Weiss lightly cleared her throat before she began, “I guess I should preface this by saying that I really, really like all of you, as you’ve been so loving and nice to me since I’ve arrived this morning. Even though it’s been hours, somehow it feels like its been days since I met you all and I cant thank you enough for the affection you all have showed me, especially you two Nix and Neyah. You both have showed me lots of affection and even said you both Loved me even though I am a Schnee who has done and is doing horrible things to the Faunus up to this very moment. And that is what I want to talk about and since there is no easy way to say it, I’ll just break the information as bluntly as I should.” She took a moment to collect herself before speaking again and once she finished, she tightly squeezed her prince’s hand to assure herself and then spoke without changing face. “Ever since the beginning of the Schnee Family’s history they were using and abusing the Faunus as a source of free labor, slavery obviously. Faunus slaves are being used, and have been being used, to fund the Schnee empire since the start, and I pick those words specifically because as of last night, I learned that it never stopped.”

Weiss took a moment to let the information sink in for her lovers that were listening, and she watched as Glynda and Pyrrha’s faces turned sour, but shockingly to her, Nix and Neyah remained completely unfazed by the news, so she just continued. “My mother would’ve stopped this, but essentially what had occurred was…” from there, Weiss gave the entire group the shorter, less detailed version of the things they learned yesterday, not telling the specifics of her mothers story since that was hers to tell, and once she had finished, everyone was on the same page regarding the events that had led up to Weiss joining them that afternoon. “So, I understand if you guys don’t want to associate with me anymore, my family has done horrible things and I will be forever attached to that horrible name. I do still want to be with all of you, but I wouldn’t fault you for not wanting to be with me.” Everyone’s attention turned to the Faunus twins as they looked to them for a decision, they all had a very similar thought in mind and that thought was simple, they all had already accepted Weiss for who she was, and although they were surprised about her family’s present with Slavery, they knew that it didn’t define her. However, when it came too an issue as sensitive as Race, they knew that they weren’t the ones to decide whether or not to be accepting, so the deliberated too the ones who it mattered the most for.

As they all sat in silence waiting for the twins to speak on the topic, Neyah nonchalantly said, “we kinda already knew about the whole damn Schnee slavery thingy, so it’s not shocking at all. I still love you regardless Wiessy, plus you gave me a kiss earlier, with tongue, and you liked it so I doubt your racist or anything.”

“I agree with Neyah on my assessment of you Weiss, I love you as well, and I know that you harbor no feelings of ill intent at all towards the Faunus, if anything you looked at me with guilt that I found very unpleasant. Even though I find the look of guilt unpleasant, if I’m being completely honest, I find it quite reassuring that you do feel that way it proved that you saw wrong in what Jacques and the other Schnee’s had done. It is my belief that guilt is a selfish, overcorrection for atonement and feeling guilty or remorseful for something you didn’t do is unacceptable, so if it would help you get over your guilt then I would like to let you know that I forgive you for everything and anything that you did or could’ve done.”

Weiss was stunned by the things she was hearing, “really? Just like that? No yelling, shouting, screaming, hitting, shaming, or maybe even a little bit of blaming? You just forgive me for everything?”

At the girls outburst of questions, Nix and Neyah turned to one another and then swiftly turned back to Weiss and nodded their heads, “yes/yeah.” Just like that, the problem was resolved for the lovers. They knew that she had done no wrong and even if she did, she was remorseful about it which to the twins was more than enough for atonement.

Weiss was still shocked and she looked to her prince for answers, but he simply shrugged his shoulders and gave her an ‘I told you so’ look, but even then she honestly couldn’t even get passed the first thing that Neyah said, so she sparked up another question, asking, “how did you both know about the continuation of Slavery after its abolishment? Even my mother didn’t know when she was about to become the official Heir.”

“Well duh, of course we know, it’s literally the reason why our Clan made the White Fang in the first place. Everything on the main continent was a shit show for the Faunus, so the Panthera clan made a super edgy, undercover, fuckin ninja team called the White Fang to kill the bad people and free the captive Faunus.”

