Chapter 851 Chapter 850: Upgrades People, Upgrades (2)
?I watched as the Jackalkin approached me with an unusual gait, her back completely straight whilst her steps were evenly paced and rhythmic as she walked forwards, almost like she was marching.
Raising a brow at her antics, I held back a snort as she stopped in front of me and bowed at the waist, going almost an entire 90 degrees as she held up the bundle in her hands like an offering, the long, cloth bundle held out to me and waiting to be unveiled. N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.
"I managed to complete it in time, my 'Goddess'~! Please, accept this lowly one's humble offering!"
Anput's voice was just as dramatic as her position was, something that made me all my eyes and shake my head as I looked down at her, though...
I had to admit that being able to trace out the muscles of her back from above and enjoying the defined curves of her body as she took on a submissive posture was... quite the sight for me, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't like the look of it.
And corsdering the way her tail swished side to side idly, she was having some fun with this too... probably because she was being a bad 'worshipper' as she stole glances at my hips and thighs, which just~ so happened to be level with where her head was.
"Yes, I did. It's both Water and Wind attuned, though not Ice attuned..."
She chuckled, shaking her head as she said "Well, I can't merge the two together just yet to create a compound element like Ice... not yet, anyways. But! This is already pretty good, isn't it? It has both the elements you need and use, and if you have a high enough control - which you do - this should be a nice bump to your Ice Magic, though only if its cast via this Khopesh as the medium. Isn't that awesome?!"
My laughter made her grin widen, and I reached forwards and ruffled her ears, staring at her warmly as I nodded and said "It's a wonderful gift, Anput. And..."
Spinning the blade in my hand, I grinned as I saw the large blue gemstone nuzzled into the bottom of the hilt, which made Anput smile wryly as we both stared at it, the Jackalkin whispering "I might have... snuck one of the gemstones already, yes... Sadly we don't have any Wind gemstones on hand, but this'll be another boost..."
I snorted at that, making her smile widen as I said "It's more than just a boost, Anput. This takes this from a really high quality melee weapon to something that I can actually turn into a pseudo staff via enchantments! The amount of mana inside this stone is enough to power a high quality spell on its own, and I already have a few ideas thanks to the dual element alloy you forged it with~!"
Her obsidian eyes shown with pride, before she looked at me from the side and licked her lips, her nose twitching as I took a step closer to her, letting her catch a whiff of the pheromones she had become addicted to.
"And of course, such a perfect, incredible upgrade to my current weapon, something made just~ for me by such an incredible, accomplished smith like yourself... obviously, you need to be rewarded for your work..."
Stepping in front of her, I reached forwards with my free hand and grabbed ahold of her butt, grinning at her as I saw her eyes widened in surprise, before she grinned back at me as I rested my brow against hers, whispering "And I think I know just~ the thing to reward a capable, talented woman like yourself... and maybe, just maybe, if you worship me like before, perhaps we can speak on further rewards..?"
