ups and down, angels –and I’m mostly talking Embodiments- achieve a threshold and stick to it. If you were to seriously battle Radiance inside your soul world and sacrifice a few memories you’d undoubtedly prevail, Orion probably wouldn’t stand a chance either; now the reasons why we had to stab Athena was… first’’

Her index shot up as her adorable vulpine ears wiggled, despite the subject matter of bringing harm and potentially killing her dear retainer she seemed rather spirited. Joy at the positive outcome?

‘’Radiance can’t simply jump over, while touching the sword is enough for communication that’s also her limit’’

‘’Couldn’t you stab somewhere not vital, then?’’

His comment – held with perhaps a bit too much gruff reproach- sent her big ears flats for a few seconds as the dancing and twirling blonde tails hugged the length of her arms and legs, something akin to frustration light up momentarily inside Tsukiyomi gaze but she shook her eyes, making the vulpine limbs twitch back up.

‘’Heart and brain’’

She touched her forehead and the area around her breast after speaking.

‘’These organs are the most in tune with your soul, we needed to create a shock while the pathway – in this case the sword- was plunged deep enough for Radiance to properly enter Athena soul without her consent. I won’t deny or hide it, me and Ame consented to the plan, we were willing to see her die in order to save you’’
Her jaw tightened in silence afterward as a sigh escaped her nostrils while her hands disappeared inside the luscious blond fur of one of her tail, this maiden was certainly used to shouldering guilt and walking the hard paths and ,even now, no hint of emotions showed through the stubborn mask.

Siegfried was tempted to melt away this stress in a teasing kiss but a lingering part of reasons told him to stay his intention ‘’Do I forgive her, and everyone that accepted the death of Athena?’’

Perhaps this is the kind of resolution best left to be taken after a night rest.

‘’The girl you brought proved herself.’’

‘’Oh? Leila?’’

‘’Yes’’

Tsukiyomi nodded, obviously glad to change the subject and relaxed into her usual imperious stance that nearly brushed with smugness, is there such a thing as being too much in control? Siegfried couldn’t help but ask himself this question time and again with this peculiar fluffed one.

‘’She started injecting Holy into the wound after Radiance passed over, this quickly prompted Hadraniel and Zechariah to imitate and follow her steps to prevent the internal bleedings and minimize the damage of the sword while Daiyu used just enough corruption to prevent poisoning; they were merely using magic to brute force a solution and buying as much time as possible, but they succeeded. You saw how she ran without a care in the world, I really am grateful although… I don’t know how to show it’’

Leila Xenon was a relative enigma to Siegfried; she had confided in him a few days ago inside the church camp, the game of intrigues with the High Inquisitor distracted much of the attentions Siegfried ought to have given her. Would Zipangu be able to give her this long sought after purpose she’s been so relentlessly seeking back with the church? Leila sacrificed much for this betrayal, her mentors were Hieronymus Lex and Ismael, High General and talented bodyguard (whom you suspect may very well be the Embodiment of Justice), while the depths of the relationship is unknown; to underestimate this would be the height of heresy and, once he saw her tired, adorable form sleeping inside the arms of Mylen a small cracked his lisps as he turned back to look at the Queen-Mother, who had just finished her own little peek.

To suffer from overcast and still have the courage to use enough magic to strain oneself require no end of courage and dedication.

‘’I don’t think she ever had a proper mother figure’’

This statement (nothing more than a provocation) is surprisingly effective for the fluffy queen-mother, her long furred ears shit up straight once more as she turned her head toward the blond one last time before settling back, gazing at Siegfried with a slight frown toward his growing smug smile.

‘’I see’’

A simple answer and, taking this as his queue, mister Shieffer stepped forward to give her a quick little peck on the lips; while he may indeed have doubts over her pragmatism, it’d seem that doesn’t stop feelings from springing to life and right before she melted and sought further, deeper treatments the northman stepped back while pinching the tip of her lively tail, provoking a nervous twitch.

‘’O-oi… what give…’’

‘’Tomorrow, make some time with Daiyu, I have something very, very important to share’’

‘’Ah…’’

Caught in his unnatural magnetism, Tsukiyomi-no-Mikoto was at a lost for all of two seconds before words and purpose came rushing back as some of her tails jiggled behind her.

‘’Of course’’

A simple answer to a simple demand, the news surrounding the Beast was something that needed sharing despite his reluctance, thankfully, their discussions ended once Athena Pàla re-entered the library while dragging an obviously reluctant Sylphis who, in turn, was pushed by an Oomukade. Such scene happen a little too often once these women can actually be at peace, thankfully it was enough for Tsukiyomi to avoid asking for details and the young man excused himself to join the growing group after feeling up one of the white tip of Tsukiyomi bushy tails, mingling here and there while Sylphis stood beside Athena like a sulky child while Bletsia zeroed in on Emeth, who for some reason, was actively observing a blob-like entity rubbing itself on her palms, the tiny girl looked just as interested as she took a keen attention in the golem square, bright red eyes. Some brief magical burst would happen form Emeth as she activated her holy runes, however the area around her hand would grow dim while the entirety of the slime body became thick with bubbles, she then quickly proceeded to yelp various excited ‘’Oh!’’ as she somehow managed to gather enough momentum to jump up and down despite her semi-solid nature, landing perfectly back on Emeth cupped hands.

What fascinating indigenous communications.

Events were to go another way however when the fluttery presence of a golden butterfly made itself known retreating behind some crystals bookcase behind the Demon Lord who wasn’t allowed to be left out of the girly group, Mylen had also been forced to hold the sleeping Leila and Siegfried found it increasingly difficult to look her in the eyes, each time the somber maiden would turn to look at him with her usual mixture of reluctance and purpose he’d feel the most potent of painful jolt squeezing his heart; coupled with exhaustion keeping himself from grimacing would soon be impossible and, while exploring the nature of the soul merge ought to be the next steps of business the girls themselves had no intentions of imposing matters in this early morning and forced the idea of sleep, with Athena taking charge to prepare the ‘’room’’, obviously sleeping in a big pile of mattress was an unneeded understatement.