“I fucking knew it! The instant I heard Willow say that some mysterious group was going around freeing all the slaves I knew that it had to be the goddamn White Fang, the original White Fang rather. Now all I really need to know is how it got so… un-undercover and become such a large and vocal organization. And even though they knew about the Faunus being still enslaved they still didn’t even flinch for a moment, but I guess it makes sense since this is their reality. It is the truth that they grew up knowing even though the rest of the world thought it was completely false, not possible to be true. It’s like the Remnant equivalent of telling a black person that police brutality is a thing, the reaction is simply gonna be ‘no shit’ ” he thought as he continued listening to the girls explanations.

“Although that was the main objective, they also simply kept a look out for the Faunus on the main continents as a whole, making safe havens for us to stay, campaigning for civil rights using humans as covers, and doing favors for villages so they saw Faunus in a better light. They did all this in the name of expanding the range that we could be excepted far beyond just our tiny little island, but after the Schnee’s caught wind of the dangers of having slave mines on the continents and since the mines were beginning to dry up anyway, in mass they began transporting Faunus to the mountains where they setup far more mines than before, using just as much Faunus slave labor. Obviously, the White Fang tried to stop it, but it was far too large scale, so instead we tried to take the much louder approach. Announcing the White Fang organization to the Faunus public, recruiting as many members as possible, and taking down as many transport vessels as we could, but it didn’t do much and eventually all the Faunus were gone, and we were left with only one real choice which was to use our voice as a means to get our people back.”

Where Nix left off, Neyah quickly picked up saying, “and you see where the fuck that left us. Discriminated, hated, and Faunus-less. As the White Fang grew the Panthera Clan didn’t really want it anymore, so they instilled an election to let whoever wanted to be lead, be voted in and it was around that time where the White Fang became what it is now. A group with good morals, fighting for a great cause, but with barely any effect. The White fang only went public for the sake of stopping the enslavement once and for all with one final push to stop the Humans from taking our people, but now that there all up in the unscalable mountains of whatever the fuck the mountains are called, aint no hope left.”

“I don’t think that there is no hope left” their lover said as he spoke up from behind Weiss. “Honestly, I think it’ll be a breeze to set every Faunus free, transport them all to safety, show the world how horrible it is to treat other intelligent life this way simply for being born differently, like its Bloody Sunday in 1965, and change the world for the better. While I’m at it I’ll kill Jacques and allow Weiss, Willow, and Winter to bring in a new era of peace and prosperity for all races and then… do some more cool shit while I’m at it. Just give me like four months and I promise to make that dream a reality.”

“Darling, when you put it like that you give me hope and I know that you can do shit like that effortlessly, but its been like this for so long that it’s hard to believe you could do it so quickly.”

(Y/N) chuckled a bit at her statement, “well, even if it was impossible, I already promised to do it, so now I have no choice but to make it possible. Hey, random question, but do you know who the current leader of the White Fang is?”

“I don’t fuckin know “ Neyah said bluntly, earning a strong right fist from her sister. “Ow! Damn, you don’t know how to control your own strength!”

“Don’t disrespect the White Fang, they still fight for us, our people. Even if it’s ineffective or makes people hate us, they still try and that’s more than most.”

Neyah’s mood dampened slightly, “I know, I didn’t mean to disrespect. I was just sayin that they seem to go through leaders so often that I can’t remember if they changed leadership since the last time we met with em.”

“Sis, they have not.”

“Ok, then the High Leader right now would be… Sienna Khan, I think. Before her it was some bigger dood, a lion/panther Faunus named Ghira, he seemed pretty nice the few times we met him.”

Nix nodded her head up and down as she listened to her sister speak, “yup, and he is now the Chieftain of Menagerie, Ghira Belladonna. Sienna Khan is a peaceful woman at heart, but she is the first of the White Fang High Leaders to directly recommend using violence and fear as a weapon to fight for equality, which is the complete opposite of the soft hearted Ghira” she spoke. After a short moment of stillness, Nix turned to her Baby and asked, “why the sudden interest in the White Fang?”

At her question he thought about it for a moment before saying, “because I know how important they are to the image of the Faunus as a whole. The public barely see’s the kind acts of a thousand people, instead they focus on the one deviant and allow that to represent the whole. I don’t believe that the White Fang’s reputation has gotten dirtied in anyway yet, but I’d rather not have the entirety of the Faunus race be seen as a bunch of criminals because of a few mistakes. If anything, I’d like them to be seen as the heroes of this story and in order for that to happen, the white fang need to represent as such. The issue with that is, I have to somehow find a way for them to be seen as such, so the more information I have on them the better.”

