People probably can't read but whatever I'm still going to point this out again.
I recently got a review and a message, 2 different people. Both saying how I rushed chapter 19 and 20?
I'm very positive I stated at the beginning when I made this fanfiction, that I'm not good at detailing so Chapters will be short. I'm getting better but their not perfect.
So the only way it could possibly be rushed is the fact that you read way to fast to comprehend anything. Sivert's backstory chapter I did rush because I wanted to get it over with but there aren't other chapters that I truly rushed. Again, I'm not good at detailing and I'm trying my best.
Aside from that.
Never thought I'd make something like this but whatever.
After some.. talking with my friend about Sivert's development. I decided to change things up and even create someone new.
Someone.. who's a little crazy.
Nothing he can't handle though.
Uh so.. I hope you enjoy?
Chapter 25, Lust..
Hehehe…
It was beautiful.
The fiery landscapes with erupting volcanoes and lakes of lava. This landscape was hell.
"You did excellent Surtr. This is just the spice I needed.." Sivert praised the Demon for his work.
"Thank you my Lord." Surtr lowered his head as his heart fluttered with joy.
This was a plan Sivert had in mind once he took in Misora and Surtr.
After witnessing the intense boredom around the Temple, Guardians getting tired of crucible matches daily and barely any monsters out to slay.
He decided to create something new! Something that might be too hot for them.
An island far from the center of his Throne World, a Volcanic landscape with raging volcanoes and dangerous monsters roaming the area.
Sitting in the center of the island and on a lake of Lava was a lone Pyramid ship. Surtr's new home.
The Guardians will have to make their way through the harsh landscape and dangerous monsters to Surtr's Pyramid Ship to fight the demon himself.
Of course, being a Guardian himself. He knows the Guardians won't do it if it's just to increase their strength alone.
So.. There will be riches if they succeed in taking down the Demon.
Originally there was a problem as Sivert knew it'd get to a point where the Guardians will be able to take Surtr down. Not wanting his precious subordinate to perish he desired to find a way to keep him alive.
To Sivert's surprise, the desire was a little to strong and eventually took the form of a skill.
'Overseer'.
It merged with his ultimate skill Lord of Light, granting Sivert better and easier control over his Throne World.
The best part of this ability though was the fact that Sivert could prevent deaths. Those who die in his Throne World will be resurrected instantly if Sivert so desires.
Not only with that keep Surtr alive if he is struck down but the hundreds of Scorn Misora just forcefully recruited.
There was also another skill that Sivert acquired, this was from his desire for easier travel.
'Universal Travel.'
It merged with his ultimate skill Lord of Darkness. Sivert doesn't have to use the Pyramid Tech to travel back to his universe.
He can do with it ease though it will consume a ton of energy which is surprising for a skill.
Not only does it allow for easier travel to his universe but it allows him to also easily travel throughout the world. All he has to do is picture the area he wants to go in his mind and go there. A quick transportation method.
"They are weak but I believe I may be able to shape them into the right monsters you wish to create." Surtr told the Hunter once meeting the Scorn.
"Great! Just make sure you can control them."
The Hunter did worry that the Scorn might resist after seeing him, a Lightbearer but just like that raider Sivert killed a few months ago.
All of these Scorn kneeled before him and though he does not know how. Sivert connected his mind with theirs when he was examining them.
It was like a hive mind with Sivert and Surtr being the center.
Not only does Sivert have the Scorn but he also has the Taken as well. Being throned the 'Taken King' by the Witness a few years ago he was given control over the thousands of taken the Witness owned.
So they would be of use as well.
"Are you sure about this?"
Aria worryingly asked her Guardian.
"Yes. I believe it's best to keep them alive as they serve some use."
Sivert wanted the Guardians to get stronger and he's confident this will help.
"Alright then. Since this is done what will you do about the Guardian's Misora met?"
The Hunter shrugged at her question. "Nothing much. As long as they don't seek quarrel with me then I would like to talk to them."
Sivert turned to look at Surtr. "Feel free to add anything you deem will help add challenge to this plan of mine. Until then, prepare the Scorn and I will let you know until It's time to test this out."
The Demon Peer gave a short nod before departing to his Pyramid Ship.
"Now. Let's go back."
Sivert arrived in his room in the Temple and managed to appear at the wrong time.
"AH!"
He appeared right in front of Lyra who was covering herself with a towel. She just finished taking a nice warm bath.
"Don't just appear out of nowhere!" she shouted at him in anger.
"What? You're the one naked in my room! Go to yours and change!" Sivert shouted back in defense.
"Well.. since were sleeping together I moved everything to your room! Remember?!"
Suddenly the doors to Sivert's room were slammed open.
It was the Warlock Aurora.
"Sivert-" She stopped once she saw Lyra. Her brown eyes turned to Sivert.
"Shit! I'm sorry. I didn't know you two were like that!"
"It's not what it looks like!"
Lyra quickly explained.
"You sure? Your literally naked in his room!"
"Were sleeping together that's why!"
Aurora turned and looked at Sivert.
"Well you can make babies later. There's some Elf out here with two others. She's a Lightbearer and she's demanding to see the blue demon she saw. I think she means Misora?"
Sivert ignored that first sentence, "That quick huh…" he whispered under his breath.
"Alright then."
He walked past Aurora and out of his room.
Aurora faced back at Lyra who was a blushing mess. "So I did ruin the initiation to the act."
"No!" Lyra ran and shut the doors to Sivert's room.
"I meant were just sleeping in bed together. Not making love!"
Aurora stared into her fellow Warlock's silver eyes.
"Sure.. just hurry up and get a married then. He has enough women chasing after him already. A ring on his finger will keep them away." Aurora casually replied before opening the doors and walking out.
Lyra balled both her hands into fist. She was going to kill her!
Sivert made his way to the front entrance where a few other Guardians were. He spotted the Elf Aurora mentioned.
She was quickly entranced by her beauty! Oh how Sivert loved Elves and right now. He's sure he was looking at the most beautiful one right now.
Even if she was giving him a mean glare that reminded him of a fellow student of his.
Her long braided golden hair and beautiful diamond blue eyes were the most notable of her features. Her skin looked so smooth and soft, not only that though. Her body was perfect!
Even though they were covered by her white and golden robes Sivert knows she had perfect breasts as well!
Ah..
He could stare at her until the end of time!
"Man I've really become a pervert.." The Hunter mentally cursed himself and regained his composure.
