19 Benefits

"Artoria-san we're delivering the pervert to you"

"Mm, I'll tell DaVinci" Artoria nodded at Yuri Alpha's words.

"DaVinci he's here the one Shin wanted you to meet"

"Ara~ and just right after he left, here before we go out use this gauntlet"

DaVinci made Artoria use the new Sacred Gear she just made.

"It fits perfectly, I thought this was supposed to be yours?" Artoria looked at the gauntlet as it emitted Holy Energy.

"It was supposed to be mine but I decided it should be yours, I want to see how it interacts with our Noble Phantasms if it'll amplify its powers or not."

"What does this button do?"

"Press it!" DaVinci Yelled in excitement as The gauntlet turned into an exoskeleton suit.

"What happened DaVinci? All I feel is just another Armor?" Artoria said as the gauntlet in her hand turned into an exoskeleton that was hugging her body.

"I heard Shin-san unlocked Avalon in you so you could grow once more fufu~ I have to make some adjustments then, but then again try summoning Excalibur Proto or Rhongomyniad, I based the core of their seals and essences into this Sacred Gear"

DaVinci said as she took her notes, Artoria followed the instructions and took out Excalibur.

"This!? The Holy Energy in the suit is being taken by Excalibur?" DaVinci both looked at the Sword in Artoria's hand as it was already glowing and filled with Holy Energy to the brim.

"Eh?" Artoria was stunned as the Exoskeleton turned back into a gauntlet and the Holy Energy entering Excalibur lowered.

"Ara~ the experiment was a success, The gauntlet state allows you to gather Holy Energy in an indefinite period while using it and that's it, but the exoskeleton allows it to gather at a much faster rate I'm still working on the duration on how long it will last in that state, as for its combat prowess only you will know that's why when you fight later please do use it"

Artoria nodded and gave DaVinci back the gauntlet and both of them went to meet the person the Pleiades captured.

"Oi I'm not spying or anything I was just curious" A man spoke to Epsilon and Gamma.

"Please do keep quiet or we will turn you into dust the same as your subordinates, You're lucky that we do not feel hostile towards you as it was our master's order"

The man raised his eyebrow knowing that they really could do it as he felt that all of them were Ultimate class level.

Sebas soon came in with Artoria and DaVinci.

"You must be their master I presume?"

"Not quite, our master has left and we are to be in charge of the daily affairs of this estate, I'm Artoria Pendragon, The Queen of our masters peerage, This is DaVinci the Bishop" Artoria said as she and DaVinci took their seats together, Artoria signalled for the Pleiades to stand behind them.

"I'm Azazel, the Head of Grigori, you must be The so called 'Holy Devil Queen'"

"If that's what you want to call me then you may, for what reason do you come here?"

"Nothing? I'm just curious as to why this place is full of Holy Energy"

"Well if that is all then we will satiate your curiosity, DaVinci" DaVinci nodded and took out the Gauntlet ands showed it to Azazel.

"We're currently working on a Sacred Gear based on Holy Artifacts we own" Azazel's eyes widened as he compared his and their sacred gears.

"Tell me, have you achieved balance breaker?" Azazel wanted to know since it could help him in making his stronger.

"Balance Breaker? What is that?" DaVinci looked at Azazel with confusion.

"Its a much stronger state to be put in simpler terms"

"Oh? Well We don't do that here" DaVinci laughed and gave it to Artoria.

Artoria took it and pressed the button once more.

"Thats!" Azazel looked at the gauntlet that turned into an exoskeleton Armor

"If this is what you would call a balance breaker then I'm sorry to disappoint, I'm developing it to more powerful states than the so called Balance breaker and it has more than one state"

"May I look at your notes? I'll make a deal" Azazel now wanted to have a deal with them as it was the first time he has seen such things.

"Sure, let's proceed" Artoria then depowered herself and gave the gauntlet back to DaVinci.

Inside the Castle of Haramak a fervent discussion was taking place.

"With two commanders gone I say we take the fight to them!" The Star of Avaritia shouted

"Calm down we just incurred losses even I don't want to fight them much" Cinzia said her opinion.

"But we now have three! Three people that could match the Commanders in Power!" Philip Muller the Apostle of Avaritia fired back

"This isn't like you Philip, I though you'd be much more rational than this" Cinzia told him.

"He's not wrong though" Hao Win sounded

"Why so?"

"Think of it properly, The Guy decimated their army in a couple of seconds, the woman took out a commander in a flash, while the other looked like a Battle Saint that can't be killed" Hao win cooly said as he stated his opinion.

"So if the Triads are in support of this Idea I say Sicila should pressure him as well!" Philip fervently shouted as this was the most opportune time to strike.

"And what would you do if he suddenly turned his back against us?" Cinzia questioned them once more.

"I!"

"See, he's an unknown variable"

Soon the doors opened revealing Shin,

Scáthach and Jeanne

"So what do you need of me to do?" Shin said as he sat down nonchalantly as Scáthach and Jeanne stood behind him.

"We want you to eliminate the parasites" A man with a spear sounded.

"Oh? If I remember correctly you're Seol Jihu? The Star of Gula, well tell me what benefits would I gain?"

The room turned Icy when they heard Shin's words.

"I'll be honest here, I won't help the Parasites, but I also won't help you guys either as I am human and naturally humans are selfish. I only moved today since I was told to by Luxuria herself." Shin crossed his arms as he looked at everyone.