A short moment was spent in silence as everyone took in the severity of his words, understanding how much he had given thought to liberating the Faunus people from their discrimination. The moment of silence was broken with Glynda saying, “wow my love, you really have some very exuberant goals in mind at all times. First it was to save Beacon, Vale, and Remnant as a whole, now it’s too free the enslaved population of Faunus on a foreign continent and make the general public understand that the Faunus should be treated fairly and equally in all aspects of life. You really don’t think very small, do you?”

The group shared a small chuckle, and Scarlet added, “well you’re forgetting about a few goals in between those ones. The first day I met him he took over what was essentially half of Vale’s most powerful criminal organization, then made friends with the most powerful crime syndicate in all of Remnant, then he decided to kill the most powerful man in Vale’s underworld becoming the de facto, number one, most powerful man in all of Vale’s criminal scene. The King of the Underworld kind of figure. Even Neo can attest to that,” Scarlet spoke, making Neo rapidly nod her head as she usually did, smiling brightly as she recounted the events that brought her here.

That brought more chuckles out of everyone, as Pyrrha then said, “I believe that there is something that we are all forgetting about this marvelous person we call a lover. He has done all of that, created and accomplished many, many goals, gained so much power and respect in Vale, all in a matter of weeks. It feels like it has been years since I have been loving my Hubby and you all as well, but I believe we forget to consider the fact that he has been around for less than a month.” Now that piece of information hit them all like a brick, after all it really had felt like its been years since they met him, but in reality, it hadn’t been all that long since he suddenly appeared.

“Damn, I guess he probably will accomplish all that shit then” Neyah said

“I guess it wouldn’t even be probable at this point,” Weiss began, “if anything I’d just say that it is inevitable.” As she finished saying it, all of his lover’s attention fell upon him as they gave him all a weird stare of loving admiration.

“Uhh, what are you staring at me for? I didn’t really do anything special yet” he said as he waved his hands, deferring their compliments elsewhere. “Anyway, Imma keep doing what I do, but I can’t really do it entirely by myself, so I’ll be requesting all of your help along the way.”

As Nix heard his words, she perked up and commented, “I don’t really believe you need much help, if anything it sounds like you need assurance. Like you have a general idea about everything that is happening, but you are not confident until we or someone else you trust gives you information to reaffirm something you already knew. However, if you consider that help, I am sure we’d all be more than happy to help you out in any way shape or form, and I’ll start by telling you everything I know about the White Fang.” Nix and Neyah then took turns telling him some much-needed information about the White Fang and their modern-day activities. He as well the rest of the woman absorbed all the information that they provided them, and in doing so they all learned a lot and gained a newfound respect for the White Fang and the lengths that they went to too keep the Faunus safe.

After that conversation finished up, the central focus of the discussions shifted slightly as everyone took the time to truly learn about one another’s pasts and the things that they went through to become who they were now. It was a very loving an accepting session as everyone learned a bit about one another and accepted their pasts as part of themselves. Eventually, evening turned to night and they were still conversing with one another, but at the same time, (Y/N)’s Aura had finally returned to him, so he decided it was about time for him to get the grind going again. Neo immediately noticed his shift in body language and walked over to him, tugging lightly on his jacket sleeve and staring up at him pleadingly. As he looked down at her he said, “I’m not going to Hel’s Kitchen tonight, I have some other things I gotta take care of before tomorrow comes. So, you and Scarlet can just chill here for the night if you want to, I’m sure Glynda isn’t gonna kick you out for not having a visitors pass or anything like that” his small joke made her smile a bit, but at the same time her pleading look remained on her face. “What, you wanna come with me?” In response to his question, she rapidly nodded her head yes, “I’m sorry Neo, but where I’m going you cant follow. I’m not saying it as it’s a dangerous thing and I don’t think you could handle yourself; I literally mean it is impossible for you to follow me there.”

