Chapter 242: A Lust for Happiness.

Chapter 242: A Lust for Happiness.

White.

It was white.

The ceiling, the floor, the walls, the distance. Everything was white to the eyes. There was no color around except for myself. Even then, I was more translucent with some colors, dyed with the white around me. It seemed familiar like when I visited the Goddesss divine realm.

Youve woken up, Ellaine, a soothing voice said from behind me.

I snapped my head around, beholding a woman in a pure white dress, drinking tea as her iridescent feathered wings shuffled around. She had the same white hair and face I remembered seeing before, during my first meeting with her.

Goddess Aurena? I spoke, before remembering everything that happened before this meeting. Being kidnapped, being rescued by Jonathan, and then trying to rescue Amelia, only to end up

Am I dead? Is this the afterlife? I felt an immense desire to cry out, as if something compelled me to fight against that statement. To not accept it, that this was not a fact, but a callous suggestion. I wanted to be wrong.

But all I could feel was an immense despair. I remembered how my head had been cut off. The light flickered away from my eyes, drowning myself in the darkness and silence of the abyss. Terror. Fear of my own mortality resurfaced. I couldnt help but shiver.

Oh, dont be like that, Ellaine. Dont think you were the only one worried to death about what happened! Another voice appeared from nowhere, this time, it wasnt nearly as soothing or calming as the Goddesss, in fact, it had a certain seductive attraction. I felt nervous just hearing it.

Ellaine, dear, I can hear your thoughts. I think we made this clear a while ago!

KleaHatma? It wasnt actually the demonesss real form, but a small mana orb floating around, the same one I saw during our first meeting. What are you doing he Oh wait, right. I forgot. Im sorry.

[OklLuthiers Power] was a unique skill connecting KleaHatmas powers to me, meaning I was the only one able to use her powers. However, as a safety measure, the moment I died, KleaHatma would, too. If she went against me, she would have been killed, too. The Goddess acquiesced to my request, but she did not slack with the preparations.

Im sorry I wasnt strong enough. Im sorry I wasnt attentive enough. I should have known all of this. I should have reacted faster the moment [Prediction] appeared. There was still so much I had to improve about myself, but I guess all my efforts were in vain. I was too late to improve myself

The effort everybody put into me was wasted. Thrown into the trash. I felt terrible. My family, my friends, my party. I failed them all, and I couldnt imagine what they would think after they found my corpse. I felt disgusted with myself for allowing them to witness me like that, especially my parents and bro

Brother?

You arent dead just yet, Ellaine, KleaHatma stated.

Huh?

She is right, Ellaine, the Goddess said. And, I am also not the actual Goddess Aurena. I am just a part of her power she put into [OklLuthiers Power], with the function to destroy the demon the moment you fall into temptation. I am her cell and executioner, and this is the realm within that skill.

I am inside a skill? My soul?

Death-defying protection, or in simpler terms, a vampiric blessing of undying. The amulet you received during your dungeon dive because of the effect of such artifacts, we place them high on the rarity list. You cant get one without killing a guardian or mid-guardian of vampiric or bat origin. The higher the difficulty, the better the chance. You were lucky to receive it from a C rank.

Rarity list? Guardian? Is this the language of the Gods?

Even if there were words I wasnt familiar with, I still understood the gist of it. The amulet I kept with me even in my sleep managed to prevent my death. I placed my ghostly hand around my neck, wondering how that was supposed to work. Am I to live as a disembodied head?

We can read your mind here, Ellaine. Your soul, technically. Rest assured, the amulet is currently repairing your injuries through blood magic, and will reattach your head, the fragment of the Goddesss power explained.

Then, why is my soul inside this area? If my resuscitation is upon me, then I must immediately make myself ready! My brother and Amelia are in grave danger with Charleslyt around!

Thats right. I remembered. I remembered Charleslyt piercing my body with his sword, giving a monologue as I pleaded in desperation, before decapitating me. It gave me a deep chill as I reminded myself of it.

There is no need, Ellaine, KleaHatma was the one to answer me this time. This place has its own law of time. Every minute here is but a few milliseconds in reality. Aurena brought you here because she needed to tell you something, and, besides, what did you imagine you could do once you stand back up? Your Health will be full again, but your Mana and Stamina are still empty.

Urgh I groaned.

Charleslyt was a capable warrior who was able to reach B rank. Within the hunters guild, you had to pass an official guild exam to rank up, and, even if he had cheated on it, I saw exactly what he was capable of when he dueled against Hestia. With his equipment, he was quite strong.

In addition, he had received the powers of a demonkin. If they managed to turn inexperienced combatants like the twins and those young nobles into threats just through a stat boost and quick healing, what could that power do for an almost knight-tier warrior like Charleslyt?