"I assume every time you move you have a price?" Cinzia wanted to confirm this.

"Naturally, consider today a free trial if you will"

"But it's your duty as an Apostle of Luxuria!" Jihu shouted at Shin's words angered by someone being so selfish.

"I am an Apostle of Luxuria, but I didn't say I was this planet's apostle, she is" Shin pointed at Seo Yuhui.

"Then as a Human shouldn't this be your obligation as well!?" Jihu slammed the table with his spear.

"Since when did I owe this place? I just arrived yesterday"

"We could threaten your family back on earth you know" Shin just laughed at Hao Win's threats.

"Well before you could do that I could also eliminate yours as well as I don't have my powers restricted there."

Everyone was suddenly in Shock as they heard that he could move against them back on earth and they can't do nothing about it.

"Now tell me, what benefits would I gain from this? I don't want to sweat on the small stuff"

Shin then put his elbows on the table and covered his mouth with his hands while looking at the rest of the people present.

Everyone was silent until A Pink haired princess talked.

"Me! You'll have me and this kingdom!"

"Princess Teressa!" The Kingdom's council finally sounded after hearing their princess talk.

"Interesting, but I already have wives, though I wouldn't mind one more"

"I agree then Eliminate them now!" Teressa shouted as she had lost too many people and seeing his power she wanted to offer herself in exchange.

"Denied, I need not for such small benefits for a large task, you'll just use me"

"No! You'll be King, if you save this world then I won't say a thing against what you would do to me so please!"

"I'll keep that in mind then, but that doesn't say I agree now"

"I have a request" Seo Yuhui finally spoke.

"What is it?" Shin was interested as he knew the consequences of being an Apostle of Lust.

"Not of you but to the people here to leave us alone, just both of us"

"Noona!" Jihu protested.

"Hm? Sure you can also have someone accompany you"

"Then I will" A woman in white robes stood up and went behind Yuhui.

"No, I want to be alone as this is a private matter between apostles so I request everyone to leave."

"But Yuhui!" The woman told her silently

"Please Haeju, I request everyone to please accept my demands"

"If it's talk between Apostles then I won't say much" Cinzia stood up then left, she was followed by the others.

"Please think about my offer" Teressa went near Shin before leaving along with the rest of them.

"If you dare do something against her I'll kill you!" Jihu went near Shin and threatened him

"Try me! You can't even last against a single commander let alone me" Shin activated his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception to scare Seol

"Scáthach, Jeanne I believe we should follow her request"

Soon only Yuhui and Shin were alone.

"What did you want to talk to me about privately?"

"Are you really an Apostle of Luxuria?" Yuhui asked

Shin then used his Divinity he gained from

Luxuria which prompted Yuhui to pant and turn hot.

"Does that answer your question?"

"Y-yes"

"So tell me what benefits do I gain?"

"A key to grant you a wish of anything should you desire" Yuhui focused her breathing as she was having trouble and was squirming around.

"A wish? But I assume that Wish can't give what I want as it does have its limits isn't that right Luxuria?" After Shin said that a Silhouette of a woman appeared behind him.

"Must you be so Cruel to them? You already took 4 Divinities out of the 14" Yuhui was shocked as this was the first time she saw her manifest.

"I can also see fate and my appearance hasn't changed anything am I right?"

"Partly, though you concealed your presence the Parasite Queen will adjust her plans accordingly after the stunt you pulled yesterday"

"Then shouldn't they be more thankful for me? As I gave them enough time to move and do the things they can"

"Can you at least tell her?"

"Hmm? I think she already understood the Moment I released your Divinity"

"Then I'm sorry for her and the Gula's boy" Luxuria soon turned into particles of light leaving them alone once more.

"Now what can YOU offer me?" Shin then looked at Yuhui

"I can't promise you anything" She understood what Shin emphasised

"Then I'll leave now as there is nothing to be gained right now" Shin soon gave Yuhui a paper and made it float towards her.

"Rip it apart if you need help, but by then I hope you're ready for the price you have to pay"

"What do you really want?" Yuhui said as she took the paper just in case.

"Me? I told you I'm selfish naturally I also have desires and as a fellow Embodiment of Lust first and foremost what do you think?" Shin looked at Yuhui in front of him.

"Thats!"

"I'm glad you finally understood"

"Then why didn't you accept the Princess offer?"

"I'll accept it soon enough but not now same as you, now I'll leave as I want to explore this world" Shin then snapped his fingers the door opened revealing Scáthach, Jeanne and the others.

Seol Jihu and Baek Haeju Soon stormed in as they saw the state Yuhui was in.

"I hope you think it thoroughly" Shin then created a golden portal in front of them Jeanne and Scáthach followed him.

"What happened!?" Jihu shouted

"Nothing, its just that he is the real embodiment between us" Yuhui replied to Jihu

Haeju instead looked at the portal wondering if she could join their trip as she felt it was an excursion of some sort.

—————-

"Come let's hunt down some of them I want to create a base of operations while we also hunt the treasures here" Shin said

"Shin-sama I feel a strange energy coming from a location not far from us" Scáthach sajd

"I think we should eliminate some pests" Jeanne also voiced her opinion

"We take one step at a time and Enjoy this place before we go"