--

While plans were finalised and the group slowly trickled out a few minutes after Ame and Tsukiyomi departure (no doubt to deal with the queen rather unique sleeping arrangements) the young man briefly excused himself to disappear behind the bookcases, three of them had been literally speared midpoint by a particularly potent crystal javelin ending all the way into the wall, contaminating it with its strange minerals, transforming two halves of furniture into brilliant blue decorations rooted on the ground while powder of gold flickered briefly, leading the young man further in where the butterfly was safely nested atop one of the higher shelves, sheltered from view as the girls and retainers still lingered inside, namely Mylen, Emeth and Hadraniel (the poor angel was trying to convince the succubus to move, but she would have none of it, even with the burden of the Purifier carried like a princess).
>>
Obviously they were waiting, the wee hours of the morning along with total exhaustions blurred Siegfried vision, thankfully a few hard blinks and rubs cleared away the tears as he stared for a moment at the majestic little brilliant insect, its small wing looked solid and thick as if carved out of molten gold while a few darker circles decorated its length, its incessant timid back and forth seemed to carry the words of Mother Earth, as her voice resonated in his head like a lovely whisper empty of enmity.

‘’Heeerooo~’’

Spoken with a low sultry whisper Siegfried almost felt like the insect was trying to seduce him telepathically, he simply stared in disbelief, frowning at the golden thing in front of him, something so abrupt almost made him miss the pinch of guilt – almost- and that is why he was reduced to silence, unable to return the good cheer of the goddess.

‘’Oooh that’s sad, you always got embarrassed when I greeted you like that…’’

The college of magi wasn’t a kind place for young Siegfried Shieffer, doubly so after the events with the Yukionna and, before long, dear mother became his only playing partner and, after delving deeper into the history of the heroes, re-enacting historical battles rapidly became his favorite kind of game, which inevitably spawned a certain embarrassing greeting.

‘’That’s nostalgic…’’

He couldn’t help but let these words out, Siegfried childhood was over much, much too soon but at the very least his mother was always there even now, with total war on the horizon.

‘’…you came to reminisce?’’

Not that Siegfried would mind, but the stress and efforts of the day had piled to a breaking point.

‘’I’d love to, parents and childs should always bond very early in the morning, right?’’
>>
The butterfly flapped its wings afterward, making a smile spread on the young man as he chose the wisdom of silence as rebuttal, knowing her, speaking further would probably change the subject completely.

‘’Today was a very important day… I’m glad to see you are looking alright, Siggy’’

Mother Earth would definitely wrap her arms around him by now if she could, the only thing she could do then, was to transmits as much motherly love as she could through her tone and Siegfried certainly caught it, his heart pinched painfully as he couldn’t hide a brief grimace from showing; such blatant emotions immediately caused an awkward atmosphere, but Mana carried on.

‘’Would you like to accompany me on a stroll outside?’’

‘’A…stroll?’’

‘’Yes, I could use some fresh air. Did you know the Rahall have an outside garden with a dojo? It’ll be nice!’’

Is this some roundabout way to ask for a date? Dear mother would certainly not do something like that, yes she’s most likely hiding something… right?

‘’I’ll come bother you tomorrow if you want, Siggy. I won’t stop you from enjoying whatever’s left of your night’’

The ritual of the sleepover has quickly become something near sacred for mister Shieffer, the pleasure of resting amidst all these lovely women was most likely one of the many reasons why he fought so hard to keep himself and all of them alive, there’s simply nothing better to ward off nightmares and rejuvenate one’s body!

Which will it be however? Accompanying Mother Earth outside will take some time; which in turn likely means that the maidens will sleep and no gentlemen would dare disturb beauties sleeps.

>These organs are the most in tune with your soul, we needed to create a shock while the pathway – in this case the sword- was plunged deep enough for Radiance to properly enter Athena soul without her consent
Since the brain and heart are the two primary organs, why stick the sword through the stomach or intestines?
I know you said that a sufficiently great shock was needed, but that's something that you should have said in addition to what you have here.
It's still deficient in English.
>>
>>32022854

Because plunging a sword in the heart or brain would cause near-instant instant death while the belly cause some agony and is pretty close to the heart as well.

If its deficient, so be it, but i don't want to linger on this anymore.

No, of course they won't stab her in the brain or heart. But what about the space in the torso below the bottom rib and above the kidneys? It's mostly open space on one side without vital organs, and it's deep enough to accommodate just as much of a blade than if you stab into the belly.
Which is further from the heart, I might add.

So he subconsciously knows what happened, but is still unaware consciously of the price he pays every time he elects to use bullshit.

And he liked to pretend he was one of the legendary heroes as a kid? Which one did he play? I'm sure every little kid had a favorite, the hero they really liked in the story. Dwarves, elves, humans, artificial demon lords and angels getting together for some Jolly Cooperation. Though I bet the tales were a bit embellished over the centuries.

Which made him easy to corrupt, which made him the worst option to kill her if he was sent on the mission. Idealism would state that nobody has to die and everyone can be happy.

And that's what she said she wanted. And he could be a big help in that regard as every good girl needs a worthy match. All she had to do was extend her hand whilst reciting poetry about her devotion to love and peace. That's how you get the idealistic ones. They can't be bought, can't really be seduced, but appeal to their ideals and they just melt like butter!

And let's face it people, you'd bang the succubus demon lord too. You so fucking would.

And now he mysteriously dissapeared after walking up on her! I wonder what's he's up too...

I'd rather see Daiyu confined and sealed to the Demon Throne in a permanent state of near death. Unable to act, unable to die, unable to escape; kept alive only because her death would be a bigger problem to deal with.