She carried a golden staff and judging by Sivert's analyzation of her.
She was a Saint..
There were two other companions with her but Sivert paid no mind to them right now.
"Hello!"
The Hunter gave them a friendly greeting. "I'm Sivert." along with an introduction.
There was no response, the Beauty only stared at him in silence. She looked down at the hand he was holding out, hoping she'd shake it.
"I'm here for the Demon and it's master. Not you Hunter."
Ouch..
The first time Sivert's ever been rejected a handshake by a beauty.
"Well.. I'm Misora's master. Misora."
Once he called her name the loyal Demon Peer appeared next to Sivert, immediately putting the visitors on their Guard.
"I see.."
Sivert could feel them tense up. "Hm. How about I guide you inside and get you some food and drinks. That way I can explain everything."
The Hunter did not want to resort to violence with fellow Lightbearer's unless absolutely necessary.
The beauty looked back down at his hand, she reached out her left hand.
"I'm Nimerah and yes. We would like that."
She shook his hand.
Her skin was so soft! However he didn't care to much about that. He's more glad that he was able to convince them to talk.
Kingdom of Ingrassia
Fufufu.. Perfect.
An excellent site!
Rimuru wouldn't normally do this but he couldn't resist looking at the beautiful elves walking out of that expensive bar across the street.
He was just coming back from buying sweets for the children as a reward for being strong as he helped them acquire Elementals.
They were saved..
Shizue could rest in peace now.
That aside, Rimuru really wanted to go back in that bar. But he didn't have any money!
"Oh well.. maybe another time."
Rimuru shook his head. No! He'll just have a bar just like that built in Tempest and hire many beauties!
Hehehe! A paradise it shall be!
The Slime turned his attention away from the bar and continued on down the street.
However he stopped after two steps.
Rimuru looked around.
"Isn't there less people then usual.." He quietly asked himself and his secret partner.
{Confirmed! The amount of civilians in this district is usually much higher than the current amount. It is likely that an event is going to occur.}
Great Sage's explanation wasn't really helpful. This was the merchant district! Rimuru understood that but what event is going to happen?
"There! Here they come."
Rimuru turned to look back at the bar, there were a few old and middle aged men in nice tailored suits. One was pointing down the street Rimuru was walking down.
As soon as they pointed Rimuru heard the sounds of multiple Horse Hoofs coming in contact with the streets.
Rimuru spotted three fancy carriages accompanied with two wagons make their way down the street.
Judging by the luxurious carriages, was an important figure about to arrive?
Now Rimuru was very curious!
The wagon train stopped right in front of the bar and a few men and women wearing finely tailored suits and other clothing stepped out from the carriages.
The Mafia!?
Rimuru quickly came to the conclusion. He's seen to many films to know what a Mafia would look like.
And judging by the flat caps, bowler hats and trilby hats these men and women wore along with their outfits.
He must be right..
Rimuru's eyes widened once he spotted the holstered guns on each of their belts.
The slime became nervous, was a shootout about to occur?! Because it would totally be one sided.
Those old men don't stand a chance!
Two men in suits jogged to the middle carriage and opened the door to it, stepping out was a women who looked different than the others.
She wore a white tailored shirt, a black vest with silver strips, black pants and boots along with black fingerless gloves.
"Woah.." Rimuru whispered in amazement.
She was a beauty. A young women with brown hair and eyes along with slightly tanned skin. Her hair was done in a braided pony tail that reached down to her waist.
Despite her ridiculous beauty..
She was a fighter alright. It was easy for Rimuru to tell as he secretly analyzed her.
The women reached her left hand into the carriage and pulled out a black short and flat cowboy like hat, putting it on her head.
"She reminds me of Sivert with the way she dresses. Just not that hat.." Rimuru whispered again as he admired her.
His eyes slowly shifted down to her waist, she wore a black belt with two holsters on her left and right.
She had two hand cannons in both the holsters.
A Cowboy girl?! No..
Rimuru was even more interested not because of her outfit but because of those hand cannons.
They looked similar to Sivert's Ace in design but they looked different with pearl white like grips. The rest of the hand cannons were made out of a black material with golden engravings in them.
They looked so cool!
And as if nothing could surprise Rimuru more, a little light materialized next to the women.
A Ghost!
He made sure to ask his partner if he was seeing things.
{Negative. It is radiating the similar energy as previous Ghosts master has encountered.}
Great Sage confirmed as it recognized the same energy it radiated, courtesy to the Guardians led by Sivert.
"Lady Lethaea! We are honored to meet you. If only had you sent a message tha-"
"Shut it. I not here to socialize. I came here for the money. I lent you loan remember? You haven't paid back." The now named Lethaea spoke in a cold and angered tone.
Rimuru being a little gossiper listened closer.
"Forgive me my lady! We do not have your money yet. We beg of you to give us more time."
The men dropped to their knees before her and begged.
"Bullshit!" Lethaea crouched down. "My boys saw you giving several bags of gold coins to a merchant. Where's my money? I helped you escape the east but I'm ready to take you back."
Fear consumed them and tears started pouring out from their eyes. "Forgive us! It was his fault, he wanted to deal with another merchant behind your back."
Three of the men pointed at the young man kneeling in front of Lethaea.
"What?! Wait no! Their lying."
Rimuru would love some popcorn right now! This was getting spicy!
Lethaea stood up, "I helped you escape the East where your wanted for scam operations. I helped you get set up here in the West and even bought a bar for you to run. All I asked in return was fifty gold coins every five months. It's a simple fucking concept."
The strong language caught Rimuru off guard and a few other spectators.
"Please! We do not have it!"
Lethaea crossed her arms and turned her eyes towards the entrance of the bar. Stepping out were two of her men, holding a large chest.
"We searched and found this my lady."
Rimuru could see the fear on the faces of those four men. Literally.. he could see it.
They set the chest down in front of her and opened it. Inside was at least a few thousand gold coins.
"Don't have it huh?" Lethaea chuckled and placed both her hands on her hips.
She shook her head. "Put it in my carriage. Take them."
"Wait! Please we beg of you!"
The four men were being restrained by chain cuffs and dragged into a black wagon that arrived.
It looked like a cage.
"My boys are going to ride you into the Empire and watch them hang you. While earning extra gold for bringing you in."
The squeals of the men were like music to Lethaea's ears.
Rimuru would have stepped in had he not heard that they were wanted in the Empire. He wouldn't get involved in such matters..
