Chapter 212: A Month Later…

Chapter 212: A Month Later…

~Mash B. POV~

[A Month Later, Japan, Kyoto, Imperial Palace]

It'd have been a month since our encounter with the Yokai Faction. Ryuko and Satsuki were both introduced to Touki or Ki Teachers learning how to use their abundant Life Force within them.

It was also a good break for Ryuko to train with Satsuki picking up a thing or two from her under my promise of providing a training method for Yasaka's men. But it was the dhampir that brought her concern asking about what happened.

The look on her face mentioning that the Vampire Faction the isolationist group was wiped out brought her shivers but was understandable that the mentions of fellow Yokai used in their interbreeding brought some attention. Even used the memories from both factions the Tepes and Carmilla to prove my point of where I stand.

Fortunately, Yasaka only found a means to gather more people into the Yokai Faction dhampirs into her group that she seized managing to get both sides. Of course, proving my help teleporting them all my inaction left the Yokai Faction gaining new members.

Well, at least they'll be safe with her. In the last month, I got to know much about the Yokai Faction leader here and her personality well enough. But the improvement would be learning that Satsuki and Ryuko managed to learn [Touki] when the instructors did as I told them about a way to ignite a person's ki.

It was the same concept in RWBY learning their method of [Aura]. How a person ignites a person's soul or ki in this case is to have someone with Ki pour their being over the person. If a life force of another is opened through the body, soon the mind and soul get affected and then ignite starting a chain reaction.

Causing the chain reaction would ignite that person's inner Ki to come alive and the person will feel a blanket of warmth upon doing so. When I showed and explained the method to the Ki Practitioners, they were skeptical but shut up when they saw the results and found an easier method to unlock [Touki] informing Yasaka.

And I smirked seeing my own [Ki] or in this case, this white aura shrouding me my [Touki] a barrier that acts like my [Mana Skin]. And when I unlocked Ki there was a noticeable change in my status bar.

Status.

Checking out the new tap I got a new stats bar showing called KP. It stands for [Ki Points] now shown in my Help section. Help.

[Help:

-To bring up your status you merely need to say "Status" or think it to appear, but no one can see it unless through a Party System….

…

-Ki Points/KP- an attribute to use one's life force allowing the control of one's chi can allow for extraordinary abilities, strength, speed, stamina, durability, and reflexes, or in some cases enabling the use of energy blasts, elemental manipulation, hyper-awareness, and sometimes invulnerability.

…

-Vitality/VIT- the ability to tolerate attacks without dying the more increase this stat the more health the player gains by its recovery rate. One stat gained boosted HP and KP by +15…]

I smirked seeing this. It seems like I'm just getting stronger the longer I travel to these worlds and understand them.

Especially with my new skills that help unlock my Ki. Skill List.

As much as the idea of mastery Ki amuses me trying to do my childhood favorite dreams of dragon ball, I prefer the magic route over anything else. But other than providing gravity training on Yasaka's soldiers I turned my attention toward Valerie's condition.

During the past month, Valerie's condition has gotten a little better but I'm still worried about her. She's probably the only person who survives a Sacred Gear extraction. And that was only due to her Holy Grail being a subspecies and her being a Dhampir.

When we left the Tepes Faction Valerie went into a miniature coma. When I checked to see what was wrong with Valerie, we discovered that she was in a case of exhaustion.

When I say exhaustion, I mean everything physical, mental, and mana. She barely had enough strength to open her eyes. I had a theory her body went into some kind of stasis which drained her of everything that she could use to escape. Good thing I killed her brother feeding him to my [Great Rabbits]. Good job brain.

But during the past month and few members of Yasaka's men tried to heal Valerie's condition. After a month of using [Healing Magic] and [Healing Chi] she is now able to move around a bit before tiring. But it was when she mentioned she had been starving for nearly 2 years earned my attention.

Being a cook by nature I cooked her food for her to eat. The other cooks in Yasaka's residence also helped fuel this hungry dhampir with tasty treats or a fresh supply of blood from a dragon. AKA me.

