Chapter 86

Knowing now the reason and the way to help them, I can really relax, although I can't stop seeing them, memorizing every part of their bodies... thinking about it better that they are objects would explain many things. Although that still doesn't explain its existence...

"Can you stop looking at us like that?" Zaphkiel speaks and is trying to cover her body with the blanket I gave her, Lucifugus stands in front of her and tries to cover her too. The bad thing is that I hear and register their voices, but I just can't stop, I am understanding something and I know that if I look at it a little more I will be able to understand something... 

[Sarah: Leonhard, I don't find any immediate problem with this girl, however... we have a problem with her life force...]

Sarah spoke to me mentally, something I didn't know she could do and it took me out of my trance, so I closed and poked my eyes since I was feeling pain... when I opened them again I saw everything a little blurry but I quickly regained my sight. by blinking a little.

[What kind of problem do you have?] 

[Sarah: It has to do with this crystal...because it really isn't fully compatible with her she is using her life force when she tries to use more of her strength...the person who did this to her really is a heartless bastard... besides... her crystal is more big than it should be.]

[Can the process be reversed? And what do you mean by 'big'?]

[Sarah: No, too much time has passed, so we can't just extract it, the simplest solution is to prevent her from using its powers and I estimate that in 15 to 20 years the body's natural assimilation process will finish the job and it's simply that, the crystal grew more than it should...]

[Unfortunately we don't have that choice. What other options can we have?]

[Sarah: The 'simplest' one, relatively speaking, is to help her carry the burden, the other methods would be refining her body and soul, become a goddess or abandon her physical body and live only on the spiritual plane.]

[Sigh Okay ... do the first one, I'm currently connected to her by [Devotion] modify the flow so that she takes as much of my vitality as she needs.] 

[Sarah: Understood my Lord, I ask you not to move from your place since this can be somewhat delicate.]

Once I open my eyes again, both women are still in front of me, in a defensive position, now that I remember, Zaphkiel is still naked so my indiscretion upon observing her easily leads to misunderstandings...

"Well I have good news, Kurumi is fine, so that's one less worry." They only nod their heads but continue to observe me carefully.... how long will I have to stay with Excalibur in my stomach? I should have gotten it out before Sarah started doing whatever she was doing.

"Let's continue our conversation then... Do you know how you appeared here or how long have they been here?"

"Not long, about 2 or 3 hours, we gained consciousness a little after she entered that place, so we began to absorb the energy of that world, it's very different from the Reiryoku that we use but many times more powerful." Lucifugus answer me.

"Do you remember anything about what happened before entering that place the Soul Cairn? Also, this term Reiryoku, how do you know it?" I feel something strange in my chest... I turn to look at Sarah and see that she has her hand on Kurumi's chest exactly in the place where I feel something too.

"Yes and no? It's hard to explain... The closest thing is that we were tied? Or imprisoned? We are aware of what was happening but we really had no 'consciousness' of our own. We were more like machines... yes, that is the closest definition to our situation, machines that simply do what they have to do. " Zaphkiel explains, however as she did so she threw her blanket on the floor and didn't really try to cover herself again...

I turn to look at the crystal in front of Kurumi, apparently whatever Sarah did worked but it is really sucking a lot of power now, at the moment I can feel how the crystal is returning most of the sucked energy to Kurumi, but I can slightly notice how it seems that Zaphkiel and Lucifugus are increasing in size....

And seeing the crystal, I finally understand what was bothering me, the Crystal is not symmetrical, now that I see it well its crystal is not really black, it is red and blue, both too dark to distinguish one from the other... and the fire is consuming the red crystal. The blue part is trying to absorb the flames, but there are simply too many to achieve it...

[Sarah: I have finished my Lord, now if you excuse me I would like to rest, I really did not believe that something so simple would exhaust me so much, apparently my power decreased enormously unlike when I was alive.]

Once Sarah finishes speaking she disappears and returns to the egg, the same with Randgris, I stand up and put them in my storage and continue observing the Crystal... again I enter a slight trance and before everyone can react I take it with my hands and break it separating it in two, using my body and new connection with Kurumi to transmit the flames to the blue part, balancing the flames between both crystals.

When I turn around I only see both women with their mouths open, Lucifugus is no longer wearing her white uniform, her uniform has faded and now she is also naked in front of me... so down below it is also white okay... Plus now both have the debuff [Fire of the Infernal Sun (Medium 15 Days)]

I have both crystals in my hands and I'm starting to think about what to do... although I think I already have the answer, my life really is a video game, I just got a super rare and important item only to have to use it immediately in the next quest without be able to obtain its benefits.

I take the [Amulet of the ????] from my inventory, it is a necklace and I can easily say that it is beautiful, it consists of a pair of gold and silver-black dragons, the gold one has a red gem and the silver-black one is blue with the bodies of the dragons circulating between them in a kind of Ouroboros without really devouring each other. I can feel the power of time from the red side and from the blue side I can only say that it is the power of space.

