Chapter 171: Chapter 240 – No Laughing Matter

Asterios and the girls stared at the figure of the floating woman with slight awe. Her voice was light and pleasant, traveling through the air almost effortlessly, with a little reverb, like a tiny echo. They were sure she’d spoken to them the same way that Esil usually did, using spiritual energy to convey the meaning of her words or message. Although her lips and face had moved accordingly, they didn’t feel like she spoke the same way they did.

Grea basically quivered from excitement in Ast’s lap before jumping to her feet with a wide grin. She bounced around the lightly glowing figure of the pinkish lady, looking her up and down. The extraordinary woman followed her movements with her head, continuing to show a soft smile.

Finally, just as Asterios helped Tina up too, Grea stopped making circles around the summoned entity and put her fists on her hips. “Hello there, sexy. Name’s Grea. You?”

He could only shake his head while Tina chuckled quietly. Their demon friend had a very unique way of greeting everyone, even the unknown and potentially powerful entities from worlds afar.

“It’s nice meeting you, Grea. I’m Aura.” The woman made a friendly nod.

“What a pretty name. I think it suits you well,” Tina commented and blushed faintly when Aura smiled at her kindly.

“Thank you. I appreciate the compliment. Our kind is very proud of our names. I’m sure someone as sweet as you has a beautiful name too.”

The rosy flush on Tina’s cheeks deepened even more as she answered with a smile of her own, slightly on the more timid side. “I’m Tina… And this is Asterios…”

“If it isn’t rude of me to ask, would it be alright to learn what kind you hail from?” Asterios grazed Tina’s side to help her relax a little.

“I’m curious about that too.” Grea bounced on the soles of her feet. “You are all glowing and shit, girl. Are you like ethereal? Spiritual? I can feel you emitting some kind of energy for sure.”

A lovely chuckle echoed through the room. “It’s only natural that I should introduce myself after answering your beguiling call. As you might remember from your meeting with my brother, we are called Rulers back in our home dimension. Arc, because that is his name, is a Ruler of Lightning, while I’m a Ruler of Matter.”

“This might come a bit late but I apologize for Grea’s earlier behavior. She’s quite… eccentric.” Asterios smiled wryly.

Aura waved her hand at him. “Don’t worry. I had a good laugh seeing him fly back through the portal and explain that his Summoner kicked him out before he even got to finish his introduction. He doesn’t harbor any negative feelings toward any of you. I always told him that his obvious narcissism gets in the way of everything.”

“Well, he did seem like a prick.” Grea snorted and Asterios sighed in response. “Thanks for coming by. Is assuming that he controls lightning and you control matter or something like that offensive? Not sure how that entire Ruler thing translates into other worlds.”

“You are correct. We are Rulers because we rule over the things we are born from. My brother’s body is made of pure lightning energy and he can manipulate it at will. My body is made of pure matter energy and I can freely manipulate that aspect,” Aura explained.

“What is the scope of that control’s extent?” Asterios wondered out loud.

“If you are wondering if I can transform any matter at will, then I, unfortunately, have to disappoint you. We can mostly influence our own being or things that originate from it.” Aura spread her arms to the sides. “In simple words, I can change the state of my body into solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. I’m currently in the last one. I do have some control over the other particles in those states but it isn’t enough to convert them.”

To illustrate her words, the pink, floating lady brought her arms closer to her chest and her figure gradually faded to a certain extent. Asterios and the girls quickly realized that she’d turned into her gas state as the see-through smoke still hung in the air with a clear resemblance to Aura’s previous shape.

Grea flinched when Aura suddenly flew into her with a pleasant chuckle. The ephemeral woman floated around the room and swirled by their limbs and bodies. It looked like she could disperse herself in her current state without any trouble. As she recollected her misty figure while hugging Asterios from behind, he could feel the gentle contact of her rosy haze on his skin.

A moment later, all that fog grew denser and more vibrant, and Aura’s feet softly plopped on the ground as she turned solid. Her clearly material fingers ran over Ast’s chest and then back as she stepped away. Extending a hand to Tina, she let the curious blue-haired girl touch her palm. 

Grea observed them with visible glee. “That’s so dope. Can you fight in any of those states, though? We are kinda looking for someone who could protect me at this moment. There are going to be plenty of ugly monsters where we are heading.”

Suddenly, a curved blade extended from Aura’s forearm and Tina jumped in shock. The pink lady chuckled quietly and showed an apologetic smile. After Tina let go of her palm, Aura moved a little bit away from everyone and transformed various parts of her body into a multitude of things. She could freely change the shape of anything into anything, decreasing or increasing the size.