‘’Tomorrow, then. It’ll be a date’’

It actually took some genuine willpower for the young man to resist the goddess allure; the woman was definitely his mother but as time went on, Siegfried found it increasingly difficult to put the face of Mana Shieffer on the same shoulders of Mother Earth, yet the pain and guilt that should linger on after the recent loss was nowhere to be found, his heart was glad and his own shoulders freed of that sad burden each time she interacted with him, all but reinforcing convictions that Mana wasn’t dead, yet Mylen was a grim, stark reminder of the opposite; the succubus was obviously grieving and, even if secrecy was needed, it was too damn unfair to endure for much longer.

‘’Hehehehe, tomorrow huh?’’

While these thoughts swirled inside his head, they came to a rather abrupt stop upon hearing the mischief of the tone accompanying the statement, the butterfly even flickered and flapped its wing, as if attempting some kind of provocation.

‘’Please don’t tell me you have something planned’’

‘’I do’’

Poor, poor exhausted mister Shieffer could only rub his forehead in dread; from past experiences the ‘’plans’’ of his mother involved copious amount of firework and changed landscape from magma meant to improve the scenery, alternatively she was also a great, great fan of self-made firework and readily indulged a love of pretty explosion during her son birthday, it’s a wonder she’s actually competent in subterfuge, although she’s probably abusing her talents as a goddess…
How could someone like that love woodcarvings?

‘’Please don’t go waking up everyone with an explosion, were all very cranky and nervous with the war and all’’
>>
‘’Siggy…’’

Now she was pouting, the butterfly flapped its wing again in what could only be guessed as disapproval while her tone drifted into a threatening anger that still held enough love to swell his heart.

‘’…I’d like you to rest tonight, alright?’’

Now she was back in the shoes of a concerned family member, her tone even held a hint of sadness which quickly removed the pleasant little atmosphere that ought to have lingered some more. Siegfried furrowed his brow in worry as he stared at the wings of the golden butterfly, silent for his part until prompted to speak after taking some efforts to chase encroaching drowsiness.

‘’Something happened, outside this business with Athena.’’

It wasn’t a question but a statement of fact, the silence Mother Earth gave him merely reinforced this impression, she’d probably be fidgeting with her fingers if goddess still felt stress.

‘’We’ll see each other’s tomorrow, alright?’’

This time the insect was ready to take off. Mother Earth was obviously hiding something, yet pursuing curiosity would also ruin whatever is left of this evening, mister Shieffer still has a promise to keep with an angel.

Yet Mother Earth obviously came with a purpose, to ignore it would leave an annoying nag in the back of his head; what is it that should be done?

First we purge Dereulla an her faction. Once half of the Demon Realm's military has been defeated, we shoot the other half in the back, give Daiyu the Golden Throne treatment, and then eliminate the threat that the Demon Realm poses to Zipang.
So long as the Demon Realm exists, they are a danger to the safety an security of Zipang.

Don't forget what Daiyu did to ensure the unification and rise of the Demon Realm. She's told us that she feels no regret, no sense that what she did was wrong, when she destroyed the elves and dwarves.
She's allied with us because her kingdom is in a civil war and she doesn't have the military power to win; she allied with us because she knows that we can't afford to have Deruella on the throne and will help her. She probably has plans to infiltrate and destroy Zipang from within, that she will activate once the threats of Orion and Deruella have been neutralized.

Oh man, my sides. Good one. Around elves, watch yourselves.

Though I don't think she completely finished the job, same with the dwarves. I remember something about the church keeping the last of their respective kinds extra safe somehow so they don't go extinct or get corrupted like everyone else did.

Dwarves and Elves aren't extinct, they came close, much clsoer than human ever did, reason why the Church is keeping them very very safe, sparing no expense too. Elves and Dwarves fought and died with humanity in the Great Crusade and that's a sacrifice that will never be forgotten.

Also demons are actively keeping themselves away from corrupting them, its one of the few law that is respected accross the board, people that actively target those tw races are hunted down.

Shit happened of course, but demons aren't actively pursuing genocide.

I don't think she'll be able to pull one over on Tsu. Besides, we're linked to her. Pity we can't feel her emotions at the moment but she did seem like a good person. I don't think she's out for world domination, just world peace.

And sex, lots and lots of sex. Seriously I can see her as a madame for a whole global chain of brothels filled with monstergirls offering the whole gamut of debauchery when this is all over. And she'd be nice to the girls, never allowing them to be mistreated. Anyone who does treat them ho's badly gets rekt by the fuck mothering Demon Lord.

World peace through the destruction, conquest, or infiltration of every other nation on the planet.
She did it twice before, to the dwarves and elves, and tried a third time against Zipang.
Tsu, for all of the abominations she had a hand in creating, only did it to volunteers, and she didn't oversee wholesale genocide, unlike Daiyu.

We only need her alive; once Deruella's threat is neutralized, we won't need Daiyu around either.

Man you are one ruthless motherfucker. I can respect that, but as a rather idealistic person I find such measures distasteful. Besides, it can all be resolved with a geis. Just have her say the words "I will never attempt to conquer another nation through any means" and bind her. If she really is a good girl she'll admit to the terms.

Besides, even once we kill Deruella one of her surviving devotees might come back to bite us years later if Daiyu isn't around to put them down. Don't forget who we're dealing with on that front. Those bitches would die for her. One already has!

Gismore Shieffer always described Mana as a virtuoso of self-control, someone so closed that he could barely discern her intents even when balls of magmas ruptured the ground, for Siegfried however, the term ‘’open book’’ wouldn’t be enough to describe the telltale signs of her tones and body that always betrayed troubles kept at bay; a goddess she may be, she certainly couldn’t escape inquisitive ears, whatever she was hiding was important enough for her to manifest herself, most likely out of schedule.

‘’I know your hiding something, mother, it wouldn’t do you any good to keep it to yourself’’

‘’…I… I’ve been too focused on observing the Church camp’’

Subtle hints of emotions and regrets, goddess she is, Mother Earth is her tittle, yet she never pretended omnipotence and now, more than ever, even with small voices and subtle hints of a golden butterfly, she appeared as human as the time she stood before him in the past, revolted by his butcheries.