By instinct and without wasting any more time, I took out an anvil from my inventory and a hammer, placing both crystals in it and skillfully placing them under both dragons, without waiting any longer I simply hit it and what was obvious happened, all the dragons, the gems and the crystals fell apart, destroyed in several pieces.

I quickly separated the crystals into their respective colors, but without doing it completely, creating a vague design of Ying and Yang, although it does not only have a small circle of another color, more or less I separated them in a proportion of 70-30 in each color with the gold circling the red side and the silver-black the blue one. I hurry to do so as I can feel the fire emanating from them.

I have no time to waste and I quickly start taking materials from my inventory, mainly Refined Malachite, for both, in the red part the one of Zahpkiel I also placed Dwarven Metal Ingot, Silver Ingot and Ebony Ingot in the Lucufugus part Refined Moonstone, Gold Ingot and Orichalcum Ingot. I quickly hammered it to fuse everything, and almost by magic I was able to recreate both crystals, this time with clear metallic tones.

[Half Sephira Crystal (True Zaphkiel). Gems that act as the heart of the Spirit, It has been reforged and refined by a true master, achieving the perfect balance.]

[Half Sephira Crystal (True Lucifugus). Gems that act as the heart of a Spirit, It has been reforged and refined by a true master, achieving the perfect balance.]

Once I finished I turned to see Zaphkiel and Lucifugus who at first glance have their normal clothes, but there are small differences: Zaphkiel's dress has some black Ebony brooches and chains, plus the black side parts of her dress have a metallic luster, and if one looks more closely the bow on her chest that ties her corset is made of a small bronze chains, in addition to the fact that her headband appears to be made of woven black and bronze metal.

The change in Lucifugus' uniform is more noticeable, since its buttons changed from gray to an dark greenish blue and its shoulder pads and decorations on the hat changed to gold. Although I can't really notice where the Refined Malachite was, as I remember in Skyrim it is blue but I only see them like normal clothes...

They open their eyes and look at each other, after that they take out their weapons and they are also somewhat different, the ones of Zaphkiel not much, the musket and flintlock simply instead of wood as it was before it is now a black metal and the mechanism is made of bronze and silver, plus it has a design of leaves and flowers on the body of the weapon is now blue.

Lucifugus on the other hand, changed the color of her weapons completely, her flintlock is gold with dark green mechanisms and the decoration she wears is red, her saber, on the other hand, is light blue with gold and red decorations, the handle became also become golden.

After a short time they both turn to look at me and I notice the following change in them... their eyes, Zaphkiel has both eyes gold with a clock in them and Lucifugus has them the same but blue, although after a little they both close his eyes and they return to normal, with the right eye red and the left eye its respective color.

"We greatly appreciate your help, Leonhard Hauser, thanks to you we will no longer have to harm our carrier." They both stood in front of me, bowing and speaking at the same time. "All that remains is for you to please put our crystal back together and put us back in our carrier." They finish talking and they both look at me with distrustful eyes... do they think I can't do it?

"No problem... and I can do it, yes, however..." I begin to lengthen my response and I see how they both tense, waiting for my response. "I REFUSE." 

"WHAT!?" They both scream at the same time and start bombarding me with words that I can't understand... well, I can thanks to the subtitles, but they don't have to know that. After a few minutes of screaming incessantly, they both get tired and stop talking.

"Now that you've calmed down, I'm going to explain, why I want to wait before join both of you together..."

"Haaa. What... haaaa. you .... mean... haaa." Lucifugus speaks, clearly tired, to tell the truth she really is more reasonable even though she is a 'demon'.

"Haaaa~ Do you... haaa~ want to see us more tired~? Haaaa~ See our sweaty~.... and breathless bodies~...succumbing haaaa~ at your will~" Zaphkiel speaks between moans and hugging her body while she begins to try to make air with her dress showing that she is not wearing any underwear, even Lucifugus turns to look at her with a red face.

"Sorry, Luci, I think I made a mistake when I was... melting the crystals..." I lean a little towards Lucifugus who stands in front of Zaphkiel to prevent me from seeing her.

"I would like to say it's okay... but I think in reality she was already like that from the beginning.... well... actually I understand a little why she acts like that..." With a red face she continues to cover Zaphkiel who begins to use Lucifugus' dress to ventilate herself, although I clearly notice that Lucifugus is not really looking directly at me.

"Another exhibitionist... it doesn't really change much... anyway I still have something to do before putting both of you back together, I hope you can resist because I won't show you any mercy..." I start to laugh a little evilly...

"So are you ready to take our virginity~! Fufufufu, you're going to use both holes to satisfy your dark desires~! You're lucky Lucifugus, the first thing you'll taste will be our master's hmph hmphhmphhmphhmph" Lucifugus with a red face covers the mouth of Zaphkiel and I know that Kurumi is a chuunibiyo... but this is really something else, as I remember, its angel represents its bearer.... 

