The Echidna who Purified an Elemental Queen

[ Dwelling of Spirits ]

"How are they doing? Is little Treyni eating well?! Did Veldora bully them into being the forest's guardian!? If he did, take me to him right now! I'll take him down with my pinky finger."

Ramiris bombarded Aria with questions after hearing about how she met Treyni and the other Dryas', along with the reason for why she revealed her identity.

"Calm down…or I'll eat you." That made Ramiris immediately shut her mouth, as Aria's monstrous form flashed through her mind. "As for whether they were bullied by Veldora, you don't have to worry about, Treyni was the one who said she'll guard it for him, in exchange for being able to stay in the forest." She explained.

"Oh, that's good." Ramiris sighed in relief.

Aria shook her head at her reaction, "Veldora isn't that bad you know? The violent behaviour he shows is as a result of his aspects, he is the Storm Dragon after all. And if there's one thing storms are known for it's their unpredictable and tempestuous nature. And his sister's treatment didn't help."

With a hand on her on her chin, Ramiris answered, "I suppose you're right, and Guy was even worse than Veldora in the past."

Aria agreed with her on that, the Lord of Darkness destroyed kingdom of his summoner along with their enemies, and who knows what else he had done that wasn't mentioned in Light novel.

With a chuckle the Echidna added, "Well, he does have a flair for the dramatic, but deep down, Veldora isn't malicious. He's more like an overgrown child with too much power and not enough restraint."

"That's actually a perfect way to describe him." Ramiris said with wide eyes, before adding, "But I'm pretty sure you're one of the few people who would talk a True Dragon like that. Also aren't you being a little defensive about him?"

Aria shrugged, "Well, we are technically family, you know."

"Oh, yeah!" Ramiris completely forgot that Aria was also True Dragon, the latter was super chill after all. "By the way, what type of True Dragon are you?"

The Echidna gave her a funny look, didn't she already say that she was called Mother of All Monster's? It should be self-explanatory, but since she understood that this Fairy was rather slow in the head, she answered,

"I would like to consider myself a True Dragon of Life," She conveniently kept quiet about her title being Deviant Dragon.

"You can create life?!" Ramiris asked, gobsmacked.

"Wasn't that obvious when I told you what my race is and who I was?" Aria was really having trouble understanding this Elemental Queen's brain circuitry. Why would she even ask—

"I thought you actually spreaded your legs and gave birth to them!" Ramiris blurted out, her eyes widening in horror once she realised what she said.

The Echinda's face darkened at her words, she was basically called a slut! "It should have been obvious from the Walpurgis, but I like women."

"Of course, of course. It was just a slip of the tongue, I'm sure your magnanimous enough to forgive such a thing." The Fairy Queen shamelessly began flattering her in hopes of assuaging her wrath.

"Mmm. You're right, I am merciful, so I won't eat you." Aria's words made Ramiris sigh in relief,

"Then I guess you can let me go, right?"

"Oh? I thought I made it clear, I said I was merciful, not forgiving." The Elemental Queen's heart dropped at her words, the grin on the Echidna's lips to her was now devilish.

"Do not worry my Fairy Queen, I'll purify you thoroughly." Aria's words confused her, however, a moment later, something shocking started happening.

Ramiris' tiny body started growing!

In just a few moments, she was tall enough to reach Aria's shoulder.

"What?" The Elemental Queen blinked in surprise and disbelief, she knows what happened, and that was the reason why she couldn't believe it.

"The Queen is back!"

"The Queen is back!"

"The Queen is back!"

Numerous pixies started chanting in excitement, and around them, Elementals started appearing from their home, the Elemental Realm, a Spiritual World.

Aria tuned out the elementals shouting, opting to stare out at the adult Ramiris, although lacking in the chest department, she was a beauty that easily rivalled Luminous and Frey.

But now wasn't the moment to just stare at her, now that this Fairy wasn't so tiny, her following actions will no longer come under scrutiny from the interdimensional FBI.

"Time to pay up my fairy Queen."

"What—!" Ramiris couldn't even ask her question, as her lips were sealed by Aria. All she could was widen her eyes in shock, as her measly strength wasn't enough to resist Aria who would have no problem trading blows with Dagruel or True Dragons.

However, the next moment, any thought of resistance immediately left her mind as she felt energy flowing into her body, it carried a warmth that seemed to kindle a gentle flame within Ramiris.

Aria at first just wanted to get back at Ramiris for questioning her dignity, but since she was in a way taking advantage of her, she decided to help her by sharing her energy, after all, although she purified the draconic and demonic aura with her Cleaning, the Elemental Queen wasn't yet at her peak.