While Neo didn’t really understand what he meant by that, she simply accepted his words and gave him a quick kiss before happily waving him goodbye. That got the attention of everyone else who quickly picked up on the fact that their lover was leaving, so they all gave him their goodbyes, with hugs and kisses, and he left, keeping his Aura with him since Glynda was their to help them sleep. With Lilith around his body and Byakko by his side, they rapidly teleported and ran through the city, immediately entering the first Dungeon they saw.

Dungeon: Vale’s Commercial District Grimm

Recommended Level: 7

The dungeon was much the same as the Upper-Class Dungeon, it was essentially just a weird, distorted version of the city, however this Dungeon had much wider streets than the Upper-Class district one, making the packs of Grimm a bit larger. Once they entered, Byakko said, “so, Master, what are your plans for tonight? I understand our main goal, but I am curious as to what you wish to do.” Byakko said as they entered the weak dungeon.

“Well, first things first is finding out what the fuck this gorgeous danger noodle likes to do when she fights” he said as he lightly pat the head of the snake receiving a light hiss in return. “But first, we have to activate her Aura so let me just do this.” As he gently pat Lilith’s head, he activated his own Aura, causing his overtime to activate and gently stroke the snake as well.

| Lilith |

*New* Power Source Manifested: *Aura (AU)* has been Unlocked!

*Aura*- The manifestation of one’s soul into a powerful source of energy that all soulful beings have access to.

*New* Abilities Obtained: *Semblance*- A manifestation of Lilith’s innate ability, and personal power unique to her. This power was developed from the manifestation of Lilith’s soul, Aura, and is a tangible representation of it.

*The Forbidden Fruit (Semblance)*- Using this amazing Semblance, Lilith is able to consume and gain powers from things that ordinarily is impossible to gain any value from, most notably Dust. When she swallows Dust whole, she is powered up immensely by its presence in her body, giving her the ability to do various different skills with varying powered up effects!

“Interesting, instead of using weapons and what-not to enhance your attacks using Dust, you can actually directly power yourself up by eating it. I believe it is time to put your abilities to the test Lilith, feel free to do what ever you wish, just show us how you prefer to attack.” As he gave her the order, Byakko, Lilith, and himself walked deeper into the Dungeon until they found a small ground of 4 Beowolves that Lilith could handle, and as they approached them, Lilith quickly slithered off of her Master’s body and coiled up in front of the group of Grimm. “I wonder where her strengths lie, if I had to guess I’d say that it’d be some kind of magic since she has a lot of INT, but that could’ve happened because she was drinking my blood for sustenance. No use in speculating, she’s about to attack so I might as well just watch.”

(Y/N) and Byakko watched as Lilith uncoiled herself ,slithering into the air, using her muscular lower half to support her air climbing endeavor. Once she reached a certain height, she pointed her diamond shaped head forward and opened her blood red mouth wide, revealing her long, black fangs. At the same time, bright crimson symbols began appearing all across her black scales, drawing all across her long body, and rapidly increasing in brightness. The designs across her long body mostly appeared to be magical runes of some kind, running across her form like her scales were the canvas for a intricate magical circle and they appeared to be very demonic in nature, but if her body were the lines and symbols for the circle then her diamond shaped head would’ve been the center piece. The intricate symbol on her head was triangular in shape, perfectly outlining her arrow like head with its crimson lines and in each of the triangles corners was a perfectly placed crescent moon that helped outline her head. At the center of the Magic symbol was a trippy design that depicted the open jaws of a venomous snake baring its fangs, but since the jaws opened in a oval like shape, it appeared to be a vertically opened eye, and sure enough at its center, in between the fangs, creeping from the back of the snake designs throat, was a red, peering, slitted, eye.

The symbols all across her body grew even brighter until a blood-colored ooze suddenly shot from Lilith’s mouth, splattering all over the Beowolves and pooling beneath their feet. Byakko and (Y/N) watched as the Beowolves rapidly tried to remove themselves from the tar like substance, but they were completely unable to, however they weren’t taking any damage from the attack, so her Master believed it was a non-fatal, pin like attack, but her Master was very, very wrong. As the Beowolves struggled to move out of the pit of crimson tar, a massive, bladed appendage suddenly shot up from the pit and slammed down on one of the Grimm, stabbing it with the blades and crushing it in the same motion, killing it instantly. After the first died it was silent for a moment until a ground shaking roar suddenly erupted from the pit and immediately following the roar, the massive jaws of a beast clamped around two of the Beowolves, chomping down on them as it flew out of the depths of the blood pit. It didn’t just climb out, it flew out using the two large wings on its back, flapping them to rapidly propel itself higher into the sky, and as it reached a certain altitude it suddenly soared down towards the ground, crashing onto the last Grimm below, stabbing it with its claws. The massive beast that had flew out of the pit, the being that slaughtered the Grimm, the ally that Lilith had summoned from the abyss was none other than a Manticore.

