"You're telling me those things were all Shikigami? They were so different from one another they didn't even look like Spirits or anything close to them..." I muttered.
"Well, Shikigami are also closely related with Yokai, and can be sometimes Ghosts and Monsters," explained Belle. "Yuki's special, her Shikigami are shapeless, but they can take upon forms based on her own experiences. I injected her memories and knowledge about every Yokai I've faced in my previous life, and now she has a huge repertoire to draw from. Without taking a form, her Shikigami are probably very weak, but once they realize their form and shape, they can become very useful and strong depending on the type that is made."
"Okay, I get it..." I nodded. "So that's how it works, huh? That's just pretty amazing, Yuki. Congrats! Now you'll be able to summon your own personal army of Yokai, do you like the idea?"
"I-I love it! I finally can do more!" Yuki celebrated. "But I might need some time alone to think about strategies and how to use them properly..."
"Ah okay then, I thought you would ask me for a spar to test your abilities or something, haha," I laughed a bit.
"Ah no way! I don't want to fight a monster like you... You'll just beat the crap out of me before I even get a chance!" Yuki complained.
"Aw come on, I wouldn't be so rude," I said. "But whatever, I'll leave you two here then, I have to go... Do you still need Astra's help, Belle?"
"Ah, I would love to inspect her composition a bit more and see the extent of her abilities," Belle said. "I could probably create my own Psychic Spirits once I analyze her enough... And maybe take a few little samples? Like from her hair?"
"Huh, and why should I let you do that?" I asked her. "I-" "You..."
TRUUUM!
"Huh?"
Suddenly, the entire area around us became dark, the Dream Landscape of my Divine Realm was still below her control after all.
"You've forgotten your promise, Drake?!"
Belle's graceful and beautiful body changed, becoming a gigantic, monstrous fox with huge jaws, sharp teeth, and pointy pink hair.
"You destroyed my entire Legacy and absorbed it for yourself!"
Her spiraling red eyes were horrendously scary, and her surroundings constantly warped and transformed into thousands of agonizing nightmarish specters.
"And my resurrection was almost completely stopped because of you!"
Her gigantic claws rushed towards me, as I saw her massive tails moving around like vipers, stopping me from even escaping her grasp.
Her body grew larger and larger, and I felt an immense pressure that could almost crush me.
The more Fate weakened, the more her powers came back...
She was truly a monster among monsters!
"You're still raising and feeding my Egg with all the dragon blood and energy you can, right? YOU OWE ME THAT MUCH AFTER YOU RUINED ALMOST EVERYTHING!"
"Yes Belle, I am doing all of that..."
I sighed facepalming, although it was a lot of power, I've grown much stronger than before, and I didn't truly feel helpless.
If anything, to me it was as if she was having a huge tantrum.
But honestly, she wasn't wrong, I did her dirty.
"Fine you can keep Astra for a while, enough with your giant form already! It's creepy as hell!"
"HEH..."
As she laughed showing me her sharp teeth, her giant tongue licked my whole body! Ugh...
"This isn't a transformation or giant form, this is my actual true appearance, you know? As you become a Venerable, your very being becomes warped, you become a calamity, an embodiment of your element..."
"Is that so... Well, I was already a dragon, so I won't be affected."
She smiled again and laughed.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh yeah? You really believe that, Drake? We'll see...'
She continued teasing me with her claws, until I had enough. "Enough already! Go back!"
"Fine, fine~"
POOF!
She went back to her original form, clothes and all, and then she glanced at Yuki while I was still sweating cold sweat while sighing in relief.
"See Yuki? This is how you intimidate a man," she explained. "And how you dominate them."
"Oooh..." Yuki nodded. "Thank you for the insight, master."
"I am not your master!" Belle complained angrily. "I would never take disciples and... Haaah, who am I fooling? At this point I might as well be."
Looks like she's back to normal and also as annoying as ever, huh?
Well, whatever the case, I'm out.
"Astra, you want to stay and help Belle in her research?" I asked her first. "I won't force you so
I will only give you a request you can also reject, you can do whatever you want."
Astra looked at me for a moment with her star-like eyes, and then at Belle.
"Pretty please Astra?" Belle asked her with a baby voice. "I promise I will give you anything you want! Spirit Treasures, Spirit Food, Souls, anything that can help you grow stronger and
very yummy!"
"...!" Astra was convinced instantly as she saw a huge amount of Spirit Treasures Belle pulled out of nowhere.
"No way you convinced her with treasures and shit?!" I asked in disbelief. "A-Astra, is this
how easy you are?"
|| ||
She only gave me a single look and then completely forgot about me, moving towards Belle's
side.
Is this Spirit NTR? Am I being cucked out of my spirit by Belle now?!
At the end, she preferred the much richer and better Spirit Magician than me!
...
Or maybe I should stop overthinking and let her be.
"Well, that's how it's going to be huh..." I laughed. "Whatever, I have to go play Kirbo with
my daughters, see ya."
I disappeared from there, as I quickly "unsummoned" my Doppelganger Divine Spirit back to
my Soul, where it remained motionless in there.
"Papa! You're dying a lot!" I heard Benladra laughing at me.
"You seem unfocused..." Kate said.
"A-Ah! Sorry, sorry, I'm 100% now!" I nodded. "Let's beat that annoying apple-throwing
tree already!"