But once she was healed enough mentally, physically, and emotionally she stared at me dead in the eye with Ryuko and Satsuki by my side in a confused tone, "Why?"

I spoke up being honest about my true intentions I replied in a blunt tone our eyes locking to each other, "While you having the Grail played a part in my decision, I also wanted to save you from those fucking assholes. Not that it matters since they have been wiped out. Gone. For good."

Eyeing her it was Valerie who was still looking at me with no expression on her face, but I could see some emotions in her eyes. And soon she replied in a monotone tone, "It's alright. You helped me, that's what matters. But my brother's backers but there are also these two silver-haired devils who took one of my cups. They are dangerous and powerful needing me in their plans."

I nodded as I activated my Authority of Wrath, [Restoration] on her as she gazed at me tilting her head as I smirked in a confident tone, "Yeah… about that I'm about to fucking rip those Devil assholes plans to fucking hell."

Using my [TOOS] I immediately summoned the last grail using my Gamer Ring opening a portal instantly returning into Valerie's soul making her whole as she slumped down from being shot her missing Cup.

Ryuko gazed at me with a knowing grin as I closed my portal hearing her comment on a confident tone, "Heh. Are you messing with another bad guy's day again? What was his plan for this time? World domination or something?"

Valerie groaned getting hit by her missing cup that was forced by my [Restoration] to return to a fixed point as I replied stunning the sisters, "Nah. More like destroying it to build a new world order, I think? Something about releasing Trihexea or something? I'm fucking vetoing that immediately."

Satsuki blinked as Valerie got used to her missing emotions as she spoke in a tired tone rubbing her temples, "Sigh… to think you both would get into these kinds of dangerous situations. I swear you two will be the death of me somehow."

I smirked as Valerie got ahold of herself in surprise as I spoke in a curious tone being here for a month, "Yeah. But on a side note, do you want me to send you back home it's been a month?"

She nodded her head as she smiled leaning over and giving me a peck on the cheek as she spoke in a happy tone, "I know. I must be getting back anyway. But this month has been very relaxing. And sister please be safe and stay with our idiot. I saw how the maids looked at him."

Her kind smile soon turned into a cold one. Ryuko nodded with a knowing cold grin holding her Scissor Blades in an understanding tone, "Right. Gotta give these bitches the boot away from our idiot. No worries with this Ki stuff I'll be extra sure."

I smiled as Senketsu spoke startling Valerie of the talking clothing in a stoic tone, "Still tell Mako and the gang we're doing fine. Have a pleasant trip back Satsuki."

Satsuki nodded her head as I opened the portal to the Worldline Kill La Kill. I stood up hugging her as she disengaged as I spoke in a loving tone, "Will make another date later love. Take care of things and make sure to take breaks when you can."

She nods kissing me on the lips. After giving me a kiss she turned and left through the portal with her blue backlights showing off. Ryuko merely laughed chuckling to herself in a knowing tone, "Heh. Big sis still gotta show off when she wants huh? So, then Mash are you going to complete your word to her?"

My promise to Valerie is to reunite her with Gasper. I nodded my head but only if she fully recovered as I spoke in a neutral tone, "Returning her to her long-lost brother. But only after she recovers you don't want to show your brother how weakly treated you are right? Besides that, his currently reincarnated by a devil but not any devil. He was turned into a devil by the little sister of the Crimson Satan."

She only nodded as she thought for a bit before answering in a monotone tone spoke startling me with her words, "I will follow your lead… Master."

Wait… what?! I cried out loud when she said that with Ryuko snickering behind at my predicament, "Why are you calling me Master?!"

She looked at me as if I was the one lacking any kind of common sense in a monotone tone then asked, "You asked me to join and serve you… so that makes me your Master. Also… can I suck on your bodily fluids?"

Bastion.ExE has shut down…

Processing… process… error… processing…

Processing complete. Think of an appropriate response.

… What?

"HAHAHAHA!!!"

My eyes glared down at Ryuko now full-blown laughing her ass off at my predicament. Valerie only looked at me confused tilting her head innocently at such a subjective wording of asking for blood…

Sigh, why does DxD have too much fucking weird porn or fanservice shit… why me…?
