CH18: Taming The Spider

I placed my hand on the lock leading to the basement and felt out the lock with my qi. Feeling through the lock with my qi and searching for each tumbler was more difficult than I thought. Aura manifestation was flashy and impressive, but fine control was essential. It was the difference between a dabbler and a cultivator. While it would be easier to rip the door off its hinges, this was cleaner. If I ever wanted to be sneaky, I needed to practice this skill.

Tumblers clicked into place, then fell when I moved the lock a little too much. I shook my head and slowly moved through the motions to better use my qi control. More little things like unlocking things turned into big things with aura involved. The more intricate my control, the more powerful my aura manifestation would become. All skills that had anything to do with qi relied on qi control.

After an embarrassingly long time, the lock clicked, and I was in. Dozens of girls looked at me in my cloaked form, and I smirked down at them. "Arakan," Moka said and rushed up the stairs with Yukari behind her. My pinkette vampire hugged me on the spot before pressing her lips against mine. That alone made the fight worth it. "What's with the change of clothes? They look good."

Yea, I was amazing, and my cloak looked badass. It had done its job even if I needed a little more training to make it powerful. Once Aura Manifestation reached a certain point, it took on a physical form based on the user's preferences. Some made drones or even augmented their familiars, and some made weapons. In the other world, there were dungeon drops that could greatly surpass an aura weapon that wasn't ridiculously specialized. So it wasn't viable even if they had several supplementary skills to accompany their aura manifestation that boosted their manifestations.

New Skill: Aura Cloak: Beginner 0.01%

My new system worked differently. Reaching 0.1% of master rank was the equivalent of maxing out a skill. Every percent afterward was like adding bonus levels on top of that. Master, 50% was equal to a skill at lvl500. Reaching master rank in something opened a skill up to becoming ridiculously powerful. It made even an all-purpose aura cloak viable. My qi control helped that out even more. Unfortunately, there wasn't gear in this world to boost stats or even stats to boost. For now, what I was doing was the meta of the day.

"Is that a balance breaker?" Yukari asked.

"No, it's just an application of my power combined with some ingenuity. Let's get out of here; we still have business to discuss."

"What kind of monster are you. I've never felt anything like this." Yukari said.

Moka jumped in. "That can wait until we're at the ship. I'm sure you're hungry, Yukari."

Inner Moka chose that moment to speak up. "You still have one loose end to tie up. I didn't forget your promise to take care of it."

"Does he have to tonight? It's late and a school night?" Outer Moka asked.

"Only if he wants to be a good mate and take care of a problem before it gets too big to manage. I'm not one of those dumb bimbos who let their enemies get stronger for a better fight. So I won't have Arakan get into that bad habit either." Inner Moka said.

Kuyo hadn't crossed my mind. I've been too busy using my tamed creatures to follow that woman with the syringe. Some K-pop-looking guy killed her before taking the syringe. He then handed it to a man in a trench coat in exchange for a blue vile. The man in the trench coat vanished in a burst of speed, but I knew where he was going. One of my sentries found him in front of the PSC building. Somehow, I lost track of the other guy.

With all my enemies in one spot, there was no way I would pass up this opportunity. "Alright, I'll get rid of them tonight. Kuyo has to pay for burning down my farm." I said before kissing the Rosary. "Thank you for reminding me."

I turned and let my cloak flutter, hanging off my body loosely with the caller nearly up to my ears. Keeping it up was exhausting, but I didn't want to show Moka it was about to drop. Even with the hogyoku, there was only so much it could do with my reserves. There weren't any convenient stats I could use to bolster my qi supply or consumables for massive increases. Since I arrived in this world and until recently, my every gain was incremental.

The second I was out of her sight, I let my cloak drop and leaned against a wall to catch my breath. My reserves were returning at an insane rate, but my body couldn't take much more. I needed time to rest and adapt to my new level of aura, but Moka was right; this needed to be settled. The summon cards and scrolls in my inventory were a temptation.