“Holy shit.”

“Holy shit indeed Master, it seems like our companion is a summoner of amazing proportions.”

“Yup, it would definitely seem that way” he said as he watched Lilith slither back to him, climbing his body and resting back on his shoulders with the Manticore still standing in the middle of the Dungeon’s hall.

“Wow Lilith! That was so fucking cool!” (Y/N) began rapidly praising the snake that was snuggling up to his neck. He light scratched her under her neck and stroked her entire length which she seemed to really enjoy, and as he gave her praises, Lilith pleasantly hissed into his touches and communicated to her Master with her eyes. “A summoner huh? I guess your able to summon whatever you eat and since you ate the Manticore egg then you were able to summon one, is that right?” Lilith responded to her Master’s question was a quit his and a smooth rub on his chin, which he instantly understood as a positive yes. “That is a really cool ability, but I guess it would tuff on your early game since your pretty small and can’t swallow massive stuff whole just yet” he said as he was thinking about how to speed up the process a bit, but Byakko finished her analysis of everything that had transpired and spoke.

“Master, I believe that Lilith has other techniques that count as consumption, similar to how you have multiple skills that count as absorption. Correct me if I’m wrong Lilith, but I believe that her base fang drain attack that she used on you would also count, if done fully, towards consumption” Lilith confirmed that Byakko wasn’t wrong with a swift tail swivel.

“Either way, I think I have a way to superpower you up really quickly, but for the rest of the night let’s focus on getting you stronger and fleshing out your abilities.” When Lilith heard those words, she let out a terrifying Hiss at her Master and instead of snuggling against his neck, she branched off his shoulder to look him in her eyes. (Y/N) quickly got the message she was sending, “you really think you’ll be alright by yourself? I mean, I know you’ll be fine, but you sure you don’t want to just spend night one getting familiar with us?” Lilith then flashed her fangs at her Master in a silent Hiss, “Alright, if that’s how you want to do it, then that is how we’ll do it. We divide and conquer, taking out as many Dungeons as possible and getting as powerful as we can at the same time. Lilith, just try your best not to get caught while your traveling around the city looking for Dungeons, I’m sure you have something in mind for that already though so I’m not too worried. You can handle the Commercial District Lilith, Byakko can handle the Residential District, and me and my clone can take care of the rest. Lilith, are you okay with that arrangement?” After she listened to his proposition, she retracted her fangs and snuggled herself back into his embrace, confirming that she was happy with that decision.

Byakko watched the exchange with mild irritation as she didn’t like that Lilith had essentially said no to her Master, but she decided to let it slide this time, after all she was still new to the group and was still very immature in comparison to her. Byakko then waltzed over to her Master and spoke, “come on Master it is time for us to go. Lilith clearly does not wish to waste anytime cuddling with Master” she said as she separated the two of them with her claws. Byakko said that she would let it slide, but that didn’t mean that she wouldn’t act out about it. So, she ‘gently’ removed the snake from her Master and pulled him along with her towards the Dungeons exit, leaving Lilith alone inside to do whatever she wished. After they left the Dungeon, Byakko cuddled with her beloved Master for a moment, telling him that she loved him, before she teleported away to cover her assignment, leaving (Y/N) alone to go do his.

He was privy to the small irritation that Byakko had towards Lilith, but she seemed to deal with it well enough and he doubted that Byakko would get madder as the night went on, so he chose to ignore it and simply continue the grind that he had set for himself. As he leaped onto the buildings that led him in the right direction, he separated himself from his Aura, and teleported to the closest Dungeon in his chosen sector.

