Chapter 165 165: Home!



Alexander was sent flying backwards, his feet dragging in the desert sand while watching the strange phenomenon that Kaliara was suffering.

The sword in her chest slipped out, her body convulsing and trembling with the red and black veins swelling under her skin, causing blood to ooze from her pores.

A strange energy began to pulsate around her like an oscillating barrier.

'What's going on? Wasn't it simple, Eien!' Alex murmured in his mind.

He tried to push his body forward, but the strange energy force caused his steps to remain in the same place even when he used all his strength.

"Ugh!?" She let out a pained scream, a spurt of blood vomiting from her mouth.

The black blood was thick like jelly.

Once it landed, the sand began to sizzle and dissolve. This blood was something profane and dangerous.

"Eien!" Alex shouted out, worried there might be something wrong, maybe a defence mechanism inside the demoness.

He began to claw at the strange barrier using his hands which gradually transformed into his ghoul form.

Only the hands tore the barrier ripping small chunks to allow his body to pass through eventually.

"I'm here!" 

His voice echoed in the strange barrier instantly repaired around him.

He rushed forward, grasping Eien's hands, rubbing her arms, hoping his presence would soothe her.

Yet her face was still in pain, no matter if he bit into his wrist, dripping his blood into her wounds.





Alex tried to use his blood to heal the wounds and boost her recovery.

However, she became worse when his blood absorbed her body, and the small cuts on her flesh deepened. He felt like his blood started tearing her apart as her eyes were filled with blood tears.

"Ugh... it hurts... Master..."

"Fuck.... It hurts... Master!" 

Two voices were superimposed: the foul-mouthed Eien and the other Kaliara's more feminine voice.

He was slightly dazed for an instant, but hearing words felt like an improvement as he watched her red flesh tighten before expelling more tar-like blood.

Alexander was worried because he knew how much pain it caused when muscles began to wriggle around that way, and bones snapped and repaired rapidly.

Yet he was powerless, only able to wipe away the blood, sweat and ooze from her body.

Kaliara's eyes were turning from crimson to dark blue almost every second.

"Master... Master..." Kaliara's softer voice was jarring compared to her aggressive tone.

Eien's voice was harsh, like metal scraping together. "Where the fuck are you?!"

He could feel her hand trying to move and grip his tightly, but there was no power, and whenever she got a moment to breathe, the cycle of her transformation would restart.

'Let's just support her, wait and see. All I can do is this for now. She isn't a Vesta, so my blood won't heal her...'

Alexander was unsure how long had passed; was it an hour, minutes or days? He spent the time cleaning, massaging, and soothing before finally, the worst of it finished, her former huge body shrinking slightly to the same height as Claire, just over 6ft 8 inches. 

Her hair was now a beautiful black, with a glossy shine, a single red strand at the edge of her fringe.

It seemed her change was just like the Vesta. Eien's transformation also followed his tastes.

Her thick thighs filled with tight muscles, and her abs remained, but her breasts became softer, slightly smaller as they flopped on her chest with inverted nipples.

Her ass was larger but much softer to the touch as Alex began to make sure her body was fine.

'I can't help but enjoy the feeling of your new body Eien, so much smoother and squishier than your sword form.'

The bones were strong enough to match his but slightly weaker; her toes were cute and well-shaped, although he hated feet.

Eien's feet were beautiful, just like her long fingers, slim like swords with sharp nails at the tips with a beautiful black finish.

She remained a demon, but her skin was still a beautiful red, while her eyes opened, revealing a strange phenomenon, heterochromia; one eye was golden, the other crimson like the blade of Eien.

[Alexander, it's time for you to leave.]

[You have succeeded]

'Wait... Will Eien come with me!? Old man!'

[Old man!? Oh... right...]

[She is classified as your weapon, not a person.]

[Just like those souls in the sword, all of them will follow you back.]

'You said another wave would come; what if they attack Qilana and Listrea!'