I am a C rank adventurer at best, even with my armor and sword equipped. Even then, I dont have much actual dueling experience.

KleaHatma is correct, Ellaine. Although powerful, the blessing on the amulet only works once before breaking. The next fatal strike would be it your end. If survival is your only priority, use the moment of your survival to flee. Although it wasnt the real Goddess, this was still a fragment of herself, and hearing this nonchalant answer as she sipped her tea made me feel unpious.

I was angry at her answer.

But from the looks of it, I dont believe that to be an option for you. KleaHatma, you can feel it, cant you? Her desire to rescue her brother and friend?

KleaHatmas mana orb found wobbled in the air, indicating a nod. That feeling is intensifying, yes. You mentioned wanting to experience happiness in your life, correct, Ellaine? And this desire includes your family and friends, so you can make them proud. This was your last thought before you died.

Oh! How embarrassing I was thinking that when I thought everything was about to end. But, its not like it wasnt the truth. I really do want to make everybody proud of me. For how long I made them feel bad for me? I really, really, really want to change that image of myself.

Ellaine, I have been watching over you and KleaHatma ever since I originally gave you [OklLuthiers Power]. I must admit to being somewhat surprised. Your heart and mentality were surprisingly stable, despite having used her demonic powers so often. The more your personality is aligned with a demons blood, the more power you can invoke from it, but also the more likely you will be consumed by it.

From my textbooks, the more a demonkin accepted their demonic lineage, leaning towards one of their ancestors, the more they would be able to awaken that power. The more demonic they acted, the more powerful they would become.

Ellaine, I might be your Goddess in Peolynca now, but I was once someone who governed over beings like KleaHatma in the world we Origin Gods came from. Even without this skill realm, I can tell there are hints of envy and wrath inside you right now. Aurena placed her teacup down. The Sin of Lust, in our worlds definition, is the ultimate hedonist. A person who strives to quench their unending thirst for pleasure and stimuli. Whether sexual, materialistic, or emotional. Unlike those controlled by greed, who cannot accept something not belonging to them, or gluttony, who would go to any lengths to satisfy their appetite, someone under the sway of lust is more in control of themselves. They are more like a wildcard.

And you have been influenced by me, Ellaine, KleaHatma stated with full confidence at the end of the Goddesss explanation. Whether it's you acting a little bit more assertive or just being more aggressive with your actions. Your desires have been intensified during this time that Ive been with you however, for some reason, you havent fallen into full-on lustfulness yet. You still remain yourself, to the point I was testing my limits by teasing you more than I should have probably done.

I wasnt sure how to respond to those statements. Did I change? I dont think so. I still acted on what I believed would be correct for me to do, even if I had to go against the opinions of my party members. Just With strength comes confidence, and with this confidence my desire to become my ideal knight reawakened.

Then What are you two trying to tell me? I dont quite understand.

Aurena nodded. The reason why I brought you to this realm? I believe it is time for you to unlock the next function of your skill. Level three and assimilation.

Aurena, are you trying to kill me here? KleaHatma questioned the Goddess with an indignant tone.

Assimilation?

The ability to temporarily become a demonkin by injecting demonic mana through your blood, allowing you to manifest more powers of a demon ancestor, without straining your body too much. In your case, you would possess purer blood than even one of the demonkins princes of lust, since you have the progenitor inside your rings, the Goddess explained, smiling at me but something told me this wasnt a warm one.

Demons are like elite soldiers, Ellaine. In our previous world, we were led by our primary gods and their subordinates to enforce their ideals and execute their plans. In some cases, when a worshiper summons us, we would perform assimilation to grant them our powers temporarily, KleaHatma added. But the problem is, the likelihood of permanently becoming like a demonkin is extremely high, Ellaine. Like those twins, those twisted nobles, and that Charleslyt. They have been corrupted by the sin of pride

KleaHatma then looked towards Aurena. The moment you fall into that corruption, I will die. Aurena would kill me to prevent you from falling any further.

Use the demon like a tool. I remember those words you and Hestia spoke to me, Ellaine. This is a gambit. You would obtain enough strength to rival a B rank adventurer at your current assimilation rate, but not only would your body feel immense fatigue afterwards, but there is also a chance I will destroy this skill and KleaHatma if you fail to stay true to yourself.

The Goddesss words were like spears while her eyes leered at KleaHatma and me as if we were all beneath her. The warmth the Goddess of Light showed me at the beginning was gone, replaced by a cold, calculative stare. She was giving me a choice, and she was ready to act on whatever I chose.

KleaHatma? I looked over at the demon, worried and anxious at her reaction to all of this.