‘’Even so, I’d prefer to speak outside’’

‘’Can you, at the very least, please tell me what it is that’s troubling you, mommy?’’

‘’Ack! No fair!’’

‘’Mommy’’ is most unbecoming for a fully grown young man to use, but it also was the one (of the many) weakness of dear Mana that always, always made her forgive pranks and misbehaviour when she really shouldn’t; the college was certainly an experience.

And now to obliterate whatever resistance she had, his finger wiggled gently on one of the big, solid golden wing of the butterfly, sending a brief electric jolt down his limb throughout his entire hand.

‘’I don’t want to ruin your sleep…’’

But whatever reluctance she had was gone.

‘’Fine, but I’d like you to come with me tonight.’’

A little pause, obviously weighting her options one last time’’

‘’Deruella has made her move’’

That does seem to be the consensus.

It's about Deruella. In all likelihood the leader of the radical rape train faction. Demons, Fallen Maidens, that knife we pretty much handed her on a silver platter, troops, the girl has resources. Resources she intends to use to make everywhere into a 24/7 orgy and has learned her lessons from Lescatie.

Whatever "move" she made, you can be sure it isn't good for anyone. Us especially, kind of earned grudge points with the whole Drill Spike through Noscrim's heart thing. She wants to hurt us for that.

For an instant fatigue disappeared under a cold sweat of dread as speechlessness reduced the charismatic young man into a nervous puppet, it took longer than usual to recover properly and he almost choked on his saliva while opting for a grimace to hide his demeanors as much as possible, his finger moved under the golden butterfly, gently lifting it, then opted to place it on his shoulder.

‘’What did she do?’’

‘’…Come with me outside, alright? Don’t worry, I’ll mask my presence, somewhat, just hope we don’t run into Tsu or Daiyu’’

‘’I hate suspense’’

‘’I know, but that’s what I want. No negotiation’’

Whatever bad news about to erupt seem to be able to wait long enough for this at least, Siegfried grunted in protest but complied fast and already set out, rounding the corner of crystal bookshelf and nearly screamed in surprise when he came face to face with a certain someone.

‘’Siggy’’

‘’Emeth!’’

With his heart aflutter and emotions battling in his heart, the poor fatigued young man could only rub his temple to fight an encroaching headache, the girl was oblivious to his plight of course, the total absence of stimulation from the link was far from helping in settling down properly, but once her head tilted in interrogation, a smile spread on Siegfried face while Mother Earth little insect flapped its wing gently, a brief surge of magic finished to calm down his emotions while removing the pain.

‘’Siggy?’’

She asked again, the entire library had been deserted now, Mylen and Hadraniel having taken off while leaving Emeth by her lonesome, the girl had likely insisted on staying anyway and now, Shieffer put a hand on her shoulder and squeezed gently, making the smaller golem reciprocate, sparing the butterfly by a few centimeters.

‘’I’d like you to go to the room, alright? Tell Hadraniel I’ll keep my promise, but not tonight I’m afraid. I need to go outside. Don’t worry, I’ll be safe, I really need you to finish this mission’’
There was no resistance from the golem, none was expected of course and after his sentence she straightened her head while observing him, barely blinking and totally emotionless; her voice came with the sharp clear cut impression of a guillotine.

‘’Your lying’’

Then, as if nodding to herself, her big square eyes narrowed slightly and she let go.

‘’I will accomplish my mission.’’

And, just like that, she walked out on her lonesome with a confident, solid stride.

‘’Did I piss her off…?’’

Siegfried couldn’t’ help but wonder, to which his mother replied.

‘’Maybe, a maiden heart is confusing, doubly so for an awakened golem.’’

--

The bowels of corridors and room of the mansions coupled with night servants, guard and even a few passing mantises felt like a blur for the young man, his body and mind were protesting each step for rest and solace but the uneasiness of his lonesome heart was enough to transform desperation into energy; it was a damn shame that a soul merge didn’t act like a link, for Athena own emotional balance would definitely help him out greatly. He could only realize how potent and precious these links truly were after being gone, his inevitable weakness were already healed by the empathy, love and simple stability of all the maidens, now however, was the time to stand alone.

As alone as a man with an internal demon and a goddess-butterfly on his shoulder could be, at any rate. Mother Earth showed some pushiness by having him steal (yes literally, steal) a blanket off an empty bed of the infirmary, fault of finding an actual cape. Many an eye glanced at the young man with a pristine white sheet rolled under his arm as he made his exit toward the barracks, well past the point of caring for anyone opinion.

Surprisingly, there was close to no soldiers inside or patrolling around them, while several lanterns totting halberd plated cats greeting him politely despite his rather unique, gruff demeanors most of the area was dead, dead silent; it was only Mother Earth that guided him gently toward his destination, a beaten path toward the eastern wall seemed to continue on its own, a simply curved with increasingly encroaching vegetation led toward an open air spot of relaxation that was undoubtedly a garden, a what a garden it was.

Flowers, glowing flowers extended in a giant circles, blue and mauve colored tulips and roses gently stretched toward the sky, emanating faint vibrating magic while tiny golden fireflies exiting their nexus like a flying nectar, some trees had also been planted toward the east and west, three of them surrounded a rather spacious rectangular closed edifice where the majority of the trail, dirt path led to. It felt like a clearing, but just small enough to be considered a proper garden, the magic of the flower momentarily caught his attention as he scoped down, running a finger on the petals of a glowing blue tulips that seemed to react, the plant let out a brief burst of tiny dust gold which floated to the sky.

‘’These are the Everblue. Flowers native to Zipangu imprinted in magic, they take it from the very world and ground and reject a concentrated form back to the sky, as you can see.’’

The butterfly finally snapped its wings to fly, forming a tiny spiral around the biggest concentration of flowers, snapping Siegfried out of his brief wonders.

‘’Mother…?’’

‘’Sssh….’’

