😈 Tales of a Cambion (Book 3) 😈

XV (LXI). The True Worth of The Lightning Breather, Hunter, & Archer ⚔️ 🏹 🛡️

Able to steal away the Vase of Endings, Coco and Ocho submit their finding to a professor at one of the Harvest Reporting Towers with certainty to win the entirety of the Harvest Festival. The Vase was now in safe custody as we return to the great war between Keroli and Kamui against Agares and Goemon. Kamui kept the beast under his animalistic command, only met with their demise as Goemon utilized his control with the wind saving his comrades. The barrier around Agares' castle has yet to fall despite having boss-class bull monsters ramming at it. Such meant the only way to it was through the front gate itself, thanks to Agares' bloodline ability to control all his kin perceives as the ground. He and his allies were able to fend off the beasts through such difficult moments, but their bonds proved their strength second to none.

However, a demon holding an injured comrade entered the throne room to report that six guards from the east have been defeated, not by the beasts this time. Allies were spontaneously charmed by someone sexy- that being no other than X Elizabetta herself releasing 60% of her affection by unzipping a small line of her jumpsuit. Her bloodline ability to release a scent which makes those within her range of distribution be infatuated by her turns out to have its concentration manipulated by how much of her zipper is opened and closed. Elizabetta herself found it unrefined to use such a trick on men , but it's not as though she had any other way to catch them off-guard or have them voluntarily disarm during a war. Those who didn't return were lead them into enemy territory to be captured. Agares commended how Magical Beast Kingdom wasn't holding off their horses by any means. If anyone wanted to know, Clara went off scouting on her little adventure to get some points, leaving Elizabetta to her ability's devices. She had to be careful with how much she uses it, otherwise she and whoever was under her spell lose control. Despite Raim telling her to use it sparingly, she was eager to satisfy her arousing curiosity until she heard a voice from the bushes.

There, Lied popped out with Acheron, Ryūko, Iruma, Isabelle, and Naphula on his tail. Before Iruma could tell the taller girl what was their matter, Lied decided to jump into earnestly asking what does she truly feel about him. Elizabetta that she loves him, causing the blond gamer to happily scream in such a response. They then sat down to some sweets and tea, Lied, Isabelle, and Ryūko (whom Elizabetta still doesn't recognize by her hooded apparel in black) explained the situation to her confirming that what happened with the former was not an act of her own accord.

"That doesn't sound familiar at all." She answered, "I've never seen a vase like that, either."

"So that means the Eliza I saw earlier really was..."

"A fake." Acheron answered straight away, "Isa and Ryūko were right. What the fake Elizabetta said was something the real deal would never say."

"Hmph. Total checkmate." Smirked Ryūko behind her mask as she and Isabelle shared a small fist bump, "T'was indeed the work of only one whom utilizes one's most abysmal fears and darkest memories, transformed into an illusion where any who battles it falls defeated in the midst of the rebirth of the greatest horrors ever known to demonkind."

Naphula, who had not seen the incident, questioned what exactly happened.

"Well, there was this Eliza that is not Eliza, who was pretty..." Lied tried to explain.

"Was she prettier than me?" Asked Elizabetta.

At that second, Naphula looked mad and hit Iruma by the side, they were trying to explain something through gestures. Perhaps they were visually describing the perpetrator's appearance. Iruma, Elizabetta and Lied all thought Naphula was describing a shark with a pompadour peeping as it danced, but that wasn't the answer.

Ryūko could only be silent throughout the guessing game, sighing out of seeing how that guess barely held any logical water to contain.

"You lot. Curtail this nonsense." She scowled, "If not through regular demon speech, we need someone to translate this. I hereby summon the Eule der Tierzungen (DE - Owl of Animalistic Tongues) to take the stand."