Follow your desires, Ellaine. That is exactly what I would do in your position. If Jonathan and Amelia are precious to you, you should do everything to keep them safe! Dont show any pity for me; Ive lived long enough and I had my fun with you and the others. I have committed countless atrocities, more than you could ever fathom; I am the antithesis of what you wish to become, Ellaine.

KleaHatmas voice seemed distant, as if she wasnt directing those words at me. It was as if she was just speaking her mind. Expressing her instincts and giving everybody in the room an idea of what she really thought of it all.

I can feel it, Ellaine. You have an incredible lust for happiness. You want your life to turn around, to turn your story up until now around completely. Her voice became clearer and louder the more she spoke, as if she had readied herself for the inevitable. You need my power to save Jonathan and Amelia! Take it! Accept the assimilation! I will even give you the power to defeat those damn demonkin youngsters! I will make you into Griffonpeaks hero! I will turn you into the knight you always dreamed of! As the demonic embodiment of the Sin of Lust, I, KleaHatma will fulfill this contract between

No!

There was an eerie silence. Neither the Goddess nor KleaHatma said anything as I bit my lips in frustration, having forced myself to say those words.

What do you mean by that, Ellaine? KleaHatma finally asked in disbelief.

I will not accept this assimilation. That is my final answer.

Liar. Hahaha! KleaHatma burst out in maniacal laughter, as if she hadnt laughed in ages, until she found a joke so funny she couldnt control herself. I am the demon of lust, Ellaine. Do you think you can trick me? I can sense it. I can sense your lust to find happiness! Stop lying to yourself and embrace that desire of yours already! ACCEPT THE ASSIMILATION!

No.

But why? I-I dont understand. I can feel it. I can feel what you want, so just release it. Dont bottle it up until it explodes later on, Ellaine. You will regret it.

With a wry smile, I looked at KleaHatma. I took a deep breath before giving my answer.

Because that isnt who I am.

The knight stories father always told me when I was still a child were probably the most impactful part of my life. They taught me ideals I cherish to this day, but they were also a major reason why I felt frustrated in myself.

My envy for brothers talents and success as a knight-in-training made me aware that this dream was only a distant imagination. And this self-deprecation fed itself into my mind, furthering a cycle of self-destruction. I gave up on my dream, separating myself from that dream to distance myself from the constant thoughts of how much of a failure I was.

But, that was until I heard Hestia perform her first concert.

Her song Promise holds a dear place in my heart. The story she told through it was heart-wrenching but also reawakened something in me I thought I had given up. I had reached a turning point, and I held onto it in order to never let this opportunity fly away.

But, could I sacrifice something to preserve my happiness? I couldnt. I wasnt that strong yet. I was still a naive noble girl who still dreamed of stories of gallant knights ending wars on the backs of their trusty mounts.

I knew at this moment that I was choosing the worst option. But

You are lying to yourself as well, Klea! I shouted. I can sense it. I can sense your will to continue living. I can tell you arent willing to just throw your life away for me, erasing any chance for you to reconstruct your body! You said it yourself, you and I have been working together for too long. I cant tell it as accurately as you, but I can feel it, you want to be happy, too. But death you dont desire that for yourself.

KleaHatma was silenced once again, this time, she couldnt say anything as I continued making my mind.

I dont know if I can do it. Call me naive all you want! I am! I am still like that! Even if I have to die once again, this time, I will make sure that at least I will rescue Jonathan and Amelia! I pressed my hand on my chest. Even if we both die this time for real, Klea, lets do it by our own free will. So KleaHatma, will you make a contract with me? Will you grant me the power to save Jonathan and Amelia!

A contract was a binding agreement between two parties. Yes, sometimes you could force somebody into a contract, but as a daughter of the Greenveil duchy, I understood what it really meant. Until the both of us accept it willingly, I would not think of Kleas contract as binding!

Do you want me to be truthful with myself! Yes, I desire myself to be happy! But what I really want is a happy ending where good triumphs over evil just like in a story. I want an ending where people can be satisfied! That also includes you, Klea.

I reached out my hand.

Ellaine Hiehie, you are such an idiot. Such a foolish girl, but somehow, you are really attractive right now. What sort of power do you have to make the heart of an old demoness like me beat like this?

Uhh, w-what?!

Hiehiehie, you impress me, Ellaine. Our attention snapped back to the third person inside this realm, the fragment of the Goddess. Her cold stare was gone, returned to the warmth I always imagined she would radiate. I understand. If you are like this, then you have my blessing.

A light lit up inside my soul, followed by one surrounding KleaHatmas mana form. It became brighter and brighter, to the point it consumed the both of us.

However, never become too lackadaisical, Ellaine! The more you feed KleaHatma with your mana, the more energy she will have to reconstruct her former form, and when that happens, her personality will shift. When that time comes, you will need to subjugate and make her your pawn."

