PHASE 9 - BABY OUT!

When I opened my eyes, I was in a different dimension.

The Realm of the Frozen Soul.

My head feels clear, and I’m no longer dizzy. I can still remember what happened before I got transported in here. I was in the underground prison, fighting the Eidolon of Lust. I got swallowed by that monster. And for some reason, here I am, in this world full of ice.

At the center of the frozen field is a gigantic diamond crystal containing the woman who is cursed to sing the for all eternity.

“Tiara…” I muttered.

I took a step forward and had a good look on her face. She’s still as beautiful as ever. Her adorable cheeks are still blushing even if she’s sound asleep like a baby. Her telepathic singing soothes my mind.

“Rikkun.” The Frozen Soul finally talked to me through my mind.

“T-Tiara…”

“I will never let you die. Not again. So please… accept the power of the ”

Suddenly, the platinum ring on my hand glowed. I noticed that Tiara’s chest is now emitting rainbow light.

The platinum ring is the symbol of our love for one another. This is the trophy and the proof that we won against the cruel fate that has been written for us. Furthermore, it is the connection that gives me infinite power by drawing the sword of crystalized love for seven million timelines.

Tiara wore the ring with a pendant, to keep it close to her heart so that I can draw the wherever I am.

That connection has never been severed even though she is now the Frozen Soul.

I opened a Gate with my hand, and a sudden surge of energy enveloped my body. I drew the hilt of the sword from the portal and raised it up high.

“Thanks, Tiara… I love you.” I muttered with a smile.

Rainbow pillar of light shattered the skies and coated the platinum sword. Slowly, the dimension shatters, bringing me back to reality.

Slash.

The sound of a ripping flesh cut open has been made. Then, I focused my energy on my legs and buttocks to jump with a relentless force!

“Hraaaah!”

I charged outward from the torn stomach of the snake monster and finally made it to the surface. I rolled on the floor and anchored the platinum sword to the ground to stabilize my position.

“Grraaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!” The gigantic snake lady cried in pain. There was a large vertical open wound on her snake body just below her flower skirt. Now it looks like a large hooker’s v*gina. With the disgusting goo bathing my whole body, I now look like an aborted fetus.

“The baby’s out!” Jeanne cheered as soon as she saw me. “I knew you wouldn’t die that easily!”

“Alaric!” Erylle cried. Her gaze was immediately magnetized to the platinum sword I’m wielding. “I-Is that…”

“I’m sorry for that caesarian,” I smirked to the snake monster as I wiped the sticky stomach acids on the shoulder part of my coat.

“SCREW YOU, MORTAL!!! YOU’LL PAY FOR THIS!!!” The Eidolon of Lust roared, and the vines around her started to grow in an accelerated manner.

I stared at the diamond blades of the . I feel weaker energy from it compared to when I first drew it from Tiara’s chest. Since Tiara is sealed, I can’t use this sword at full power. It will take a lot of time just to kill this Level 4 Eidolon in front of me.

But…

This is not the only power that I received from my love.

I raised the , channeling the prana I needed to defeat the monster.

“Die!!!” The snake woman used her sharp claws to slash me. If I get hit, I’ll clearly get chopped into five pieces.

“!!!”

The light faded, and an icy silver streak followed. When the darkness went away, the snake lady’s fingers were cut. Her hands started to freeze, rendering her regeneration ability useless. I have completely sealed her wounds with ice.

“Damn you, Alaric Eisenhower!!!” The snake lady roared once again, and the vine tentacles started to chase me.

There are roughly twenty sharp vines that are planning to pierce and kebab me. But I won’t let that happen!

“!!!”

In an instant, all attacking tentacles were severed and fell down to the floor. Black sap oozed from those vines that had been cut clean by my blade.

“Dieeee!!!” The snake lady opened her mouth wide open and charged a gigantic ball of poisonous gas. It’s not just gas, but this ball of malice has the power to melt anything like a powerful acid.

Suddenly, I heard Tiara’s voice inside my head.

“Rikkun… I’ll lend you my brother’s power…”

A glowing energy shard appeared on my left hand. It contains tremendous energy and gentle warmth, like a golden sun giving life to anything that it lights upon. It is a fragment of the God Core of Ra, the Egyptian Sun God.

I raised the and fused it with the shard of divine power.

“ installed!” I shouted.

The platinum sword was immediately coated with golden flames. Its colorless diamond blades were now converted into crimson ice, and the platinum parts of the changed to shiny gold. Gentle flames started to envelop my body, forming an aura full of warmth.

“What the-!!!” The Eidolon of Lust is surprised, and there is no doubt that her voice is full of fear upon seeing my sword. “I won’t let you land an attack!”

Several vine tentacles spawned from the floor and chased me once again. Now, there are fifty of them. I can sense poisonous prana on each of those tentacles, and I’ll be dead if I touch it.

“!!!” I stabbed the floor with my burning sword, and an ocean of flames pulsed. In an instant, all tentacles have been burnt to crisps.

“I-Impossible!” The Eidolon is in awe.

“Haaaaaaah!!!”

I charged forward and leaped sky high. I focused all the divine energy on the burning as I channeled a finisher spell!

“!!!”

A magical circle that has the logo of the sun materialized just in front of the snake lady’s face, and it exploded upon half of a second. Her whole body is now being eaten by the golden flames of the Sun God; Ra.

“Kiyaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!” That was a cry identical to a burning witch. “H-How dare a mortal to unlock such power!!!”

“Burn, bitch!” I shouted as I made the last blow.

A downward slash cut the snake lady half and clean. The golden flame streak flashed, and it made a deafening explosion similar to a small nuclear blast.

When the smoke faded, nothing was left from the Eidolon of Lust except those withering vines in the background. Unlike Eidolons on Yami, the Eidolon of Lust never gave any drops, not even a Quintessence. But more importantly, Jeanne and Erylle were free from those perverted tentacles.

“That was great, Alaric!” Jeanne cheered. “You never told me that you have an awesome sword!”

“I never knew that I could still use this too.” I stared at the , which is now back to being a plain platinum sword filled with ice crystal blades.

“Can I borrow it?” Jeanne made a bold request. Her eyes twinkled as she stared at the sword. Little by little, her fingers crawled until she touched the hilt.

“Of course not.” I immediately dematerialized the . “This is the only thing my lover left me. I won’t let any bacteria from your hand land on it.”

“You’re so stingy!” Jeanne stomped her feet angrily as she groaned and puffed her reddish cheeks.

Suddenly, the burst out into rainbow dust. It’s like the same thing when I first wielded it. I can’t keep its existence for more than thirty seconds.

My attention shifted to Erylle who has been silent for a while. And then, I finally realized why.

One of the two gigantic pearls she’s holding with her telekinetic powers is now on the verge of cracking. It’s like an egg hatching, and we’re just waiting to see what kind of poisonous snake will come out.

“I’m sorry guys, I can’t keep this one sealed any longer.” Erylle knocked her head and winked with her tongue out. “Teehee~”

The sound of the shattering glass echoed.

Now we have to fight another Eidolon.