It wasn't his business.
"Stupid greedy little pigs.." Lethaea sighed and crossed her arms and stood still in silence.
It took a minute for Rimuru to realize he was staring right at her.
And she was staring back.
He quickly panicked and looked at away while fixing a small glance back at her to see if she was still staring.
He saw a smirk on those beautiful lips of hers.
"Let's go before those Holy Church pricks get here." Lethaea ordered as she quickly entered her carriage.
The wagon train quickly took off.
"Man.." Rimuru looked down at his hands, they were shaking.
He wasn't scared. Just amazed.
She is the prime example of what he would call a sexy badass!
He quickly regained his composure, "I need to get back. And Tell Sivert what I just saw."
That women had a ghost with her.. she was a Lightbearer! And a powerful one.
Rimuru quickly made his way down the street and continued back towards the academy, pondering on what he just saw as well.
He had so many questions.
Was that Guardian some mob boss? And why?
And by the earlier conversation she might also be a merchant.
"Perhaps I could ask Mjollmile-kun."
Rimuru's new friend/business partner might have some information about her!
After several minutes of walking and pondering Rimuru made it to the academy. Sadly..
It seems things weren't over just yet.
Standing next to the gate that led into the academy were three men and one women.
All wearing tailored clothing and suits just like the people Rimuru saw earlier. And..
They all had holstered guns. Rimuru focused his eyes on their guns. He doesn't know a lot about the guns Sivert used in his old world.
But Rimuru has some knowledge of guns from his world.
The holstered guns these four individuals has were Mauser Pistols. Each customized to the owner's liking.
{Report. The weapons are made from magisteel and are capable of firing a variety of magic bullets and kinetic bullets similar to the weapon 'Ace of Spades'}
"Of course…" The slime whispered.
Rimuru didn't want to get involved! How did they find out where he worked at so quickly?!
He took a deep breath and calmed himself. Maybe their not here for him!
Rimuru walked towards the gate and avoided looking at the four people standing next to it.
He opened the gate and entered the academy grounds.
Yes! He cheered mentally.
They weren't here for him!
The sounds of her black boots touching the brick floor were heard.
Rimuru turned around and the four were standing next to each other in a line, looking straight at him.
One of them threw the cigar they were smoking and cleared his throat.
"Hey.."
He held out both his hands.
"Come over here."
It was not a choice, and Rimuru knew that.
The sounds of the children playing within the academy were heard. Rimuru did not want to fight here where there were so many children around.
And they knew that very well just by looking at that worried expression of his.
"Do you guys need something from me?"
He asked as he walked towards them.
"Our mistress desires your presence. Leader of the Monster Nation…" The man whispered the last part, shocking Rimuru.
"I don't know what your talking about." Rimuru denied it within an instant.
"Mhm.. Sure. Our mistress wishes to meet you and we will fulfil that wish. Whether it be the hard or easy way.."
Rimuru sighed once he heard those words.
"Alright.. can I just bring these in for my class?"
He showed them the box of cookies he was carrying.
"Be quick.."
Well they had a heart at least.
Rimuru did just that, rushing towards the classroom and leaving the cookies in there for the students when they wake up.
One he made his way back outside there was a was carriage out front. Similar to the ones he saw earlier.
The door was open for Rimuru and he slowly made his way into the carriage. The interior was beautiful, making Rimuru feel like a king once he sat down on the comfy red leather seats.
The door was closed and the horses started pulling the wagon. Rimuru was silent the whole journey, he was very nervous.
Within several minutes, the carriage stopped and Rimuru looked through the windows.
It stopped right in front of a large beautiful manor.
Oh yeah..
This person was very wealthy.
The carriage door was opened for Rimuru, "Right this way." A young women in a waitress like suit with short brown hair and green eyes guided.
Rimuru stepped out of the carriage and followed her and admired the beautiful front yard as he did.
The two walked down a brick pathway that led to the front entrance, though for some reason the women stopped at the front door instead of opening it.
"For security reasons you are going to be transmitted to my ladies office."
Rimuru's eyes widened. "Wait? Transmit?" they have that technology?!
"Goodbye."
The women gave him a small friendly wave as Rimuru quickly disappeared.
The slime arrived in a luxurious and large office. It was very refined and well decorated. Making him feel out of place, even if he did run his own nation. His office was not as nice as this one.
"My lady, your guest has arrived." Rimuru heard voices outside the office, He turned to look at the dark wooden doors that led inside and outside.
The two doors opened and the women Rimuru saw earlier was standing there. She closed the doors.
"Sorry if this is so sudden but I wanted to meet you right away. Rimuru is it? Mjollmile-kun has talked a lot about you."
The mention of his new friend surprised the slime. "You know him?"
Lethaea chuckled a little and walked towards him. "Oh yeah. He's like a little brother to me. I showed him the reins and he soon became a popular merchant within the span of a few years. Lethaea Light, nice to finally meet."
Oh..
She must not know that the last name 'Light' is already being used. Unless Sivert knows of her.
What if she's his secret wife? Rimuru has so many questions.
"I see.. Rimuru Tempest." Rimuru held out his right hand but Lethaea ignored it, instead she slowly walked around him.
Examining him.
"Your very cute."
Rimuru could hear and feel the desire within her tone.
"Thank you?.."
Suddenly Lethaea did the unspeakable, slapping Rimuru's butt with no care whatsoever.
"AH! What are you doing?!"
Rimuru turned around and backed away from her.
"Aw.. you don't have a gender. Sorry about that. I was looking forward to having fun with you after a few drinks."
"Having.. fun?" Rimuru stuttered. Ignoring the fact that she knew he had no gender.
"Mhm.. I'm interested in both sexes. So it didn't matter to me if you were a boy or a girl. I was going to take you either way. Sadly your neither.."
Lethaea walked closer and leaned down, shaking the hand she didn't earlier before turning back around and walking towards her desk.
Rimuru had no words for what he just heard. Had he been in his original self where he was human. He most definitely would've passed out from excitement.
"My love! I've come to win your heart!"
Suddenly there was a shout coming from outside. Lethaea leaned closer to the window behind her desk and pushed the curtains aside just a little.
Curious, Rimuru peeked out a different window to look.
Standing outside was a man holding red flowers, a young man.
"Clearly he hasn't heard of a one night stand. You can ignore him." Lethaea assured Rimuru as she sat down in her comfy brown leather rolling chair.