Asterios summoned his artifact sword from his spatial ring and unhurriedly unsheathed the blade. Aura figured out his intentions and nodded kindly. After he put his guard up, her legs became slightly fuzzy just like when she’d first stepped into their realm while her arms became sharp, curved shortswords.

She struck Ast’s weapon with her right hand and suddenly flipped herself upside down, bringing her left from an unexpected angle. Asterios barely managed to move his blade to accommodate for the fast change but he repelled the attack. Just as he launched a counter, his swing passed through Aura’s body with no resistance and she flowed through him in her gas state.

Hearing her lovely giggle, he spun around and frowned, not finding his opponent anywhere in front of him. A wet splash reached his ears as he switched the position of his feet and he glanced down, finding a pink puddle under them. Almost instantly, multiple elastic tendrils shot out of it and wrapped themselves around his calves. Coupled with the slick surface, their sudden strong pull caused him to slip and crash onto his back with a groan. 

The rosy tendrils wrapped themselves all around him and tightened up. He felt something sharp cut into his skin and noticed that their inner sides became as sharp as the blades Aura had shaped before. A little bit of pinkish mist floated up just to stop in front of his face and formed Aura’s smiling expression.

“Partial transformation is also something I can do. I have a few useful tricks in my arsenal.” She glanced at him and then at the girls, who seemed focused on a slightly different aspect of Asterios being tied up, judging by the crimson shades covering their cheeks. “Will you surrender?”

He chuckled lightly. “I would rather not wreck this place which had been kindly lent to us so yeah, I will.”

“Is that a challenge, human?” Aura smirked at him.

“Correction. Dragon.” Grea waved a finger at her.

“Dragon?”

“True Dragon, to be exact.” Tina smiled proudly.

Their new friend showed a great deal of surprise before removing herself from Asterios and returning to her fuzzy, floating state. “Now, that’s unexpected. Looks like I wasn’t mistaken when I felt something special in this familiar request. I’m not sure if I would be able to take on a True Dragon, honestly.”

Asterios stood up with Tina’s help. “Well, I’m supposedly only like half of myself so you might have a good chance. But, that’s enough about me. It’s Grea who would like to form a contract with you. Would you?”

Meeting Ast’s gaze, she shot him a wide grin. “Of course! Just look at that sexy lass! And she can kick serious ass! She has a nice one herself too! Oh!”

Grea’s eyes widened slightly as she gently smacked Aura’s booty. She quickly placed her palm on it again and her smile grew even more excited. Taking Aura’s palm into her hand, she guided it over her own body, especially focusing on her nipples, and trailed with the plasma lady’s fingers down her belly. When they reached her girly parts, Grea let out a quiet whine while nibbling on her bottom lip as her eyes rolled to the back of her head.

Her face snapped to Asterios with an impish grin and she trotted closer to him with Aura in tow. Before he could understand what she was aiming for, Grea brought Aura’s other hand to his nether regions and he let out a surprised gasp.

“Cool, isn’t it?” She giggled excitedly. “I want her!”

“Is this the only quality you are looking for in a summon?” He tried to tame down the corners of his lips rising up from the ticklish stimulation coming from the touch of Aura’s prickly energy.

“Hey, since you can manipulate the states of your body and transform them at will, can you give yourself a pussy?” Grea ignored him and turned to the pink lady.

Right in front of their eyes, Aura’s privates become much more developed, ceasing to be just a slim, flat surface. Grea clapped joyfully with a cheerful bounce as she jumped in place.

She shot him another devilish grin. “Aren’t you curious how it would feel to stick it in there?”

“Calm your lust down.” He flicked her forehead, evoking an adorable chuckle from Tina. “You are forgetting why we did this in the first place.”

“So I could get all my holes blasted by you?” Grea batted her brows at him, making Asterios snort to the side.

“Give up, Ast. It’s impossible to ask Professor not to be horny.” Tina snickered from the side.

“Quite funny coming from someone who was just recently flicking her bean in front of the door while listening to my pussy getting completely shredded.” Grea squinted at her, causing Tina to quickly grow all red and drop her gaze down to her feet.

“Alright, enough making a scene for now.” Asterios pulled both Grea and Tina into his chest, brushing over their sides. “Let’s get back to the summoning. And perhaps jump into some clothes before Grea decides to accidentally impale herself on me.”

The raunchy demon lady opened her mouth and raised her brows as if she had just gotten a perfect idea. Judging by the quick glance she gave to their new friend, it clearly involved some state of Aura’s body and Asterios shook his head with a wry smile.

