Chapter 68: Arc 5: Black Blasphemy (8)

There was the reason the group decided to ‘unwind’ Hikari first and saved Amy for last.

Amy was principled with strong-will in the most unexpected manner. She saw herself as the guardian of the Residence’s moral, which meant she would try to rebuff their approach no matter what she felt. They needed to convince her that degeneracy in the bed wouldn’t translate to moral depravity. The only way they could come even close to that was to unify the entire house in agreement, and ‘invited’ her to partake in the bonding activity (aka orgy).

That was Xia’s ambition, and she dragged Ciel along the ride. As for Betty, she discovered from the last few days that she also possessed a kink. Xia might harbor a sister sandwich fantasy, but Betty was a natural-born voyeur. Seeing Xia, Ciel, and Caislean engaged in sexual activity flipped the switch she didn’t know she had. Now, she couldn’t get enough of it. Both sisters were alike in this respect. Capable in their field, but a lust-crazed glutton in the beds.

For Caislean, she was happy to finally had her worth be affirmed.

Finally, the lucky man, Ciel, was having concern about his stupidly increasing stamina.

…

The plan to remove Hikari’s chastity belt had been drafted for sometimes, but Betty was waiting for the best moment to make the impact. This wait time was helped by the fact the hubby had finally delivered on the head wife’s request.

Ciel was already a skilled artisan before the mess in Eleanor, but the pressure of being tasked at supplying Eleanor’s last ever trade fair had pushed his skill to the peak of humanity. Creating high-rank artifacts out of counterfeit Accel coins more than spoke for his mastery. With proper supplies and raw materials he had obtained from the Eleanor’s final moment, the Unity Lord could truly make something transcendental.

If Ciel was honest, the alarming increase in his stamina and power after bumping his ‘partners’ count might have played a part in that.

In the room in the Harriet House, Caislean — Ciel’s official assistant — wheeled a mannequin wearing Xia’s newest gear.

In the room, everyone was presented. Xia was waiting for her personal upgrade. Amy was there for courtesy. Hikari and Betty hung in the back and listened closely out of curiosity. Ciel sat on the chair to answer the question.

The clothing being wheeled in was a white, hooded robe, covering a one piece inner-wear. It sported a matching white elbow-length gossamer gloves, and similarly colored knee-high boots. On the wrist were two sparkling jewel bracelets.

“Pretty,” Xia voiced her opinion.

“Yes, pretty,” Caislean said. A hint of annoyance leaked through her voice. After last night, the girl was done with politeness. “It was the highest grade equipment we ever created. This thing cost a fortune.”

…

Caislean had a right to be annoyed. The equipment’s stat she started handing out explained why.

“All of them are five-stars,” Betty whistled. “These are national treasures.”

“Yes,” Caislean confirmed. “Allowed me to explain.”

Caislean began going over the artifacts, “This is a six-pieces battle-suit composed of outerwear, a one-piece chain-mail, gloves, knee-high boot, and two,” she breathed, “very over-tuned accessory.”

“Yeah, those two are bangers,” Ciel said, wincing. “Can’t believe I actually finished those.”

Caislean continued by introducing the hooded robe, “The robe is created from silk, baptized in a holy fountain in the Cave of Grace, granting it an ability to nullify most interference effect. Basically, anything that could slow the user down from poison, Lethargy, or similar suppression effect is nullified. Baptized layer of gold thread quenched in high concentration holy water granted high White Magic and defense amplification.” Caislean made a face. “You won’t believe how mush gold it took to finish this set. Ciel’s [Divine Awakening] also gave this robe the ability to generate Holy Field which was instantly lethal to anything fuel by Red and Black Mana.”

“It instantly kills daemon and undead?” Hikari mused. “This robe must be a necromancer’s worst nightmare.”

“It gets better,” Caislean said, undoing the robe’s clasps, revealing the chain-mail woven from silvery metal. “The Gospel Scale,” She whistled. “This baby sapped half my lifespan when I checked the inventory.” Caislean raged. “High-grade silver alloy with mythril and more sacred iron imported from Yulong? Xia, your new clothes almost bankrupted us.” Caislean finished her description while ranting. “The defense is top-notch given its wallet-killing cost, and the powdered holy stone solution ensures we hit the targeted White magic amplification after the quench. Ciel also engraved every link in this armor with the runes to amplify Exterminate. This entire clothing is a White Mana conductor. It even came with Holy Scale ability after awakening.”

“Holy Scale?” Hikari blinked.