She took off her black hat and placed it on her desk.
"One night stand?"
Rimuru hasn't heard that in a long time!
"Oh yeah.. I was bored at this party a few days ago so I decided to have fun with a noble who kept looking at me. You should've seen how small his pecker was! Hahaha!"
Had Rimuru still been human, he most definitely would've felt sorry for that noble. As he could relate with the size..
"Anyways. Sit down please. I'm sure you have many questions."
That carefree tone of hers was replaced with a slightly serious one.
Rimuru sat down on the leather chair opposite side of her desk.
"Yes I do. First is why did you want to see me?"
Lethaea leaned back on her chair. "Well since Mjollmile-kun kept talking about you I wanted to see you for myself. Especially when he showed me one of your healing potions from your Nation."
She reached out and opened a drawer from underneath her desk, pulling out a Tempest high grade healing potion and placing it on the desk.
"So you were going to see me either way?"
Lethaea quickly answered. "Yup! Since I recognized you through his very detailed description. I had a few of my people pick you up. I hope they didn't cause trouble.."
"None at all.." Rimuru reassured her.
"Great! So I was hoping to do some business with you. I know your already working with Mjollmile-kun but I don't mind! We can work together as a team, all three of us."
Quick to turn to business talk, however Rimuru had more questions.
"Sorry but I have more questions."
Lethaea realized her attempt to rush the process and apologized. "Sorry. Go ahead and ask them."
Rimuru sat up straight, fixing his posture. "How did you know I had no gender?" That was one of his questions, it shouldn't have that easy. Especially if she just.. slapped his butt.
Lethaea smirked, "Easy. I felt no sexual desire within you, meaning you have complete resistance against my charm. Meaning you have no genitals."
Rimuru titled his head slightly to the right in confustion.
Lethaea brought both her hands together. "Part of my third unique skill. 'Love.' I can charm people and make them do whatever I want. What's even more cool is that I get more strength and energy every time I have-"
"Stop! Ok I understand.."
She was about to say something dangerous, Rimuru's glad he stopped her. To think such a lustful skill could exist… it made him shiver in fear for some reason.
"Oh yeah. To clear out any of those crazy thoughts of yours. I'm not a whore. I don't sleep with every man or women. Just the ones that interest me. So really.. I hardly use that skill at all."
Rimuru gulped, "I see.."
He wanted to change the subject so he did. "Why are you telling me this?"
"You asked.."
"I asked how you knew I had no gender. Not about what your skill was.. shouldn't you keep that a secret?"
Especially if she has 3 unique skills!
"Well if Mjollmile-kun vouches for you then I don't really care. Any other questions?"
Rimuru gave a light nod as he was about to switch to the topic he's been desiring to ask about.
"Are you a Lightbearer?"
Unlike before, Lethaea did not quickly respond.
Her brows furrowed as she stared at Rimuru intensely. "How you do that what that is?"
Rimuru gulped once again, he quickly came up with an answer in hopes she didn't straight up shoot him in the face.
"I have a friend! He's a Lightbearer to and he leads a bunch of other Lightbearer's as well."
Rimuru summoned a glass orb and placed it on the desk.
Lethaea looked into the orb and it glowed, showing the image of a young man.
"He's very friendly and has asked me to guide any Lightbearer's I find towards him. So if your hoping to meet other's then I can guide you."
"Ah.."
"Of course I just hope you have no hostile intentions."
"Ah…"
"But either way you wouldn't win against him.."
"Hah…"
Rimuru stopped talking.
Lethaea was quietly moaning.
He looked at her and saw a totally different expression.
"He's here… Oh I'm so happy.."
She was looking at the orb so intensely, her cheeks were red and her eyes.
Those beautiful brown eyes of hers were full of lust.
"Oh boy.." Rimuru forgot about Sivert's good looks.
He's personally witnessed how women look at him, but this is the first time he's seen something like this. How jealous he was of the Hunter..
"My cute adorable hunter.. I knew you weren't dead."
Those thoughts were brushed away, Rimuru noticed how she was talking like she knew him.
"Do you know Sivert?"
"Sivert?"
Lethaea quickly regained her composure, "He has a name now?"
"You know him?"
"Of course! I was his first friend and soon to be lover. We both ventured to the moon to destroy Crota with our fireteam. I was hoping after that we could get married and live happily together but then I appeared here in this world once Crota was about to cut me in half with his sword."
Rimuru was shocked, very shocked. To think Sivert had another women who loved him..
"He's building a harem without him knowing it!" He mentally shouted out of jealousy!
Not just that but to think an old friend of his was here!
"I thought Lyra was his first friend.." he mumbled a little too loud by accident.
"Huh?! That bitch! She would never be. After what she's done."
Lethaea's entire mood changed. She was pissed at the mention of that warlock.
Rimuru's curiosity was dangerous.. He wanted to know more.
"What do you mean?"
Lethaea grumbled a little and crossed her arms.
"The proud Lyra.. oh I remember her. The way she looked at Sivert like he was some idiot. She may have met him first but they never joined together to form a fireteam."
Lethaea uncrossed her arms. "I took Sivert in to my fireteam and he was so nice! So cute! But Lyra saw his kindness as a weakness. She saw him as an idiot for being nice! The amount of times I told Ikora to get her student in check before I killed her were over ten!"
Rimuru simply nodded as he continued to listen.
"I don't know what you know about Lyra but I known and saw her as nothing but a prideful little bitch! Acting high and mighty and talking nonsense about Sivert behind his back. Oh the joy I felt when I destroyed her with my golden gun during that rumble match years ago! I'd give anything to feel that again."
Rimuru again nodded, but this time he was a little scared. As Lethaea continued angrily shouted he secretly made a thought communication call with Sivert. Hoping she wouldn't notice.
Thankfully her anger prevented her from noticing.
{What is it? I'm kind of busy!}
{I found a Lightbearer! An old friend of yours I think. Does the name Lethaea come to mind?}
There was no response..
{Sivert?}
After a minute he finally responded.
{Sorry I just.. I didn't expect that. More old friends coming back from the dead.. I saw her and her ghost get absorbed and destroyed by the shockwave created by Crota's sword.}
Rimuru looked at Lethaea, she was still shouting.
{No.. I think she was brought to this world before she was killed. She never perished.}
That surprised the Hunter even more.