Dungeon: Vale’s Agricultural District Grimm

Recommended Level: 8

Once he entered inside, he immediately noticed the change in scenery from the former Dungeons. The Agricultural District was by far the most open of all the Dungeons he had entered thus far, the entire environment was an open plain with a few shrubs and trees with fall-colored leaves. The grass that covered the ground was a pale, sickly greenish-brown and the sky was a cloudy grey, covered with dense clouds, that allowed none of the sun’s rays through it. Once he took a better look at his surroundings, he thought to himself, “I guess the fastest way to handle this would be to run to the Boss, kill it and then dip, but that shit seems kinda wasteful. I wouldn’t be able to kill all the Grimm in the place, plus I’d miss out on the shitty loot from the chests. Man, this would be a fuck ton easier if I didn’t have to actually go through these weaker Dungeons at all, but the completionist in me says I gotta clear the Vale Map.” As he finished the thought, he took a few steps deeper into the much more open Dungeon, seeing that the majority of the space was filled by separated groups of various Grimm. As he saw the masses of separated Grimm, a sudden thought crossed his mind, “What if I just blew everything the fuck up? Like just use a skill that was able to cover the entire area of the Dungeon and kill everything in the room. I do have some destructive Skills that I haven’t tried using yet, maybe I can just kill everything from here and instantly leave to make the whole process go by faster. Fuck it, no reason not to try.”

As he finished deciding what he was going to try, he took a small step forward and activated a Skill that he’d been wanting to try for a long time, “Hakai” in that instant, he felt the Mana in his body rush to exit his form, spreading out to surround the entirety of the Dungeon. The Mana rapidly spread out, stretching further and further away from one another until everything was within their grasps. The instant his Mana completely filled the empty space of the Dungeon, each and every point of MP began expanding, completely saturating every molecule, every minuet object, everything they came into contact with, and for a moment all remained calm. However, that calm only lasted a moment, as (Y/N)’s Mana had built up more than enough energy and at speeds faster than (Y/N) could register, all of his Mana suddenly shot towards a single point, the center most part of the Dungeon, taking everything, they saturated with them, and compressing all of it in a single molecule of space, leaving nothing behind but an endless void of black that (Y/N) simply floated in.

To (Y/N), it looks as if the entire reality of the dungeon suddenly got sucked into a black whole, ripping the clouds from their place in the sky like wallpaper, tearing the ground itself from existence, and sucking in all the Grimm into the hole, killing them instantly. He was left floating in an endless space of blackness without light until a white portal suddenly opened up in front of him and notifications of victory filled his mind. “What the fuck just happened?”

You Killed…! Here are your rewards:

……….

The list went on, detailing all the Grimm he had destroyed with his reality shattering attack, however the only thing he found interesting was the last notification at the very end of the list.

Congratulations! You have destroyed a Dungeon!

Here are your rewards for accomplishing such an amazing feat:

| + 1000 {+500} Exp | + 10 {+5} AUS |

*Hakai* {Lvl: MAX}- DESTROY; Cost 5000mp

Instead of continuing to ask questions that he already had answers to, he teleported his way to the exit rift and left the empty void that was now the Dungeon. Once he stepped back onto normal ground, he thought, “It destroys things, who would’ve thought.” Now that he had the ability to literally one-shot Dungeons and get a reward from doing it, instead of focusing all of his attention on the clearing of Dungeons, he switched his central focus to his mind and moved his body on autopilot. The reasoning for turning his attention to his mind was simple, he had some Grimm he needed to cook up in the Beast Tamer menu, but since he didn’t know what exactly he needed to do, he was going to take this time for more trial and error. However, he quickly realized that it was going to be more trial than error since he almost immediately figured out what he needed to do, and with Meta’s help, he rapidly got the Beast train going.

Because of the massive amount of Core’s, he had gotten from his clones efforts in Atlas and Byakko instantly gifting all the masks and cores she got to him, he had more than enough Cores to create as many eggs of as many different Beasts as he wanted, and so began his tests. He immediately began with creating a normal Beowolf and infusing it with nothing but a Human Essence to see what it would turn into, and much to his surprise it turned from a usual Beowolf, into something a bit more sinister called a Grimm-Wolf.