I could hear Aurena giving me that warning, but neither my thoughts nor words reached her. Everything was being consumed by this light.

Until that time comes, you must strengthen yourself! Train, level, become more acquainted with the powers of an oklluthier. But, most importantly, stay true to yourself, Ellaine! Even you can become my champion. Or, maybe even a seraphim.

Ellaine! NOOOOOO! Charleslyt, I will kill you for this! How dare you do this to my baby sister! You fucking traitor! EeaaaaaAAArgh!

Silence. What gives you the right to address me only with my name? Know your place. You are just the son of an arcanuess. I am the son of a grand duke. The only traitor I see is a pitiful noble who decided to bite the hand of his master. For that, you will join your sister soon en

HiiiiiiiiiiiAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!

Pressure was building up inside my body the moment my consciousness returned to my body. The energy streaming through my veins was calling for my full focus, to the point I wasnt even interested in making sure if my body was reformed correctly. Were my organs stitched up properly? Was my head on the right side?

But, with all the thoughts running through my head and my blood singing in my veins at this moment, those were the least of my worries.

[Listen, Ellaine! Pour your mana into the rings and I will morph it into blood. Inject this blood into your bloodstream, and let it course through your blood system! Be careful, control the flow, dont let it rupture your heart! You must control this!]

[Got it, Klea!]

Pour mana in, get blood, slowly inject blood into my body through flesh tendrils. Slow breaths, slow breaths, I have to control my breathing! I cant let my heart race too much!

[OklLuthiers Power] assimilation rate: 2%

[Good! The skill is controlling the assimilation rate! Damn that Aurena, she scared the panties off of us for no reason when she had a way to stop me from affecting you too much! Still, dont get complacent, the moment you feel like you arent yourself, tell me and Ill stop the assimilation!]

[Got it, Klea! Lets do this!]

Breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out.

[OklLuthiers Power] assimilation rate: 5%

Feel the blood flow through my heart, let it feed me cells.

[OklLuthiers Power] assimilation rate: 10%

By the Light, how is that woman still alive?!

Nourish my cells. Allow them to control the blood! Let them feed on the blood!

[OklLuthiers Power] assimilation rate: 13%

Begone, you foul undead! By the Light in this sword, I shall cut you dow

Noooooo! You Equetard, I wont let you kill my friend again!

Wha?! Amelia! Unhand me now!

[Enough, thats the limit! Release it!]

I stopped pouring mana into my spell rings. The headache from arcane corruption was still there, but I pushed right through that pain, pulling the energy from inside my body forth!

[Assimilation!]

Purifying Greatsword!

As my vision blackened, I could see a glimpse of a bright light sword. [Prediction] activated as I could feel something sprouting out from my head, back, and behind. As I moved my body away from the projectile trajectory reflexively, I could feel something happening with my eyes, teeth, and nails.

When the light finally returned to my eyes, I realized that I had been inside a black mana cloud as the light sword flew right past me, cleaving through the collapsed pile of that house we were in a few minutes ago.

[Fly, Ellaine!]

[What?!]

[Ill show you, learn quickly!]

Bone wings. Large wings made from bones and bits of flesh had sprouted from my back, fully capable of bringing me up to the sky to fly around. As I was struggling to control them correctly, Klea took full control of them, ordering me to attack.

And I did just that.

Let go of Amelia! Wrapping [Musclemass] around my arm, I flew right up to Charleslyt, twisting around his shield to give him an uppercut with my right fist.

Uuuaf!

I then grabbed onto his armor, dragging him up into the sky before landing another hit to his face, sending him shooting down to the ground. Before the dust dissipated, multiple light sword slashes shot right at me, prompting me to dodge around. Surprisingly, I had little trouble dodging it, despite how fast they were.

Materializing [Whiplash], I used [Enhanced Enemy Sense] to detect Charleslyt behind that smokescreen, waiting for an opening to shoot the whiplash. Once I found it, I shot the thick, flesh tendrils into it, feeling something metal when my three-fanged claw grabbed it.

I pulled myself towards it while KleaHatma accelerated my body with the wings.

Damn woman! Haaa!

I narrowly ducked from Charleslyts incoming sword. He had anticipated me launching myself to him like that. With my back turned to Charleslyt, I could feel [Prediction] telling me to dodge, but I was still recovering from my bad landing.

Bio: Hey there, AbyssRaven here. I'm just an avid Light Novel and Fantasy story reader who randomly thought of a story and began writing about it.

I eventually found out that I've been spending a bit too much time with building, planning, and researching for the story, that I've decided to just share it with others.

Writing is mostly a hobby for me, but I would still love any kind of criticism to improve on it.

I'm also german, so please excuse anything that sounds a bit weird...I wouldn't mind you pointing it out though.
