Chapter 57: A serious conversation

"Xenovia, why did you bring me here?" Strax asked, seriously this time, he was not at all happy and Xenovia noticed that, deep inside she might even feel guilty for this, but she didn't care enough.

"You've been away from home for too long, it was time to return." Xenovia said, seriously, but... for some reason... Strax was slightly worried about his older sister, she...

"Blushing eyebrows, dry lips, and fidgeting with your right hand hair, you're nervous?" He asked again, more precise and sharp, but she didn't give in.

"Stop imagining things." Xenovia said, coldly again, maintaining her composure.

"O-oh, what's wrong?" Xenovia started to rise up to question, but with a cold look as hers...

"You made me ride through three cities, pass through mountain ranges and port cities, be attacked by a group of mercenaries, a mountain guardian, and an assassin group.

And now, instead of simply telling me what's worrying you to the point of caring about me, which by the way, you've always treated me the worst possible way," Strax said, his eyes became fierce, he was really not satisfied with the events that had happened, but he also... "Forcing sentimentality can work with her." Strax thought.

Said and done.

"I brought you here to get a sword." Xenovia said, seriously again and looked deep into his eyes.

"A war may explode, and unlike what you think, I don't hate you." She revealed... "I don't know how to show these feelings, but I don't reject you, and among all our brothers, you are the only one I could risk something with, just like I did.

Or do you think that the mission I did was just something simple that would allow me to bring back an expelled member?" Xenovia said, attacking in the same way as Strax.

"Tsk, a sword? Why would I need a piece of crap sword?" Strax said, summoning a frozen sword in his hands, Xenovia saw that and didn't help but raise an eyebrow, Strax noticed the curiosity and commented "I learned from the bear." He said, "It's useless" Xenovia said and with a flick of her hand, she launched a small burst of black fire.

*WUUUSHHH*

The sword began to melt with just one touch. Strax looked at that and didn't help but sigh.

"Cursed monster." He murmured, Xenovia looked at him and explained "The concentration of mana is weak, its composition is good, but its ice will be weak if you continue to focus on the element and not on the mana condensation, concentrate on the element's temperature, not on the sword's structure, first train that and then shape it, so your ice will be indestructible as long as the mana is more concentrated."

She said quickly like a teacher...

"Is it a strong spirit?" Xenovia asked, but... "No." Xyn responded, "I'm not allowed to talk about other sword spirits." She said, as if she was... "I'm prohibited from commenting on the other sword spirits." She said.

"Tsk, you're just inventing excuses," Xenovia said and left the scene...

Meanwhile...

"Damn sister, what's this crap about calling me to protect me? You've never cared about me!" He shouted internally while taking deep strides towards the exit, when he least expected it...

"Girls are as weak as I am, sisters." Strax said and dodged a red blade, then quickly jumped away from a green blade.

The fierce little dance sent the two women flying back, then Strax turned in mid-air, preparing a fireball.

"How you- "Vine said, but her body was paralyzed as a fireball flew towards her face.

Swin

The Hinna's sword cut the fireball in half, and Strax just looked at those two with disdain. "Freeze." He said, and the women's feet began to freeze.

"I never did anything for you, so explain why you're attacking me?" Strax asked seriously while summoning a pair of double-edged ice blades.

"You! You're humiliating us!" They said together, although they were only half-sisters, their synchronization was really good. "Tsk, you don't know what humiliation is," he said and started to freeze the girls' bodies even more, the ice began to rise up their thighs and made them...

"Kyaaa! My butt!" Hinna said quickly as she felt the ice probing her rear end, while Vine remained silent, but her face was completely red with embarrassment. Strax looked back with a smile on his face then... changed the shape of the ice to something like tentacles.

"Learn not to mess with those who are quiet." Strax said, and the ice tentacles began to lift the girls' bodies as they passed through their curves, unlike Hinna who was really uncomfortable... Vine... "Ahhh..." She moaned slightly as she felt the tentacle pass between her legs.

"I- brother! D-deseculate!" Hinna said, but... "Good luck, I'm going to the city to find my lovely wife. That was the last word they heard before...

"Please! Someone save us!" Hinna shouted, while Vine continued... well, I need to explain?
