Chapter 298 Karmic Retribution

"Are you coming?" I asked, but she just shook her head and took a step back.

"I... I don't know what you are," she said, but I just chuckled and walked through the door.

"I am whatever I need to be, let's go, or you will get left behind," I said as I opened the door that had no inscription on it this time.

"Where does this go?" She asked as she looked through the door hesitantly.

"I have no idea, but it is the only way out, so unless you want to stay here, you are coming with me," I said as I grabbed her hand and pulled her through the door.

"Okay, okay, I am coming," she said as she stumbled through the door after me. I was done with her shit and just wanted out.

We found ourselves in a long dark hallway, and I could hear Kelly's breathing echoing in the darkness, but I just ignored it and started walking. We had been walking for what felt like hours, but it was probably only been minutes when we finally came to a door.

I pushed it open, and we walked through into a brightly lit room, and I had to squint my eyes against the sudden light. When my eyes finally adjusted, I looked around the room and saw that we were in some sort of throne room.

There was a large throne made of gold at the far end of the room, and in from of it was a stone coffin. This was my prize, but somehow it felt lackluster since we were already sort of a pair, but at least it wasn't Kelly.

"Well, that was... eventful," Kelly said as she looked around the room, but I just shrugged.

"It was what it was," I said as I walked over to the coffin and pried it open. Inside was a beautiful woman with long blonde hair, and she was wearing a white dress.

"Who is she?" Kelly asked as she came to stand next to me, but I just shook my head.

"The Origin," I said, and as I did, Olivia's eyes opened, and she smiled at me.

"You made it!" Olivia giggled and jumped into my arms as she got up and gave me a long kiss. I hugged her back, but then she looked at Kelly. "You actually brought her the entire way? From the way she was acting when she was sucked into the dungeon, I thought you would have just left her behind."

"Excusing me?" Kelly asked, and I nodded.

"It's true, I did try to split up at one point in the hope of the monster eating her, or I should have left her in the sea of estrogen. Jeez, that was one crazy room; I have never seen so many beautiful women in one place naked, trying to all get in my pants at the same time!" I laughed as I kissed Olivia again and then tried to put her down, but she stopped me.

"I have a gift for you since this place will give you none. I will give you my Vampiric Blessing, my Cat God, Ophiuchus," Olivia said in a sensual voice as she bared her fangs and then bit into my neck.

I gasped as I felt her teeth sink into my neck, but then I felt a warmth spreading through my body as she started to drink my blood. Then a fire started to fill my veins, and I groaned, and she continued to drink, and my body started to change. This shouldn't be possible, but this was The Origin of all Vampires, and this was a blessing like what Breya had done, but much greater from a goddess.

My arms and legs started to grow thicker and more muscular as my body started to bulk up. My clothing started to feel tighter as my muscles swelled, and then my clothing ripped as my body continued to change. My claws sharpened and grew longer as my nails became black as obsidian.

My canines sharpened and grew longer as my eyes turned a bright golden color, and then my vision changed as I could now see in the dark as if it was the day in full color. My body was now covered in black fur as I continued to grow until I was almost twice my size.

Finally, Olivia stopped drinking my blood and licked the wound closed, and then she giggled as she jumped down. "There, all done," she said, and I looked down at myself.

I was now a giant black panther, and I let out a roar that shook the room. I then turned and looked at Kelly, who was staring at me in disbelief, and then I shrunk back down to my human form, but now my tail was sleek and black. I put my hands on my head, my ears were smaller and sleek black, and my beard was perfectly trimmed.

"Well! That is a new form! Even with all my memories back now, I don't think you have ever turned into a Vampiric Panther!" Olivia laughed, but Kelly was still staring at me with a scared and confused look.

"I... I don't understand," Kelly said, but I just chuckled and walked over to her.

"You don't have to; just be glad that I even came to get you. You were supposed to be killing me, right?" I asked, and Kelly flinched.

"Oh? There is a lot of turmoil for Tallia? I was really surprised that those three goddesses were the ones that found me!" Olivia laughed, and I smirked as I felt my tail; it was really smooth!

"Even better is that it was Claire that found you, the Holy Beholder," I laughed, and Olivia joined me.