{Heh.. alright. Well I'm in the middle of something important.. I'll send someone over in my steed to guide her to the temple.}
What could be more important then this!? Rimuru mentally shouted, but he didn't dare say that.
{Alright..}
Rimuru turned his attention back to Lethaea once he received the location to meet that person.
"And then she had the audacity to call him a fool in front of my face. I punched her perfect teeth, breaking them. Then I stomped her head into the dirt, ruining that pretty little face of hers."
Rimuru sighed, this was going to take a while.
Or..
Maybe not.
Rimuru had an idea.
"Do you want to see him?"
He interrupted.
"Yes! Please! Where is he?"
She was quick to reply, her mood changed to an excited one.
"I don't know exactly where but he told me he'll send someone to guide you to where he is."
"Great!"
Lethaea couldn't contain her excitement.
Rimuru stared at her in silence, and she noticed this.
"What?"
"You remind me of his ghost. Aria."
Lethaea shrugged, "Well I can't argue that. Me and her got along well." The Hunter shook her head.
"Nevermind that. Let's go!"
She pushed all her plans for today away. Nothing was more important then seeing her adorable little Sivert!
The location was outside of Ingrassia, Rimuru and Lethaea waited next to the dirt road.
They just got here so it wouldn't be surprising it if took a while for whoever Sivert sent to show up.
"That sound? A sparrow! Oh it's been a long time." Lethaea turned her attention to the right side of the road.
Rimuru was amazed she could hear from that far. Her senses must be stronger than his.
Meaning she was stronger than him.
Saint Level perhaps…
Rimuru looked in the direction she was looking and spotted the sparrow she was talking about.
They look so cool and fun to ride. He was definitely going to ask Sivert if he could ride one once he's done teaching the children.
However nothing but worry consumed Rimuru once he spotted the one riding the black sparrow.
Her black armor..
He immediately recognized it.
"Uh oh.."
It was Lyra.
The Warlock stopped not to far from the two.
"Hey Rimuru! So who's this Lightbearer you fou-"
Lyra removed her helmet to make sure she was seeing things.
She dropped her helmet and locked eyes with Lethaea.
"Woah.. who's the beauty.." Lethaea immediately fell for Lyra's beauty and was coming up with plans on how to seduce her.
Then the Hunter shook her head and got rid of those thoughts. There's only one person to seduce!
Lyra cursed this situation! Why didn't Sivert tell her who the guardian was! Otherwise she would've sent Kaguya in her steed.
"Lethaea?"
Sadly.. a little light had a big mouth.
Lyra's ghost Nemo materialized and called the Hunter's name out of shock.
"Nemo..? Then your.."
Lethaea locked eyes with Lyra once again.
"Shit.."
Lyra knew she was screwed.
"You reincarnated…" Lethaea immediately figured that out.
"I did.."
Rimuru could feel Lyra's fear. He's never seen her like that.
Within an instant the warlock's body was incinerated by Solar Light.
Rimuru had no clue what just happened until he saw Lethaea aiming one of her hand cannons in that direction.
She drew her Handcannon that fast?!
"Stop! Don't kill her ghost!" Rimuru quickly jumped in to protect Nemo.
"Relax I'm not that cruel.. I just wanted to shoot her."
Lethaea holstered her hand cannon and Rimuru sighed in relief.
Nemo quickly revived Lyra. She was sitting on the ground, holding her head and trying to rid the headache she got.
"Still quick as ever.."
The Warlock knew she was dead. There was no countering Lethaea's draw speed.
The only ones who could match her back in the day were either Cayde or Sivert.
Lethaea walked over and kicked Lyra in the face.
"Hope you don't mind. I'm going to ruin that pretty little face of yours."
Lyra quickly jumped back, Solar Light engulfed her right hand and she summoned her Raze Lighter sword.
"I do.. I know your mad. I am to for acting like that. Let's just talk please?"
Lethaea chuckled, "First time I heard you speak like that. We can talk. Right after I kick your head into the dirt!"
She moved at incredible speeds, to fast for Rimuru to even see.
Lethaea was a full fledged Saint alright.
Suddenly a jet black butterfly sword with golden engravings on it appeared in her right hand and she brought it down upon Lyra.
The Warlock brought her Raze Lighter up to block it.
"!"
Her sword she adored so much was cut in half like butter. Even with her battle will covering it. Vince's proud work easily broken.
A Legend Grade Sword..
Lethaea swiped and slashed Lyra's right leg, forcing her onto her knees.
"Mythical Grade?"
The Warlock asked in disbelief.
"Mhm.."
"Stop!" Rimuru unsheathed his katana.
"No! You stay back damnit.." Lyra declared, stopping Rimuru in his tracks.
"I guess you did change."
Lethaea's sword disappeared and she crouched down.
"I was an idiot.. I'm sorry." The warlock apologized with all her heart.
Lethaea stared into her silver eyes.
"Apology accepted."
Lyra and Rimuru both showed surprised expressions.
"What?"
Lethaea sighed. "I know.. originally I was going to kick your face again but I can see within your eyes that your truly sorry."
A tear fell down from Lyra's right eye, "He's going to be happy to see you.." she said as Nemo healed her injury.
"I bet.. but look at you! You got so.. sexy."
Lyra forgot about one thing..
Lethaea was very.. forwarding in her advances on those she takes interest in. And very.. lustful.
A trait she hated before and still hates.
"No.."
"You want me to change my mind about accepting your apology?"
Lethaea pushed her down and leaned closer.
"Not here. At least?" Lyra begged.
Lethaea turned to look at Rimuru. "Hmph fine."
She was about to take her..
Rimuru couldn't believe this women! She was crazy!
He couldn't stick around any longer. No.. he didn't want to.
"Well you guys look like you have it all handled I have to get going..!" He quickly departed with his new Spatial Transportation he acquired recently.
Lethaea stood up and placed both her hands on her hips.
"You really didn't change at all.." Lyra whispered while standing up. She could feel Lethaea's eyes examining every part of her body.
"Hehe.. nope. Nice butt by the way."
She reached out to squeeze it but Lyra backed away.
"Stop it.."
Lyra was a blushing mess.
Lethaea pouted, "Fine. Just take me to see Sivert. I'll squeeze his instead."
"You sex crazed Hunter.."
That is what she was in Lyra's eyes and the eyes of other's.
"Like I told Rimuru. I'm only interested in those I like. Your new body is just too beautiful!" Lethaea defended herself from that accusation.