He materialized his spiritual clothes, interrupting Grea’s lewd train of thought. Pouting a little, she stepped away to obediently cover herself too. In the meanwhile, Asterios turned to Tina and she gave him a timid glance.

Slowly pulling her panties off, she blushed heavily. Since her white underwear had ended up completely drenched, it was a bit more comfortable to store it away for now. Still, standing right next to Asterios with both of them aware that there was nothing under her skirt made it so much more embarrassing.

Soon, Grea came back while wearing her black, lacy lingerie barely covering her alluring body. She sent Asterios a smirk, knowing exactly how she looked while still technically fulfilling his request to dress up. He just shook his head at her and they gathered in front of Aura.

“Are you even still interested in this deal after all that?” he asked the pink lady.

“I’m now even more convinced that you are an extremely fun and interesting bunch so definitely.” Aura showed a beautiful smile while floating before them. “I don’t mind lending you my strength if I get to drop by now and then. By the way, what’s the relationship between you two?”

“I’m the proud mate of this handsome Dragon.” Grea pointed at Asterios. “Though, I prefer the title of his personal fucktoy.”

“As she says.” Asterios nodded. “You should be able to receive some benefits from contracting a person closely connected to me if nothing has changed recently. She’s technically both my mate and a summon, to some extent.”

“Great. That’s what I was wondering about. I can’t wait to see what I can do with access to draconic mana, even if indirect.” Aura chuckled softly. “Shall we proceed then or do you have some more questions for me?”

“I’m in!” Grea extended a hand and they exchanged a handshake. “Is there anything you would like to receive as part of the contract?”

“Regularly share with me some of the draconic energy you receive besides your own essence and we’ll be good. I don’t think I need anything else. It should definitely help me grow stronger,” Aura answered.

They both accepted those terms and Asterios moved outside of the circle with Tina. Grea and Aura went through all the steps of the contracting ritual without rushing it. Asterios could feel the slight anxiety plaguing Grea even if she tried to hide it with her usual, cheerful, silly personality. She was surely still worried about the process failing at some point. But, fortunately, nothing of the sort happened and she gained a new familiar.

After examining her connection with Aura, Grea turned to the duo. “Well. Now comes the fun part.”

“Which is?” Tina frowned.

“Cleaning up all this cum, of course!” Grea spread her arms wide

Asterios smirked as his timid girlfriend became red again. They started working together on wiping off the patterns and other additional fluids that had joined them on the floor during the ritual. Aura’s ability to control smaller amounts of matter besides her body helped them accurately scoop every single bit of liquid from the carved trenches. She could move and gather it almost effortlessly. 

Done with that part, they tidied the room a little bit and pondered together about what to do with the carved circuit on the metal floor. Asterios came up with the idea to heat it up with his fire and Aura offered her help in moving the melted material. He carefully heated up the floor by releasing a controlled flame as the girls cheered him on and she quickly covered the patterns, leaving almost no trace of them left.

Since Asterios and Grea still had the other paint on their bodies, they headed for the bath to clean themselves up. Tina joined them and they washed each other while chatting happily. Though, most of the time, they had to deal with Grea teasing Tina about the recent events, at least until Tina and Asterios paired up and tickled her into oblivion.

Feeling refreshed, they dressed up properly this time and left the house to catch up with everyone. Locating Bryn and the others, Asterios brought out his wings and took Tina into his arms. As for Grea, she began floating after Aura turned into mist and tightly enveloped her body. The entire time they traveled through the air, Grea waved her arms while laughing maniacally.

After regrouping with their friends, they introduced Aura to everyone and continued the tour of Odin together. Miria and Silvia filled them in on what they had missed as they traversed the colorful streets, admiring the shiny buildings of various architectural styles. Just from their density and size, Odin seemed like a much bigger ARK than the others. Having a giant crystal tower in the middle certainly supported that belief.

Curious about how Skaginleif and her valkyrjas were doing, they went to visit the dark district. As expected, the women were in slight disarray. It would take a longer moment for them to get used to life on the surface after being stuck in a cave for so many years. Even under the black sheet above the district, they all kept their blindfolds on their foreheads to drop them down whenever necessary.

But, as Asterios and the girls spoke with a few of them, they all felt hopeful and excited about the future. The smallest things seemed to make them overjoyed, like extending their hands past the edge of the shade and bathing their skin in the warm sun for a few seconds. 

