Each of Lawrence's words differently affects them, they feel their blood boiling as they understand what has happened. Serene Will aside, Sky Petal, who rarely gets angry, feels that the woman before her is getting what she deserves.
Coldness Divine clenches her fists, she only wishes to use this gift slowly and carefully, to make her beg for mercy and wish for death.
"Serene Will, what is your progress on the Memory and Emotion Rewriting magic?"
"Except for some details, it's as close to perfection."
"Very well, bring Initial Spark. She, along with Coldness Divine, will kill this woman."
Lawrence was about to step out of this room when he notices the gaze of his women. He quickly understands why, unlike him, none of them has taken the life of a hunter or beast that exceeds them by such an excessive amount of levels. Only he has had such experience, thanks to the luxuries bestowed by the evil sect.
"The achievement of killing an impossible being is the maximum level increase that your body can withstand, without any other side effects than a lack of adaptation."
When he was young, the evil sect forced him to kill a level 300 hunter. Being only level 8, it took years for him to adapt to the strength of his new body after the excessive level increase.
"Coldness Divine progressively leveled up in her regressions, so it shouldn't be difficult for her to adapt. As for you, we are in no rush, she is an exception. Take an example from Initial Spark and what will happen to her."
Lawrence changes his mind and leans against the wall to watch the death of the receptionist. Later, Serene Will brings with her Initial Spark, and Sky Petal goes to care for Ryan, enjoying his warmth after a week apart.
"Hm...! HMMM!!"
Two weapons, each in a different hand, stab accurately at her vital points. From her eyes fall tears, hatred, regret, and fear. Everyone abused their power in one way or another, why did it have to be her? Why did she have to meet this vile man?
Her life disappears, fading away completely. Until her own death, this man didn't even ask for her name. He had no interest in knowing it.
The receptionist has died.
"This power..."
Coldness Divine smiles, this is the same power she once had in one of her regressions. Level 474, an increase of 77 levels in just an instant.
"You're right, this lack of adaptation is something I've never experienced. I know who I am, but my body refuses to acknowledge it. Ha! I remember exactly everything, it will take no more than two or three days to forge the new bonds."
"What...? What is this?!"
Initial Spark reacts differently.
"My mana... It's out of control!"
An aura bursts from her body, the essential power of every hunter.
"I- It stopped, but this... It's the same amount of mana I had at my previous level, my current level doesn't reflect the changes... Why?"
The level increase corresponding to a huntress of level 150, is 80 levels. Her strength should have increased as well as her mana capacity and concentration, none of which is reflected in her current body. Although she possesses level 230, it is no different from level 150.
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
Coldness Divine and Serene Will observe Initial Spark's current state. Both are surprised at this strange phenomenon.
"Don't worry, as long as you train a little daily, you'll soon adapt. It can't be considered a side effect, rather a protection. You'll understand as the days go by."
"I- I see, thank you for this opportunity, rankers. My loyalty will always be with you."
Both Lawrence and Coldness Divine are surprised to hear these words, especially coming from a proud knight who gave her life to the king and the princess.
"Transferring feelings from one memory to another is not easy..."
Serene Will approaches her and strokes her head. "I couldn't have asked for a better guinea pig."
Regrets? Serene Will has none. The former knight before her was a spy, someone assigned to them to improve relations in anticipation of an eventual war between the Sky Blue Mountain Kingdom and the Dajhir Kingdom. A war that became a reality, a war that will soon demand something from them.
"Not bad. As soon as you can transfer your experience, I'll be more than eager to receive it, but now is not the time."
Lawrence takes Coldness Divine's hand and leads her toward the exit. "I'm short on time, I'll take care of you and Sky Petal later. Coldness Divine is still not used to interacting with the others, right?"
"Tsk, don't even think about it, Lawrence."
He simply smiles and continues walking, holding her hand. He knows that sooner or later, this woman will be between his legs just like the others, wives one and two can do it. Wife three just requires more training.
Serene Will watches them leave and sighs. It seems she will have to clean up all this mess.
"What are you planning to do with me?"
Coldness Divine walks beside him, but it's strange to hold his hand. She knows that Lawrence doesn't do anything without premeditation, does his kind act have a consequence?
"Did you even manage to cum once--?"
"Silence."
Just one more word, and she will not be responsible for the consequences.
Lawrence understands this, so he stops teasing her and embraces her gently. He brings his face close to hers and says: "You're mine, without me you are nobody."
Coldness Divine clenches her teeth, wishing she could shift the balance of this relationship.
But she cannot.
When that man's lips touch hers, she stops clenching her teeth involuntarily, allowing their tongues to touch, caress each other. When their kiss ends, Lawrence strokes her neck with his fingers.
"Say it."
This time she lacks the strength to resist.
"I am yours, Lawrence, without you I am nobody."
Lawrence smiles and takes her hand again, guiding her through the mansion's hallways to his room. Inside, Coldness Divine hears words she never thought anyone would dare say to her face.
"Disappear everything that makes you a dragon."
"You!"
For a dragon, hiding its ancestry is the worst humiliation possible. For Celestial Firmament, it is to reduce his size beyond a certain limit, for Coldness Divine, it is to disappear her horns, wings, and tail.
"Now."
"Kuh…"
With just a few words, she feels compelled to obey. She, who vowed never to be under anyone, is only under one person. Lawrence.
Her wings disappear, revealing her back completely. Her horns and tail follow, making her look no different from a human except for her dragon eyes.
"When you told me how you felt hiding your wings that time, you don't know how much I wished I could have you like that. Hiding your heritage just because I ask you to."
She grits her teeth, while Lawrence strokes her head and back as if it's something new, he was so used to her horns, wings, and tail that this situation is truly interesting.
"This must be karma, don't you think? I'm sure you once gave these orders to your men. How does it feel to be on the other side, receiving them?"
"This is the worst."
"Now you know what those men who declared their love for you felt."
Lawrence moves away from her and retrieves three items from his storage ring. As soon as Coldness Divine sees them, not only her teeth, but also her fists clench.
In his hands, artificial ears and a tail, as well as a collar.
When he approaches to put them on her, she steps back, because she has experienced it once before.
"Now you think this is insulting, but I'm sure you'll enjoy it later. You'll dream of this wanting it to happen again."
"I won't--"
He interrupts her. "They always do."
The next step Lawrence takes is not stopped by Coldness Divine. It is then that she feels a strange object enter her rear and then a headband that secures to her hair. The strange thing about this is that both items begin to slowly suck her mana and then seem to come alive.
Both the dog ears and tail begin to move.
"Follow me, I'll give you a tour of the mansion."
When the collar fastens around her neck, Coldness Divine gets down on all fours, with watery eyes and blushing cheeks, and voluntarily barks.
"Woof!"
Because this is not the first time this has happened.