The Grimm-Wolf had stats and a growth rate that was far superior to the normal Beowolf and in addition to that, it also had MP although they didn’t have much INT to go along with it. Obviously at level 0 it didn’t look very impressive, but if it was leveled up it would become a force to be reckoned with. After the Grimm-Wolf, he did the same thing with an Alpha Beowolf, and unsurprisingly he got an Alpha Grimm-Wolf which, much like the usual Grimm-Wolf, was a much more powerful, more humanoid, version of its counterpart. The only issue with them was that if he were to feed them to Lilith, she’d be stuck with level 0 Grimm that she’d be forced to level up, so he had to come up with a plan to fix that issue. However, there were some problems that got in the way of his attempted solutions, firstly he had limited amounts of Human Essence, even though he had a ton, they’d eventually run out if he didn’t kill more people, and Grimm can’t breed, so he couldn’t naturally make more of them. Once he attempted to breed them, he remembered a similar fact about Byakko refusing to breed with other Beasts, so he placed that information in the back of his mind to ask later. Getting back to the topic at hand, he found that since he had a limited supply of Human Essence and the Grimm couldn’t breed, he figured that he’d focus on making a strong few rather than an army of many.

The first thing he wanted to focus on was making the strongest of each type of Grimm he could make, so that is where he started his process. Nevermore’s turned into Griffons, The Giants turned into Gryphon, Ursa turned into Grizzled Minors and Majors, Sabyrs turned into Alpha Sabyr-Wolfs, Teryx into Terroryx, Centinel into Grimm-Wyrm, Cenitaur into Aracnituar, Manticore into Komodusk, Sphynx into Kaiju, and Megoliath into Behemoth. After converting all of these into their much more powerful, Human Essence enhanced counter parts, he put them in the kitchen and started feeding them the best, most Exp efficient, concoctions he could make, all at the recommendation of Meta, and then put them, one by one, in the Battle arena where they faced off against 99of their Grimm siblings. After the rigorous growing, eating, and training, he was left with some very powerful Grimm that he was ready to feed to Lilith the next time they met.

At the same time as him creating all these Grimm and destroying Dungeon after Dungeon, he was still receiving notifications that updated him on the status of his companions. Every time they completed a Dungeon, leveled up, or in Lilith’s case, reached a milestone, he was alerted.

| Lilith |

Level Up! Level Up!

…………….

Lilith shattered her second Primordial Shell and has reached her second period of Independence II! Primordial Shel III will take form at Level 25.

| Byakko |

Level Up!

By the end of the night, all of Vales Dungeons had almost been completely cleared, and as the sun began rising over the horizon, only a single one remained, and it was at this last Dungeon that (Y/N), Byakko, and Lilith unintentionally regrouped at. On his mental map (Y/N) immediately saw that it was located in the central most parts of the city, the city square, so as he approached the location, he simply chose to sit on a roof close by, to remain hidden. He was the first to arrive on the roof, swiftly followed by a teleporting Byakko, and soon to follow behind them was a much, much, much larger Lilith, who silently appeared riding on the back of a Manticore. As the Manticore landed, it slowly sunk back into the pools of blood beneath its feet, revealing a much larger Lilith. Firstly, the black basilisk was no longer only 15f (4.5m)t in length, instead she was more than double that at about 40ft (12m) in length and her head even when laying flat on the ground reached up to his ankle, her arrow shaped head was the widest part of her body, but the rest of her length was still about the thickness of thigh. She had a few distinct changes as in the center of her diamond shaped head she had a dimly red glowing symbol that look like a crescent moon with a sword/ upside down crucifix hanging from the bottom of it. The cross design went in between her eyes and the long portion stopped at her nose, but the crescent moon took up the majority of her face giving her a distinctive glow of serenity. However, the rest of her body stayed the same, pitch-black scales, bright crimson eyes, black bladed fangs, and blood red mouth and teeth.

Once Lilith reached the ground, she immediately attempted to slither towards her Master, but before she reached him Byakko was suddenly in her way, flashing her blacked mouth and large white fangs at the snake before growling underneath her breath. “This is the bed you made Lilith, now you will lay in it. Since you wish to be separated from Master so badly, I’ll assist you in that endeavor.” When she heard Byakko’s words, Lilith flicked her forked tongue and rose from the ground, flashing her fangs and threateningly hissing at the much larger white tiger, but Byakko wasn’t fazed at all by her threats, so she staunchly stood her ground. The tiger and snake were glaring so hard at one another that sparks began to fly from the stares, however the sparks didn’t remain metaphoric for much longer as Lilith’s intense anger grew and so did her body. The already large Basilisk seemed to absorb the air from her surroundings, beefing up her already large form and rising higher into the air, she then quickly coiled up as though she was preparing to strike, intensely hissing all the while. As Byakko saw her threatening aura, she immediately began glowing as blue sparks of lightning began cloaking her body, standing the hairs on her body and creating an intense glow that illuminated from her eyes.