“It transfers all the gears White amplification to Aura,” Caislean said. “Switched this on and Xia could stop pretending to be a mage, and start braining her opponent with her fist.”

Caislean introduced the boot, “Gospel Wing. Ciel created this one with the holy beast’s leather tanned in the White Mana pool in the Cave of Grace and more additive. Its awakening allows you to fly, and our special-lining boosted its speed, Aura and power to the beyond.” She turned to the gloves, “Gospel Grasp. These elbow-length gloves are our experiment of bathing cotton seed in the Cave of Grace’s magical pool. We weaved it with mythril fiber. The patterns on the gloves are Exterminate runes. Its awakening ability is Holy Blade, allowing you to coat your weapon in power amplifying coating of holy power.” Caislean rolled her eyes. “I can’t imagine the [Deific Wing] getting stronger, but it appeared I am too naïve.”

“What about the accessory?” Amy asked, noting that Caislean was the most energetic in a long time.

“The accessories,” Caislean was utterly deflated. She took out the bangle wrapped around the mannequin. “Let me tell you how absurd they are,” Caislean held out a gem. “Ciel, my master,” she heavily emphasized on the ‘master,’ “ pulled an Etaceh and pushed engineering field by creating synthetics magic gems.” Caislean rolled her eyes again. “Seriously, just because you bought the machine doesn’t mean you had to use it.”

Ciel coughed, trying to ignore Caislean’s ranting.

Caislean showed the group said trouble-making jewel. “We used our old reliable ground holy stone, ashes of fossilized wood from Cave of Grace, powdered holy beast bone and blood as a base. This magical stone possessed top-notched Aura and White Magic parameter with amplification in both Heal and Strengthen. Its awakening turned it into a Matrix Barrier projector that could probably tank Etaceh’s artillery.”

Then Caislean grabbed the remaining wrist accessory and activated it. Behind the mannequin, a ring of white and transparent glassy wires floated up and expanded into a halo connected by the gentle pulse of White Mana.

Caislean introduced her nemesis of the day, “Say hello to Helios Ring. We made it from fossilized wood and specially home-made blessed fiberglass, using the same rune-etching technique Etaceh used for her barrier over Hecate, but better. Instead of inscribing the runes into the atmosphere, we etched the core of the system into these extendable wires that acted as origin point to create a temporary amplifying field in the atmosphere. You can ask Ciel for the detail because the math is insane.” Caislean wave the bangle. “With this bracelet as interphase, the Ring can amplify area wide White Magic. Ciel and I named this process Sun Circuit. Awakening also granted it a function called Helios Amplifier which powered a White spell, using the total White Magic amplification of the remaining artifacts as a base.” Caislean gulped. “Seriously, Xia if you activate Exterminate with these abilities, you will have +42 in White Magic, on top of +52 Exterminate amplifier.” Caislean looked into Xia’s eyes. “Those were enough to blow-up a mountain.”

Xia whistled, “Wow,” she thanked both crafters. “This surpasses what I am expecting. Thank you.”

Betty asked about her goods, “What about mine?”

Caislean exploded, “The shit you pick was an over-technology, Betty.” She added another point. “And we didn’t have the Cave of Grace to pump specialize material. Do you think smart liquid metal grows on a magic tree?”

…

Later that night, Xia was guiding Hikari to talk business.

“Is it only me?” said the blind girl. “Or Caislean is a little more energetic.” Hikari reached the conclusion. “Wait!” She blushed. “Don’t tell me she did it…”

Xia waited for the voice to trail off and smiled. “Yes,” she confirmed. “She is pretty cute during the four-some too.”

Hikari turned bright red, “Do we have to go there?” She suddenly worked out where Xia was taking her. “Don’t tell me it is my turn next?”

“If you choose,” Xia said. “We won’t force you, but the longer you wait, the more awkward this will become.” She added more punch. “What is the saying? When in—”

“I know,” Hikari said.

Eleanor’s former Gold Leader was conflicted. Originally, Hikari prepared to offer herself to the Unity Lord to maintain her status in Eleanor. That plan didn’t pan out because she ultimately lost everything. At her lowest, it was Xia who rescued her and Ciel who picked her up. Honestly, she knew Ciel was preferable to most of the men she knew. The part of Hikari that was resisting was the fear of the utter moral debauchery of an eventual orgy.

It wasn’t like Hikari had never seen such decadence. The rich in Eleanor collected lovers at numbers that made Ciel looked like a herbivore. Hikari simply never imagined herself being in such a raunchy situation.