If I used one, then maybe things would get easier. I still hadn't told Moka about Jasmine, and I wasn't planning on it until things calmed down. Summoning Raven might be helpful, and her grey skin was exotic, to say the least. I wouldn't mind adding her to my current harem, but Moka would have to agree first. Arturia was an option, her holy sword would be useful, but without command seals, it wasn't worth it. Black Alice was a hell no, and I chose to leave it at that. Unfortunately, I didn't have the power to stop her from rampaging.

"Then don't worry about them; you have me. What other partner could you need?"

"True, this isn't impossible. I just need to fight like hell." I said.

Failure: World War III

That failure condition wasn't something I wanted to deal with. A third world war would involve nukes, and that would be the end of all things. So, I needed to attack Kuyo first and see about this Eternity business afterward.

A gallon of adrenaline poured into my veins. The wall I was resting against cracked under the invisible onslaught of my qi before I managed to rein it in. Kuyo, even without the drug, was difficult, and he would be even worse on his base of operations. There couldn't be any fuckups. I needed to take him down fast before focusing on the others.

I made my way to the PSC building and pushed the doors open. A monster girl froze, staring at me in utter terror as I stepped forward. She smelled like spiders, deceit, and absolute lust. My girls wouldn't care if I hit it and quit it. This was a sexual emergency if there ever was one.

Before she could say a word, I grabbed her by her uniform and pulled her in close. My lips attacked hers hungrily as her tongue danced with mine as my hand traveled down to her ass. Then, my fingers vibrated with little effort as they slipped under her panties. She squirmed as my fingers slid into her cunny down to the knuckle before my pinky found her clit. The girl moaned before pulling her panties down and my dick out of my pants.

I tossed her over a desk and spread her legs wide. "What's your name?" I asked.

"Keito," she said as I slipped inside. Her walls squeezed me tight as I pushed in deep. She groaned as I forced her to accommodate me down to the hilt. "Why,"

"Stress," I said and began fucking her earnestly; she groaned as I tried to hold back my strength. "If I don't beat Kuyo and his friends, the world will be destroyed. Not just humans but all the world will be obliterated in nuclear fire." So I said as her pussy clenched in orgasm as she tried to force me out.

Instead of doing the gentlemanly thing and letting her force me out, I pressed in deeper. After a few more pumps, I came inside of her and pulled my cock out. My thick load tumbled out of her and down the tiny speck of butthole. I grabbed her clit and made my fingers vibrate; she moaned and came again. When I released her spasming on the desk?

Sexcraft: Beginner 98%

I pulled up my pants and checked the time. Only about eight minutes had passed, and I felt less stressed. Pounding Keito's tight cunny had really loosened me up. Getting an eyeful of my handiwork afterward felt good as well. It was good practice for Moka and Kurumu. The latter did want me to get a little more experienced, and Moka wouldn't care if it was a one-time fling. Then again, she wasn't very clear about mistresses only wives.

"Arakan, if I could do anything but spasm, I would wrap you in my webs and suck you dry."

"Kinky," I said and prepared to leave.

"You're a human, aren't you like the Eternity people working with us. So why would you go against your own kind?"

"Well, we are having sex, so I guess you deserve an answer." I smiled at her. "I don't like them."

"That's it," Keito said as she looked up and brushed back her lovely violet hair.

My mood shifted at her words because hell no, that wasn't it. "Sorry to disappoint you, but sometimes that's all there is to it. They offered the drug as a free sample to add to its power and collect battle data on it at a school. People who target schools to sell drugs or kill students piss me off. Driving them out of yokai academy is a privilege. The world will be a better place without them." I said, almost yelling at the end.

Keito stared down at her own dripping cunny and looked up at me. "Do you plan to take responsibility?"

"We'll see after I finish up here. You should head home. I'm not sure this place will still be standing when I'm done with it. I don't really feel like holding back tonight." I said.

The purple-haired spider girl gave me a disapproving look before getting up and pulling up her panties, trapping the rest of my orgasm inside her. "Well, with Kuyo gone, I'll be the leader of the PSC; with your backing, no one will question me."

I nodded. "Alright, sounds good. I'll pound your pussy slower later; we'll talk in more detail after I finish up here." I said.