Lyra rolled her eyes. "Whatever.. just get on.."
The Warlock went to pick up her helmet and put it back on, she got on her sparrow and Lethaea got on behind her.
"Perfect position to squeeze these."
"Stop it damnit!"
She pushed her away and Lethaea chuckled. "Alright, Alright. It's your fault for getting a perfect figure. You didn't seduce Sivert with this body yet right? You better have not."
"No and I was never planning to.."
Lyra turned her attention to her broken Raze Lighter. The remaining pieces were slowly getting absorbed by Solar Light.
An effect that happens to weapons Lethaea's sword destroys. To ensure their not repaired.
Vince really was going to be sad..
Temple of Light
"Very well. I will trust you Sivert Light."
Nimerah held out her right hand and Sivert shook it.
"Thank you. I hope to build a good and strong bond with you."
"As do I."
It took a lot of time but after some convincing and telling her everything that happened to the City and the Traveler she accepted.
In turn Sivert also got to know more about Nimerah.
She was a warlock who perished several years ago, a Guardian sent with a thousand others to retake the moon.
She died at the hands of Crota and reincarnated in the Empire 90 years ago. The Warlock was raised and taught many things by a powerful Wizard called 'Gadra' one Sivert's never heard of before.
She was a full-fledged Saint, a powerhouse..
"Just keep.. Misora over there on a very tight leash ok?" Nimerah told the Hunter.
"I will.." Sivert chuckled, to think Aurora wouldn't be the only one to say that.
"So you are searching for more Guardians correct? I can help with that. However there is one thing I need in return."
Sivert gave a simple nod. "Sure. What is it?"
Nimerah looked around at the several Guardians watching the little meeting occur.
She looked back at Sivert.
"I would like to live here and I would like to take command over these Lightbearer's you lead."
Sivert did not expect that. Well the living here part he did.
"Of course in return I will not only help you find other Guardians. But I will serve you."
She was basically asking to replace Aurora!
"I'm sorry but I have someone already. Leading them for me." Sivert turned to look at Aurora who stood next to him.
She and Nimerah locked eyes.
"No.. You don't."
Aurora turned to look at Sivert.
"What?"
"I know I'm way out of my class against her. Make her commander. I can already see the Temple getting more in shape with her in lead."
Nimerah smiled, she was going to make Aurora her student after this. She has great potential.
"Well.. alright then. I accept Nimerah, that's if your comrades are alright with you serving under me."
Nimerah turned to look at her two accomplices.
A Dark Elf with long braided golden hair and yellow eyes. She wore all black along with a black cloak.
This was Nimerah's best friend, Galadriel. She was an Enlightened.
Standing next to Galadriel was a Titan in white and black armor though it looked a little worn out. This was Veylance.
Newborn Saint, he recently fought an Arch Demon belonging to the Yellow Lineage. This allowed him to push past his limits and evolve into a Saint, defeating the Arch Demon.
However that's not all that interested Sivert. His Light.. Veylance's connection to the Light was very strong. Stronger than most.
"I'm fine with it. As long as you treat her and us fair." Veylance gave his opinion while Galadriel gave a silent nod in agreement.
"I will. I'm glad to have you all by my side."
Right now.. the power of the Knight's of Light just grew tremendously.
"As for any Guardians out in the world. I'll tell you all I know for now."
Sivert gave another short nod. Any information is welcome.
"There are a few fireteams out there that I lead though we barely come in contact nowadays to not draw attention. I will call them over here shortly. They number in about four hundred and fifty in total."
The Hunter's eyes widened in amazement. "Really?!"
Nimerah chuckled a little from his reaction. "Yes. Most are strays while there are few reincarnates. Most of them are Enlightened's as well with unique skills."
That was great to here!
"I'm sure.. with some convincing they will bend the knee to you."
Sivert's smile vanished. "What? No I don't want them to kneel before me."
"You don't?"
The Hunter shook his head.
"I underestimated you. Very well. But I doubt they won't once they see your Light. So be prepared.."
Sivert pouted, he didn't want his fellow Guardians to treat him like a king. But there was no convincing them to stop. He's already tried with Aurora and the others..
"There's also this Hunter. She's a powerful and wealthy merchant with powerful allies. She was working in the east, building up her power before moving all her operations here a few years ago. Lethaea is her name I believe.." Nimerah explained.
"Oh? Well that's great! I had my friend Lyra go and pick her up right now."
Nimerah's brows furrowed. "What? How did you get her to visit? She's impossible to talk to unless you have something to bargain."
Sivert smiled a little from those words. That sounded like her..
"She's a close friend of mine."
"I see.. that will be very beneficial then. There's this very experienced blacksmith under her command. A human with five hundred years' worth of experience. From what I know, she perished before being resurrected by a Ghost and being found by Lethaea."
That was great to hear! Sivert couldn't wait to tell Vince!
"There's more under her command who are experienced in certain stations but I'm not sure what."
"That's fine. I will learn what once she get's here." Sivert assured her.
"Good. As for in the East. The hundreds of Guardians there have all been recruited by Lethaea, so there's likely none there. Aside from probably a fireteam or two, consumed by their greed to serve the Empire in exchange for riches and pleasure."
Nimerah shook her head. "However they are nothing to worry about. As of now, all Lightbearer's are in the west. From what I seen, aside from those under my command. There are ten thousand in total. All strays or reincarnates led by different figures. The largest being Lethaea."
That large number brought joy to Sivert, a tear spilled from his right eye. The Light really had plans for all of them..
Not just him..
"Were going to need to move then.. if were recruiting that many. This temple could only house up to five hundred Guardians." Aurora pointed out.
"There's this place I have in mind. In the Jura Forest but that's if all of the Guardians come to join us." Sivert quickly answered to that.
It was a perfect area where none would dare venture unless they were a Demon Lord, True Dragon or were foolish.
"Then I suggest we keep that in mind. Now. If you don't mind I'd like to explore this place and to see the current state of your Guardians. Aurora would you be so kind to accompany me?" Nimerah asked her fellow Warlock as she stood up from her chair.
"I'd be glad, Commander."
Nimerah had big plans and more under construction.
With the meeting concluding Sivert stood up from his chair.
"Oh yeah.. there's this one warlock. He's.. not from our universe. He was resurrected here. I talked with him for a few days a year ago, learning that he was a High Elf. He has thousands of years of knowledge and experience that I think will prove useful for you. He should be up near a mountain near the border of the Empire and the Jura Forest."