Hikari knew the situation was inevitable. They weren’t exactly transformed into the cutthroat inner-palace. Amy was a stop-gap to prevent that kind of cutthroat culture. That didn’t mean Hikari could escape from her eventual fate.

They came to a stop in the room.

“Can it be just me and Ciel?” Hikari said.

“Of course,” Xia replied, opening the sliding door with a smile.

…

Hikari stood face-to-face with Ciel alone, fidgeting nervously.

Ciel let out a tired breath and went on an offense. He stood, closing in on Hikari with a slow walk. Leaning closer, he whispered into her ears.

“Are you ready?” Ciel said.

“No!” Hikari yelped, backing to the door. The bandage tied around her damaged eyes made the anxiety worst. “Let get this over with.”

Ciel gently peeled away her black shirt and jeans, revealing the conservative underwear and naked, toned body beneath. 

In anticipation, Hikari gulped. Her sense of touch explodes from the lack of vision. Her partner’s hand danced around her body, and his lip devoured her. With her sense on override, Hikari was left gasping for breath within the five minutes. Ciel was simply too experienced for her. Then the moment arrived where the harden rod of manhood brushed against her moist skin.

Hikari expected that would be the moment she was fully transformed into a full-fledge woman, but Betty had another plan. It wouldn’t be her brainchild if Hikari wasn’t driven down the debauchery slide.

“Not so fast,” the door slid open with the announcement of the Sorceress.

Hikari felt the naked woman embraced her from behind, and fingers were deftly peeling off the bandage across her eyes.

“Betty?” the delirious Hikari cried. “Why? I ask—”

Betty put her hand over Hikari’s mouth, silencing her protest.

“Silly girl,” Betty said, enjoying every moment of this. “It would be a shame if you never got to see the moment, you become a woman with your own two eyes.” She pried the last of the bandage away. “Do you think Xia pushed this subject today on a whim? She didn’t. My [Analysis] your sight would be returning any moment, Hikari. I suggest you never forgot tonight.”

Upon hearing that, Hikari was stunned. She parted open her eyes, seeing Ciel in front of her. The vision that had returned was something else. The period in the lightless world where everything was sound and touch made forgot the vibrant of the colors. Hikari’s violet eyes detected things clearer than ever after suffering through the period of blackness. Hikari realized Betty must have known her new eyes would give her sensory overload.

But Hikari didn’t care. The sight she had moaned and hoped for had returned. 

Ciel picked that moment to thrust his manhood all the way through.

Hikari saw, heard, and felt everything to come after in greater clarity. The kiss they shared as Ciel and Betty carried her to the bed. Her gasp of mating lust and the excited face of her honorary sister as she got her sense pounded. She let out a raunchy scream as Ciel screwed her up the moon in the missionary position while Betty gave her a lap pillow.

Her body relaxed and her mind went blank. Hikari felt some reservation in her broke from the sensory overload.

It appeared she wouldn’t get to fulfill her obligation privately.

But was really obligation by this point? Hikari’s life was a story of servitude. She served and killed for others. This was different. Hikari realized as her mind calmed down, and the addictive joy she experienced shaved away her final mental barrier. Hikari no longer had a master. Ciel was more like her husband, and her new friends were more like family than a subordinate. It was a partnership of bonds — one which she enjoyed.

Hikari continued riding on Ciel's rod with the primal desire in her eyes. She wouldn’t lie, but she was more than enthusiastic about this development.

…

The activity continued late into the night.

“Betty,” Hikari said. Her tongue parted from the mouth of the honorary sister below her. The pounding she received from behind was sending her head into a daze. “You taste so good…”

“There, there,” Betty patted Hikari’s head, savoring the sight of Ciel pumping her newest sister over the moon. “I remember you don’t swing this way. I don’t know what would Nuan feel if she knew I am doing with you.”

Hikari moaned, “I don’t know anymore.” If Hikari was honest, she might be too harsh on Nuan. “Oh,” she felt herself rapidly reaching the peak again. “Oh god…”

“Here I come, Hikari,” Ciel delivered a final thrust and released his seed into her wombs.

Hikari twisted with pleasure on the bed, moaning in gibberish after the cream-pie.

Ciel noticed his stamina was undaunted, “Should I be concerned I am tired after all this?”

“Why should you?” Betty reached out to Ciel’s rod, pumping it in a hand-job. “Ciel,” she batted her eyes, “I still want more.”

Ciel happily obliged that request.

That night, Hikari official joined the others on the kinky list of sexual animals.
