"Welcome visitors from afar to our beautiful Elven forest."

They arrived at Paltoma, most feeling a sense of relief. Several Arachne left their group and climbed around the trees in delight. He enjoyed the stiff faces of the Elven lord who watched Marina and her girls make web bridges to move around the city of Paltoma.

'He's so fucking mad, haha!' (Pride)

'I would be too…' (Lust)

'They look thrilled. Are all Arachne like Alice deep down?' (Envy)

Tianra, the Elven lord, gave them a pleasant smile as she greeted Lucifer and his group. She handed a letter to Esther, who remained well behaved since they arrived. Lucifer found this amusing and continued to watch her.

'She acted so naughty in the carriage. Now she is all serious. How funny!'

Tianra was a pretty elf with tight muscles and seemed to be a warrior. Her hair was like most elves and light blonde with light blue crystal clear eyes. She laughed often when speaking to Lucifer and played with her hair.

'Is she going to flirt with a boy less than a tenth her age?' (Esther)

Esther's tail rattled in irritation. Lucifer was her toy for this trip. Her tail shot forward and wrapped around his waist, pulling him away. She only wanted to stop their pleasant chat with jealousy. Esther didn't give a damn about consequences.

[This lamia is so thirsty… Shall I cook some snake soup?]

'Leave her be. She's kind of too cute to be an old woman!' (Pride)

'….' (Lust)

Lucifer allowed her to drag him all the way to their rooms. After which she flung him inside hers and slammed the door. Her eyes glowed with an eerie golden light.

"Lucifer, you know the reason we came here, right? It's not for some damned fruit wine. There is a war brewing and soon it will engulf the entire continent."

'Oh? So she won't violate me?'

He didn't want to stand up and fell down into the prepared bed. It was comfortable as he sank into the soft, feathered mattress. The charming Lamia frowned at his actions.

"So? Just because we are going to fight soon, can't I have a little fun?"

"You call having an orgy each night with centaur and Arachne a little fun!?"

She patted the floor with a loud rattle and thud from her black tail. Her body swayed sensuality as she got angry at him. His eyes fixated on her breasts and belly. The purple flesh was extremely exotic and charming.

"Oh, that…? What's wrong? Did you want to join too?"

Lucifer stopped sucking up. Why must he pretend to be an excellent student when he couldn't care less in reality? Her mouth opened wide in what seemed like a shock to his response. A slight dark purple blush appeared on her cheeks, but Esther was not an easy young maiden.

'Lucifer… Why does it feel you are goading her to assault you?' (Lust)

'You should know him by now… Look at his grin and how he's letting her see his member so clearly.' (Envy)

'Why is our master such a manslut!' (Lust)

[Master, we need time to complete the ritual so avoid the snake orgy.]

',

'What a shame…' (Pride)

Esther recovered from her shame and pointed both her finger and the tip of her tail towards him. She recalled how he would touch her body in various places during their close combat training. He also pressed that heavy club like a weapon against her hips.

'Hmph! I know you're a damn game, little shit!'

"Hah! Who wants to fuck a little kid who only knows to slam his hips! We have to leave for Skaavindel in one day. Before the battle begins, make sure that our Centaur and Arachne don't cause any trouble."

She turned her body and slither away, her black tail still rattled and slapped onto the ground as she crossed her arms and left the room. Her body shuddered when his words reached her ears, only able to look back and glare at him in response.

"You've got a wonderful ass, Esther!"

[Was it really necessary?]

'Is it really necessary to provoke her that much?' (Envy)

Lucifer gave a wry smile. In fact, he just wanted to make her stay away while the ritual passed by. He already told the Arachne and his Centaur to not bother him. That's why he spent the entire trip with those so called 'Orgies.' Elda would visit him tonight as they spent the nights under the moon together most days practising martial arts together.

'She's really improved lots since that day several months ago. I wonder what her mother is like…' (Pride)

[Are we going to start? Remember, I don't know what will happen once this goes through. You might become weaker than now. Maybe even limited to this realm longer if you cannot find your own method of enhancement.]

'Lanza, don't make me repeat myself. Benefits from the system will vanish.'

'But I will gain freedom from their control and may regain some of my old powers instead!'

[I know… I just worry about you. Lenora, the Devil of Lunacy, wrote the thesis. Her words have yet to be proven.]

'Well, let's prove them and show her! Haha I heard she is quite the stunner!' (Pride)

'Your dick is going to rot and fall off one day!' (Lust)

'I know you want it yourself. Haha!' (Pride)

'…'

'…'

The room was quite fitting for an elven building. They made the walls with entwined wood, no; it was the tree itself. Somehow, the elves made its branches grow into this shape. He walked over and slid his fingers across the soft brown wood that shone with a silky lustre.

'Oh? I can feel the mana seeping through. It's almost like a heartbeat.'

Lucifer placed his ear against the wall as a soothing sound, like he returned to his mother's womb. His room filled with a gentle green glow that floated around like the wind. Countless beautiful flowers bloomed along the walls and roof. He seemed to have injected large amounts of Anima into the tree through his body's touch.

Lillys, daisies and various flowers bloomed on his walls in vast colours, many not the same as their natural ones. A thick, tasty honey dripped from the roof into a small wooden cup. The tree itself created this cup from its own bark. It was like the forest was offering him a personal greeting.

'Hey Lanza…'

[Hmmm?]

'Is this forest a living forest?'

[I think it is you seem to have made it attached to you… Please don't copulate with some dryad girls…]

'Did you just set up an NTR flag for yourself again?' (Pride)

'',

[Shut up! Let's do the damn ritual, goddamn it.]

'Ah, Lanza cursed! I'm telling on you!' (Pride)

[Why are you so stupid? You are not a child!]

'First, use all my points from the travel to help my girls again… Will I still have this function afterwards? Or will things change?' (Pride)

[I don't know… I only know that it will create a power unique to you. It could be amazing or you might just became a walking penis.]

'Haha!' (Pride)

'I trust your choice you won't steal my cool ring, right?'
