Chapter 352 Her Decision!
Seeing the human youth flickering with three lightning bolts of three colors around the black katana in his hand, Countess Meera sneered, "Hmph! Boring! Why don't you fight me in your strongest form?"
As she waved her palm slowly in the air, a powerful gust of wind blasted the human youth, Damien, away. But after a few seconds of being thrown back, Damien flipped his body multiple times in the air and landed, skidding on the red dirt, creating a thick veil of dust that covered him.
As the dust settled, Damien stood tall and gazed at Meera intently. "Alright, I'll go all out just this once," he said before exuding a powerful aura and gaining height as his hair turned silver white, his skin luster black, and his eyes turned golden.
Countess Meera, who was about to end the fight, paused and mused, "Interesting! I've never felt such attraction towards a man, let alone a lowly human." But her strange arousal abruptly ended when a strong fighting intent rushed towards her. She cascaded her long straight locks behind her and whispered, "What in the holy Medusa's name did I just imagine? Silly me!"
As she witnessed the bloody red bat-like wings protruding out from Damien's back, Meera sighed, "Fine! I can't lie to myself. I'm drawn to this human. So let's play along as I conquer him gradually."
By the time Damien had completely transformed into his Satanic form, Countess Meera floated and said in a sweet tone, "I'm Meera, the Countess of the Three Tower City. Can I get your name, brave warrior?"
After flapping his wings, Damien rose to her altitude. "You can call me Damien," he responded.
After clearly hearing him, another thought crossed her mind. So Meera asked, "Are you close with her holiness, the Medusa?" as his accent in speaking Sanskrit was immaculate, just like that of Medusa.
"No, I just met her soul projection abruptly once, about a week ago." And Damien asked himself about the aforementioned Medusa. "I understand. So, she is sending this doll to test me, right?"
Even though he whispered under his breath, someone at the current level of the countess could hear him clearly.
"Me, a doll? Tee-hehe-he," Meera let out a soft laugh, continuing. "Even your ways of comparing me to a doll are quite adorable." Normally, if the remark comparing such a powerful woman to a doll came from other males, they would be made with dire consequences regardless of their species. Maybe their heads would roll on the ground.
The air between them suddenly changed, and Damien could feel it. So he said, "If you are not here to fight me, then I better be going." Then he flickered towards the rocky gate that was drooping into the ground.
Seeing his intention, Meera cried, "No, you can't leave." A trident condensed from bluish water elemental energy materialized in her hand and she dashed towards him.
Immediately stopping his forward movement, Damien turned around to be greeted by three pointed trident tips. This time, he stood still, choosing not to dodge. But the expected thing happened as the trident liquified at the last moment, splashing all over his face and shirt.
There was terror in Meera's eyes as she froze!
Turning back to his human form, Damien walked towards her step by step and said in English, "Oh blimey!" Then he continued in Sanskrit.
But somehow, her pounding heart was causing her distress. "D-don't you come near me?" Even though she possessed monstrous strength, at that moment, she felt so weak inside and out.
Damien said. "I think you have already abandoned your duty to capture me."
"No, I haven't!" She cried out aloud.
Standing just before her and caressing her face, Damien said, "From the moment I gazed upon this face, there's only one thought that has been screaming in my head. To capture this lady and force her into submission. But I don't think that is necessary anymore."
Blushing red, Meera stuttered, "W-what are you talking about?"
Caressing her warm face one more time and releasing his hand, Damien sat on the ground and said, "Listen closely, my dear. I'll give you a chance. Forget Medusa, forget everything to do with this world and follow me. Then I'll accept you unconditionally. You need to decide faster. Time is against me." Then he looked at the sinking gate.
Taking a deep breath and clearing her mind, Meera started to ponder and weigh her options before finally deciding.
Looking at Damien with misty eyes, she asked: "I choose to follow you. But I have a few questions." She continued. "If I go with you, what will I be to you?"
While beaming, Damien answered, "You are special. So you can become whatever you want."
"Then here is the last question," Meera asked. "You're different from any human I've met before. And seeing your free nature, I assume the place you're bringing me is ruled by humans, right? Then I'm afraid I may disgrace you." Then she gazed at her long snake tail pitifully for the first time, thinking that it was not beautiful anymore.
"So, you're thinking about me after all." Feeling touched, Damien stood up and walked towards her.
After admiring her beautiful tail, he said, "Your worries are unnecessary. I can help you with a seal."
He then chanted a mantra using a gist of god essence from his hidden third vertical god eye and kissed her.
It was unexpected for Meera as her eyes told everything, which eventually closed as she was enveloped in the euphoria Damien presented.
While Damien was kissing her skillfully, he also released a long black sigil into her mouth, which made her moan in excitement.
After a few minutes, he moved his head back. Panting and gasping for air, Meera looked down shyly and cried in surprise, "I-I have legs!"
She tried to walk but tripped as this was her first time having legs. Damien caught her. "One step at a time."
After multiple failures, and seeing the dire situation, Damien carried her and jumped into the narrow gap of the sinking gate.