A gentle coo force him to silence, the plants seemed to react to the golden insect, each of them moved to face upward, opening petals and offering fragile nexus to the outside world as the occasional sprite of gold increased tenfold, then hundred, thousand. A tiny, fragile voice could be heard singing in whisper, as if standing at the very edge of hearing, the entire scene had turned completely surreal so fast that Siegfried bewilderment made him stare in silence, all the tiny brilliant circle flew toward the similarly colored butterfly, the flying avatar of a goddess seemed to grow heavier, its fluttering and wings flaps slowing down as it approached the ground only to completely disappear in the vegetation.

No sound aside from the wind disturbed the ritual now, the voice has grown silent as the magnificent flowers reached the climaxes of their existences and started dying one by one, the bright blue and mauve disappearing completely, replaced by dark, dead brown as every single flaxes had few toward the center of the garden, as if inhaled by a stronger wind.

‘’Mo…?’’

‘’Ah!’’

A fully human body jumped upward with surprising dexterity, a small statured long haired nude woman was standing amidst the dead, facing Siegfried without an ounce of shame, movement causing an inevitable jiggling as she faced her son while forming a ‘’V’’ with two fingers and smiling broadly.

‘’What do you think, Siggy!?’’

There was something in her gaze, the golden eyes showed hint of remorse and sadness trying to hide behind the smile…

Whatever should be done now?

‘’Aheeeeem’’

Mother she may be, being naked in front of her son isn’t something that can be so easily shrugged off, Siegfried looked away with redness encroaching on his cheeks while chasing away some old mythology out of his head.

‘’Ah…’’

The present situation finally sunk in as the woman of gradient hair looked down, examining her body, the clarity of the moon itself was more than enough to illuminate the entire clearing and the poor woman yelped while covering herself as best she could.

‘’T-the sheet!’’

Siegfried complied by throwing the thing her way, unfortunately the item only reached halfway and poor Mother Earth stumbled forward to grasp it, soon meeting a fateful meeting with dirt while crushing the remains of the dead flowers, prompting her son to rush ahead.

‘’I’m sorry! Mother!’’

He quickly founded her struggling to wrap the –now stained- white sheet around her body, showed more skin than ought to be allowed around her legs as she sat, visibly pouting while holding the garment around her shoulder with her hand.

‘’Hmph, you lack elegance for a self-titled gentleman’’

Lacking a rebuttal, the young man instead opted to hug her wholeheartedly, her warm body felt alive and real, the feminine charms pressing against him prompted him to hug even harder; it wasn’t like the time she whisked him away upward in the glorious sky, here, her breathing felt uneven, the warmth of her body, the pulse he could feel from her neck, the gradient hair tangled with dead plants and leaves felt alive and real, not utterly perfect.

‘’H-hey now…’’

‘’You’ve done something irreversible, didn’t you?’’

‘’Not that bad…’’

She pouted again while rolling one of her long strand of her around her index, not even going halfway until the thick hair covered the entire finger.

‘’Incarnation. I’ve made myself a body that will last around five days, that’s what I could pull out of those plants, killed them all as you can see’’

This ritual was the exact same one used by Hadraniel, although the angel took longer and the forest itself sang its demise, here, it was like the garden could only let out a few verses before extinguishing itself.

‘’I know what you’re thinking’’

Mana golden eyes- a bit too close for comfort- glowered as the smile disappeared from her face.

‘’I’m the one that told Hadraniel about this ritual, we met in that forest, she went into the cavern by her lonesome’’

Hadraniel at her full strength was invaluable in the battles that followed the relaxation in the hot spring.

Silence fell afterward, the smaller woman resting her forehead upon her son shoulder as she clutched her sheet tighter, silence soon followed, a long one… that will need breaking

We should ask her what Deruella did and why she incarnated obviously. If she needs a physical form it would logically mean she needs to do some divine intervention.

‘’There are many things I’d like to talk about…but you know what I want to ask already’’

A soft ‘’I know’’ came as answer, the young mother was clearly reluctant of letting go of this closeness but she was also the first to rise to her feet, clinging the sheet hugging her body close; a very poor ward for the cold air of autumnal Zipangu, she kept close to her son, whom diligently took off his coat to put it around her body, earning a heartfelt ‘’thank’’ in response as he also brushed away some of the dead leave. The Everblue were gorgeous flower for the short time he managed to see it and, if Hadraniel experience was anything to go by, Mana would still be feeling the life and deaths of these plants, reduced to nothing more than energy but it would be nothing short of insulting to believe the burden to be lesser.

‘’I’ll show you first, steel yourself’’

‘’Steel…?’’

‘’Yes. Don’t scream, swallow hard, remove the stress from your body, anticipate. Keep cool’’
Her nude arm and hand extended to rub his scalp, which quickly followed toward his cheek, a touch very reminiscent of Tsukiyomi, part of him wondered why it felt the same.

‘’Beside, I’m here, follow me’’

Putting action to word, Mana grasped his hands and tugged forward, not minding the texture of the dirt on her nude feet as she proceeded toward the lonesome building of the garden, the dojo she most likely mentioned earlier. There wasn’t any conversation on the way, Siegfried merely wondered why this felt like a love affair until Mana stopped in front of the door, shaking her long purple-to-gold hair as she turned toward him, clutching her sheet and nodding, eyes of gold honest in their seriousness.

‘’I’ll do a little magic now…’’

She certainly did, a small ball of light sprang from her shoulder blade to hover above her head without any telltale sign of Focus. She then turned the doorknob and stepped inside the door room, immediately blanketed by an unnaturally frigid air.

‘’Hmm!?’’

Siegfried had to stifle his scream of surprise with his hand upon witnessing the scene. Dry blood stained the walls, roof and white tatamis of the large room, two corpse laid around the middle, one being a mantis missing her right scythe, thorax perforated by a trio of javelin while her body showed several slashes from the bloodied sword still held by the single man in the room.