The mention of a 'High Elf' piqued Sivert's curiosity..
From what he's been told there was only two High Elves in the world.
However Guy also mentioned the one who created the High Elves, 'Twilight Valentine' created more than that and some spread across the world thousands of years ago.
So perhaps this one was a surviving High Elf. Or.. was a surviving High Elf until he was resurrected by a ghost.
To think the Light is capable of resurrecting a Wind Elemental incarnated into a physical body. Sivert could feel his own Elemental's get excited.
Nimerah is right. He will be extremely helpful…
"Alright.. I'll take a look soon."
Nimerah gave him another short nod before departing with her accomplices and Aurora.
"A lot of new things to do. Guess you'll have to put the plan to explore the Ascendant Plane on hold." Aria whispered to him.
Indeed he would have to..
"Misora."
The Demon Peer stepped forward and bowed. "Yes my Lord?"
"Go to my Throne World and assist Surtr with his work. I want to be alone for a while."
Misora stood up straight and gave a light nod.
"As you wish."
She vanished within an instant.
Within a few seconds after the Hunter teleported into his office and into his chair, he turned around and looked out the glass window and at the large forest.
He sat there for several minutes, pondering about all that just happened.
It happened very quickly.. Now there was even more to do as well.
"?!"
Suddenly Sivert felt his right ear be nibbled and he quickly turned around. Standing there was his old friend..
The surviving member of his first fireteam.
"Oh come on. You let me nibble on your ears before."
Sivert sighed and shook his head. "Times change."
Lethaea could only nod In agreement. "Whatever. I missed you so much!"
She pounced on Sivert and hugged him tightly. The Hunter returned the hug and he could hear the quiet snicker of Lyra who stood on the opposite side of the desk.
"I have lots to show and tell you." Lethaea said in excitement.
Sivert bet she did.
"Look."
Lethaea unwrapped herself from him and pulled down the collar of her white shirt. Revealing her left side of her shoulder.
"I recently got this once your friend Rimuru told me you were here."
Sivert saw something that.. bothered him. But he knows Lethaea would not remove it.
A tattoo that says, 'Property of Sivert.'
"Don't think to much about it. She's already slept with a few other men from what I've been told." Lyra informed him.
"Lyra! You snitch! Damnit!" Lethaea cursed the warlock.
"Is that so.."
Sivert wasn't even worried about that, what she does is her choice and he doesn't care..
But..
The tattoo is what he cares most about. It was embarrassing to look at.
"I swear I'm not used goods! I'm yours!" Lethaea grabbed his right hand and held tightly onto it. Looking up at him.
The Hunter swore he saw pink hearts in those dark pupils of hers.
Sivert wasn't even going to ask why. He knows Lethaea is sweet for him but..
Just like all the other women who were, he's unable to return the feelings.
He's never felt his heart race or have butterflies in his stomach like a protagonist in a romance novel/book does when they meet the women. It's either because he's unable to or he's never found the women.
"I see.." Lethaea whispered in surprise.
"What?"
Lethaea was looking at Sivert's chest. Examining him with her third unique skill 'Love.'
"Your like Rimuru.. you have no sexual desire. That's why your not reacting like I'd except you to."
That was the first time he's heard that said to him.
'Sexual Desire'.
Sivert..
Has no sexual desire.
"Huh.." The Hunter didn't know how to react to that.
"Don't worry! I can help with that.." Lethaea pressed against him.
"You can?"
"Your very curious aren't you? I know you are.."
He was.
The Hunter wanted to experience all sorts of new things. He's never experienced the pleasure of.. love making.
And Lethaea could see that.
"I'm getting out of here before this gets weird.." Lyra turned around and walked out of his office, closing the doors behind her.
Leaving the two hunters in the room.
"Lethaea! Stop trying to seduce my Guardian!" Aria came to the rescue, scolding the Hunter.
"Aria. Long time.. I have cool paintings and artwork I created of Sivert to show you. I think you'll like them."
Aria's anger vanished..
Lethaea knew how to manipulate the ghost, and that was by talking about Sivert.
"Nevermind. Do what you wish but I want to see these paintings after.."
Aria also left the room..
"You've really never been with a women?"
Lethaea found that hard to believe.
"Yeah.. Wait are you serious about this?" Sivert backed up but Lethaea got closer as she replied.
"Oh hell yeah.. Your so adorable and cute! I want to play with you!"
Why did Sivert feel like Rimuru went through this same interaction.
"I swear I'm not dirty as well. I'm clean!" she assured.
Lethaea was very forwarding indeed. To try and convince him even more she used her charm ability..
But by the looks of it, Sivert wasn't affected. So it would have to be his choice.
"I'm.. not sure. "
Sivert wasn't feeling anything..
Was he dead inside?
"I know.. so. Why don't we try tonight?"
It was just like a manga Sivert read! This was an invitation to do the deed!
"Don't expect much.." Sivert replied to her.
"Oh of course. It's your first time. Don't worry. I'll be your women tonight and whenever you want after."
?!
Sivert felt a strange feeling after he heard Lethaea say that. His heart starting beating a little quick.
He..
He was excited.
This was a totally new feeling. His stomach started to hurt a little. This was the feeling of a nervous male who's never been with a women.
"Until then though. Let's talk! I missed you."
Lethaea wasn't all about love making..
She didn't see Sivert as a way to unleash her pent up lust on. Unlike other men and women who she takes interest in.
He was a friend, one she would treasure forever. One she does not wish to lose.
"Alright."
And so the two conversed, Sivert learned a lot about Lethaea. How she rose and became a wealthy and powerful merchant.
She had three unique skills as well.
'Gunslinger', 'Gambler,' and 'Love.'
Each with very interesting abilities.
"Oh crap! I forgot.. I was trying to get into business with Rimuru. Damnit!" the Hunter pouted.
She always loved making extra money, it was a trait of hers.
"Really?"
"Yeah. He's the leader of Tempest right? The Monster Nation. I'm interested in his product. I was hoping to work together with him and Mjollmile-kun." She exclaimed.
"Huh.."
Guess she did change, Sivert never saw her for a business person.
"Well whatever. I can do that later. Anyways enough about me. What about you? Lyra's told me a lot but never finished."
Well..
There was a lot more to tell her and he did.
"Woah!? You got so strong? I guess I underestimated you."