[Do not worry; the second wave of demons is bound to contract.]

[They can ONLY attack Selmot because you managed to save it without damage...]

[You performed your tasks too well, stupid man.]

'How can it be too well? Aren't quests there for people to clear to their best ability? Don't rob me of my rewards, old man!' 

[I... I would never, you little bastard! Ensure you treat my little girl well. Otherwise, I'll beat your little ass!]

'Heh! She's super beautiful; I will be the best gentleman to her! But you old man! Peh! Eat my spit!'

[...]

[(You speak to my dad this way!? Why didn't he smite you!)]

'Let me wait until she is awake and ready to return.'

[Mm, no problem. I am a little tired, so when you are ready, crush this coin.]

Pling!

A small silver coin with the image of Saphira appeared on the ground beside him. It wasn't as sturdy as a real coin, though, when he felt it.

'Thanks, old man, your daughter is pretty. Are you sure she's yours?'

There was no reply.

She began to stir a few moments later, her body seeming hard to move, but her beautiful eyes flickered several times. 

Whereas before, they looked lifeless, like small balls, they were now shimmering and filled with life.

Her eyes fixated on Alexander's figure, a faint smile on his face while looking at her gently.

"Master, you look so beautiful with these eyes~ I almost fell for you again." 

[Keh, master you were playing with my ass; now my lower body is tingling again.]

Alexander looked at the red-skinned beauty with a strange confusion; just like before, two voices came out when she spoke to him. 

One vulgar and direct.

One gentle and soft.

"How are you feeling, Eien?"

"My body is sore, but I feel even more powerful than before. I am glad we are no longer enemies, Master."

[Ah, you just spent hours banging me with that monster cock. So my cunt is aching and sore, and my legs are throbbing... I am just fine, Master~ but a kiss might fix everything!]

'This is giving me a fucking headache...' He complained in his mind.

Still reaching out, he helped her stand as he took the silver coin in his palm; it was cold and soothing, like the ocean in summer.

"We are going back. Do you think you can handle it?" 

"Ah, we're finally going home? I am so glad; no more desert wenches stealing you. Let's find a nice room before you rush back to Stella, ok?"

[Ah, I cannot wait to see your world! I would love to see the place where you grew up! You are a bit rough and violent, but you beat me, and that's all I need to follow you.]

"Hahahaha."

Alexander found it amusing that Eien was more of a demoness now than the original Kaliara.

He quickly snapped the coin between his fingers, not bothering to chest his current status or Eien's because he just wanted to go back.

No matter how much he loved Qilana, Zilna and the rest. The sooner his world reached the third wave, he could spend forever with them. 

Who knows, he might find another quest for this world again shortly.

Sarah.

Mother.

Amy.

Those were his priority after Stella's feelings and worries were dealt with.

"Hold my body; I am unsure if you will be taken with me otherwise."

"Mmm~"

[Nnn~]

Kaliara's huge body was slightly taller than Alex now, her arms wrapping around his body, all four of them. 

She seemed to use two to stroke and caress his body, feeling his muscles and abs, while the other two anchored her to his body.

'What a useful set of arms; I am a little jealous... It reminds me of Rikala... That girl was fun.'

"Let's go home."

Alexander's hand grasped the coin, his other arm wrapped around the soft body of Eien, enjoying her squishy ass before he snapped the coin.

A burst of blue enveloped them. It was like the sea suddenly appeared in the desert and rained down on them like a water pillar.

The moment the water touched his skin, his body became translucent.

A moment later, their bodies vanished completely from the desert world, and he appeared in the centre of the forsaken village.

Alex looked around, wondering why they seemed strange.

He wondered why everyone looked at them with shock and fear; maybe something happened, but he couldn't be sure. Instead, he pulled Eien away.

Their goal was two:

Hand in the quests for rewards, and get as much benefit from the cores of the monsters he killed.

See if demons can get jobs and register as dimensional mercenaries.

After that, it was time to visit home.