But what she didn't expect was for energy to flow from Ramiris and into her, she inwardly shrugged when she that it wasn't harming her and continued tasting the Fairy Queen's soft lips.

«Notice. Soul Corridor has been formed with individual 'Ramiris'. Individual is now part of your Soul Lineage.»

Aria paused, and pulled back when she heard Scholar's voice. Her eyes met Ramiris', which now had newfound depth. The once petite fairy now stood taller and more regal, embodying a mature grace, "Can you feel it?"

Ramiris, who was at a loss for words, snapped out of her thoughts, "I can, and it's closer than a Soul connection, a Soul Corridor? How is that possible?"

"Dual Cultivation?" Aria blurted out.

Ramiris tilted her head at the unfamiliar term, "What is Dual Cultivation?"

Aria sagely answered, "Sex."

"…." Ramiris gave her a unimpressed look.

"And here I was hoping for maiden-like reaction," The Echidna said with faux sadness, "So, who was your first time? Guy? Veldanava?"

The Elemental Queen's face twitched multiple times, "I'm a virgin!"

"Oh?" Aria looked at her as if she were an alien.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" The Fairy Queen couldn't understand. Wasn't it a good thing to be a virgin? Now that her memories were no longer blurred, she recalls that kingdoms in the past put importance in purity. Could it have change after so long?

"Have you ever masturbated?" This was something that Aria needed to know. After all, this Fairy was over 20,000 years old, there was no way she hadn't at least experimented with her own body at least once, right?

"…No."

Aria suddenly felt like she was hit by a blinding light. Was she in the presence of a Buddha? That was the only explanation for how someone could be celibate after so long.

«Notice. Most probable reason is that individual 'Ramiris' is not a deviant.»

'And I am?' Aria asked, her lips twitching.

«Notice. Not enough information to come to that conclusion. Solution. Unique Skill: Scholar requests access to individual 'Echidna Tempest's' memories.»

'….Granted.' After a moment of reflection, Aria allowed it to look at her memories, even if she was little uncomfortable. She definitely did not allow Scholar access because she wanted it to recreate some anime moves, it was all for the reason for helping her use her skills in more ways.

For instance, with her [Organic Domination] from her Unique Skill: [Evolution], she should be able to recreate some food from earth with it. It's just that she needs to perfectly recall ingredients and stuff, and although she has probably glanced at ingredients of what she has eaten at times, it doesn't mean she can recall, which was why Scholar was here. It could use memories from science's she learnt in high-school to recreate them.

«….»

"Mother." Fenrir nuzzled against her leg and called out to her when he saw her turn silent for some time, she wasn't using Thought Acceleration after all.

Seeing the concerned look off Elaine and Ramiris, Aria smiled and said, "I was just thinking of things."

"Pervert." Ramiris blushed embarrassment, thinking that Aria was referring to what she said before.

"Huh? What are you talking about? I was thinking about what to do with the spirits that appeared all around us." Aria commented with a innocent smile.

"I know, I was just saying, after all who asks something so perverse so openly." Although surprised at Aria's shameless behaviour, Ramiris answered without missing a beat, it was a perk of being old, your poker face was strong.

"So I can do privately?" The Echidna wiggled her eyebrows with a smirk.

"These Elementals seem to have a connection to both of us, can you feel it." The Elemental Queen used another skill she had picked up in her long life, the art of changing subjects as naturally as she breathed, unfortunately it couldn't hide the redness on her cheeks.

Aria decided to stop teasing her and nonchalantly replied, "I can, so I guess they are our children?"

"You could say that?" Ramiris felt more embarrassed about this than Aria's perverted comments, but she did note that the Echidna didn't have a problem with it, "Are you fine with it?"

"I'm already a mother, a single one at that," she pointed at Fenrir.

"That's right, it's kinda easy to forget if he doesn't always call you Mother." Ramiris said in understanding.

Aria nodded in agreement, her gaze moving to the spirits, who emitted warm and comforting aura, sensing the camaraderie between their 'mothers', "I don't think we really need to anything, they seem happy enough that we're together rather than against each other."

"I guess you're right," The Elmental Queen understood what Aria was saying, after all, if the latter was malicious in anyway, she could have usurped her position and became the one, true, Ruler of Elements.

'She isn't a bad person to have as a partner,' Ramiris cheeks flushed crimson at her own thoughts, she turned to the cause, only to see her leaning on a now room-sized Fenrir with Elaine on her lap.

She takes back her words, this woman was a pervert through and through.