This was the very same person who offered Siegfried the potion of Induced Vampirism all those nights ago, his body laid half naked, kimono open to reveal his entire upper body, skin white and frigid looking as dull, red eyes stared on empty of light. The man had died on his knees, missing his rang hand while the left one still held a katana, body covered in nasty slicing wounds, his garbs all but ruined.

Finally there was one last person, the tatamis around the body had ice over along with the wall and part of the roofs, decorative and practice swords laid strewn around her encased in ice, Cadhla laid dead; the gorgeous woman who was often thought of as a doll finally looked the part, sitting on the ground unmoving, dark hair spilling out sideway as her pale, pale face looked on, empty of that tiniest spark of life, no visible wounds on her body.

Given the yukionna's lack of wounds, she must have either died due to poison or to the use of that Knife.

Also, let's look at the scene.
The mantis has ice javelin perforations and sword wounds, the man has scythe wounds, and the yukionna no wounds. It would appear that it was a fight with the mantis on one side and the yukionna and man on the other.
And we have to take a look at what's missing: the mantis' right scythe and the man's right hand.

On top of this, two of the bodies are in the middle of the room while the yukionna's is against a wall.
The mantis is unlikely to have died because of the sword slashes, but was killed by the ice javelins.
The man looks like he died right before the mantis.

The man also had red eyes, meaning he was significantly corrupted if not a full on incubus or about to become one.

It could also mean he was the vamp pot victim who was in the final stages, went berserk,, and then the whore used the distraction to lay out the yukionna. As that would also mean he was suffering a case of significant corruption.

‘’She’s trying…’’

Siegfried voice wavered as he stared at the body of the Yukionna, Cadhla was a woman he deeply wronged in the past and now, this murder was all but a statement to his failures and grim reminder of his past; he wanted to believe with all his heart that the woman could be saved, made to smile again, idealism to imagine forgiveness even made him ignore the sheer, insulting hypocrisy of such wishes but now, it was unfortunately all gone.

‘’…to drive a wedge between Zipangu and Gwynedd, push the North and Island nation’s apart…’’
Nothing like murdering one of the monstrous leaders who –should- be perfectly safe in an estate of Zipangu. Gods above, what if she managed to get to Fendal…?

‘’But… what killed Cadhla?’’

While the goddess stood still, she gently closed the door once her son was fully inside, the frigid air made her hug the large, overused and damaged coat of her beloved son tighter while he simply ignored it, used to such temperate. His hand touched the body of the woman gently, and with immense care as his heart tightened, he pulled her forward and looked down her back, and saw the mortal wound; a stab on her back behind the heart, another one on her right kidney and a last one in the middle of her spine. She probably had no chances to react, a most efficient backstabs; yet those wounds should not be enough to kill of Yukionna matron.

‘’The dagger…’’

Could it be retribution for killing Wilmarina? Mana gently crouched beside him, putting her free hand on his shoulder and squeezing gently before placing the body back to its original position.

‘’This scene isn’t all that happened tonight. She struck with everything she had.’’

‘’What…?’’

‘’Siegfried, are you familiar with Machitehew?’’

He didn’t even bother trying to pronounce it, on the hand she definitely showed impressive locution.

‘’You know that Zipangu about religion, right? The worship of ancestors and devotion to very powerful individuals, like the water dragon, Tsukiyomi could also be treated as a living god. Machitehew was a beast of the olden days, a remnant of the Age of Pretenders ’’The Evil Mountain’’ that great Orochi fought and sank under the sea’’

‘’I didn’t… really bother to look at old history’’

His response felt like another failing, but Mother Earth shook her head gently and nearly let go of her drape, instead settled to put her forehead against his while tickling the side of his eyes to force his stare forward.

‘’Of course not, you have a war to fight, she had years to plan. Unravel old myths and find the truth with Blood Magic, this murder is a red herring, one meant to slow us down or possibly weakens us. To make a long story short, Siegfried, the water dragon you know as Orochi fought with the Evil Mountain at the dawn of time or, to be more accurate, during a time which magic could shape continents. That struggle created Zipangu, however the Old Demon Lord reawakened that beast, and the heroes forced it back to sleep with the help of the water serpent. And now Deruella is attempting the very same, thank once more, to Blood Magic, before that however, there was the seal to worry about’’

‘’Its… it’s hard to follow, there was a murder right now and…’’

What could link this gruesome loss of life with monsters of old myth that slowly became part of religious texts? Siegfried stared at his mother, in turn she stared back in utmost seriousness, yet still tenders enough to rub his cheek constantly in a warm, loving fashion, as if the corpses were nothing more than decoration.

‘’After the Great Crusade, Tsukiyomi moved to rule the land as you know, helped by all – all- the nine tailed Kitsunes of the world. The seal of Machitehew was the very first thing they took care off; four bloodlines whom knowledge’s would only be privy to a few rulers. Tsukiyomi knew of one, the Rahal knew of another, the Onis knew of the third and last one was made by the Kitsunes outside Tsukiyomi knowledge and sent abroad. All in order to protect the seal and keep the entity asleep.’’

‘’Did she!?’’

Mana didn’t nod, instead her she but her bottom lip.

‘’Showing ought to be better. Look into my eyes.’’

‘’Mimi, you know it’s unbecoming to stuff yourself like that’’

Mieko Amaya was a mother before a priest; her shrine had seen a strange surge of activity in the last few days, not only did a young man with a mantis briefly stayed in the humble shrine for a few moment, but a young kid had been found starving by a few visiting villagers, the days before the war had been nice, quiet and easy; men, couples and lone monsters always came every day to her ancestral shrine to pray while leaving offering to the old, disused wooden box. This charity was her sole means of funds and the generosity was surprising, even the mantis that came every weeks left money and prayed on their lonesome, although now the war had significantly reduced activity and, of course, given her position with the cult, her lone daughter had to be put to safety and sent away toward the capital; a nice blond (scared, likely from fire) human woman accompanied by a company of cats saw her out right on the breakthrough of conflicts.