Their former leader had to remind them not to do that for too long or they would hurt themselves. There were many other things at which the poor women had to control themselves or they risked ending up in some kind of pain later or even immediately. But, that was the cost of their freedom and everyone knew it. 

The valkyrjas of Odin turned out to be very friendly and caring, helping their imprisoned kin fit in properly, going around the district and looking for ways to help. Countless groups formed where the surface dwellers kept telling stories to their new neighbors about their kin since obviously, the knowledge regarding their own race was greatly limited in the underground colony.

Before it got late, Asterios and the girls returned to their home and sat down together to discuss their upcoming campaign. They exchanged their thoughts on the Scourge, which they had recently faced for the first time. Everyone agreed that those poor monsters weren’t that strong individually and each of them could easily handle a small group on their own without any danger.

Bigger numbers were the problem. Especially when paired with narrow hallways that had many intersections. In the caverns, they had to protect their front and back for most of the time, but inside the Descending Spire, they would surely be met with countless corridors. Bryn assured them about that.

When the conversation moved onto the structure itself, Asterios brought out the maps the girls had prepared in their free time with Umbra’s help and they studied the sketched floors with extreme attention to detail, starting to plan a few paths already. Unfortunately, they didn’t have any hints about the location of the last, hidden level, where the reactor of Tyr’s Aegis was located. Red’s notes only talked about the device directly so unless Atra found some new information about it, they were forced to look around on their own after reaching the bottommost floor.

After a few hours, they wrapped it up and headed for bed. They were all at least slightly tired after the events of the last day, and the entire past two weeks. It was bliss being able to finally huddle up all together in a big, comfy bed. Even Bryn said nothing before joining everyone by Ast’s side, peacefully dozing off while resting her head and arm on Ast’s chest. Naked, just like everyone else, of course.

In the morning, they found a messenger in front of their door and learned that the Council would like to see them whenever they had a moment to spare. Getting themselves ready in a flash, they left their beautiful mansion and grabbed a snack on the way to the Tower.

Enjoying the quick ride on the floating disc, they reached the crystal doors and were let in by one of the valkyrjas on the other side after knocking lightly. It looked like everyone they had seen during their first visit was present and Sidr smiled at them warmly.

“In the light of what you have done for us, and what we had learned from the other ARKs in the meanwhile, the Council of Supervisors has agreed to give you its full support in pursuing your goal of reclaiming the Descending Spire from the claws of the Scourge,” she announced proudly. “We hope that this operation will bring a new future to our entire race. If it succeeds, we will make sure that no one will ever forget your input into this initiative.”

Miria cheered happily while the other girls exchanged bright smiles. The Supervisors began applauding them for a moment before the golden-clad woman silenced them with a gesture.

“We agreed to house the army you have gathered back in Tyr, but considering the recent developments of our lodging situation, we politely request that you give us a little bit of time to prepare adequate accommodation for all the soldiers,” Sidr continued.

“But of course.” Asterios nodded. “The people we brought back should definitely be your priority right now. We will patiently wait for everything to calm down a little again.”

“At the same time, it’s not like we will be able to clear the entire Spire in a day or two so even if we leave right now, you should have enough time to make preparations for the army,” Bryn added. “We will need their assistance much later.”

“It shouldn’t take long. Of course, you are free to depart whenever you wish to, but let us know if there is anything we could help with. While our own archives certainly can’t compare to Brage’s collection of knowledge, you may freely visit them in search of additional information,” Sidr offered. “They are mostly filled with copies of documents from Brage but who knows what you could find there?”

“We appreciate the gesture.” Asterios made a respectful bow.

“Now, in case you choose to leave soon, please take this.” She walked up to him and held out a spearhead-shaped badge with a clear indent to Asterios.

“What’s this?” Grea peeked over his shoulder.

“A simple communication artifact. I know that you can send your shadowy familiar to contact us, but just in case it won’t be possible, you can use this to signal us about your intentions,” Sidr explained. “Each press of the hollow in the center will make a chime sound in this chamber. Press it thrice and we’ll assume that you are in trouble. Press it five times and we’ll take it as the signal to descend and begin clearing up the monsters in the vicinity of the Spire. The details need to be discussed with the commanders, of course, but this much should be fine.”

“Perfect. Thank you.” He nodded and stored the artifact in his ring. “We will most likely wait for the arrival of the army. There are parts of our plan that we should discuss with everyone. We haven’t yet filled you in on everything either. And, some more practice against the Scourge will certainly be beneficial.”

“A wise choice.” She smiled at them.

And so, the final preparations began.