Originally, had Sivert been weak and unable to get stronger. Lethaea was going to keep him by her side at all times.
But right now, he could kill her without breaking a sweat.
"Heh.." Sivert remembered all the times she called him an innocent Hunter and treated him like a child.
"Well I'm glad you're alright."
"Same goes for me. Seeing you so strong and in great shape is a good sight." Sivert replied with a gentle smile.
"Alright! With that out of the way. Show me this new wine you brewed. Rimuru told me all about it and I want a taste."
Sivert would gladly fulfill her request.
Several Hours Later
Sivert entered his room and sighed. He's glad Lethaea is back but she is one heavy drinker…
He's not that into alcohol but to his amazement..
"I want to help you sell this. I have this personal chef. A reincarnate from a different world, she comes from a popular line of brewers. I think she will be able to copy your recipe and together you two could makes lots of wine! Which means a lot of money!"
With Lethaea back, Sivert is capable of taking large business opportunities that could make him extremely wealthy.
Well.. his way.
Earlier Lethaea was talking crazy.
"Everything I own is yours!"
Lethaea didn't care anymore now that Sivert was here. Everything she's built, she's given straight to him.
Well she wanted to but Sivert declined all attempts. He plans on rising and creating his own business. With her help.
Many new opportunities arose and Sivert is so happy.
"Lyra?"
The Hunter saw the Warlock, sitting on his bed. She wore her white sleepwear robes, it's no wonder he didn't see her at the cafeteria where a small party was happening.
She was waiting here, for him.
"I.. want to apologize."
Sivert raised his right brow out of confusion. "For what?"
"When we first met.. I treated you like a friend and acted kindly but I was faking it. You were a fool in my eyes. I saw your kindness as a weakness to the tower. When you left to the moon to slay Crota I was glad.. I wanted you to die."
Those words were sudden and shocked the Hunter. The smiles she gave him when they first met..
They were all fake. It was hard to believe but Lyra was no liar.
"When you came back.. alone and with the dead ghosts of your fireteam members except Lethaea's. I was amazed, but after seeing you still be able to keep your sanity. To be able to treat others with kindness despite all that you lost. I regretted everything I said about you."
She looked up at him, tears falling from her eyes.
"With Ikora's assistance only then was I able to get close to you. To get to know more about you. I'm sorry Sivert.. I shouldn't have kept this from you."
Sivert was silent, "Is that it?"
Lyra showed a hint of confusion. "What?"
"If that's it then there's nothing to apologize about. You've stuck by my side after I lost Lethaea and the others. I wouldn't have been able to stay strong without you. So don't cry, don't apologize. Because without you, I wouldn't have been able to get this far in my life."
Her eyes widened and Lyra could only cry more, she stood up and ran to Sivert. Hugging him tightly.
"You idiot.. messing with my heart." She whispered in his chest.
Sivert simply smiled and returned the hug.
"Sivert.. I. I want to ask you something."
This was a desire, one Lethaea helped Lyra awake..
"What is it?"
He looked down into her beautiful silver eyes.
"I-"
The doors to Sivert's room slammed open.
"Sorry I'm late Sivert."
Lethaea closed the door and locked them.
She started undressing but stopped.
"Oh? Lyra. You finally told him?" Lethaea knew right away, just from her tears.
"I have.."
Lethaea smiled, "Good. This makes things easier."
"What?" Lyra was confused from those words, as well as Sivert.
"You were about to tell him that little secret weren't you? Well I'm not going to let you have him."
"I don't know what your talking about." Lyra quickly replied and slowly backed away from Sivert.
"Oh shut up. Here this will motivate you."
Lethaea grabbed both of Sivert's hands, interlacing their fingers together. She looked into his golden eyes.
"Sivert…"
The Hunter looked into her beautiful brown eyes.
"Make me your women. You don't have to love me. But I want to be yours. My heart desires it.. please?"
"Eh?"
Sivert felt strange and could not reply from those words. He was a blushing mess. Rimuru's training couldn't help him.
"What the hell are you saying?!" Lyra shouted at the Hunter.
"You said you wanted to help right? This will help him feel. Not only activate his sexual desire but the ability to love."
Lyra looked at Sivert, his expression showed clearly on what he was feeling. Something new..
"I can't.. I'm.. to young."
Lethaea's brows furrowed. "How old are you? Because you look twenty."
"I should be Seventeen if I remember correctly.. It took me a while to figure out the time and months of this world."
Lethaea chuckled. "So? There's girls at the age of fourteen being married to men who are twenty in all sorts of kingdoms. Your old enough."
Hearing that helped push Lyra, she walked back towards her friend.
"What.."
Sivert couldn't speak!
His heart was racing.
"Make me your women to then! You don't have to love or marry me! But I want to be yours!" Lyra shouted at the top of her lungs.
Had Lethaea not put a soundproof barrier around the room, people outside would've heard it for sure.
"What the hell…" Sivert felt so strange! His body felt hot..
With Lyra's help, Lethaea pushed the Hunter onto the king size bed.
"Lay down and enjoy this gift from both of us.."
Sivert could only watch in silence as the two undressed..
Having both women as his first time.. Sivert did indeed enjoy this.. he enjoyed every moment.
And he wouldn't wait to tell Rimuru of his achievement!
He was no longer a virgin!
Kingdom of Ingrassia
Rimuru stopped writing on the piece of paper.. he looked up at the ceiling.
"Why do I feel like I've been betrayed?" He quietly asked himself.
No.. he wasn't. Just a random thought.
He and his close friends were still virgins together.
Elsewhere in the Temple.
Aurora walked down the hallway and towards her room. She suddenly stopped and looked at Sivert's room.
She could sense the soundproof barrier right there.
"No way.." she whispered..
It was silence and dark but.. she knew.
"Oh you poor Hunter." The Warlock whispered. The kind and friendly Sivert.. with the teasing and Lustful Lethaea along with the teasing Lyra.
"Those two are going to devour him."
And he was going to become even more different now..
Aurora quickly walked into her room and shut the door, locking it and enacting a soundproof barrier of her own.
Even though she couldn't hear them.
It would help her sleep better with her own barrier.
End!
Well Sivert's finally a man.. With that out of the way, I will feel better changing him more. Ridding a little bit of his kindness and finally creating the 'Dark Disciple' that serves our soon to be Demon Lord.
Hehehe.
Hehehehehe!
HAHAHAHAAHA!
I'm weird..
See you guys next chapter.