"Thanks Luci, now Zaph, it's a tempting offer, but it's not the time, Kurumi is still resting and we shouldn't bother her." Zaphkiel starts making 'hmph' sounds...saying something about wanting to use Kurumi too....why the hell can my system translate that?

"Hmmph hmph hmph Hmmph hmph hmph hmmph hmph hmph." I just watch Zaphkiel who keeps giving her sexual wish list.... I just hope Kurumi doesn't end up like this... Lucifugus still doesn't see me directly, if I couldn't read her mind and that she would not refuse those actions, I would really think she was just embarrassed...

"Very good then Luci, what I am going to do next is refine you." I just say that and watch as Lucifugus just looks at me and literally smoke raises from her head but without letting go of Zaphkiel. "I'm going to improve you... that didn't sound good.... hmmm you know about video games right?"

"We have Kurumi's memories, so if we know about video games... can you stop licking my hand?" Lucifugus really has a lot of resistance against Zaphkiel, no matter that she is licking her hand she doesn't have any thoughts of disgust.

"Alright then, basically what I'm going to do is use materials to enhance you and make you stronger like in videogames. You can now let go of Zaph, if you have her like this, it's really very distracting." And I mean it, since now it's... wait... I quickly approach them and see Zaphkiel directly in the eyes... cloudy eyes and lost vision, rapid breathing, excessive sweating, she only reacts when I touch her.

'No... but how can it be possible... she is...' As I think about the possible cause of this I hear the voice of Auriel in my mind

(Of course it's possible! You combined her with the blood of Akatosh, of course she will succumb to the desires of a dragon!)

'But then why doesn't happen anything to Lucifugus!?'

(Hahaha... how can you... wait a minute, you really didn't have the slightest idea whose blood you mixed with them was!? Let me laugh harder HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.)

'So it's my fault she ended like this? How can I reverse it?'

(Haaa.... haaaa... you are really surprising, no one in their right mind would abandon that amulet, you really, really, really surprised me when you used it on the two of them, that amulet should only work on you. Not to mention how valuable that amulet is, you really had no idea what it was?)

'An amulet that had the crystallized blood of Akatosh and Lorkhan... something I really saw no use for myself.' And I really think that about it, I thought that with it I could change my profession to the 4th job but what was my surprise that it really didn't work unless it was 'fresh'. So upon seeing Kurumi Angel and Demon, just on a whim, I decided to use it in them... completely forgetting the problems that these could entail...

At that moment the laughter that came from my shield stopped and a small, somewhat uncomfortable silence followed. In front of me I see Lucifugus staring at me, waiting for me to decide to say what is happening and I can only nod my head to assure him that everything It would be okay.

(You are surprising... that amulet was yours, destiny and Akatosh wrote it that way, but you simply gave it on a whim... you are too dangerous partner... and apparently no one has realized it, it was prophesied that my sister would be hidden until the Dragonborn arrived, but I want you to go get her.

When we are together again I will tell you my name, for you to know it now would be a problem and would put you even more in the eyes of the creators... my sister is in...)

'The Auriel Shrine in Darkfall cave, from there I speak with Knight-Paladin Gelebor to enter the Forgotten Vale and I must complete the pilgrimage, kill Vyrthur.....'

(.....You're a real son of a bitch, you know that? Now I feel like an idiot for wanting to test you... if you were dangerous before, now you are a total threat... now I understand why you gave the amulet, you don't want to be watched by the creators, right?)

The only thing I can do is smile... I wish I were as dense as anime protagonists, to ignore what she is saying and continue living... but it's really embarrassing to tell her that it's a misunderstanding, I only put the amulet on Kurumi because I honestly thought she could use it better... 

(Sigh... At least my new partner is interesting, it doesn't matter, I gave you my word, once you reunite me with my sister you will know my name, now about your current situation, you have united your soul and opened a path with her . You just need to give it some of your blood so that the effects are controlled, I recommend that you combine it with that crystal, it will work better. Until next time partner I need more strength to help you in the future.)

'Well that was informative lest do it... now to think that I'm going to have to do something as chuunibiyo as forging with blood... well I better do it now, the faster I finish this the faster I can get out of here, her moans are really erotic.'

"Luci, what happens to Zaph is my mistake, do you remember the amulet? Well that amulet had the blood of two very powerful entities, Akatosh Dragon God of Time and his brother Lorkhan the Spirit of Nirn....

So Zaph obtained a greater amount of 'dragon power', something that she is not used to and prepared to control, so she is letting herself be carried away by her emotions.... Don't worry, everything is under control, I'm going to proceed to 'cure' her."

Without really waiting for her to respond, I take my hammer and place Zaphkiel crystal on my anvil, using Elunium and Oridecon at the same time with my blood, fusing all the elements... I didn't last long, only about 5 seconds... but damn, Zaphkiel's moans are really erotic..