Lilith’s magical symbols began illuminating from her coiled form and Byakko’s glow only grew with every passing moment, but something quickly came in to swiftly stopped the duo’s sudden feud. “Alright that’s enough! Both of you, calm the fuck down.” The instant she heard her Masters voice Byakko’s lighting instantly went away, Lilith on the other hand glowed for a moment longer before she dismissed the runes and deflated herself. “Byakko, what’s wrong? It seems pretty unlike you to get this aggro over something.”

Once she heard her Master’s voice, she turned around with her ears and tail drooped in shame, and as she was face to face with him, she couldn’t look in his eyes, so she instead bowed at his feet. “I… apologize Master. I never meant to anger you in anyway” she said softly, truly feeling shameful about displeasing her Master. “I-I didn’t like the way that Lilith had treated you. She dismissed you when all you wished was to help her grow stronger and learn more about her skills and abilities. I don’t like it when people treat you poorly Master, so when I saw her try to cuddle back up to you like she did nothing wrong it made me angry. I’m sorry Master if my actions displeased you, I am willing to take any punishment you see fit for me.” Byakko’s head remained low to the ground and her ears and tail remained flat against her body, waiting on her punishment that never came. Instead, her Master gently brushed his hand against her head just the way that she liked it, and the instant she felt his touch she unintentionally purred as she usually did.

“I’m not mad or displeased by you getting defensive, just confused. I see why you got that way, and I am actually happy to see that you care that much about how others treat me, but at the same time it’s not called for in this scenario. Lilith didn’t want either of us getting in the way of her growth and that is completely fine, besides its not like it was a command, I was just giving a suggestion. I will never force either of you to do something you don’t want to do, so if you ever wanna do something else just tell me, like Lilith did, and we can figure something else out. So, Byakko and Lilith, I am not mad at either one of you. No need to apologize.”

Once Byakko heard her Master wasn’t displeased by her, she rose from the ground with her ears perked and tail swishing, and she leaped at her Master, gently rubbing her face against his and lapping lightly against his cheek. “Master, your so kindhearted! I love you so much!” Lilith watched the two of them cuddle for a moment before slithering up to her Masters free side and snuggling up to him as well. After a long moment of affection, the sun had already risen high above the horizon and (Y/N) realized it was time for them to go back to the room.

“We can take care of the last Dungeon tomorrow night, so for now let’s head back up to Beacon. I don’t exactly know how the both of you are gonna remain hidden, but it doesn’t really matter that much if your spotted since soon everyone will know you exist.”

At his comment, Byakko said, “actually Master, I wish to remain alone with Lilith for a moment, so you can go on ahead. Once we are ready, I’ll just transport myself and her to you using Wherever you go, the Skill I learned yesterday.”

(Y/N) looked at the two of them puzzlingly for a moment before he decided that it’d be fine for them to spend some time alone together, “sure just don’t stay to long. Oh and Lilith, tomorrow night I have a few gifts for you that I’m sure you’ll love!” As he got ready to leave the duo, he gave them both kisses on their foreheads and was about to teleport off the roof when he suddenly remembered something. “Oh yeah Byakko.”

“Yes Master?”

“Why do you refuse to breed? Like, in the Beast Tamer menu it is impossible to put you in the breeding grounds and the System says that it is because you cannot and will not breed with anything.”

Byakko didn’t even take a moment to think as she said, “because the only person I wish to breed with is my Master.”

Her response gave (Y/N) pause for a moment as about a million thoughts immediately crossed his mind, leaving him speechless. However, after a moment of staring blankly at the tigress he spoke, “but you’re…. actually, never mind. I’ll see you both when you get back” and with that he suddenly teleported away, climbing up the mountain, and swiftly making it back to his room where the girls were beginning to stir.
