Ethan Was finally dressed and heading into the guild to tell the master about what happened at the forest.
He let the proceedings commence and admits that He is fine with staying behind. He doesn't think the Slave Cuffs and their chains are long enough to reach that place anyhow.
"Stop!" He hears. "Eh?" Ethan asks as a Human with Blonde hair and Blue Eyes wearing gold armor walks to them. "You. Demon and Black eyed man. I demand you release these fair maidens at once!" He says. "Oh I see. Yeah sorry bud no can do. since we messed up the ritual for a summon I became a slave owner to two of them and diablo became the Slave owner to Shera. Again we didn't actually enslave anything. if anything we suck at it." Ethan acted.
His skills in acting seems to have worked. as The Man relents. "I see. Well still I must apologize for inconveniencing you folks." Emile says. "Nah its cool mate." Ethan suddenly goes to his side to whisper something. "But word of advice. I suggest that you drop the protecter of woman schtick. It won't be long until some one thinks it is because you're being a hero just because you want a piece of ass. Take it from someone who suffered the consequences of that." Ethan says. Emile seemed to flinch at the explicit reality of his situation but nods.
"I see. I'll take your advice to Heart friend." Emile says. Ethan procures a Phone with downloaded series on it. "Here. Its a mini library of books and such. I suggest reading them and reflecting on your character with them." Ethan says.
"Thank you." He says as the group leaves.
"That was quite nice of you. What's the catch?" Ruby asks already knowing what he is gonna do.
"Just helping him out. Besides it won't be doing him any real harm." Ethan replies.
"Uh huh." Ruby says. Clearly not believing him.
"Well we're gonna head off to the Quest. Don't leave the city please." Diablo says. "Don't worry. I'm actually gonna explore it a Bit. See what I can do." Ethan says. He and Ruby head off as do Diablo and Shera while Rem heads back to the inn.
(Later)
"Well no such luck there." Ethan says as they tried to get a Thing of snacks. "Yeah." Ruby says.
"What to do now?" Ethan thinks. He then notices something definitely not of this time period.
"What the?" Ethan comments. He looks over to see a Love machine tester. "Huh. Guess this universe is a Bit more advanced?" He asks. "What is it?" Ruby asks.
Ethan walks up to it. "Its a Love Machine Tester. My state had these things at the Arcade where I managed to get a part time job at. It was just a Scam but it wouldn't hurt to try this thing. Maybe some magic is involved with it?" Ethan asks himself. The two looked at the amusement with interest in it.
It is standing 1.9 m tall and constructed from American chestnut wood, brass, and glass, with a brass handgrip on the front and topped with a tall lightbox.
Besides the grip is a Brass plate with an Engraved text. "Find the One for you! Test your love, and find that one special someone you are destined to spend the rest of your life with! Your sweetheart is waiting!"
"Seems simple enough." Ethan says. "Wanna try it?" Ethan asks Ruby. She shrugs. bored enough as it is. "Sure. Could be fun." She mentions. Ethan procures a Coin and dispensed it in the slot. He grabs the Grip and It powers on.
It sparked and then lit up all panels except Please Try again and Clammy. The slot under the Grip dispensed a Card with a Literal Touch screen. Ethan took it and raised an Eyebrow. clearly intrigued now.
His Face was black as his blood rushed to it. It was a Literal list of girls he doesn't know about suggested as Harem members. And what's Worse is he found five names he knew on there. He hid it away Clearly embarrassed.
Meanwhile Ruby was getting her card and she suffered the same fate. It said:
Ethan D. Sanchez.
Don't fret. He does like you still. he just doesn't know he just doesn't believe he deserves you. Go get him girl, Be Paitent, and be ready to share.
Ruby hid her card in her skirt clearly embarrassed now. "So how about we go do something else. Good for you?" Ethan asks trying to forget what transpired. "Yeah I'm good with that." Ruby smiles. Ethan blushed at her cute smile. 'Dammit! No in fact, DAMN YOU LOVE TESTER!' Ethan blames.
His PDA updates with a File named SCP-2203. But when he opened it was redacted before deleting itself. 'Okay?' Ethan comments.
'Weird. But nothing I shouldn't expect. Maybe Madko knows what's going on?' Ethan thought.
He was interrupted by a fallen charging through a wall. He saw him hold the corpses of Two sorcerers and Rem and that one chick he can't remember the name of running away. He chased after them as did Ruby. Ready to fight.
He Took off his Necklace and Reshaped a Glove to Hold the charm on its Middle finger.
"TEMPEST ARROW FIST!" He casts. His Second semblance which is a Copy of Ruby's combined with his New spell. making a Blue Rose petal filled tornado engulf him and Topple over the Fallen soldier. He stops to See that it turned the charm into a new Carapace like armor on his Middle finger. Resembling a Wide ring. He grabs the handle of his sword and draws the blade ready to fight.
"Urgh. You're gonna Pay for that Human." Gregore says. he couldn't even cast a spell before a Sniper Bullet hits his shoulder. Piercing Flesh. "AGH!" He yells as Ruby dashes to Ethan's Side.
"You give me covering fire? I'll Distract him." Ethan says. "If you can keep up." Ruby smirks.
"You... I'M GONNA TEAR YOU LIMB FROM LIMB!" Gregore yells before holding arms out. "DARK BULLETS!" He yells and Bullets made of Darkness fire off his palms towards the two.
Ethan Lifted his hand and a Construct of a Blue energy wall erupts to block each bullets. He felt the impacts and let his Wall shove Gregore back into a Wall. It dispells just in Time to slash and fire Crescent Rose. Cutting a sizable gash in him and following that up with many more. making a Bloody Snowflake in his Chest riddled with Gun shots and gashes. He clutches His chest Clearly in pain.
Ethan felt his Eyes change into Blue slits in a Black background and surprisingly, His Ears and Tail changed to a Pantherian's with the Tip of his pantherian tale holding the Wolf tail on the tip. Clearly attached and Grown out his. He Felt his Fingers crack and His Blood Flowed into his blade covering the edge.
It stops bleeding and heals the Carapace to Let Ethan Cast his Magic. "Hoja de sangre negra." He said in Spanish. He drew it and it forcefully cut the air. The Arc of energy was quickly solidified Black Blood That fley through the Air and Bisected Gregore.
Ethan wasn't done. He reached with his Other to infect the Dead Fallen. The Blood liquified and merged with the slowly falling pieces to Stitch every single thing together. Healing the wounds and making the Dead Corpse of Gregore stand.
Ethan Smirks. Because He Clenched his Fist and the Corpse started to Compress. It was slow So he cast A new Spell. "Dark Press." A Pitch black of of darkness with three Rings around it and six Smaller Orbs of Darkness with one ring around each of the bigger orb and on top and Bottom of it floated towards the corpse. Right above it casting Gravity magic. It boosted the process and Ethan smilled as Gregore was nothing more than a Marble now.
"Dark Gem." Ethan casts. The marble crystallized into a pure black pearl that fell into his hand.
His slits became normal silver eyes and Ethan stumbled and passed out.