What a shame indeed, Liliana and little Mimi had become fast friend; the little girl with rose colored hair seemed to have forced her way inside the Amaya household and family, bickering endlessly with the younger Shiroheibi while Mieko watched on in a mixture of joy and amusement, if there’s one thing this old snake couldn’t resist, it was taking care of young energetic kids.

‘’Well I… you know I like it! Beef, rice, and vegetables all together are too good to pass up! I don’t know how you make this green stuff good, but you did mama!’’

‘’Mama… Hehehe…’’

Bashful reply from the priestess as she held her face with her hands, swinging left and right as the large scaled tail seemed to vibrate from pure joy, until.

‘’Nnngk!?’’

Young Mimi was hugging the older monster close, or at least, that’s how it appeared; small dagger rested in her equally smaller hand, forcing the cold steel deep in the white priestess body, then jerked the knife upward.

‘’Sorrysorrysorrysorrysorrysorrysorrysorry’’

A nervous litany of words soon became a garbled mess as the murderous child cried on afterward while pushing the older snake on the ground, then wiggling herself toward her throat. Mieko could – should- fight, the wound was destabilising but not enough to completely rob her but… the girl of ruby eyes was crying a river, heavy spasms wracked her body and Mieko now, felt worried that her poor heart would stop and thus, she wrapped her hand around little Mimi and squeezed her, staining the corrupted maiden in blood.

‘’Mimiru… Mimiru Miltie. Not Mimi, sorry, mama.’’

In turn, Mieko said her last words.

‘’I’m happy… you called me mama’’

Gunda Shig was a woman as slow tempered as her name . Onis believed in strength above all and nothing projected this ideal like her own martial temple passed down from her mother, in turn it’d go to her own child in time; to pursue strength was to seek excellence above all, to be unraveled in the heavens. The weight of her bloodlines never escaped Gunda, but she believed the best way to protect it was to pursue this ideal – and now, the vastness of the world would prove her wrong.

‘’Dammit… god…’’

Blood trickled down the red Onis mouth, camouflaging itself with her skin as she was brought to her knee using the spiked club as leverage, thorax, arms and legs riddling with bleeding and perforated wound as the pale skinned maiden slithered, forward, dark scaled body of a snake replacing her legs while the inner parts was a dark carmine mingling with all the blood of the temple. The challenger was wounded as well, her right shoulder had been dislocated from a potent blunt strike and a few of her ribs had to be fractured as blood trickled down her lisps.

‘’Your name!’’

Gunda bellowed, striking her chest and lifting herself upward, blood rushing out from both actions; she didn’t mind, this was the fight of her lifetime.

In response, the challenger smiled and hefted her polearm, even one handed the damn snake was agile and strong with the weapon.

‘’Meruse Taskaros’’

No hint of pain despite the wound, her tone was a perfect flow of honey as she started her dancing movements that eluded every single one of her pupils, and her as well.

Yet this oni was satisfied, this fight was everything she could ever ask for.

‘’It’s been around three days now, thank for having me for so long’’

‘’It’s alright, this is what this establishment is for. I’m sorry about the state of the forest’’

‘’Hehehe, please you’ve apologized once each day, the hot spring is more than healing enough’’

Cadhla was known by another name in this name but she didn’t held much attention to it; Yukionna are rare outside Gwynedd for obvious reason but her coming to Zipangu meant discarding the past, although part of her yearned to meet her older sister one last time but this establishment was enough; Tsukiyomi funded everything even after she broke the pact to stay away from Zipangu in order to keep the seal safe, this land felt much more natural than the snowy fields of Gwynedd…

‘’I’ll most likely be heading out tomorrow morning’’

Her visitor was a tailed fox, one whose fur was similarly colored to the queen while her tails numbered a simple three, but her long dark hair was a beautiful contrast to the fur, something the Kitsune was acutely aware off as she constantly took care of this dark waterfall of silk.

‘’Explored the forest thoroughly?’’

Cadhla tilted her head at the question, although soon turned around as she heard the door open, a new visitor inside; a woman as well, another one that would easily make any man fall without trying; yet she seemed to be garbed in a style similar to the continent priests, only her long green hair and brightly red eyes gave way to the true nature of the woman – a monster- one with corruption to boot but nothing obvious, even so, young Cadhla raised her guard as a prickle of nervousness tickled the back of her neck.

It was pure reflexes that allowed the snowy maiden to dodge the coming dagger, the stab was changed into a skillful slice midway that wounded her side rather painfully but surprise and anger was more than enough to beat the pain.

‘’What the hell are you doing here!?’’

Her visitor had changed – irreversibly so-. White fur became a deep jet black as tails appeared behind her, one after another, enough to create a large pack of night-colored appendage, standing straight and rigid behind her as she tskt’d in annoyance.

‘’Sasha, watch the exit’’

‘’Yes yes, need to be quick, yes?’’

‘’Amanomiya Koyoi!’’

A name well known to Zipangu – the only fully human Hero produced by the island- corrupted and changed by the demon realm.

The nine tailed Inari simply gave a smug smile in return.

‘’I knew you’d be the most fun, don’t disappoint now’’

The very air around Cadhla responded to the provocation, snow swirled all around her like a protective mini-tornado, each flaxes growing sturdier, sharp.

‘’I have a sister to meet!’’

Fuck fuck fuck fucking FUCK! The bitch is trying to unleash a spawn of hell so powerful even the people during that lost age shat brix!? And Amanomiya has nine tails now and she has the S-Rank Loli and Dark Priest too!?

Oh fucking swell, she just unleashed a can of rape up our collective assholes with no intent of stopping with just the one can. This bumps up the priority on Deruella's murder quite a bit. There are now two things we absolutely cannot allow to happen no matter the cost.

The first is that nuke going off anywhere but the swamp. Though I bet our plan feeds right into hers, a good trade route would also equal a good invasion route. I bet the smug gigawhore is laughing her ass off right now. Her only regret is losing Noscrim, which she'll pay us back for by making Gwynedd the dark entity's first target after Zipangu is a rape-filled ruin. Then conquering the world a lot faster thanks to us opening up that passageway.

