Chapter 139 9: Return To Verina City

The crashing of thunder lasted for almost an hour, with only the symphony of raindrops pouring onto the soft ground to accompany the pair; Raizel's delicate hands softly stroked Vincent's back as she pecked at his lips with soft, gentle pecks her lips causing loud smacking sounds as she began to breathe through her nose to avoid suffocation.

"Mmnph~"

Vincent's muscular arms grasped her tightly like she was a mirage or phantom that could vanish at any moment; he lifted her into his chest as she stood on her tiptoes, her little tongue dancing inside his mouth like a nervous amateur as his gently embraced and coiled around hers sucking gently as the rain quietly, slowly died down.

'Hehe, to think I would go from demon goddess to experiencing life like a normal girl, so stupid.'

Her face scrunched up as she pulled away and gave him a wonderful smile, brighter than the sun as if her smile called it forth; the clouds began to part as the sunlight cascaded onto the pair.

'But I'm happy, Master!'

He looked down at his cute spear and partner stroking her head with a slightly rough rub wrapping his arm around her shoulder and pulling her along with him, causing her to almost stumbled before she grasped his fur robe that covered his muscular body filled with countless scars that made him look sexy.

'Hehe, Master is the best in the world!'

"Let's go home, Raizel; I want to formally introduce you to everyone as my partner."

Her eyes sparkled as they began to walk towards the north, the bustling city becoming lively as the rain faded into the heavens as the sun brought its loving warmth and uplifting light.

"Mmmn!"

With a skip in her step, she walked along with Vincent; nothing could remove the bright smile on her face, two small fanged teeth visible as she hummed a lively tune beside him.

[I pray the two of you can be happy together]

[Raizel is no longer connected to this system in any way!]

'Thanks for that, Meiya, doing things I wanted without me asking; your future rewards keep increasing each day. Why has there been a lack of choices recently?'

[To be honest, the system was only created to help you get started, and now you are taking a different path. The calculations of the system seem to be filled with errors and mistakes. I spend most of my days trying to fix them, but I cannot give an accurate time when I can fix them... Sorry!]

'Don't worry; you always do your best and never ask for much in return if it doesn't work. How about you throw it aside and come to me? I want to meet you...'

[Ah!]

Suddenly the communication was filled with the sound of a soft female voice muttering as she sometimes squealed and yelped in delight and freaking out; she seemed delighted but muttered things like "If I leave, what if he needs the systems help?" or "I want him to kiss me too!"

Vincent gave a wry smile as he quickly passed through the gates of Verina, listening to this cute girl's little one-man show. He paid a few coppers to enter the gate as the two guards looked at the tall man with his exposed muscular chest in marvel.

'This girl needs to be given a lot of my affection; without her, where would I be, my former weak ass, wimpy self, too reliant on the system and my wonderful women's help. Let's aim to become a man that supports and guides them forward instead.'

Raizels eyes seemed to have changed colour, now glowing a bright gold watching her beloved Master's face in deep thought, 'Master is so cool! Look at his handsome face, fufu thinking so much about us all...'

Vincent currently wore a part of tight cotton pants that clung to his muscular thighs and displayed his masculine advantages for all to see; over his shoulders was the thick fur robe, now more like a long jacket or cloak that covered his arms, neck and back. His perfected and tight bronzed muscles filled with scars on display for all, causing men to envy and women to swallow their growing lust.

[I wish nothing more to be beside you in those firm, powerful arms. This Meiya shall remain here until you no longer need my assistance! My happiness and joy can wait as long as I can keep you safe and alive!]

'...'

His feet stepped for a moment, a light blush on his cheeks. 'Mmmm, then I will await the day I can hold you in these arms, Meiya,' he opened his free left arm as the girl chuckled in his mind. This girl was strange but said the most adorable things that caused his heart to race.

Once again filled with his determination, he planned to go home and greet the women he treated badly while running away, especially Zera, as it was likely she and Efrita who got the blame for him fleeing like that. 'Ah, my cute little silver tabby, don't worry. I will take you out to play tonight!'

Raizel and Vincent headed deep into the city; as the sun began to shine, so did the city become alive again. Her little hand grasped his as they walked together like a beautiful couple, a beautiful girl and a charming man.

The city of Verina was bustling around them, people going about their business as if nothing had changed. But to Vincent, everything felt different. He had seen things in the depths of Balmark Cathedral that he couldn't even begin to comprehend, and he could feel the darkness inside him still calling out to him, tempting him to give in.

But now it was different; rather than trying to rule him and being the voice of Astaroth, now the voice was his own, just huskier and distorted, ever since those black dragon scales began to form, ones identical to Astaroth's tail and breastplate.

Vincent no longer felt confused by that girl's actions; now, her charm was less effective on him. However, he seemed even more charming to her when she appeared in his dreams and through the dummy, no longer trying to beat him or act dominant, sometimes acting submissive and begging him to defeat and surpass her.

"I can win; it's not certain right now, but just a little more and I can win!"