The second is her breaking that seal. If that thing gets out we might as well be sounding the trumpets of Armageddon.

I'm all in on this now. I don't care if Siggy becomes an empty shell anymore. I might not even care if he lives anymore. So long as those two things do NOT happen and that bitch is so dead she died to death I'm happy. He better get a fucking legend out of this one if he pulls it all off an lives. Dude definitely would qualify for being in the Throne of Heroes if he does. Man might just do what he did as a kid. Play the fuck mothering hero that saved the world.

Damn, this is all pretty fucking epic. Kudos dude.

Here's a sneak peek of the Evil Mountain

Glad your enjoying it, we are on our way to the ending folks. Prophecy is about to break, or be fulfilled soon enough.

FUCK! We hosed, so fucking hosed unless we stop her. No wonder mommy chose the risky step of incarnating and thus being vulnerable to the knife. But does that mean we get to use her as a card in our scheeming? She's here now, the powers of a true goddess would really help us out here. If we can find the nuke she can just will it to the place we want it to be and probably set it off too. Provided Orion isn't there to stop her, which would be where we came in. I doubt he'll listen to reason so we are going to pretty much bait him into a fight. And while he fights us and our hot babes...

But back to my point. She knows what I know, we can NOT allow that fucker to break free. No matter fucking what.

In a way, I wonder if this "alternative" route is working out for her in a big way. The previous routes must have left her missing something important or her and her posse getting offed before the plan's completion. Yet here, aside from Noscrim eating a totally not Caladbolg like Siggy was fucking Ice Mage Archer, things are going so well that she can't help but jump for joy. I'm right aren't I? We're so fucked.

I want her dead, I want the fallen dead, I want everyone who thinks she has a point dead. I want dead whores piled to the fucking moon and back. We must purge them. Purge them all. Never rest until every last one of the fuckers who swear fealty to her die horribly. Pierce their fucking clits before we swiss cheese their brains for maximum pain! Die motherfuckers die!

This Alternative route definetly gave her an oppotunity she never really had in the other timeline.

5 Monsters, one daugtheru and a young man have been ruthlessly killed tonight during Athena exorcism.

That's enough for Mother Earth to try intervening directly

And that confirms my worst fears. Orion is like the "gear-check" boss. Hits like a freight train, enrages quickly, but you can manage if you and your boys can do likewise hard enough.

Only this gear check is fucking hard, everyone has to be geared to the gills to stand a chance. Or you can outright cheat, which Siggy has just gained the capacity to do. At a steep price yes but to blatantly ignore the "laws" of magic well, that's so close to cheating you might as well be. Too bad that Big-O Final Stage or a real hardcore sell of the Caladbolg reference will cost us a very dear memory, but damn is that shit effective! BOOOOOOOOM! Eat it bitch.

She's the annoying puzzle boss that requires the raid to do the right shit at the right time. Fuck up and everyone dies due to bullshit no matter how much brute force you have.

And even after all that, the beast is still contending for control of our body. Damn we are so fucked. It's glorious! Such stacked odds get my blood flowing, bring it!

Well all is not lost, Kyorn has the potential to keep the last seal alive wich would ruin her parade.

About time the man lived up to his title. I hope that, if he pulls through, the people wishing for him to die will shut up. I like the dude, and a controllable berserker-class servant is something one should want to keep around. He still needs to have his own happy end. Alraune, ghost, half-angel knife eared threesome. Can I get an Amen!

>>32031664
I like it. But if I were the MC I'd have already confessed to that wonderful vampiric waifu material. I don't normally like the "dim" girls, but she's just so nice and shit I can't help but break my own rules on what I'd tap.

He always dude, he's been taking care of the things Tsu, Ame and haddy couldn't without rubbing it in anyone's face.

At this point, Siggy is gonna be channeling Shinji it seems. He won't care what happens to him, he won't care what happens to the world. Give him what he wants, give him his happy ending!

This wild ride doesn't have much left to it. Might very well see the end of it by September.

That'd be fine if it's all pulled off right. I've said before that this quest is NGE for perverts. We're going where all the MGE fuckers say we should. All of this is suffering incarnate, and our poor MC is smack dab in the middle of it all.

Poor sorry idealist, can he really get what he wants given the odds stacked against him? He just wants everyone to be alive and happy, with him preferably in that group as well. After all, what good is happiness and victory if you can't share it with those you love? Again, man will be worthy of being a legend if he pulls it all off. Here's hoping we can.

>>32032332

He can't pull it off on his own, this is the part where PoV might switch here and there. I do want t ooffer some days of bliss before shit really, really does hit it thought, so... enjoy, my friends.

Oh of course. Our allies are most vital, they are what gives him strength, what gives a reason to keep going. He can't deal with it all on his own, but good thing for him he has people willing to help him with his burden. Good thing as well that he ain't too proud to ask for help. They are THE reason he's lived this long. If he would have been stupid and not relied on them he'd be one dead motherfucker long ago.

But he ain't dumb, he's able to let them help, and is in fact willing to let them take up the burdens he knows he cannot shoulder. I really hope we can get Radiance out of that sword soon. We could REALLY use her here, badly. We need that girl, was one of the driving factors for keeping Leila over getting the knife. Knife is awesome, but the Embodiment of Faith gaining the ability to act again would be even greater in the long run.

Waaaiiiit a second. Now that Athena doesn't have that innate monster corruption I bet she can use human prosthetics.

I know you'll just rip it off of her again but we can enjoy her new arm for a few hours, at least, after she gets one.

Well at least it's only the extremities instead of the Urobutcher's favorite thing to sever... Heads. Seriously, dude loves him some decapitation. I bet his monstergirl waifu is a Dullahan.

To be fair it's not that you enjoy cutting off limbs, you just enjoy our cries of rejoicing. It gives you the most infectious smile.
